La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Rockstarguy]

Atletico Madrid is just two points behind Real Sociedad in third place in the points table. Apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, no other team has had a consistent performance in La Liga this season. Therefore, the position of the teams in the third to seventh place in the points table can change at any time. And Atletico Madrid will continue to do their best to qualify for the Champions League. Since Atlético Madrid's players are slightly more experienced than other teams, I think Atlético Madrid will qualify for the Champions League.

I don't think the performance of the World Cup teams will have any impact on club football. Because national team and club football are completely different. The performance of players in the national team usually has not made an impact on club football.

Atletico Madrid have poor season in this season after eliminating from Champion League and still not consistency performance in La Liga and behind 2 points from Real Sociedad at 3rd position and remaining until 13 points from  Barcelona managed 1st standing right now. Reach to Champion League standing spot still possibility for Atletico Madrid but I don't sure become compete for Barcelona and Real Madrid in winning tittle race.

Exactly Atletico Madrid loss participant at European tournament after eliminating at Champion League then failed reach to Europe League, I see has opportunity for Atletico with domestic league only participants and can focus 100% for chance winning La Liga, different with rival team Barcelona and Real Madrid are still play at European competition.

Atletico Madrid is a good team and they have a chance to do well in La-Liga. But their biggest tough opponents are Barcelona and Real Madrid, these two teams will be very difficult to beat. After the World Cup we will see the magnificent La Liga match.

Last season Atletico Madrid was among the top 3 teams in laliga,  they were more consistent and trying to work harder then. But this season Atletico Madrid are not very consistent. Real Madrid and Barcelona has always been a threat to Atletico Madrid before now, because this two teams are the strongest team in laliga and Atletico Madrid sees it difficult to win this teams. Real Madrid and Barcelona have  talented players in their squad,  so I don't think Atletico Madrid can comfortably defeat this two teams.

Atletico Madrid is a good team and they have a chance to do well in La-Liga. But their biggest tough opponents are Barcelona and Real Madrid, these two teams will be very difficult to beat. After the World Cup we will see the magnificent La Liga match.

Atletico Madrid cannot beat the two big teams unless they want to try and improve good teamwork because in fact all team strengths can become weak when they cannot work as a team well, whereas if Atletico Madrid are able to do that then they still have a chance to get the win.

The Atlético Madrid players are actually not bad, it's just that they are too ambitious to retain coach Diego Simeone, who we know has coached Atlético Madrid for nearly ten years and he was unable to give Atlético Madrid a supremacy title. Maybe Altetico Madrid's management needs to be fixed first, otherwise they will still be below and maybe even worse he will suffer the same fate as Valencia.

Was the reason for their decline in performance because they were too ambitious to retain their coach Diego Simeone? I don't think so. Precisely what I see is no innovation made by Diego Simoeone to stay at his best playing level. They're not too bad, it's just that they have to develop themselves more in order to be even better, they can't be at the same level all the time, because other teams are also developing.
This is homework that Diego Simeone must complete and continue to think about looking for even more promising strategies.

Athletico is a good side with a good coach,but their inconsistency shows that they are not ready to win anything nor compete fiercely with Madrid and Barca.Madrid and Barcelona have two good attackers in the person's of Lewandowski and Benzema,who always deliver them and score important goals for them,but Athletico does not have a prolific goal scorer who scores regular goals for them.But even at that,if there was team work in the Athletico team,they would have been winning matches.Nevertheless,the January transfer window is fast approaching,when teams will sign players from the market,and maybe,they will be able to get players that can help them pick form.

But this inconsistent Atletico Madrid has been going on for years and they should have started to improve from the coaches to the players. If they only rely on one player in the attack line, of course it will not produce any results. Look at the list of players they mostly still have a lot of old players in their squad like Koke, Carrasco and Jan Oblak how will they get the most out of it if they don't look for replacements for new players who are younger and fitter.

An additional negative factor is that before the first games in La Liga, which could possibly help to forget what happened, it is still far away and the players will think about what happened for the rest of the time until the resumption of the Spanish championship. By the way, Lewandowski also does not have the mentality of a winner - in a completely lost game, he rejoiced like a child at a goal scored (the score became only 3-1 and Poland went home).

I don’t agree with this analysis at all, because these guys are professional’s and they know that they cannot dwell on what happened and must completely focus now on winning the La Liga hence I expect them to perform well once the league matches resumes. Furthermore Lewandowski doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone, because his records speak for themselves and to be fair it’s probably his last World Cup and he was just enjoying his moment.

