La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Doell]

Bilbao team is moving to their second 0-0 draw in a raw and this time against osasona, bilbao did many goal attempts especially in the first half but they wasn't able to score any goal, we still have around 7 minutes to play but I don't think there will be a goal in this match because osasona team is doing great defensively

Both were getting 1 points as the result from the match between bilbao against osasuna. Bilbao has been trying so hard to make the goals against osasuna but osasuna was doing fully defensive in that match.As you can see that bilbao was making so many goal attemps but only a few that was very accurate. that's why bilbao was not able making the goal against osasuna caused by it was not making a good accuracy in so many shoots.
Bilbao can do better than it. 17 shots in total but only 3on target. it's such waste of chances

They are very ambitious for 3 points but it is very unfortunate that their condition in finishing is really bad, I think so many opportunities are wasted just like that.
They still find it difficult to take advantage of that even though their condition in terms of ball possession and the opportunities they get are actually very good.
17 shot and 3 on target is clearly not very good in my opinion.

Fernández made a very good save for Osasuna, Bilbao should have been able to score in this match but Osasuna defense was really tight. Indeed, statistically 17 shots without a goals is really not good for them, I see their fans disappointed in this match. Should have been able to secure three points but only one point, fortunately they didn't lose points in this match because Osasuna counter attack was really dangerous.

Osasuna did great defensively in this match but nothing really in attack, it seemed like thier goal was to get out with a draw, Ath Bilbao were the only ones attacking  and we didn't see much from Osasuna, Bilbao really wanted to win and dominated but they didn't crack the code of Osasuna's defense, if they win they could have jumped from 7th to fourth place, but it wasn't bad they are still only two points behind Betis in 4th spot.

In terms of the number of points left behind from the team in fourth place it's not bad, but it also makes it difficult for both of them to catch up with teams that are very close to fourth place because they also still have very high consistency in matches. Unless there are some of them who can lose in the next match which will open up opportunities for a team like Osasuna to get a better ranking.

[crunck]

Atletico Madrid's real opponents in the league are teams like Real Sociedad, Betis and so on in the league from now on. Because they have shown once again that they are no threat to either Barcelona or Real Madrid. The point gap was already very big though but the Barcelona game showed why the gap was that big again.
Simeone had better prepare for resigning from his job otherwise I think the board will decide to sack him at the end of the season. This is such a terrible season for them as they are in no European tournament and even their chance of finishing in top 4 might be in danger.

There is no chance for Atletico Madrid to compete against Barcelona and Real Madrid right now. In my opinion. Right now Atletico Madrid is going to have to think about the third position on the table. Because the first and the second position is not going to be acquired by Atletico Madrid.

And I am not sure that we can just say it is the fault of the manager. Yes, there are some mistakes being made by the manager, but the players that also not playing at their best as well. And both of them have resulted in the downfall of Atletico Madrid.

In the match between Athletic Club Bilbao and Osasuna, I have to say both teams tried to break the deadlock. But they were unable to do so. Both teams have tried to attack and break the defense of the opposing team. But in the end, both of them failed to convert any of those chances successfully. Bilbao actually had a lot of chances. It was surprising to me that they could not convert one of those chances into goals. I think they missed an opportunity to grab three points from this match.

Today there was a different game in the Spanish League. Athletic Club vs Osasuna these two teams played full-time game but neither team could score any goals. But in this match Athletic Club played very well. I thought Athletic Club maybe 1 goal.  The match will be won but Athletic Club could not score a goal. However, Athletic Club played the game in a very beautiful way.

I expected benzema withdrawal
What you say seems strange to me, Real Madrid is a professional team and as such if a player serves, they take it

either way, he needs a replacement now and so I assume he's moving on about that

Well, now they are in a process that I don't understand, Real Madrid is a team that can sign anyone, but I can say one thing, after the signing of CR7 by Al Nassr, how does it leave Real Madrid standing? because those of that team paid a much more exorbitant rate and this leaves Real Madrid as a team that does not give much money for its players, in part they are teams that, seeing this, are filled with pressure when they see that an Arab team has a capacity A much higher payment is something impressive, now Real Madrid's negotiations for their signings should be at that level? because the other players when they see that they pay well there they will start to go.

Barcelona were able to hold on to the lead until the end of the game. Simeone and his team will be very disappointed with the team's result tonight, it was difficult for them to make a come back from one goal lead, they created chances but were unable to convert any thanks to Barcelona's defense line that made it possible for Barcelona to hold on to the win till the end and thank to Dembele who gave Barcelona the lead after a disappointing outing in the world cub. Xavi will be so glad they could get a win and continue to lead the table in January.

Yes, and here we have to give honor where honor is due, Barcelona did very well and it's really recognizable and Xavi has a lot of credit here, on the other hand when we talk about Atlético de Madrid it's disappointing, the team can't win almost a game, I don't know what's wrong with them, I don't see the same strength or claw that characterizes them, they should have it again because if they continue to show that level they won't do well in the league or anything else, Simeone has to reconsider, because in part that's his fault, the players only do what they have to do following the orders of what he directs, it remains to be seen later, while 3 points is not much, that's nothing for Real Madrid.

