La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[piebeyb]

Both Madrid and Barcelona got easy wins but its already the end times right now and the league is almost over. I have to say, I still think that Real looks like the better team, and the fact that they are not leading the league right now is all due to the fact that they lost so many unexpected games, could have won that. Modric missing made some people worry about the game result but the reality is that we are seeing it not do that badly neither, they played so well and we all know Vini was already good, and rodrygo is getting better and better too and they are a very well balanced team. Some players are getting older so they will have to obviously replace them, but aside from that as it is I would say this Madrid team is better than Barcelona, they just had a bad season.

Madrid is focusing on the UCL league and I think their main target is to win the UCL again this season not in the league, that's why madrid is not so consistent in the league, but if they fail in the UCL to be eliminated by manchester city of course they still have a chance to win the Copa Del Rey because of course chasing Barcelona to win the Spanish league is rather difficult in the remaining matches this season. considering the difference of 11 points is so complicated.

Barcelona seems to have established themselves to win the Spanish league while Madrid are still focused on the UCL against Manchester City later, if they fail at least they have the Copa del Rey title even though that is not the main target they have to achieve, as the defending champions in the UCL of course Madrid wants to win again UCL this season.

Even though he wasn't as productive as last season, Benzema is still able to show his sharpness with his age. I was really amazed to see his performance after being able to create hatricks in a row. In my opinion, for next season, Benzema will still be Madrid's mainstay unless Florentino Perez has found a suitable replacement for him. But what is clear is that before he retires he will continue to make a big contribution to the Whites.

Benzema is unstoppable at 34 years old.. Incredible! This is no longer a productive problem at an age that is no longer young, but he is always there during important matches and I'm sure he will do that later when he faces Man City in the UCL. Moreover, Karim Benzema is now the fourth top scorer in La Liga history. He also scored three hat-tricks in all competitions this season. All three came this month, and the other two were first-half hat-tricks. Benzema is undoubtedly the soul and captain of the team, without him Real Madrid would not have more than half of the goals scored in the Champions League, Liga and Copa del Rey.

The only teams that will advance to the Champions League are Manchester City and Real Madrid, which is a difficult match that everyone is anticipating. I hope that Karim Benzema is not injured or that it is the end for them in both divisions.

Everyone's hope is that Benzema won't be injured, so that the semifinal match will be even tighter and tighter. Even though many favor Manchester city to qualify for the Champions League final, I think Real Madrid will prove in the semifinals that they will qualify for the Champions League final again. although without Luca Modric David Alaba and Mendy Real Madrid there is still another midfielder to fill Luca Modric's position. It is likely that the Real Madrid midfield sector will be filled with Toni Kroos, Valverde, Tchoameni or Dani Ceballos.

Benzema is such a prolific striker that always score almost every goal scoring chances when feed with clear cutting passes, no wonder most of Vinicius Jr assist were well converted to goals by Benzema including yesterday's match against Almeria, he had continue to set new records most recent the fourth highest goal scorer in Laliga of course he will score many goals, Man City defenders should be very cautious of Benzema in their UCL semifinals else he will score goals against them because he look dangerous in front of goal though age is no longer on his side aside that his goal scoring sense is topnotched.

Benzema has rediscovered his magic touch after scoring back-to-back hat-tricks in April. Now he is back in the competition for the top scorer with Lewandowski. The sharp return of the French striker will certainly help Madrid in the hunt for the Copa del Rey and Champions League titles. Ancelotti is of course very happy to see that the condition of his sticker has returned to its best form. If he can always maintain his condition like that, it will be an important asset when he will face Manchester City. And of course it is very interesting to see the two world strikers chasing each other's goals in this prestige-laden match.

But what is clear is that before he retires he will continue to make a big contribution to the Whites.

To think that Karim Benzema was not considered as a very important part of this Real Madrid team by Real Madrid fans during the days of Cristiano Ronaldo is something that baffles me most about how he's carried the responsibility of making sure that Madrid still remain at the top as one of the best clubs after CR7's departure.
He's been absolutely phenomenal for Real Madrid since he turned 30 and that is the stage most football strikers starts to diminish in strength and performance. Two hattricks in the month of April is a perfect way to send Manchester City defenders a warning message of the kind of lethal striker they're gonna face in the semi finals.

