La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Alisha-k]

Today barcelona hosts getafe. while Real Madrid travel to Bilbao. Barcelona will want to get a comfortable win and at least maintain their lead. I have to say that Real madrid will face a tougher challenge on the road. It will be better for them if they can get a win from this away game.
We still haven't seen a goal in the Villareal-Girona game. There are about 8 minutes left in the match. Villareal are the better side but they haven't scored.

Facing a team which incidentally is a bottom-of-the-table team should be an opportunity for Barcelona to gain points and get away from Madrid pursuit, Barcelona performance is currently in a pretty good state so it won't be difficult for Barcelona to face Getafe later, looking at an easy opponent I think Barcelona will be able to get full points later, in another match, Madrid, which has just failed to win the super cup, of course, will make Bilbao an arena for revenge, but it is not an easy thing for Madrid to fight Bilbao because even though Bilbao is ranked 8th, we know that Bilbao this is a pretty tough club so far.

Bilbao will be a bit challenging to Madrid but Getafe will be a likely walk over for Barcelona. Barcelona will want to maintain their dominance in the league by picking up all three point from Getafe. Madrid will want to do same but it will not be without a calculative strategy for Madrid to win Bilbao

I really liked Sevilla on this week. They were so determined to get another win. They were in control of the match from the start to the end and this dedication level was promising. However the most important thing is to maintain this level of effort throughout the rest of the season. This is their only way out of the relegation zone in the end. I can't say that they have very tough opponents for some weeks except one of them. That opponent is Barcelona and the match is in Camp Nou as well.

I don't expect Sevilla to do much against Barcelona in this condition. But they should still fight hard for collecting some more points in the coming matches. They need to win some more matches to start believing in themselves again. Their defending is not very good now but they can at least get better at scoring to increase their capability of winning matches.

Barcelona against Getafe and Athletic Bilbao against Real Madrid. I have no doubt that both favourites will win these games and get three points each and the race for top spot in the standings will continue, but only Real Madrid have a slightly stronger opponent than Barcelona. Athletic Bilbao have not lost five of their last five home games. I think it's going to be tough for Real.

Getafe's position in the La Liga standings is currently 16th. In the last five matches Getafe swallowed 3 defeats and that is not at all the desired result especially later they have to play at Camp Nou which can be predicted that Barcelona will win considering the Blaugrana is in a joyous atmosphere after successfully lifting the Super Cup trophy.

~snip~

So there is no way to compare them and here it is clear that Barcelona will win and it can be predicted with great confidence. Barcelona has been known as a good team worldwide since the past.  So there is no doubt that Barcelona will easily win this match

All football fans will agree that with high confidence Barcelona will win the match against Getafe including me who bet on Barcelona's victory even though the odds given on the betting site are smaller.

There is no way a team like Barca that is eyeing the La Liga championship this season with only 3 points gap is willing to lose to a team that is in 16th place in the standings. But behind the high confidence of Xavi Hernandez's team winning, we also don't forget that in the game of football things can happen beyond our expectations.

I don't think it will be difficult for Barcelona to get 3 full points in the match against Getafe. Even though Getafe is playing at home, but their performance is still far below Barcelona, so it's likely they will play defensive football.

Logically it is weird if they won Real Madrid but can not win against Getafe. Barcelona are able to break defense of Getafe that is what I believe in. It won't be easy for Barcelona but they can do it.

One disadvantage of Barcelona is Lewandowski has not too good form recently for them. After a very impressive debut and beginning of season, it seems Lewandowski has difficult time after returning from World Cup 2022. That tournament affected his body and maybe partially because clubs in La Liga are getting more familiar with Lewandowski and already found defensive ways to constrain the striker.

[Jody.Drummer]

In the first half, Osasuna was one goal ahead of host Elche. The match was normal, nothing special, I even saw that in this match the two clubs played with all their hearts. Not many opportunities were created, they only played in the midfield area with Osasuna having more of the ball. In the second half, it looks like Osasuna should be braver to attack because Elche doesn't look like it will harm their defense in the first half. Unless Osasuna really wants to play it safe, they will definitely be more careful because they already have a 1 goal advantage. I don't see the potential in Elche's game, it looks like they will lose again.

It's not weird for a team to win a big team and lose to a relatively smaller team. It's football. It is expected of Barcelona to win Getafe and I believe they will but there's also the possibility that they may lose. It's football.

Clubs in La Liga have not found defensive ways to contain Lewandoski, he's just not in the kind of form he was before the world cup and despite that, he's still scoring and linking up well with his team. It's normal for players to go through rough patch in the season. Hopefully he regains his best form because they need him now more than ever. He won't be playing today's match so that's an opportunity for him to rest a little.

