La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Zlantann]

Another bad result for Barcelona and this time against Rayo Vallecano. this time the game was 2-0 and Barcelona didn't score a goal yet couldn't believe that Barcelona as the first team in the La Liga table is losing a game against a team like Rayo Vallecano while Rayo Vallecano is in 9th place in the table they had bad result before this match.

It was indeed a very poor performance from a club that is filled with world-class stars. They were just lucky to get a consolation goal through Lewandowski in the 83rd minute. The stadium; Estadio de Vallecas has been ignited with joy and victory chants from the home fans. With seven more games before the end of the season, this win has infused hope in the dream of Rayo Vallecano to compete for a slot in at least the Europa next season. Regardless of the loss, Barcelona is still eleven points above Real Madrid. But they still have to take their game seriously so that their case will not be like that of Arsenal. Coach Xavi and the player should know that it is not over until they have been crowned the La Liga champions.

I'm so angry right now. I'm angry at myself, angry at Atletico, angry at Barcelona.
I placed a bet on Atletico and Barcelona to keep a clean sheet but both of them failed to keep clean sheets 

Be patient bro, Barcelona result is really surprising, but I thought also that Atletico will win because currently they are playing well.
 Like Real Madrid, Barcelona also lost in their last match against Rayo Vallecano. The results were quite surprising, especially since they should be currently on fire. However, Barcelona's defeat may not have much effect on Barcelona's statistics on first standing. I thought Barcelona would catch up, but they were only able to score 1 goal.

[JoyMarsha]

Barcelona might drop points in tonight's game as they are losing 2-0 to Rayo in the ongoing match. It is quite shocking that Rayo Vellecano is taking control of the second half with boldness and confidence.
If Rayo wins tonight match,they will be 9th position on the table.

Finally, Barcelona end up dropping 3 points in the same way that Real Madrid theirs yesterday. How I wish Real Madrid won their match against Girona yesterday and Barcelona lost theirs today. It would have been 8 points gap by now and that would have given Barcelona pressure to win their remaining matches.

I'm sure Real Madrid will be able to maintain their 2nd place this season and for sure they won't let Atletico Madrid get past them for the rest of the season. Barcelona is safe enough to become champion this season even if Barcelona wins again in tomorrow game then the point gap with Real Madrid will be 14 points and it is appropriate for us to say that Barcelona is the Liga champion for this season.

The second position is not that certain for Real Madrid because anything can happen. Atletico can cross them because they are 2 points below Real Madrid. Any match lost by Real Madrid in their remaining matches can land Atletico in the second position in the Laliga table if they win. Although the second or third position doesn't count that much apart from being able to qualify for the champions league title next season.

Yes, Barcelona lost three points tonight and they could decrease the gap between themselves and Real Madrid but in fact, Real Madrid lost three points in the other game yesterday while they had a disappointing performance and since both teams lose three points nothing chance between these two and the gap is still no changed int his week. 

[snipie]

looks like these 2 days didn't go very well for the gamble
Only Atletico met my expectations this week but not Madrid and Barcelona.
Barcelona lost with good possession and good chances but their productivity in the last few games has been very minimal and in this game you can still feel how bad they are in finishing.

Well unexpected results this round for both Real Madrid and Barcelona. I didn't think for a second that Rayo Vallecano could beat Barcelona and score also 2 goals. Barcelona hardly receive goals in La Liga.
Real Betis 0 - 0 Real Sociedad, a normal result since both teams are good. For ATM they were 1 goal behind in almost the whole first half then they turned the game upside down!

Real Madrid failed take opportunity to cut off points with Barcelona both teams have loss last games, still not change with points difference for both team and current standings Barcelona still managed with remaining 11 points. Next games, Real madrid against Almeria are bottom standings team and Barcelona vs Real Betis, have good progress for Real Madrid winning next games because Almeria is not really favored team and another match hope Real Betis can get three points from Barcelona and have huge pressure for 8 points remaining.

La Liga has 7 games left and Real Madrid with little chance become the winner this season, but still any possibility if Barcelona fail on several games later although has little opportunity for getting loss.

Real Madrid failed take opportunity to cut off points with Barcelona both teams have loss last games, still not change with points difference for both team and current standings Barcelona still managed with remaining 11 points.

You can only say this if Barcelona lose first then Real Madrid fail to win in order to reduce the gap. In reality, the opposite occured, Real Madrid lost first and Barcelona failed to expand the gap. Anyway if the gap is 8 points, chance for Real Madrid will be still very small.

Next games, Real madrid against Almeria are bottom standings team and Barcelona vs Real Betis, have good progress for Real Madrid winning next games because Almeria is not really favored team and another match hope Real Betis can get three points from Barcelona and have huge pressure for 8 points remaining.

