La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[babo]

I couldn't agree with you more; Barcelona's current style of play brings back fond memories of their heyday. That they can hold their cool and force their opponent to stay on their toes even when the score is knotted is astounding. It's a sight to behold the way they possess the ball and patiently wait for a scoring chance.

You're right that having one of the best defenses in the league is a major plus for them. With their cool demeanor, they are able to maintain control of the ball and force the opposition to make mistakes. I also understand why Real Madrid's defense has been so shaky recently. Offensive success typically leads to victory, but stout defense is what ultimately determines a team's fate in a tournament. To be competitive with Barcelona, Real Madrid must strengthen their defense and make it equal to their offensive.

They are playing as they should, I applaud the club, the coach and the players a lot
they are really working hard and the results will show
already now you can see, already now I'm breathing down my neck at Real Madrid
on the contrary, as you can very well see from the standings, I think they will take the title.. true, they are only 8 points behind.. but is possible

Real Madrid is not playing bad but luck is not with them either. Anyway, this can change at any time. I understand the doubts that arise about their fate in La Liga this year, but as you do, I would also avoid looking so short term and wait for a turnaround that can occur at any time: if results were certain, bets wouldn't make any sense in football.

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.

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.

Being in second place is still something for Real Madrid in the league, it's not all the time that luck shines. But it's obvious that Barcelona is the owner of the trophy this season, they have strongly improved and created more gaps now. Barcelona has been more impressive, and their last 5 matches were all cleared, unlike Real Madrid which lost 2 and drew 1. More effort is needed by them so that their second place will not be displaced by Rela Sociedad that only lost one match in their last 5 matches.

Of course, all teams hope for titles at the end of the season but in La Liga there are only 3 teams that take turns winning titles and they are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

So far Barcelona has performed well with only 2 draws and one defeat. They lead the standings with more points than Real Madrid and that of course makes Real Madrid have to plan for wins from Elche and Osasuna. I don't think Real Madrid will make any mistakes in these 2 matches, meaning that they are expected to win all the points available.

I don't think Real Madrid will make any mistakes in these 2 matches, meaning that they are expected to win all the points available.

Real Madrid have to carefully from now on but they will have more challenge with more attention of their opponents against Vini Jr. The intensity of fouls against Vini Jr. has become increasing in the past two seasons. That shows some facts that he has become a more important player of Real Madrid and opponents want to control him better. Playing fair and controlling Vini Jr. are a tough task so opponents choose an easier solution by making more tackles and fouls against the player.

It reduces risks and opportunities related to Vini Jr. and it means Real Madrid will have to find alternatives from other players. Benzema has gotten more issues with his body in this season that in general, impacts the performance of Real Madrid too.

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.

As they play against Real Madrid at home and win there were chances now they will increase their performance and having good chance for staying at top four, but sadly things change drastically, and they lost their matches against weaker sides which bring them down now most chances Barcelona will not allow them to have any chance against them, and they can lose their third match in row which will bring them down as well because Betis and Athletic Bilbao both having chances for giving better results.

Now surely it's time for the Real Madrid to have some good results because after break they are also on decline and now having eight points gape from the leaders Barcelona if they keep going like this surely this difference will be widened which is never been good thing for the title race while Real Madrid have two derbies in coming weeks first against Atlético Madrid on 25th February and then against Barcelona on 16th March which will be not easy games.

There are still 18 jornada remaining in la liga. I think that the chance for real madrid is still there. I do believe real madrid can come back stronger. Barcelona may very strong right now but it doesn't mean barcelona will always win without any lose.
Madrid will be facing a match in the world cup of club. People have been predicting the result against mallorca will be giving big impact on the performance of real madrid. Ancellotti was too harsh for not adding new players to the club. There should be some new players like jude bellingham that might be bought by madrid. Some old players have been making real madrid feel so difficult. Meanwhile, real madrid has no choice other than keep continue with the current squad.

Real Madrid are still trying to catch up with Barcelona even though they are currently 8 points behind Barcelona. The loss to Mallorca will make Real Madrid even more consistent in the next game, Ancelotti will focus more on their defense and attack to get the win.
Real Madrid cannot rely on one player when it comes to scoring goals. The absence of Benzema makes it difficult for Real Madrid to score goals. Ancelotti must immediately find a way out so that Real Madrid attack is more effective even though it is not reinforced by Benzema.

There is something different from Barcelona at the moment, especially the midfield they have. Gavi started playing smartly, he started to know when to dribble, and when to stab the opponent's defense, when to pass and when to run. there have been many changes, not least with Pedri, his game shows maturity. and the most crucial thing is, the role of De Jong who is a duet with Busquets as a pivot. Currently, Barcelona is starting to find its rhythm. Raphinha's performance was no exception, he began to find his rhythm. no exception, with Barcelona's defense line playing with high enough discipline in every game. Xavi's task is to maintain the performance of his troop, and further improve chemistry and even stronger bonds.

On the other hand, Madrid's performance has decreased as several of their players have been injured. Madrid experienced a phase of decline and unstable performance. Don Carlo has quite a bit of homework for him to fix, but there is still time for Don Carlo to bring his troops back on the real track. because, the La Liga schedule still leaves 18 matches remaining.

[minime0105]

If we have to look at Barcelona in the recent time they are not looking at making fans enjoy the tactical and skillful football they enjoy from them as it was before but they are more anxious about getting the points in every match even though is 1:0 win is ok by them, when we see what is happening in Madrid despite that they are 8points behind the league toppers I don't see them achieving it this time unless benzema is back to do it better than ever thats my take.

[ZAINmalik75]

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.