Moreover, Karim Benzema is now the fourth top scorer in La Liga history. He also scored three hat-tricks in all competitions this season. All three came this month, and the other two were first-half hat-tricks.

It is the fourth hat-trick of Benzema for Real Madrid in last 8 matches. What a goal productive striker!

Benzema with this hat-trick, reduced the gap with Lewandowski to only two goals when La Liga has 6 match rounds left. With this form of Benzema and unstable form of Lewandowski after World Cup 2022, Benzema can beat Lewandowski in the last 6 matches and take Pinicchi title for a best scorer in La Liga. One more hat-trick and Benzema can take the lead in this race.

This latest hat-trick is a strong warning message of Benzema and Real Madrid to Manchester City before their first semi final in the next two weeks. He will still be one of biggest hopes for Real Madrid in semi-finals. However they just got bad news from an injury on Luka Modric who are facing risk to miss both semi finals.

It is impossible for Real Madrid to be considered a bad team in every game they play.
In statistical terms, this season Real Madrid has suffered 6 defeats and 21 wins.
The number of defeats of Barcelona 3 and 25 wins.
Very close distance right?

I want to say Barcelona is better this season in La Liga which started the season full of internal problems.

The problems of Real Madrid in this season is they lost points in some matches with weak teams. It happened more after World Cup 2022 and I guess it caused by their tired players as consequences of that tournament.

The biggest contributor for Barcelona success in this season in La Liga is their strong defense which helps them to block opponent attacking and minimize their losses. Barcelona attacking power is not too good in this season as we saw how they struggled in both Champions League then Europa League play-off matches with Manchester United.

The most important player in the Madrid squad is Karim Benzema. Madrid players are confident if Benzema is in the squad. This makes Madrid's overall performance more stable. Also, Benzema is in great form right now. He scored a hat trick in two consecutive matches. And if such form persists. If Benzema does not face injury. Then it is hoped that the team can qualify for the Champions League final. The team will also win the Copa del Rey title. The opponents in the Copa del Rey are relatively weak. Expect Madrid to win easily. But winning against Manchester City in the Champions League is challenging for Madrid.

Benzema is currently the most important player for Real Madrid. It's funny to think back on the times when Benzema was always in the background while Ronaldo was the star player. This just goes to show that every player has his or her peak seasons. In Real Madrid, Benzema rose from nowhere to become a household name and an unstoppable force.

The only teams that will advance to the Champions League are Manchester City and Real Madrid, which is a difficult match that everyone is anticipating. I hope that Karim Benzema is not injured or that it is the end for them in both divisions.

That doesn't do any justice to guys like Kroos and Modric. Those two guys are the heartbeat during the whole games, but the aren't appearing as often on the sore board for obvious reasons. That is also something I consider unfair when the Ballon dor player is chosen. It is almost impossible to win that individual trophy as a defender or midfielder. We all want to see goals, but those who know soccer well can also see what kind of role players in the midfield often play. Coordinating the game as a midfielder is probably the toughest position you can play as you always have to find the right balance between your offensive and your defensive role. It is speed, precision and all the strategic thinking.

Karim Benzema is one of the strikers of the Real Madrid team. This player really has to be praised, Karim Benzema is one of the main contributors behind Real Madrid's big achievements. I really don't know how long Karim Benzema will stay in the Real Madrid team. After all, I don't think any other striker can support the Real Madrid team as perfectly as Benzema.

Benzema is one of the players for Real Madrid they have a hard to find another player to replace him because during the time when he is playing for Real Madrid, we can even expect a miracle from this player who knows how to finish the ball and use the chances he gets in the game but still he is getting old and I think Real Madrid should start seeking for a young player to replace with him soon.

Valencia has been very penetrative ever since Lino's goal. They have taken charge of the game both in possession and in goal attempts., with this I think this game is gradually heading to a draw. Cadiz has been defensive ever since Castillego and Nogguero were brought in,  much pressure has been stored in by Valencia attackers. A point share in this game will not favor Cadiz at this point where they need to leave the relegation zone and it is not going to be an easy task after losing this match.