Naive. Do you think that professionals = robots and devoid of human emotions? Or do you think that for footballers who do the only thing in their lives, football, being knocked out of the World Cup is as easy as it is for us to watch the game and turn off the TV and "move on"? I am sure that it is not and that this is a strong blow to a person, no matter how strong he may be.

Betis are one of the consistent teams for two seasons. Since they signed a contract with Pellegrini things are going much better for them. They are able to stay in the top 4 competition. They missed the chance for this area by a few points last season. Because they got some poor results on final weeks and they lost their chance in the last moments of the season. But Pellegrini's general performance was still very satisfying for the team and they even extended his contract. There is no need for a change as long as they stay at this level.

Betis' chance for top 4 is even higher maybe now. Because Sevilla are having one of their worst seasons. They are trying to get away from the relegation zone. Of course Betis have new rivals for this area like Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao. But I think Betis will be more consistent than them. The previous season was a good example for that.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Betis does not have a bad team, but in Spain you are unlucky that you almost always have Barcelona and Real Madrid that stand out. Betis has been successful several times in Europe, but it is hard work to qualify your own TWA for the CL from the competition. Places 1 and 2 normally always go to Barcelona and Real Madrid, so you basically play for 3rd place at most. Sevilla held on to 2nd place last year for a long time, but eventually managed to throw everything away and even finished 4th. Atletico Madrid should also be able to finish a bit closer to Barcelona and Madrid at the end of the season.

Of course Betis have new rivals for this area like Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao. But I think Betis will be more consistent than them. The previous season was a good example for that.

It would be a shame if Betis failed to finish in the top four this season, considering that Sevilla is no longer in competition for the top four. At the moment they have the same points for Bilbao, Atletico and Betis at 24 points, so the chance for Betis is still very open, even though Betis is currently in sixth place in the standings, that doesn't mean Betis has lost its chance.
Basically there is nothing to doubt about Pellegrini because Pellegrini is also used to dealing with big teams, so Pellegrini has a good way to make his team compete in the top four.

But if Sociedad and Bilbao can stay in the top four until the end of the season then it is a great achievement, because in the end it is another team that can benefit from the fall of Sevilla and not a team that is used to competing in the top four like Atletico and also Betis.
It will be an interesting rivalry as well, apart from the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of the table. Such a close points gap in the title race and also in the race for third and fourth positions, that this will be a very tight competition that will be presented in the second half of the season.

[lulumiya]

Atletico Madrid are just a team waiting to be saved now. I respect Simeone's great work with them in the past. But it is obvious that his tactics don't work anymore. His game plan is solved by many teams. We have witnessed a great example of it in the Champions League this season. They just finished the group as the last.

Things aren't very well in the La Liga either. As long as they are out of the title race with a great squad like this, things are just bad for them. Simeone should make changes or just leave his job to a different manager.

Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga. All the players in their team are very experienced and play tactically. The good performance of Real Madrid's team has the potential to go well in La-Liga. That means they deserve to win the La Liga title.

Real Betis have consistency performance from two season, at least 2021/2022 season Real Betis success finished at 5th standing place although have bigger opportunity with Champion League spot, not different in this season with Real Betis reaching 6th standing position and behind 2 points from Real Sociedad at 3rd position. I think Real Betis have the same opportunity in this season can reaching top fourth standing and back to play at Champion League for next season, without many points left from Real Sociedad and have the same points with Athletic Bilbao at 4th place I think Real Betis have opportunity lead to top fourth standing position.

Next match after World Cup, Real Betis have bigger opportunity against with Athletic Bilbao on December 30 and three points will make Betis lead to top fourth position.

Atletico was doing great jobs so many times even since  a few years ago. The only problem is when atletico was not able to compete with barcelona and real madrid. That makes atletico madrid seems pretty much underrated team in any season of la liga. It can be said that if la liga has been fully dominated by barcelona and real madrid since a few years ago. i think that if atletico can also compete for the trophy but the problem is this time performance from atletico madrid looks so crap at this moment.

That is understandable, you may not fight those two because they are just way too richer and that creates a gap. First of all the 1st and 2nd of the league gets so much more money than all the other teams, this is done purposely to give these two clubs more money, secondly ATM doesn't do well for long periods of time, if they were 1-2 for 5 years in a row, they would have become better.