Expect Barcelona to beat Getafe. Because Barcelona was able to beat Real Madrid brilliantly a few days ago. As a result, a great self-confidence has been created among the team players.

[lizarder]

He seemed like a selfish coach before by not bringing in any players his team really needed.
We know that Real Madrid's defense hasn't been great this season, but I don't see Ancelotti really wanting to get one of those players to make up for his team's deficiencies in defence. I honestly don't understand, but I think he knows more than I do and all of us.

But you know, Villareal is a team that often causes problems when they meet Real Madrid. Luckily Real Madrid was able to comeback after losing 2-0 in the first half, but before that Real Madrid lost to the same team in La Liga. Evaluation is needed, but Ancelotti must really have good options for his defenders.

Villarreal often causes problems for top teams, not even just Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, so it's not surprising when they have packed six Europa League trophies, Ancelotti really has to really evaluate his defenders, because so far from the previous five matches, they have conceded eight goals and have lost 2, drawn 1 and won 2 in all competitions.

This is not a good achievement for Real Madrid, so if Ancelotti doesn't evaluate quickly, it will cause problems when they face their next match, especially as La Liga is increasingly competitive in the race for the title.

>Snip Have been habit from Real Madrid made comeback on every match, but I don't think is worth because last defeated from Barcelona and Villareal Real Madrid can't build perfect attacking line for scoring goals.

It will be a tough job for Ancelotti in evaluating, but to be honest I believe he has a solution to the weaknesses that his team now have, Real Madrid do have important games ahead in La Liga and the Copa Del Rey. So Ancelotti must really rack his brains in concocting a strategy, so that Real Madrid does not suffer defeat in the next match.

Osasuna leads by 1 goal. Osasuna's players are playing well, Osasuna is controlling most of the game. Hopefully Osasuna will be able to score more goals.

If I consider the final scores of the several matches that Osasuna has played, it seems that Osasuna is not too ambitious to win with a big score. So even though in this match Osasuna is playing against Elche, a team that has never won anything so far this season in La Liga, it looks like Osasuna will still be satisfied even though it only won 0-1.
Because it looks like Osasuna is also only targeting to get three points and not to win with a big score but unfortunately, when typing this Elche can make a goal and the temporary score is 1-1. With this goal, of course Osasuna will be aggressive again to get the second goal and to win this match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Barcelona will ensure victory in this match. Because currently Barcelona is doing great performance which has to be praised. They have been able to beat teams like Real Madrid in a big way. I see great potential in La Liga as well.

Barcelona which recorded a victory in El Clasico in the Spanish Super Cup and continued with a big win over Ceuta FC at CDR, wants to continue its positive trend when it comes to dealing with Getafe in the continued La Liga. Barcelona need full points to secure a top position, Xavi will take advantage of the home game to end this game with a win.

On paper Getafe is not a balanced opponent for Barcelona. Even though Barcelona cannot be supported by Lewandowski in this match due to accumulation of yellow cards, Xavi still has other options to fill Lewandowski position, which can endanger Getafe goal. It looks like Victory will belong to Barcelona in this match, apart from having the advantage of playing at home, Getafe performance in La Liga is not that great.

Getafe is a team that can generate all sorts of controversy, if it manages to do what nobody expects, which is to beat Barcelona, it would be something that would put its fans on another level, of course, we have all seen that Barcelona has improved a lot and That in turn gives Xavi a lot of oxygen, I know he hasn't had much rest and has had a lot of stress on his mind because of what has happened in his team, seeing this team concentrate for the League, and apart from being in Europe League, he sees that as a failure, because it is before he is in the UCL to be able to play the exciting matches that are coming, so I think he can no longer afford to lose, the Catalan team cannot give more facilities.

Predicted Barcelona lineup against Getafe: Fati up front; Lewandowski suspended

Barcelona will look to remain perched atop the summit of La Liga when they welcome Getafe to Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday evening. And Xavi Hernandez will be without two first-team players in his side’s latest fixture.

Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres will miss the next two La Liga games due to suspension. But Xavi has an otherwise full-strength squad this weekend. So the Barcelona manager should name a strong starting lineup on Sunday.

Today barcelona hosts getafe. while Real Madrid travel to Bilbao. Barcelona will want to get a comfortable win and at least maintain their lead. I have to say that Real madrid will face a tougher challenge on the road. It will be better for them if they can get a win from this away game.
We still haven't seen a goal in the Villareal-Girona game. There are about 8 minutes left in the match. Villareal are the better side but they haven't scored.

