La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Doell]

the Valladolid vs Osasuna match will likely end in a draw. not in accordance with my expectations that expect Osasuna to win in this fight. Valladolid is playing better at the moment. even Real Sociedad had lost the previous match to Valladolid and it seems that Valladolid is starting to find their game. I hope that for the Barcelona vs Villarreal match the results will match my expectations. because I have high hopes for a Barcelona victory.

You're right, this match ended with a draw and there were no scores from both teams. Yes Valladolid is better rather than Osasuna maybe because of playing at home, but after can out of the relegation zone Valladolid got better, as you said Sociedad lost against Valladolid because they of difficulty to getting the score in that match. Lineups is known, also Barcelona with a 4-3-3 formation is expected to be able to win this match, pray the best for them.

Real Madrid won the Club World Cup but receiving 3 goals by Saudis was quite unexpected. The defence line including the goalkeeper didn't do their job at the opposite of the good attack line.
That match delayed their participation in La Liga to Wednesday so they will get another match Saturday then by Tuesday they will have to face Liverpool.. Quite intense schedule for Real Madrid..

It was expectable to be a game with a lot of goals, this is what we all expect at least for a final. So 3 goals were enjoyable to see, second only to the 5 scored by Real Madrid.

Back to La Liga, Madrid will now play against Elche, the last team in the table, so they wouldn't have much trouble winning.

Atletico Madrid's chances of winning this match do look higher, but Celta Vigo also put up some resistance in this first half. In the second half I think Atletico Madrid should improve some of the touches that didn't seem to work in the first half. The coach can refresh their game so that it is tidier and more organized in carrying out attacks from below. Let's see what Atletico Madrid can do in the second half later.

Atletico Madrid was very lucky today. They scored in the 89th minute and won. I wouldn't say that Atletico Madrid performed very well. Celta Vigo is not a very strong team but they performed well enough in this match. However, the match was very important for Atlético Madrid to get 3 points from this match. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Atletico Madrid to stay in the top four of the points table.

After Savic's red card in the second half I thought it was over but Depay really came to the rescue in this game. His second match went very well for Depay and the look at his celebrations seems to say that he is still very much worth it at the moment.
On the other hand, they also have to thank Oblak in this match.
Several times their goal almost conceded the ball but indeed Oblak's alertness was really good enough in my opinion and even though Atletico won because of Depay but Oblak is MOTM for me.

Villarreal is going to be a real challenge for Barcelona. It looks like one of those games that will end in a shocking draw. If Busquest was the only player missing for Barcelona then it would have not been such a big issue because Frenkie plays that role very well these days. He can be paired with Gavi and Pedri in midfield but the loss of Dembele is a problem. I guess Xavi will start Ansu Fati and play a 4-3-3 formation or start Kessie and play Gavi on the left wing.
I would like to see Fati given the chance to prove himself and win his confidence back.

I do not think so, Villareal is not as good as that anymore. I understand that they had some good seasons but that doesn't change the fact that Villareal is no longer like that, and this season they have been pretty mediocre. On the other hand Barcelona may had some bad seasons but they are leading the league right now and a much better team, definitely miles better than Villareal.

Obviously any team could lose to any team, there is no doubt about that, much lower level teams managed to beat much higher level teams before, so it wouldn't be a shock or uncommon if there was a draw but I believe that Barcelona is on a good momentum that they will beat them for sure.

Yes, this is definitely true, in addition Villareal is not very stable lately, in principle it is visible in the standings, but in January they managed to beat Real Madrid. Not that it is a coincidence, but they really fought well, so we can say that against strong teams they play with a very good attitude and motivation, so in any case, today's match for Barcelona is clearly not a passing one, it is necessary to try

Real Madrid is a team that is really going through a good moment, but they must also be thinking about this week's match, the UCL has them very focused on the match, however the fact that they have won the Club World Cup They have set morale very high, and that is good because coming from a championship that they won to a commitment as strong as that of the UCL, knowing that they are the defending champions, that puts them under some pressure, and it is not easy at all. Besides, Real Madrid wants to win the UCL again, Ancelotti is clear about it and he's going to look for it, I'm sure, the players want it too.