Real Madrid will have a weaker opponent in a next match day compares to Barcelona. Real Betis are at the fifth position with 6 points less than Real Sociedad and they have big reason to try beating Barcelona and get three points. It will be a very big match for Real Betis as if they fail it, they will face with a risk to see the gap with Sociedad extending to 9 points which will be an ending for their top four dream.

La Liga has 7 games left and Real Madrid with little chance become the winner this season, but still any possibility if Barcelona fail on several games later although has little opportunity for getting loss.

7 matches and 11 points in their gap with Barcelona, chance for Real Madrid is like 1%.

Sevilla have started to climb upwards in the league as you know. They made me worried for a long time period but at least they saved themselves from the relegation zone by a serious gap for now. It is again up to them not to get near there again. They have two tournaments to concentrate on now: La Liga and Europa League. However right now the Europa League seems to be one step ahead for them.

Sevilla with 38 points, have 8 points more than the relegation zone. Valencia with 30 pointsas the highest club in relegation zone and it's hard for them to drag Sevilla down to this area within next remaining 7 matches. Honestly I don't feel happy to see Valencia in this relegation zone and if you don't know, they have Edinson Cavani there. Again I feel bad for Cavani with his experience in Valencia after having a successful career with many big clubs from Napoli to PSG.

Shocking to witnessed both elite club competing for the league title losing over the weekend games. Carlo Ancelotti have too much on his mind, right now he have given up on the laliga challenge and facing Pep Guardiola, because both amazing coaches have unfinished business to settle in UCL. Real madrid attention is divided, they have a tough game to play against Manchester city who are desperate for the UCL trophy.  failed to take advantage of the defeat of their preeminent rivalry for the laliga title. Barcelona lose to an average club, the same circumstances applied to the Los blancos.

There is no tremendous pressure on Real Madrid's part especially in La Liga, but Ancelotti really needs to rest some players as his title hopes are not as good as before. But obviously, winning every match is very important because Barcelona is also still very likely to lose some of the remaining matches this season. Really I really think these two big teams are both unlucky this week because they were beaten surprisingly by two mid-table teams Girona and Rayo Vallecano.

La Liga leaves only 7 matches for the average team, meanwhile Barcelona is still 11 points ahead of Real Madrid even if they lose. Obviously this is very profitable for Barcelona because they do not have many distractions for their title chances which they are very likely to achieve this season. Barcelona only need 3 wins and 1 draw to secure the title from Real Madrid, so I don't think we have many chances to expect Barcelona to slip up before the end of the season.

[Litzki1990]

Another bad result for Barcelona and this time against Rayo Vallecano. this time the game was 2-0 and Barcelona didn't score a goal yet couldn't believe that Barcelona as the first team in the La Liga table is losing a game against a team like Rayo Vallecano while Rayo Vallecano is in 9th place in the table they had bad result before this match.

I know how all the statistics seem to be different. In the last match of La Liga, the number two team in the point table lost to the team number ten in the point table (current statistics) and in today's match the number one team in the point table lost to the team number nine in the point table (current statistics).
Yes I am talking about Real Madrid and Barcelona. Last match, Real Madrid was defeated by a huge margin of 4-2 against Girona FC, which is number 10 in the points table (current statistics). Today, Barcelona was defeated 2-1 by Rayo Vallecano, the ninth team in the points table.

Barcelona fell behind by one goal to Rayo Vallecano after 19 minutes of play. Later in the first half, no team was able to score any more goals. But García doubled the lead with another quick second-half goal. Barcelona trailed Rayo Vallecano by two goals in the next 83 minutes.

Lewandowski scored a goal in the 83rd minute to narrow the margin of defeat for the team. Later, Rayo Vallecano left the field with a 2-1 win.

[JeffBrad12]

This is astounding. Come on Barcelona, ​​finally you can penetrate Rayo Vallecano's goal and the current position has changed to 2 -1. this is really surprising because Rayo Vallecano really played well. Even though they don't have much control over the ball, they can play very effectively. Leaving Barcelona with 2 goals first is a really good thing. And Barcelona's lag still lasted until the 87th minute.

Finally barcelona was losing again. It's also the same result that being achieved by real madrid. If real madrid was able to use this momentum and it's possible for real madrid to catch up barcelona at this moment. Madrid could cut points slowly but surely.
The problem is if ancelotti is not focusing in the la liga right now. Ancellotti was not using some main players like curtois and benzema. That proves that if ancellotti's focus was on the UCL and copa del rey.
Treble winners ahead of real madrid right now. The win against manchester city will help real madrid to boost its mentality. It's caused by manchester city was the strongest opponent for real madrid in UCL right now.

Barcelona has been dominating the match with big ball possessions and more goal attempts. it's very sad to say that barcelona didn't have proper finishing. The attacking line seems remain unaffective at this moment.

