La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[asriloni]

Judging by the text broadcast, the game Al-Ahli - Real Madrid was very eventful and it is worth watching the highlights. After the score was 2-1, I started to worry that Real Madrid wanted to give another unpleasant surprise, but in the added minutes the score became 4-1. Formally, a big victory, but in fact the Egyptian club had a chance and Real had to work hard. Well, the final is ahead and I hope that, firstly, Benzema will play, and secondly, Real Madrid will win again.

Yes, there is a hope for Real Madrid to win again because they were able to performed well to achieved 4 goals to defeated their opponent that made many people to believe that Real Madrid can do better than this in their next match. Indeed Real Madrid strikers really showcased some skills in this match that made their performance excellent, because they didn't allow their opponent to achieved more than one goal in this match. I think, Real Madrid has what it takes to embrace the title because their players are very ready to improve  more.

Real madrid faces a very difficult situation in la liga. Glad to see that real madrid has been winning against al ahly. I remember when al ahly wanna try to take advantage from some main players that got injured but this team the quality has been saying about the truth. Al ahly can do nothing rather than accept the truth if its team must be losing against madrid. Madrid is full of superstar. Al ahly actually lose even before the match has begun.
There will be a very interesting match once real madrid will be facing al hilal in the final of fifa club world cup. Al hilal has a very good performance in arabian premier league. It's far harder compared with al ahly.

I didn't watch the match but I was almost sure about what the outcome would be. The game against Al hilal is another story and it will be interesting to see, but I think that Madrid won't have any issues either. Anyway, taking the latest results into account, I can't vouch for Madrid anymore, just in case (especially after losing to Mallorca).

Benzema is struggling for fitness and that's affecting the whole team performance. He's one ofthebest striker in the world and he has Given his best to Madrid, but it's high time Carlo Ancelotti look for his replacement in the attacking line, Benzema is aging and he can't be Madrid  only striker. They have to sort out for a good young striker if they will win anything trophy this season.
Because Barcelona are already the title favourite with 8 points ahead of Real Madrid.

We know that Benzema is considered a star player for Real Madrid, and whenever he is going to miss a game, it becomes a huge concern for Ancelotti and Real Madrid. We shouldn't forget easily how badly they performed last season without him. Nevertheless, I wouldn't say he is irreplaceable. This is because they now have so many talented players that are growing, and we can, to an extent, say that anyone of them can score now with or without him.

Benzema is a very important star player, but now it can be said that the peak of his career is coming to an end. Now he will accept that it is time to leave his position to the young players. Young and promising Endrick will join the Real Madrid squad in a few years. Apart from that, Mbappe needs to be in the Real Squad. If they sign Haaland as well, they will be ahead as the best team in the world. Real Madrid can go back to its glory days in a few years.

I think becoming the best in the world once was a big dream for Benzema that has come true. I also think he knows that he won't be able to repeat what he did during that season. That is just not realistic.

I don't know what Madrid's plans are right now and whether they are still trying to get Mbappe as well or whether that plan is fully put on ice? Anyone knows anything?

The loss against Mallorca surely was a painful one and it was a loss with very bad timing. It turned Barcelona's win into a 6 point game, which makes it even worse.

Xavi just said that Barcelona isn't the favorite for the La Liga title, but in all seriousness I think that is bs. Barcelona is definitely the favorite now.

Well, you send all top forwards to Real Madrid. ) Firstly, Benzema is still capable of a lot, it’s too early to send him on vacation, and secondly, PSG will never let Mbappe leave the team, at least while he is at the peak of his form, that’s for sure, well, City won’t let Haaland go either, he essentially became the most important player in Guardiola's attack, so if they agree to let him go, it will be very expensive, even for Real Madrid.

I think Benzema era is kinda gone with him winning Ballon D'or. I mean , he achieved anything he wanted in football and don't forget that age doesn't forgive anyone and as we know , Real tends to let players go at a certain age , especially if they have a replacement for him and Benzema already has a replacement for him. He is not irreplaceable but it will be hard for anyone to fill his empty goal whenever he will decide to leave Real Madrid.

Also , this season , all they got left is winning UCL again ..and for me seems kinda unlikely.

[jayce]

Don't you think getting him would be very expensive after just 1 season of signing at Manchester City?
They had a golden chance to get a centre forward from Bundesliga (Haaland and Lewandowski) last summer, but they thought they could depend on Benzema.

I am not one who like English related players because of the media hype, but maybe they can try Harry Kane and see how it goes.

Perhaps you don't remember that Madrid almost sign Mbappé and had prepared the bags full of money for that, but in the end the French star turned down the bid and prefer to stay with PSG. With the less active transfer activity in last transfer windows comparing to their rival Barcelona, I think Real Madrid save enough money for a huge transfer. I don't think Kane will suit in La Liga as it's completely different with premier league, unless if he can run as fast as Bale or have physique as strong as Lewandowski.

FC Barcelona is not at his best, financially speaking, and can't afford to get new players (even if it doesn't seem like they need it either). This can be a good opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up, although I'm not sure about who should they get among the players you mention. What is clear is that given their performance in La Liga, the worst option would be not to catch anyone.

The transfer window is already closed and of course Madrid wouldn't get anyone to improve their current performance until the end of season. It will be a big challenge for Ancelotti to use his current squad and try to make his players not get injured easily. But Madrid needs to bring a new player in needed position such as forward and full back.

[RealMalatesta]

I personally believe that Haaland is an opportunistic player, and he’ll be switching clubs constantly and that was a key reason why Real Madrid didn’t target him but now they have an excellent chance to sweep in and take him to La Liga. Furthermore I feel that even Kane isn’t a bad signing provided they can strike a deal with Tottenham, because he can guarantee them goals and he has lots of experience too which will further improve the team.

