La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Raflesia]

Atletico Madrid still does not have immunity at their present spot, they can be displaced if they are not maintaining their winnings as they did in recent times. Anything is possible in football, and if they relax and Real Sociedad wins all their games, the situation will be the opposite. Still, Atletico Madrid has a better match for future success over Real Sociedad if their past performances are to be put into consideration.

The difference of 6 points from Sociedad and 9 points from Betis is of course comfortable for them to be in 3rd position. I think there is hope for them to stay in that position until the end especially seeing their rivals Sociedad, Betis and Villarreal are all still not will be able to overtake now especially Atletico are always in the best condition when the League towards the end of the season.
Now what I'm focusing on is actually not for the 3rd position because it will already be owned by Atletico but now the 4th position is still quite vulnerable and now we have 3 candidates who are suitable to be in that position.

Atletico Madrid have indeed continued to maintain their current consistency very well. I even believe that in the next match Atletico will still be able to win. even the difference in points with Real Madrid is getting thinner. so that Real Madrid also cannot be complacent and must continue to defend their victory. because the difference of 5 points with Atletico Madrid is not a big difference.

Actually, for now Atletico is indeed maintaining a trend where they continue to secure a position in the top 3. But for the sake of achievement they are still there and they will still be difficult to overtake Madrid no matter what.
Atletico, Barcelona and Madrid have always been the top teams in La Liga but still in this case the clear order is Atletico in 3rd place. Even though for the previous few seasons they always put real pressure on and even won La Liga once too but for now not possible and they can only be in the top 3 and that is something that is absolutely certain.

only 5 points difference from Real Madrid and if Atletico Madrid can continue to maintain consistency then it is not impossible that they will be able to catch up and occupy 2nd place in the standings.
but I think the top La Liga teams don't seem to have too much desire if they don't compete to be champions.
like Real Madrid, they will find it very difficult to catch Barcelona at the top of the standings and maybe because of that it makes their focus and desire to watch La Liga matches not as passionate as before, maybe Real Madrid will focus on the European stage and Atletico could take advantage of that to be able to finish in 2nd place in the final La Liga standings.

[G_Besar]

The second leg of the Real Madrid - Barcelona matchup in the Copa del Rey is nearly upon us. Barcelona surprised me by winning in the first leg despite its being an away game.

I think this win will be a really big advantage for them in Camp Nou as well. Barcelona already beat them once in this stadium before. Maybe Real Madrid scored first but Barcelona made a really great comeback. Maybe we can watch a similar scenario here as well. I don't think Barcelona would play more complacent here. Because they would have done it in the first leg already then. But they played with their main players instead and fought for the win hard. Barcelona can eliminate them.

I don't think, Barcelona will make mistake in this match for Real Madrid to defeat them because the first leg really made people to believed that Barcelona are stronger than Real Madrid for the victory they got from Real Madrid. Despite, Real Madrid defeated Real Valladolid doesn't mean they will defeat Barcelona because Barcelona players are well organized to make it happen again by winning the match with many goals to maintain their position. I believe, the match is going to be a tough match but Barcelona will definitely embrace victory at the end, because they will not allow Karim Benzema to display his tactics in this match.

This season Barcelona is so powerful in La Liga and able to dominate the victory over Real Madrid. For el real, the opportunity to avenge the series of defeats received from elbarca is only in the second leg later. But that mission will of course be very difficult considering that Barcelona is playing at Camp Nou. In addition, with a 1-0 win in leg 1, of course Xavi will not play defensively, the target of qualifying for the final is an absolute target for Xavi to present a double winner to the Catalan team.

The rivalry between these two teams certainly will not disappear. There will always be debate between the two. Because even if they fail in the Champions League, prestige in the domestic league will be more important for these two teams.

[Alanaz]

Real Madrid are currently focusing on two league titles at the same time, despite some poor matches in La Liga. Real Madrid are trying hard to secure victory in the Champions League and their biggest obstacle in La Liga is Barcelona.

