La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Velvet78]

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.

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.

Barcelona had better focus on the La Liga mainly. It has been three seasons since the last time Barcelona won the league title.

They have a big opportunity ahead in this season. Their form is very impressive and they look like unstoppable. While Real Madrid are losing points in simple games Barcelona are doing the opposite. They manage to win even the games they have difficulty in breaking the deadlock for a long time. This consistent form is crucial for them to make it to the title.

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.

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.

Real Madrid must win against a weak team like Elche to keep the small hope to catch up with Barcelona, they should win that match easily, Barca on the other hand have a tough match against Villarreal, despite the odds I think Villarreal had a chance to score against them, so both teams to score in the match is a good bet in my opinion.

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 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.

Barcelona has been fully dominating the match. Almost all shots being made by barcelona have good accuracy. That's why barcelona was able scoring three goals against sevilla. Sevilla looks like an easy opponent for barcelona at this moment. It seems like barcelona will be winning the competition. Real madrid still faces difficulties once it was even facing a small team. It seems like barcelona is well prepared rather than real madrid. I think that this is the impact caused by the regeneration by barcelona. Real madrid was a bit late to do that.
Some players are very old like modric and kroos. Kroos will be also retiring very soon.

Real Madrid must bring in Benzema to win the next match, Elche should be an easy team to beat but must continue to work well together because they have to score a lot of goals to catch up with the points lagging behind Barcelona which is very far away, Real Madrid if you want to become a champion in this league you have to try as hard as possible to catch up and shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings.

I think Barcelona's strength this season is uneven, but the players are really working very hard to win match. Pedri, Gavi and several other young players are still quite unstable so I can't expect them to get consistent performance in every match. But this team has been formed to work together where good relations with fellow players have made them compact and support each other.

Really, I think Barcelona's strength this season in La Liga is the good relationship between the players and also the good relationship with the coach. Xavi was successful in making his players perform well and he was also quite successful in making his players have a warm dressing room. They are team, even though Barcelona are in financial trouble so far but they are doing well for their team.

Elche was in the lowest rank in the current standing of la liga. It will be a shame for madrid if the club won't able to win against elche. I think that there are some concenrs that will be so difficult to be solved. Since madrid didn't have lots of players on the bench and im sure ancellotti feels so difficult to do various rotations for its players. That was giving a big impact on the performance of the club.  Madrid urgently needed a good striker like benzema but ancellotti didn't wanna try to buy a new one last transfer season.
Benzema is facing injury again. Madrid has no choice but to play with the available striker in the club.

So many problems happened with madrid at the same time. middle-end of the season will become the most difficult time for madrid.

I realized how weak Real Madrid is without Benzema after watching Madrid's performance against Mallorca. Real Madrid's overall performance was not bad. While the midfielders and defenders were able to perform their duties properly, the performance of their forward players was very poor. They also missed easy-scoring opportunities. And so they need an experienced player like Benzema. If Benzema misses a few more matches this season, Madrid will miss out on both the La Liga and Champions League titles. Madrid needs Benzema now. If not, they will fall behind.

They manage to win even the games they have difficulty in breaking the deadlock for a long time. This consistent form is crucial for them to make it to the title.

Although I think we will never see a Barcelona again that is as strong as it was when Messi played there in his prime, the style they are playing now reminds me a bit of those good old times when they were patient until the very last second of the game. They hardly played any long balls unless it was by no means counter-productive. They controlled the ball and tried to find the gap even when it was still 0-0 and the 93rd minute. Now it is not exactly like that these days, but they are still very calm when they don't score an early goal. I think that is one of the greatest strengths a team can have in essentially any sport. Don't lose patience and keep your opponent busy on such a high level and force them to make a mistake.

I really like that kind of style and right now Barcelona is performing an incredibly calm style as you can also see that they have by far the best defense in the league. That might be the problem Real Madrid is fighting with. The offense is good so far, but their defense is still conceding too many goals in comparison to Barcelona.

Although I think we will never see a Barcelona again that is as strong as it was when Messi played there in his prime

Messi is a genius but he can not do everything and bring Barcelona to many titles if he did not have very great team-mates and a great coach like Pep Guardiola. They all were in a perfect squad and mutually supported each other to boost each of them to highest personal performance as they can in their career. So a perfect team like that could win many titles years ago.

I really like that kind of style and right now Barcelona is performing an incredibly calm style as you can also see that they have by far the best defense in the league. That might be the problem Real Madrid is fighting with. The offense is good so far, but their defense is still conceding too many goals in comparison to Barcelona.

Xavi is building a new squad and a modern tiki-taka with which he does not require his players to be obsessed too much with ball possession but he prioritizes more about results. Therefore Barcelona with Xavi management are trying to play more directly with their attacks. And if possible, they will try to pass the ball to opponent goal as soon as possible with intention to score goals by anyway they can do.

Xavi's match strategy is now very effective. He applied the tiki-taka technique earlier in the season. But then he gave more importance to ball possession than attack. And this strategy was not effective. But now the Barcelona team is playing very well. They are playing the tiki-taka trick. But they are able to create a lot of attacking opportunities. And this strategy will be very effective against any strong team.

But Barcelona's only weakness is their defense. I don't see any experienced players in defense. Barcelona management should try to strengthen the squad by adding experienced defenders to the team.

If not, they will fall behind.

