La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Zlantann]

The problem is Real Madrid itself is experiencing a phase of difficulty in scoring goals, that's what they are worried about now. Valencia is not a very tough opponent for Real Madrid, but if they implement a good defense it will create bigger problems for Carlo Ancelotti's squad. However, I hope it will be a win for Real Madrid, no matter how many goals they score, so as not to let Barcelona move comfortably at the top of the table.

Valencia is really going through a lot of problems this season. The club have not been the same since the departure of coach Unai Emery. The management just sacked Gennaro Gattuso for a very poor performance this season. The club ended last season in ninth position and the management was expecting a better performance this season. But this expectation seems impossible because they are currently in 14th position, just winning five matches after playing eighteen games. I think Valencia might not find this match easy against Real Madrid. But it is possible that coach Voro Gonzalez might want to prove a point with this game. Real Madrid attack have not been at it best and it has been having some defensive blunders recently. But I wish Valencia would win the match just to give its fans a game to celebrate.

It seems like Barcelona's winning streak is likely to reach five games. Because their next competitor is Sevilla and the game is going to be played in Camp Nou.

Above all else, I would like to indicate that Sevilla have made a really good improvement in their recent results. Three of their last five games ended by wins for Sevilla. They are trying to get far away from the relegation area as much as possible you know. But I still don't think their performance level has reached the level at which they can compete with Barcelona equally. Barcelona are very highly dominant in this game already and I will be waiting for a comfortable win by them. Sevilla still need to improve their game much more.

You are right. I am also quite sure that Real Madrid will be able to win in this fight. Valencia and Real Madrid's last meeting was in the semi-finals of the Supercopa de España. at that time Real Madrid could indeed be held to a draw by Valencia and ended in a penalty shootout. and historically we can see that in the last 5 meetings Valencia have only won 1 time at Laliga in 2020. and the rest in the last 4 meetings it was Real Madrid who continued to win matches. although the last time Real Madrid only won on penalties in the Semi-finals of the Supercopa de España.

Real Madrid are playing at home, and that's the reason why they have to win. I don't want to talk about the quality of the players because everyone knows that Real Madrid is team that has above average players, and that is proportional to their performance. After all, Real Madrid is also aware that if they lose or draw, then Barcelona will be safer at the top of the standings.

Speaking of probabilities, I don't think Real Madrid will have any doubts about their positive result at the Santiago Bernabéu. But Real Madrid has drawn 3 draws at home this season in their last 8 matches. It's honest that Real Madrid won't have too many problems from Valencia today, and I'm sure about that.

Real Madrid had no defensive blunders in the last few matches rather those quality senior player's are not getting any younger which is the performance and working abilities would e possibly reduced and that's what has been happening.
Why glorify Unai Emery, hasn't he been poor also before leaving the club for Aston Villa. Gennaro Gatuso hasn't been a quality coach he has to go back and learn. The new coach should perform well because the they have known how the club was laid down.

Real Madrid against Valencia remains a special match despite the situation of both teams. Don't forget that Valencia managed to force Real Madrid on a draw in the Super Cup few weeks ago. Actually, both teams are in need of a win whereas Valencia is close to the bottom ranks, while Real Madrid don't want to widen the difference with Barcelona. Therefore, I expect both teams to score in this match.

[zuzie]

Not long ago, Valencia was recorded as have managed to draw against Real Madrid in 2x45 minutes in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup. Today the two teams will meet again in the Laliga match

I decided to bet on the Both Teams to Score (YES) market, the offer was not bad @1.91
Barcelona, who first appeared against Betis, managed to win 2-1

[rby]

Real Madrid really need a win against Valencia because Barcelona beat Betis yesterday and are 3 points further away from Real. But I think Valencia, who are at the bottom of the standings, will not be a difficult task for Real Madrid and they can get closer to Barcelona. Valencia are playing very poorly and losing even to weaker teams. Real Madrid are no match for them.

You are right. I am also quite sure that Real Madrid will be able to win in this fight. Valencia and Real Madrid's last meeting was in the semi-finals of the Supercopa de España. at that time Real Madrid could indeed be held to a draw by Valencia and ended in a penalty shootout. and historically we can see that in the last 5 meetings Valencia have only won 1 time at Laliga in 2020. and the rest in the last 4 meetings it was Real Madrid who continued to win matches. although the last time Real Madrid only won on penalties in the Semi-finals of the Supercopa de España.

Valencia don't seem to be a threat to Real Madrid. As of last 4 to 5 seasons, Valencia used to be a big name in the Spanish Laliga but the standard of the club has dropped so much. In thier last 5 outings, they lost 3, drew 1 and won 1 which is not a good result for them. They will not be able to match the force of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid in my opinion, is sure to win this game that’s starting in a few hours from now. They would be hungry for the goals and a win and would go for it with all they’ve got. They’ve got a reason to win irrespective of if they’re playing at home or not.

They’re well aware of Barcelona ahead of them sitting at the top of the league and they desperately need a win to catch up with Barcelona.
I think Real Madrid would win the game though would find it a bit difficult to win as Valencia would also want to either get the three points or to hold Madrid to a draw.

