La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Dzwaafu11]

It was unbelievable to see all the teams from the 14th position to the last one got a draw on the final week of the season. It was a really thrilling kind of ending to the season while determining the last relegating team. I thought that Valladolid would be able to beat Getafe home and get out of the relegation zone. But they couldn't prevent a 0-0 draw at the end.

I was positive about them especially because of what they did to Barcelona. Maybe Barcelona were comfortable already but it was still a great work by Valladolid as they won by 3-1. However they couldn't use this as a motivation source unfortunately.

That was a give away from Barcelona they don't have anything to miss
As for Valencia and Sevilla they are my team of rhe season
After so much struggles of the relegation they finally step their games up to evade being relegated

I was expecting such a fierce competition between the bottom table teams seeing that the point difference between most of them wasn't much and teams like Celta Vigo, was only one point away from relegation before they won their last game the motivation was high. Valencia too didn't want to take that chance of losing hence the were able to secure a draw which helped them escape relegation better even after getting a red card. Sevilla should be relaxed now they have won what the cared most about this season and nothing else matter to them any longer seeing that either the lose or win nothing changes.

Celta Vigo performance yesterday was extremely wonderful  for defeating Barcelona, it seems they were motivated to get more points as the league has come  to an end. The teams at the  bottom have similar points but the three points Celta Vigo got made them to be in a better position far from the relegation points.

What a great performance by Celta Vigo, they beat a team like Barcelona 2-1 which is a huge achievement for them. no one expected such a remarkable victory for Celta Vigo. a team like Barcelona has narrowly escaped losing a match 2-0, otherwise it would have ruined their reputation. Celta Vigo completed two goals before Barcelona scored the single. It's a feat for Celta Vigo. I was really surprised by watching  this match

Chelta Vigo team has been able to perform exceptionally well. But now there is no point in performing well in La Liga as the Barcelona team has secured the title. However, small groups are moving forward quite well these days. Hope to see something better next season.

I want to see changes from Celta vigo next season, but I was astonished to see them overcome a team like Barcelona despite their excellent teamwork. I can see that Celta is progressing steadily and that they are making more of an effort to protect the future seasons that will come there way.
However, I believe that Celta vigo should compete in other competitions as Barcelona has already won La Liga, therefore there is no purpose in excelling once more despite their historic victory over Barcelona.

Celta Vigo is very lucky that Barcelona did not play with a winning mission in the last match which allowed them to win that kept them away from the relegation zone. The defeat in the last game did not have a big impact on Barcelona even though their winning record was tarnished, Barcelona played only to meet the requirements as a sign that the season was over. An additional three points allowed Celta Vigo to stay in La Liga next season. Real Valladolid, Espanyol and Elche were relegated to Laliga Smartbank.

Barca finishes the season with a defeat, whereas Celta Vigo defeated the champions at the Municipal de Balados stadium. Although the hosts did not relent in their efforts, absorbing and maintaining closer tackles on the visitors, they couldn't afford to forfeit their chance of retaining a spot in La Liga. Celta de Vigo is staying out of the relegation zone, while the blaugrana have nothing to lose because they are already La Liga winners. Xavi Hernandez's focus is not centered around the game; alternatively, he is focusing on next season budgets and recruiting potential players to the club, with the goal of having Leo Messi on his squad next season.

On a normal circumstance, even if Barcelona fielded all their best players in the match, they wouldn't have escaped Celta Vigo because the energy with which Celta Vigo came into the match was far much higher than that of Barcelona.
Celta Vigo knew that it's either they win or they get relegated,
While Barcelona knows that if they lose they are already Champions. So, there's nothing at stake. The match was quiet interesting as Celta Vigo fans were emotional throughout the match.

Celta Vigo luck was certainly on their side in the final match against Barça the Catalan giants seemed to have a lack of passion in their win. This fortunate situation allowed Celta Vigo to win a crucial victory that kept them away from the feared relegation area. While the loss may have adversely affected the Barcelona overall winning percentage it had no significant impact on their season. It seemed that Barça simply took to the field in order to fulfill their duties this would indicate the conclusion of a difficult campaign. However the three additional points gained by Celta Vigo were crucial as they were responsible for placing them in the La Liga standings for the upcoming campaign. Conversely unfortunate results occurred in the Real Valladolid Espanyol and Elche clubs as they were re relegated to the Laliga Smartbank this was a disheartening fate for these organizations.

