La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tusandii]

-snip-

Start of the new season is going to be very interesting because Real Madrid is going to play their first three games on road and Barcelona is having good decent advantage with this as they can create some gape of points which will help them for having staying at the top Athletic Bilbao has never been easy team to beat at home and this can bring good tension for the Real Madrid which is still looking for the suitable replacement of the Karim Benzema and Mbappé saga is also still on.

Barcelona is surely having better start of this season with mostly games are at home with suitable teams from where they can develop themselves for the better winning unit in La Liga title race, even right now they are still hot favorite for to defend of their title.

At the start of this season, of the two top teams between Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is actually Barcelona that will find it easier to win every game and save a few points to be able to occupy first place immediately, but when the League has run for half a season, I'm sure Real Madrid will slide rapidly about the acquisition of points to be able to shift the first position which seems to be taken faster by Barcelona.
But regarding Real Madrid, they still need to improve to get more competitive players considering that Real Madrid's mainstay players have left the club.

These two top clubs can be sure to go head-to-head and create an eye-catching rivalry.
I can't wait to see these two go head-to-head to go head to head and prove who is the strongest for La Liga this season.

To think that barcleona would be able to do something that is better than expected is the crazy thing. I mean they are already a good team and it looks like they are handling the financial situation one by one, they are selling players for money and they are getting free agents instead, that way is the better way.

How many players already sold by barcelona? I saw only some like dembele but i remember that if barcelona has been making the list for which players that might be sold during the summer transfer season but so many players are refusing to be sold by the club.
Barcelona is only a few and it's still very far from the target that already made by the club before summer transfer season.

Barcelona still cannot register their summer signings after La Liga rejected an attempt to use the club’s own funds to inflate the value of two of the asset sales they had resorted to in order to balance the books and strengthen their team.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/aug/08/barcelona-blocked-by-la-liga-from-registering-new-players-before-season#

It's clear if barcelona needs to sell a lot of players. Gundogan cannot be registered by barcelona caused by la liga has been blocking barcelona to register new player until the club raised 200 million. Barcelona is still in the bad position right now.
Ansu fati, ferran torresm, etc have been refusing to leave from the club which is very bad for barcelona. The summer signing may not be registered while we are very close to the opening match of la liga.

It looks like they didn't do that last year and spent a lot of money on transfers, but they need to start making some profit on transfers to cover the difference without a doubt. I know that it will take some time and it's going to be a lot of years before they can get rid of it and the salary cap situation would be better for them, but it looks like we are talking about a situation that doesn't really hit that well for many people.

Barcelona will never ever make a profit from its sale. I remind you that how much money wasted for coutinho, dembele and griezmann. Barcelona was just able getting small amounts of money after selling those players back again.

Barcelona is always in bad financial condition.

This was one of the downfalls of Barcelona's management in the previous era as they seemed to have no love for money and instead made some senseless purchases with huge sales and losses in the end.
More than 400 million they spent on these 3 players if calculated in total but the performance and return can be said to be a failure and indeed as you say this is not profitable but seeing Dembele leaving of course the price is not too much of a loss when compared to Griezmann and Coutinho.

But this is a good lesson for Barcelona not to do the same thing and not let incompetent people behind their scenes.

We are only two days away from an Athletic Bilbao - Real Madrid game. This is a quite tough game to start the season for Real Madrid honestly. If it wasn't an away game then maybe things might have been a little easier. When we look at their head-to-head history in this stadium Real Madrid have actually been quite successful.

But as this is the first game of the season it is still difficult to predict how Real Madrid will start. Their addition of Bellingham to the team is really important as he is a very skilled young midfielder who can be regular in the starting lineup. I wonder whether we will see him in this game. I think Real Madrid will manage to win this by one goal gap.

[rendravolt]

The invasion that was carried out by the Saudi league had come to Atletico coach Diego Simione but the offer did not make him hesitate to continue to choose Atletico as his home. Diego Simeone seems to still have unfinished responsibilities including helping Atletico win La Liga again after the last time in the 20/21 season. On the other hand, Diego Simeone's failure in the important stages of the Champions League made him feel that he was not finished to complete his task as Atletico coach. It seems that for more than 10 years coaching Atletico has not made him feel bored and it's no wonder he is very happy to be in a team that gives him the feeling of comfort and loyalty he has so far.

