La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Rockstarguy]

Just after the game finished many Real Madrid fans started attacking Barcelona because of their playing style they said Barcelona was defending during the game all the time and they didn't deserve victory at all because Real Madrid was controlling the game more than Barcelona and unlike other El Clasico we usually saw real Madrid had more successful passes comparing to Barcelona while the most important thing is the result this game is which Barcelona could bear Real Madrid even without players like Lewandowski and Perdi.

It is quite strange t know the fact because this is football where the coach must consider what will happen and what is best for their team at that time. And Barcelona has done their best tactic by playing more defense because they are aware that at that time they have weaker attacking lines because of the absences of several key players. And they deserve the victory because of Real Madrid's mistake. I don't know why Real Madrid only played the ball possession but they are not playing high attack from the beginning. This is such a very disappointing result of the El Classico match

Barcelona just play in the best way that can lead them to victory. I think Barcelona already understand Real Madrid very well and the of playing that will be easy for them to defeat Real Madrid. So surprising that in as much Real Madrid played well and more impressive than Barcelona they still could not win the game. The defensive patter Barcelona used in the game was the reason of victory for them.

Unfortunately, Real Sociedad couldn't get full points because it ended with a draw, It seems Atletico Madrid will benefit from this result.

a bit of a shame because Real Sociedad really often miss chances to score, even though they had quite a few. Here, Cadiz's defense was really able to withstand the various attacks carried out by Real Sociedad very well.

Real Madrid made some mistakes, and Barcelona is very lucky at that time with OG which leads them. However, it is true that Barcelona may focus more on defending than attacking. Real Madrid must fix this situation and they must try harder in the second leg that will be held in Camp Nou later.

Yes Real Sociedad had around 73% ball possession, 27% more passing accuracy and way more attempts but they just couldn't score. That is not exactly the best preparation you can get when you are about to be against Roma in the Europa League.

In La Liga they will have a couple of mediocre opponents over the next few weeks and if they want to remain a contender for the Champions League, they need to win those games. That is why this is rather a loss today than a draw. Those are the points you want to win because that's the easiest way to defend your rank.

But this was of course not the only surprise this evening. The world of soccer had some unexpected outcomes to offer.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game

Getafe CF VS Girona FC - DRAW

The stake odds for this game are 2.80 for Getafe 3.00 for a draw and 2.85 for Girona, for this game Getafe  doesn't have any injuries, while Alexander Callens, Yangel Herrera, and Ibrahima Kebe can not play for Girona, and Yan Couto is doubtful if he can play for Girona it seems that this match could be even, or it could be a draw for some reason, so I think I would go with a draw

UD Almeria VS Villarreal CF

The stake odds for this game are 3.40 for Almeria 3.65 for a draw and 2.12 for Villarreal, Right now there are no injuries for Almeria while Francis Coquelin has an ACL injury,
Nicolas Jackson has a Hamstring and is doubtful if he can play, while Manu Trigueros is Straight red and can not play 1 game, for this match even though there are some injuries and 1 red card for Villarreal, I think that Villarreal may have a chance in gaining a win so my pick is Villarreal CF,

[vennali]

Surprising to see Real Madrid to have ZERO shots on target against Barcelona. Even though they managed to keep 65 percent of the possession for the match. In the end, an own goal decided their fate but its incredible effort from Barcelona to keep a team like Real Madrid to not even get a single shot on target.

[samcoin]

Real Sociedad have been really bad for three weeks and this is just helping Atletico Madrid catch up with them.

Unfortunately, teams like Sociedad and Betis and few others cant't keep on the same performance throughout the whole season, maybe because the physical factor plays a role here, and they don't have a lot of money to bring players with higher quality.

The point gap has even dropped to 2 points only now. Atletico Madrid made use of the time period really efficiently and here we are. Even Real Sociedad's presence in top four can be under threat if they maintain this bad form longer. Atletico Madrid have a big chance ahead to get past them in the standings now by the way. I assume they would manage to beat Sevilla home and take the third position.

