La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Porfirii]

do not underestimate Athletic Bilbao, they can surprise Barcelona for sure, but speaking on the winner of La liga, Barca seem to be so close that i could say they won it, before even the season ends, they already have a foot in and Real Madrid are not showing a good pace so far.

Even though Athletic Bilbao won the match, it did not affect Barcelona being at the top of the table. The difference of 9 points is a big number. The team seems to be comfortable in their respective positions, and it is difficult to pursue positions above.

Real Madrid still has a chance to win the Spanish league, but, as the weeks go by, their odds shrink by leaps and bounds. They are focused in the Champions League and nobody should put the blame on them for it, but let's see how this ends.

On the other hand, Barça already won the Spanish Supercup and has a good chance to win the Copa del Rey and La Liga. The distribution seems quite fair.

And last, but not least, Athletic de Bilbao needs the points to recover from the loss after the World Cup and play in the European competitions next year, so next match against Barcelona will be exciting. Besides, both teams might meet again in the Copa del Rey final, so it will serve as a warm-up for both.

Barcelona caoch Xavi must have a good focus on the Laliga because that is the only trophy for now that he could look unto and smile at and have a great conviction to soldier on.
Altletic bilbao is not a conder for the title and does not win always but they have the capability of making you not to win. But we have nothing to bother about because even Barcelona rivalry is not serious to overtake Barcelona.

It depends on the Copa del Rey. If Real Madrid fall out of the Copa del Rey, they will focus on LaLiga and UCL. For now Real Madrid has a busy schedule, so their performance has decreased. They are too tired for every week.

We didn't see many goals in yesterday's games, but there were important matches and results that will affect the course of the league. Barcelona beat Valencia 1-0 at home.  Barcelona managed to break Valencia's resistance by scoring an early goal, but couldn't reflect this in the second half. A missed penalty early in the second half and a red card afterwards left Valencia in control of the game. But Valencia couldn't find a goal and the match ended 1-0.
The other important match of the day was real Madrid, who drew away to betis. With this loss, the point difference with Barcelona increased to 9 points. It would have been better for them if they had won this match. Betis are a team in form and they play well. It was also difficult to beat them at home and real madrid couldn't do it.

Honestly, even with the red card, Barcelona managed to get the win and that's what matters. They are still 9 points ahead and that's all they need, we have like 14 more games left, so 9 points is not a huge deal, there are total of 42 points that could be collected, in which case we all know no team will get 42 points from them, but we need to look at 9 point difference for Real to win, like maybe 25 to 34?

Unlikely for Barcelona to get 25 out of 42, but that could be a possibility, max is Barcelona getting 34 points out of 42, if they do that then Real can't win, and I think that's not impossible neither, but assuming Barcelona to lose 9 points more than Real would, is even more unlikely.

[Silence Scream]

The La Liga is the biggest tournament Barcelona have in their hands from now on. Their main target is to win the league title no matter what and they are very good at it so far.

Their next game is going to be an away one against Athletic Bilbao. Athletic Bilbao are in bad shape so they wouldn't be a big obstacle for Barcelona. I'm just not happy with the current situation in the league. Because I was expecting to see a big fight between Barcelona and Real Madrid until the end of the season. But Barcelona look like they have finished the season early.

Real Betis' 1 point from Real Madrid made Barcelona happy the most.  Barcelona is focused on the championship in la liga, and they know how to use Real Madrid's double trophy to their advantage.  If Barcelona continues unscathed, Real Madrid will only be second at the end of the season.  In this case, if there is a champions league championship, la liga second place will not be a problem.

I think for now, they have to look at all the competitions.
They have got a supercopa trophy and now they are superior to the aggregate with Madrid Copa del Rey for La Liga there is no doubt about their condition now.
This is clearly very profitable for them in any competition they are doing now so there is no reason for them to only focus on La Liga because they can now get 3 trophies.

Barcelona did well from this match, because Valencia players really prepared well to disgrace Barcelona by reducing their points but Barcelona coach never allow such thing to happen than to make use of the players that know how to work hard to achieve early goals to start the match. They succeeded to scored one goal in the first half that made them to do everything possible within their power to maintain the one goal till the end of the match, that made people to rate them well. Real Madrid didn't display well in the first half, because Betis players really understood the tactics Real Madrid players were using at the moment that made the match to ended up draw.

Last night game was a tough one, I expected to see more goals but it turned out both teams came with a defensive strategy. Barcelona were able to score just a goal and focused on defending their goal for the rest of the game. It was an exciting match, even though the goals were not there. The most important thing is Barcelona winning the game and extending their lead to 9 points clear off Real Madrid who failed to win their game.

Barcelona can still win the copa del rey, though the La Liga title is a better one for them to win, and i believe it is possible for them to win the two titles. Xavi did not do well in the European competitions this season after being eliminated from the champions league and Europa league, but i am sure the fans will forgive him and forget about that if they win the La Liga, and they have a very good chance of doing so, Real madrid are 9 points behind, so if Barcelona continue to be consistent, they would win the title. They can win the copa del rey too, they already beat Real madrid in the first leg of the semi final, and a draw is okay for them in the second leg to move to the final.

However, on the other hand this is also a bit inconvenient where their current condition is that many players are definitely absent due to injury and with Araujo's red card this makes them lose more players.
Even though from a positive point of view they can safely be in the top position at the moment, with the lack of players, Xavi still has to rack his brains.

The next game against Real Madrid in Copa del Rey is half of the trophy. If they win that game they are the absolute in favorite in the final round. I know you should not estimate any opponent in the final as they have made their way through as well and eliminated a lot of good teams along the way, but you can't get any closer to the trophy once you eliminated Real Madrid in the semi finals.

