La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rendravolt]

Almeria will play a home match today against espanyol, both teams aim to get the 3 points to escape from the relegation zone as they are not very far from it, almeria will have the home advantage and will try hard to get the 3 points while espanyol will try to get at least one point from this match

You could say the two teams will play it out in this match to secure 3 points and at least be able to lift their position to keep away from the relegation zone. However, in head to head, Espanyol still has the advantage and it is not uncommon for these two teams to end in a draw. But according to my prediction this match will fully belong to Espanyol with a score of 2-1.

[Dickiy]

but it seems as the host will indeed make Almeria play better. and I also forgot that when playing as the host it turned out that Almeria was also able to hold Atletico Madrid to a draw. So even though Espanyol will indeed excel in this match, the result of the match could indeed end in a draw. and it seems true that this match will be difficult to predict. But it looks like I've decided to keep betting on an Espanyol win.

Even so, it is true that Almeria should be considered for its game on the field, especially now that they are the hosts against Espanyol, who have indeed been playing quite well lately.

Previously I was very confused about where to bet, but when I saw the betting table for the match between Almeria and Espanyol, I was very interested in betting on Espanyol this time, because I got 3.20, whereas when I chose Almeria I only got 2.41.

Maybe today I will bet not too big to take advantage of this match and really gamble without paying attention to the strength of the team when they host.

[lizarder]

The closest match in Laliga is the match Almeria vs Espanyol. Historically, we know that Almeria has never won in the last few meetings against Espanyol. And this season it seems that Almeria is not showing consistent performance. Having experienced 9 defeats this season, it is unlikely that Almeria will be favored in this match. However, as the host, Almeria will certainly play to the fullest. and of course Almeria still has a chance to win in this fight.

It is difficult to make predictions for the bottom team, because it is often surprising when playing with a team of the same quality, Espanyol is currently one point ahead of Almeria who is ranked 14th in the standings, Espanyol has a capital of two wins and one defeat. Meanwhile, Almeria got two draws and one defeat in its last three matches. Based on the results of the previous three matches Espanyol's chances are very big according to my predictions.

The other two matches will bring Cadiz vs Mallorca and Girona vs Barcelona in La Liga, the match will be more interesting between Girona vs Barcelona, I will choose Mallorca and Barcelona who come out victorious, moreover Xavi needs points to get further away from Real Madrid.

Snip.

The victory in extremis was a relief for Real Madrid, who are in the spotlight after doubts have arisen about its management and performance. Too bad for Atlético: they tried to do their best during the match and were exhausted at the end. I guess that they didn't expect such a comeback in the last moment, but this is not the first time we've seen something like this, so we can debate whether it was the best strategy for them or not.

The goal scored by Rodrygo in the 79th minute made the score 1-1 which forced Atletico to continue the match into extra time. Atletico were really unlucky in this game, after failing to maintain their advantage, they had to play with 10 players after Stefan Savic received a red card in the 99th minute.
As a result of losing the number of players, Atletico had to concede two goals in extra time through Benzema and Vinicius which made the score turn 3-1 up for Real Madrid victory.

The defeat to Real Madrid in the Copa Del Rey meant that Atletico had to end this season without a trophy because they had previously been knocked out of the Champions League and had difficulty catching a point deficit from Barcelona. This defeat also extended Atletico record defeat to Real Madrid, Atletico must be consistent in La Liga to secure a place in the top four positions to go to the Champions League next season.

Karim Benzema scored against Athletic at San Mamés and moved level with Raúl as Real Madrid’s second-top goal scorer in LaLiga. The Frenchman, who scored the opening goal with a wonderful left-footed volley, has now netted 228 goals in the competition to equal Raúl’s tally between 1994 and 2010. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (312) is ahead of the Frenchman now.
https://www.realmadrid.com/en/news/2023/01/22/benzemas-superb-volley-to-draw-level-with-rauls-228-league-goals/amp

Benzema caught Raul's record after scoring a goal against Bilbao last week. He is the second most goalscorer in Real Madrid history, along with Raul. He set a tremendous record. He remained in Ronaldo's shadow for years. But now he has made himself accepted by everyone in Real Madrid. He will score one more goal only and become the second top scorer in the history of Real Madrid. I'm sure he can definitely do that.

~
If he can maintain his current condition for another 1 or 2 seasons, I believe he will probably reach the goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. Because seeing his current condition he can still be relied on in Real Madrid's games, unless Real Madrid doesn't want to continue his collaboration.

Even though Karim Benzema is still quite confident about his various achievements, age has become a challenge for him to stay at Real Madrid with the various leading competitions that Real Madrid has undertaken. Even though he brought changes after Ronaldo's departure, at his current age he is vulnerable to running out of stamina.

Real Madrid will start preparing to look for new talent

But according to my prediction this match will fully belong to Espanyol with a score of 2-1.

Espanyol are in better form than Almeria. Espanyol are unbeaten in their last four matches. And managed to win the last two matches. Their performance is now somewhat stable and the players are in form. And the important thing is that Espanyol's players are very confident now. And so Espanyol's win against Almeria seems more likely to me. I will bet on Espanyol to win today.

