La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[jostorres]

I don't know how far Sevilla will fall or come back.

It is very difficult to predict Sevilla's current state, will they be able to rise, or will they sink even more in the future. They sit in 18th place with 2 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. It's true that currently it's not too far to get out of the relegation zone where they are now, but if they can't perform better in the second round of this season, I'm pessimistic that they will get out of this red zone. Their main focus should be to improve their performance first, before talking about something even higher.

In first 14 rounds of this season things looking the worst for the Sevilla with just two wins and having spot into last three which mean now after this break they need to be at their best for the surviving because they have not too many options and their performance is also not as they were in last season which is hurting on 30th December they are going to visit Celta Vigo which is also at same level of performance but Sevilla which is surely at their worst after selling few top players and fail to having their suitable replacements because now things are changing quickly into soccer world and if you want to survive then surely you have to be ready for all situations hopefully management will do better strategy and bring few better players in coming transfer window for better results.

that's a pretty good match for sevilla if they are able to win that game. sevilla and celta are in the bottom zone and these two teams are only 1 point apart, even if sevilla is able to win this match then sevilla will get out of the relegation zone. sevilla needs an overhaul in the transfers window, management must be able to improve sevilla's performance in the second half of this season. a big team that is known for often surprising the laliga in previous seasons but who knows what happened at the start of this season.

even sevilla have isco who is their key player but he hasn't been able to give good expectations in every game they have played i think he should be able to find his best form against celta.

This player is not going to make a difference to the competition of the current season. It could be a long-term player. Real Madrid already has a very strong team in the league. Vinicius has also become very good in recent years. And he's not that old at all. Only Atletico Madrid managed to break through the monopoly with a title in the La Liga 3 seasons ago. And I don't know how long Xavi can stay at Barcelona, he will have to win prizes one day. He has received quite a lot of praise with his way of playing, but as a board you want to win prizes. That is ultimately the only thing that matters and what you will be judged on.

We have too much speculation about Real Madrid future after Karim Benzema injury even we all know they are capable of having better results from their current squad without any issue because they have enough quality players those can give their best for achieving good results but still media is talking about much about few things which are not discussed able with Barcelona is currently leaders in La Liga with just two points difference, and we can expect changes in league table because Real Madrid can fight back with now again we have only two teams fight for the title Atlético Madrid is struggling badly, and they are not strong enough for having better results, but Real Madrid is surely not easy team specially as right now they are defending their two titles.

I'm worried about Lewandowski's performance after joining Barcelona. Actually he has been doing pretty well in the La Liga. There hasn't been much problem with his scoring performance. Except the El Clasico game of course.    Lewandowski's main problems so far has been to play ineffective in big games. It just doesn't matter what tournament he plays in. He hasn't been able to score against big and tough teams properly so far. These games are the ones they need him the most actually.

The interesting part is that he wasn't like this while he was playing for Bayern Munich. Something has changed about him by his arrival at Barcelona. I'd have said that it should be an adaptation problem but there is none. He has already scored many goals for Barcelona. I hope he regains his self-confidence in big games as well.

[baeva]

I think Karim Benzema will stay at Real Madrid this season. He is a great striker, and has a lot of experience. He led the Real Madrid team himself and has a unique role behind the achievements of the Real Madrid team.

I also expect Benzema to stay at Real Madrid for a longer time. We might even see him retiring here actually because he seems to have such intention for now. I don't think Real Madrid would think the opposite about this after all Benzema has contributed to the team so far. He played a huge role in the successes of the team especially in the previous season.

I know that Ronaldo left at some point even though his contribution level was much higher. But he left by a huge deal at the same time. I don't think Benzema would be signed for a big amount of money by another team at this point because of his age especially.

I think he wants to finish his career at this particular club, he is happy with everything and most importantly he suits the team management. I can't guess how many more seasons he will play, maybe 1, maybe 2, but if he maintains his level of performance he will always be in the main squad, is that bad? I think any player would be happy with that.

Some players require adequate time to adjust to the new team they have just joined; some may even require an entire season. Lewandowski has a unique perspective because he has begun to demonstrate his scoring prowess for his new team Barcelona thus far. However, he has not yet fully adapted to the players in the same way that he did for his Bayern teammates, so it will take some time for him to get used to the Laliga style of play.

[alpamar99]

The absence of Pogba and Kante gave Griezman opportunity. In World Cup 2022, he was used differently than before. He has to run more to cover Mbappe's laziness and special rights to be free of defense. But Griezman also contributes well to France attacking too.

