La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[MuffinMaster]

In Spain, Sevilla started the season badly.Sevilla lost 2-1 at home to Valencia and started the season without points and I think we can say that it was a bad result for them.Sevilla has a good squad and I did not expect them to play so badly in their home game.There were no goals in the first half, but the game became lively after the goals in the second half. Sevilla was reduced to 10 men after Bade was red carded in minute 81 and Sevilla conceded the second goal 7 minutes later and lost 2-1.I thought Sevilla, last season's UEFA Europa League champions, would start the league well after this success, but it was not what I expected.Last year, they managed to lift the European Cup even though they had bad results in the league.

I think maybe Sevilla still has no significant development for their performance in La Liga although indeed, of course this early defeat also does not guarantee Sevilla will continue fall too like last season. But maybe, if Sevilla still play with 11 players in this match, then maybe the end result is a 1-1 draw. Because after all, Valencia second goal was also created after Sevilla played with only 10 players. So yes, anyway Sevilla will still have a great chance to rise, and fortunately for me also only bet safe for this match with that option.

Sevilla managed to perform fairly well last season. But it is not right to judge the future by looking at the first few matches of this season. Hope the team will come back well.

Rayo were leading by 2 goals at half time. Not even 30 minutes into the game, they had 2 penalties, and they had 2 successful penalties from 2 different players. Almeria tried to fight back, and they were able to gain a bit of the upper hand in possession, but they couldn't break the deadlock to create a goal and narrow the gap.
They weren't lost yet, there was 45 minutes of the second half that they could have used to equalize or even turn the game around. It's hard enough to make that happen, but nothing is impossible. At the end of the first half Rayo also relaxed their attack a little.

Two penalties in the first half against the home side Almeria is something the coach have to look into because is not going to be easy to come back from a 2nil lead. Well the second half is not going to be calm but we're going to see more goals and I don't see the away team backing out neither the home team to seat back, I expect more goals in the second half.
IMO, is going to be all about the home team to come back and draw the game

The advantage for the visiting club lasted until the end of the match. Almeria tried to play catch-up, but they were unable to find a goal in this match. It seems that this defeat was based on the players' lack of concentration, so the goal could only come from a penalty.
Such is Sevlla, they were strong last season in the Europa League but in La Liga they struggled, it looks like the same thing will happen. What do you think?

I agree with you that the red card was not the only reason why they lost this match.
They must improve if they don't want to repeat the same thing as last season. The Europa League title should be a motivation for them, because we know that they have the potential to be a good club. And they have done it in the past 2 seasons, yes even though in the end they had to decline towards the end of the season.

There is another interesting match that will take place in a few hours between Atl Bilbao v Real Madrid. The first challenge for El Real. Atl Bilbao are not a club to be underestimated, especially as this is their home game.
The potential for Bilbao to beat Don Carlo's club is open in this match. Indeed, Real Madrid are more favored, but they must be extra vigilant, especially this is the first match.

I was also considering Sevilla as the favorite in this match. But I didn't bet on this game because the first games are prone to such surprising results. I think it's normal to see surprise results in the first few weeks.

There are a few games tonight. But I think the most important one is between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. This season Real Madrid have signed Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, Fran Garcia from Rayo Vallecano and Arda Güler from Fenerbahçe. They have lowered the average age of their squad. Last season they were far behind Barcelona. I have no doubt they will try to do better this year. I see them as favorites in this match.

One of the reasons behind the defeat of the Sevilla team is that the team's defense performed very poorly. The attacking part of the opposition team was able to score 2 goals by applying extraordinary tactics. Sevilla will need to do better in defense later on.

[HT] Real Sociedad 1 - 0 Girona

Although overall Girona dominated the game, until now Girona have not been able to provide resistance and score goals for them. Real Sociedad were a bit lucky to get a goal early in the game scored by Takefusa Kubo. I think that if the game pattern of the two teams stays the way they are now, Girona will score a goal, although basically I still believe that Real Sociedad will probably score some goals again.

Real Sociedad are the favorites to win today's match despite Girona's somewhat dominating first half. Girona hasn't really posed a threat to Real Sociedad's defense even though they have a high possession percentage so far. Sociedad will likely win the match by more than 1 goal, but the second half is still long enough to earn some of the different results.

I don't think Girona can equalize if they don't capitalize on their chances well, but the probability of a draw is still quite high as long as Sociedad can't score a second goal. But I don't think it's a draw, of course because I'm sure Real Sociedad will win it.

Madrid did bring in a number of new players and did not lack players in several lines of their squad, but keep in mind that the Madrid goalkeeper is injured, so ancelotti has not confirmed who will replace Courtois temporarily. news has been heard for a replacement for Courtois against Athletic Bilbao later.

Hear the news Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says his team will not be bringing in a goalkeeper ahead of the league restart to replace injured Thibaut Courtois. Ancelotti says reserve goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is ready to fill the void left by Courtois. I hope whoever is guarding Madrid's goal in the match will be able to guard against goals so that they don't lose points in the first La Liga match.

