La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Hyphen(-)]

Betis vs Bilbao is the game I've been waiting for from LaLiga and I still believe Betis has the first chance to win the game but also they are the better team and have the better players. Bilbao , in my opinion , they have massive luck to be on 4th place in LaLiga and this will change when teams like ATL.Madrid and maybe Valencia will start to win more games.

Real Betis are out of form; they lost their last Club friendly match against Atlanta and drew with Inter Millan, and despite beating Manchester United, they are not strong enough to beat Atletico Club Bilbao, who have won their last five games.

According to the statistics of the last five matches played between them, Bilbao has a high chance of winning the match because they won three and drew one of the last five matches played together, whereas Betis won only one of the five matches.

[X-ray]

I hope Lewandowski's absence in this game doesn't become an excuse for them not winning this game. Because it is very clear on paper the quality of the players they have are already different from Espanyol.

We can only hope but it seems like that the only change gonna be the main striker from barcelona. As far as i know that barcelona refuses to sell de jong. Depay has a very big chance to play against espanyol. I hope that espanyol will be also giving a tough game for barcelona.
Barcelona and real madrids will be trying to win the match. That's gonna be interesting match. Will barcelona have a domination over espanyol even without lewandowski? Let's see how barcelona will able to make goal without lewandowski.

[makishart]

Both have same possibility. I meant real madrid will be going up if barcelona will not able to win against espanyol. Real madrid needs to win the next match caused by real madrid must not lose any points again. Public were seeing the matches from barcelona and real madrid as easy matches. I have expected full points to be earned by both and there would be no choice for real madrid other than staying at the second place and waiting for barcelona to lose some points.

Fear teams that are likely pushed to relegation, they are underrated sometimes because of their inability to move up but they are the type that wins over big teams at the top because they need the points to stay away from relegations more than the top 4 teams. Don't be surprised if Espanyol takes Barcelona by the horn, and if Real Madrid could win Valladolid, that is a chance to take back their place in the table.

Sure but i think that the relegation team was not the type of team that potentially to win against the big team. Unfortunately these relegation teams fully rely with luck. I meant they were able to winning against the big team caused by they got lucky enough to make it happen.
If we are seeing the statistic and the gap is too far from the big team like barcelona compared with espanyol.

In the Week 15 match that will be played soon, it is very likely that the two teams will both get full points because the opponent they are facing is not too tough, Barcelona will have to play without Lewandowski but I am sure they will definitely play as best they can in the match against the Espanyol team because Barcelona really needs full points so that the standings points are not overtaken by Real Madrid because the Valladolid team is also an opponent that the Real Madrid team can easily beat.

Agreed, espanyol may give barcelona a surprise. Barcelona and real madrid likely winning the match easily without any problem. Valladolid and espanyol have worst performance this season.
No doubt if real madrid and barcelona will be going back with full points from those teams.

[Docnaster]

Now the conditions for them to win are so strong that I think 3 points for each (Barcelona and Real Madrid) will still happen.
2 Points is no big deal and the league is still long enough for anything to happen. I'm pretty sure Madrid actually hope that there won't be any more problems for Benzema now because this is what Madrid needs to catch up with Barcelona who are currently at a slight disadvantage due to Lewandowski's absence.

Barcelona will meet Espanyol in home tomorrow, while Madrid have come to visits Valladolid Stadion, which means Barcelona has a chance to add a different point tomorrow. Both are haven't problems the squad, both look turned on with the full teams and very confident after the world cup. Maybe we can't see Benzema and Rudiqer because still on recovery after injured, but is not the problem, because Madrid still has Vinicius and Rodrygo in the front. While Barcelona, Lewa, and Raphinha are on fire to create many goals.

Neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid is ready to lose the next match. Though with injuries on two key players on Real Madrid's side, Barcelona seems to have little advantage, coupled with the fact that they are playing at home. But my opinion is that no matter how long Barcelona resists an overthrow from the la Liga top table they might still not be La Liga champions because most of their players are quite old and lacks good substitutes for their position, especially the defensive line.

[BRINIRHA]

It seems that in the Villareal vs Valencia match, it will be Villareal who will benefit and have the advantage. because the match will be held at Stadium:El Madrigal. as the host of course Villareal will have quite high self-confidence. But in fact the competition between the two teams has been very fierce since the first. These two teams always take turns winning matches. and uniquely most of the wins are from the team that is the host. then I think this time it will be the same too.

