La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Merit.s]

Once again, an epic comeback for Real Madrid. After falling 2-0 behind Villarreal in the first half, they were finally able to pull off an epic comeback in the second half. Initially, there were doubts because Villareal's play was so good and tense. They were quite strong on all fronts and overwhelmed Real Madrid players until they took the lead. but unfortunately, they were unable to hold the position and just the opposite, losing in the end. Congratulations to Real Madrid has won the match against Villarreal 2-3.

A magnificent victory that will give Real strength and self-confidence. A second loss in a row and elimination from the tournament would have been a big blow, but once again an epic comeback and Real Madrid avoided such a deep failure in such a short period of time. I'm very happy for Vinicius - he scored the most important goal that was the start of this comeback and it was a good response to the criticism that has been heard towards him lately.

Real Madrid did great for them to equalise the two goals scored against them in the first half,and later won the match by scoring three goals in the second half. I admire their motivation and not letting their club to be defeated by Villa Real so that the point difference will not be that much. Real Madrid has proven themselves yesterday,that the team still have that quality that it takes to win their opponent,regardless how many goals down. Vinicius broke the deadlock in the team by scoring the first goal,I think Real Madrid needs to work on their defense, there is a loop hole in it,for a good performance and better result

[Raflesia]

Now the score has changed to 2-1 after Vini managed to reduce their lag but will this really be the same as their previous match.
Until now, Madrid still can't do much, even in terms of opportunities and ball possession, they really lost.
This is not really conceivable because Ancelotti is silent about the current situation and to be honest I don't really like their scheme and attack pattern like this.

They require a complete formation change. They need a strong team performance right now to win this game. There have been numerous lapses in the game, and I believe even the coach is unsure of the best substitute or change of play pattern to employ right now. I still believe they can equalize and win this match if these lapses can be corrected before the final minutes of the game.

The Los Blancos did equalize, score is now 2:2

I was quite worried about their condition in the first half, fortunately they played quite well in the second half even though there were a number of things that were still not properly repaired.
They were more adventurous with the ball in the second half and of course that is something that is quite good. The changes of the players also for Madrid in this match had a little effect but the problem is that at the moment their locker room is a little tense after this game it was reported that there were several players who were a little dissatisfied with Ancelotti who was considered to be playing favorites.

Real Madrid is still in a good position even though their last game against villareal yesterday  it doesn't mean real Madrid have listeded their possible standing and even if there is any internal crisis in the club it will not affect their perfoemanceperformancet the coming games.

Of course, Barcelona is only leading with 3 points, Real Madrid can overtake them in 2 matches. If Real Madrid can continue winning the matches and they can win again in the next El Classico, Real Madrid has a chance to return to 1st place. Barcelona may get a draw result in the remaining matches, especially when they have a crisis in strikers after Depay moves to Atletico Madrid.

By the way, what internal crisis do you mean? I never heard any issue related internal crisis of Real Madrid.

[Oluwa-btc]

The problem of defense is becoming serious for Real Madrid,  Real Madrid have been showing some weakness in their defense earlier in the season but yet it is a problem they find it tough to work on since then. The problem of defense has affected Real Madrid from getting more point to lead laliga and other games. When Real Madrid used to be in their good form Villarreal is not a team Real Madrid needs to struggle to win.  Their was no much difference between Real Madrid performance and Villarreal.

Of course, and I've said it many times in previous Real Madrid match. Real Madrid won't be able to win any titles this season if they don't worry about their defensive form, I mean Ancelotti must have good options in defense in the next games. The competition is still long, Real Madrid almost lost in the Copa Del Rey. Madrid also has the Champions League, and we really have to get all serious thinking about this competition.

If I compare the current form of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​then I have to admit that Barcelona really has a good form of defense and attack. Their midfielder is in good form, and it's a good capital to expect more intense competition for them.

That's correctly said about Real Madrid Defense but I think that Real Madrid will need an upgrade in midfielder's and not the defense definitely. They're no match compared to Barcelona, no matter what happens Barcelona are winning the Premier League.
The midfielder's are not hearing both the player's and Xavi Hernandez has done a lot just to see Barcelona back right.