Rodrygo, Vini Jr., Joselu these three stars are now the hope of Real Madrid, these three players have enough skills. As much performance as we expect from these three but they are not able to give that much performance till now. Relying on these three attacking stars, Real Madrid decided to wait another year for Mbappe, if these three do not perform as expected by Madrid then it could be a mistake for them not to bring Mbappe to their team this season. The main stage match has not started yet, before the main stage match started, Real Madrid has already played a preparatory match where they were completely defeated. They must learn from the matches they lost, Real Madrid must improve where they did poorly. If Rodrygo, Vini Jr, Joselu can play at their best and if Jude Bellingham can provide good support from the midfield, then something good can be done with this team.

It seems that Real Madrid are satisfied with the squad they currently have, there is no new breakthrough from Real Madrid to bring in new players, especially in the striker position. Real Madrid will have to rely on Rodrygo, Vini Jr and Joselu up front for their challenge in the new season. Rumors about Mbappe began to fade after Real Madrid did not react further to sign him.

Actually Real Madrid really needed the presence of a top striker after Benzema left, but Real Madrid chose another way to sign Mbappe by waiting for another year so they could secure his signature for free. I have a little doubt about Real Madrid's ability this season with the quality of the strikers they currently have, hopefully one of Real Madrid's strikers won't be in the treatment room for a long time, if this happens, then Real Madrid will have a hard time competing for the title.

Lucky you, you are still getting half win from sevilla's game. I thought that if sevilla could win the game easily as it was playing at home but i was wrong. Sevilla's defenders playing shit this day. Sevilla player was doing unnecessary thing to get a red card.
The result may be even better if there would be no red card comes to the sevilla's player. I hate to say this but sevilla was performing so badly especially after the first goal from sevilla.
The club was not consistently defending from valencia's attack. What a garbage performance from sevilla.

Real Madrid and Kepa has just come to full agreement, he'll be part of the project on loan, I don't know how long this might be but nobody wants to say no to Real Madrid whenever they come knocking on the door.
They might get errors today but they won't experience such when they go on for match day 2 next week during the next La Liga fixture.

Jokingly heard people saying they'll bring in Camavinga as the next goal keeper but I know that will never happen. The lad seems versatile and also a utility player but he won't be used for that role. David De Gea has no chance given to him, it shows he's fully lost to number one role to the Spanish number 1 Goal Keeper. My tonight prediction for Real Madrid is to get the score sheet even. We'll see.

[AakZaki]

I didn't hear much when Courtois was injured. It turned out that he had an ACL injury, and it seemed to take a while to heal. But maybe it won't be a problem because the transfer market is still quite open so they still have time to shop for goalkeepers. In addition, they currently have Lunin, there is Lucas Canizares, the main goalkeeper of the Real Madrid Castilla academy, and Fran Gonzalez, who is the main goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Juvenil A. Indeed, there are many rumors that Anceloti is hunting for a goalkeeper, Sevilla's main names are Yassine Bounou, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Hugo Lloris, Keylor Navas, but it seems that De Gea's options are also good on a free transfer.

Nice win away and it's a good start for Valencia after a slump last season. The composure shown by the player who helped Diakhaby score the first goal was invaluable, and how cool Javi Guerra scored in the last minutes and finally a coach realized that he could get a lot from Diakhaby as his pivot. Even though it's only the start of the season, I'm sure Valencia will bounce back this season without a doubt.

They play collectively and work very hard in every game. Because I see Valencia's mission this season is still the same, getting 40 points faster, aka avoiding further degradation with a rudimentary squad. This defeat will certainly be a serious evaluation for Sevilla in the upcoming matches so that they don't easily drop points again, let alone playing at home.

I predicted beforehand that Valencia would win by a narrow margin. My estimate, the fight will end 0-1. but what I predicted was a little off, even though Valencia's guess would win the game over Sevilla. statistically the home team slightly dominated the game, especially in the first half.
but Sevilla didn't really have many opportunities to threaten Valencia's goal. of the 3 attempted shots, only one was able to hit the target. in the second half the two teams almost had the same chances, it's just that Valencia was better than the home team. unfortunately, the home team was rewarded with a red card which was an advantage for Valencia. which in the end, Valencia was able to score their winning goal in the 88th minute.

As a result, Seville was humiliated at home.unfortunately, I didn't bet on this match even though previously I favored Valencia to win this match. on the Valencian side, this match meant a lot to them and provided motivation to be better than the previous season.

[JeffBrad12]

So last night Sevilla lost against Valencia at home and I don't understand why they lost. Shouldn't Sevilla be able to secure full points as hosts but they are having a hard time doing that. Valencia came as a guest, of course he also didn't think they could steal points and this is an important capital for the next match. Sevilla even had to suffer the loss of losing their players due to a red card in the 81st minute and that was probably the result of their frustration at not being able to win. Well, however, Sevilla must correct their mistakes so that they don't repeat themselves in next week's match.

