La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Minor Miner]

The difference in points is only 3 points from Barcelona, ​​you can say that it will only change in 1 match to come, but it can change even further if Real Madrid performance decreases in the match to come. The competition for the Laliga title is still these two teams for this season. standings rankings are still subject to change if one of them loses balance in the upcoming matches. both barcelona and real madrid they are still competing to show better performance in the upcoming matches, maybe for barcelona they have found their identity after winning the first trophy of the season after beating real madrid in the Spanish super cup and that was the first trophy won xavi presented to barcelona.
But what's most interesting at the moment is that the 4,5,6 ranked team these three teams have collected the same points, but for Betis they have 1 match left which allows Betis to shift the two teams above if Betis is able to take advantage .

If you look at the percentage of points scored by Real and Barcelona, then we can say that three points is a very big advantage. But the fact works in favor of Real that in case of equality of points, the first indicator for determining the champion is the result of personal meetings. It turns out one defeat of Barcelona (or the victory of Real in a personal meeting) and Real will return to the top.
As for the decline in Real Madrid, this is normal - it happens to all teams and Barcelona will not be spared either. You can't go through the whole season "exactly".

Yes, I agree with you that three points are a lot of points because we have seen a lot of teams win the league with only a one-point margin. But the thing that concerns me is that Real Madrid's performance is degrading over time and I think one of the main reasons is their defense. They had a really good start to the season right now they are struggling both on defense and attack as Karim Benzema alone can only do so much.

[Docnaster]

In today's game Cádiz vs Elche in the Spanish League, neither of the two teams could win the match. Because Cádiz was ahead by 1 goal in the first 7 minutes of the match. After that, Elche scored 1 goal towards the end of the game.  The match ended in a draw in Caron. However, Cádiz played very well from start to finish.

last night's match Cádiz was superior to Elche, this bottom-of-the-table match is of course also an interesting spectacle but Cádiz must share points with Elche, even though at the start of the match Cádiz made a quick goal but unfortunately at the end of the match Elche made a surprise and the score ended in a draw

This match was more exciting than imagined as both teams put on a very good game they don't want points to be stolen so this is a real treat worth watching.
In terms of opportunities and possession, they are very balanced, and buying and selling attacks are constantly being carried out which makes this very good.
This 1 point doesn't make a real difference but I think they share that point has been very good in this game.

Elche was a better-attacking side but yet couldn't score more.  I didn't give much attention to this match, but it was quite interesting. Cadiz couldn't maintain their 1-0 lead, they were much better at possessing the ball. After the lucky goal in the first half, they were already above Espanyol in the standing but I'm surprised dey couldn't force more attack and this brought more pressure upon them which led to the equalizing goal in the 89th minute.

As for the decline in Real Madrid, this is normal - it happens to all teams and Barcelona will not be spared either. You can't go through the whole season "exactly".

the percentage of matches that have been played by both teams in Laliga is 16 matches and between these two teams maybe barcelona is so far better because they have only lost 1 time and that happened in El Clasico. So Real Madrid has swallowed 2 defeats so far. But that's not a very important benchmark for them to show who is the best. I say the difference of 3 points is very close because these two teams still have long stretches in the match to come. One thing that must be done is to be able to maintain their performance in every match but Barcelona have so far been able to do quite well.

Real madrid are still very dependent on karim benzema and that's why they have to change their playing tradition for this season otherwise I think a lot of things will happen in every game they will play.

[redsun114]

Well the fact that Cadiz did not score in all the opportunities they had means only one thing and that is the unwritten law of soccer which says that if you don't score you will concede.That is exactly what happened last night,Cadiz was self complacent and thought that they already won the game and I find it funny the way Elche woke up in the second half as if you think about it,the point they got does not do them anything good,of course is better than 0 points but overall it does not change even a little their position which is a sure relegation most likely in the end of this season.

Even this result having no impact on league table and Elche will still be having bottom of the league table, but their performance in second half was much better, and they have done good work in defense which give them one point from this match and Cadiz having suffer due to their sloppy work because in case of win things could be better for them but due to this draw now they are also having to stay into last three which is surely not good for them.

Now in next round Cadiz will visit another struggling side Sevilla which is going to be good encounter because they are also improving and trying to come out of this zone which is likely to happen in this match because now Cadiz will be depressed and can suffer again in this match as well.