[KTChampions]

In the game between Barcelona and Espanyol, bookmakers give the following odds:

1,26 - 6,60 - 11,00

And I would say that even with Lewandowski out of the picture, the bet for Barcelona to win looks obvious (although I don't like small odds).
With Valladolid and Real Madrid, everything is less obvious, but I also prefer to bet on the favorite:

6,20 - 4,80 - 1,49

The odds are too small for Barcelona even if it could be an easy win but for Madrid it gets better I think.
1.49 is still good enough for Madrid and I'll be here because like you I also like to bet on the Favourite but for Barcelona I'll probably skip that.

But it's interesting, with the odds for Barcelona, even without Lewandowski there, Barcelona is still heavily favored. even though seeing from their condition they might be a little bothered by the absence of Lewandowski in their squad.

I think such a low odds for the victory of Barcelona is due to the fact that the game will be at the Camp Nou. If Barcelona played away, the chances would be 1.5-1.6. By the way, in the next round, Barcelona will play away against Atlético and I can assume that even if Barcelona is the favorite from the point of view of the bookmakers, the chances of its victory will be more than 2.0.

It is quite shocking to me that Sevilla are in such a terrible situation at the moment. At the moment, they are in a very unfortunate position, as they are fighting against being relegated from the league, which is a very unfortunate position to be in. I would like to point out that in the last 14 games, the team has only won two games, drawn five games, and lost seven of those games. In the next match, they will play against Os Celestes, an average team from Spain. There is no doubt that they will want to win that game in any case. The reason they need to win this game is because, if they lose that game, it will be very difficult for them to escape the relegation zone if they lose that game.

Sevilla had a very good squad in the past years. They also had a lot of success in the European league. 
They became one of the teams that come to mind when La Liga is mentioned. That's why their current position surprises and shocks everyone. They manage to get out of this ranking, but I think they will not be able to go to the European cups. Their only goal this year will be to stay in the league. Sevilla's next matches are very important for them. They can no longer lose points.

If Sevilla somehow loses points, they are going to end up staying in the relegation zone, which is going to be really bad for them and might also end up resulting in them getting relegated. That is going to be a big surprise, because no one expected them to be in this situation, let alone getting relegated in the season.

2 wins in the 14 matches they have played is the bad record that Sevilla has shown this season. Sevilla from a big team has become a weak team this season. the fans are quite disappointed with Sevilla's poor performance and they hope that Sevilla management can bring about changes in the match against Celta. victory must be obtained by them in the next match to get out of the bottom of the standings. sevilla is also moving in the transfer window this season where they have targeted loic bade who is rumored to have arrived in sevilla and so far the two sides are rumored to be a little closer to reaching an agreement in this transfer.

I think some players are going to leave Sevilla in this transfer market. I believe that they are not going to stay in the team because I believe they understand really well that this team actually might get relegated. So players will always think about their career. And I think it will be the right decision taken by the player if they actually do that.

Today La Liga starts again, 3 matches scheduled: Girona-Vallecano, Betis-Atletich Bilbao and Atletico Madrid-Elche Officials Girona-Vallecano, Stuani starts from the bench for the home team.

[Oluwa-btc]

Totally agreed.

We just can't rule Barcelona out for the La Liga title in this season. It would be ridiculous while Barcelona are technically the leader at the moment. Their performance against smaller teams have been more impressive than Real Madrid's until now. If Barcelona keep this up Real Madrid might have to deal with a really big problem for them. Benzema is back of course which would be a big contribution and morale to the team. But we will see how this will change their performance by the upcoming games.

I expect these two teams to fight until the end. When it comes to the team I'm favouring for the title, it is Barcelona. Because they haven't been able to make it for three years in the league. This is a big opportunity while they are doing well here.

By the way, I don't expect Barcelona to lose any player in January. They just won't be able to sign any player most probably due to the La Liga financial fair-play rules.

On GOD I'm no Barcelona fan or supporter in anyway but I really want to see them winning that La Liga at all cost so as to enable them scratch off some of those financial worries they currently have.
Real Madrid are favorites but my hunches still tells me man! Barcelona are winning La Liga at the end of the season snd I believe that.

I don't see em loosing a player, and if they do that, then it's to Barcelona's detriment. Is almost stupid to loose players at a point you don't have enough money to bring in replacement. I hope they make good decisions and win the league.

[ShowOff]

I think some players are going to leave Sevilla in this transfer market. I believe that they are not going to stay in the team because I believe they understand really well that this team actually might get relegated. So players will always think about their career. And I think it will be the right decision taken by the player if they actually do that.

Sevilla most likely won't be relegated, I'm absolutely sure about this. It's true, Sevilla have only been able to win 2 matches out of 14 matches so far, meaning that their performance is really bad.