Sevilla defeat was quite absurd since they are playing home, the red card isn't the only cause of their defeat and they should fix their issues otherwise this season will be the same as the previous one which isn't good.. A defeat vs Valencia in the beginning of the season isn't that bad after all if they could improve their results later.

True, im feeling so strange with the result from sevilla. Sevilla was superior against valencia but in my understanding if sevilal was not lucky enough against valencia. I meant sevilla has the same opportunities like valencia. It seems like that sevilla needs to be even more careful.
The inconsistentcy from the defensive line becomes the major problem after valencia was scoring. Sevilla could win the game as long as it was playing safely before the game was gonna end.
Sevilla needs to learn more from the result against valencia. I meant if sevilla needs to fix its problem. It seems like the internal problem was giving more burden to the player. I hope sevilla will come back again later.

Real Madrid is on the agenda with a lot of injury news these days. First, high potential young player Arda Güler was injured, now Courtois. 6 months is a long time, the goalkeeper is one of the most important players. Their backup goalie isn't bad, but of course they may have a harder time this year. I don't know if they will decide to make a new transfer

Although overall Girona dominated the game, until now Girona have not been able to provide resistance and score goals for them. Real Sociedad were a bit lucky to get a goal early in the game scored by Takefusa Kubo. I think that if the game pattern of the two teams stays the way they are now, Girona will score a goal, although basically I still believe that Real Sociedad will probably score some goals again.

My prediction was Real Sociedad to win or draw. The match is a draw. Despite Real Sociedad's good performances, they could not win. Sociedad played attacking from the beginning of the match. And in just 5 minutes they managed to score a goal. However, despite attacking a lot in the whole match, the team could not score any more goals. Girona, on the other hand, played somewhat defensively in this match. Even then they launched several powerful attacks. They managed to equalize the match in the second half. However, they shared the points in the first match of the season. I hope Real Sociedad will be able to perform better in the upcoming matches. And we will see this team at the top of the table.

A defeat vs Valencia in the beginning of the season isn't that bad after all if they could improve their results later.

Very disappointing, Europa League winner Sevilla lost at home against Valencia, it's bad they started this season without points. You're right, the red card wasn't the only reason for their defeat. José Luis Mendilibar has to change his strategy so that in the upcoming match they can get full points, it will be very disappointing if they can't get 3 points because their opponent is Alaves next in La Liga.

Don't worry too much about the first match, think of it as a bad first day and I'm sure Jose Luis Mendilibar can take valuable lessons from this defeat to improve the strategy that must be changed for the next match.
The next match I think will not only be with Alaves but also have to win the super cup title against Manchester city.
If you only play against Alaves it seems very easy for Sevilla to beat the club because looking at matches in the past the two clubs have met and Alves has never beaten Sevilla and vice versa Sevilla beat 3x.
I don't expect more in every match but my hope is enough for Sevilla to defend its title in european league even though it bad in LaLiga at least it has a good title in other competitions.

Sevilla performed exceptionally well in La Liga last season in comparison. The team came in at the last minute and put on an exceptionally competitive performance. Hope this team will do well in other leagues this season.

Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid

One hour left for super big match in La Liga between Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid and first match opening for both team in La Liga season 2023/24, bad news for Madrid current line up confirmed they have loss main goals keeper Thibaut Courtois after injury few days before and his position replacing by Andriy Lunin, based on Real Madrid line up confirmed, looks Rodrygo move up as center forward, for left and right winger will place by Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior. Have good expectation with new signing Jude Bellingham and Francisco Garcia will make debut in this match. I think Real Madrid not face difficult yet for winning first match in la liga and get three points against Athletic Bilbao.

Bordalas took over at the end of the season in Getafe last year, keeping his team in the league and is entering the new season at the head of his team. It will not be easy for him to raise the team to the level of European cups, as in his first period, but I guess we will continue to see a very stubborn Getafe on defense. Except for Lozano, they did not make any significant reinforcements to the attack. Enes Ünal is still in recovery after a serious injury and is an important loss for Getafe.

The last champion Barcelona Ilkay Gundogan added strength to his squad with Romeu and Martinez. It is unclear whether these players will be licensed in time due to La Liga's very strict limit practices. In this respect, it is useful to look at the squads for those who will bet. Even if Barça has a full roster, I think they will need time to unlock the away opponent. A sluggish match in the first half and unlocked in the second half awaits us.

AakZaki, it looks like Real Madrid will soon complete a loan transfer for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for one season. I have just received news that Kepa Arrizabalaga has agreed to join Real Madrid even if only on loan. Fabrizio Romano also seemed to have confirmed that in a Twitter post a few hours ago, so Real Madrid are unlikely to be too troubled as long as Thibaut Courtois is out injured.

Kepa Arrizabalaga would be a good signing to replace Thibaut Courtois, but it will all depend on his form when he plays. Today Real Madrid will play Andriy Lunin as goalkeeper, but I think he is the best choice at the moment. Ancelotti also left out Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the first half and he has opted for Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde in midfield. I hope that all the players in the main line-up can play their best so that victory can be expected to come true.
