La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rendravolt]

Previously I had doubts that Barcelona would have difficulties against Almeria and that was not without reason because so far Barcelona have always won by a narrow score even if they have a complete main squad, but when one of the key players Pedri is injured, I think there's nothing wrong with betting handicap (1.75) in favor of Almeria. But the match I thought would end in a draw or Barcelona could win by a narrow score, but instead Almeria beat Barcelona with a score of 1-0, I was quite surprised by this result but also happy because my bet was right.

You forgot that dembele is also one of the important players who got injured. It's a big loss by barcelona but the good thing is barcelona is still having a lot of gaps with the real madrid. Glad to see that if you were making the right choice for that. I thought that if barcelona will be winning wihout any problems but secondary players like de jong, ferran torres will not able to make difference in the club. Xavi needs to think so hard about how to rotate the players to make sure barcelona will be going back again to its best performance.

The funny thing is raphinha was getting injured caused useless thing.

Barcelona forward Raphinha has been struggling with an injury after kicking a fridge in anger during the Europa League play-off clash against Manchester United earlier this month.

I haven't forgotten Dembele, it's just that I don't need to mention his name because I knew he was injured in late January. So I'll just add Pedri who has just been sidelined due to injury. For Raphina, I really don't know if she was injured due to trivial things like the information you provided.

Anyway, now there is news that it is Lewandowski's turn to suffer a hamstring injury during last night's match with Almeria. I think this is not a good thing especially in a few days there will be an El Clasico match in the Copa Del Rey Semifinals and this will definitely make Xavi confused about the formations for his players.

[hahay]

The results obtained by Barcelona were very surprising, they lost to Almeria who were in the relegation zone. I can't think that this result will come to them, because clearly on paper Barcelona is the team that should be able to win this match. They could not take advantage of the opportunity to widen the points that came to them, because in the previous game Real Madrid could only draw with Atletico Madrid. Very very unfortunate.

There are several conditions that prevent them from winning.
Several of their core players such as Raphinha, Dembele and Pedri were unable to play which indeed this is also a problem for the attack line even though their dominance is still maintained in possession.
This is indeed a surprise but seeing the gap now they can still breathe easy it's just that they can't do the same thing if they don't want to give up the title for this season.

Even though the players you mentioned cannot be played, at least you can also see the quality of the players from the line up that was implemented in that match. In fact, Barcelona still has Lewandowski and other players who also have good quality when compared to the squad that Almeria has.

So, even though Barcelona got a few injured players I don't think it will make Barcelona's performance decrease just against Almeria. Unless the opponent Barcelona is facing is Real Madrid, then losing several key players will certainly be a problem for Barcelona's performance. But at this moment, only playing against Almeria, then Barcelona should be able to score goals.

Obviously this will be a problem again for Barcelona.
It is not impossible that their condition due to the loss of several previous players during the Champions League group phase will be repeated later in terms of performance which makes it difficult for them to win.
It is certain that he will be absent when El Clasico in the Copa del Rey and of course with this Xavi needs to think more than before.

I don't think the absence of Dembele and Pedri is a valid reason to lose 3 points. There is a huge level difference. They were comfortable with the difference between them and Real Madrid. They paid the price for comfort. Football does not allow complacency. Even if you are in Barcelona, you should not break the discipline.

this is bad news for Barcelona and for Xavi

Valencia vs Real Sociedad in the Spanish league today, no one thought that Valencia would win the match between these two teams. Valencia was leading by 1 goal in 40 minutes after half time. After that, Real Sociedad could not score any more goals in the whole game. Therefore, Valencia won very easily. But in this match, Real  Sociedad were betting on support who lost the bet. Everyone thought Real Sociedad might win the match but it didn't happen.

It seems like that the trend of team with low ball possession winning the game already become a new trend. Valencia was rarely getting the ball and sociedad was always controlling the ball but valencia has managed to win from sociedad which was surprising me to be honest.

I didn't even speculate if valencia will able to make a goal to won the match against sociedad. It's also happening with barcelona and real madrid as well.
The new strategy to defeat the big is keep defending until the golden chance will come. This will be the best time to did counter attack and make goal to win the game.

