La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ryu_Ar1]

Kick off Barcelona and Seville have started.
Barcelona's chance is now big enough to add points, especially with Madrid's slightly disappointing condition, it is clear they have the opportunity to widen the distance with Madrid to 8 points.
Judging from the scheme they are running, it seems that Xavi still intends to get 3 points in this match.
Xavi is still exploring Gavi's position change but it is interesting for De Jong and Pedri who are now swapping positions.

I have such high expectations from this game. I won't lie; I am with Barcelona on this. If they win, it will make Madrid look bad, and I really want them to win and move higher up on the table. I see Xavi's strategy coming in this game, and I trust his judgment and hope that it favors him. So far, the game has just started, and we are still seeing how things go. I believe the three points are already in the bag.

Being in Barcelona is indeed the right decision in this case, on the other hand this is an easy bet indeed because seeing in any case Barcelona is superior from all aspects in this match.
A big enough score happened and this is clearly very good for Barcelona. With this result their gap is much bigger than before and they are quite comfortable in the top position now.
But on the other hand now maybe their schedule will be more packed, Xavi has to make some adjustments now so that the players are not overly portioned because they still have several competitions to follow.

Apparently, we can already say that Barcelona is 8 points ahead of Real, just a few minutes to the end of the match and it is unlikely that Sevilla will be able to score three goals, probably a miracle should happen... It's amazing that Xavi was able to build a team where replacing one player with another does not change the result, it reminds me something of the tactics of the Spartans

xavi risked everything to revive the Barcelona squad which had slumped last season, even though they failed in the champions league but there was still a la liga trophy and also a uel that xavi had to get. I don't think it's too early to congratulate Barcelona on their achievements this season.

I don't remember what was among the risks of Xavi, I think he just did what he was supposed to do. The management of the club did not make a mistake with the choice, because unlike the usual coach, he played for this club, he had a great career and team composition in those days, he has something to look up to and strive for, of course he does not want Barcelona to be somewhere in the bottom of the standings

After the international break we saw Villarreal putting up a good fight with a nice start but suddenly they flopped, villareal has under performed lately, very inconsistent, they team is expected to get well soon if not they will slide down more in the league table so they really have to do team work both in the mildfield central back and attack in other to get it right and return to the winning table.

[rendravolt]

It seems that Real Madrid will have to give up its desire to defend the league title this season. In the previous match Real Madrid lost at home to Mallorca, while Barcelona were able to beat hosts Sevilla on the road last night. The consistent results presented by Xavi and his players made their position at the top of the standings very solid with 53 points and Real Madrid had to be willing to win 45 points. The distance of 8 points makes it impossible for Ancelotti and his players to catch Barcelona and it takes 4 matches that end in defeat for Barcelona if Real Madrid wants to shift it from the standings.

Yes, Barcelona are likely to be champions this season and show everyone that they have finally recovered from last season's failure. Real Madrid cannot make a good game without Benzema. I don't know when he can play again, but without him Real is losing points. It will be very difficult for them to catch up with Barcelona now.

It is undeniable that Barcelona can continue to deliver impressive performances this season and that cannot be separated from the role of coach Xavi who continues to provide formations, tactics and motivation for Barcelona players. The duet of Pedri and Gavi also cannot be taken lightly in every game, they are both always one of the main pillars of attack and defense in the Barcelona midfield, the stamina and discipline of these two young players deserve appreciation.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid is still struggling with its players who are currently in bad condition and it is very difficult to be able to create opportunities in every game, but it is not uncommon for the finishing of Real Madrid players to be far from good in the last few matches. Ancelotti seems to have resigned himself to the current state of his team and it looks like in the summer transfer market they will have to buy new players to add game options so that they are more feasible and develop.

Betis - Celta Vigo game was amazing this week. Who could have thought that it would end by a goal duel like that. Moreover Celta Vigo even won the away game by 4-3.