[GiftedMAN]

I assume Atletico Madrid will end their winless streak of two matches this time. They are going to host Valladolid tomorrow and it is an easy win on paper.

ATM will play home vs  which is very close to the relegation zone and barely winning. The odds are way in favour of ATM and there is no excuse for them to not win.
What worries me a little is Real Madrid odds that are close to Bilbao while Barcelona should win easily vs Getafe. The points gap is already 3 points and might increase this round if Real Madrid don't win..

ATM hosting Real Valladolid is supposed to be an easy win for the home team regardless of their poor performance in their last two games but the big problem now is that Real Valladolid is one point ahead of Cadiz and two points ahead of Seville which is currently in the relegation zone so they will likely not want to lose the game because they will be the only way they won't be found there so the game is going to be tough but the bookmarkers are in favor of ATM and they will surely get all three points to boost their winning mentality again. I will predict ATM to win with 2 to 3 goals to be scored.

If Real Madrid can continue winning the matches and they can win again in the next El Classico, Real Madrid has a chance to return to 1st place. Barcelona may get a draw result in the remaining matches, especially when they have a crisis in strikers after Depay moves to Atletico Madrid.

I don't think Barcelona has had a striker left even though Depay moved to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona have Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Lewandowski, while they are also supported by wingers such as Dembele and Raphinha. Pedri has also been used frequently as a striker so far because he is capable of assisting attacks, but of course Barcelona must have a player who can really be relied on as a worthy replacement for Lewandowski.

Barcelona so far this season has been good, but they still need balance in the squad because I think some of the players are very young. If Fati had not previously been forced to continue playing because of his young age, the same thing might have happened to Gavi and Pedri who operate as midfielders.

Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres isn't a pure CF. These players can't play like Depay or Lewandowski. Barcelona needs a new CF now but the problem they don't have enough money. If Xavi expects to use Fati, Ferran Torres, or Pedri as a center forward, I doubt it will be quite effective. These players are good at dribbling or delivering assists, but not strong enough to fight with the opponents' defenders. They also aren't familiar with a CF position, they need much time to adapt.

[Ratash]

Mallorca are having a good season so far with their win today against celta vigo they managed to add three more points which put them in the 10th position with only three points difference from the top 6 but with a game more than the others, since they do not need much more points to avoid relegation i think the management will aim higher in the rest of the season and why not achieve the highest rank possible.

[redsun114]

When it comes to Sevilla I feel positive about their next game honestly. Cadiz are really a team that they can beat home.

It can still be a very challenging game for them considering their recent effort. But this is really one of the games they should be able to win for their sake. They can't do better against big teams obviously. They need to put a big effort into the other games to guarantee their staying in the La Liga at least. After all those games I guess Sevilla's main goal is to cling to the La Liga. The Europa League might be in the second plan now.

After the break we have some positive change in Sevilla which is currently having 19th spot in Spanish league table and desperately needs a win for jumping out of this zone which is never been ideal place for the team like Sevilla which having very impressive record here in Spanish league and Europa Cup Cadiz is also having good time with after break they play three games and won five important points their win against Valencia is surely good for them as here in this match Sevilla is surely having some advantage.

But, they can face trouble as well because for having good result they need to have few quality players as well which are not available and this can bring them down or out of the league for the next season with their current form.

Barcelona are doing good offensively so far and i think they should find solutions in the defensive term, generally Barcelona still a team that can't fight for many trophies as they same time because their squad isn't rish enough and this is absolutely not what Barcelona have to be, xavi and the administration still have big work to recover the prestige of Barcelona

Mallorca are having a good season so far with their win today against celta vigo they managed to add three more points which put them in the 10th position with only three points difference from the top 6 but with a game more than the others, since they do not need much more points to avoid relegation i think the management will aim higher in the rest of the season and why not achieve the highest rank possible.

With their win in the match against Ceta Vilgo, Mallorca managed to get additional points that made them into the top ten, but what needs to be noted is that the order is still very far from getting into the top five. Hopefully, in the coming season, Mallorca will make it into to the top 5.