[X-ray]

Karim Benzema has suffered several injuries this season. Karim Benzema would have been the top scorer in La Liga this season if he had not missed the matches due to injury. This season we also saw the dominance of Benzema. He is a good player now. And since he has been with Madrid for a long time. He has been able to adapt himself well with every player in this team. As a result, he is able to play well in every match. If Benzema is able to play well in the Champions League match, then Madrid has a chance to beat Manchester City. Madrid won't win if Benzema doesn't play well.

I thought that if benzema was not facing injury and he will able to surpass lewandowski this time. The fact that if benzema is having consistnt performance compared with lewandowski. Benzema needs only two goals to have the same scores as lewandowski.
I think that lewandowski can be surpassed easily by benzema. Benzema is the best striker in la liga right now. The hattrick has proven if he is having capabilities to create as many goals as possible.
This can also be a message for manchester city if haaland was not the only striker that can make so many goals. The competition to be the top scorer of la liga become even stricter than before.
Real madrid might have lost la liga title against barcelona but the competition between benzema and lewandowski is still continuing. Alvarez is making second goal for city.

[rendravolt]

The two top La Liga teams in the previous week suffered the same defeat. But in yesterday's match Real Madrid and Barcelona won again over their opponents. Sometimes it's funny to see the competition between these two teams getting the same results in the last 2 matches.

With this result there is no significant change in the standings and the opportunity to win La Liga this season is still entirely in Barcelona's hands. I think both teams need to be more consistent in the next matches because maintaining a position is much more difficult this season considering that many unexpected things have happened.

[bering]

Atletico target to finish at 2nd still wide open and Simeone said he will attempts to bringing Atletico Madrid to earn full points for each matches to accomplised that target and for today against Valladolid actually Atletico Madrid had good records and they can able to gets 11 wins from 12 matches against Valladolid i think this is proven Atletico Madrid is too strong for Valladolid and last week Atletico Madrid can able return to winning ways after beat Mallorca and today too i think 3 points will belongs to them

Valladolid squad conditions is more good than Atletico this because there were no injured lists today and all of the players will be available to played but Atletico Madrid conditions a bit not good because their goalkeeper Jan Oblak still not recovering from the injury and Memphis Depay still had a problem with his thigh however although some of players got injured i think Atletico still too strong for Valladolid and i am sure Atletico will be the winner of this match considering they have good balance to defense and attack and the odds for Atletico Madrid win is quite decent @1.66

Villareal has recorded a goal already in the first 5 minutes of the game.  This was a very good odd to bet on. I was sure about Villareal to win or draw this match, especially with their home advantage. After suffering two defeats in the last two matches I wasn't expecting them to accept another one from Celta Vigo. Celta Vigo is dominating in possession and may have a goal still in this first half but let's wait till the second half before we decide if Nicolas Jackson's 4th goal of the season could give Villareal a win in today's game.

A point share in this game will not favor Cadiz at this point where they need to leave the relegation zone and it is not going to be an easy task after losing this match.

Finally Cadiz came out victorious with a score of 2-1 in this match, if you look at the time the match took place then I think this was a victory for Valencia, apart from dominating the match Valencia also had many chances to score goals, but unfortunately the final finish was still not optimal and measurable, so Valencia must swallow defeat and are in an unsafe position in the standings.

Although Cadiz lost possession of the ball, he made a good defense in this match, the two goals in the first half made the coach play a defensive strategy in the second half, making it difficult for the Valencia forward to score. This is the first victory since the last three matches, where Cadiz lost against Osasuna, Real Madrid and drew against Espanyol.

This season will belong to Barcelona, it can be seen after they have a point difference that is far from their main rival, Real madrid, I would not say it is impossible for Real madrid to catch points from Barcelona, but considering the difference is far away it is difficult for them to be right right do it now. The Champions League and Copa del Rer are their hopes now, their Copa del Rey is the biggest favorite after finding a relatively easy opponent. But their main task now is the Champions League, in the Champions League they will face Manchester City, and Manchester City will really be a stumbling block for them.

So far 19 minutes of the game have passed and Villarreal have managed to score two goals. The possession of the game is completely in the hands of Villarreal. If Villarreal continue to perform like this in the end, I think they will be able to score more goals and secure the victory.