No matter whom or what he is facing, Gavi throws himself into every challenge, both tackles and on a more macro level, feet first. The teenage sensation has been one of the best things to happen to Barcelona over the past two seasons and he continues to grow at an impressive rate.

As injuries mounted, Ronald Koeman gave him his debut early last season, with the young Sevillano keeping his head above water in a sinking Barcelona team.

Since he has asserted himself in the Blaugrana, winning significant minutes despite the presence of Pedri and Frenkie de Jong. This season he has been in the starting XI more often than not.

You never really know when teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona drop points, sometimes they miss the easy match but they succeed in the more difficult match. Prestige may be part of what makes them play better, but I also agree that luck also plays a role in this case. After all, 3 points from Real Madrid doesn't mean that Barcelona is safe, it's just a little to say the competition between the two teams has dropped.

I'm happy to see Barcelona manage to get a good performance in a match like against Atletico Madrid, meaning that Barcelona has proven what it is in the title race when they need important points.

In that match, Barcelona only got one goal, so they only got a 1-0 score. So with a win like that, Barcelona seemed to get lucky, which finally made them win, and Barcelona managed to secure its position to remain in first place at the top of the standings.

 With some key players missing I never thought Barcelona would would grab a win like that, they didn't play like I expected but a 1-0 win at this stage is a welcome development with Madrid losing to Villarreal. I just don't wish for Barcelona to draw there next game since they have secured the number 1 spot on the table.

I think that it doesn't matter a lot whether barcelona was lucky or not, as long as barcelona was winning the match and that's more than enough. that being said that if barcelona can do better than real madrid. I meant you can compare atletico's level is still far above villareal as the previous opponent for real madrid but atletico was losing against barcelona. that proves that if barcelona is still leading the way in the la liga. Real madrid can hope to surpass barcelona at the end of season. That would be a very important match. Madrid still has el classico that will be coming next months.
Barcelona must try to create more gap to make sure its positions was in the safe place

They said Barcelona were lucky because they did not believe in Barcelona, did hate Barcelona a lot. They had bad emotion when Barcelona won and they tried to criticize non sense. I know luckiness is important but Barcelona can not win many matches if they win it because of luckiness only. They must be strong enough to win many matches and luckiness only contributes in some of their winnings.

Real madrid can hope to surpass barcelona at the end of season. That would be a very important match. Madrid still has el classico that will be coming next months.

Real Madrid actually can surpass and beat Barcelona at the end of season. They are not weaker than Barcelona and La Liga does not end after the last week. It has been continuing with lot of surprises in future.

El Classico match is important for both Barcelona and Real Madrid but it is only a single match that is not enough to decide a winner.

In football there is always a certain element of luck, although in competitions such as the league it is not usually decisive. In this case we see how Barcelona started the league with some stumbles, and despite this and the pressure they are under due to economic problems, they are now 3 points ahead of Madrid. Although 3 points are nothing and even less so at this stage, but they are better than what some said at the beginning of the season.

No choice for barcelona other than targeting the first position until the end of la liga. I meant barcelona shall win any match that will come soon. Real madrid has three points gap to the barcelona. Real madrid was also losing in head to head with barcelona in the total goals. that gives more advantage to the barcelona if sometime the points will be the same at the end of season. I think that people going to believe in barcelona again.
The competition will be even stricted once the league will be coming to its end. I see that if barcelona was trying to strengthen its team as preparation for the el classico too.
The el classico will be a very important match as three points are really important for both. I can only hope that xavi will not try to did another experiment again

Unfortunately Bilbao was failed to accomplished their mission that i didn't watching the match but statistics showed Bilbao was dominate the game since early minutes and with 17 total of shots it proven Bilbao want to gets 3 points from this match but apparently Osasuna has displayed strong defense which makes the result of this match ended without any goals happened but the opposite from Bilbao situation that i can see this result was very favorable for Osasuna because they know it's hard to win from Bilbao that's why Osasuna was aiming 1 point from this match and this is good for them because at least Osasuna didn't lose from tough team

A beautiful game played in San Mamés Barria stadium with the home side putting more pressure on their visitors who retest back the pressure with equal defending pattern. Such a way to hold down the home team in a narrow escaped defeat, osasuna tighten every knots in every area on the pitch, although they didn't make more attempts on goal like athletic Bilbao which winning was their ultimate target in the match. Wonderful performance displayed by athletic Bilbao in the game, as they remain 7th position on the table while osasuna are just two points behind them.

