La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[slapper]

The performance of Real Madrid team tonight is a true testament that the team is gonna flourish this season...

Don't you think it's too early to judge this? It's the first game of the season, do you expect a team like Madrid to lose to Bilbao on the game week 1?...

Athletic Bilbao is a good team and can make surprises when they face top teams whenever wherever! This time Real Madrid managed to win vs them psychologically when they scored 2 goals in the first half of the game. It is nice to see Bellingham scoring since his first match.
Real Sociedad in the other hand weren't able to control their game vs Girona although they scored an early game and were leading for +65 minutes of the game..

Real Madrid, in my opinion, was ready. I mean, two goals in the opening period? If you ask me, that is Madrid putting Bilbao in its place. also Bellingham? Youngster is on fire, scoring in his debut match! However, Sociedad truly let me down. What happens after taking the lead against Girona? After scoring early, they seemed like they would walk it off, but it seems they didn't. Definitely a face-palm moment there.

Barcelona are also going to start the new season as of their away game against Getafe today. Real Madrid started really solidly despite not signing a striker in Benzema's place yet. Playing away against Athletic Bilbao isn't easy normally but Real Madrid showed it too easy. Barcelona had better give a nice answer to them.

Barcelona will face no difficulty in fighting against getafe. I think that barcelona will have the same start as real madrid to win the first game with cleansheet. IMO, barcelona's squad is much more capable compared with real madrid. Getafe will not be a hard opponent for barcelona.
Raphinha will be filling dembele's position and he is good enough as a winger. Xavi may not try to miss the first three points against getafe.

Ferran Torres will not play due to being suspended of yellow cards. As Dembele has also left the team I assume Barcelona would start with Fati and Raphinha on the wings. I wonder how Lewandowski will start to the season. He is getting even older but he is still a world-class player. I hope to see a start with at least one goal.

Raphinha is far better. Missing dembele was nothing for barcelona caused by the club is still having a lot of players are ready to play against getafe. I think that lewandowski's performance will always stable.
It doesn't matter a lot of he was aging but the fact that if he can keep his performance very stable at this moment. I think lewandowski will perform even better as he has a target to be broken this season.

[Jody.Drummer]

Real Madrid had a tough away task yesterday, especially without key player Benzema... But they managed to win against Bilbao without serious problems, scoring two goals and not conceding... I think that today for Barcelona the task will be much easier, because Getafe is a clear outsider... Although in the last three meetings Barcelona managed to win only one home game and failed to score twice on the away goals... I think they will win today...

Bilbao is already been a weak club, so winning against them isn't really a thing. In this match Joselu and Vinicius did nothing for Real Madrid, they also let Camavinga and Tchouameni to play as starting line up, Real Madrid is already in progress to replace Modric and Kroos' positions.

Vini didn't play like he usually does, it seems like he needs more time to start this competition to find his best game. getting the chance to appear as a substitute, Joselu, he hasn't shown the ability as expected.
All in all, Real Madrid played well, and we are starting to see the rotation that will be their strategy now that Modric and Kroos are no longer in the squad. Yes, they are starting to give their younger players a chance to feature from the first minute.

Barcelona will obviously win, they already show how good they're in the friendly matches.

Yes it's fair to predict they will win their first game, now they look much better prepared and stronger with some new players joining this season.
At home, although they are the favorites in this match, they must be careful. Getafe could be more than they bargained for, and surprise Barcelona.
I'm betting on Barcelona by the way.

Real Madrid would have a chance to win the title even if they lost, because this is the first round and the whole fight is still ahead For me, it is much more significant that Jude Bellingham immediately scored in his debut match for a new club and this is a very good step for adaptation. Also, a lot will depend on who will now be the main goalkeeper of the team, taking into account Courtois' injury, yet the lion's share of the team's success was associated with this figure.

Yes Real Madrid actually have a chance to win the title, because every season Real Madrid is always be the strongest club in La Liga, but I think chances of Real Madrid at this season seems like quite high. Jude Bellingham will be an important player at there and will really help Vini and Rodrygo in attack line, It's really nice Real Madrid have three young attackers, it looks like we will see a tough competition until the end between Real Madrid vs Barcelona.

Yeah I noticed that as well right from the pre-season normally in matches against lesser teams vini jnr would always make good attempts to get goals but chances where coming from Rodrygo and Bellingham and this match has shown that Madrid needs a better striker other than Joselu to get more goals if not they'll have to keep relying on goals from the flanks and midfield area
 
 I like the fact that the coach is giving younger players chances to express themselves and develop into world class players not all matches that you'll rely on old experienced players atleast they'll rotate them tougher opponets like Athletico Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, well as for Barcelona they've been impressive in the pre-season and I think they'll dominant against Getafe since they've got a better squad than last season.

