La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[MAAManda]

Barcelona are looking ambitious to win the league this season and for what it seems they are very focused on the league and picking up the maximum point they are able to get from every game in the second half of the season and I think Barcelona will go all out to win this game against Cadiz.

There is no doubt for me that Barcelona will win their match against Cadiz, at the moment Cadiz are only at the bottom of the La Liga table, besides that Barcelona will also be playing at home, it is very unlikely they can't win for at least 1 - 0. The thing that is hard to guess is about the handicap bet on this match, of course if Barcelona only wins by 1 goal difference against Cadiz, everyone who bets on the handicap and chooses Barcelona will lose. What do you think? Can Barcelona win by 3 goals difference?

Benzema maybe prepared for the match against Liverpool, this man was given a rest to be in very good condition later, so the unfit news was actually only part of Ancelotti plans. Against Osasuna is also not too difficult so that Real Madrid will certainly get points at there, I think maybe a draw because Osasuna is quite tough at home, but Real Madrid will be lucky if Asensio is back in good performance to scored.

Yes, Benzema did not enter the Real Madrid line-up against Osasuna. I think Ancelotti rotation plan was pretty good before they played in the Champions League against Liverpool. In the last 5 matches Osasuna has never won against Real Madrid so there is a high probability that Real Madrid will be able to steal full points in this match.

Moreover, Osasuna in their last 5 matches they have been unlucky in the matches they have played where 3 draws and 1 win and 1 loss. Real Madrid can take advantage of the opponent's imbalance to be able to press early in this match.

Barcelona's consistency gives confidence to see them win their 22nd Laliga match this week
It will be difficult for Real Madrid to overtake Barcelona in the standings with their consistency
There is no doubt that Xavi and his team are very ambitious to win Laliga this season, they go through every match consistent and confident.

I think we could have a clearer view after the next Clasico, which will take place a month from now. There're still a lot of rounds and everything might change as both teams have European competitions, that would physically exhaust players in the next rounds.

Regarding today's match, Real Madrid will miss important players like Tchouameni, Kroos, and Benzima. In addition, the first leg match ended 1-1 in Madrid, so they might find some difficulties today. Therefore, the odds would give a good return if Real Madrid won today.

It doesn't look like rotation about Benzema, I don't know exactly what caused him to miss this match. Benzema was not available in the main line-up today and he was not on the bench either.

I hope Real Madrid can really play well and win games even without the best stickers, but Osasuna cannot be underestimated. Vinicius, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde have another chance to trio in fordward of Real Madrid, and I think they will have to make good difference especially to win. Benzema will eventually be replaced like some of the older players.

[RILWAN]

Real Madrid's main goal at the moment is to do well in the Champions League. Winning the La Liga title is very difficult for Madrid. Because Real Madrid is 8 points behind Barcelona. Now Ancelotti will definitely want to win the Champions League title. And Benzema is now fully fit. The Madrid team is stronger when Benzema is with the squad. I think Real Madrid can win against Liverpool.

Real Madrid have been the club with the highest points for several seasons and if you follow up on how all those seasons went, real Madrid always perform in the pattern of play from the beginning but once the season is halfway to the end there will change the cause of play and end up as tge club with the highest points on the table Barcelona can not change that this season.

Real Sociedad were interestingly quite inadequate with their performance against Celta Vigo. This game should have ended up with a victory for them normally. Even the red card came in the second half didn't help Real Sociedad even secure a 1-0 win. Instead they conceded an equalizer and lost two points against a team with a red card.

I know that there is a good improvement in Celta Vigo's form recently but still this mustn't be an excuse for Real Sociedad. If they are really determined about securing a place in top 4 to the end of the season they need to win this kind of games.

[KTChampions]

It's quite funny that after getting into the Europa League, Barcelona tightened its game schedule - the break in the Champions League between games is 2 weeks, and in the games for the right to get into the 1/8 of the Europa League, only one week. But they are lucky enough that in La Liga during this period their rivals are among the weakest - Cadiz and Almeria.

After watching the Europa League between Barcelona and Manchester United I concluded that Barcelona would be the champions of La Liga. The boys are playing good football if not so Manchester United would have won Barcelona in the Europa League fixture.
I did not see any club in La Liga that is going to be a stumbling block to Barcelona apart from Real Madrid when they meet again in the coming weeks.
Cadiz will only try to share the points but it won't be possible for them.

Friend, if I'm not mistaken, right now the bookies give the odds that Barcelona will take the La Liga title is less than 1.1. There is no need to watch some games and do any analysis to understand that this is exactly what will happen. But I, as a fan of Real Madrid, will hope for the best, in the end, even in the game with United, Barcelona played much worse than the bookmakers expected.

[Pulsar77]

I think Betis weren't expecting a this much competitive match against Valladolid today. But they still won the match by 2-1 anyway of course. They are trying their best not to get away from top four. There is only a gap of one point between them and Atletico Madrid now. Their attacking effort was really incredible today. They could have scored more goals after that big pressure on the front as well. But at the same time Valladolid also found some big opportunities after it became 2-1.

Monchu could have brought one point to his team if he didn't waste two big opportunities. The first one was a lovely free-kick which came back from the post and the other one was saved amazingly by the goalkeeper.

Yes, Barcelona's main target is to win the league this season. Because if Barcelona can win the laliga then Barcelona's economic condition will get better, especially if they can win the Copa Del Rey/Europa, this can save the club from bankruptcy.