And lastly, ATM is not loved by the world as much as the other two, which means less income. When you combine all these together you realize that it is a marvel ATM even kept up being this good for so long, being the third best team is still a big achievement for sure.

I really feel apathetic when it comes to the issues in la Liga; it's now looking less competitive -- even lesser than when puyol left Barcelona. It's now looking Asif the strength of the division were one "greatest of all times".
Look at a team like betis; they never had any chance to show up during the days when we had a complete squad in FCB -- when soccer was played According to how it was planned and that, ofcourse needed alot of IQ tested players, which they were themselves. Now it's looking really worse as Madrid doesn't even have a strong competition against them, so they'll just have to win again and again and again ,, ,, ,, ,,.....
I miss the good old days.

Sevilla must be feeling like there is no way out for them now. I can't even imagine how bad psychology they are in now because of being in the relegation field. It is really shocking to see a this big change in their performance in such a short time. Last season they finished at the 4th position but they are now fighting for getting away from the danger of relegation. When we assess their squad quality we can easily see that they still have really good players. Maybe they aren't a very young team but they are still far better than so many teams in the league.

They have changed their coach to search for a solution but this hasn't worked either. Maybe they should have given their old coach more time I don't know. But this break can still be a chance for them to discover the weaknesses and fix them. It would be a big shock if we see Sevilla in the second league.

Sevilla still has a great opportunity to improve their performance because this season there are many matches remaining. I'm not too worried about the surprises that happened to the Seville team because I believe they can recover in the second half of the season. but they will find it difficult to break into the top 4 in the season but for me they will try hard to be in the middle of the table in the second half of the season. sevilla has points that are quite close to the team above it so I'm sure they will be able to get out of the relegation zone when laliga starts again after the world cup is over.

Sevilla only needs to improve a little in the transfer season window. I hope their management is not stingy in purchasing players in order to be able to support their performance in the second half of this season.

[JeromeTash]

Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga.

I am a Real Madrid fan, but in what context?

All-time best time in La Liga? Yes
Form wise this season? I think Barcelona edge them, let's be honest for once and give credit where due

All the players in their team are very experienced and play tactically. The good performance of Real Madrid's team has the potential to go well in La-Liga. That means they deserve to win the La Liga title.

We will tell this at the end of the season

That is a very drastic decline experienced by Sevilla. After the previous season they were able to compete at the top of the standings, this season they are even struggling to get out of the relegation zone which is not expected by many teams. I never thought that they would fall like this because last season they played quite well. It took a very long time for Sevilla to restore their performance in the last few years.

I'm sure it's not that easy.  I saw Brazilian players cry.  They were in great faith.  Neymar showed how much he wanted that trophy at every opportunity.  Croatia got morale after scoring a draw in extra time and went to penalties with this morale.  Brazil, on the other hand, went to penalties with this demoralization and were surprisingly eliminated.  This was just the closest example.  

 Spain-Morocco match was much different.  I can say that Morocco did not even have a single position.  They knew it was their only chance to take the game to Penalties and try their luck there, and they succeeded.  For Spain it was a disaster.

The main competitor of madrid in la liga barcelona was also doing so well in the la liga but barcelona didn't have good mental to play in other than la liga. It has proven with the result in the champion league. Barcelona was going out at the early stage caused by it has been kicking out by intermilan. Real madrid is the only team from la liga that plays int he champion league for now. Im thinking about the real madrid will be starting to be serious to win the UCL again.
Real madrid has proven if it can be consistent in both of competition caused by all of its players have very good spirit and mental. Madrid is still having a very big chance to win la liga and UCL at the same time again. The gap with barcelona was not so big.

Being in the relegation zone is not a good achievement for a team that often occupies the top four positions. Sevilla still has time to improve, the transfer market can be used to bring in the players needed. La Liga has only completed 14 games, there are still 24 more games that Sevilla can use to improve their ranking in the standings.
To improve the performance of the team currently being handled, Jorge Sampaoli needs support from club management by facilitating everything needed, classy players are a priority that must be brought in when the transfer window opens.

When a club is not doing great it is always difficult to see great players that are willing to go to the club. Unless it a big club already who is just having a bad season and players will know thatvit will take a season or less than a season to recover from slumber. Big players now want to play on the big stage. If not champions league, atleast they should be at the Europa league which will give the hope that the Champions league dream is alive.
Sevilla on their own should show seriousness to attract big names.
