La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[alastantiger]

Sociedad got a good result in this match, but it's definitely a loss for Real Madrid as Barcelona extend their lead even further. I don't know if this one point is of much use to Sociedad, but it's definitely a very important draw against Real Madrid. There are 3 points left between Real and Sociedad, but Real have one more game that is likely to widen the gap even further.

I don't know what happens with these goalkeepers that when they face Real Madrid or Barcelona they become Buffon and Neuer prime but when they play with the other small teams in the league they don't even stop a pass. Álex Remiro is good, he makes his mistakes once a month but in the match, he surprised me, those shots that he takes from Vinicius were great. All in all, consistency is the most quality every player should possess.

[D-law]

Unfortunately Real Sociedad couldn't get a win against Real Madrid because Real Madrid's defense was difficult to penetrate and fortunately Real Sociedad didn't lose to Real Madrid because when they lose, Real Sociedad will definitely move down and out of the top three at the top of the standings.

it will not happen because if you look at the standings, it is clear that Sociedad has a point difference that secures them in the top 3 of the standings.
this draw will only benefit Barcelona, which is getting stronger at the top. and also Atletico who has the ambition to catch up on points from Sociedad and Madrid.
I think there will still be a lot of changes in the standings, especially for ranks 2 to 6 shortly.

Barcelona fans Celebrated the draw like they won the league already yesterday
But Real Madrid honestly has to make signatures
Not comfortable with Kross Modric for now
Ceballos was the only better midfielder yesterday. Camavinga is also a joy to watch

[rendravolt]

Statistically, the two teams are almost equal, but it seems that Real Sociedad's defense in this match is so strong, it can be seen from the shoots on target that Real Madrid is superior by 7 times, then the ball possession is 61%, of course, the entire match is completely controlled by Los Blancos. But in this match, what we have to appreciate is Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro, who managed to make 7 saves, as a result, until the final minute, the score was a goalless draw for the two teams. With this, Real Madrid is increasingly behind Barcelona by 5 points in the standings, a season that was quite difficult for Carlo Ancelotti and his players.

I do not fully agree with some explanations, first Real Sociedad played roughly because they were afraid of Real Madrid, so their poor challenge bagged them 4 yellow cards, none of them was excluded, the goalkeeper, the defender, the midfielder, and the winger all received a Yellow card in that match and if not for Remiro's efforts for his countless saves, Real Sociedad would have conceded at least 2 goals yesterday.

I'm not so happy with the gap Barcelona has given Real Madrid, if they flip through, it might become a problem to overcome, they have lost a game out of their last 5 matches that could have helped them as a catalyst to get to Barcelona and now another mistake from Ancelotti for thinking their last formation against Atletico Madrid will work against Sociedad but ended up as a draw, they need to do better.

Indeed, there were a lot of fouls committed by Sociedad players, a total of 19 and some Sociedad players also received yellow cards as a result. It is undeniable that Sociedad wanted at least to hold Real Madrid to a draw instead of having to accept defeat, so they did everything they could to stop Los Blancos players.

It seems that Carlo Ancelotti is already confused about how to set up a better and more efficient formation because he always sticks with the same 4-3-3 formation in every match and now this formation can be read by his opponents in La Liga this season, so it's no wonder that Sociedad was able to hold on to a draw. For Barcelona, they keep going with certainty and there is no doubt in every game that keeps them getting 3 points and the distance to the Barcelona standings this season will be difficult to catch if Real Madrid can't change their pattern of play.

Real Betis match will be difficult, no doubt about it.  I can say that they achieved their goal because they got 3 points in the Girona match.  Moreover, if we consider that Real Madrid lost 2 points, 1-0 gains great meaning for Barcelona.  The Betis match has become more important than ever because they absolutely have to win that match to keep the point gap with Real Madrid at least stable.  La Liga continues with excitement as always.

because barcelona is in the top position, Barcelona will definitely not waste the opportunity to get an additional 4 points later against Real Betis

a few weeks ago in the super copa semifinals, real betis was able to hold barcelona to a draw even though barcelona ended with a victory in the penalty round, That draw shows that Betis is not a team that will be easily beaten by Barcelona

Indeed, there were a lot of fouls committed by Sociedad players, a total of 19 and some Sociedad players also received yellow cards as a result. It is undeniable that Sociedad wanted at least to hold Real Madrid to a draw instead of having to accept defeat, so they did everything they could to stop Los Blancos players.

1 point is much more meaningful than losing, of course that's because Real Sociedad wants to maintain its position in 3rd place in the La Liga standings this season.
That is, if you can't beat the bigger teams, then try to defend well and try to end the match with draw. That is the strategy that Imanol Alguacil when forcing Real Madrid to 0-0 draw at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

For Barcelona, they keep going with certainty and there is no doubt in every game that keeps them getting 3 points and the distance to the Barcelona standings this season will be difficult to catch if Real Madrid can't change their pattern of play.