Especially for La Liga, to focus on stay in the current position yeah I agree, but to focus on take Barcelona's position at the top, I don't think so
This season's situation does not allow Real Madrid to do what they did last season to bring home two titles at once
Barcelona will ensure the La Liga title for them this season, it is comparable to their performance in La Liga

I agree with you that it is very unlikely to take over the place now occupied by Barcelona, even though they consistently won 3 points from every game, but it requires a role from Barcelona who must lose points from their matches, even at least Barcelona must lose 4 times match, it's a number I think it's going to be hard to look at.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid will be in the top three of the points table, it is absolutely certain. However, it is not yet certain which team will occupy the fourth place in the table. Real Sociedad, Real Betis and Villarreal are the three teams with equal chances to finish fourth in the table.

Villarreal is my favourite team for fourth place in the table. I think Villarreal has the best chance of finishing fourth in the table. Sociedad and Betis are ahead though. But their performance is not regular. Sociedad has won just one of their last 5 matches and Real Betis have won just two. On the other hand, compared to these two teams, Villarreal's performance is very good. Villarreal has won 4 of their last 5 matches. Villarreal can qualify for the Champions League if they continue with such a consistent performance.

Atletico madrid was able to keep their distance from the 4th ranked team with a wide difference of 6 points. I think their ranking will be safe enough for a while if they are able to maintain concentration in the upcoming matches.  Rankings 1 and 2 are also unlikely to change as Barcelona as a whole they are the frontrunners for the Laliga title whereas real madrid they will maintain their ranking as best they can for the remainder of the season.

There is only strong competition in 4th place because Real Sociedad is not safe enough for them to secure 4th place because the point width with Betis is only 3 points, of course anything can happen if Sociedad loses in the upcoming matches

[Porfirii]

Although not many people is talking about this, today the 2nd leg of the Copa del Rey between Athletic de Bilbao and Osasuna will be held in San Mamés stadium.

Athletic Club is the 2nd team in victories (23 titles) in this competition, only behind Barça (30), but it is also the team who lost most finals of the Cup ever, last time in 2021 when they were defeated twice in the same month because 2020's final was postponed due to Covid. In addition, they haven't won this competition since 1984, so the fans are eager to win the trophy again after such a long time.

It won't be easy to get to the final though, because they are already a goal behind from the 1st leg. But it will be a beautiful match to see. There is more life beyond the Clásico that everybody is talking about.

I think that match will be like the first leg; no much goals. Both teams don't score much in matches like this.
I tip Bilboa to win but I can't say for certain if they will qualify for the final. Osasuna on the other hand can be very defensive when they have to. Bilboa will press more while Osasuna will hold on and try to make use of the counter when they get the chance. They cant press too much because Bilboa have very fast players up front that can hurt you on the counter.
I believe the match is going to be more interesting than the first leg because most teams will lie to give their all since its the last leg and final chance to get to the final.

I think Atletico Madrid have a chance of competing with Real Madrid for second place in the standings, because Real Madrid are more focused on the Champions League, because in La Liga Barcelona are guaranteed winners. But if Real Madrid continue to play in the Champions League, they will surely make mistakes in La Liga, which could be a chance for Atletico Madrid.

I agree with you that it will be much more interesting that the first leg, especially taking into account that the first match was played in El Sadar, while this one will be disputed in San Mamés, which is known to be one of the toughest stadiums to play as a visitor in the national competitions.

I also think that Bilbao has more chances to win, despite they lost the first leg. Let's see. We will comment again after the match. Whatever happens, today's winner will play the final versus Madrid or Barcelona.

[rendravolt]

He is still sharp like before, and with this brace, Lewa is still showing his performance like he played on Bundesliga. And we know with his age, we doubt he can't do and create the same achievement, and all those assumptions have faded with 17 goals. Before starting. I guessed that Benzema is a person who is decisive in the Liga, but he turned out to be no better than Lewa. the reality is a Benzema light has faded by the old player.