I don't think the narrow victory against Atletico Madrid was luck but the result of the hard work of the Barcelona team to beat their opponents, even though the thin score was not luck, I'm sure Barcelona also wants to win the Spanish league this season, of course they have to play well than before so they can become the superior team and keep the distance from real madrid

Although 3 points are nothing and even less so at this stage, but they are better than what some said at the beginning of the season.

the difference of 3 points is certainly not a difficult thing for Madrid to chase. Barcelona is almost unbeaten in their last few matches in La Liga (they are lucky and hardworking) and so far they have only lost 1 time while Madrid has lost 2 times. so I'm sure Barcelona's struggle will only stop when El Clasico happens and the schedule will happen in March.

Unfortunately Bilbao was failed to accomplished their mission that i didn't watching the match but statistics showed Bilbao was dominate the game since early minutes and with 17 total of shots it proven Bilbao want to gets 3 points from this match but apparently Osasuna has displayed strong defense which makes the result of this match ended without any goals happened but the opposite from Bilbao situation that i can see this result was very favorable for Osasuna because they know it's hard to win from Bilbao that's why Osasuna was aiming 1 point from this match and this is good for them because at least Osasuna didn't lose from tough team

if Bilbao managed to win in yesterday's match surely now they are ranked 4th (shifting Real Betis) but they failed because Osasuna really had a good defense, from the match statistics there were 17 shots and 3 shots on goal made by Bilbao but all of them failed to become goals. Bilbao is pretty unlucky IMO.

Wonderful performance displayed by athletic Bilbao in the game, as they remain 7th position on the table while osasuna are just two points behind them.

It has been proven that Bilbao is not strong enough to continue to compete in the top six, because basically Bilbao is a team that always competes in the middle of the standings. So this draw is not something to prove whether Bilbao is a strong team for Osasuna or not, because basically their quality is not much different.
Although indeed, if we consider the statistical results that occurred in this match, it proves that Osasuna cannot carry out many attacks. Because with Bilbao continuing to attack and have good ball control, it worked to make Osasuna not have many opportunities to make attempts to score goals in this match.

But in this match Athletic Club played very well. I thought Athletic Club maybe 1 goal.  The match will be won but Athletic Club could not score a goal. However, Athletic Club played the game in a very beautiful way.

There's no lots of differences between osasuna and bilbao. Both were playing so well but it seems like that the position between both have been telling us about the truth. Bilbao was dominating the match but it was not able to make the golden chance that will be giving a goal to the bilbao. Both were getting 1 point. that is better rather than get nothing from the match caused by bilbao was losing against osasuna. Osasuna looks so strong at this moment caused by it can defend from attacks that were coming from bilbao.
Bilbao itself has been trying so hard but it's not luck enough to make the goal against osasuna

Xavi, has stated that he is targeting two trophies at once this season. that way, Xavi will prepare everything to make it happen. because if not, his career with Barcelona will end until this season. I quite doubt Xavi's performance, even though I am actually a Barcelona fan.

IMO, in the match Atletico vs Barcelona. Barça's defense showed high solidity and discipline. a pretty good point for Xavi, but for Barcelona's front line they still lack ammunition, especially when Lewandowski is absent. Xavi rarely gives opportunities to explore the talents of their young players for the front lines, even though there is Ansu Fati who has talent that must be explored deeper.

Xavi still has homework that still needs to be done, especially the chemistry and bonding of his players. Reportedly, Xavi will keep De Jong and I am happy to hear the news. it seems, xavi has learned a lot from his mistakes over the patterns and strategies he applied. thus, I am still optimistic that Barcelona can at least compete in the race for a trophy this season. however, it is not easy at all as Real Madrid's dominance is still too strong. so, like it or not, Barcelona must win match after match to increase the points gap from its rival.

[Jody.Drummer]

I don't think the narrow victory against Atletico Madrid was luck but the result of the hard work of the Barcelona team to beat their opponents, even though the thin score was not luck, I'm sure Barcelona also wants to win the Spanish league this season, of course they have to play well than before so they can become the superior team and keep the distance from real madrid

They controlled the game with their tiki taka tang scheme. their chances were actually also pretty much how could it be luck.
They won because they deserved to win. Atletico is also actually quite good in this match but seeing the results on the final scoreboard, of course Barcelona is better.

Right now it really isn't too important to discuss whether they were lucky or not because what is certain is that they also don't have time to think about that and what they have to do is focus on their condition and maintain their condition which currently has the upper hand.

Barcelona must try to create more gap to make sure its positions was in the safe place

I would say to anyone that they are been biased and hating on Barcelona to say that they were 'lucky' in their last encounter against Atletico Madrid. I can say confidently that the Ref was been professional seeing how he handed the fight between Torres and Stefan Savic, that was the moment I think Barcelona started defending heavily as the time was coming to an end despite the pressure from Atletico Madrid, the whole match looks like Elclasico in disguise, anyone who watches just the highlight wouldn't have the balls to say that Barcelona was lucky with that awesome performance.

The last time Barcelona hosted Real Madrid in Camp Nou, Barcelona conceded 3 goals at home, the next time they would meet would quake Estadio as I believe Barcelona would want to revenge to get their points back and Real Madrid wouldn't let it slide either. It will be a big game I anticipate especially how both are following each other at the table.