Sevilla's defense is problematic and they haven't had a good striker this season either. Sevilla have lost two centre-backs this season to Barcelona and Aston Villa, but they have not signed a player to match their quality. A few transfers didn't make them stronger but I'm sure they will do something better in January.

[arimamib]

Let's see if the first match in week 15 will be interesting or mediocre. Because these two teams are not the favored teams to win the best position at the end of the season. I'm sure we all miss the performances of Real Madrid and Barcelona more than the league itself, because the competition between these two teams has been eagerly awaited since Barcelona managed to return to the expected performance since being handled by Xavi Hernandez. 

The hunt for the title will continue until the end of the season after Barcelona can provide competition to Real Madrid after Xavi managed to bring Barcelona back to its best form. This season's La Liga is not very competitive after Atletico Madrid and Sevilla failed to maintain their best performance, Valencia and Real Betis also lacked competition in the European zone.
The performances of Real Madrid and Barcelona have been very difficult to match with other teams this season, only El Clasico was the most exciting in La Liga after other teams left the championship path.

yes, I remember meeting her in some games that I saw and in which I bet
but then she seems to have disappeared? Have you had financial or legal problems?
I don't understand how a team can eclipse so quickly
surely there is a very strong cause

At the beginning of the year, they made me wrong on some of my bets. Trusting the name Sevilla and looking at the quality of the squad, it is really the surprise of this year that they are in this position. Now they have to recover, they have to come to their senses. I'm afraid to bet on Sevilla. They are not trustworthy at the moment. I think they'll see success really soon. Together with the Celta Vigo match, they can start to win.

The situation in Sevilla is not good right now. Them being in the relegation zone is something that probably no one expected. They have a goal difference of -9 right now. That is certainly not expected. I don’t know if they have any certain problems going on right now or anything, but this is certainly not expected from them. And now there is only one thing left to see, which is the sacking of the coach of Sevilla.

Villarreal and Valencia both need a win to boost the standings in La Liga as well as secure the top five positions as a condition of qualifying for next season's Champions League. So far Villarreal has collected 21 points while Valencia has collected 19 points, five points adrift of Real Sociedad in third place and Atletico Madrid in fourth place, which means that the match will be quite tough because both want full points in the match. Even though Villarreal has the advantage of playing at home in Week 15, Valencia also needs a win in that match.

In terms of the strength of the two teams, they are not much different and of course it is difficult to predict who will win, but if you look at the last few matches, Villarreal has the opportunity to beat Valencia at home, because according to the latest results, Valencia has not been able to keep up with several teams in La Liga this season.

Villarreal and Valencia both need a win to boost the standings in La Liga as well as secure the top five positions as a condition of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Top 5 and 6th to qualify for the European League, while top 4 to qualify for the Champions League, so a little correction here.

So far Villarreal has collected 21 points while Valencia has collected 19 points, five points adrift of Real Sociedad in third place and Atletico Madrid in fourth place, which means that the match will be quite tough because both want full points in the match. Even though Villarreal has the advantage of playing at home in Week 15, Valencia also needs a win in that match.

Atletico Madrid is currently in 5th place even though they are level on points with Bilbao. Villareal and Valencia both have the opportunity to improve their position in the standings so of course the match between the two will be quite tight. I tend to agree for Villareal to win in this match compared to Valencia, but who knows even though Villareal is playing at home.

Last season Villarreal managed to finish 7th in the final table, but this season I think they deserved to qualify for the Europa League if they didn't waste many chances in easy matches. It might be difficult, but they seem to be trying.

[Pulsar77]

It's a derby game for Barcelona and Espanyol which normally is difficult for both teams. Catalan derbies are generally won by Barcelona more than Espanyol, but after all Espanyol can also make surprises. I don't expect Barcelona to drop points, so victory is mandatory for them. I'm sure Barcelona will be able to maintain their advantage over Real Madrid this week, which means I have no doubts about their win at home. I hope they don't have too many problems without Lewandowski.

Barcelona haven't lost a single home match against Espanyol in the league since 2009.

While there is a statistics like this I just see it very difficult for Espanyol to defeat them. Maybe Lewandowski won't be able to play in this match but I don't think this will weaken Barcelona very significantly. I saw a match Barcelona played in the league before in which Lewandowski didn't play. Ferran Torres must be playing in his place but still they didn't have big difficulties in winning that match. I think there will be a similar scenario here as well. Espanyol have been too bad in away matches so far. They won only once and it was a long time ago. Barcelona should be getting a decent win.

