La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Porfirii]

Another good opportunity to add points for Barcelona has come again. Because Valencia's performance this season has really continued to decline. Even though in the match last week Valencia was able to beat Real Sociedad dramatically. but that doesn't make Valencia the underdog in this match. Meanwhile, Barcelona are still going strong to maintain their consistency well this season. at least I predict a score of 3-1 in this match for Barcelona's advantage.

Barcelona is a football club, not a political party, but their success in La Liga seems to be a threat to some people. I mean, why else would they have such tough opponents? First Real Madrid, now Valencia? It's like they are trying to sabotage Barcelona's success. But you know what? Barcelona is not going to let anyone stop them. They will come out on top in this match, and all the haters can go find some other team to mess with. Visca el Barca!

Looking at some of the comments made by Piqué in the past about the Catalan independence, somebody might indeed think that Barcelona is a political party. Personally, I prefer Pau Gasol's style, who is also catalan, but keeps his political thoughts for himself. The opposite is adding fuel to the fire. Who knows, perhaps this controversy is interesting for the club.

Back to sports, I also think that they will end up winning La Liga, and they deserve it, no matter what the haters you mention think.

Real madrid team took control of the game against betis, they are more dangerous and they have possesion of the ball too bad for them benzema goal was disallowed due to a handball, it won't be easy to beat betis since they need points too, real madrid defense need to be carefull not to conceid  a goal since betis are a dangerous team.

Real Madrid continued to put pressure on Real Betis' goal, but Real Betis' counterattack was very dangerous. Likewise, Real Betis' defense was so neat that it was able to stop the movements of Karim Benzema and Rodrygo. There has been no gap for Real Madrid players to break into Real Betis' goal despite continuing to attack. In the last minute, Real Madrid almost conceded a goal, but the referee did not give a penalty even though Real Betis players protested. Will this match end in a draw, or on the contrary Real Madrid must go home with defeat.

Sevilla are a really interesting team this season. I mean they are playing completely different in the La Liga and Europa League.

This time they were demolished by Atletico Madrid by a 6-1 result. They are very weak against the big teams in the La Liga this season. They had a huge gap in their defense and Atletico Madrid took advantage of the goal chances very efficiently. I haven't seen them scoring this many goals in one game for a long time honestly. It was also a surprising thing to see for me. Simeone still seemed expressionless despite that huge score though.    Maybe he was also in shock to see this. Depay and Morata were amazing when it comes to scoring.

Although Real Madrid put pressure on real Betis highly, they only can give pressure, but not a high pressure that leads to the shot on target, it is really less accurate. Well, I am still sure that real Madrid will be much better in this second-half and probably will have victory. But exactly, Real Betis also has a strong defense with high counter-attacks that sometimes will make Real Madrid in a bad position. Real Madrid several times lost their point or chances because of a counter attack by the opponent.

It seems that Real Madrid will run into another loss of points today. No goals yet after an hour of football, that does not look very hopeful for the Madrilenians. Could they have already put the title out of their heads like this? By the way, Real Betis is also just neatly in 5th place, so they also have every chance to enforce qualification for the CL in this way with this standings. The mutual duel in the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will also be played soon. If Barcelona wins, the book can be closed for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid generally score at the end of the game in such situations. Real Betis have to keep their defence solid to get a point and that way, Real Madrid will make his journey very difficult in La Liga this season.
Considering the 0-0 result for the moment, Real Madrid is 9 points away from Barcelona with 14 matches left. That's not reassuring. Real Madrid have to keep winning in the remaining games including Barcelona one and wait for Barca to drop several points too..

[swogerino]

Barcelona now that is out of all the competitions is heavily focusing only on La Liga.Despite their bad run against Almeria they soon recovered by beating Real Madrid at their home in the Copa del Rey and this is a big red flag for me for Real Madrid,they already it looks like they know they can't win La Liga anymore and they are screwing up game after game,so it is wise to stop betting on them or we risk to lose money for nothing.

They are now heavily focused on the Champions League where they have high chances of going further than this stage being the favorite in the return leg against Liverpool,while Barcelona is doing their job to secure this La Liga title as soon as possible.

The match entered a crucial minute and the score was still the same nothing to change now. Honestly this is not a good thing for Madrid. Even though in this match their ball possession is very good, but still if they can't score a goal and win this match, I think the condition will clearly worsen the situation with those who cannot maintain the margin of points with Barcelona.
There are so many opportunities that are created but calves are still able to hold it with their defense which is still quite tight.

He's obviously not doing well right now, but sometimes crucial minutes are key to a Madrid win. It's been 80 minutes now and they're still doing very well in terms of their performance but they've also wasted a lot of chances in this game.
Ancelotti is still doing the same pattern as the previous few matches which makes it always easy to read especially when Betis apply a strong defensive for 1 point.
This will definitely not be good for the title race because if they can only take 1 point in this match then Barcelona will be further away.