Athletic Bilbao is not an easy team to beat. Although the team may not be at the top of the points table, there is no way to take this team lightly. And the important thing is that Athletic Bilbao players always perform well against big teams. It will be very difficult for Madrid to beat them at home to Athletic Bilbao. Besides, Madrid could not beat Bilbao in their last home match against Athletic Bilbao. The match was drawn 1-1. Madrid will play without Benzema. Their performance is still not stable. Joselu has yet to adapt himself to the Madrid squad. In this situation, it will be challenging for Ancelotti to get 3 points against Bilbao.

To be honest, I personally feel unsure about Real Madrid's current performance. Even in pre-season matches, we can see that there are still many mistakes made in Real Madrid's attack line in the completion of attacks. But in building attacks, this club has done very well, but in the completion of the attack, it is still problematic. But for the match against Athletic Bilbao I feel that this match will be quite fierce. Considering that this match will take place at home to Bilbao. I think Bilbao will provide a pretty strong resistance in this match. But if you look at the comparison of the strengths between these two clubs in every pre-season match, then of course Real Madrid is much better. So I will be very sure that in this inaugural match Real Madrid will be the winner.

It is difficult to judge teams by their pre-season matches, Real Madrid lost the last two games to Barcelona and Juventus, in both matches they conceded 3 goals, this is a lot, even considering that these are not official matches. Athletic played most games draws, Valverde did not make so many substitutions in these games, which means he has already decided on the starting lineup. I think that both teams will score in this match, I don’t know if Real Madrid can win, but the odds for his victory are good.

Well, it'll going to be tough, I saw and watched how Athletico Bilbao did against Manchester United as they ended up with the final whistle being a full-time draw. Now, they'll be at home welcoming Real Madrid. Just like you said, I did another look it seem like it'll be a tough first half with the score ending one to Nil while the second half ends in favor of whoever takes the best chances they have.

Jude Bellingham brings additional support to the midfielder's, but not sure they'll start him against Bilbao. I feel do think,it's best if he comes from the bench. Real Madrid lacking since they've got no central player that attacks. They'll find it difficult to score goals.

This is a tough one to guess. At first glance people would go with the name and say that Real Madrid will win it for sure, but I agree that this is probably not going to be a game that ends with a 3 goal advantage for Real Madrid. It is the first game into the season and Bilbao has always been strong enough to step up against the pressure from seemingly stronger teams especially im home games. Real Madrid still has some unknowns in my opinion and Bilbao will be motivated  to screw up the beginning of the season for Real Madrid.

When it comes to Atletico Madrid, their manager Diego Simeone has been absolutely passionate about the club and would definitely do anything that'll see the Spanish club to always succeed.
When the Saudi offer came, I was never in doubt about the Argentine's loyalty to Atletico which I know wouldn't let him leave the club at this moment. His quest to win the UEFA Champions League trophy for Atletico Madrid hasn't been fulfilled despite taking them to the finals of the competition in two different occasions and I think he still believes that one day the dream will become a reality

The Real Madrid squad is good enough to win the match against Atheletic Bilbao with their head-to-head statistics record on the ground, but the truth is that we don't know the form that Atheletic Bilbao is coming up with next season. Atheletic Bilbao's form can Improve and be a tough match, so with that, I can really predict that Real Madrid will be able to secure a win against Atheletic Bilbao. But all I can say is that currently Real Madrid have a better squad than Bilbao, and my fear now is that Real Madrid will not have a great scoring machine like Benzema in the squad again. But even though the match is tough, I am expecting Real Madrid to be able to secure a draw.

Bellingham will be Madrid key player in this match because i am sure Ancelotti will be played him since the beginning of match but indeed he had good progress during pre season matches although he still not able to showed good performance just liked he showed at Dortmund and Bilbao isn't easy opponent for Madrid because sometimes they can make Madrid difficult to get a winning result and the latest prove is Bilbao can able to playing draw at Madrid home ground last season

But indeed there is a good chances for Madrid to beat Bilbao this time because Bilbao still unable to find their shape and during pre season tour Bilbao was unable to gets the winning results because in the last 5 matches Bilbao only able to gets 3 draw and 2 lose so compared to Madrid i think Madrid is slightly better than them and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assuming Madrid will be the favourite and the odds for them could be quite low

I also believe this will be Modric final season with Real Madrid, and this is why Bellingham and Guler were signed; also, Kroos looks to be in his final season at Real Madrid as well.
For squad depth; Real Madrid only need a center forward, a striker, a genuine goal scorer; thats the only position lacking in the madrid team.