[longyenthanh]

Mbappe is a psg player for now, he is under contract with psg and Real madrid have to turn their attention away from him because it will be too difficult and expensive for them to sign him now, maybe they can when his current contract expires with psg, but anything before that is too hard to achieve.

PSG know what they did with Mbappe, I mean PSG will not allow any team including Real Madrid to try to get Mbappe for free at the end of his contract. Real Madrid seem to have enough funds to bid PSG for Mbappe but I think they just don't want to do it now. Mbappe's release clause is very high, but I think it's worth it for the form he's had so far.

Real Madrid will never lose Mbappe despite such a high price, he is still young and he is the one who will replace Messi and Ronaldo in the coming seasons as the next best player in the world. His performance is better than Neymar, he is very fast and very difficult to stop. Real Madrid of course really like him, but they seem to have no intention of activating his release clause at PSG.

M. Bappe is going to be the number one of the world's best very soon.  He is young and talented and fast.  So no matter how much money Real Madrid gets the chance to buy M Bappe. Because M Bappe will rule the next generation.

[longyenthanh]

Welcome back La Liga after one month postponed due FIFA World Cup 2022 and today first opening match will begin, most enthusiast watching four our favorite team playing. Girona vs Rayo Vallecano will be opening match for La Liga in matchday 15, another excited with Real Madrid match early than Barcelona and have opportunity back to the top position standing for one day if can defeat Valladolid.

Seems between Barcelona and Real Madrid have full team for their first match except Robert Lewandowski have absent three matches later after receiving red card last match. Barcelona will begin with derby against Espanyol and looking forward how possibility with scheme use y Xavi Hernandez after Lewandowski absent.

I really missed this very competitive league, let's see if the performances of the teams will be the same as before. Real Madrid and Barcelona must win 3 points without difficulty, their opponents are not very strong. If they make a mistake in a week like this, they can cause teams to panic.
I don't expect any surprise result this week, the leaderboard will not change for long and after 1 day Barcelona will be the leader again

it's important to remember that in soccer, anything can happen.while it's true that Real Madrid and Barcelona are historically strong teams, it's possible for them to have an off day and lose to a weaker opponent!!!it’s also possible for a weaker team to put in a strong performance and surprise everyone with a victory!!.its important to approach each match with an open mind and not make assumptions about the outcome.even if the leaderboard does not change after one day, it's important to remember that there are many more matches to be played and anything can happen.
It's important to enjoy the competition and the excitement of the sport!!

No team is small in football.  Any team can make anything happen given the opportunity or the slightest weakness in the strong team.  So being in top rank is not a big deal.  Rather, the aim should be to win every match ahead.

Barcelona this season have been a very good team in La Liga both in home and away results, so even though this is a derby match it is basically clear they have very different qualities. Unless Espanyol also has good quality, then this derby match will certainly be very interesting but because of these differences, of course this derby match cannot be the hope for Espanyol to be able to beat Barcelona.
Moreover, so far this season Barcelona is the only team that has conceded a very low number of goals in La Liga.

With such extraordinary results, of course Barcelona this season in La Liga has proven that Barcelona has a very good defense line.
So, even though Lewandowski cannot be played, the fact is that Barcelona will still be safe, at least not to concede a goal. Because with Barcelona having a good defense, then they only need to maximize their attack, because so far Lewandowski is a goal machine for Barcelona.

[Zaguru12]

The situation in Sevilla is not good right now. Them being in the relegation zone is something that probably no one expected. They have a goal difference of -9 right now. That is certainly not expected. I don’t know if they have any certain problems going on right now or anything, but this is certainly not expected from them. And now there is only one thing left to see, which is the sacking of the coach of Sevilla.

They already sacked Julien lopetuige who is now a wolves manager in the Epl. I think what Sevila needs is team cohesion because it has been lacking throughout this season, they still have quite a good squad even though they lost Kounde there regular centerback to Barcelona. His departure has greatly affected them defending important lead or holding on to a point. This transfer window I feel they need another creative midfielder because creativity is lacking but with the return of En Nesyr after a great world cup it will be a boost for there attack. I believe they could turn it around this second half of the season

[Asiska02]

Today La Liga starts again, 3 matches scheduled: Girona-Vallecano, Betis-Atletich Bilbao and Atletico Madrid-Elche Officials Girona-Vallecano, Stuani starts from the bench for the home team.

This year's La Liga title will be taken by Real Madrid

You appear to be quite certain that Real Madrid will win the league this season. Remember, the league has only recently resumed, and they will be playing the remaining half of the matches. I won't argue with you about the possible league winner based on their performance, but let's see if they can maintain their performance in the remaining league matches to earn the title.
