La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tulusikhlas]

The Europa league match between Sevilla and Manchester United have me the insight that past glories and records still has an effect on a team's performance. If Sevilla could invest such strength they invested in the clash against Manchester unite especially I'm the second leg, I think sevilla wouldn't be where they are in Spanish la liga. Today, they have a clash against Villareal who will not be ready to accept a second defeat in La liga after losing to Valladolid. I think The home advantage and the Europa league win against MU qualifies Sevilla as a more favourable side to win this match.

The results they got in the European League were inseparable from the poor performance of Manchester United, they made many mistakes which ultimately made Sevilla profitable in that match. The defense from Manchester United was very disappointing in that match so that many goals were created from the mistakes they made. Sevilla could take advantage of mistakes made by opposing players, and they managed not to make fatal mistakes.

Madrid was dominating the match against celta vigo. The statistic of real madrid is showing how real madrid owned by huge ball possessions and it was also making more chances compared with celta vigo. The result from this match is very easy to be predicted.

According to what I predicted before, that Real Madrid would score 2 goals in this match. but that is very reasonable, because the two teams have a very different gap. plus, Celta always falls based on H2H history over Madrid. as a result, Madrid secured its position plus reduced the distance of points from the top standings.

I think that we are still waiting for the match between barcelona vs athletico madrid. This is a hard game for barcelona at this moment. Athletico madrid may also able to take full points from barcelona at this moment consider athletico madrid was also a very good club in la liga at this moment.
Atlhletico madrid is also in the best performance caused by it was able consistently winning the game right now. Athletico madrid is still getting win streak against another team too.

This becomes a huge challenge by barcelona. Barcelona had 8 points gap to the real madrid right now. Losing against villareal will put the position of barcelona in unsafe condition.

It's caused by real madrid becomes a threat to take the spot anytime.

Well, talking about this fight, it looks like the match will be quite exciting. especially in this match, Barcelona will play as the home team. playing at Camp Nou, should be a strong boost and motivation to get back on track with victory. because, if Barcelona continues to produce minor results in this match. that means, Barcelona provides an opportunity for Madrid to continue to reduce the point difference between these two teams. that is, they have to win three points in the match over Atletico.
if, I refer to the line-up that Barcelona will lower. it looks like De Jong is ready to play again even though his status is still in doubt, as well as Dembele and Pedri. but even if they were, they were only played at the last minute.

On the other hand, Atletico's recent performance has been quite impressive. from 11 matches in La Liga, they did not experience defeat. although two of those matches ended in a draw. so, this battle is expected to feature some interesting performances from both teams. however, my estimation is that Barcelona will win the battle, but on condition that De Jong plays as the main starter in this match.

Barcelona is certainly going to be the favorite going into this match. But I am not so sure if Barcelona will actually be able to win. After all, Barcelona has been dropping points against weaker opponents in this season and in recent matches. That tells me Barcelona is, a little under pressure going into this match. Barcelona will probably actually go for a draw in this match. Unless Barcelona is really confident, and somehow goes ahead towards the start of the match, I would say that Barcelona is going to actually play safe in this match.

Atletico are also in good shape lately, so for sure they will make it difficult for Barcelona in this game. Barcelona also need full points in this match, although defeat will not change their position much because they are quite far from Real Madrid in points. Atletico Madrid is also struggling to take over from Real Madrid in second place. They will play their maximum in this game to get the most out of this week.

[Leviathan.007]

I will be happy if Atletico Madrid wins today's match. In order for the competition to continue, the scores must be close to each other. If Atletico manages to win the match, they will be very close to Real Madrid.
Barcelona is very close to becoming the champion now, even though they lost points and got tired in the last 2 games, they will be on the field as a different team in today's match. If they can get 3 points, it will be harder for other teams to catch them. I think it will be a competitive and good match

Atletico Madrid has to win this match against Barcelona and this can be definitely a hard game for Atletico Madrid because they are playing against the first team on the table and Xavi won't let any team win easily during this season, however, Barcelona got some injured players and this can affect the performance of the team but Atletico Madrid need the full three points from this game today.

Of course I favour Barcelona to win. Pedri and De Jong have recovered from injuries and are ready to compete. They will be the key to victory, although actually losing or winning does not have much effect on Barcelona's position. They have a fairly wide points gap, it makes Barcelona more comfortable. Other news Xavi included a new name in this match. Lamine Yamal, he is a seventeen-year-old player and the player with the most potential to become a star player. He is a player from Spain, who grew up in La Masia's academy. He was praised as similar to Lionel Messi.