Lewandowski can be next Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo who can play well after their 35s and at highest level in Europe. Lewandowski actually receives good support from his young team mates and since the past season, Barcelona bought some good swing backs who can provide more cross passes to Lewandowski who is sensitive with space and chance in the box.

It's true that with an old age, Lewandowski can still show his best game and he is now on the same level as the two players. What is clear is that as long as he gets a supply of balls from his colleagues who are quite young, he will not bother looking for the ball. We know Lewandowski has a killer finish and it will be very useful if he continues to get spoiled passes from his Barcelona teammates.

The sad thing about La Liga is two best players in La Liga both are getting old they won't show the same performance soon because of their age. Robert Lewandowski is still a good player but Xavi should start thinking about a young player to replace him since replacing a player for Lewandowski will take time for any team Benzema got an even worst situation and he is not the same Benzema we saw last season.

For some points I agree with what you say. in particular, that Osasuna will play more defensively and counterattack if they have the chance. So, theoretically that in this fight Bilboa will control the game. I mean, the home team will dominate the ball possession. So, what I consider is whether Bilboa is able to create many opportunities in this match. because if you refer to the first leg, Bilboa always finds it difficult to create many opportunities. because of that too, I agree that this fight will not produce many goals.

On the other hand, I see that Osasuna did not let the home team dictate the course of this match. that means, they will also provide quite a fierce resistance. however, as Osasuna had an aggregate advantage in the first leg. at the very least, they would play more cautiously. even so, I suspect that this fight will end in a draw or Osasuna can steal the gap and win this fight.

Apart from all that, if we refer to the available odds, it seems that the probability of winning for Bilbao is quite large. even so, I'm more interested in taking risks and choosing to bet on Osasuna with quite tempting odds.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

What is clear is that the two teams know each other both in terms of tactics and player character. So maybe there are some surprises to be expected from that semifinal even though there is a possibility of a draw in my opinion. I only believe Barcelona will try to get a goal to increase the chances of qualifying for the final, but I also think Real Madrid has learned a lot from its last few El Clasico defeats from Barcelona.

Xavi has proven that beating Real Madrid both home and away is possible, even when Barcelona lose control of their game. While in the last EL Clasico, Barcelona also managed to look stunning with a win and good game control. Camp Nou will be a witness, Barcelona needs supporters to increase the team's confidence. Even if you don't think so, but let's look forward to it.

Both teams are in good form ahead of El Clasiko, so there will be some surprises in store for the match, it looks like Rudiger and Ferland Mendy are out of the game due to minor injuries, while the currently available player is Alaba, so far Ancelotti prefers Rudiger at centre-back to help out in defense and Camavinga will replace Mendy. If it is true that the two players fail to appear then Real Madrid's defense will experience a little rotation and it is likely that Ancelotti will have to maximize the midfield.

Head to Head in the last five matches Barcelona has excelled and this will be a big capital for them, plus the match will take place at Camp Nou. But if you look at the readiness of the two, Real Madrid also has the opportunity to turn things around and will secure victory while ensuring qualification for the final. I'm sure Ancelotti will surprise this match and hope it will be a tense match.

Barcelona has played well in every match against Madrid since Xavi took over as Barcelona's coach. Barcelona won the first leg of the Copa del Rey even without their leading scorer Lewandowski in their squad. Barcelona's gameplay was steady. The players are very confident now. Barcelona's defense is also strong now. If Barcelona's attacking players Lewa and Rafinha can play well against Madrid then I guess the Barcelona team can win again against Madrid.

Robert Lewandowski is still a good player but Xavi should start thinking about a young player to replace him since replacing a player for Lewandowski will take time for any team Benzema got an even worst situation and he is not the same Benzema we saw last season.