Now Barcelona is 5 points ahead of Real Madrid, and this is really good distance for Barcelona to continue to maintain.
Barcelona will next visit the Benito Villamarín Stadium (home of Real Betis) in their 19th match of this season. And there Barcelona is expected to succeed in bringing home 3 points to secure its position at the top of La Liga.

Real madrid team failed to win yesterday at home against Real sociedad and now they let barcelona get 5 points ahead of them i think at this point barcelona will likely win laliga real madrid team is wasting a lot of points and that will comeback to bite them, now their only chance is to beat barcelona when they face each other and wait for them to lose some points and catch up but i don't think that will happen.

[ginsan]

This 1 point is very important for Real Sociedad because Real Madrid is ahead of them in the league.  Had they lost 3 points, there would have been a difference of 6 points between them and the 3 points Real would have won.  At least with this result, the difference in points between them remained the same.  If you can't win, you won't lose.  Real Sociedad has achieved this.  Barcelona was most pleased with this draw.

However, one of the factors that Real Madrid lost 3 points in this match made the point difference even further from Barcelona, ​​namely 5 points. In this match, the two teams appeared quite solid, however, Real Madrid, who were highly favored in this match, were unable to do much even though they were able to dominate the match.

On the other hand, Barcelona is happy with the point difference that is getting farther from its eternal rival in Laliga, but Xavi believes that his team will not be happy with the point difference which is now 5. According to him, there are still many games to focus on this season.

[Pulsar77]

I believe the goalkeeper Remiro was man of the match. Because he made quite a few critical saves especially against Vinicius Junior. If Real Madrid were able to score a goal and get ahead then I'm pretty sure Real Sociedad would have been affected really badly. Breaking the deadlock would have made things easier for Real Madrid to finish up the match with a win. Real Sociedad couldn't do the same to Barcelona maybe but they were really successful against Real Madrid. It isn't easy to resist Real Madrid domination in Santigo Bernabeu.

By the way Sorloth also could have scored a goal in the first minutes already and this would have been a shocker for Real Madrid. But he missed the ball by inches. They still got what they wanted of course.

Real madrid team failed to win yesterday at home against Real sociedad and now they let barcelona get 5 points ahead of them i think at this point barcelona will likely win laliga real madrid team is wasting a lot of points and that will comeback to bite them, now their only chance is to beat barcelona when they face each other and wait for them to lose some points and catch up but i don't think that will happen.

If Real Madrid's game doesn't develop, I don't think Laliga will win this season. With a difference of 5 points from Barcelona it looks like this is far behind.
The game against Real Sociedad actually Real Madrid played very well. Moreover, when it comes to dribbling and speed, there is no doubt that Real Madrid is a forward player. But when it comes to finishing, Vini is still not perfect. There are many opportunities for Madrid, but no goals are created.

Actually, it's still too early to say for sure. The gap of 5 points can be closed very easily. there is still 1 hand of classico to play.  In addition, exhausting Manchester United matches await Barcelona. After these matches, we can see the decreased performance of the players in the league. In this case, they can lose points. But it is certain that if Real Madrid want the championship, they should never lose points from now on. If they lose points, there may be no going back. Losing a title to Barcelona would be the last thing Real Madrid want.

I agree that it's still too early to say all that, but Real Madrid did not do well in their matches, that's what allows Barcelona to widen the point difference from Real Madrid. This is an advantage that Barcelona will definitely take advantage of as much as possible, they will definitely try hard so that the point difference they have now does not change and they will even try to widen it again, although this depends on Real Madrid itself.

This 1 point is very important for Real Sociedad because Real Madrid is ahead of them in the league.  Had they lost 3 points, there would have been a difference of 6 points between them and the 3 points Real would have won.  At least with this result, the difference in points between them remained the same.  If you can't win, you won't lose.  Real Sociedad has achieved this.  Barcelona was most pleased with this draw.

a draw as I expected, but a goalless finish, that's not what I expected. I thought it would be a draw but with 1 or 2 goals for both.
However, Madrid's dominance in the game cannot make Sociedad just give up. although under pressure they also look very tough on their defense.
Madrid with their best squad, with a scary front line. but Sociedad was able to hold off 20 shots from Madrid.

Sociedad has a strong squad, so does Real Madrid.  I was also surprised that such a match ended in a goalless draw.  I think Real Madrid and Sociedad could have scored 1 each and the match could have ended 1-1.  Even though Real Madrid were too loaded for the goal, they couldn't get past the strong Sociedad defense.  In the end, we had to watch a goalless match while both teams got 1 point.

Real have problems transferring their opportunity into goals. They need to improve that aspect as soon as possible in order to race with Barcelona. The current gap is now 5 points. It is not a hopeless situation because there are many matches before the end of the season. Shout out for Sociedad for securing 1 point. The deserve the third spot in the league

[hahay]

I can say Real Sociedad is enough to help Barcelona to continue to go further, because with Real Sociedad's success in holding Real Madrid to a draw, the point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is now five points. But I don't think this result is a surprise either because in reality, Real Sociedad has held Real Madrid to draws quite often in previous seasons as well.