Barcelona VS Atletico Madrid

Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid in the big match of La Liga today. In La Liga, Barcelona is the number one team in the points table and Atletico Madrid is the number three team in the points table.  

After playing 29 matches, Barcelona's points are 73 and Atletico Madrid's points are 60 after playing the same number of matches. The match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona means nothing less than a Clasico match.  

Atletico Madrid win against Barcelona will move Atletico Madrid very close to Real Madrid on points. Because Real Madrid's points are 65. But if for some reason Barcelona loses to Atletico Madrid today then Real Madrid will fail to increase the points gap with Real Madrid and Real Madrid can use that opportunity.

Barcelona VS Atletico Madrid

Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid in the big match of La Liga today. In La Liga, Barcelona is the number one team in the points table and Atletico Madrid is the number three team in the points table.  

If Barcelona win today they could be on the verge of clinching the league title. A gap of 11 points with 8 games to go, although not impossible, would be quite difficult for Real Madrid to overcome, and even more so as we are seeing the second half of the league unfold. I think today's game is crucial, because if Atletico Madrid win, it could give Real Madrid wings, which would be 8 points behind. In addition, as you say, Atletico would close the gap on Real Madrid and would even be 10 points behind Barcelona, which would be interesting.

[yayayo]

Surely it must not be fun for Barcelona and Real Madrid to finish the competition in this way? I wanted to write that nothing is at stake anymore, in the case of Barcelona it is just Real Madrid that has to watch out that they are not overtaken by Atletico Madrid, which is making a strong advance unnoticed. The gap to Real was huge, but they have closed the gap considerably at the moment. Barcelona can play football towards the championship in their own way. The last title was also a few years ago, this title comes exactly at the right time for Xavi, with unprecedented and varied successes this season.

ya.ya.yo!

Barcelona was held to a goalless draw by Getafe this is their second draw Getafe who are in the mid-table of the Laliga manage to take a point, well Barcelona still have a healthy lead against second place Madrid. Barcelona had the opportunity to take the lead in the 25minuet but could not make good use of it the absence of injured players like Pedri and ousmane dembele two of their primary creator this season. Barcelona was blunt in attacking despite dominating in attacking

I think Barcelona will be enough motivated to play the football they always play and the odd for them to win is very good at near 2 while they are playing at their home,such odd they have had only against Real Madrid and honestly despite the good results of Atletico recently I think they are not the same as Real Madrid so I think it is free money on Barcelona to win in the afternoon game.

After Real Madrid managed to beat Celta Vigo 2-0 in game 30, now they are 8 points away from Barcelona. Barcelona got an injection of motivation when they hosted Atletico Madrid because their two midfielders, Pedri and De Jong, had recovered from their injuries and were ready to play in the duel against Atletico. If Barcelona can beat Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou, it will be a luck factor because in the last two matches they have drawn against opponents who are weaker than Atletico, a draw is ideal for both teams.
The Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match has been running for 17 minutes, currently the score is still 0-0.

I assume that Betis have most probably lost their chance for top four now. Because they couldn't perform proper enough against Osasuna this week and it resulted in a 3-2 loss for them. They should have been better at defending while they are having the most critical weeks of the season. This is Betis' main problem really. They just can't maintain a good series until the end of the season. They start to make simple mistakes suddenly and this hurts them really hard when it come to achieving their goals.

I assume the board were hoping to see Betis to finish the season in top four this time. Because they missed the chance really closely in the previous season. But now the gap with Real Sociedad has gone up to 6 points while there are only 8 weeks left. They had better hope that Real Sociedad start a bad form.

[Bananington]

The Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match has been running for 17 minutes, currently the score is still 0-0.

Barcelona desperately need to win this game to ensure that they maintain the advantage and point difference they have with Real Madrid who are closing up on them. De Jong and Pedri are back to this team and it is expected that their performance improves from the last couple of games they have played. Lewandoski personally needs goals to ensure he remains the top scorer in the league and the return of Pedri who we know has a good understanding with Lewandoski when they play is both good for the team and the player.

Quite an interesting match between both  clubs, the game is balanced but none of the team could be able to break the deadlock yet. ATM has three shots on target and Barcelona none. ATH is playing brilliantly with a good tactics,which makes them bold.