Vallecano was able to get full points from barcelona which is very good result.

[ShowOff]

I know how all the statistics seem to be different. In the last match of La Liga, the number two team in the point table lost to the team number ten in the point table (current statistics) and in today's match the number one team in the point table lost to the team number nine in the point table (current statistics).
Yes I am talking about Real Madrid and Barcelona. Last match, Real Madrid was defeated by a huge margin of 4-2 against Girona FC, which is number 10 in the points table (current statistics). Today, Barcelona was defeated 2-1 by Rayo Vallecano, the ninth team in the points table.

Lewandowski scored a goal in the 83rd minute to narrow the margin of defeat for the team. Later, Rayo Vallecano left the field with a 2-1 win.

I basically didn't expect Barcelona to lose to Rayo Vallecano in that match, but it can't be helped because Xavi's plan didn't go as smoothly as expected. Barcelona failed to take advantage of its opportunity to create a 14-point gap with Real Madrid, which was previously beaten by Girona with a score of 4-2, but however this failure did not reduce the possibility of a title for Barcelona.

Xavi and Barcelona may only be very sorry for failing to win and keep a clean sheet, but now Barcelona have conceded 11 goals in all La Liga games played. Barcelona has 7 match for the rest of the season, it is also the same about Real Madrid, and so far I don't think Real Madrid is still very threatening to Barcelona's chances.

this week's matches were like a joke, Real Madrid lost against Girona with a score of 2-4 and Barcelona lost against Rayo with a score of 1-2.
I think the top teams when playing against teams that are far below them are like underestimating and ending in defeats for Real Madrid and Barcelona. it's really strange why when the top team meets the team below it, they always give a very bad performance and even almost lose without a goal, but in reality these two big teams still have a score, even if it's only a little.
for Barcelona it might not be a problem even in this week's match but for Real Madrid this is a threat that must be prepared to accept because Atletico Madrid has performed much better in La Liga than Real Madrid and Atletico is ready to shift Real Madrid's position.

[RealMalatesta]

Girona is one of the teams that posses threat against big sides in the LaLiga. They played out a goalless draw against Barcelona at home and I felt they’d show how good they are against this Real Madrid side. Girona have now given Barcelona the upper hand towards the title race...now I can confidently say, it is over for Real Madrid this season for the LaLiga trophy. Now Real Madrid are now five points ahead of third-placed Atletico Madrid who will play today. With this, the race for second could be vital this season.

There are teams like that in every league, teams that are not really great when you look at the regular season, but teams that could win against the big names somehow. Like Brighton in premier league, not a great team when you look at the regular season, but they do beat the big names somehow. Or Hoffenheim for Bundesliga, they are not great at regular season neither, but they managed to get draws and wins against the top three before.

I feel like that's just the case here as well and should not be shocked. Girona is one of those teams, just alright, not great when we are talking about the regular season, but when they play against the top three that becomes a lot better for them and suddenly everything changes and it does much better.

[LittleBitFunny]

But even though they are no longer able to catch up to Barcelona, Madrid should also not let every remaining match lose points, Madrid must at least maintain the runner-up position from the pursuit of Atletico Madrid. Even though they didn't win, it would be ridiculous if Madrid would finish in 3rd place.

What actually needed by madrid is only winning the remaining match. I see no chance for real madrid to get another thing other than it. Win in la liga is more than enough even though if sometime real madrid must work so hard to win against a small club with small score.
As long as madrid gets three points and it's quite safe. If madrid will able to win UCL and there's no need to feel worry about madrid's standing in la liga.

Since winning the La Liga title is almost impossible for Madrid now. So I'd say qualifying for the Champions League from the top four of the points table is enough for Madrid. Madrid should now fully focus on fighting to secure the Champions League and Copa del Rey titles. Madrid has the potential to win both of these titles. And I think Madrid boss Ancelotti is now planning to win these two titles. Ancelotti's goal is not to perform well in La Liga. I am looking forward to seeing a good performance from Madrid against Manchester City.

Yes, their focus on La Liga has diminished a bit after they have fallen far behind Barcelona, who have been outstanding this season. But Real madrid is getting unsatisfactory results more often now, as evidenced by their defeat to Girona which has made them even further away from Barcelona. Maintaining second place is the ideal target now for them to do in La Liga. Meanwhile in the Copa del Rey, they are now the main favorites to win the title. Then in the Champions League they still have a chance although it won't be easy to get rid of Manchester City.