All of the players will become even older and it can't be avoided. That's why regeneration is a must to make sure there will be so many young talented players to come as replacements for the old players. If you are a fan of those players and it's very hard to accept it but this is reality. There is so many legends that has gone. The new seeds were just coming to become another legend again. There will always be legends that will be born in any era of football.

That's why real madrid was aiming to get a good striker as a replacement for lewandowski. Lewandowski has become one of main attackers in madrid but he also becomes even older.
The club needs to find someone who will able to replace him as a striker in real madrid and osimhen is the answer.

Basically, Barcelona certainly has a better chance of still winning in this second leg, or just playing defensively is enough for Barcelona to maintain the aggregate victory it has. But yes, because Real Madrid is a top team which of course has many ways to rise, so Real Madrid will still have the chance to win too even though these results will certainly be difficult to obtain.

Apart from that, if I consider the odds factor given by the bookies, then Real Madrid still looks to be able to play well in this match. Therefore, it is not surprising that Real Madrid will be able to turn things around but for me personally, I still believe that Barcelona is indeed better at this moment.

Replacing those two players will be very difficult for any football club considering what they've individually achieved in club football but that being said I think Barcelona will have a much harder issues in replacing Lewandowski than Real Madrid will experience in replacing Benzema. Real Madrid's current squad is a mixture of few veteran players and many young stars which makes it easier to replace Benzema by signing a young and brilliant no.9 striker who can easily adapt to the team's style

[skarais]

It's impossible for Barcelona to do something stupid like that, maintaining the top of the standings is their priority to win the La Liga title. Real Madrid will continue to chase Barcelona even though the points deficit is very far away, but Barcelona will try to make Real Madrid's efforts in vain by continuing to collect points in every game. La Liga still has 11 games left, Barcelona just needs to be consistent in the next few games to ensure a first place finish.
The super good performance shown by Real Madrid when they beat Valladolid must be maintained until the end of the season, even though Madrid failed to catch up with Barcelona in the title race, Real Madrid was able to secure second place from Atletico's pursuit.

I know some people still hope that Barcelona fail to win the title this season and Real Madrid, who are already 12 points behind, step on the gas and win the title. I don't know, I don't think it makes sense even if it's mathematically possible, but it all depends on Barcelona's form for the rest of the season.

Barcelona still has the chance to lose few points, especially if they fail to maintain their good performance so far. The match against Atletico Madrid will probably be the toughest, but it is played at the Spotify Camp Nou which will also benefit Barcelona. There are 11 matches still remain, 6 of which will be played at the Spotify Camp Nou and 5 match away from home.

I'm sure Ancelotti will surprise this match and hope it will be a tense match.

Both teams had chances to qualify, but either way Barcelona had the advantage actually work in their favor. Barcelona just need to avoid defeat to qualify, either they can draw or they also hope to win. I'm not going to put Real Madrid ahead especially because of the second leg at Spotify Camp Nou, they have proven a lot this season especially against La Liga sides including Real Madrid.

Robert Lewandowski is still a good player but Xavi should start thinking about a young player to replace him since replacing a player for Lewandowski will take time for any team Benzema got an even worst situation and he is not the same Benzema we saw last season.

Two veteran strikers will face each other again in the second leg of the copa del rey in a few days and we will again see the heat of El Classico take place, even though the two main players barcelona and madrid are quite old but both of them are still able to show pretty good performance so far, for barcelona, I think they are not too bothered if they lose their main striker because they still have a lot of young strikers who are very talented, but it's not like Madrid who only have Rodrygo and Vinicius as alternatives, that's why Madrid is currently quite intensively looking for young players, especially those who play as a striker who will indeed be plotted as the main replacement for Benzema when he retires or is injured.

That's why real madrid was aiming to get a good striker as a replacement for lewandowski. Lewandowski has become one of main attackers in madrid but he also becomes even older.
The club needs to find someone who will able to replace him as a striker in real madrid and osimhen is the answer.

you mean maybe benzema not lewandowski, because right now lewandowski is playing for barcelona not madrid bro.
