La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Cadiz play host to Rayo Vallecano at their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla in the La Liga round 23. The Yellow Submarine failed to spoil Barcelona’s party at Camp Nou, but a win over Rayo should see them escape the relegation zone. Defender Alfonso Espino is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Honduras international Choco Lozano is pushing for a spot in the starting 11,  Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, but seeing that the relegation threatened hosts want this victory more than the visitors, home win should be considered. Andoni Iraola should have a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s clash. In their last meeting at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla Cadiz defeated Rayo Vallecano 2-0, and it seems that history is going to repeat itself.

Haaland has 26 goals - 11 more than Lewandowski. And if we compare City's balance of power against all other teams in the league and the same balance of power between Barcelona and all other teams, then I would say that Haaland's goals are more valuable. Even Benzema, who missed a lot of games, is only 4 goals less. In general, I think that Lewandowski performs at a high level, but not such a top one to somehow pay attention to it.

I have different opinion about Lewandowski, Benzema has less goals and yes it is mainly due to him missing so many games, but first of all missing so many games is bad for your club, which means he wasn't much of help during those games whereas Lewandowski played as many as he could.

However, Lewandowski is playing for Barcelona for the first time, it hasn't even been a year, Benzema has been there for god knows how long, of course he would play better if given chance, because he has been there for so long. Haaland on the other hand is another story, that guy is just insane, he is the greatest scorer I have ever seen and I have watched Ronaldo and Messi all my life.

It will be a long debate when comparing the 3 players. I want to focus on Erling Haaland now, yes he is doing very well this season, he has been a goal machine for the team he has represented. But I still have a question, how many seasons will he be consistent with his current form, he is still very young and to say consistent, Lewandowski and Benzema have been more consistent in staying until now even though there were seasons when they didn't perform well.

In week 22, Real Sociedad only drew against a team that is in the middle of the La Liga standings and that is Celta Vigo, while based on head to head at least Real Sociedad has good dominance when playing against Celta Vigo.
But unfortunately, at this moment Real Sociedad were basically on top form but failed to beat Celta Vigo. Obviously that is a bad result I think, because on paper Real Sociedad can get a convincing victory in that match.

[SatoPrincess]

It is expected to win the title, and so far Barcelona has the chance for 3 more titles including Europa League, La Liga and Copa Del Rey.

Surely Barcelona still have the chance to win three trophies, but the trophy i feel so sure that they will probably win is the La Liga and maybe the copa del rey, i don't think they will win the Europa league, i even feel they will be eliminated by manchester united. But Barcelona would not care if they do not win the Europa league, the title they want to win is the La Liga and they are now 8 points ahead of Real madrid in the table, and they face Madrid in the copa del rey semi final, so i don't know if they would be able to beat them, but the La Liga is in Barcelona's hands, and i feel they are going to win it.

If there is any team that is good enough to be a major hinderance to Barcelona's title chase, it is Teal Madrid but Barcelona are already 8 points clear from Real Madrid and with Barcelona's current form it will be nearly impossible for Real Madrid to cover up the gap. Barcelona are fully focused and are fully determined to win one of these trophies.

For a while I thought that Real Sociedad could be the team that surprises us all, but in the end it is the same two teams dominating La Liga. The gap between Barcelona, Madrid and then the rest is just too big. In order for La Liga to stay exciting until the very last moment it usually needs a strong Atletico Madrid. It is still fun to follow the league and see how Barcelona is doing against Real Madrid, but that becomes boring as soon as one of those two teams falters, which is now the case.

On the one hand I am happy for Barcelona to play a solid season, but on the other hand I would prefer to see Real Madrid get closer one more time for the sake of having more fun observing the battle.

Real Madrid should get an easy victory because they are playing at the place where they usually practice, Real Madrid must keep trying to catch up on the points behind Barcelona and win first place in La Liga, Benzema must continue to contribute to the match so that it is easy to win.