I'm just waiting to see Real Madrid's performance against Manchester. Because this is the most important match of the season for Real Madrid. It is very difficult for Madrid to win with Guardiola's team. This team is now at the peak of its form. Although they are trailing in the Premier League, they will also be close to occupying the top spot in the Premier League in a few weeks. City had an excellent 4-1 win over Arsenal yesterday. And so Ancelotti must apply a new match strategy if he wants to defeat such a team. Otherwise, Madrid will not be able to win against Guardiola's team.

[Falconer]

this week's matches were like a joke, Real Madrid lost against Girona with a score of 2-4 and Barcelona lost against Rayo with a score of 1-2.
I think the top teams when playing against teams that are far below them are like underestimating and ending in defeats for Real Madrid and Barcelona. it's really strange why when the top team meets the team below it, they always give a very bad performance and even almost lose without a goal, but in reality these two big teams still have a score, even if it's only a little.
for Barcelona it might not be a problem even in this week's match but for Real Madrid this is a threat that must be prepared to accept because Atletico Madrid has performed much better in La Liga than Real Madrid and Atletico is ready to shift Real Madrid's position.

I don't think I agree if it is said that Real Madrid and Barcelona underestimated their opponents in this week's defeat, but that's football, in reality not all matches played can always be won by your favorite team. I'm disappointed with Real Madrid's loss, maybe the same with Barcelona, ​​​​​​but they fought to win it as best they could.

But whatever the result, I think towards the end of the season it's too risky to place bets on teams that are as close to the title as Barcelona. You would also imagine the same thing, it is also risky to get a bet on Real Madrid considering they are not too focused on La Liga.

[cozytrade]

In the Spanish League Celta Vigo vs Elche two team game, Celta Vigo won the match by scoring 1 goal. From the beginning of the game, the players of both teams tried hard to score.  team. But after halftime Celta Vigo started to perform very well and managed to score a goal in 90 minutes. Celta Vigo team's goalkeeper I. Villar played very well. Celta Vigo managed to score 1 goal after 9 shots on target in the whole game.

[Strongkored]

It is unfortunate that Barcelona could not take advantage of Real Madrid's defeat yesterday, this should make Barca more comfortable at the top because it can increase the difference in points. Barca's defeat was not expected although Rayo cannot be underestimated because in the last few meetings, Rayo was able to take points from Barca. The point difference between these two clubs remains the same so competition remains although it is not easy to catch the leaders.

This week Barca will face Betis at Nou Camp and Real Madrid face Almeria. Barca will have a relatively more difficult match to win than Real Madrid who face a team that is always difficult to get a positive result against them. But still, the home team is the favorite because Barca has a clean record when playing at home this season.

[Sebas.tian]

Barcelona got one step closer to the championship by beating Atlético Madrid with a single goal over the weekend. Despite Lewandowski's formlessness, Barca are playing very good matches thanks to their great defensive stability and Ter Stegen's form. They also found opportunities to open up the difference in the Atlético fight. Busquets is suspended but Dembele and Christensen are likely to return.

Rayo Vallecano has only beaten Osasuna in the last five games. They got away from their first 7 aims. They are not a bad team in the home field, but I think it is difficult for them to resist against Barça with their faltering defense in almost every match. I guess the leader will win again.

It was a tough match to both teams, but Rayo vallecano used home advantage to silent Barcelona not to performed well from the beginning of the match that made them to defeated Barcelona 1-0 in the first half to prepared the mind of their fans that there is a hope for them to achieve victory from the match. But Barcelona tried to use the last matches strategies to play Rayo vallecano in the second half, but no opportunity for their strikers to have access to their goalpost until they scored the second goal at  53 minutes before Barcelona manage to scored one goal at 83 minutes. Despite the defeat Barcelona experience from their opponent, they still remain in first position in the la Liga league table which there is a hope for them to use their next match to improve their points.

[onecall123]

It is unfortunate that Barcelona could not take advantage of Real Madrid's defeat yesterday, this should make Barca more comfortable at the top because it can increase the difference in points. Barca's defeat was not expected although Rayo cannot be underestimated because in the last few meetings, Rayo was able to take points from Barca. The point difference between these two clubs remains the same so competition remains although it is not easy to catch the leaders.

This week Barca will face Betis at Nou Camp and Real Madrid face Almeria. Barca will have a relatively more difficult match to win than Real Madrid who face a team that is always difficult to get a positive result against them. But still, the home team is the favorite because Barca has a clean record when playing at home this season.

Barcelona just followed in Real Madrid's footsteps from yesterday night. Barca's defeat against Rayo Valecano last night becoming evident that they needs more depth in their team. Rayo Vallecano may not be the biggest club out there, but you can't underestimate them. This particular Rayo Vallecano team is very determined because they managed to draw with Barcelona in the first leg, last night ultimately winning. Despite this setback, there's no need for the leaders of Laliga to worry too much. The gap of 11 points is still significant, which means that Barcelona still has an excellent chance of securing the league title.
