La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Marykeller]

For me, Barcelona already won the La Liga title.

Barcelona has unquestionably won the Laliga championship. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, who are in second and third place in the rankings, are behind them by 17 and 18 points, respectively. Barcelona needs just one more victory from their remaining games to clinch the Laliga championship.

Right now, they are not thinking about this whether they are going to end at the second or third spot because their main focus is how to handle Manchester City in the semifinal of the Champions League Carlos Ancelotti is doing his own tricks which are helpful for them in Champions League with they already have enough space for staying into top three which is not bad for them after having double in last season, and again they can win one cup and now doing their all strategy for the big game I am also shocked with their performance in last two defeats but look like they are having no issue with these defeats but if they are able to stop Manchester City then surely things could be entertaining for them and their fans but with the current form of Manchester City it's not looking easy right now.

Real Madrid and Osasuna will meet in the Copa Del Rey championship game on Saturday. The final result of the match will reveal how well-prepared Real Madrid is to take on Manchester City on Tuesday of next week. Whether they are capable of winning them or not.

Real Madrid is more focused on their Champions League encounter against Manchester City, but will their defense be able to prevent any of these Manchester City players from scoring goals (Halland, De Bruyne, Silva, and Grealish)? That is a significant question because of the way things currently stand, Manchester City appears to be an unstoppable force in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.

I still hope Sevilla can make a comeback in this match because as hosts it is clear that this is a loss if they lose. However, this time Espanyol performed quite well and was able to make things difficult for Sevilla. The own goal from the Sevilla player gave Espanyol an unexpected advantage. I think that being behind by 1 goal is not a problem for Sevilla and I'm pretty sure at least they can equalize first to pump up the enthusiasm of their players. Sevilla must win this game if they want to shift the position of Mallorca which is currently above it.

Same, I also hope so. And nice Sevilla can make a comeback in second half with a narrow score of 3-2, they got three points today after losing against Girona last week. With this win, Sevilla now have 44 points and shift Mallorca, because Mallorca also lost against Girona today. Interestingly, on Girona vs Mallorca match, Castellanos was able to score again, Girona also now have 47 points in the standings. It seems like Real Betis Balompié position is really under threat, they must win against Bilbao.

[BRINIRHA]

Real Betis are currently playing against Athletic Bilbao and have entered the 26th minute. And the current score is 0-1 in favor of Real Betis who managed to get a goal by Willian José in the early minutes of the match, namely in the 6th minute.

although statistically Bilbao seem to dominate possession of the ball, Athletic Bilbao really seems to have difficulty penetrating the Betis defense. I'm not betting on this fight. because I'm not sure which team to favor.

[izsara]

Sevilla - Espanyol, this match really interesting. Sevilla actually led first with a score of 1 but Rekik made his team lose the lead. Also Espanyol team can scored, so now the score is 1-2. Although now currently Espanyol can the lead at half time, but this game are still long because there is still second half I mean. Also Sevilla is better rather than Espanyol, they dominated this game a bit so maybe they can scored again in the second half.

And indeed this is what happened, Pretty good comeback in this game for Sevilla, They really made a ha; positive in this match even though Espanyol is also very good in defense but they had quite a hard time with Sevilla's domination which made them have to accept the harsh reality of having to lose points in this match.

Barcelona should be able to score more than 1 goal, especially after they had the advantage in the number of players from the 27th minute, but it's a shame that the advantage in the number of players doesn't seem to make it easy for them to score goals. Even though only one goal was scored in this match, this is a very good result for them to increase their number of points in the standings and move away from Real madrid.
I don't think it's the fatigue factor, because they are in one competition now, and that's only in La Liga, I'd rather say they're unlucky to score a lot of goals.
Unsatisfactory results continued to be felt by Real Madrid, this time they had to lose to Real Sociedad. To be honest, Real Madrid have been on a downturn lately, and if they do, it will make it even more difficult for them in the Champions League. In the Champions League, they will face Manchester City, which incidentally is the favorite to beat Real Madrid. They have to prepare for the Champions League match in the best possible way, because their opponents are really difficult.