The match ended in victory for Mallorca. Statistically and in the previous few matches, this was actually predictable, seeing from the standings and the matches they played, Mallorca was better.
But on the other hand, I quite applaud Celta Vigo's performance in this match because they have also fought very well even though they had to be willing to drop points in this match.

True . Both ferran torres and ansu fati are not the prolific striker.

If you compare it to a player like lewandowksi indeed , but they could become an effective striker though in case lewandowski is not available , if there is no chance for xavi to sign a new striker then i think there is no choice to use ansu fati & ferran torres at the front and nothing really to worried about.

As long as Mallorca can be consistent for not losing in the upcoming match, I think it's possible for Mallorca to go up even higher. Losing the ball possession against celta didn't mean mallorca's player gave up. Im so happy to see the result as I went to the Mallorca. Celta was also playing so well during the match but glad to see that even with lower ball possession and Mallorca can use the golden opportunity even better compared with celta vigo. That's why Mallorca was able to win the game against celta vigo.

They are not prolific strikers but their prospects are quite long considering their current age and on the other hand Ansu is actually a good winger in my opinion it's just that until now Ansu has rarely had much time to play. Actually it would be great if Ansu was given more time because he is one of the most talented young players in my opinion.

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.

Yeah, however as we know, Man United is now very on fire. If they can be more consistent and develop well until that big match, I am sure that both will face difficulties. Barcelona itself sometimes plays very amazingly, however, this will be different in Europe League. Will be tough. For La Liga itself, it is still unpredictable if we are looking at how some next matches will be. Once slipped and lost points, they will be taken over by each other.

Mallorca are having a good season so far with their win today against celta vigo they managed to add three more points which put them in the 10th position with only three points difference from the top 6 but with a game more than the others, since they do not need much more points to avoid relegation i think the management will aim higher in the rest of the season and why not achieve the highest rank possible.

Real Betis has only played 16 times while Mallorca has played 18 times. Currently the points are quite close, but it could be even further if later these clubs can get a win. Here, Mallorca's game is actually not very good and maximal. many gaps and missed opportunities. Likewise with Celta Vigo. Both of them have not been able to exert sharp attack pressure on each other. But fortunately, Rodriguez's single goal brought Mallorca victory.

Betis has a really difficult match and its an away one. Espanyol is solid at home and i dont think it will be that easily to get some. Also Mallorca is going to Cadiz that is really in need of points. While Celta has a game at home and is a big favorite to win.

Even though it's Espanyol's home match, I consider Real Betis as the favourite. Real Betis is a strong team this season. And they continue to push for Champions League qualification. Their performance is also quite stable. On the other hand, even if Espanyol have played well in the last few matches, I don't think they will win against a big team like Betis. I have also checked the statistics of these two teams facing each other. There have been 3 draws in the last 5 matches, and Betis have won 2 matches. Espanyol wasn't win a match against Betis in those 5.

With their win in the match against Ceta Vilgo, Mallorca managed to get additional points that made them into the top ten, but what needs to be noted is that the order is still very far from getting into the top five. Hopefully, in the coming season, Mallorca will make it into to the top 5.

I think that Mallorca didn't very ambitious like going to the top 5. Malloca itself was targeted for not entering into the relegation zone. Staying at the la liga is far better rather than stay at the relegation zone until the end of season. The win against celta has been securing the position of Mallorca. That's good to see this one didn't go to the bottom like another club i.e cadiz and other. Mallorca is slowly but surely going up again.

I'm actually worried about Celta Vigo rather than Malloca, the defeat they just got has made them fail to improve their ranking. Being in 16th position with 17 points does not guarantee that Celta Vigo will stay in La Liga. The difference in points with the teams in the Relegation Zone is quite close, Celta Vigo has played 18 games, while Real Valladolid, Cadiz and Sevilla have only played 17 matches.
Sevilla looking to get out of the Relegation Zone can be a threat to Celta Vigo. They could fall into the Red Zone if they don't put in their best form in this side this season.
