La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[judas]

The first half was quite interesting indeed. Almeria somehow finished it up by 1-0 ahead despite Barcelona's dominance. I mean Barcelona are playing their usual game with a high percentage of ball possession. But their main problems is with not being able to find the target. There are 4 shots and none of them is on target currently. While they have Lewandowski on the field this shouldn't happen actually. But I believe Xavi will warn the players about this and they will be back stronger in the second half.

I expect a goal contribution by Lewandowski surely. He is their biggest card like he is in every single match. They have a big chance ahead to increase the point gap with Real Madrid to 10. They should take it.

[LUCKMCFLY]

That seems to be another expensive loss of points for Real Madrid in its home game against Atletico Madrid. Atletico are ahead with a few minutes to play. Who knows what is still possible for Atletico. Championship is in if Baracelona also wins this weekend. Then the lead is 11 points, then you can see how fast things have gone after the winter break. They stand for a cartload of points. And good for Atletico's confidence to win at city rivals Real. Real Madrid were in pretty good shape, so this defeat will feel totally unexpected.

Honestly, after seeing the Real Madrid versus Liverpool game and how Real Madrid made a incredible comeback and scored 5 goals I expected Madrid to score a lot of goals against Atletico Madrid but the result was disappointing. Real Madrid were sloppy and conceded a goal to fall behind but luckily were able to secure one back to finish the game in a draw. Now Barcelona have another opportunity to increase their lead tomorrow.

Well, I think that Ancelotti is playing it here, he is betting that he can bring the "orejona", he knows that if he brings that cup it will be erased that he lost the League, a trophy like that is much more important for Real Madrid than the The league itself, the league is difficult to take away from Barcelona, but it's not impossible, also as you say, when he played with Liverpool he came from behind 5 goals, and although each game is different and cannot be compared, I think Ancelotti is not leaving to risk their players getting injured in the League. The next game against Liverpool anything could happen, any result can happen.


Xabi Alonso and Juventus give Liverpool hope as Jürgen Klopp has Real Madrid template

As Liverpool suffered what feels like an insurmountable defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday night, it feels like Jürgen Klopp's dream of helping the Reds return back to Istanbul 18 years on from one indelible night in Champions League history is all but over.

Carlo Ancelotti, who just seems to get the better of Klopp every single time, will remember that game well. It feels like the rest of his career, ever since suffering that defeat at the hands of Liverpool, has been designed to thwart the Reds as much as possible.

From the subsequent 2006/07 final in Athens to Paris last season and even getting big results against Liverpool with Real Madrid, Napoli and Everton as well, Ancelotti has been a common foe.

Despite Barcelona being in such good form, they are one goal behind in the match so far. It will be really bad for the team if they lose this match today. Barcelona's opposition will now play the highest defensive, while Barca will have to do something great in attack.

[hahay]

Wow, Almeria leads with a score of 1-0 from the 24th minute, previously Almeria was in the relegation zone but if Almeria can maintain this advantage then of course Almeria can get out of the relegation zone for a while. But what is really surprising is that the opponent Almeria is facing is Barcelona, which basically Barcelona this season in La Liga has had a very extraordinary performance.

In fact, Barcelona at this moment will only focus on La Liga because Barcelona has been eliminated from the Europa League. But with no more pressure as before, Barcelona actually got a bad result in this away match against Almeria. It's true that the match isn't over yet, but I don't think Barcelona need a long time just to reply to goals or score goals against Almeria.

It is really strange that Barcelona is playing this bad against a team who just last week conceded 6 goals against Girona,this time though Almeria is only defending well and the players of Barcelona looks like are frustrated as so far they have not created any real opportunity for goal as I am watching the game live.I placed a bet on them right now to win the game at odd 3 but it is just for fun because judging by their way of playing is going to be a lost game for them and at the best maybe is going to be a draw during this game,victory for Barcelona right now looks so far away.

Almeria is currently too strong in defense, Barcelona players find it difficult to get many opportunities in this match. Previously Barcelona failed to qualify for the 16 finals in the Europa league, I'm afraid that has made the confidence of the Barcelona players decrease, so that they are inconsistent again in getting three points. But I hope you're right Barcelona no need a long time to scored, because this match is about to end.

That is the weirdest thing ever,they conceded 9 goals in their last 2 games and they are the second worse defense of La Liga after Elche which is the team that conceded the most goals.Barcelona not playing like they usually do and trying to play with long cross in the Almeria defense which is not working,it is very strange seeing a Barcelona not scoring goals when they only have done so in the beginning of the La Liga against Rayo Vallecano,then they scored in 21 consecutive games and now they are not scoring against one of the worse defenses of La Liga,something is clearly wrong here.

[Zackgeno96]

Another small result today for Barcelona, but this time a loss. That will feel sour. Think it has to do with the elimination in the EL, in which United were too good. Barcelona still the top favorite to become champion. 7 points ahead of Real Madrid may still be a lot. But it could also have turned out very differently if Real had not equalized very late yesterday and Barcelona had won this. Then you would have had a lead of 11 points. But that doesn't count. Barcelona must quickly forget this and simply win next week. Everbody can lose a game.