Barcelona missed so many easy chances in this match that it was actually painful to watch. But I have to give credit to the goalkeeper of Osasuna because if it was not for him Barcelona would have scored at least three goals in this match.

In the end, I will say that it was a good finish by Jordi Alba. I am sure that it was not a controlled shot by him to hit the ball as precisely as he did. Even he was looking at the far post. In my opinion, it was a lucky shot from the outer side of the boot.

Real Madrid lost very unexpectedly in the last match. And now Atletico Madrid has a chance to get ahead of Real Madrid. Let's see if Atletico Madrid can actually take that chance or not

There were several saves made very well by the goalkeeper in this match, one of which was when he faced De Jong who had already faced one on one and of course Lewandowski's hard kick on several other occasions.
On the other hand, there were also several opportunities that were actually missed, such as when Dembele failed to turn the ball even though the situation was not maintained for him.
These are some of the obstacles that still need to be fixed. Even though their current position is very secure, still winning with a narrow score is certainly not very pleasant for them.

Of course there is a feeling of dissatisfaction with a win like that especially when the opposing team doesn't intend to play football, but is just busy defending and defending. But what can you do, winning is more important than having to lose a few players because you push too hard, but to be honest Barcelona has a low winning record in some matches this season.

To be honest, I was surprised by the match statistics, but I should know what really happened when I watched the match live. Next Barcelona will visit Espanyol, it will be very interesting.

It seems that Real Madrid is not too focused on pursuing La Liga because they are very far from Barcelona in the previous match, they did not field all of their main squad for several other reasons.
However, for those who place bets on Real Madrid, they are clearly quite disappointed to lose to Real Sociedad, which should be able to balance the game even though I know Sociedad has established abilities.

It may focus more on the Champions League which is exactly very hard to do. However, I don't think that they will really drop their performance in La Liga although they will not be able to reach first place. At least, the runner-up is better. But they can fall the point so easily so that Atletico Madrid can take over their place as runner-up. This is a disappointing result. It is not only about the only match vs Real Sociedad but also the previous matches that seem like not going really well.

[Docnaster]

Yes, after all, Real Madrid is not about "never" being serious in La Liga, because in this season or at this moment Real Madrid's chance to win the La Liga title is no longer possible. So naturally, if Real Madrid reserves the main players or doesn't play the main players when Real Madrid has a match in La Liga, so it's not about never being serious.

There is no point in getting a lot of focus on La Liga after they have discovered that Barcelona are a much stronger team this season. But Real Madrid's form this season has been poor, whatever the reason, and that's why Real Madrid are so far behind Barcelona.

I'm not just talking about his recent defeat to Sociedad, but Real Madrid have failed to win 12 out of 33 games played this season. Real Madrid have lost 7 of the 33 matches so far, so I think that is their bad record in the last 4 seasons.

But even so, at least Real Madrid has been confirmed this season to get the Copa del Rey trophy,

There is no guarantee, how can you guarantee that?

I think it'll be absolutely unfair to Real Madrid's efforts and this season to tag their season so far as a poor one. Real Madrid for a truth hasn't been playing the best of football or getting the best results they're supposed get the Spanish La Liga but they've actually done exceptionally well in the UEFA Champions League competition. The only time we should see Madrid's season as a bad one is iif they fail to win both the UEFA Champions League title and he Copa Del Rey cup.
Barcelona undoubtedly has been the best club in the the league so far and most thanks to their manager Xavi Hernandez who have groomed them to become a big force in the league.

I think in this case it's not that Osasuna doesn't intend to play football but they are aware that when they play aggressively with players who lose in terms of quality and with 10 players left on the field they inevitably defend in the hope that it can hold Barcelona and in fact it went quite well when Barcelona really struggled with the productivity of their goals.
It's just that for the last minutes there was some lost focus that made Alba the difference in this game.

In the next match against Espanyol, I actually expected a lot with Barcelona scoring more goals, especially Lewandowski, who wasted the opportunity to get away from the pursuit of Benzema, who this week was again unable to play against Sociedad.