Indeed, Real Madrid needs a center forward which can be as reliable striker. Although for next 2024 Real Madrid already has a good plans, they will have a talented young players from Brazil I mean Endrick Felipe on paper could join Real Madrid in July 2024. But they still need an experienced striker, Mbappe has the possibility of joining there with a free transfer in 2024 season, if according to plan Real Madrid will become a dangerous club.

Ancelotti is upset about Real Madrid's poor pre-season performance, particularly the big losses to Barcelona. It makes ancelotti feel doubt with the performance from real madrid in la liga at this moment. I saw the latest report regarding mbappe's transfer. Real madrid already rumored prepare 130m to buy mbappe.

Real Madrid are reportedly willing to splurge up to 130 million euros for him, which is a very good deal for PSG at this stage.Los Blancos have not made any substantial approach for the player at the moment, leaving him to sort out what he wants, but there is still very little clarity on what he wants, as Mbappe continues to string PSG along in this seemingly endless saga.

https://madriduniversal.com/real-madrid-prepared-to-spend-up-to-e130-million-on-french-superstar/

I hope this news will be true. Real madrid needs a great striker at this moment. Mbappe may become the only choice for real madrid as his play style really fit to the madrid's strategy at this moment.
The rumor already came first from marca. Mbappe solves the central forward problem owned by madrid. There's no a good striker that can play as good as benzema in real madrid. It's hard ancelotti to find someone to replace him.

There is a very good harmony between Simeone and Atletico Madrid. Simeone still has unfinished goals at Atletico Madrid. They are looking for success in the champions league and in La Liga their goal is the championship. In fact, although they lag behind Barcelona and Real Madrid in terms of opportunities, their success is not to be taken lightly. The influence of Diego Simeone in this is undeniable.

predicting pre season match is a bit difficult as it always has unexpected surprises so Im avoiding betting for now. but if you just speculate the match will end in a draw because Real Madrid performance in the last match was a little bad and on one side this is at home to Bilbao and according to H2H Real Madrid is superior.
in conclusion, in terms of performance, Real Madrid is superior, its just that Bilbao chances are also big to win because playing at home, of course, the supporters are a factor in this big opportunity. although there is no guarantee that playing at home has a chance of winning, the best choice is a draw.

And what is more interesting is that Atletico Madrid also gave him full confidence to remain a coach there. because it is not uncommon for me to see a club quickly end cooperation with a coach because it is considered a failure, even though, they have not lived there long.
Simeone was also not just able to stay, because he felt some pressure from the supporters because he was considered unable to make significant changes. Even last season he also sounded like he had a fractured relationship with Atletico Madrid, but that was just a rumor, and it was proven he was still here now.

I think Real Madrid will manage to win this by one goal gap.

Real Madrid's position is complete, with the exception of the striker position, but even though they have players like Rodrigo and Joselu who can fill that position, I am not satisfied with it, so I predict that Real Madrid will start La Liga in good performance and also end it in good performance. Real Madrid will try their best because they have many midfield players and also have the new sign players like Bellingham, Garcia, and Joselu, who are very talented. Since Benzema departed the squad, the real Madrid stricker position has not been in excellent shape, which is why I'm dissatisfied with it. I believe they need to find another stricker who can handle the position like Benzema.

Although Rodrigo and Joselu are capable of filling in at the position, Real Madrid should also consider how they performed against Barcelona in the preseason game. Although I recognise that Barcelona is a strong team and can defeat Real Madrid, at the very least, Real Madrid should be able to score back a goal, even if it is just one. Another issue I continue to have concerns Real Madrid's goal keeper. I recently heard that Courtios, the best custodian for Real Madrid and one of the best in the world, has injured and won't be able to join them in time for the league opener. Courtios has been instrumental in many of Real Madrid's victories against their rivals, so I hope they can manage without him.

[Bobrox]

Real Madrid fans unhappy right now after team official confirm about Thibaut Courtois leaves training after suspected ACL injury and has chance absent on the first La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao. Based on kinds of injury, seems ACL need longer time for Thibaut Courtois get recovery and he needs about two until three months later. Although still window transfer not close yet, Real Madrid not official confirming for signing goal keeper and Andriy Lunin will be first choose awhile until Thibaut Courtois recovering from ACL injury.

Last season, Andriy Lunin played seven games in La Liga with Real Madrid and not doubt with his performance during Thibaut Courtois have absent for long time, hope Real Madrid can consistent and quit well performance without have Thibaut Courtois.