On paper, Real Madrid should win easily today. Valencia have 4 defeats in the last 6 games and in general they look weak being one point away from the relegation zone. I don’t know why bookmakers are so generous and give such quotes for today’s game:

1.37 - 5.10 - 8.80

+37% in a game where Real will play without the right to make a mistake (it can't let Barcelona go too far) looks attractive.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Valencia are far from their optimal condition right now and that could help Real Madrid beat them. But even if Valencia has problems with paying the players' salaries, I doubt that it will have a big impact on the players, first of all, it's professionals who will do best their job.

I am not so sure about that. It is one more drop that adds to the bad results, the departure of the coach, the fact that Valencia has not been able to get back on its feet for many years... I don't think it's going to encourage them, although they're going to get paid, I don't doubt it.

In recent years he has lost strength I must say, today the only one who is putting Real Madrid under pressure is Barcelona
he stands behind them, breathing down their necks and this does nothing but make the Real Madrid champions nervous, they were used to playing La Liga in peace and now they find themselves facing a real opponent, they have to get used to it again and reallocate resources

Apart from playing at home, Real Madrid also needs a win in that match, because they are currently eight points behind Barcelona, who have played one game earlier. Ancelotti also played his best squad against Valencia, realizing that dropping points would close any chance of fighting for the La Liga title this season, so this match will be considered important to achieve maximum results and even a draw will be very detrimental to Real Madrid.

Valencia's record from the previous three matches was also unfavorable for visiting the Santiago Bernabeu, having suffered two defeats and a draw, so that on paper Real Madrid has a much greater chance of winning.

There was nothing special about this game because Real Madrid should have won it easily.
Real Madrid must spur more of the performance of its players so as not to lose points in every match. Barcelona is now 8 points ahead of Real Madrid, which made them manage to get 50 points in the first half of this season. So there is no reason to lose especially because Valencia is not very difficult opponent for Real Madrid.

I don't think Valencia, Mallorca, Elche and Osasuna are strong teams for Real Madrid during their February schedule. So Real Madrid shouldn't have any problem getting all those points in the end. Only Atletico Madrid might cause problems, but Atletico Madrid is also unstable so far. So I can say that Real Madrid will lock in 3 points today at home even though they only won 1 point in the previous match.

I think you might be a little bit mistaken here. Unai Emery left Villarreal for Aston Villa and not Valencia.

This might be easy to say but with Real Madrid having Champions league in between some of these game, I see Ancelotti probably looking at rotating his squad to be Able to cope with the fixtures. Madrid second eleven should also be capable of winning this matches but the cohesion can affect them.

The game against Valencia will be easy on paper but considering Madrid last matches, Valencia might want to pull off surprises. But i will also predict a win for Madrid but won’t be an easy win probably a goal goal game

Having financial problems, especially being constrained in paying players, of course this case will have a negative impact on team performance. Unless Valencia has players who really love the club and/or have high loyalty, then they will still play well even though they are having problems with salaries.
It would be a shame if Valencia had financial problems because Valencia is not a team as big as Barcelona, so it would be difficult for Valencia to overcome this problem.

Unai Emery did so well with Valencia and have made an impression that will be easy to forget in a long time. This season has been so tough for Valencia, the club is facing a tough phase, they struggle week after week to stay consistent and give good results. As if finishing in 9th position last season wasn't bad enough they are currently sitting at 14th position this season just three positions away from relegation zone. Something needs to be done to save the season and prevent Valencia from getting relegated this season let's just hope Gonzalez can step up and be that man Valencia have been looking for to change the situation.

[Altryist]

 As I understand, Valencia will formally play today without a head coach, Voro will be acting. It's very important for Real to win today, and Valencia are not doing very well right now, so it seems like the game shouldn't be difficult for Real. But if you recall the recent game in the Super Cup, then the match ended in a draw in regular time, and only in the penalty Real manage to beat Valencia. I think Real Madrid should win today, Barcelona should not be allowed to increase their advantage if they expect to compete for the title.

[Zackgeno96]

An important game for Real Madrid tonight, at home against Valencia. They are not doing well, but we can perhaps say the same about Real Madrid. The deficit to Barcelona is already 5 points, if they don't win this match and Barcelona do, you already have a gap of 7 points. Then it becomes a difficult story. Especially the Classico between Barcelona and Real Madrid this season in Noucamp will probably be decisive. I assume that at that moment Barcelona is still first in the league. Valencia may not be the team of years ago, but they are capable of a good result against Madrid.

[BIT-BENDER]

Barcelona are sitting in first position and they have earned 50 point so far out of a possible 57 point in the league and Real Madrid is at second with 42 point and would be playing today.

Pressure falls on Real Madrid who feels they did not have any need to make signs this January transfer window to strengthen the team, I think Real Madrid would play out a draw today.

This makes me remember the good old days - when Barcelona kept at the top and real Madrid followed behind simultaneously - you seee, I began to notice the change in form, game play, value and presentation as Barcelona would be begging for a draw win against Madrid even after being topped with several points.
Alot of pressure today as we can all relate,... cus they really need to claim today's match point as real sociedad will only need to win a match or two to topple them over the second position,lets see how it goes ...