In La Liga Barcelona can now only lose anymore. With so many points between them and Real Madrid, there are no excuses anymore should they not win the title in the end. Xavi is safe no matter what. I think even if he doesn't win the Copa del Rey, his position is firmly accepted within the club.

The only problem they are going to face for next season is the suspension from buying new players. Offensively they are ok if most of the players are available and fit, but they might want to watch out for one or two strong guys during the next transfer period. But perhaps they are not allowed to do so. Time will tell in the next few months.

True! Barcelona have a firm opportunity to win the LaLiga trophy this season. Barcelona have been showing better performances in the league than in European competitions, Real Madrid have also not been consistent in the La Liga which gives Barcelona an upper hand at the trophy this season.

Not sure why you bring Real Madrid when uchegod-21 just talking about Barcelona. Though, that's a lame excuse by saying you can finally focus on a competition if you fail the other one. You play in multiple games at once because you have capability and well-deep squad for that.

[Distraction]

Atletico Madrid have made a really good improvement recently. There is a very visible progress in their latest results in the league.

Especially the win against Sevilla by an amazing score like 6-1 was incredible to watch. It was the most productive match for Atletico Madrid in this season that's for certain. Even Simeone seemed really surprised with this effort and result. This win has helped them capture the third position in the standings also. Because Real Sociedad have been the opposite of them and have lost many points. The gap was big between them actually but Atletico Madrid were lucky that Real Sociedad started a bad form.

True! Barcelona have a firm opportunity to win the LaLiga trophy this season. Barcelona have been showing better performances in the league than in European competitions, Real Madrid have also not been consistent in the La Liga which gives Barcelona an upper hand at the trophy this season.

Standing with 9 point is a big conviction they will lift the trophy. And if they also succeed in defeating Real Madrid in the second leg of Copa del Rey semi-finals they will still increase their chance of winning that as well. With Super Copa de Espania, the league title and Copa del Rey in their bag Xavi won't end the season completely empty.

Barcelona is the most consistent club in the La liga as it stands with the least loss and draws. 24 games with 20 wins, 2 draws and 2 loss is a good stat compared to that of their biggest rival. Xavi has done excellently well in the La Liga just that he could not extend that beyond the spanish league.

[kawetsriyanto]

Indeed. Barcelona is the favorite team to win La Liga trophy now. They only focus on La Liga only now, they no longer have international competitions like UCL or Europa League. While Real Madrid is still playing in UCL and they seem to qualify for the next round. So, the focus of Real Madrid will be divided into two big competitions (La Liga and UCL). In this situation, Real Madrid players also have more chances to feel tired and even get injured. While Barcelona players will be easier to keep their fitness since they only play in the local league. That's why Barcelona players can maintain their good performance in La Liga.

The last game to be played this round was between Osasuna and Celta Vigo...

I think a draw is probable here unless big mistakes.

And indeed the game between Osasuna and Celta Vigo ended with a draw as expected. Osasuna might look to play better but in the end, they just got 1 point.

Atletico Madrid have made a really good improvement recently. There is a very visible progress in their latest results in the league.

Do not focus much on one game played by ATM to confirm their improvement. It has been a while where ATM is fluctuating much. They have good players and an old school coach, yet they still miss points. Scoring 6 goals was good but it doesn't look far from Liverpool victory with 7 goals vs ManU. It might happen but will not definitely happen again that way.

True but it's good for real madrid to cut the gap although it will not so big. I don't even think if bilbao will able to win the game. seeing from the last performance by barcelona and that makes me feel comfort to pick it.
Bilbao may able to prevent barcelona to get full points but as you said that barcelona just like have some lives to be tried to get la liga's title. 9 points gap is really big. It's not even 9 but 4 points are also very big if the club like barcelona keeps winning the game until the end of season. We are becoming even closer to the end of season. Real madrid is only able to wait for that to happen. Barcelona may or may not be losing more points until the end of season.

Madrid needs miracle to take la liga.

Atletico Madrid took advantage of this best moment to score a lot of goals, Atletico Madrid knew that this was a good opportunity to get a high-scoring victory. Memphis Depay and Álvaro Morata managed to contribute by giving two goals, and with Atletico Madrid's win in this match, they are in the top three at the top of the standings.

Those are the kind of things one should expect from football. It used to be at thing commonly done by real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester city in England. But now,  neither Madrid nor Barcelona now have much anxiety to go for the 4th or 5th goal if 3 goal is already recorded.  They play a relaxed and comfortable football throughout the remaining minutes. It is only Bayern that still keep such spirit. I was surprised i at the same time impressed at ATM's goal rate in that match.

Atletico Madrid's performance in this match impressed everyone. We know that Sevilla was a weak team. And we were sure that Atletico Madrid would get 3 points. But Atletico Madrid will score 6 goals, it is probably not imagined by anyone. In fact, Atletico Madrid's attack is not very strong. Atlético Madrid has not managed to score more than one goal in every match before this match.

Atletico Madrid's players dominated from the first half. And so it became easier for them to score. However, if Sevilla's players were confident, Atletico would not have scored so many goals. Sevilla's coach should try to boost the confidence of the players.

[Litzki1990]

Brazilian star Raphinha scored the only goal against Valencia in La Liga (16'). Barcelona is having a great season in La Liga with the maximum number of points, Barcelona is at the top of the points table so far. Barcelona have fully regained the form they lost in the middle period. Every star of the team is now contributing to the team's victory by scoring regularly.  Barcelona have one more match against Athletic Club on March 13. Hope Barcelona win that match.
