La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[reagansimms]

Barcelona's latest victory over Villareal was a close one, and the team may certainly benefit from working to increase its gaps of victory in future matches. And, their 11-point lead in the standings is a significant achievement, and Real Madrid will have to do a lot to catch up. Still, elite clubs can by no means be assured of staying there, and every game presents an opportunity for their opponents to test them. I can't wait to see what happens in the remaining games of the season for Barcelona and the other clubs fighting for the top position

It's not an easy job for Real Madrid to chase Barcelona by 11 points, obviously it's not easy for Real Madrid considering Barcelona performances are very consistent. Barcelona victory over Villareal has made Barcelona even closer to the trophy. Positive results have continued to be achieved without any obstacles in their journey this season. Since the start of the season, only Real Madrid have been able to beat Barcelona.
Barcelona will continue to fight to maintain its position to win the title after last season did not get any title.

It's not an easy job for Real Madrid to chase Barcelona by 11 points, obviously it's not easy for Real Madrid considering Barcelona performances are very consistent. Barcelona victory over Villareal has made Barcelona even closer to the trophy. Positive results have continued to be achieved without any obstacles in their journey this season. Since the start of the season, only Real Madrid have been able to beat Barcelona.
Barcelona will continue to fight to maintain its position to win the title after last season did not get any title.

It seems that Barcelona will continue to maintain the consistency of its victory after success against Villarreal, now they will beat their next opponent at this time. Indeed, Xavi has improved Barcelona's game performance even more solidly, but with a distance of points far enough, of course, it is also difficult for Real Madrid to get close to him except Barcelona had a few defeats and Real Madrid won when Barcelona lost, but all of that is difficult for us to see about Barcelona losing this season.
Only 1 defeat is what Xavi and his players are still holding on to with 21 matches.

[Jody.Drummer]

He was clearly having a good day in this match. He has lost a position for about a season this season because it is difficult to be in the Barcelona attack line when Lewandowski is there. with his move to Atletico clearly providing more space and of course his one goal at this time was really quite memorable.
Hopefully he can really play well again at Atletico because in fact he is still capable enough to compete in La Liga.
On the other hand, with this victory, Atletico still secure their position in the top 4 now because the difference in points has yet to be overtaken by other dark horse clubs.

The move to Atletico Madrid was a blessing for Depay, now he can try to return to his best form after gaining the trust of Diego Simeone. The arrival of Depay is a solution for Atletico in the striker position. Depay is more suitable to be in the Atletico squad, the quality of Depay who is a duet with Griezman is a good prospect for Atletico.

After undergoing a difficult season with Barcelona, Depay was able to develop his qualities under Simeone tutelage, he was more suited to the two striker scheme used by Simeone than the formation Xavi used at Barcelona which relied on three strikers. One goal scored by Depay can increase his confidence for the next match, Atletico also managed to secure its position in fourth place with a 4 point advantage from Real Betis which is right below it.

Now it's really just a matter of seeing what Simeone will do in the future.
The condition of their attack line has improved after releasing Joao and bringing in Depay but on the other hand I think in this case their strategy must be changed now because indeed with the condition of the front line which is still quite good in terms of players Simeone should be more daring to make some changes to his playing style so that it is not too monotonous when playing matches.
Their way of always playing it safe is actually good but this is a little boring and in the end it also becomes a little difficult for them.

[BigBos]

Villarreal was not a weak team. It was difficult for Barcelona to win away matches against them. However, Barcelona managed to secure 3 points from the match. Basically, the Barcelona players performed very carefully in this match. Because they are now preparing themselves for the Europa League matches. Their aim is to beat big opponents like Manchester United. And so they are not a big risk against Villarreal. If any player gets injured in this match, it will be difficult for Barcelona to play well against Manchester United.

I feel strange about villareal, when they face strong teams they look strong but when they face weak teams they are also weak. when facing barcelona yesterday villareal showed their dominance and at the end of the match based on the statistics of the match, villareal managed to master 54% ball possession.

Indirectly, Villarreal's game was carried away by the enemy's game scheme so that they were carried away by the flow of their opponent's game, we can see that against Elche, Rayo and today with Barcelona, Villarreal in terms of ball possession has always been superior but they seem to have no rhythm. in the game and the production of opportunities to score goals they are very minimal, maybe they play too much ball in their own area rather than being in the opponent's area, from the midfield and the back in terms of performance the players are quite good in my opinion but on the front lines the spearhead of victory maybe buth improvements so that they can improve productivity goals, coach Quique Setién must seriously improve the front line and sharpen his attackers.

[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.