Real Madrid has secured one of the trophies this season and this is the World Cup trophy between clubs after Real Madrid was able to beat Al Hilal in the final match. Karim Benzema contributed 1 goal and Vini 2 and Valverde 2 goals. I see that the spirit of the Real Madrid players will get stronger to look at the next match. Indeed, in their performance this season in La Liga Real Madrid has slightly decreased their performance because in the previous match Real Madrid lost against Mallorca so that the points gap with Barcelona was again far away.

in the Champions league real madrid will face liverpool. even though liverpool is not in good form, liverpool can make it difficult for real madrid to steal victory from them.

After Savic's red card in the second half I thought it was over but Depay really came to the rescue in this game. His second match went very well for Depay and the look at his celebrations seems to say that he is still very much worth it at the moment.
On the other hand, they also have to thank Oblak in this match.
Several times their goal almost conceded the ball but indeed Oblak's alertness was really good enough in my opinion and even though Atletico won because of Depay but Oblak is MOTM for me.

Finally, Memphis Depay answered the doubts of the public and Atletico Madrid fans about he still has inconsistent performance by being decisive for Atletico Madrid's victory over Celta Vigo with a score of 0-1. There are not problem for him without get regulation or in starting eleven and coming on for Alvaro Morata in the 60th minute, Memphis Depay scored in the final minutes of the match. Despite Jan Oblak as man of the match with how many great saves but I sure Memphis Depay have good day actually after Atletico Madrid have played with ten players on 60th minutes after their defender Savic got red card.

[püsür]

well, Sevilla in that match really showed a strategy that was quite effective, especially in the defense area. Even Mallorca couldn't harm Sevilla's goal in that match. as host Sevilla gave their best game in that match. But in the next match they have to face a tougher opponent, namely Rayo Vallecano. As we know Rayo has had quite a good consistency lately. and their strength is to be reckoned with. so Sevilla may have to fight harder in the next game against Rayo.

Sevilla should have risen from the bottom of the standings, this was expected, but I don’t take such matches into account, the team is still very unstable and the result can be anything. Today Villarreal will host Barcelona, the match for Barça will not be easy, but Villarreal in the last match has become too much to concede, so Barcelona, with its reliable defense, can count on three points to further break away from Real.

In their last game, Barcelona played like the Barcelona we know. If quality 4 5 players are taken, it will really be the same as before. Sevilla plays so messily that when the match was 2-0 at 70 minutes, the announcer said that Barça finished the game, this word is normally said in the 90s. Kessie showed her quality, jordi's passing returns to Alba fills Busqets's place a lot, but xavi never puts him in the foreground, I hope he realized his mistake. I remember the years of Barcelona playing tiki taka for the first goal. I hope Xavi can play this style of play again in barcelona, that style of football is the most enjoyable game to watch.

Finally, Memphis Depay answered the doubts of the public and Atletico Madrid fans about he still has inconsistent performance by being decisive for Atletico Madrid's victory over Celta Vigo with a score of 0-1.

That was a lucky ball that get to him in the box but his finishing was great so that's a plus point. Atletico needed a game-changer player like that. They are lucky they still got three points after Savić's red card.

Barca started well, Pedri and Lewa co. did their job. We always see a lot of goals in Villarreal games so this may go over 2.5 goals and maybe more fairly quickly. Right now Setien played more controlled game but second half might be different.

[Ratash]

Barcelona are leading and its almost half time they dominated the game and they had more dangerous scoring opportunities if they manage this win the difference from real madrid will became 11 points and its game over even if real madrid team win their game eight points is still too much for real madrid to catch up.

With less pressure from the home team, barça will undoubtedly win the game easily. Villarreal still has time to turn things around. In the first half at Estadio de la Cerámica, Barcelona is up 1-0. The yellow submarine is keen to level the game up, but it appears difficult given Barcelona's stellar performance. With a rating of 7.2 in the first half, Pedri controlled every aspect of his footwork with the ball. His game-winning goal was stunning, demonstrating excellent bluagrana teamwork. There will be more opportunities for Barcelona in the second half as Xavi Hernandez applies more effective pressure techniques on the home team.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Atletico Madrid played decently in fact but there was some luck in this win at the same time.