I don’t think that this is some kind of special tactic - it’s just that Real Madrid has the will to win and they play to the end. It seems to me that none of the teams wants to postpone the denouement of the match until the last minute. Real Madrid often succeed in the final minutes because many teams can't handle the pressure of Real Madrid for the entire match. We can say that there is an analogy with boxing and "champion rounds".

Madrid is an extraordinary team, in the several matches that have occurred, they have always won when the match was almost over. Atletico Madrid led 1-0 at half-time but at the end, everything changed, Benzema, Vini, and Rodrygo were brilliant players.

King of comeback. that's real madrid. It has proven once its opponent was making a mistake and that will make the opponent faces its lose against madrid. The situation has changed when madrid was able making goal at the second half. Atletico madrid has been performing so well but red card was changing everything. I think that the player that got red card must be blamed caused by he was making a big mistake against madrid at the additional time.
That's his biggest mistake that was giving madrid chance to comeback

Real Madrid have returned to form brilliantly. Rodrigo's goal is truly amazing. Real Madrid have some youngsters who will become very good players one day. Currently, they are leading the Real Madrid team brilliantly.

[rahmad2nd]

Espanyol are in better form than Almeria. Espanyol are unbeaten in their last four matches. And managed to win the last two matches. Their performance is now somewhat stable and the players are in form. And the important thing is that Espanyol's players are very confident now. And so Espanyol's win against Almeria seems more likely to me. I will bet on Espanyol to win today.

Entering week 19 of La Liga, Almeria will host Espanyol at the Stadium de los Juegos Mediterraneos today. from their last five matches in all competitions, Almeria has had unsatisfactory results by getting three draws, one defeat and one win. while Espanyol got three wins, one loss and one draw. even so, Almeria is favored to win considering they are playing at home.

In the La Liga standings, these two teams are only one point apart. Espanyol, is one rank above Almeria. at least, this fight will be tough considering that the two teams are not the top teams. if we refer to the H2H history of five matches in all competitions from the meeting of these two teams. Espanyol, always dominate the victory over Almeria.

IMO, although Almeria is in a bad performance situation. however, Espanyol is not a very tough opponent. that way, Almeria must take advantage of the momentum of playing at home by gaining full points in this match.

[emrecemsan]

After making a great comeback and win Real Madrid will be playing their match against Real Sociedad with even a boosted morale. Real Sociedad's form is of course really impressive. They have been on a lasting winning streak and this improves their self-confidence more and more in time. But we still shouldn't overlook an important point here. We all watched how weak Real Sociedad were against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey match. Barcelona completely dominated the match despite the score's being 1-0 at the end.

This is a clear proof that Real Sociedad still need to go a long way to be able to compete with teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid at the same level. I expect a similar superiority by Real Madrid and a decent win.

[hahay]

The match between Almeria v Espanyol looks like I will choose Espanyol to win, because after the World Cup break Espanyol is unbeaten for matches in La Liga. In fact, Espanyol can also hold Barcelona to a draw, which in fact Barcelona this season is very good in La Liga.

But for some reason the odds are in the range of 2.38 : 3.20, even though the comparison is quite close but Espanyol is not projected to win. Also, even though this is a match for the team in positions 13 and 14, I think this match will still be interesting to look forward to and to try our luck by betting.

However, as the host, Almeria will certainly play to the fullest. and of course Almeria still has a chance to win in this fight.

I think in the match between Almeria and Espanyol it is difficult to predict the team that will win the game because the performance of both team has not been impressive and the two teams are separated by one points in the League standing as they occupy 13th and 14th place in the table. For Almeria which is the home team, I think they will find it difficult to win at home going with their history with Espanyol but they may likely return to winning streak at their home ground tonight but that will be if they perform better than the away team which appear to be the stronger opponent than them but a draw won't be bad for the hist because the odd of 2.44 against 3:15 is not going to be an easy win.

The last sentence is interesting (not directly related to the match we are talking about, but still). It must be hard for such a big team to find the balance between quarry for the future and top performance in the present. I agree that they Real Madrid has some merit in doing so, although their finances are better than Barça's, for example, and this fact helps for sure.

[Distraction]

Atletico Madrid will need to focus on the La Liga only from now on. It is a very poor season for them as they are out of the Champions League and Copa del Rey both already. In the La Liga also things aren't going well for them obviously. They aren't even close to the front row for a title race. Atletico Madrid have lost a lot of their strength. There is no such team that can fight with Barcelona and Real Madrid at a similar level. This is a sign for Simeone to leave the team after a long time of working here also.

Yeah I really think he should leave the team before being sacked by the team. It is the best for both sides. In this way Atletico Madrid can find a better fitting coach to reach the level they deserve with this squad.

[Ryu_Ar1]

The match is entering a crucial time now and this can be a decider because sometimes Madrid always go all out when they are in the last 10 minutes even though it will be a little difficult because Atletico with their defensive scheme are still quite disciplined so far.
Many chances were wasted for Madrid and I tried to see what Ancelotti did from the start of the match which I think was a little wrong when playing a player who couldn't be in his position.
Even though in this case Modric and Kroos played, but when placing Modric on the side that was actually not his post, this slightly hampered the flow of the ball.