The current odds for the Athletic Bilbao v Real Madrid match are like:

Athletic Bilbao : 3.00
Real Madrid : 2.40

The odds are quite close seemingly. It is technically a tough match for Real Madrid on paper. If this match was in Santiago Bernabeu the scenario could have been more in favour of Real Madrid. Actually Real Madrid don't have a bad history in this stadium. There are quite many matches they have won so far. Their form has dropped lately and I wonder if this will be a hindrance for them mentally maybe. Athletic Bilbao didn't seem very good against Real Sociedad last week. If Real Madrid break the deadlock early then I believe they will win more comfortably.

[Dickiy]

I think Real Madrid will make up for the bad results they have got recently on next game week. I know that Athletic Bilbao are not one of the teams to be underestimated. But Real Madrid have a solid head-to-head history against them in away games already. They beat Athletic Bilbao so many times. The last time they lost in this stadium was like eight years ago.

I think they will be victorious here once again. As Barcelona will beat Getafe in Camp Nou most probably Real Madrid need to get this win to keep up with them. The point gap has already gone up to three points in the end. Real Madrid need to make their point losses in such games as low as possible.

I think it will be an easy match for Real Madrid, as I remember when Real Madrid faced Athletic Bilbao always dominated the victory for Real madrid, As far as this league goes Bilbao looks bad in his game so it's not a big problem for Real Madrid to take all three points in the match this.

Barcelona has been going very well, it is also very likely that they will win against Getafe, so far they have finished the game without dropping points. Real Madrid is required to win in their match against Bilbao so that they are not too far away from Barcelona who have enjoyed their pride at the top of the standings for a long time.

Retesting back to form is not an easy job but real madrid can bounce back to glory ways if they signed good quality players. Real Madrid possess what it takes to beat athletic club. The Los blancos not in the best form after losing the super cup final to their pre-eminent rival, Barcelona. Real madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti will implement good strategy in the game because he wants to equal points with barça. Real Madrid stats this season, 12W 2D 2L and they're ranked second on the table while their opponent, athletic club is sitting on 8th on the table with 7W 5D 5L.

[sana54210]

Real Madrid suffer in last few matches, but it's not mean they will give up and allow opponents to create gape widen right now they still have enough quality and ability to fight back which will happen against Athletic Bilbao in coming match because now after losing against Villarreal and Barcelona things need some quick work, and they will start fixing things from this match which will give them good confidence for the future and rest of the season.

Barcelona is surely at their best due to Xavi hard work and long run strategy even they are still needs some more time for having their best, but currently they are strongest for the title race and having good change of formation which is giving them quick results in last few matches as well.

I agree, they may not be winning all the games recently, but they are still Real Madrid and they are still a great team, which I think they will do fine. They still need some more players, they have built a great young squad that could takeover from the older players in the team, but they need a lot more players, a right wing, one attacking midfield and if possible greatest striker they could ever find, and I mean Mbappe/Haaland levels of striker if they possibly could.

Because when you are Real Madrid, the difference between a title and losing is the guy who could score thanks to all the other teammates, if the striker misses, everything else was for nothing.

Here's my prediction for the Copa del Rey:

REAL SOCIEDAD vs MAIORCA

Real Sociedad already horded seven consecutive victories. Real has a strong team while Mallorca has a much lower squad compared to its opponent. In this way,I expect to see Real Sociedad ending up offering its fans a win.

REAL SOCIEDAD to win

ALAVÉS vs SEVILLA

Alavés has the massive support of its fans in its favor for this match, however, the visiting team has a superior squad. In addition, it should be noted that Deportivo Alavés have lost five of their last eight games. That said that, I believe risking in favor of ''Sevilla to win'' in this game is a good option.

SEVILLA to Win

So, here's for the final results:

REAL SOCIEDAD 1 vs MAIORCA 0

REAL SOCIEDAD to win

WIN

ALAVÉS 0 vs SEVILLA 0

SEVILLA to Win

LOSS

One was right and one was wrong. So this made me end up in loss. I hope you guys had better luck than I did!

[lalabotax]

Their problems are still the same today and indeed they have to go back into the relegation zone after this loss.
actually it's not too surprising in my opinion because seeing their performance it's still not going well but what I regret is their victory in the previous match which actually could have been used as momentum to be wasted by their defeat in this match.