Yep, Pedri already saved Barcelona from missing 3 points in several matches. Pedri is quite productive although he isn't a striker. But the question is, why Barcelona strikers failed to score in several matches? Even Lewandowski cannot score any goal? We assume Barcelona strikers are decreasing their productivity, they look like losing their accuracy. Xavi must note this problem, it should be fixed if they want to get another 3 points in the next matches. Barcelona can't rely on Pedri to always save Barcelona. Their strikers must be productive again as previously.

He has a very good prospect and it's not wrong that Pedri is in the line-up now, at least in the last few matches that I have seen he has saved Barcelona 3 times through his goals against Getafe, Girona and of course the last one was Villarreal yesterday.
This is really very good but not good for Madrid because indeed Barcelona continues to gain points in the games they play.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Barcelona couldn't play as they wanted against Villarreal in fact. They didn't have a huge dominance by ball possession or goal attempts. But this was still not a hindrance for them to get the 1-0 win there.

The organization before the goal was really lovely. Despite Villarreal's solid defense they somehow managed to create a great pass traffic in a tight area and Pedri just needed to finish it after. Villarreal got very close to scoring the equalizer in the last moments of the first half. Morales found a huge chance after a mistake by a Barcelona defender but he wasted the absolute goal chance very generously. Later on Raphinha also found some chances to score but he couldn't benefit from them.

Espanyol vs Real Sociedad, I'm sure that in this match Real Sociedad will win even though this is their away match. real Sociedad had an excellent performance despite their defeat in the previous week. Meanwhile, Espanyol have had a lot of problems so they are in a place close to the relegation zone. Bookies also offer odds that make Real Sociedad big favorites to win.

I've added Real Sociedad's goal to my multibet... Didn't take any chances with their win, although I think they'll beat Espanyol too... But Espanyol plays well at home... They haven't lost once in their last five home games... and even managed to beat Betis... So it's also possible that they won't lose today, but draw...

[Ratash]

The only game today is espanyol vs real sociedad, sociedad position will not change even if they lose today but they need the points to put some distance from atletico, espanyol on the otherhand will get away from the relegation zone if they win and it will put them on comfortable situation its a tough game for both teams.

Espanyol's performance has been erratic. Despite dropping points in the last two matches, they have won the previous two matches. Their main weakness is their defense. A stronger defense will improve their overall gameplay. However, Real Sociedad is a very strong team this season. They are now third in the points table. Despite dropping points in the last two matches, they have a strong squad. Real Sociedad managed to perform well in the match against Espanyol without it. Today's match is an away match for Sociedad, but Sociedad's win is more likely. I will bet on Sociedad to win this match.

...
Lewandowski R. at 14 goals and Benzema stopped at 8 goals, 6 goal of difference from my loved one (robert) and the golden boy (elder)

It is admirable that Lewandowski has proven himself again in Spain. He could have stayed in Germany and lived like the gods. Despite his age, he chose a new challenge. There are three more players on the list that also caught my attention. These are Enes Ünal, Alexander Sørloth and Vedat Muriqi. I have known these players since they played in Türkiye. I am happy that they have achieved a good average in Spain and I expect a good career leap especially from Enes Ünal.

[KTChampions]

On paper, Real Sociedad are really capable of winning, although this match will be held at home Espanyol. Real Sociedad record this season is also very impressive, tonight will be an absolute win for Sociedad statistically. As you said, Joselu is indeed a main striker for Espanyol and he is unable to play tonight, that's right the home team will definitely difficult to scored, there doesn't seem to be any surprises tonight.

The absence of the main striker (as well as the removal of a player in the game) sometimes leads to unobvious consequences: it becomes more difficult for a team that has received a formal advantage to realize it. The team that is at a disadvantage simply closes at its gate and the game ends in a draw. By the way, bookmakers are far from believing that Sociedad will definitely win today:

4.10 - 3.15 - 2.08

In fact, their chances are less than 50%.

Today's match is an away match for Sociedad, but Sociedad's win is more likely. I will bet on Sociedad to win this match.

Remember Espanyol drew with Atletico Madrid in November, had another draw with Barcelona in December, won Betis in January and also. In their game between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid don't forget they got red cards in both games and yet they managed to get draws. Sociedad might not find this game as easy as they did in the first leg after all it wasn't a clean sheet win for Sociedad i won't be surprise if Espanyol get a draw against Sociedad with or without red card.

Barcelona's latest victory over Villareal was a close one, and the team may certainly benefit from working to increase its gaps of victory in future matches. And, their 11-point lead in the standings is a significant achievement, and Real Madrid will have to do a lot to catch up. Still, elite clubs can by no means be assured of staying there, and every game presents an opportunity for their opponents to test them. I can't wait to see what happens in the remaining games of the season for Barcelona and the other clubs fighting for the top position

It's not an easy job for Real Madrid to chase Barcelona by 11 points, obviously it's not easy for Real Madrid considering Barcelona performances are very consistent. Barcelona victory over Villareal has made Barcelona even closer to the trophy. Positive results have continued to be achieved without any obstacles in their journey this season. Since the start of the season, only Real Madrid have been able to beat Barcelona.
Barcelona will continue to fight to maintain its position to win the title after last season did not get any title.