Villarreal vs Getafe

Villarreal will attempts to bounce back from this match after 4 consecutive loses and indeed if we see from squad quality Villarreal is better than Getafe but Getafe recent performance were better than Villarreal and i can see big progress from them that in the last 3 matches Getafe were gets 1 wins from Valencia and draw from Atletico so this is quite better if we compared to Villarreal

From team conditions Getafe didn't have any problem because so far no players who got injured or suspension but the opposite conditions from Villarreal that i saw at least 4 players who cannot play and mostly dominated by midfielders and regarding match results after seeing the recent conditions for both of teams i think possibly the match ended with draw because in my opinion Getafe will attempts not lose especially for away matches and this options has odds @3.70

I'm not too sure about the match this time even though looking at the standings Villarreal is indeed much better than Getafe, but looking at the match they are currently running it really isn't too good to make a bet on.
Villarreal and Getafe I still feel it could be a draw. But indeed Villarreal's condition as the host must do well in this match even though this could also be a narrow victory they should be able to do that.

Bilbao lost 3-2 at home to Girona. Girona were more fortunate in the first half of the match. Bilbao players scored 2 own goals. As a result, Girona had the opportunity to close the first half 3-1 ahead. The second half was completely under Bilbao's control but they struggled to find goals. They couldn't find accuracy in their shots and had to be defeated. With this defeat they missed the opportunity to take 6th place.

I don't think the absence of Dembele and Pedri is a valid reason to lose 3 points. There is a huge level difference. They were comfortable with the difference between them and Real Madrid. They paid the price for comfort. Football does not allow complacency. Even if you are in Barcelona, you should not break the discipline.

The two missing players are really important in Barcelona's attack scheme. Losing both means a lack for Barcelona as they cannot expect other players to be as creative on the pitch. Dembele has good speed and passing accuracy, while Pedri is a player who can make the difference when building an attack. Obviously without these two players Barcelona is really difficult to build a good attack and find space to score goals, so that is one of the factors of defeat.

In the match against Almeria, Barcelona's troops were just unable to maximize their best chances to score. Meanwhile, they must be willing to let Almeria steal the goal first and defend it as best they can. Almeria's defensive strategy was good, but they were just under pressure the whole match. Luck favored Almeria, it only cost Barcelona.

Match between Real Sociedad will take place in Reale ArenaI on 03/03/2023, manol Aguacil’s Real Sociedad do appear to be tiring. The intense Basque club have started well in each of the last three season’s before fading. They have taken this year’s strong start deeper into the campaign but are beginning to struggle. The home team come into this on the back of a 1-0 defeat to struggling Valencia, making it just one win in their last six matches in all competitions. They now face a Cadiz side that begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just outside of the bottom three and the relegation places after their 1-0 win at home to Rayo Vallecano continued their improvement in form.

It is certain that he will be absent when El Clasico in the Copa del Rey and of course with this Xavi needs to think more than before.

the injury suffered by lewandowski will make barcelona's attack dull because so far he is the only striker who always looks good for Barcelona, the el clasico match in the copa del rey this time will be madrid's revenge event because they were beaten by barcelona a few weeks ago

but I'm sure Xavi will have a backup strategy as an alternative if Lewandowski can't play

[Alanaz]

Bilbao lost 3-2 at home to Girona. Girona were more fortunate in the first half of the match. Bilbao players scored 2 own goals. As a result, Girona had the opportunity to close the first half 3-1 ahead. The second half was completely under Bilbao's control but they struggled to find goals. They couldn't find accuracy in their shots and had to be defeated. With this defeat they missed the opportunity to take 6th place.

2 own goals created by Atletico Bilbao players really helped Girona so that they could bring 3 points home in their away game. In the second half, Atletico Bilbao actually tried to catch up to equalize, but Girona was able to anticipate this, making it difficult for Bilbao to score goals. Even though they were able to score 1 goal in the 89th minute, it was not enough to draw the score.

Villarreal and Getafe I still feel it could be a draw. But indeed Villarreal's condition as the host must do well in this match even though this could also be a narrow victory they should be able to do that.

A difficult match to guess, yes there is a chance for Getafe to get points with draw result because Villarreal current performance is not very good, this team have a losing streak even lose against Elche. But even so, Villarreal at home is so quite a great in 10 home games they managed to get 6 wins, even they can beat Real Madrid in January, so I think Villarreal tonight also has the possibility of getting full points.

If Barcelona loses Robert Lewandowski when playing against Real Madrid then this will be a nightmare for Barcelona because surely they will find it difficult to get a win from Real Madrid because so far Barcelona can get wins usually from the contribution of Robert Lewandowski who managed to score.