Real Madrid, being one of the most valuable clubs in the world, wouldn't face financial constraints if they decide to seek a replacement player. However, my main concern lies in finding a suitable replacement for the striker position. It may seem relatively easier to find replacements for other positions, but finding a top-quality striker can be challenging because many clubs from different leagues are actively pursuing strikers too, and players like Kane are commanding significant attention in the market, my problem with him is that his price tag is quite high but this can be understood considering his contributions to Tottenham, it is perplexing why he is taking his time to make a decision regarding his future with Real Madrid.

Rumors about Real Madrid's new striker next season are still difficult to predict. I think there are a lot of top strikers that have been linked with them including Haaland, Julian Alvarez, Mbappe, Kane and Osimhen. I don't know who Real Madrid will initially approach because it seems all these players have quite a high price in the market. The most that Real Madrid can do is get Osimhen, Kane and Alvarez and apart from that I think they will struggle.

It would be beneficial if Real Madrid could at least purchase two or three of these strikers because their problems have always revolved around this position. Karim Benzema was arguably Real Madrid's best striker, and now that he's leaving, I don't think their performance will make sense. Therefore, it would be beneficial if Real Madrid signed Victor Osimhen, Alvarez, and Kane because I believe they can help them win more Champions League titles the following season.
Real Madrid will struggle to win any league next season and their performance will be atrocious if they fail to sign any strikers this season or if the team considers the cost of signing a new striker.

He is professional and contributes a lot for Real Madrid and now when Benzema according to rumor, received a big offer from Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid made a kindly decision to free Benzema. They let him rights to choose his next club and free him one season before a current contract expiration.

Therefore, it would be beneficial if Real Madrid signed Victor Osimhen, Alvarez, and Kane because I believe they can help them win more Champions League titles the following season.
Real Madrid will struggle to win any league next season and their performance will be atrocious if they fail to sign any strikers this season or if the team considers the cost of signing a new striker.

I don't know buying all those players: Osimhen, Alvarez and Kane are good and I don't think they will be able to combine well in a same team. They already have Vinicius and Rodrygo and actually need a new striker but Kane, Osimhen, Alvarez are like all strikers. Buying three star players at the same time and they play at same position is wasting money.

It is not Real Madrid style as they wisely to buy players that fit with their squad and have enough patience to buy youth players like Vinicius, Rodrygo and grow them up. Osimhen will be best choice for Real Madrid as he is a better striker than Alvarez and younger than Kane.

It was a do-or-die match for Celta Vigo. This team had the possibility of going to the relegation zone if they did not win this match. And so their aim in this match was to beat Barcelona by any means possible. On the other hand, since Barcelona has already won the title, they are not playing the matches very seriously. As the match was not important for Barcelona. And Barcelona was missing several key players. So Celta Vigo got a good chance to win this match. However, if Barcelona's goal in this match was to win, then Celta Vigo could not have defeated an experienced team like Barcelona so easily. Barcelona won the home match against Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo moved up 5 places in the league with this win, jumping from 18th to 13th. One thing is now official after the game, Robert Lewandowski is the best striker in the league. He has scored 23 goals in 34 games, followed by Karim Benzema with 19 goals in 24 games. If Benzema had played 10 more games, maybe he would be the player with the most goals. But now he leave Real Madrid with two titles: Copa del Rey & UEFA Supercup winner.

To be honest, I didn't watch this fight.  because, there are other, more exciting matches to involve betting on. I thought, if the result of the Celta Vigo vs Barcelona match would end in a draw. however, it turned out that Celta Vigo was able to win the match even though Barcelona actually controlled 73% ball possession.
I suspect, that Xavi is just trying to experiment with rotating some of his players. for example, Erik Garcia was deployed as a quarterback, even though his original position was DC. he partners with Kassie, but in the end the combination doesn't work out the way he wants. Likewise with Sergio Roberto who played as DR, in his 15 matches as the main starter, he always underperformed. It is also possible that Xavi is selecting which players he will release in the transfer window next summer. for the wing, Ferran Torres played underperform too. only after being replaced by Ansu Fati and Dembele coming in, Barcelona's game improved. So, we can assume that this match is meaningless for Barcelona. Win or lose, it doesn't matter to them.

Different from Celta, because their position was threatened in their position, they automatically inevitably played all out. and proven. Celta can take advantage of the momentum of this fight. noted, even though Celta lost in possession, every counterattack they had was quite dangerous. technically, Barcelona is much better than the home team. but by luck, Celta Vigo was able to capitalize on its momentum and topple Barcelona. as a result, Celta Vigo is good to a safe position.