It's a shock to everyone and I can't help but wonder, did the team and their management not think seriously about the fact that the possibility of relegation is so great that it won't allow them to get into La Liga again? I'm really confused, maybe they thought about it, but was it serious enough? As for now, the result is still just like that, without any significant change. Or have they given up hope? At least they made sure enough to be in the bottom zone before relegation until the end and not go down again. Who knows in the next season they can make an epic comeback. but then again, this is just like a fantasy for them to play well again hahaha

I think everyone will think about it, but they haven't really found a solution on how to improve team performance. Sevilla were completely bad, it was the same even after they started to show seriousness against Getafe.

Currently Sevilla take on Alaves for the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey. Sevilla is 1 goal ahead, but the fight is not over. For next match, Sevilla will meet another relegation zone team i.e Cadiz, it should be a start that can make me hope they win.

As we all know before, it is not always a easy game whenever athletic Bilbao is playing against Real Madrid. So it is always hard for someone to predict Real Madrid to win over athletic Bilbao likewise athletico despite we always see real Madrid as better team than athletico Bilbao.but currently real Madrid is not in form likewise athletic Bilbao, but I am just looking for to see what will surely happen when they meet on weekend but I still have  little confidence in real Madrid that they may win the game.

Barcelona is also playing against Getafe which I believe that will never give Barcelona tough time like that due to their not inform and again I don't even think they can handle Barcelona in camp Nou stadium even their in form. So I am expecting three point from Barcelona.

[Rengga Jati]

I think everyone will think about it, but they haven't really found a solution on how to improve team performance. Sevilla were completely bad, it was the same even after they started to show seriousness against Getafe.

Sevilla is bad in all elements, too complicated. Even after the change of coach, the club is still unable to find suitable strategies and tactics and improve their performance. They are just getting worse and worse in the bottom two. After winning against Getafe, I thought they would improve a bit, but they didn't, it was just luck. It's not easy for Sevilla to bounce back because of the complexity of the problems at the club, especially the players who are starting to get down motivated.

What's the point of him not being happy? As Barcelona coach, Xavi has won the Spanish Super Cup for the first time. Since 2010, Ancelotti had not lost a final, but Barca topped Real Madrid following the impressive performance in the domestic league. .....

I'm sure Xavi was very happy with the win, but that doesn't make him very satisfied, because he still has goals that they still have to fight for, namely La Liga and also the European League. But at least, this can be a little medicine for their lack of success in the Champions League although it may not be able to cure 100%. They continue to strive to play very well, Xavi encourages and coaches them. That's why La Liga is more interesting now than it was last season, isn't it? Because the El Classico we've all been hoping for is really back again.

What's the point of him not being happy? As Barcelona coach, Xavi has won the Spanish Super Cup for the first time. Since 2010, Ancelotti had not lost a final, but Barca topped Real Madrid following the impressive performance in the domestic league. Barcelona's winning doesn't make them better than Real Madrid, but it improves their champions league performance from next season just like they did in the domestic league. After working hard, Xavi pulled Barcelona to the top, and it's just beginning for Barcelona to return to glory.

The Spanish Super Cup trophy is the first trophy for Barcelona since Messi left for PSG as well as the first trophy that Xavi has lifted in 14 months in charge after being officially appointed as head coach. The Spanish Super Cup trophy could be a huge morale boost for Barcelona players in their pursuit of success after the club experienced financial problems and the departure of one of its legends to PSG.
After this there are still several trophies that Barcelona might be able to achieve this season, Xavi will try to lead Barcelona to success after being equipped with different generations of players in the Barcelona squad who understand each other more and more.

In overall appraisal, I cannot say Xavi is a bad coach. He is a very good coach. What happened is that since he arrived the club, he is being measured with a very high yardstick.
He was still being measured with the standards of Messi, Inesta, Sauraze and Neymar. Despite that the club had some serious financial issues, fans didn't put it into considerations.
Barcelona can be able to maintain their lead if they actually want to.

[Blawpaw]

Here's two more predictions for Tomorrow's Copa Del Rey:

GIJÓN vs VALENCIA

It is true that the visiting club belongs to the echelon above, however, it has shown some difficulties in all processes. I should note that, in official matches, Valencia has only two wins in the last seven matches. On the other hand, Gijón is a team that is known for its defensive capabilities and should put a lot of limitations on the opposing formation and take advantage of some counterattacks.