It sounds quite strange, because you get the feeling that Barcelona is incredibly dependent on Lewandowski. They can play without him, the result won't change. He was on the field today and what changed? They still couldn't score, what's the problem then? I think they were not built for this game at all, that's all.

When Almeria broke Barcelona winning trend that's where the surprise happened. Well, Almeria, which previously occupied the relegation zone, was able to surprise the public by defeating the La Liga giants with a score of 1-0. This defeat was also very painful for Barcelona because previously they had just fallen in the European league after being defeated by Manchester United.

I think many bettors have bad luck if they choose to bet on Barcelona win. Well that's football when a low ranked team is able to beat a top ranked team in the standings. This defeat also did not have a negative impact on Barcelona ranking in the standings table because Barcelona is still 7 points ahead of their closest rival.

[Balmain]

Barcelona took the first shot on goal in the 80th minute. After this minute, Barcelona came a few more times, but they could not find the only goal they were looking for. With this defeat, the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona fell to seven. This defeat, while Barcelona seems relieved, assuming that they were eliminated from UEFA. The results on paper started not going well for the targets. It is really interesting that such a strong offensive team could not shoot a single accurate shot into the goal until the eighty minute.

I just missed this match because I didn't think that Almeria had any chances in this match, but now after the victory they got out of the relegation zone and they took away 3 points from Barcelona. Now Real Madrid probably regrets even more that they did not manage to beat Atletico. An unexpected outcome, especially since Barcelona had a lot of time to rectify the situation.

They have a big chance ahead to increase the point gap with Real Madrid to 10. They should take it.

Wow, that was a good match, but I thought that having players with good material, and the team that is currently performing well, will lead this match and make the point difference farther from their subordinates, but it's a shame they can't do it perfectly, they really needed this win to create a point difference with the second standings further away, and what is happening now is that they have lost this one good opportunity, ending up losing to Barcelona and Almeria actually provided an opportunity for Real Madrid to shorten the points gap with him.

Almeria was quite good tonight, they were able to beat the top of the standings with a score of 1-0 which was created in the first half in the 24th minute, not only were they able to defend it, I saw that Almeria's defense was quite good at dealing with attacks from Barcelona. in this match they couldn't do it in the sense that they couldn't create a 1o point gap with Real Madrid.

very much surprised after I saw the result of this game and I have no idea how this happened to Barcelona today Almeria is on the 15th of the table and they couldn't bear Barcelona normally, during this season Barcelona just lost one game and maybe the reason of why they lost this game is the last game they had against Manchester United which had the bad effect of the team atmosphere.

Very surprisingly, Barcelona lost the match against Almeria. The deadlock was broken in the 24th minute of the match. And that was the only goal scored in this match. Barcelona had a lot of chances to go ahead in this match, not only level the score. But Barcelona was unable to actually capitalize on those chances. It was actually a little disappointing to see Robert Lewandowski not having any effect in this match. At least from the scoring standpoint. He needs to score for Barcelona to be successful.

Barcelona where looking tired from the game they played Manchester United in the midweek, Barcelona don't have anything to be scared about, they are leading the Spanish Laliga with good points, no club to put them under pressure, Real Madrid that is suppose to drew there game last night, so this loose doesn't take anything from Barcelona, Barcelona are already the favourite to win the league with the points they are topping Real Madrid with who are second in the League.

The most difficult matches that Barcelona or Real Madrid play are the matches against the teams that fight to stay in La Liga next season. Almeria is one of them. It was very unfortunate for Barcelona to receive an early goal, as well as wasting a lot of scoring opportunities in both halves. Today's goal was the first goal Barcelona received in the last four rounds. Nonetheless, this result will restore the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and keep the enthusiasm up until the next La Liga Clasico.

I didn't expect to see Barcelona losing vs Almeria even if it was 1-0..
The defeat they got in Europa League impacted the team? They resisted pretty much vs ManU there before failing..
Almeria defence was good in this match and Barcelona were clueless. Another upset before Copa del Rey vs Real Madrid this Thursday. The points difference are 7 between these two teams.

Barcelona is just normal team that is just lucky to find themselves in the top of their league. This is another disappointing game loosing to a team that are number fifteen on the Spanish table after their Europa league defeat to Manchester United. This league is the only competition that they have a chance of winning this season, the need to shake off the losses and remain focused till the end of the season. To Almeria, It is a big win for them that gives them further hope of not being the team to be relegated at the end of the season.

The loss may have deterred them, but not significantly, as they remain comfortably ahead in the standings. Could their elimination from the Europa League still haunt them? I suppose that isn't the case today in this game, even though they are still upset about that match. They played a good game today regardless of the odds, and I'm confident they'll do better in their next La Liga match against Valencia.

This week's Copa del Rey game pits them against Real Madrid, the league's leading contender. I'm confident they'll be extra prepared for this match and go for the win; I don't doubt their ability because I know they'll deliver even with a big team like Real Madrid.