I don't think it will be an easy match for Real Madrid. Atletico performed well lately, they will try to steal points from Real Madrid. Although the match will be held in Santiago Bernabeu, I assume it will be a tight match. Atletico Madrid is in UCL zone now, I am pretty sure they will try all out to maintain their position in the top 4. However, I agree that Real Madrid is still the favorite team to win the match. Especially after they defeated Liverpool with big scores yesterday. Real Madrid also must have the motivation to chase Barcelona in the 1st place.

This time Sevilla are going to play against Osasuna home. This is another challenging match for Sevilla considering the situation in the standings.

Osasuna have more points than Sevilla now. But they are in a much worse form than Sevilla at the same time. Lastly they lost to Real Madrid you know. But they didn't show a bad performance there either. Sevilla need to be more careful as their defending is much worse than Osasuna's this season. Osasuna conceded 9 less goals than them. Besides Sevilla have a Europa League match as well tomorrow. Maybe they can improve their morale more by eliminating PSV but the match versus Osasuna is only three days later. We will see how tired Sevilla will be.

The Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo match ended in a draw. But I wasn't too surprised by the result. because Celta Vigo in the past few matches has indeed shown a pretty good increase in performance. even Real Betis and Athletic Club also suffered defeat by Celta vigo. However, Real Sociedad in the match against Celta vigo was indeed unable to create many dangerous opportunities for Celta vigo's goal. and it shows that Celta vigo's defense has gotten better this time around.

It won’t be as easy as you’ve said it. Remember Real Madrid are in the champions league, thanks they just won their match against Liverpool in the Champions league. The morale on the field of play in the Champions League may differ slightly from that of La Liga. Playing at their home stadium, Santiago Bernabeau, gives them an advantage, but an easy win over Atletico Madrid is not guaranteed.

How do you say Madrid will get an easy victory against Atletico? When have that fixture ever been easy? Madrid are the favorite but it wont be easy. As inconsistent as Atletico they can be a pain in the ass for Madrid. They have what it takes to deny Madrid three points. Madrid would really like to win that game because if they lose then they would be eleven points behind Barcelona. Atletico also would like to win and keep pressure on Sociedad. So its not going to be an easy match for either teams. Its going to be a very tough game.

Real Madrid cannot afford to drop points in the Madrid derby. Los Blancos must win three points to catch Barcelona. With a distance of eight points from his eternal enemy, Carlo Ancelotti's squad cannot afford to slip again if they want to maintain the chance to retain the Spanish League throne. As for Atletico Madrid, they are also hunting for victory in order to maintain the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Even though Real Madrid, who acts as the host, is superior, Atletico's strength cannot be underestimated. The Madrid Derby match will certainly always look exciting and could be very dramatic. Even if this match ends in a draw, of course Real Madrid's chances of catching Barcelona will be even more difficult.

Sevilla have been much better in the recent times. Maybe they are still struggling against the biggest teams of the league. But they are at least able to perform better in the remaining ones and they are finally getting wins as well. They need to keep this going to finish the season at a safe position in the standings too. The Europa League win should also be some help.

Osasuna are a good team but Sevilla should be able to benefit from the home advantage in this game. I think they will win this game by one goal.

You think osasuna should have an advantage on this over Sevilla??
Well, it could turn out an advantage as you said since they lost Thier last match against Madrid. Osasuna has a good coordination and Thier defensive play is captivating.
Meanwhile, Sevilla played a strong draw against rayo vallecano and that was unarguably tough with them. Sevilla is on the 12 position on the table while osasuna is holding the 10th position with a close fist... Let's see how it ends between these two rivals.
Edit: I still support the fact that osasuna will win the match since they wouldn't wanna lose their position just immediately.

They had it in a platter of Gold the last time they played, although the beginning was scary but the last minute was great for Real Madrid when everyone thought it was going to be another great tight between two the team but Real Madrid had another goal towards the ending which beautifully became 3 point instead of just 1 point.