Lewandoski is trying his best,he lost some opportunities which would have been converted to goal. Both clubs missed great opportunities. Ferran has broken the deadlock by using his opportunity wisely on the 44th minutes with a good finishing. He scored a wonderful goal which was assisted by Raphina. The first half is over.
Barcelona 1-0 ATH.

Though Barcelona are comfortably leading the La Liga standings with 11 points but a match against a major rival like Atletico Madrid is not one Xavi Hernandez will want lose for any reason. Pedro is not in the starting line up which is surprise to many football fans but I think Barcelona manager knows why he went for a midfield trio of De Jong, Sergio Busquet and Gavi.
Diego Simeone went for a 3-5-2 formation so as draw wide the Barcelona's defense when they attack and a backline of 5 defenders when the team is defending. It surely gonna be and entertaining match for neutrals but must surely be a nervous encounter for fans of both clubs. I will go for a Barcelona win anyway

Barcelona is still leading the match right now after ferran torrest was helping barcelona to create a goal. There are so many times remaining for athletico madrid to change the situation. Barcelona played defensively against atletico madrid away.
As you can see that if barcelona is using counter attack as a way to make the goal against athletico madrid. Athletico madrid shall have used same formation like barcelona. This will only add to Barcelona's frustration.
It's very wrong to attack barcelona when it was in the defensive mode. Barcelona was always waiting for the golden moment to create a counter attack. Ferran torrest has been proving if it was working perfectly.

Im aware how difficult athletico madrid to search a golden moment to create a good attack against barcelona. Athletico madrid may lose with small scores if it will not be fully attacking against barcelona. Barcelelona is only waiting for momentum as well.

[yayayo]

Barcelona has currently played an hour at home against Atletico Madrid and has a 1-0 lead. It seems to go in this game as it has all season. Barcelona scores few goals, but mainly ensures that little to no goals are conceded. If you do that often enough, you will become a champion of course. The match has not yet been played. It also makes little difference to Atletico, they just want to qualify for the CL next season. 2nd or 3rd is only a battle of prestige with Real.

ya.ya.yo!

[hahay]

Barcelona led from the first half by 1-0 and I think a result like this is a predictable result. Considering that Barcelona has a good defense this season, then of course it will make it difficult for Atletico to score goals in this match. So, it seems that with Barcelona not too ambitious to win with a big score, a 1-0 win at half time could be a result that will last until the end of the match as well.

Because in the second half, the fact is that Barcelona can still dominate the match, and of course with good dominance it will make it difficult for Atletico to develop attacks. But yes, apart from these results, basically Atletico will still find it difficult to overtake Real Madrid so that their position will be the same as now until the end of the season.

In the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Barcelona managed to score in the 44th minute, and neither team managed to score again. By now the game is almost over and Barcelona are leading 1-0 with a few minutes to play. Hopefully Barcelona will secure the victory in the end but the football can't be said Athletic Madrid can do something great.

[Ratash]

Atletico vs barcelona game is a really tight one now we are on extra time and it seems that barcelona are going to win with a slim score of 1 0 this is a great result for real madrid since it will put a safe distance between them and atletico, it seems that the top 4 spots are secured and its unlikely that we will see a change in them.

Barcelona VS Atletico Madrid

Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid in the big match of La Liga today. In La Liga, Barcelona is the number one team in the points table and Atletico Madrid is the number three team in the points table.  

The duet of Gavi, Sergio Busquets and De Jong can always be relied upon by Xavi compared to the midfield duo of Franck Kessie, Sergi Roberto and Sergio Busquets, when viewed up close they are less creative in providing sufficient placement space and ball flow for attackers so it is very difficult for Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres to score, proven by several previous disappointing Barcelona matches which achieved unsatisfactory results.

Even though Barcelona controlled the match, the finishing was still weak so that additional goals were not created in the second half. The victory over Atletico Madrid was very important for Barcelona to motivate the team to achieve satisfactory results in the remaining matches and at the same time make a distance of 11 points from Real Madrid in the second standings.

The match is over with a goalless second half. Raphina was the man of the match,Bosquet didn't give ATH players an opportunity to net their post. Barcelona could have scored more goals in the second half but it didn't work out.  Greizeman played 5 shots on target but he was unlucky to score any.

Torres Ferran scored the only goal in the match, this increased their points difference to 11 points ahead of Real Madrid. It will be impossible for Real Madrid to close this point gap, since they only have 8 games left in the league. Real Madrid should stay focus on the other titles and not this one.