Agree with what you say because indeed the absence of Pogba and Kante has made a blessing for Griezmann, indeed in several seasons in the league he has not gone well. but with his current condition hopefully he will start to regain his confidence and when he becomes MOTM in the Morocco match it gives little hope that his performance later after the world cup will improve again in the league.

[Furious 7]

Xavi is having issues chasing two trophies at the same. Last season he had to forfeit the Europa after losing to Frankfurt to secure a second place in the Laliga. This season he lost in the Uefa CL group stage while chasing dominance in the Laliga as well. I don't know what to expect from their game against United but it seems United haven't gotten their own balance yet so it could be an advantage to Xavi to pull through the Europa with strength and dominance so much is lying in wait for Xavi once all leagues resumes. 

Xavi Hernandez started bad performance in first season with Barcelona, but he has chance in this season with La Liga tittle in this season after leading 1st standing poaition right now and have two points left from Real Madrid. Actually Xavi can't bring Barcelona have better performance after Barcelona eliminating from Champion League group stage.

Still can't guarantee with Barcelona will get Europe League trophy because against Manchester United in play off round, last season Europe League is not lucky for Barcelona after beating by Frankfurt.

I didn't see any failure in Xavi for the first season because regardless of anything, seeing from their condition at the beginning of last season with the end of the season it was clearly very different and that was Xavi's achievement but indeed failure in the champions league is one thing that cannot be forgotten.
But for now I feel he has failed because with Barcelona's condition which is much better than before and the expenses made for player transfers are quite expensive when he fails in the current champions League it is a real failure for me, even if he succeeds in winning La Liga later (fans hope) still I can't think of this as an advantage.

[RILWAN]

There have been a lot of pointer that some top clubs in the La Liga will be optioning in for new players when the transfer window opens in January, clubs like Real Madrid are already rooting for young and vibrant players that will help increase the club chance in both La Liga and the championship this season.

[Pokapoka124]

Sure, Karim Benzima will stay at Real Madrid this season because there is no serious talk of him leaving the club anytime soon; he is happy in Madrid and will likely stay there until his retirement because Real Madrid has turned him into a great player. He is the best player in the world, and that recognition was achieved by Benzima in Real Madrid, so they did very well to keep him to this point. I believe they need a strong striker like Napoli's Oshimen as his replacement before releasing him.

Of course, Benzema feels happy and comfortable playing in Real Madrid. I never heard a rumor about Benzema leaving Real Madrid. I'm surprised when I read some comments about Benzema staying or leaving. In my opinion, no doubt that Benzema to stay in Real Madrid, maybe until he retires from his professional career.

Yep, since Benzema often gets injured, Real Madrid needs another top striker. Mbappe, Osimhen, or Harry Kane seems fit to be Real Madrid striker, but I don't know if Real Madrid will have a chance to sign these players. They are the main strikers in their current clubs and their market prices are expensive. These factors may be a serious obstacle to signing them.

In my opinion, Karim Benzema would be the last person to leave this Real Madrid squad. If I'm not wrong he has been at the club since 2009 and we have witnessed him play under the shadow of players like Gonzalo Higuaín or Cristiano Ronaldo.

We have seen him at his lowest point when he scored five goals and we have also seen him at his highest point when he has scored more than 25 to 30 goals in a season. As of right now, I think he is really happy to be part of Real Madrid. I hope that he will continue to do so for the rest of his career.

It is so obvious Benzema is loyal to Real Madrid and he’s a fanboy at heart. He has given his best efforts to the club for years now and contributed immensely to the success of the club in the domestic league and also in the Champions league, if his wish is to retire at the club I think it is only fair to grant him his wishes after all he deserves it, we will see if his wish would be granted or declined.

[Rengga Jati]

I also expect Benzema to stay at Real Madrid for a longer time. We might even see him retiring here actually because he seems to have such intention for now. ....

I know that Ronaldo left at some point even though his contribution level was much higher. But he left by a huge deal at the same time. I don't think Benzema would be signed for a big amount of money by another team at this point because of his age especially.

Indeed, the contribution of Benzema to Real Madrid is very big and he has been in the club for a long time. We always understand that a club needs players that always give a contribution to the club so they are still in a mutual agreement.
Here, if we look at Benzema's condition, he is already getting old, especially after the injury he experienced, and his performance has indeed declined slightly. So this gives doubt that he will still be the main striker at Real Madrid or not. But if you look at conditions that may continue like that while Real Madrid still has to fight hard for the Champions League, maybe Real Madrid will look for a more productive and great striker. But my hope is the same, Benzema will still stay at Real Madrid.