I think that the breaking points of this game were Celta Vigo's getting close to scoring first two times. First Oblak was nearly making a huge mistake about saving Aspas' shot. But he made up for it quickly by clearing the ball just on the goal line. Aspas took a free-kick superbly but the ball hit the goal post this time. Despite Atletico Madrid's being shown a red card luck was still not on Celta Vigo's side. Atletico Madrid's goal was related to luck also. Because Depay found the ball in front of him suddenly and he just needed to touch it gently to score.

Every team will probably be fully aware that stopping Barcelona who are doing well is difficult this season.
Barcelona just ended the first half with a 0-1 win, the collaboration of Pedri and Lewandowski produced 1 goal to close the first half with an advantage. The match was quite interesting because Villarreal, who were playing at home, did not make many mistakes. But the goal was proof that Barcelona really took advantage of their opportunities well. I think it's a really difficult match for both of them, but Barcelona is a team that deserves to take 3 points today.

If Barcelona really win today's match, then that means they will widen the gap with Real Madrid to 11 points. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will have to work on it being 8 points away in the next match in the next few days.

[RockBell]

Barcelona is gaining more traction. I don't believe Real Madrid will win La Liga because Barcelona currently leads the standings with 56 points to Real Madrid's 45 points. Real Madrid has also won its last five games. It is currently playing Villarreal and winning 1:0 thanks to goals from Pedri and Lewandowski assisting. I don't believe Villarreal will win because I know Lewandowski still has goals in him and more attacks coming.

[Jossque]

In the first match of the day, getafe hosted vallecano. After trailing in the first half, getafe scored in the second half and got at least a point.
Atletico madrid took 3 points away from celta vigo with a single goal. It was a challenging match for Madrid. It must be said that they got an important 3 points.
In the most important match of the day, Villareal hosted Barcelona. Barcelona led in the first half. We can say that both teams are playing at the same level. In the second half villareal will push for points.

Relax, buddy. While you may have enjoyed Real Madrid's poor performance, it was actually the result of Benzema's on- and off-field injuries. I anticipated Barcelona to win today's match by three points, assuming Villarreal didn't mount a comeback in the second half. However, this doesn't mean that Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid; they still have a chance to lose to some very tenacious relegation teams, and before you say jack, they are only a few points beside Real Madrid. I've seen this happen in the Premier League, and it could happen here as well.

Real Madrid won the Club World Cup yesterday with good finishing, I didn't expect them to have so many goals, none of Madrid's players are currently injured, we should expect good results soon in here in Laliga.

Barcelona performance is amazing,  they had lots of opportunities to score more goals in the first half.  Even up to this moment Barcelona is still dominating the game it is very sure Barcelona will win the game. The level at which Barcelona point has reached it will be hard for real madrid to meet Barcelona.

[Zackgeno96]

barcelona again seems to keep the zero achetrin. Very quickly took a 0-1 lead and with 10 minutes to play that also seems to be the final score. In any case, another 3 points in the bag for Barcelona, if you manage to win every match like this, you will automatically become champion. The supporters will not be happy about it, but the national title weighs more heavily. A beautiful evening for Depay who gave Atletico the victory with a late goal.

If you are talking about the match Villareal vs Barcelona now, I don't think Barcelona played amazingly. Look at the stats, dude! Actually, Villareal is more dominating the match, they have more shot opportunities and they won the ball possessions. But Villareal can't convert the opportunities to be goals, it is quite sad for them. Barcelona is quite lucky that they can lead with 1 goal now, they only need to keep it until the match ends. However, I am sure that Villareal will try their best to make a goal. Villareal looks never gives up to steal points from Barcelona.

I don't believe Villarreal will win because I know Lewandowski still has goals in him and more attacks coming.

The match between Barcelona and Villarreal is heating up. Both looked very offensive and played quite pressing each other. But Barcelona is already 1 score ahead compared to Villareal so at least they have pocketed a goal. And what they need to do is strengthen the defense and also make the attack effective. Because it looks like Villarreal also provides quite a strong attack, so Barcelona must be vigilant so they don't miss opportunities.
The result is still 0 - 1 in this minute of 84 and Barcelona is still leading.

[izsara]

Again and again Pedri.
He is one of the crucial players because he always saves Barcelona from bad results.
There have been several times he has done this, and even in a match that is about to end soon it seems like he is still a savior thanks to the goals he creates.
the match entered the final minute and I don't think there will be any more goals scored in this match. Barcelona won 3 points back.