Although this match used to be a strong one in La Liga, Sevilla seems much different this season, as they have been struggling since the beginning, and they are still threatened of falling to the second league. On the other hand, Atletico looks like they improved a bit recently after a series of bad results.

[TopT3ns]

Unfortunately, Real Sociedad couldn't get full points because it ended with a draw, It seems Atletico Madrid will benefit from this result. Cadiz also lucky they very great to get one points from this match, and with this result Cadiz can break Real Sociedad good record winning streak in head to head. Statistically this game Real Sociedad is better in ball possession and also some of their opportunity, but Cadiz really could make a surprise.

In tonight's match, Real Sociedad is likely to get a win, even if only by a very narrow score. I'm sure they will try to win against Cadiz, because so far, Cadiz have only won in a few matches, and they are the only team that is in the top 14 from the top of the standings, so supposedly Real Sociedad will be superior and easier to win.

In the end, an own goal decided their fate but its incredible effort from Barcelona to keep a team like Real Madrid to not even get a single shot on target.

Crazy match and strange to see barcelona to play like a bunch of cowards ... having 1 goal and pretty often delayed the game with xavi strange tiki-taka , just funny to witnessed it , the very unusual display from xavi .. very much like mourinho playing style in this game.

There is second leg ahead for real madrid to make a comeback though.

[Velvet78]

I feel like it is really difficult to see Real Madrid gaining with Barcelona too much to take the lead from them and win the league title.

Because Barcelona are still able to keep the gap between them quite balanced. I don't think they would maintain a very bad form in the league while their main focus is on there already. After a break of a few years in the league Barcelona finally have a big chance to become the champions. They wouldn't gave it away easily. Their simple mistakes are happening less often than Real Madrid during the season.

Luka modric needs to be replaced. he had a good chance but he was not able to do final execution. His shot was not even on target. Barcelona has got less ball possession but it was able to give the same pressure through the use counter attack. The goal that happened with madrid was caused by own goal. Barcelona and madrid played equally in the last match of copa del rey. Benzema tried to make a goal but it was getting annulled due to the off side. Some players like modric get older. It can be seen from his performance in the last match against barcelona was not so good.

I hope that real madrid will consider bellingham as a replacement for modric. Real betis gonna be a very hard game for madrid for sure. Betis is now placed in the top 5 under atletico madrid. The draw may become the outcome of the match.
Madrid needs to perform better than when it was against barcelona in previous match. Madrid is always facing hard way to make goal once its opponent used fully defensive strategy.

Luka Modric is helpful for Real Madrid if they use him appropriately. They can not use Modric like when he was young, because at his 37 age, he is no longer able to play 90 minutes for all matches. In World Cup 2022, he still played well but Croatia had to replace him by younger midfielders in some matches. Modric can be useful if Real Madrid plan to use him only one half of each match and in future, he will more probably stay on bench at match debuts and only join if Real Madric need big changes in attacking.

Bellingham is a box-to-box midfielder and he is not a play maker like Modric. I am not sure that Real Madrid actually need Bellingham as they have Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde in midfield. However, it's difficult to find good play maker like Modric in modern football. Such players now barely appear and I have not seen any young player has potential to become new Modric.

In the end, an own goal decided their fate but its incredible effort from Barcelona to keep a team like Real Madrid to not even get a single shot on target.

We saw Real Madrid's dominance throughout the match. Real Madrid players had 65% of the ball possession. Besides, they attacked a lot. Madrid had 13 shots in the entire match. But they can't be made any on-target shots. The performance of Barcelona's defenders was outstanding in this match. I would say that Barcelona was able to win at the Santiago Bernabeu only because of the excellent performance of the defenders. Barcelona won but their performance was poor. Xavi was tactical in this match. Perhaps his aim was to draw the away match. But Barcelona is lucky. They managed to win.

I have the exact opposite opinion of you.
Despite turning 37 years old, Luka Modric is still showing high form and is an irreplaceable pillar at Real Madrid. While at the same age, many other class players have gradually lost their peak form, typically Ronaldo and even Messi. But that does not seem to happen with the Croatian midfielder, Modric still played the full 90 minutes in the matches and did not show any fatigue, did not fall behind. At the last World Cup, Luka Modric made a great contribution to helping Croatia win tickets to the semi-finals.