Normally Betis were the absolute favourite side to win the game. But they were also terrible at defending in this game. Betis' second goal was a lovely one by the way as there was such a great organization before. In the same way, Celta Vigo's last goal was also incredible by a great header. Betis wasted two big chances while the score was 4-3 also. By the way I'm indecisive about whether the red card shown to Luiz Felipe was right. Because I didn't see any hit in the face. Of course he still hit a point on his body but it seemed like yellow card might have been better for that. I don't know maybe I'm wrong, it depends on what the rule book says.

This match was surely very interesting. Lots of goals in this match. And even a red card was there in the end as the cherry on top. I honestly did not think that Real Betis is actually going to lose this match. Because I thought they are performing better. At least they had better form compared to their opponent going into this match. But now things have drastically changed. Right now Real Betis has quite a bad form. And they have to upgrade and improve their performance. Otherwise, they are going to go further down the table.

And if we talk about this match, this match was full of fireworks and some very incredible goals we got to see in this match. Especially the first one that was scored to break the deadlock.

Xavi take the barcelona job in really heavy heart ... he know that it won't be easy and could be a disaster for his managerial career as the possibility to fail at the worst condition of barcelona really high that time , and you know what ... he proven to win against the odds!

He successfully maintain the first position at the domestic league now!

Next time Barcelona are playing against Villarreal in an away game. I don't know if this can be the game Barcelona finally lose points. Villarreal can't beat Barcelona in a home game for a long time. Besides Villarreal aren't having good days recently. They even lost to Elche which are the last-placed team in the league. This is Elche's only win in the season now.

While interesting things are happening about Villarreal I remember their home game against Real Madrid as well. This makes me think like if they can get another surprising result against a big team. But it feels like Barcelona will get another win.

[Gosgosking]

Barcelona beat Sevilla yesterday in convincing style. Barcelona dominated the whole match and it was only a matter of time before they scored. I must praise the often criticized Franck Kessi, who replaced the injured Busquets in the opening minutes and played a very good match. The 3-0 score reflects the difference that was seen on the pitch. Thanks to this victory, Barcelona are already 8 points ahead of Real Madrid and it must be admitted that at this stage of the season it is a big advance.

Barcelona performance in the game was great which came out with 3 goals , their was no sign of struggling for Barcelona.  It feel so good to see Barcelona doing well and working hard to see that they win the league.  Xavi has done more than enough for Barcelona for transforming the team into this good form.

Barcelona will focus on La Liga more than any other competition from now on, especially as their remaining matches are easier than the remaining matches of their closest competitor Real Madrid. However, Villareal isn't an easy opponent to defeat, whereas they have beaten Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid this season, but they don't show stable performance, so I agree that Barcelona will have a great advantage in this match.

Sevilla lost 3-0 in the last Barcelona vs Sevilla match. Jordi Alba scored a goal in the 58th minute and then xabi scored an assist from Raphinha in the 70th minute.  And in the next 9 minutes, Raphinha scored another goal with Jordi Alba's assist. And at the end of the match Barcelona went ahead with their points.

Barca gradually took control of the match after playing evenly for a while in the first half. However, Jordi Albara did not get a goal despite attacking one after another. After attacking in the first half, Barcelona continued to play under a lot of pressure in the second half after failing to score any goals. Then in the 58th minute of the game, Jordi Albara scored a great goal next to Busquets. Sevilla wasted the equalizer two minutes later. Xavi doubled the gap in the 70th minute of the game.  Rafinha passed a few players to Xavi inside the D-box before the Spanish midfielder slotted the ball into the Xavier net. After 9 minutes Jordi Albara's cross was put into the net by Rafinia Sevilla. After that, no other team could score, Barca won 3-0. Barcelona retained the top spot in La Liga with a fifth straight win.

A comfortable match awaits Real Madrid next week. It is against Elche in Santiago Bernabeu. Elche are like the most miserable team in the league now. They have newly got their first win by beating Villarreal. This was quite unexpected though but I don't expect this win to change anything for them soon. At least in the Real Madrid match, they would be desperate. Real Madrid have had difficult days recently. We have seen them losing points in very unexpected matches.

The loss versus Mallorca was a good example for this. Benzema was injured though but they were still a strong team. I expect the players to make up for this by beating Elche.

