La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[boltz]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Barcelona has several advantages that make the chances of winning this week's match bigger



Barcelona currently leads the standings with a difference of 8 points from Real Madrid in second place

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.

[maju69]

Real Madrid vs Elche, this match was a very unbalanced match I think, but what happened to Real Madrid recently made me have bad thoughts about them even with very weak opponents. It will be a very interesting spectacle if in this match Elche can get points from Real Madrid's headquarters and it will also be a very hard blow against them. I hope Real Madrid don't make a mistake that will embarrass them at the end of the game.

Match between Espanyol and Real Sociedad, Under the management of Diego Martinez, Espanyol is coming into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Osasuna in their most recent outing, last weekend. The Catalans are in a genuine relegation battle but have won just one of their last six La Liga matches since the return from the FIFA World Cup break. They now face a Real Sociedad side that are mounting a title charge but were beaten 1-0 by Real Valladolid at the Anoeta last weekend. Imanol Aguacil’s La Real will have to bounce back but a low-scoring encounter, regardless of the match result, looks likely for this one.

[minime0105]

Match between Villareal and Barcelona, Villareal have a solid season. They had some problems during the season, but Villarreal are still only four points behind the Champions League spots. Quique Setien's team struggled lately as they won only one of the last five matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Villarreal lost 3-1 on the road against Elche. Guests had 72% ball possession, but the home side played brilliantly on counterattacks, so Villarreal suffered a surprising loss. Villarreal have problems in defense. They allowed seven goals in the last four matches. Barcelona are brilliant this season. They are eight points ahead of Real Madrid, so Xavi's team are on track to regain the championship title. Barcelona won the last ten games in a row in all competitions. Last weekend, they won 3-0 at home against Sevilla. That was another easy win for Barcelona.  Barcelona have phenomenal defense. They allowed only one goal in the last six matches. Villarreal and Barcelona just meet once this season and In that game, Barcelona won 3-0 at Camp Nou. So judging by this record Barcelona might win again this time because the host team
Is not in good form lately.



 

[Oneandpure]

Up coming next match on matchday 21 have match between Villareal vs Barcelona, but home team having bad capital Barcelona opponent after losing from last two matches against Rayo Vallecano and Elche. I don't think have chance for Villareal taking one or three points against Barcelona in the winning trend after success having perfect winning record from last seven matches on all competition.

Still doubt with Barcelona starting eleven possibility because up coming few days later have important match against Manchester United in UEFA Europe League playoff round, they have focus for Manchester United opponent and seems possibility with second composition player include in starting eleven against Villareal.

Actually, I didn't expect Real Sociedad to lose at home by Valladolid but indeed, even though Real Sociedad are currently in the top four, but Real Sociedad is not very good when playing at home. Therefore, playing away against Espanyol I think Real Sociedad have a good chance to win.

It doesn't matter what the final score is like, because they are not a team that is hungry for wins with big goals. Because even though they only won with a low score, the most important thing is that they can end the match by getting three points.