The problem for Madrid started with their being too passive in spending money on transfers considering they are very capable with the current squad but they are not paying attention that this is destroying the balance with many players who are always hit by injuries even a few times.
This obviously has to be a lesson so they have to prepare everything from scratch.

[boltz]

My eyes are all on Valencia next games because I do have faith on this team to avoid relegation and apply a more solid project for next year. Last 2 games of Valencia are not like the others where they played poorly or only had around 25 minutes of good football because slowly , with the fear of being relegated , this team stated to play really good football and they almost made a comeback against Villareal. Odds for betting should also be mega appealing

[JoyMarsha]

But even so, at least Real Madrid has been confirmed this season to get the Copa del Rey trophy, because even though Real Madrid has put a high focus on the Champions League but in reality, Real Madrid still cannot be sure of winning the Champions League title this season. But yes, "if for example" Real Madrid can beat Manchester City and then qualify for the final, then that makes Real Madrid have a great chance to win the title in the Champions League as well.

That's the reality. They can't be sure of winning the champions league this season because the club they will facing(Manchester City) won't allow them to do that. By the way, the champions league title is not meant for them alone. They have won the champion league title 14 times, let them allow another team that hasn't before to lift the champion league title this season. Manchester is the only possible club that will do that this time. Real Madrid should have the Copa Del Rey but as for the champions league let them forget and try again next season.

[TopT3ns]

It may focus more on the Champions League which is exactly very hard to do. However, I don't think that they will really drop their performance in La Liga although they will not be able to reach first place. At least, the runner-up is better. But they can fall the point so easily so that Atletico Madrid can take over their place as runner-up. This is a disappointing result. It is not only about the only match vs Real Sociedad but also the previous matches that seem like not going really well.

Real Madrid is not in good condition they have lost twice in the last five matches. This shows that Real Madrid is going through something that is making their game performance decrease.Luckily, Real Sociedad knew that, so they took advantage of this situation to score a goal to win, and finally take one point off the top of the standings.

[bekti3]

My eyes are all on Valencia next games because I do have faith on this team to avoid relegation and apply a more solid project for next year. Last 2 games of Valencia are not like the others where they played poorly or only had around 25 minutes of good football because slowly , with the fear of being relegated , this team stated to play really good football and they almost made a comeback against Villareal. Odds for betting should also be mega appealing

Their next opponent is Celta Vigo. But with their current conditions and hopes of moving away, it's clear that this is still possible, it's just that it's certain that Celta Vigo also doesn't want to drop points for now.
Valencia are one step above the relegation zone but their points are still not safe now as they are still on level points with Getafe and only 3 points higher than Espanyol who are in the unsafe zone.

Yeah I think agree with you to an extent about their passiveness in spending during the last two transfer windows. The thing is Real Madrid is a combination of veteran and young world class players so and the players in their possession was very capable enough to compete for major honours of the season. But after they allowed Casemiro to leave for Manchester United they needed to sign another great player in that position which they failed to do. Well the season is almost over and I think they're gonna get new more players to help the club come next season as Jude Bellingham's deal is almost signed and sealed

Real Madrid is planning for the long term. They are trying to find suitable replacements for Benzema and Ronaldo. For this reason, although an experienced striker is needed, Real Madrid management has not added any new players to the squad in the last two seasons. They are ready to spend a lot of money. But they really need a player who can easily adapt to the Madrid squad. Real Madrid have been waiting for Mbappe for a long time. But Mbappe has disappointed Madrid every season. Mbappe probably won't come to Madrid. But this season, Madrid must find a suitable replacement for Benzema. Otherwise, if Benzema gets injured, Madrid will face big problems next season.

[Minor Miner]

Barcelona's overall performance was not bad in this match. Players attack a lot. Even then they were not able to score. They played very well. But I'm happy that Barcelona won in the end. Osasuna was playing badly defensively from the start of the match. And after Jorge received a red card in just 27 minutes, Osasuna played completely defensively. They only repelled Barcelona's attacks. However, several counterattacks were made by Osasuna's players. Madrid lost their last match. And so now Barcelona is 14 points ahead of Madrid. Barcelona has no chance of losing the title.

