La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Sterbens]

Barcelona's 13 points gap at the top of the league have been cut down to 11 after their draw against Getafe. Barcelona have been in a very poor form lately. I don't think Barcelona will loose the league but this their current form can put them in a lot of pressure. From where I'm sitting, they will continue on this their poor form until their players that are injured return.
They played better against Getafe than they did against Girona. 
This is the first time this season that Barcelona have gone three straight matches without a win in all competitions. A lost against Madrid in the Copa del Rey and two draws in the league.
Barcelona needs to sit up so they don't find themselves in a difficult situation. 

11 points ahead of Real Madrid, in my opinion, this is still good enough for Barcelona. Because at least Real Madrid must be able to win 4 matches first if they want to catch up. Even though his performance looked better against Getafe, if we look at the results it seems that this is still the same against Girona. I wonder what's wrong with Barcelona now, they couldn't even score a single goal against Girona and Getafe, both of which are in the relegation zone. Previously I thought that Barcelona would easily win the match against these two teams, but it turned out that my prediction was too optimistic.

Maybe this is one of the significant impacts of the injuries to their important players, next week Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid, I doubt Barcelona can win this game without important players who are injured.

If you are 11 points ahead of Real Madrid, it is impossible to say that you have had a mediocre season. But I think a lot of people like to see Barcelona play total football, with a lot of combinations and a lot of pressure. And nice goals. But Messi, Iniesta and Xavi are no longer playing. So you can no longer make the comparison with that Barcelona. Barcelona have become champions convincingly and simply, assuming that the title is a matter of time. They have won many matches with minimal numbers, but conceding few goals is also a quality. Real Madrid have had a lot more problems defensively this season.

[imamusma]

Injury has put Barcelona in a poor form recently, we see how they lost their match today against Getafe. There have begin to lose points,but I don't thing that it will be possible for Real Madrid to catch up with them on the league.

I just hope that with this their present form they would be able to win few matches not only draws or loses,if not it will not tell good about Xavi. Barcelona played better than Gadef but Getafe didn't give them the opportunity to net the post.

Getafe played very defensively at home today, so of course that has made it difficult for Barcelona to score goals. Lewandowski had several chances, so did Raphinha and several other players, but they were countered by the good performance of Getafe goalkeeper, Soria. I agree that injury problems meant that Xavi had to rely on a few subs to play an active part in the game. Pedri, Dembele and De Jong are still injured and of course that comes at a cost when the rest of the players are not at their best.

So far Barcelona have not scored a single goal in 3 consecutive matches including the second leg of the Copa Del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid. Their goalscoring faucet seems locked, so of course that leaves the Barcelona manager struggling to come up with a solution. La Liga is getting closer to the end, but if Xavi is still struggling to find solutions then I think his chances winning of title will be even lower.

Most likely this match doesn't mean a lot to Barcelona, because they seem to be slackening their efforts as they have a comfortable points gap with Real Madrid. On the other hand, Getafe are searching for every point that can get them far from the relegation zone, so they have achieved a convincing result today against the leader of the standings table. However, Barcelona has another competition with Real Madrid on the level of the top scorer, Lewandowski has been the top scorer till now, but Benzema is only 3 goals behind him. That explains why Xavi didn't replace him. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to score in this match.

[RaltcoinsB]

Again and again Barcelona failed to get three points against teams in the bottom zone, or maybe Xavi is making some tactical and strategic experiments that are still not optimal in these two easy matches. I don't understand what happened, because even though Barcelona are relatively safe at the top of the La Liga standings, but Barcelona shouldn't have failed to win because in this match Barcelona only played against mediocre teams.

Lewandowsi also doesn't seem to have a big effort to score many goals in every Barcelona match, so it is difficult for Barcelona to take advantage of the opportunities they get to score a goal. Indeed, it doesn't matter because Barcelona still won 1 point, but if results like this continue then of course Barcelona are experiencing problems in their performance.

Even though with this draw the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is still very far, I agree with what you said that if Barcelona continues to show this kind of performance, it's not impossible that they will start to slip in the next game. It is true that Xavi is trying a new experiment in his formation. This can be seen in one of his players, Alejandro Balde, who fills the left winger position, even though this position is usually filled by Gavi, but Gavi, who has several positions, is placed in the midfielder this time. But it seems that the strategy did not go smoothly and instead they are very difficult to score goals.

In fact, Barcelona also found opportunities, but Getafe defended very well and managed to avoid conceding a goal.  Despite the unexpected loss of points from Barcelona, ​​they are still far ahead of Real Madrid.  They are not in a position to jeopardize their league leadership.