With his form intact and not looking "old", Modric is too deserving of a new contract at the Bernabeu, not a replacement.

I agree with you, majority of players at his age completely lost their format and this happen with almost all football players but we can see that modric still doing very well, a New contract will be a good decision in my opinion and the team will surely not regret it

Barcelona is the best team in La Liga. The team players have been able to strengthen the base of the team tremendously. Besides, the coach of the team, Xavi, is taking the team forward by arranging extraordinary talents.

I'm sure they will try to win against Cadiz, because so far, Cadiz have only won in a few matches, and they are the only team that is in the top 14 from the top of the standings, so supposedly Real Sociedad will be superior and easier to win.

Sociedad gets draw against cadiz which is a shame for a club that has been dominating the match with 73% ball possessions. The fact is that ball possessions meant nothing these days and i have learned how efficient the attack will be playing bigger in determining how many goals that will be able to be made. Sociedad has been trying so hard and it has been making so many shots but only two shots were on target.

real sociedad failed to steal fuill points from weak team as it's making so many inefficient attack against cadiz which is always doing defense. What a very bad result for sociedad. Im really disappointed with the result.

[bering]

-snip-

Real Sociedad is the third team in the league and they are currently one of the best teams in La Liga. There is an important match that is going to take place tonight between Real Sociedad and Cadiz. Technically, Real Sociedad has a better chance than Cadiz, mostly because of the recent performance that we saw from Real Sociedad compared to Cadiz. In addition, if you take a look at the last five games between Real Sociedad and Cadiz, Real Sociedad won all of them.

Unfortunately, Real Sociedad couldn't get full points because it ended with a draw, It seems Atletico Madrid will benefit from this result. Cadiz also lucky they very great to get one points from this match, and with this result Cadiz can break Real Sociedad good record winning streak in head to head. Statistically this game Real Sociedad is better in ball possession and also some of their opportunity, but Cadiz really could make a surprise.

Sociedad only can able to dominate the match but there were no good opportunities to scores goals even in the second half Cadiz almost to scored goal but it was only hitting the crossbar and i don't know why Sociedad always be repeating their mistakes for every seasons that they have a habit always be performing poor and cannot managed their consistency if the league almost reach to end of season

Sociedad only can able to earn 2 points from 3 matches and their position on standings league are really in danger because possibly Atletico Madrid can overtake their position if they can overcomes Sevilla today

Barcelona will not give out their opportunity of becoming the La Liga champions once again.
If they would want to do it is not at this time that they are already close to Success.
The major factor that can make Barcelona to lose the title race to Real Madrid is injury.
But looking at the current squad of Barcelona, you will understand that almost all the players are available.

This will rather make it difficult for Real Madrid to penetrate.
Real Madrid should simply taking the Champions League and forget about the La Liga which Xavi has worked for

Barcelona players are not available. Most of their best players are out injured. They are without Lewandoski, Dembele, Pedri, Christensen and Gavi for the match against Valencia tomorrow due to a suspension. They are just seven points ahead of Madrid at the moment and a loss to Valencia will reduce that to four points if Madrid wins against Betis. Now here is the tricky part, Barca will play Bilboa next and we all know how much of a pain in the ass Bilboa can be to Barcelona. After Bilboa they will play Real Madrid. So if Barcelona don't handle the next three matches they have very well they could find themselves just one point ahead of Madrid or worst, below Madrid. They can only hope for Madrid to keep been inconsistent in the league.

I don't know what to think of Real Madrid after they lost the last Elclassico with Barcelona but looking at the first and second leg, I think it's a settled match since Real Madrid won the first leg while Barcelona won the second leg both away matches, how hilarious this turned out.
Real Madrid should be able to win against Betis because Fekir would be absent in that match and looking at their recent matches, they are lagging behind and that should secure 3 point for Madrid if they are serious. However, the question is, will Barcelona afloat in one place to see Real Madrid comes close to them, they will likely win Valencia even as their good squad is injured.