Another thing I look forward that is giving me some confidence and validation that Real Madrid will also bag this point is that, they need this points more than ever to count to meet Barcelona and not as if right now they have any challenges, they are still looking ready to tear any team just to secure this points to get close to Barcelona before they become an impossible journey.

[YuginKadoya]

Things are quite problematic for Real Madrid in the La Liga right now. The 8-point difference is quite big to close up against a very consistent Barcelona I mean.

Real Madrid just don't have any other choice than continuing to win as many games as possible for a long time as of now. Because Barcelona literally don't lose any points here. They still win even the games in which they have big difficulties in showing their usual performance. The game against Villarreal was a great example for this surely. Real Madrid are handling the Champions League incredibly on one hand indeed. But I believe their main concentration should be on the La Liga still - at least unless the point difference gets bigger than this.

I really think they still need time for preparation and Matchday 23 is on the horizon, they need all games to win and hope that Barcelona would get a losing remark, for their point to capitalize on it, and it seems that Karim Benzema is the only one they need right now in hoping a sturdy winning, because right now Real Madrid needed all the help they can get,

This match can be much more important for Real Madrid because during this match if they lose any points their main competitor Barcelona can take more space from them and considering the recent matches Barcelona and the points they got so far I can say taking back the space between first and second position of the table can be very hard for Real Madrid. That's why Real Madrid needs to get all three points from El Derbi and considering the recent match they had against Liverpool I can say three points from El Derbi is not hard for them.

Real Madrid's next opponent is not a push Atletico Madrid can surely give them a hardtime and can also push them to make a draw so errors are not needed by Real Madrid, but if Barcelona can take this year's champion I will gladly accept it because this is the time when Barcelona acquired Robert Lewandowski this is going to be another significant year for Barcelona and for Robert Lewandowski aswell, another fruitful year on trading from Bayern Munich to Barcelona for me it is quite memorable indeed,
Because both Bundesliga players Robert Lewandowski and Erling Halaand are making an impact in both La Liga and Premier League when they shifted Club and League to make another mark on their career,

Osasuna are a good team but Sevilla should be able to benefit from the home advantage in this game. I think they will win this game by one goal.

Osasuna is a team that cannot be underestimated, but now they are in a negative trend with 5 matches without a win, while Sevilla is much better by winning 3 matches. This will be an opportunity for Sevilla to take advantage of the decline they are currently experiencing. What's more, this is Sevilla's home game, so they have an advantage over the visitors, Osasuna. I hope they can finish this game with a win.

I also don't believe that Real Sociedad can only get a draw against Celta Vigo. But I actually wanted to bet on Real Sociedad's victory, but for some reason I felt really bad before the match started in less than an hour, I finally didn't make a bet for this match and it was proven true that my feeling was not wrong, even though Real Sociedad was able to score a goal quickly in minute 5 but they couldn't add to the number of goals again in the second half and instead Celta Vigo managed to equalize until the last minute.

I don't think, Barcelona will allow anything that will make them to drop down from first position in the la Liga league competition table than to do what will make them to remain in unity to maintain the position till the end of the tournament. Despite, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 2-5 in the champion league doesn't mean they can win la Liga league title because this season is about to work for the favour of Barcelona in a way people will be surprise in their celebration soon. Real Madrid can struggle to win other titles but it will be difficult for them to win the la Liga league title because Barcelona will never allow such miracle to happen to Real Madrid.

It happened and can't be helped now because it's a fact that with an early lead and with a man count means nothing to them after an own goal and equalizer that occurred in the minute of extra time really cost them 3 points.

Now they just have to focus on facing Valencia because that is the most correct thing in my opinion rather than having to drag on with this result.

Both teams are in the same situation and both teams are not doing good so far they are in 12 and 10 of the league while Osasuna had a hard game against Real Madrid and they lost the game with a 2-0 result and Sevilla could get on point from the last game the had and during the last five games these two teams had each team got two wins and they had one draw, which makes the match hard for predict for anyone.