So because at this moment Real Madrid was also not too perfect to win and moreover, Real Sociedad, who at this moment was in good form. So naturally, Real Sociedad could hold Real Madrid to a draw even though this match was played at the Santiago Bernabéu.

[Balmain]

There were a lot of shots going out, there were a lot of saves in the goalkeeper Remoron.
It was almost too many extra saves that blocked all Vinicius Júnior's goals. Vinicius can bring the game to the goal position with many different levels of dribbling, running and dribbling, but he can't finish the game well.
This match was so good for Barcelona that the two closest rivals lost points to each other even though they did nothing.

After all, the draw kept Ancelotti calm and asked everyone not to panic. Instead, he hopes to rise in the next round, Madrid to face Valencia at home. According to Ancelotti if the win over Valencia will provide a positive value

[Doell]

-snip-

Agree with what you say, because regardless of anything, Alex Remiro's performance in this match was indeed very good. Some of the saves that he made were indeed very good in this match which made Madrid quite frustrated it seems because of the good line of defense and the good performance of this goalkeeper.
In fact, before they faced Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, they were just as good, it's just that Barcelona's luck with a red card could make this a different victory than Madrid in this match.

But if there is, a lot of chances for Benzema in that match maybe Real Madrid could have scored, unfortunately he was very tight guarded to him, Real Sociedad has always been wary of Real Madrid best that striker. At least this match Real Madrid didn't lose points because sociedad counterattack in the match was also very dangerous.
Yes Real Sociedad is indeed very good in defending, Barcelona was also only able to get one goal, even then with 10 Sociedad players in the, this proves the quality of this team in defense is really great. I'll wouldn't be surprised if this team will be able to secure a UCL ticket until the end of this season, they are getting better.

[Zackgeno96]

Still disappointing for Real Madrid that they couldn't have the home game yesterday. Barcelona has secretly run out quite a few points and is now 5 points ahead. The competition is still long, and the mutual match in Nou Camp still has to be played. Real Madrid had a lot of opportunities to win the game, but all chances were wasted. It looks very good for Barcelona, who are giving away almost nothing at the back. It is almost a record how many times Barcelona have been able to keep 0 in their games this season. It's just a pity that they score so few goals up front. But this could be Xavi's way of playing and strategy.

Laliga has only ended the first round with Barcelona topping with only 5 points which is not enough to secure the title. Madrid having a draw with the third team on standing shows they have potential to still race with Barcelona for the title. If i should show my fear for any team at the moment it should be for Barcelona because since they returned from the WC break it has been just 1 goal narrow victory they have been having and now Dembele is on injury what will be their fate?

[BITCOIN4X]

I can say Real Sociedad is enough to help Barcelona to continue to go further, because with Real Sociedad's success in holding Real Madrid to a draw, the point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is now five points. But I don't think this result is a surprise either because in reality, Real Sociedad has held Real Madrid to draws quite often in previous seasons as well.

So because at this moment Real Madrid was also not too perfect to win and moreover, Real Sociedad, who at this moment was in good form. So naturally, Real Sociedad could hold Real Madrid to a draw even though this match was played at the Santiago Bernabéu.

I don't think Barcelona really expected Sociedad to help them secure the top of the table by holding Real Madrid to draw. Sociedad should have done it for himself instead of thinking about Barcelona, ​​the reason is clear because Sociedad is in the Champions League zone at the moment. It's true that draw in Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad has indirectly made Barcelona stronger at the top of the table, but Sociedad didn't do it for Barcelona.

I also don't think Barcelona is safe by being 5 points ahead of Real Madrid, that's definitely not high amount not to be cut by Real Madrid. But it's true, Barcelona is currently on good winning trend in La Liga.

[Mustang Shelby]

Sociedad got a good result in this match, but it's definitely a loss for Real Madrid as Barcelona extend their lead even further. I don't know if this one point is of much use to Sociedad, but it's definitely a very important draw against Real Madrid. There are 3 points left between Real and Sociedad, but Real have one more game that is likely to widen the gap even further.

I don't know what happens with these goalkeepers that when they face Real Madrid or Barcelona they become Buffon and Neuer prime but when they play with the other small teams in the league they don't even stop a pass. Álex Remiro is good, he makes his mistakes once a month but in the match, he surprised me, those shots that he takes from Vinicius were great. All in all, consistency is the most quality every player should possess.

Goalkeeping has always been one of the most difficult positions.  One day of yours may not quite keep the other day.  You can play great games on your good day, but on your bad day the situation can get worse.  Even the smallest mistake can cause your team to lose the match.  That's why goalkeepers are very important.  Since all eyes are on the goalkeepers in the matches played against Madrid and Barça, they are trying to play their best matches.