Barcelona against weak club, but this team often solid ondefense against big teams as Barcelona. So I don't think Getafe are a weak team because in defensively they very strong, this will be a tough match for Barcelona to beat. Regarding Real Madrid, I think you are right because Bilbao is a very tough opponent for them, this match will also live at San Mamés Barria which is the home of Bilbao.
Villarreal was a success make a goal 1-0 in extra time, and they earned three points so hard this match.

There is nothing illogical in this if we consider not individual games but a series of games. There is no such club that would give out endless winning streaks of games, even if only considering weak opponents. Sooner or later, an unexpected loss of points occurs. But this does not mean that a club that has won 9 games out of 10 is weak, you just cannot show a 100% result.

Villarreal was a success make a goal 1-0 in extra time, and they earned three points so hard this match.

Earning points in this match became very difficult for Villarreal. Villarreal's performance was not weak. They performed very well. But Villarreal's players could not score due to Girona's completely defensive play. Villarreal scored a goal in extra time 90 + 11 minutes of the match. And Villarreal scored from the penalty spot. I would say Villarreal were very lucky to secure 3 points in this match.

[Zackgeno96]

Barcelona and Real Madrid both have to play tonight. Barcelona at home against Getafe won't be too much of a problem. Real Madrid away to Athletic Bilbao can be difficult to win there easily. Still, I assume that Real Madrid will win there. Seville seems to have weathered the crisis for the most part and can look more to climb up again. The differences at the bottom are really minimal so it doesn't say much yet. There is still a lot of work to be done for Sevilla before they are allowed to play European football. A team like Sevilla that would relegate seems unthinkable.

Barcelona and Getafe will be playing against themselves on Matchday 18 of the La Liga 2022-23 season. While Barcelona are on the top spot of the La Liga points table, Getafe sit at the 15th position in the points table. In the 16 games played so far this season, Barcelona have won 13 games, have drawn 2 games, and have been on the losing end on 1 occasion. In the process, they have scored 35 goals and conceded 06 goals. Getafe, on the other hand, have played 17 games in La Liga this season and have won 4 games, drawn 5 games, and have lost 8 games. In the process, they have scored 16 goals and conceded 24 goals this season in La Liga so to me I will give the day to Barcelona in this match because they are a better side to win this game considering both their recent form and team work. This match will likely end with multiple goals.

Barcelona is currently in the best performance. A lot of differences can be noticed when comparing the previous year's performance. The young players of the team are proving themselves brilliantly. Barcelona will beat Getafe easily.

Compared to last year's performance, Barcelona is undoubtedly in a very good position. They are playing very well. But if their goal is to win the title, then their performance needs to improve. In particular, there should be consistency in performance. If there is no consistency in performance, it is not possible to win the title. Xavi continues to try to solve problems within the team.

Osasuna leads by 1 goal. Osasuna's players are playing well, and Osasuna is controlling most of the game. Hopefully, Osasuna will be able to score more goals.

From the 57th minute, I had the feeling that the match may likely end in a draw cuz it became difficult for Osasuna as Etche discovered new chances in the midfield after the substitution of Pablo Ibanez for Jon Moncayola. It would have been a good opportunity for Osasuna to take over the 6th position from real Betis but It didn't happen as they were unable to create much space and execute an attack. So bad for Elche that a draw or even a win against Osasuna wouldn't take them anywhere.

The result against cadiz will be boosting the morality of the players. Sevilla will be waking up again. It was getting some good results. Sevilla has been leaving from the relegation zone. Cadiz seems back again to the relegation zone after it has bee beaten by sevilla. A poor team like cadiz may be relegated at the end of season. No chance for cadiz to leave from the bottom place if the team didn't do good improvements. Sevilla has been dominating the match. Im not feeling doubt if cadiz was losing against sevilla at this moment. Cadiz must try to work even harder to leave from the relegation zone as soon as possible. It's in a urgent situation.

90th minute Rakitic goal from penalty was enough to give them three points and coming out of the relegation zone which was needed because now things looking worse for them, and they need to have changed in their performance now in next week they are going to have another easy match against Elche which is at the bottom of league table and not won any game in this season, but this can give full three points to Sevilla, and they could be in better zone for the sometime which will give them good confidence and boost in performance for staying positive for next games as well.

Cadiz is also having not good time and in last season they were lucky to stay in La Liga but now in this season most chances they could be relegated because their performance and quality is not competing in this level, and they are having too many defense issues as well.