What we should also not forget is that Barcelona played this match when there was actually nothing more at stake. The prizes in the competition for the champion have already been distributed, so Barcelona sees no reason to put everything on the championship in this competition. If Barcelona should have won this game with, say, a 1 point lead, then you get a completely different game and maybe we will see 0-4 on the scoreboard after 90 minutes.

11 points is a distance that will be very difficult to cover. Because Real Madrid also depends on the outcome of the match from Barcelona. Let's just say Real madrid wiped out the remaining matches with a win. But at the same time Real Madrid must see Barcelona lose at least 4 matches. The question is will Barcelona let them lose those 4 matches? obviously they didn't want that to happen. Even if bad luck befalls Barcelona, the chance to see that happen is very small.

2 draws in a row is not a good result for them. Before I took their draw last week as normal, but when they drew again I started to think that they were in a bit of trouble here. What I regret about Barcelona is that they always dominate the game, but they struggle to score goals. Once again this must be corrected by Xavi Hernandez to make them even more effective in carrying out attacks. A lot of possession is a very good thing, but it's a shame when they can't use that to score goals.

[Zackgeno96]

Barcelona gives little priority to the competition. The season is actually already over for these players. Trying to keep players fit and hoping that no nasty injuries come along. That's the only thing to hope for in Barcelona. Normally they would still participate in a European tournament, but there too they are all eliminated this year. real Madrid still have a few games to play to keep rhythm for the CL, in which they are also not sure of progressing to the next round.

[izsara]

70 minutes of running time and Madrid still can't score a single goal against Cadiz in this ongoing match.
The conditions are still a bit understandable when they do some rotations in this match but of course they have to do it with at least 1 goal in this match to continue to maintain their position in position 2.

No one expected that goalkeeper David Gil's performance was so good that he could block several shots from Real Madrid players in the first half, Real Madrid were almost frustrated by him. But Real Madrid appeared very dominant in the second half. In fact, in several moments, Carlo Ancelotti's troops seemed to be playing half the field. It's just, they are difficult to score goals. In the end Madrid were able to wrap up the three points, after Nacho Fernandez and Marco Asensio were only able to score in the second half in the 72nd and 76th minutes in a short space of time, I thought the score would be a draw but unfortunately Cadiz had to admit that Madrid is a great club.

Madrid was able to pick points perfectly from this match so they could maintain their position in second place in the standings. at least I didn't lose the bet on this match because it was frustrating to see Madrid having trouble scoring a goal until 70 minutes.  

After a few minutes I wrote, they immediately scored 2 goals from Nacho and Asensio in a span of 4 minutes.
Well this is to be expected because at least with some rotations they did they still got 3 points and my bet also goes well in this game

If Barcelona begins performing so bad I'm not sure if they will lose up to four games.  Barcelona has already worked so hard laliga is coming to them this season.  Barcelona having more  gap should not make them too relax , they still need to perform will in games to be played left for the season.

Barcelona did not have a creative midfielder against Getafe, Xavi had difficulty rotating players due to injuries to Pedri and De Jong which affected the strength of Barcelona's midfield to dominate the match. Busquets and Franck Kessie didn't perform at their best in this match, so there weren't many measurable passes that could be given to the attackers. Getafe's defense was so defensive that it made it difficult for Barcelona to attack.

Barcelona's next match will face Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou, Atletico Madrid's record in La Liga is quite impressive, they haven't lost any of the previous 13 matches, the last time they lost was against Barcelona at home. This match will be even more difficult for Xavi if Pedri, De Jong and Dembele are unable to play.

[Doell]

-snip-

Barcelona really struggled to beat Getafe, but I wouldn't be surprised if this game ended in a goalless draw. Getafe was so disciplined in defending its defensive area that in the end it made it difficult for Barcelona to score goals. David Soria's performance is also good, he managed to make some important saves for Getefe today.

Of course this draw is a loss on Barcelona's part as this is their second draw in 2 consecutive matches. Now the distance between Barcelona and Real Madrid is only 11 points, still relatively safe, but of course Real Madrid can threaten if Barcelona doesn't improve in the next few matches.

Getafe didn't let Barcelona get full points in that match, considering that they are also currently very close to the relegation zone in terms of points, but to be honest I was personally very surprised to see Getafe today they are really good performance against a team which is currently in first place. Difference is 11 points in their remaining 9 matches, I don't think it's too big a problem for Barcelona and yes they are still relatively safe, because 11 points is enough far gap for Real Madrid to catch up. But yes you're right, Barcelona must improve because if they don't get three points in next few matches, it opens the gate for Real Madrid to fly a little closer with them.

By the way now Valencia they are struggled to get points from Sevilla, these both teams are quite equal in the first half and ended with a score of 0-0 on halftime. Statistically the home team are slightly better, but I hope both them can scored in second half.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Atletico Madrid had a really comfortable game against Almeria today. The result was 2-1 maybe but this shouldn't be misleading.