Both teams Score

ATH BILBAO vs ESPANYOL

Bilbao comes from a defeat in the last round of La Liga, however, it presents better individual and collective arguments to defeat the opponent of this round of 16 of the King's Cup. I should note that Espanyol is going through an irregular moment, with only one victory in the last four official matches played. That said, I believe by having the massive support of their fans, Atlético Bilbao will be able to achieve victory.

Bilbao to Win

Let me know what you guys think!

[snipie]

ALAVÉS 0 vs SEVILLA 0

SEVILLA to Win

LOSS

One was right and one was wrong. So this made me end up in loss. I hope you guys had better luck than I did!

I am a bit confused here! I didn't follow these games but when I checked the results it shows clearly that Real Sociedad won indeed and that Sevilla won too 1-0 vs Alaves. The goal was scored by Rakitic in the beginning of the second of the game..

[Jody.Drummer]

Because the El Classico we've all been hoping for is really back again.

Even if they did bring the Trophy but only being satisfied with it was clearly a mistake. This trophy can be considered not too important if their goals are La Liga and Europa League. Even if they got a good thing for this victory because at least they have the trophy back after a few seasons out but indeed this cannot be used as satisfaction now because they still have a lot of work to do in this regard.
The target for the Europa League still has a challenge in the play offs because there is Manchester United and for La Liga even though Madrid are 3 points behind now but this is not something they can celebrate quickly considering there are still quite a lot of games.

[kro55]

I watched the entire match. I enjoyed the whole match mainly because it was a Barcelona vs Madrid match. Xavi's match tactics really impressed me.

Xavi did good management and has built up Barcelona very good but this trophy was contributed by poor defense of Real Madrid too. Real Madrid opened their box to Barcelona and in this match, Barcelona simply converted mostly all opportunities thy have to goals.

Real Madrid's defense is not weak. I would even say the strongest defense in La Liga is Real Madrid. However, their performance in this match was not good. Real Madrid's overall performance in this match was poor, not just the defense. Apart from Benzema, I don't think any other player in the attack has performed well.

He has been able to execute excellent tactics even against big teams like Madrid. And he deserves this title. Both teams attacked. I don't think they played defensively. Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen's performance was also excellent. But the most important thing is that the performance of Barcelona's midfield has improved a lot compared to before.

They played an attacking match with many shots and opportunities but Barcelona had more dangerous chances than Real Madrid. Ter Stegen had less works to do than Courtois so I don't think he had to work too hard in the match.

Barcelona's players were able to create several good chances. This is why they managed to score three goals. Courtois' performance was also not as good as expected if we compare it with Ter Stegen. Although Barcelona's defenders performed poorly, Ter Stegen performed brilliantly. If Ter Stegen does not perform well, maybe Barcelona will not win the match so easily.

Even then, some of the weaknesses in their defenders choked me. Xavi definitely needs to strengthen his defense.

Barcelona have to improve their defense because they can not rely on midfielders too much and in all matches. Their midfielders are not too good with defense too.

I agree with you. Barcelona will definitely need to reduce their reliance on the midfield. They need to strengthen their defense. I don't see experienced players in Barcelona's defense. Barcelona needs experienced defenders.

[reagansimms]

--Snip--

I think everyone will think about it, but they haven't really found a solution on how to improve team performance. Sevilla were completely bad, it was the same even after they started to show seriousness against Getafe.

Currently Sevilla take on Alaves for the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey. Sevilla is 1 goal ahead, but the fight is not over. For next match, Sevilla will meet another relegation zone team i.e Cadiz, it should be a start that can make me hope they win.

The victory over Alaves at CDR became a valuable asset for Sevilla after a series of disappointing results in La Liga. This season Sevilla appearance has not been very consistent, after the last defeat to Girona made Sevilla stuck in 19th place with 15 points. Being in the Relegation zone is not a great achievement for a team like Sevilla, Jorge Sampaoli will have to play the same strategy as when beating Alaves to get a win over Cadiz to get out of the Relegation Zone.

SEVILLA to Win

LOSS

In these two matches, I got the expected results.
There is no doubt that Real Sociedad is stronger than Mallorca. So I bet Real Sociedad to win. But in the Alaves vs Sevilla match I doubted if Sevilla would win. Because their performance in La Liga this season is very bad. Still I took the risk and bet on Sevilla to win. My guess is that Sevilla will be able to qualify for the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. As their performance in La Liga is not good. So they might now be eager to perform well in the Copa del Rey.