So, as you say. we agree, if Barcelona is not aiming for victory in this fight. but maybe, just evaluating his team.

[Polkeins]

Valencia was lucky enough to get out of the relegation zone the week before and they deserve to be proud of that. Besides that, Barcelona closed this season with defeat. And for Lewandowski, he is the top scorer this season, he beat Benzema.

I was hoping that Valencia get relegated. Maybe that would teach them a lesson or two about respecting opponents and discouraging fans from practicing racial slurs. The Final match day ion La Liga saw a number of matches end in draws. All 6 out of the 10 we just draw, I don't know when I saw that many draws in a single game week.

Can't Valencia still leave the La league? Valencia has 42 points and Almeria has 41 and Valedolide has 40 points and if Almeria and Valedolide win and Valencia loses, then Valencia will leave? Although Getafe and Cadiz have 42 points each.
In general, some kind of confusing situation in La Liga and the fight goes on until the very last round.

The current La Liga matches are good to watch. Each team has no headache to win the matches by playing these matches they are improving their skills and experience. But the Barcelona team is having a lot of fun, the team is playing the current matches very lightly.

Barcelona judging by their latest matches and losses I think is done with soccer this season and now just gives points to other teams.

In general, now at the bottom of the standings are teams with 40 points or more, this has never happened before in La Liga, it turns out that with the exception of Elche, all the other teams from 10 to 19 are about equal and can beat even the favorites.
I believe that La Liga is now even better than the English Premier League in terms of competition.

I don't say anything about the last matches Barcelona when they know they are going to win the La Liga title because during that time they didn't have enough motivation to have a better performance, for example, in the last game Barcelona had against Celta de Vigo they lost the game with a 2-0 result but it doesn't mean Barcelona couldn't win that game, the thing is they didn't need the full three points from this game.
I guess in the next season Xavi will even have a better perforate in Barcelona with the more experience he got.

It just seems strange to me that as soon as Barcelona won La Liga, they started losing right away. I understand that the players and coaches have already relaxed, but 3 losses out of 5 is still a lot in my opinion. I'm not saying that Barcelona is deliberately losing or giving up games, but the fact that they stopped fighting seems obvious to everyone.

I think the champion team has no right to play like this because it is the champion to be another example.
And now Barcelona turns out to be an outsider team, on which others score points.

Bacelona winning streak ended soon after winning La Liga, moreover it wasn't a surprise to me, the same happen to Napoli in Seria A and Manchester city in the premier league. Coaches tends to give chances to the youth players in the team and rest the first team players when there is nothing else to play for, it's always the big opportunity to give the young ones a chance in the fidtt team  and for their experience too.

[rendravolt]

It is very unfortunate that the results obtained by Bilbao in that match, especially against Real Madrid, are not an easy problem for them to solve. I think Real Madrid don't want to lose at the end of the season because of course they want to present a good game for their colleagues who will leave the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season and it seems that Real Madrid are also quite satisfied with the draw. But the thing that is quite detrimental is that Bilbao failed to go to the European competition and it looks like they will have to try again in La Liga competition next season.

Bilbao tried to do their best in that game, but it's a shame they couldn't beat Real Madrid. Thibaut Courtois had a good performance in the match by saving several chances for Bilbao throughout the match, and Thibaut Courtois managed to become the best player after the match was over.

Regarding Bilbao, they should deserve to win a place in European competition next season, but this is not Real Madrid's fault. Bilbao just need to try to do better next season and they should strengthen their team enough with some good players. Then from that, Valladolid, Espanyol and Cadiz had to accept the harsh reality that they had to be relegated this season. Next season, Granada and Las Palmas will get promotion tickets to La Liga while waiting for one of the 4 other teams to take part in the play-offs.

It's no wonder Real Madrid have a hard time conceding because they have the best goalkeeper in the world and Thibaut managed to make 8 saves in that match. Not only that, but Thibaut managed to save the penalty that Bilbao got in the early minutes which prevented Real Madrid from losing. Maybe there is some truth to it, rather than chasing European competition, it's better for Bilbao to start fixing what is lacking this season in order to get better results next season and it looks like they have to give up the hunt for a place in the conference league for Osassuna. Regarding the promotion team going to La Liga next season, I haven't seen Granada and Las Palmas back in this competition for a long time and maybe they will make a surprise this time by competing from mid-table.