Because Atletico Madrid found so many goal chances and this score could have been much bigger for them. They had 2 shots coming back from the goal post also. Correa tried some kind of a classy goal while it was 1-0 but he couldn't find the target. He could have scored easier if he didn't make such attempt of course and this cost them conceding a goal later. But still this was an easy game for Atletico Madrid and they won anyway. The first goal was thanks to a really good corner-kick organization by the way. I liked Griezmann's effort a lot today.

Barcelona's 13 points gap at the top of the league have been cut down to 11 after their draw against Getafe. Barcelona have been in a very poor form lately. I don't think Barcelona will loose the league but this their current form can put them in a lot of pressure. From where I'm sitting, they will continue on this their poor form until their players that are injured return.
They played better against Getafe than they did against Girona.  
This is the first time this season that Barcelona have gone three straight matches without a win in all competitions. A lost against Madrid in the Copa del Rey and two draws in the league.
Barcelona needs to sit up so they don't find themselves in a difficult situation.

As far as Barcelona still has an 11 point advantage over Real Madrid in La Liga, then a draw in the last 2 matches in my opinion is not a big problem. Of course Xavi was hoping for a win from Girona and Getafe, but both teams looked very confident to defend and didn't leave room for the Barcelona players to look for goals. In the end, the plan of the two coaches was quite good. Yes, at least 1 point is expected in the match against Barcelona.

Barcelona's chances of securing the title are still very big, but Xavi also needs to ask his players to appear more motivated for the rest of the season to put up a good record. I believe Barcelona will solve the problem about their ineffective performance, which means they have to win in their next match against Atletico Madrid.

Atlético Madrid did not perform badly. But the opponent Almeria is a weak team. I expected a more composed performance from Atletico Madrid against them. Atletico Madrid attacked a lot. However, they won 2-1 against Almeria. Almeria's attack was weak. Also, they don't attack much. The team made only three shots. In the meantime, they managed to score a big goal in the net of Atlético Madrid. Atlético Madrid's defense needs some strengthening. However, if the defenders performed a little more carefully in today's match, maybe the Atletico Madrid team would not have conceded a goal.

The battle for relegation looks quite strange this year in La Liga as I am watching live Valencia vs Sevilla in which Sevilla just scored to open the game and was one of the most bizarre goals but it was a good one,nothing was incorrect in this goal and the game needed it.I just find it strange that Valencia is already relegated if the La Liga was to end tonight and Sevilla is not that far away although this goal and this win if they keep it until the end of the night it will give them a calm that they will be a bit far from relegation.

Now the referee screw it up even more badly after the VAR showed it was a clear hand ball and the referee did not gave it,it is pathetic how this type of referees are never banned from FIFA,I am not fan of any team and I am talking objectively so this referee is a complete idiot in the true meaning of the word.

[Bananington]

Barcelona have failed to win in 2 consecutive weeks and they are still lucky because their rivals Real Madrid also had bad results, at this time Barcelona seems to have no one to rival for the La Liga title this season, they lead by far points in the current La Liga standings with 9 the remaining matches there is no doubt that they can win the league even though their performance is currently in decline.
but the La Liga title is the only likely title for them to win of course they won't miss it.

With every game they loose, Real Madrid gets closer, and although Real Madrid have not been good in the La Liga, If Barcelona keep dropping points, they will give Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid the idea that they can still catch up. It is another disappointing game for Lewandoski who is on a personal run right now to remain the highest goal scorer in the Spanish league but has not scored in the last two games they have played.

[ShowOff]

I really didn't succeed Barcelona failed to win the match against Getafe today, but things didn't go according to plan.
All the players were very frustrated because Getafe played very defensively, which made Barcelona not find a goal until the match ended. Dembele and Pedri's injuries have left Xavi without options as they struggle to find goals, which is Barcelona's current loss. But I'm grateful that Barcelona didn't lose and didn't concede today either.

The next match is difficult, Barcelona will be against Atletico Madrid who just won their match against Almeria today. Atletico Madrid's form has improved, they are consistent, they can threaten, but I'm sure Barcelona can avoid defeat especially because they are playing at Camp Nou.

[Prince Malik]

Valencia team are putting themselves in a very complicated situation after today's lose, they was very lucky because almeria also lost their match and the gap still 3 points, they will play away against elche in the next match and they should definitely get the 3 points otherwise their chances to escape the relegation will be low

[Balmain]

Barcelona lost points today, there is not much problem with the leadership for now, the difference is still 11 points, but if they rely on this and sit back, things can get into trouble in the last moments. The team behind Real Madrid will not forgive the mistake, this team will close the point gap immediately. It is very interesting not to score a goal against a very bad team like Getafe with such a rich and powerful team. This year's Barcelona was not on a straight line.