I think that at least Osasuna can play very well against Barcelona while only playing with 10 players and being able to withstand attacks from Barcelona and only get a score of 1-0.
it is very difficult for a football team to compete with 10 players and usually concede up to 2 more goals but Osasuna was able to hold off Barcelona's attack until it ended with 1 goal that Barcelona got.
I don't expect more from Real Madrid in the Spanish league but I have hope for Madrid in the Champions League to win the UCL

There is no doubt that Osasuna will perform well in this match. Even with 10 players, they were able to continue the fight against Barcelona. Barcelona played attacking in this match. They made a total of 21 shots. But due to the strong defense of Osasuna, Barcelona players faced many problems scoring in this match. But perhaps Osasuna wasn't too worried about this match. They want to perform well in the Copa del Rey final.

It is much more difficult to win against Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Madrid is a very strong team. And since they can't win La Liga, they will do their best to secure the Copa del Rey title. But I am looking forward to seeing Osasuna's performance. Although this team is relatively weak, they often surprise everyone with good performances.

Odds for betting should also be mega appealing

I don't know which is worse. On the one hand, Valencia is a historic team from the third city of Spain and should stay in the first division, but on the other hand, since Peter Lim bought the club, the management has been a disaster and everything is getting worse and worse to the point that this league is struggling to save itself from relegation. Add to this that the work on the 'new' Mestalla stadium has been stopped since 2009, that's 14 years now, and they still haven't agreed to restart it.

There are many people among the Valencianistas who prefer the team to be relegated to the second division to see if Lim sells the club and they can start from scratch because if they are saved it doesn't look like they are going to make any radical changes that could improve the situation.

I still hope Sevilla can make a comeback in this match because as hosts it is clear that this is a loss if they lose. However, this time Espanyol performed quite well and was able to make things difficult for Sevilla. The own goal from the Sevilla player gave Espanyol an unexpected advantage. I think that being behind by 1 goal is not a problem for Sevilla and I'm pretty sure at least they can equalize first to pump up the enthusiasm of their players. Sevilla must win this game if they want to shift the position of Mallorca which is currently above it.

Same, I also hope so. And nice Sevilla can make a comeback in second half with a narrow score of 3-2, they got three points today after losing against Girona last week. With this win, Sevilla now have 44 points and shift Mallorca, because Mallorca also lost against Girona today. Interestingly, on Girona vs Mallorca match, Castellanos was able to score again, Girona also now have 47 points in the standings. It seems like Real Betis Balompié position is really under threat, they must win against Bilbao.

The winning goal for Sevilla was scored by Gueye in the 88th minute and that at the same time buried Espanyol's hopes of getting various points in this match. With the comeback that Sevilla made in this match, it proves that they have a winning mentality to face the next match in the European League semifinals against Juventus later.

Girona is still strong enough for Mallorca and this win has made them win streak in the last 3 matches. Castellanos was endless and he also scored the decisive goal in Girona's win at home. Real Betis are still stuck in 5th place in the standings after a narrow victory over Bilbao and these additional points can widen the distance to 5 points from Girona.

This obviously has to be a lesson so they have to prepare everything from scratch.

I think that if ancelotti has been giving an answer regarding such question. As far as i remember if madrid is still having enough players to play this season. that's why ancelotti didn't wanna try to spend money to buy the new players.
It may be different in summer as real madrid has been getting some positive feedbacks. It's started from how real madrid is also interesting to sign bellingham. The club is also seriously trying to negotiate with dortmund regarding bellingham's transfer.
Barcelona needs to win in upcoming match to get la liga grophy for this season. Real madrid is not aiming at laliga anymore as the club was putting its attention to the UCL and del rey.

Ancelotti is a very wise coach. He thinks that if real madrid is still capable enough to win more trophies and that's why he was not thinking to increase the. quality from the team by buying the new player.
It will be different for the next season as real madrid has been making very big preparations by targeting so many good names in the market to be a part from the club.