I think he may stay for another season, that way he would not be the type of player who left after just one season and a bad news, but he would be there "if" something happens, there is a likely chance something could happen, but he would be basically saying he stayed around.

This of course depends on what the punishment is, if they are sent below to championship, he won't stay but neither majority of the players, many will leave so it will be fine. In that situation Real could scoop in and buy him, whatever his price is, if he is 200 million then they will pay that, it really doesn't matter how much he is because he is a one of a kind player you can't find anywhere else.

[Ahli38]

I just realized that Mallorca has always been quite a dangerous team when playing at home. even if we pay attention to Mallorca at this time they have managed to win 4 times in a row at home matches as hosts. and most recently Real Madrid who also had to drop points because they were defeated by Mallorca. the other teams besides Real Madrid that Mallorca beat at home as hosts were Atletico Madrid, Real Valladolid and Celta Vigo. and the unique thing is that Mallorca always manages to win with the same score, namely 1-0.

Cavajal the Spanish player is due for sitting on the bench and making use of younger players to help with the squad, Real Madrid once wanted James of Real Madrid but talks of his dropped immediately he said he's not interested in leaving Chelsea. That spot need replacement and also midfielder's and Benzema. I heard Real Madrid signed a young Brazilian as the replacement for Benzema true?
Some good midfielder's should also arrive else Real Madrid can't fight for the league next season. The earlier they get the job done, tue better for them

It cannot be denied that Mallorca is quite dangerous when playing at home, they are really terrible but unfortunately they cannot be consistent in their performance when they play away. Until this moment I also still don't believe that Real Madrid can be beaten with a sad score of 1-0 by Mallorca, of course this makes Real Madrid even further away from Barcelona, and Barcelona brought home the acquisition of 3 points to 53 points that Barcelona collected in this week. Of course that is not a good thing for Real Madrid, because it will be farther and farther away.

One thing we forget, Casemiro's role is just as important as Benzema's. when El Real lost Casemiro, Madrid experienced a slight decline in performance. because Tchouameni still needs high flying hours. but when Modric and Toni Kroos were absent, Madrid really struggled to win their matches. their midfield players seem not mature enough when their two seniors are not played. plus the injuries to several defenders, making it difficult for Madrid to appear with high performances.

Don Carlo is well aware that he lacks midfield players, because of that, Jude Bellingham's name was always linked with Madrid in the last January transfer window.  but in fact, Don Carlo had to prepare the available players.  I'm not saying that Valverde, or Camavinga played badly.  it's just that, they need long minutes of play. and Ancelotti did that, but the result was not as satisfactory as expected.

Furthermore, Don Carlo has homework that he must take care of. like it or not, Madrid must continue to play Modric and Kroos as their pillars to help the front line or defend.

you will see that next season, with the champions league it will be better
moreover, in my opinion, he has recovered very well many fans who, by selling him to play at his best, have decided to renew his season ticket
they are working fine, let them do it

[Marvell1]

There is no news about the policy taken by Real Madrid regarding transfers. The last rumor is Belingham which is in demand by Anceloti. But the news just evaporated. Actually, I am also waiting for the moment for this, because they are currently the right time to regenerate players who are getting old. Especially in the striker position. I don't really understand if they put it all in place to buy Mbaape? It became a mystery. They should be able to use this season to buy some of the players they need.

Real Madrid does need some new players, especially in strikers and defense. Several times I saw Eduardo Camavinga used at left-back by Ancelotti even though he has adapted to the game, but it's clearly not his natural position.
When players start to be forced to play on new position that is not their main position, then there must be problem in that position such as a shortage of players or the form of the available players is not good. The situation is the same as Barcelona where they have played Gavi as left wingger some of the time while Ferran and Ansu Fati are available on the bench. Immediately that real madrid had to focus on getting new players, this really has been mandatory for them because of the needs of the team.

I was actually really surprised and sad that Real Madrid did not even try to get João Cancelo on the team. Cancelo could have been a great player for Real Madrid. I do not understand why they would not even look at Cancelo and play Eduardo Camavinga as the left-back. That is just absurd.

A lot of people are already saying that Real Madrid does not deserve to win the Champions League. Just because they did not try to get Cancelo on the team. At the same time when Barcelona is trying to make the team far better and stronger, Real Madrid is not worried about bringing in new players in the team at all.

Villarreal is in a declining state and they lost 6 points from their last 2 matches when they were defeated by Rayo Vallecano and also unexpectedly they lost to the team who are at the bottom of the standings Elche. From their last match against Elche which ended in defeat, I personally conclude that in this match they will lose again and make it their third defeat in a row. Yes, this is definitely for a very basic reason, with Barcelona's performance, which is very difficult to stop.

[Pulsar77]

I will be clear about one thing. Villarreal couldn't win any home match against Barcelona since 2007. It is a really serious record and psychological advantage for Barcelona clearly. Now we see Villarreal not having a proper season as well. They even lost to a team like Elche the last time. I mean Elche have got their only win against Villarreal as you know. Villarreal got two losses in a row and this would affect their morale negatively I assume. Barcelona are their opposite version now. They are the most consistent team in the league.

I only worry about the possibility that Barcelona might also lose points surprisingly like Real Madrid did in this stadium not long ago. But 1.80 odd is given to Barcelona and it is really tempting to me.

Villarreal is currently still in the top six at the top of the standings which is a pretty good achievement, even though they lost in their last game and it is likely that when they meet against Barcelona they will lose again,
By contributing to La Liga, Villarreal has gained invaluable experience because they know the style of play and face to face with big clubs like Barcelona and others.