It must be admitted that Real Madrid's performance this season has not met the expectations of many of its fans. Benzema has been injured lot this season and that has cost Real Madrid lack of consistency in their game. I think on the one hand it has helped Barcelona to recover and gain good confidence, and so far they have managed to create safe distance from Real Madrid with 8 points.

Thus, Real Madrid needs several new players who will support its performance. It's always difficult to expect these players to stay in top form over a number of seasons because they are getting older and harder to get fit. Benzema, Kross, Dani Carvajal, Nacho are some of the players who are getting old, they are getting weaker and they should get more rest instead of giving them full time in every match. If not, then Real Madrid will have to give up La Liga, Champions League and the Copa Del Rey for another team this season.

[Renampun]

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

Vallecano as the host was really very lucky because they managed to win 2-0 over Almeria (1 Ely own goal and 1 Rivera goal). because of this victory Vallecano managed to shift Villareal's position and was ranked 5th, a very good result for them.

Real Madrid must bring in Benzema to win the next match, Elche should be an easy team to beat but must continue to work well together because they have to score a lot of goals to catch up with the points lagging behind Barcelona which is very far away, Real Madrid if you want to become a champion in this league you have to try as hard as possible to catch up and shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings.

Even though Elche is currently a team at the bottom of the standings, their chances of making a surprise are also very big. I agree that ancelotti has to use the main madrid squad to win this match, making as many goals as possible is very important for madrid, so that they get closer to barcelona and narrow the point gap.

They are team, even though Barcelona are in financial trouble so far but they are doing well for their team.

I also see the same thing in Barcelona's journey this season since Xavi took over from Koeman. Xavi's success in forming the team is the most basic thing that a coach of any team should do if he wants the club to succeed.
If communication and good relationships between players are good, it will be easier for the coach to implement the desired strategy.

Pedri and Gavi will be more mature if Barcelona continues to give confidence to Xavi as a coach because the pattern formed by Xavi at this time on young players like them will make Pedri and Gavi not only valuable assets for Barcelona, but will also be valuable assets for the future of the Spanish national team. The same goes for Alex Balde.

The same goes for Alex Balde.

Barcelona have mainly focused on young talented players this season. Because these players have their future. They can serve the team for a long time if they get proper training and become experienced. Xavi's aim is to gather such young talent and experience them. Pedri, Gavi and Raphinha are all talented and promising players. And everyone has already proved their mettle.

Xavi needs to find ways to use these players properly. I believe unless they suffer any major injuries they will adapt to the team very quickly. And consistently we will see consistently good performances from players like Pedri, Gavi and Raphinha.

Barcelona have really trailed rivals Real Madrid to 8 points, but the season is still long and there are many comebacks from Real madrid. I think Barcelona should not rest in victory.
  Since Real Madrid are still the defending champions, I believe the next match Real Madid will regain their form.

Rayo Vallecano struggle to achieved victory from Almeria, because Almeria got weak in the second half that made them to have the opportunity to scored two goals to defeated Almeria 2-0 for the favour of Rayo Vallecano. Almeria coach need to work on their defense, because what they displayed at the back made their midfielders and strikers not to work very well to achieve a single goal, because they got confused the way the match changed for the favour of Rayo Vallecano in the second half. Now that Rayo Vallecano has moved to 5th position in the la Liga league table, showed that they are very close to take over the second position from Real Madrid soon.

Try to stay calm, we are still here and fighting to get better. I don't expect Real Madrid to fail to win any titles this season, this means we still have the chance to win La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League. All titles are still available, even though in La Liga Barcelona are already 8 points ahead of us. I wish Ancelotti all the success in our next match against Elche and Osasuna, and get ready to face Liverpool in the Champions League on February 22.

But in 2 days, we have a Club World Cup semi-final against Al Ahly, but I'm sure it's not a very important game for us to win.

Real Madrid is currently underperforming and if they continue with this trend they might end up not winning any trophies. It is important to note that Barcelona is not the only good team in La Liga. You didn't watch the match and saw how Mallorca rattle them. Vinícius Júnior always had two Mallorca players such as Pablo Maffeo and Antonio Raillo on him. It was massive defense and a massive attack from the start to the end by Javier Aguirre's side. La Liga has other nineteen unpredictable teams that are competing for these three trophies. So there are all possibilities that Real Madrid can go trophyless this season. The team's attack needs more sharpness and power.

[lixer]

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!

There is good change of quality and performance for the Rayo Vallecano will allow them to stay at this spot for more weeks and things can change if they have done more improvement they can go at fourth and having good chance for the qualifying into Champions League recently we have good decline in teams which are mostly stayed at this level but now struggling badly like Villarreal, Betis and Athletic Bilbao all are going down and have not good improvement for having chance to stay at higher level which is concern for them but Rayo is surely doing amazing and need to stay at this level because if they lost their momentum then surely they can also face consequences and drop is always stayed at the head for teams like these in La Liga.

All trophies are valuable for the club galleries since they mark a victory and provide financial profit for the team, but the Laliga trophy undoubtedly commands more attention than those from other leagues despite the fact that they are all significant. While I am confident Real Madrid will defeat Elche, I'm not so sure about their ability to defeat Osasuna. When Benzema was present the last time they drew, what might happen if he returns sooner than that? Additionally, there is a chance that Real Madrid will reserve him for the Champions League in order to prevent injuries. Madrid needs their players now more than they ever need them