What annoys me the most is this synchronicity when Dortmund once again fails to take advantage of Bayern's misfire. Although if Bayern make a symmetrical mistake today, I will be happy (by the way, the score after the first half is still 0-0). If we talk about La Liga, then all these games no longer have a tournament value. The only thing that Real Madrid cares about is the Champions League and in the neighboring games with the games with City, I would not risk betting on Real as Ancelotti will rotate the squad.

It shouldn't be a problem for Villarreal to get an additional +3 points today, Celta are on a level game far below them. Villarreal is include in the five best teams in La Liga at the moment, they must end the match with a win to keep the gap between points with Real Sociedad in fourth place
I'm looking forward to the Atletico Madrid match in the next few hours, they is 5 points adrift of Real Madrid at the moment with no more than 5 match left in La Liga

on the other hand there is still Atletico Madrid who has a very good performance to catch the points of the 2 top teams.
although Barcelona and Real Madrid in today's match won I think Atletico Madrid will also win against Valladolid. for Atletico Valladolid is not a strong opponent and maybe Atletico will score above 3 in the upcoming matches.
this will be very interesting because these three top teams are doing very well to maintain their respective positions.

Lewandowski scored again in this match and the difference is now two goals.
Barcelona won quite handsomely in this match but it did make a difference when Edgar Gonzales was sent off so Barcelona became more confident.
The game was more than expected as Betis went down to 10 men which overwhelmed them with the game.
The 4-0 scoreline really sets them up now to continue to finish La Liga quickly this season.

yes, Betis really messed up with 10 players. they lost 1 of their players in the first half, and the mistake was they didn't make a tactic to reduce the domination of Barca. 3 goals in the first half really hurt Betis. but they held on for the second half, an increasingly confident Barça unbeaten now. they further the difference in points with Madrid. and now Barca must focus on every game and can't drop points. what happened to Arsenal and City could happen to Barca and Madrid.

Actually when they played with 11 players it was very good in my opinion even though there was 1 goal scored there, but Barcelona was muffed in terms of the attacks they launched.
But Edgar Gonzales' second yellow card changed everything. Barcelona's game was much improved especially in terms of attack after Betis went down to 10 men.
In terms of Barcelona and Madrid's position I don't think it's the same as City and Arsenal because obviously the gap is too big in terms of the remaining games now so that movement in the table or the championship won't be taken away by Madrid regardless of anything now.

Lewandowski scored again in this match and the difference is now two goals.
.......
The 4-0 scoreline really sets them up now to continue to finish La Liga quickly this season.

From all sides, Barcelona is indeed superior to Real Betis which allowed them to dominate the match and win it easily, especially with a score of 4 _ 0. Cristensen's goal in the 14th minute really opened the next goal more easily. Especially as a result of the red card that Real Betis got, this made things worse and their performance because they were playing with only 10 people.

I don't think so. When Crishtensen scored until the 30th minute Barcelona couldn't do much and they had few chances when Betis played with 11 men but when they played with 10 men Barcelona were different and their every attack was on target and they scored 2 more goals in 3 minutes because Betis were still not used to their 10 men at that time.

Both Madrid and Barcelona got easy wins but its already the end times right now and the league is almost over. I have to say, I still think that Real looks like the better team, and the fact that they are not leading the league right now is all due to the fact that they lost so many unexpected games, could have won that. Modric missing made some people worry about the game result but the reality is that we are seeing it not do that badly neither, they played so well and we all know Vini was already good, and rodrygo is getting better and better too and they are a very well balanced team. Some players are getting older so they will have to obviously replace them, but aside from that as it is I would say this Madrid team is better than Barcelona, they just had a bad season.

Real madrid is good but what affected real madrid in laliga to be behind is that they never consider laliga as a trophy to win this season that is why  they didn't put any energy in laliga,  Real Madrid only put all their focus in the Champions league and now it is too late for them to win laliga.

I also agree with you. The Real Madrid team is now thinking about the entire Champions League and is very focused. However, if Real Madrid lose their Champions League semi-final match against Manchester City, then I think this team will make a huge push in La Liga. haha 😅