After you wrote this, the goal was immediately created for Real Madrid
They are really in a strong dominance in the middle of Atletico's defense which is always a little troublesome but they are able to overcome it.
The substitutions of several players were quite effective and Rodrygo became the opener for Atletico's disaster. Now they are playing with 10 players and they have to be left behind by 1 goal. This is clearly difficult, especially with the condition that they always carry out defensive schemes and counterattack.

Well, the truth seems to me that here Real Madrid showed what they are made of, because now with everything they went through in this match, Rodrygio, Benzeema and Vini Jr. stood out for me, they are key players at Real Madrid, really These players make the difference and I see that hjoy had another vision, I can't deny that Morata's goal was excellent, I don't know how Cholo will handle things but they have to do something urgent to solve these things and these types of problems, the Atlético has a very good team, but I think they have to sweat the shirt more, perhaps the cholo's strategy is not giving him adequate results.

After they won 1 goal, they focused more on defense, which is actually quite good, but it's still very far from being good, even though for 90 minutes they were very disciplined in this match.
As for when it comes to Morata's goals I prefer the collaboration of Correa and Koke for their sweet crosses but Rodrygo's solo run goal is no less beautiful for Madrid. It was a brilliant goal past 4 defenders from Atletico.
Vini and Benzema became other actors in this match. Benzema's shot from a very tight angle and another solo run from Vini left Atletico devastated.

[indah rezqi]

Morata put Atletico ahead, in the old days I would say that Real could be in trouble if Atletico had the same good defense as they used to. But now we can wait a bit and bet Real +1, or Real will score. It will be necessary to look at which event will have better odds. Atletico took the lead a little unexpectedly, but Real Madrid has been missing a lot lately, I think that Real Madrid won’t give up so easily, all the struggle is still ahead.

In the end Real Madrid managed to qualify for the semi-finals despite some protests by Atletico Madrid players during the match. I saw both teams trying to win the match, but of course this match was in favor of Real Madrid because at the crucial moment Atletico Madrid had to lose player because of red card. I don't think it was bad foul worthy of red card, but the referee seems to know more about how to make decision even if it could change the game.

After the match, Diego Simeone criticized the referee for his leadership during the match. Diego Simeone considered that Real Madrid should have received red card when Morata was fouled, but Real Madrid escaped. I don't know who to justify, but derby match are often hot.

Karim Benzema scored against Athletic at San Mamés and moved level with Raúl as Real Madrid’s second-top goal scorer in LaLiga. The Frenchman, who scored the opening goal with a wonderful left-footed volley, has now netted 228 goals in the competition to equal Raúl’s tally between 1994 and 2010. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (312) is ahead of the Frenchman now.

Benzema caught Raul's record after scoring a goal against Bilbao last week. He is the second most goalscorer in Real Madrid history, along with Raul. He set a tremendous record. He remained in Ronaldo's shadow for years. But now he has made himself accepted by everyone in Real Madrid. He will score one more goal only and become the second top scorer in the history of Real Madrid. I'm sure he can definitely do that.

If he can maintain his current condition for another 1 or 2 seasons, I believe he will probably reach the goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. Because seeing his current condition he can still be relied on in Real Madrid's games, unless Real Madrid doesn't want to continue his collaboration.

Even though Karim Benzema is still quite confident about his various achievements, age has become a challenge for him to stay at Real Madrid with the various leading competitions that Real Madrid has undertaken. Even though he brought changes after Ronaldo's departure, at his current age he is vulnerable to running out of stamina.

Real Madrid will start preparing to look for new talent

From the previous 2 seasons things like this have continued to be discussed but until now Benzema is still the choice.
Age can indeed be a barrier but until now Ancelloti still believes in Benzema like him. at least until the start of next season because until now there has been no sign of Madrid bringing in a striker so far, especially with some rumors now that they are only looking for a midfielder.

Nobody should resign I think because even now Atletico is back in the top four. Even though it is still very vulnerable to being overtaken by the teams below it, but with Diego Simeone still able to provide good results for Atletico, Atletico are still doing well.
Unless Atletico are bottom of La Liga as Sevilla have previously, then Diego Simeone will probably resign or be sacked.
But so far in my opinion Atletico are still doing well, so let Diego Simeone coach Atletico until the end of his contract and it will be better for Diego Simeone and for Atletico too.

Yes, Atletico Madrid should now be back in shape and performing better than before but we cannot forget that 18 weeks passed so far and it's more than half season which is a lot and Atletico Madrid got only 31 points from all these 18 games which are not bad but if you compare the situation of Atletico Madrid which other similar teams on the top of the table you can understand that Barcelona got 44 points and the played one game less than Atletico Madrid which can make it hard for Diego Simeone to take them this season.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have a lot of potential in La Liga. Because these two teams are performing very poorly. Barcelona are currently in their best form. Whichever of these two teams is expected to win the La Liga title.