If we look at the performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona lately. I think 11 points is a gap that is quite difficult for Real Madrid to catch. Even though Barcelona's attack line was not very productive but their performance is fairly consistent, where they only got one loss and two draws, while the rest is a victory for them. If Barcelona remains consistent and makes as few mistakes as possible, I think this season will belong to them.

[Cookdata]

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.

How can you say that when everyone in the team is worried that Barcelona will leave Real Madrid far behind? You know, 11 points behind Barcelona is a lot, it's not a small number of points to expect Barcelona to give up its good chance for the title. But optimism is necessary, especially if you are a supporter of Real Madrid, and yes, just relax.

You made it sound like having standing on the table is a continuous process to win over and over, 11 point is a wide gap that will be so hard to overlap over night but even Barcelona wouldn't continue to win each of their matches, common!

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.

I hope that doesn't mean much because I'm even very surprised why Real Madrid fielded their main squad only to beat a mediocare team so mercilessly. I think that is the only title for Madrid this season, the rest is highly doubtful.

Lmao, wait, did you expect them to bring in their under-17 players when Al-Hilal came in with their best squad, the same squad that beat Ronaldo's current team to nill, the same team who dominates almost all Saudi's League, lol say something else because Al-Hilal is that team that no one could be compared with, they even create chances to score 2 goals in that final, that tells you that they are a good team. Madrid will bounce back, they are known for this as a Miracle team. 

[baeva]

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

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.

The match of Real Madrid will be only two days later, but I think there is not the slightest chance of defeat, because their opponent in last place in the table, despite all the theories that everyone can win, I think the outcome of the match here is too obvious. Elche has a goal difference of -25, which is too much and makes it clear that they have a very weak defense

[AakZaki]

Congratulations Madrid you guys are club World Cup champions.  At least Anceloti already has one trophy for the season. They still have 3 chances of winning. Copa Del Rey Cup, La Liga and UCL. But it seems that they encountered a tough opponent in this game. In the Real Madrid competition, it is also difficult because of 2 defeats that make them lose points and make the points difference with Barcelona even bigger, 8 points. Hope Madrid continue to win to at least win one more trophy this season.

Luckily Barcelona was able to secure its position to stay ahead with one goal, because so far the efforts made by Villarreal have also been very hard to try to balance the score, but until the match was over Barcelona managed to maintain its position and remain victorious in this match. The point gap between the first and second positions is 11 points and it will be difficult to catch up, so it can be seen that for the time being Barcelona's position at the top of the standings is still safe.

a narrow but very meaningful victory for Barcelona in maintaining their winning streak in Laliga. An additional 3 points made Barcelona comfortable again at the top of the standings. Xavi was very happy with the game of his team because they were able to play aggressively from the start so that they were able to make it difficult for the hosts to secure their defense so that Pedri was able to score a goal for Barcelona's advantage.

for the time being barcelona is 11 points ahead of real madrid so that makes barcelona quite safe for the time being. Barcelona in the next match will face Manchester United in the Europa League. I hope Lewandowksi can find his best form again in that match by scoring a goal.

[Ulven]

Barcelona couldn't play as they wanted against Villarreal in fact. They didn't have a huge dominance by ball possession or goal attempts. But this was still not a hindrance for them to get the 1-0 win there.

Later on Raphinha also found some chances to score but he couldn't benefit from them.

I think Barcelona got the 3 points with difficulty against Villarreal. If Xavi really wants to win the title, he must make a great effort and evaluate his tactics well for the next rounds.
~
At the other end of the table, Real Sociedad have been in fine form of late, but were held to a goalless draw at home to Real Betis last time out. Manager Imanol Alguacil was left frustrated by his side’s inability to find the back of the net, but will be hoping that the return of star striker Willian Jose can help them to a much-needed victory in this crucial clash.

[visionE2]

I think Barcelona got the 3 points with difficulty against Villarreal. If Xavi really wants to win the title, he must make a great effort and evaluate his tactics well for the next rounds.

Barcelona's game in that match was quite bad. The finishing was very bad, there were lots of opportunities that should have been goals but they didn't happen because many were selfish, even though when they woke up the attack was really good especially after hitting 1 goal, Barca's game was quite messy, and panicked. Very often hit counter attack. Luckily Villarreal's finishing was very bad, if Barcelona had not conceded a lot. Hopefully in the future Barcelona will be even better.

With this victory, Barcelona won their sixth successive victory after a narrow win over Villarreal at El Madrigal. This will be a motivation in itself to remain consistent in every game so that you can win Laliga this season.