Yeh absolutely Almeria play phenomenal they fight strongly with vallecano in first half but later due to own goal put them under pressure as a result they can't stop second goal to conceded on them. But if we check out statistics of match Almeria has more postion than vallecano also they has more passes and almost same shots but unfortunately they can't takeover the vallacano,

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,
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.

After that defeat it's second defeat for Almeria in last 5 matches , they have 2 draw and only one win, which quite bad performance hope Thier manager will fix them. Vallacano are well them as they are now fifth position on table but taking position from real Madrid will not impossible but will be too hard for them.

At this present time I don't even see any football club or football country that emphasizing on making the fans happy rather than winning their matches. This attribute can only be found in the Brazilian national team where the players derive pleasure in catching fun and making and also making the fans cheer and clap at them, in the end even if it means that they will lose the results. Barcelona wants to get back to their hundred percent winning records and this could only be done by winning every match they encounter and not by entertainment

[FanEagle]

It is true that Barcelona has been amazing this year, plus with Real losing again, the difference became 8 points, nearly 3 game difference and I would guess that it would take a lot to make them lose this lead. That means if they end up being champions, all that money they spent even when they were in financial trouble may have worth it.

This championship, and potential good stages next year in UCL, and maybe a small chance of europa cup this year, all combine for a ton of money and that would be worth it. In that situation, they would be able to transfer like normal, and wouldn't need to do all the things they did this year, like selling their rights to many things.

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.

I think too early predicting about  Real Madrid will miss their La Liga tittle due remaining 8 points behind Barcelona managed first standing awhile. La Liga have 18 matches left and many points hunt for many team and I don't think Barcelona will get all points, actually have second match for el clasico although and potential for Real Madrid to make points close.

Real Madrid have bad news for FIFA Club World Cup semifinal after official confirming with Karim Benzema and Luca Modric have absent, still European team always favorite become the winner in FIFA Club World Cup on every edition time.

That means if they end up being champions, all that money they spent even when they were in financial trouble may have worth it.

Barcelona increased quickly and pursued Real Madrid's performance last season and answered this season with satisfactory results. With an acquisition of 8 points as their capital to stay at the top of the standings, of course Xavi will not easily feel satisfied, because this season as Xavi said he will create the Barcelona era in a different format.

Real Madrid is not difficult but relying too much on old players who are considered to have the same performance as last season. Age can not be fooled and now Real Madrid gets a little feedback. But apart from everything I believe that Madrid can still recover if they make changes and are more concerned with long-term prospects with younger players' preparation. All need a process and Barcelona also goes through an inconsistent stage before finally being able to form a new solid squad.

So there are all possibilities that Real Madrid can go trophyless this season. The team's attack needs more sharpness and power.

I'm pretty sure Real Madrid will be back at their best. because they also have to prepare for the matches in the last 16 in the Champions League. Although Real Madrid seems quite lucky. because Liverpool, who will be against Real Madrid in the Champions League, are currently in equally bad performance. maybe even worse than Real Madrid. yes, the teams in LaLiga are currently giving surprises. different from the first half of the season. we can guess the outcome of the match quite easily. but nowadays every game is a little bit difficult to predict. because teams that were considered weak were slowly starting to show that they were also quite strong and could not be underestimated.

[Fara Chan]

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.

Barcelona's win over Sevilla made Barcelona fly even further and left Real Madrid with a difference of 8 points from him, although there are several matches that will be held in the future Real Madrid will have difficulty chasing the difference in points, we did not expect Real Madrid to lose to Mallorca and in that match Real Madrid which has the opportunity to shorten the point gap with standings 1 has ended up aground, Real Madrid will find it even more difficult to catch Barelona, and it is possible that Barcelona will continue to lead the League and win it.

Real Madrid will only find it difficult to catch Barcelona up if only Barcelona can be consistent by winning all their games. But if Barcelona misses matches it will be a chance for real madrid to get back to the first position. Barcelona just need to be very conscious of their games and not to mistakenly lose any game.

That will happen when many of Barcelona's main players are injured or other things are caused that make the team's performance not good and inconsistent, but so far Xavi Hernandez has been very neat in compiling a team strategy and is equipped with quality players and good luck for the team because the main players from Barcelona is always fit and uninjured, with consistent team performance I think Barcelona will continue to lead the league, it's a little difficult for Real Madrid to catch up to him in the current situation, let alone the point difference is quite 8 points behind.

[rojan]

Today in the Spanish League Rayo Vallecano vs Almería between these two teams, Rayo Vallecano scored 2 goals to win the match. However, before halftime, the two teams played a very good game. But after halftime, Almería became very weak, due to which Rayo Vallecano scored 2 goals in this match.However, I enjoyed the game as a very good game between the two teams. I thought from the beginning that Rayo Vallecano might win the match.

Barcelona always wins games with a narrow score and it makes it sometimes difficult for them to score more goals, but since yesterday's game against Sevilla they have been able to score more than one goal. It seems they have started to find ways to play intensively to generate more opportunities and maximize finishing.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid, due to the absence of Karim Benzema, sometimes confused them about having to play the game as usual. We know Benzema's very important role as the main target, but his absence has made Real Madrid's attack line less creative and often stalemate.

It seems they have started to find ways to play intensively to generate more opportunities and maximize finishing.

But that wasn't the case against Almeria yesterday. They managed to win even 3 goals without conceding. This result makes them feel more comfortable at the peak of the temporary class. The 8-point gap does look pretty close to the remaining 18 games. However it is quite difficult to pursue. Barcelona currently looks better than Real Madrid. They have a good mentality at the moment. So, there is no serious problem in Barcelona at the moment. Next they will play against Villareal in the League and Man United in the Europa League.