I see that Xavi has the potential to become a big coach like Pep Guardiola because both of them are former players who are intelligent on the field and when they became coaches both of them were known to be able to make smart strategies that prioritize strong defense and a variety of attacks from creative wing and midfield sectors.

Real Sociedad were interestingly quite inadequate with their performance against Celta Vigo. This game should have ended up with a victory for them normally.

No, they got what they deserved. Oyarzabal scored a great goal but they couldn't find second goal and accept the game in their side. Celta Vigo's pressure eventually worked even though it's late in extra time. Celta could even win the game if they found the equalizer earlier. When you try to play like Atletico this 1-0 score might upset you. One mistake and puff, two points gone.

[minime0105]

Match between osasuna and Real Madrid, ordinarily Real Madrid is suppose to win this match considering the good head to head record they enjoy over their opponent, despite that they have not really been in good form I consider them to be more better in terms of both form and team accuracy this season more than their rivals, despite that they have not been consistent but they have won most of their outside league matches, they are the most favourite to win this match.

It's very unfortunate for Sociedad, even though they have the opportunity to win the match even though they have the superior number of players.
But an own goal from Robin Le Normand at 90+3 made their 3 point hopes dashed in this match. even so they are still safely in position 3.
Now that Madrid are playing and the first half is going into extra time, it looks like this first half will end 0-0

[alpamar99]

Real Madrid have a match against Osasuna. I am 100% sure that Real Madrid will win this match. Because Real Madrid's performance is many times ahead of Osasuna's performance. Real Madrid is currently one of the best teams in La Liga. If Real Madrid secure victory against Osasuna, they are likely to go top of the La Liga points table.

You jokingly said they would be top if they win against Osasuna.
Their points are still too far away from Barcelona and indeed this must be a win for them so that their point difference doesn't get even further because if you look at the current conditions, their points are still too 8 points at the moment so there is no reason for them to draw or lose if still want to compete now.

Match between osasuna and Real Madrid, ordinarily Real Madrid is suppose to win this match considering the good head to head record they enjoy over their opponent, despite that they have not really been in good form I consider them to be more better in terms of both form and team accuracy this season more than their rivals, despite that they have not been consistent but they have won most of their outside league matches, they are the most favourite to win this match.

They have finished first half goalless draw, what is happening to this Real Madrid side, they have been playing badly of late, I don't expect them to draw this game, Barcelona are already running away with the Title and I expect the Real Madrid team to put a little bit of pressure on the Barcelona side, but I don't see that happening with the way they playing right now. There is still time so let's watch what can happen in the second half, but I really expect Real Madrid to go win this game.

I don't know what is the best reason to get real madrid to draw in this match against Osasuna. The first half ended in a goalless draw, it was just 0-0. Osasuna doesn't seem to be as easy as it seems to lose at home to Real Madrid, but considering that the team is much better then Osasuna's defeat looks very likely.

Real Madrid had to maximizing on their chances in the second half to win, but only if Osasuna made too many mistakes. I would definitely be happy if real Madrid lost or dropped points, but that doesn't mean the probability is higher than real Madrid winning. Osasuna didn't have many chances in the match, so did Real Madrid. But I expected the second half to score few goals regardless of whether Real Madrid won, drew or lost.

Until the minute 66, Real Madrid still cannot make any surprise to create a goal. Their performance is not as great as usual, Osasuna seems like being able to balance Real Madrid's performance, in every line. So far, Real Madrid cannot make any pressing attack against Osasuna, the ball domination is also quite the same. Well, I don't know but I really think that Real Madrid's performance without Benzema often decreases so much. Although we can also say that Benzema is not as strong as the previous season, his existence in the club when playing in the match is very influential. While Benzema is now prepared to focus on UCL next few days.

[harapan]

Osasuna have so far been the better team in this match. The Madrid attack looks toothless with Vinicius the only person playing a little bit well. Osasuna should be at least a goal up by now. The game is still open and Madrid being Madrid can score the winner at any time but I don't think Osasuna will sit back in this game.
Madrid really need the win to put some pressure, no matter how small on Barcelona. Osasuna too needs the win because it will take them to 7th position on the table and that will keep their dream of playing in Europe alive.
Madrid have more difficult fixture immediately after this so they would really like to get the full pint from this match.

Yes, Ancelotti plan seems to be quite good, Liverpool is a dangerous club that Real Madrid must watch out for in the UCL, because previously Liverpool also success it to the finals in 2022. Also Ancelotti doesn't want to see Benzema injured vs Osasuna which is currently being on going because Benzema very vulnerable to injury. The match vs Osasuna already entered the second half, in the first half both of them couldn't scored. But now Asensio has come to play as a substitute Ceballos, I hope he can scored.

The match is entering a crucial time now and Madrid are ahead by 1 goal scored by Valverde in the 78th minute.
Now, in fact, the conditions are still favorable for Madrid, but at this crucial moment I hope they add a goal because even though they did get 3 points, with only one goal, I think this is still a bit lacking for a club like Madrid.
They still have a chance, especially if you see their condition, which always scores goals in crucial minutes, it is clear that there is still a lot of hope in this match.

[dezoel]

Girona definitely had one of the most dominant games in a while, I do not remember any other 8 goals in a game this year, has there been one? Even if there was, I can't remember any right now from memory, which makes this game a bit special.

Even if you haven't watched the game itself, I highly suggest finding a good (not like 2 minute one) highlight and that way you could end up with seeing a great game. It is definitely an entertaining one, I opened it up after the second goal and still got to see so many goals. It was like defense wasn't even there for both teams, they just played offense all game and scored bunch of goals, definitely worth it.