[KTChampions]

On the one hand, the defeat against Mallorca is a disaster (with Barcelona gaining even more advantage), on the other hand, Real Madrid's statistics are still good - 75% of points scored. Last year, Real Madrid became champions by a wide margin with 75.4% of points. Therefore, I will hope that Barcelona will once have a recession and Real have a chance.

I don't think Barcelona will let that happen to them with the points gap they have created so far. Especially now that Barcelona's game is more promising than what Real Madrid showed. It's hard to stop them this season. Last season it was Real Madrid who could walk very comfortably, but this season it looks like they will be very difficult to catch Barcelona if they are in the current situation.

Barcelona have incredible statistics at the moment - almost 90% of points scored, but the seasons when the team shows such indicators for the whole season are very rare. All clubs have recessions and if Barcelona lose points during their recession, Real Madrid will be able to catch up with it. If Barcelona win games during their recession (hard but win) like they have in recent difficult games, they will take the title.

For the start of the season, Betis' performance was quite good, but looking at the statistics of their matches after the international break, they still have problems in terms of performance and their condition is sometimes unpredictable.

The inconsistency of Real Betis lately really disturbs and influences their performance. We can see how their performance has been much lower and decreasing, especially after they lost to several top teams, their enthusiasm continued to decline and even this time they lost to a small club.

Barcelona beat Sevilla yesterday in convincing style. Barcelona dominated the whole match and it was only a matter of time before they scored.

It cannot be denied that Barcelona's performance this season has really improved greatly. What's more, they can be more consistent. Xavi in this case is indeed very smart to maximize every tactic he gives, and they also seem to never underestimate whoever their opponent is. So that they can play optimally in every performance. This condition seems to be the opposite with Real Madrid, they have decreased performance currently.

Yep. Since Xavi comes to Barcelona and he managed the Barcelona squad, there is a big improvement in Barcelona performance. They even already got 1 trophy and now they have a chance to win the La Liga trophy as well. Of course, Xavi never underestimates their opponents, especially Real Madrid. Although they are leading with 8 points now, I am sure Xavi never thinks that they are secure enough. Xavi must remind the whole Barcelona players to keep their good performance if they really want to win the La Liga title this season.

I could no longer trust Real Madrid to win vs weaker teams. Their miserable results lately are quite shocking. They ruined their chances and I cannot even imagine them losing vs Elche, that will be a joke for real.
Real Madrid should win vs Elche and pray for Barcelona to lose vs Villarreal even though the odds are quite desperate for Villarreal.

Barcelona have dominated this season with excellent performances and this last weekend March was the most entertaining this season so far and I am looking forward to when Barcelona will face Real Madrid because Real Madrid is the biggest obstacle to Baca's successful ending this season.
*Aside from Rsal Madrid I don't think there can be any other clubs that will easily stop Barca from reaching their goal this season.

Barcelona has an even player capacity, making it very easy to score goals in every game they face and this time Sevilla was also unable to stem Barcelona's dominance until the match was over. Frank Kessie is a strong player in terms of stamina and even creativity on the field, he also often helps attack and defend, so it's not wrong for Xavi to at least give Frank Kessie a chance to give a good performance for Barcelona.

Rayo Vallecano just assumed the 5th position in La Liga standings after achieving their 3rd win in the last 5 matches. Villarreal is in poor form but I think The fixture between Vallecano and Villareal will decide if Villareal will join in the fight for the top 4 positions in the standing, but till then The fight is going to be between Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid, and Rayo Vallecano who seems to be in a very good form presently.

The last time rayo meet villareal , they beat villareal away from home.

They had really great weeks to climb up to the top 5 now. Could be their season wonder to finish at the champions league spot if they can maintain the current form and kick atletico or real sociedad out of the competition , the journey is still far away but it's there for grab!

[Prince Malik]

Almeria wasted many opportunities and i think that they don't deserve losing this match, more than 14 goal attempts on this match but unfortunately they wasn't lucky enough to score any goal and vallecano team was more efficient, this win make vallecano in the 6th place 1 points ahead Villarreal
