La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

With the return of the missing players and the fact of playing home in Camp Nou could push Barcelona to perform better and try to get 3 points from Atletico Madrid.
ATM are particularly hard opponent for big teams. In the last two face to face, Barcelona were the winner but before that ATM won twice and they have a draw once.
So far the result is in favour of Barcelona but we all can imagine how Simeone will play in that game, I mean full defence and counter attack probably.

Barcelona - Atletico Madrid can be nice to watch if especially Barcelona don't play the same as their previous two games in the league.

I know none of these teams has an aim to achieve from now on. I mean Barcelona have a league title goal of course but they are already comfortable to get it anyway. As for Atletico Madrid they will qualify for the Champions League groups most probably. Therefore we might not watch a game as solid as their previous head-to-head game. I hope I will be wrong and we can watch a competitive and not boring game. Depay will also play against his previous team so I wonder how ambitious he would be.

In the Spanish League Celta Vigo vs Mallorca match between two teams, Mallorca scored 1 goal in the first 21 minutes. After that, the players of both teams tried hard to score but to no avail. I enjoyed the game from the beginning to the end. Celta Vigo team players  Received 1 red card at the end of the game. Celta Vigo team players could not score any goal after playing very well.

Celta vigo was sluggish at finishing. They had pretty chances than Mallorca who became the winner in that match. I was so annoyed to watch them possess every angle of the game without getting a single goal. some days in football are like that, but I'm still disappointed in them cuz some like this is a result of bad game plan. I didn't really see the need of starting Seferovic and Miguel Rodriguez, this two guys' contribution in the game was so Miniature. May be in the next match, Carvahal will see the need to start Perez.

Unexpected result , despite celta vigo dominating the whole match , mallorca did it very well to defend the leading till the end of the match , i was expecting a goal galore match like 4 goals for both sides , but damn mallorca win it in style 0-1 away and successfully takeover the celta previous position at 11th.

Celta vigo too much wasting chances in this match.

I keep wondering if Is this the way Barcelona intends to win the LaLiga title (drawing games that would give them points)? They have currently played three straight games without a victory, all with unsuccessful outcomes of scoring not even a goal. They appear to have forgotten that by losing easy matches, a big opponent like Real Madrid is inching closer to them in the league table.
Between Real Madrid and Barcelona, there is an 11-point difference. Real Madrid is at an advantage over Barcelona each time they draw or lose in some of their matches.

It's to Barcelona to take a seat right away because they have an upcoming match against Athletic Madrid.

Barcelona seem to have gotten too relaxed which would be a very wrong move. They should not be distracted from the race to win the league. I had thought they would be real focused on winning the rest of their games and finish in first place with a considerable difference in points from the second place team.

Real Madrid that’s currently in second place is no small team and definitely a threat to Barcelona winning the league. If Barcelona either loses or draw more of their upcoming games, there is the chance of Real Madrid catching up and possibly overtaking then at the head of the table. Real Madrid is a strong and headstrong team. Barcelona should have to do much better if they actually want to win the league.

Two games without scoring for barcelona team, they wasted four points on easy games but thanks to the huge lead they have it was not important but i assume a lot of gamblers lost money because of that it seems that by securing the title already the players are going easy and their games are high stakes anymore which is why the performance downgraded xavi need a solution to motivate his players.

Agreed and usually Xavi's bosses would discuss whether he is the right coach for the team or not. Even if you fail in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League / Europa League, you still have the obligation to play as good as you can. It is exactly as you say, they currently look as if they don't care at all anymore. Real Madrid is also not pushing them and so it's ok if they tie a game here and there, not score any goals anymore and then that's it. They have to change things and I think Xavi shouldn't be satisfied either with how they play in La Liga.

[TopT3ns]

It took a long time for Benzema to achieve the good he is seeing now. He had also been in a difficult situation a few years ago. But thanks to his hard work he managed to return to his best game and became a mainstay at Real Madrid. Likewise, now Real Madrid must look for players who have the potential and are also willing to work hard to achieve what they want. With hard work anything will become possible, because no matter how good a player is if he doesn't want to work hard they will sink very quickly. Actually Real Madrid have several players as strong as they are at the moment, but for now they cannot replace benzema.

Benzema's injury is not easy to heal right away; it still requires the recovery process and will likely take a very long time because at this time he is sometimes still forced to take to the field to contribute and support Real Madrid's game, so he can't focus on his recovery. Benzema must have time to focus on the recovery process and return to being a better player when fully recovered.

This match will be more interesting if I say so. I mean that Atletico Madrid want to show their best quality in the match and maybe they even have a target, namely wanting to shift Real Madrid ranking from second place if they can win this match. But for barcelona they have shown a difficult performance to win the match in their last two matches, maybe this is the comeback that Xavi is focused on.

Apart from that, Barcelona, ​​if they want to lock in the title early, they have to look for victory in this match, even for the upcoming matches, they will focus on winning so that the achievement can be closed perfectly.

To be honest, Xavi had hard days in Barcelona for this reason and he was not lucky at all because during this season he couldn't use Perdi and Dembele in many games while according to some other news, Sergi Roberto can't help his team until the end of this season because of a hamstring injury and the sad thing is Frenkie de Jong is still injured and Barcelona got problems about midfielders.