[bering]

The promotion teams for next season looks interesting to watched and Granada and Las Palmas have already automatically to promote to Laliga this because Granada was finish at first position and being an the champion of Segunda division and Las Palmas has been taking over second position from Levante because although they have equal points with Levante but Las Palmas have a better goal difference
The last spots to promote will be contested by 4 teams Levante, Albacete, Alaves and Eibar and Levante in the comfortable position because they can able to beat Albacete with scores 3-1 at Albacete home and other match Alaves vs Eibar were playing draw 1-1 and second leg will be held on this Thursday and the winner of each matches will met at the final and will compete for the last spots

Even so, Barcelona has played well enough that they even managed to be above Madrid in La Liga.
Defeat is not the end of Barcelona's struggles because maybe they have other plans to get some of those defeats. But I still believe that Barcelona can become La Liga champions next season and that only Madrid will be equal rivals for the title because these two teams are always the Underdogs in La Liga.
Maybe we are a little surprised by Barcelona's few defeats but at least they have come out as La Liga champions this season so the defeat means nothing anymore.

I don't even think if celta vigo was lucky in this case. in my opinion that if it barcelona was giving up on purpose against celta vigo. Barcelona has intentionally given up since the match was starting.

No reason for barcelona to win against another club after it was winning la liga trophy at this moment. In my opinion if this is caused by barcelona is willing to help another club to get full points. The season was almost ended at that time and barcelona knew how important three points for other club. that's why barcelona was letting other club to beat it include celta vigo as well.

Celta vigo was lucky to get full points from barcelona. that luck has been given by barcelona. Barcelona was always losing full points once it has been winning the trophy.
It seems like that was the main motive owned by barcelona at this moment.

[hahay]

It's very interesting I think because, there are four teams that enter the playoffs to compete to be the third team to be promoted to LaLiga. However, the three bottom teams in the LaLiga standings are not included in the playoffs, because the three teams in the relegation zone in the LaLiga standings such as Valladolid, Espanyol and Elche are certain to be relegated. However, regarding the four teams that are currently competing in the playoffs, I personally am very confident that Levente will succeed in returning to play in LaLiga. After all, Levante was also able to finish in third place in the final LaLiga2 standings.

I am not at all surprised by Barcelona's losses in the last few matches. After winning the league title, Barcelona players lost interest to perform well in the next matches. And they don't perform well. Xavi also gave his young players a chance in these matches.
I think that Barcelona will be able to win the title next season as well. They have performed well this season. Their defense was very strong. Xavi's match strategy was also excellent. However, the team still has several weaknesses in the attack. If Xavi can fix the weaknesses in attack, Barcelona will be champions next season.

[Luzin]

Real Madrid will struggle to win any league next season and their performance will be atrocious if they fail to sign any strikers this season or if the team considers the cost of signing a new striker.

They have to move quickly to get new players. It seems that Asensio is also unwilling to extend his contract with Real Madrid. If Madrid is as passive as last season, they will fail again next season. They won't be able to compete with Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sociedad, maybe even Villareal. The purchase of players is a mandatory option, the promotion of young players is not yet quite able to compete for next season's competition. Anceloti might have a headache even more if Kroos and Modric also leave, they are quite old and will probably only play one more year at Real Madrid.  I hope this regeneration of players does not make Real Madrid weak and like Barcelona last season.

[Vinaa77]

Real Madrid are in a difficult situation after the departure of Benzema. It is likely that Madrid will find it very difficult to compete again with Barcelona if it does not immediately get a new sticker that is commensurate with Benzema. In my opinion, among the names you mentioned, only Kane and Julian Alvarez are compatible with Los Blancos, while Mbappe and Haaland are clearly unlikely to be let go by their clubs. Osimhen does look good with Napoli but if the price is too high then it's better for Madrid not to look at him because in my opinion Osimhen is a type of seasonal striker, meaning he can always perform consistently.

Benzema's departure at Real Madrid brings a serious sorrow for this club, Benzema is one of the good strikers for Real Madrid and so far he has given good performances for Real Madrid, and because of his departure we think that Real Madrid needs a striker who is at least material who is quite good more or less like Benzema, maybe on this side Harry Kane can replace him or some other recommended strikers.

This is true. Barcelona didn't play that game like people who wanted to win. They just played it because they really had to and it has been like that since they won the league. The only thing they were really protecting was Ter Stegan clean sheet record and it would have been difficult for them to protect it even if they needed the win. They would have most likely win but Celta could have scored. They always score against Barcelona.
Celta were lucky indeed because if this was the match that they needed to stay alive and this was the match Barça needed to win the league, the Celta would have been relegated by now because Barcelona really wanted this league and nothing would have stopped them