It seems that today Real Madrid is playing at full strength, but Betis is not a weak team and there are literally 5-7 minutes before the end of the game to get a victory. It will be a pity if Real lose points today and Clasico will be meaningless. On the other hand, Real Madrid can really focus entirely on the Champions League and stop worrying about La Liga. Sometimes it’s also useful to lose in time so as not to torment yourself with worries.

It is a draw game. Good defensive game from Betis. The attack from both sides seems almost equal. But Madrid had the upper hand in ball possession. It was a tough game for Betis but they did a good job defending with the best of their might unlike Madrid who will force their opponents into conceding goals but Betis got the best in their defensive tactics.

Lucas went berserk when he was pulled out, he kicked the seat, it seems he did not accept the coach's decision to be replaced with Dani Carvajal. This match was very exciting, Real Betis' defense was very strong. They also have good pass accuracy. But this is bad for Real Madrid, several shots were taken far from the target even though Real Madrid had high ball possession. It seems that Real Madrid have no hope of lifting the LaLiga trophy this season. The points are far behind Barcelona. Barcelona continues to win in LaLiga. Claudio Bravo made an excellent save, several shots on target were saved by him. I hope Marco Asensio plays in tonight's game, but the decision is Carlo Ancelotti's. Madrid really fought for the three points tonight, but it didn't pay off. Even Vinicius got into an argument with Claudio Bravo at the last minute. The match ended in a draw.

[visionE2]

The trainer capitalizes on the performance of the individual players' skills, once an under-performing player is not replaced, there is no other strategy. It's surprising that Carlo Ancelotti is very afraid of backing up Vini, he loves Benzema and Vini too much, they have never played badly, they have never been sub-subsidised, so there is no motivation to work hard, because they know they are playing badly, they will not be replaced. it was Asensio warming up from the start of the second half but not playing.

Lucas Vazquez has all the right to be upset for that decision i personally find him a better player and perform way better than Dani Carvajal that we saw his mistakes in the match. To be honest Real Madrid bad situation now it’s due the coach as he couldn’t find the good strategy to make the team play as a team and manage to show a great difference or attack lines. Ancelotti should stop training the team from now IMO matches like these with small teams he couldn’t score. And what’s even worse is that Real Madrid has the best player on the world right now i bet if any other good coach has much choices as him we going to see great and better results.
Now Barcelona is taking more advantage and making the gap wider between them. 80% or more chance that Barcelona will take LaLiga this year

[LGD2Business]

Real Madrid pushed hard but couldn't score. Betis defended well and gained 1 point. Benzema's free kick goal was great, but because the ball hit Rüdiger's hand, VAR canceled the goal. It's not enough to play well all the time, it's necessary to score goals. If you fail to do this, you cannot get 3 points.
Although it was a goalless match, it was a high pleasure to watch. It was definitely not a boring match. Especially the last minutes were very exciting.
Before the match, I thought about taking the over 2.5 goals bet, but then I decided not to play. Good thing I didn't bet on that.
Real Madrid fell further behind in the title race. Barcelona made 9 points gap and reached a comfortable position. After that, Real Madrid didn't have the luxury of losing points.

[Doell]

Congrats for Real Betis which has been successful in playing very well against Real Madrid and they can get one point, and that point will be very important for Real Betis because their current target is fourth place. It seem Real Betis will also be able to maximize their gameplay on next match against Villarreal, hopefully. But Real Betis must fly to Old Trafford and play against Manchester United at there first, because the europa league schedule is already available for them.

[Velvet78]

Barcelona have increased the point gap more with Real Madrid and consolidated their lead. It was a really valuable win for Barcelona against Valencia.

Actually I didn't like Barcelona very much in this game. Because they were unable to make their opponent accept their usual game plan. There was quite a balance during the game but still it wasn't a hindrance for Barcelona to win by one goal. Maybe they could have scored more goals if they had Lewandowski on the field. On the other hand Real Madrid played superior to Betis but the game still ended up with a 0-0 draw. This means the gap is 9 points now and Barcelona are one more step closer to the title.

With the unfavorable results received by Madrid in this match, it is clear that they have the upper hand now.
Conditions are currently not favorable to Madrid and they must move quickly now. Ancelotti needs to change the scheme that they always run at this time because waiting and going all out in the last 20 minutes is now not very effective.

The two teams played very well because both ended in draws, and this match showed that Real Betis had almost the same strength as Real Madrid, even though Karim Benzema had contributed on the field but still could not break the Real Betis defense. Real Betis should maintain this strategy to fight the next big team that may be difficult to beat.

It's strange how Real Madrid weren't able to score even one goal, considering that Betis have had 11 goals in the last 5 matches, and Madrid's offensive line was complete. Indeed, when a team plays to achieve a draw, it is different from when they play a competitive match, and it seems Betis were convinced to earn only one point, although they play at home. Obviously, Real Madrid have put themselves in a bad situation with regards to La Liga.