Yes, I agree with you both teams are both in a safe zone from the target so I think the two teams might draw and share the points
Apart from that Barcelona and Atletico do not have any other scheduled matches apart from in Laliga so they will play the remaining matches in the local league.

Xavi really did a great job this year with Barcelona even with all the problems that he faced, i think this club will do better in the next year with xavi if the administration brought some good players in the squad, i believe Barcelona can dominate la Liga for another year

Celta vigo too much wasting chances in this match.

I lost my bet for this fight. because I think as the host Celta Vigo will win this fight. But Mallorca seems to be able to embarrass the host in front of their own supporters. Celta vigo has indeed played well in this match. even they have good possession of the ball. but as you said that too many opportunities wasted. and Mallorca's defense was also quite good in this match. because Celta vigo is clearly having a hard time creating comfortable gaps to shoot on target.

Well I am not saying that you are wrong, but since when does the soccer business show any mercy? The problem I see is the way they play now. Even if three good players are missing, not scoring for three games in a row and playing as if the season was over shouldn't happen. If the team stays as it is and Xavi also stays, do you think that they will play a better season next year? Champions League was bad, Europa League was bad, Cope del Rey was bad, and now even La Liga is bad. If you draw the balance for this season I can only see one positive outcome and that was their defensive work for the most part. However, losing 0-4 against Real Madrid isn't exactly a great achievement either.

You can blame with Xavi Hernandez achievement with Barcelona this season despite failure in Champion League, Europe League and Copa del Rey but he still has chance with La Liga tittle after remaining 11 points from Real Madrid, one thing important achievement this season Barcelona have been success becoming solid defensive are with 9 goals conceded and more fewest conceded goals than all European top standings teams.

Give moment awhile until end this season and comparison Xavi achievement than previous manager, despite all Barcelona fans disappointed after missing in Champion and Europe League but he can give La Liga tittle and seems not really bad.

there are rumors that the top team will meet the team below that the performance of a top team like Barcelona will decrease but that's just a rumour.
well, even though Barcelona may be at a safe point but if the performance of the players decreases like the next game, surely Barcelona fans will still be disappointed. because Barcelona fans want to be able to get even more points so that the distance between the points with Real Madrid is even further.
speaking of Real Madrid, it seems that Real Madrid must be ready to accept the fact when it is shifted from its position by Atletico Madrid, which is only 2 points apart. although Real Madrid is not too concerned with this La Liga match and is more focused on the Champions League, in this La Liga, Real Madrid must also give their best so they can stay in second place.
but it doesn't matter, maybe Real Madrid is saving energy to compete in the Champions League.

It was a tough match for both teams, despite Mallorca got early opportunity at 21 minutes to scored a goal in the first half to lead the match till the end to achieved the three points. Celta Vigo team was in a good position to equalize the goal in the second half, but their players miss used the opportunity because their players are not well organized that made their player to received Red card from the match. I think, Celta Vigo coach need to do something positive that will improve their strikers because their strikers really missed many goals that would have make them to defeat Mallorca 1-2 but they failed to embrace the opportunity.

They failed to embrace the opportunity because they lacked motivation and it is very difficult to find motivation when only few games are remaining until the end of the season and Celta Vigo does not fight for anything,they know that they can't access the European spots and they are also safe from any relegation dangers.The same for Mallorca but Mallorca just needed this win to be 100% sure and safe from relegation also and they got what they wanted in yesterday game which was a boring one with Celta Vigo lacking the desire to play as I said because they were not playing for anything major.

you quoted it too far a few months ago, and now Benzema is in really good condition especially with his goal productivity which is actually quite back and he is even back competing with Lewandowski in the top scorer this season with only a 3 goal gap.

There were some really good opportunities from the two teams in this match, but in terms of finishing, even though it's a shame there are still many that don't meet the standard, in this case it actually looks quite reasonable because the lack of solid players is a real problem.
The score of 1 goal lasted until the match ended and with this Celta Vigo inevitably had to give up its current position.

[izsara]

They failed to embrace the opportunity because they lacked motivation and it is very difficult to find motivation when only few games are remaining until the end of the season and Celta Vigo does not fight for anything,they know that they can't access the European spots and they are also safe from any relegation dangers.The same for Mallorca but Mallorca just needed this win to be 100% sure and safe from relegation also and they got what they wanted in yesterday game which was a boring one with Celta Vigo lacking the desire to play as I said because they were not playing for anything major.

They have struggled quite well actually and it can be seen from how they continue to block the defense of Mallorca.
On the other hand, opportunities that are indeed wasted also make this even more troublesome for them in this match.
The conditions are not very favorable but with the current conditions I actually still feel that their position will still be secure even with this defeat their position is overtaken.

The bluagrana are already close to be crowned laliga champions but if they continue sharing points, I'm afraid they will pull competitive strength with the Los Blancos. Barcelona and Athletico Madrid will not display their top performance in the game, moreover I guessed it will be a boring game because most top performance will not be displayed by these professional on the pitch. Memphis Depay would want to proved himself to be fully fit for Los Colchoneros and that will bring a wrong impression for his absence in Barcá.