[Falconer]

The result was really unpleasant even though we did our best to win. To be honest I'm really disappointed because of this draw that we should have won, but I don't think this is the end of our struggles this season in La Liga. Real Madrid must remain optimistic about the good possibilities we can achieve for the rest of the season, and this is only so important that every player can keep his confidence in every match.

Mean while it is very unrealistic to expect Barcelona to lose and miss their good chance to win the title, I admit they have been better this season and they will do their best to keep their lead. Of course it's bad that we will be faced with 10 point gap in the standings, but that is only possibility should Barcelona win at the Municipal Stadium Mediterráneo.

Barcelona is now in a situation where it is possible to win La Liga again this season. With the existing difference in points, it is very difficult for Real Madrid to catch up with Barcelona. The reason is that with the high level of competition and the good performance shown by Barcelona it is very difficult to expect them to slip in at least 3 matches. They had realized their potential to become champions this season, so they were unlikely to miss the chance that was coming their way now. Xavi Hernandez will definitely try his best to return the trophy that has been missing from Camp Nou in recent seasons.

I know you are right, but in the end I have to be very happy for Barcelona's loss to Almeria. To be honest I'm not saying they were bad even though they lost, it was unexpected because the two teams are so different in quality.

Almeria succeeded in conquering Barcelona because of the discipline of their defenders. Then from that, Almeria also seemed successful in making the Barcelona players play wide because they did not hesitate to make physical contact when Barcelona had the ball. This is just a successful intimidation strategy because any Barcelona player must avoid unwanted injuries. Now we are 7 points away from Barcelona, ​​still quite a lot.

If Barcelona loses Robert Lewandowski when playing against Real Madrid then this will be a nightmare for Barcelona because surely they will find it difficult to get a win from Real Madrid because so far Barcelona can get wins usually from the contribution of Robert Lewandowski who managed to score.

But I hope it's not as bad as the dream we lost to them in the Super Copa final. Nobody underestimates them, but Madrid must take advantage of Barcelona's current situation.

[KTChampions]

It is rather strange that the quotes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, despite the fact that Real Madrid approached Barcelona by one point in one round, practically did not change:

Barcelona 1.10

Real Madrid 6.50

Considering that there is a personal meeting ahead and the distance can be reduced by another three points, 1.10 for the Barcelona championship looks like too unfavorable odds.

[giammangiato]

If Barcelona loses Robert Lewandowski when playing against Real Madrid then this will be a nightmare for Barcelona because surely they will find it difficult to get a win from Real Madrid because so far Barcelona can get wins usually from the contribution of Robert Lewandowski who managed to score.

Oh No! Robert! I hope he didn't get hurt, I really like this player a lot
Furthermore, it can be said that he drags the balls into the opponent's net, without him Barcelona are in serious problems, really serious!

[minime0105]

Atletico Madrid will host FC Sevilla at Wanda Metropolitano on 2023-03-04 in an interesting encounter in LaLiga. Atletico Madrid, currently sitting at 4 will be looking for important home win. FC Sevilla, on the other hand, sits in 14 of the league table and will be looking to improve their position with a win. This match will be a tough test for both teams, and it should be an exciting match to watch.

[ShowOff]

Oh No! Robert! I hope he didn't get hurt, I really like this player a lot
Furthermore, it can be said that he drags the balls into the opponent's net, without him Barcelona are in serious problems, really serious!

To be honest, Lewandowski's injury will greatly benefit the opposing team. Barcelona have lost 3 forwards so far with Dembele, Ansu Fati and Lewandowski out. I don't know for how long, and this is a big problem for the Blaugrana.

I hope this won't hurt the team's performance in the many matches to come, but losing lot of important players is complicated matter. Besides, I don't know when Pedri will return, and Lewandowski's injury is just a disaster for Barcelona.

Lewandowski injury confirmed: Lewandowski medical announcement

The FC Barcelona forward has strained his left hamstring
Robert Lewandowski has strained the biceps femoris in his left hamstring. The Polish striker is unavailable until the problem clears up.

The striker has been a key figure this season for Barça scoring 25 goals in 31 appearances so far in a blaugrana shirt.

[execijutiere]

Celta vigo took the 3 points with 3 goals. It must be said that celta vigo, who got 3 points with a dominant football at home, made a good move to get rid of the bottom. Before the match both teams had equal points and now celta vigo is in a better position.
I was surprised that Barcelona lost. It felt strange to lose away to a team like Almeria. But we can say that it was for the better, at least the points difference with real madrid didn't widen.