Benzema is a loyal player, he also has a good attitude. That's why he never has a bad issue in Real Madrid. He stayed in Real Madrid for a long time, Real Madrid knows that he should keep Benzema because he is a loyal player and important to the club. Sure, he already won varied trophies, both La Liga title and UCL title. Even, Benzema seems to win more trophies than Ronaldo.

Because of his loyalty and dedication to the club, he surely deserves to retire in Real Madrid. If Benzema still has good fitness, he seems to play 3-4 years more. He still has a chance to win more trophies with Real Madrid although he may be not the first option anymore for Real Madrid striker if Benzema no longer a productive striker in the next few years.

But my hope is the same, Benzema will still stay at Real Madrid.

At least there is still time until his contract at Madrid is actually finished. Now he still has to focus on continuing to contribute and giving his performance for Madrid in the remaining contract now, especially in this season, Madrid still needs the figure of Benzema.
Before Madrid found the right successor, it would not be wrong to make Benzema the backbone, even though in this case his legs are indeed very fragile now.

Benzema may stay at real madrid until he will retire. Real madrid has been treating him like a legend. Benzema has been giving so many trophies with real madrid. I hope real madrid will not try to do something bad for him.
He has been using everything he has to make real madrid won any title in any season. He was the best striker that has ever owned by real madrid.

I know that Ronaldo left at some point even though his contribution level was much higher. But he left by a huge deal at the same time. I don't think Benzema would be signed for a big amount of money by another team at this point because of his age especially.

Benzema was old enough to play in another club. The possibility for the new club to sign him will always there but i think that real madrid still sees the potential of benzema despite his old age. Real madrid already got a young striker as a replacement for him but this striker needs to learn from benzema.

An ambitious club like real madrid will never feel enough on what so called 'loyal'

look at what cristiano did and yet he have to leave , and this benzema case ... i didn't see any exception , he will have to leave as the club moving forward , not even ancelotti could make benzema situation better , once he play in an underperformed matches ...  the board will trigger the reasons to get him out of course in respectful way. age is just a number but yeah great time will pass on him as nothing great than the club interest in reacheng the goals.

Robert Lewandowski has a nature that is friendly to everyone so I think this will make it easy for him to adapt to many people in Barcelona quickly but it depends on whether he wants to do it or not because Robert Lewandowski will still be professional and of course teamwork is needed so Robert Lewandowski will consider that to his advantage when on the pitch.

The big club like real madrid already planned some important players that must be bought for the upcoming transfer season. Real madrid aware which players that have old enough to continue their career in real madrid and a new striker as a backup for benzema.
Real madrid must be playing without benzema caused by his injury and this is greatly affecting the performance by real madrid in the la liga. Im sure that anyone aware about this to. The management of real madrid aware about what they shall do during the january.
There's why there many rumours linked to the real madrid.

Barcelona didn’t focus on the Champions League this season. I think they are solely focusing on the La Liga title. And I think Barcelona is also in a very good position to win the La Liga title. But the main competition, Real Madrid is also not going to sit back and relax. Real Madrid is currently in the second position. Barcelona is going to face some difficulties against Real Madrid for sure.

Barcelona will have to be very consistent and Barcelona cannot lose even one match. Forget about losing, they shouldn't even draw a match. Otherwise, they will be giving Real Madrid a chance to get back to the first position. Barcelona is only two points ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona should always try to make that gap bigger.

Lewandowski needs a short time to adapt with his team mates on the club. it doesn't matter a lot if barcelona wanna try to buy some new players again. Lewandowski was a typical of player that can adapt with any situation that was changing so fast around him and i see not problem with him if he will get new team mates in the team. Lewandowski needs a very short time to adapt with new players and i guess kante may be in the same club with him very soon as kante agreed move to the barcelona.

I believe, Karim Benzema have a lot of things to help the team to achieve if they can give him more chance to display them to the whole world. I think he is very ready to spend the rest of his life in Real Madrid because he love the team genuinely from his heart. If Real Madrid coach by mistake release Karim Benzema to another team and use cristiano Ronaldo to replace him, it will be difficult for them to perform well because it happened to Liverpool in this season that is making them to regret why they released Sadio mane to another team.