Barcelona will be my favorite team in this match, because they have proven how strong they are in the pre-season match that made them to defeated their opponent with many goals, which they can still apply the same method in this first match to defeat Getafe in their home. I think, Barcelona will not allow Real Madrid to top them in this la Liga league table season than to do everything possible within their capacity to achieve three points from this match to make their fans happy and have hope of winning this title again. Getafe will struggle for draw in this match, but Barcelona strikers will not allow such thing to happen in this match than to apply their new tactics to defeat Getafe 2-1 to embrace the three points from the match.

Real Madrid seemed to have started to find their rhythm in the opening match of La Liga against Bilbao and it looked like they were relaxed enough to do so by winning 2-0. Using the new formation from Ancelotti 4-4-2 diamond is something they have to understand and all the players seem quite able to adapt to this new formation. However, I often still see failures for the attack line which is filled by Vini and Rodrygo who don't really understand this formation, but in my opinion Rodrygo is still better than Vini.

But of all the things that stand out the most are the 4 midfielders owned by Real Madrid who play so rhythmically in this formation without any pressure. I think without Kross and Modric, these four young midfielders are ready to replace their senior roles. Jude Bellingham is probably the best midfielder so far and he also scored 1 goal with his casual kick on his debut in this match and delivered him as man of the match.

Jude Bellingham managed to mark his debut in La Liga by scoring one goal, Ancelotti managed to concoct a 4-1-2-1-2 formation and reserve Kroos and Modric. Madrid played matches without a pure striker, this is something new because it is a habit for Madrid to always have a benzema at number 9. But Ancelotti move was quite successful, this could be a sign that Ancelotti wants to gradually reduce the role of senior midfielders Kroos and Modric.

Lunin, who appeared as a substitute for Courtois, also managed to keep the net without conceding a goal. Maybe Madrid won't need Kepa if Lunin can keep up his good form.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

That's what happens almost every season, the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona for the title but it's too early to say that, the season has just started.
Real Madrid's first match was still not good in my opinion even though they won 2 goals, Real Madrid's front line which only relies on young players I think is still not optimal, Real Madrid at this time is like a team that is not ready to compete, they don't have a pure striker who is capable after leaving Benzema and not having a goalkeeper after courtois injury.

This is what happens in the first few rounds of the league. I remember last season when Madrid started better than Barcelona and there was a lot of talk about Barcelona's financial problems, which they still have. But within a couple of months Barcelona turned the tables and ended up winning the league, so now we can only speculate.

I think until we're 10 or so matches we can't really start to get an idea of where things are going to go.

You are just very right, this is just the start of the season, we can not know exactly who is going to win yet. Real Madrid was able to win Atletic Bilbao and some other clubs won their matches as well. In today's match, Barcelona too will likely win Getafe which is one of the matches that I am going for today. As the season goes on with more matches played, the more we would know the club that will likely win La Liga.

Carlo Ancelotti looks to have tried Jude Bellingham to be a fake 9 rather than a second striker. Jude Bellingham was more dangerous in the opponent's penalty area, for the midfielders of the CVT trio (Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni) in that match it was very convincing and cool. Tchouameni keeps balance, Valverde destroys opponents, Camavinga with his typical ups and downs with high cruising range. Special credit to Fran Garcia, this tiny player is very dangerous.

On the other hand, what is interesting about Real Madrid is that it has been proven that Lunin is a starter, Real Madrid always keeps a clean sheet, apart from the lack of an attack line due to the absence of pure stickers, Real Madrid is able to do it. played solidly without conceding goals, because in the pre-season Real Madrid was the source of goals, GWS for Militao, hopefully he gets better soon, hopefully consistent.

Camavinga, Valverde and Tchouameni are players who will replace Kroos, Modric and Casemiro for Real Madrid in coming years if they continue to grow up well. Camavinga is like Modric and Tchouameni is like Casemiro while Valverde is like Kroos. Those players are in a long term plan of Real Madrid to gradually replace their legendary midfielders.

Jude scored more goals for Dortmund in the last season than earlier years but he still is far from a good fake 9 but such trial will help Jude improving his skills as well as visions on field. Honestly I did not know about Fran Garcia but let's hope he will grow up well in a new season.

At the start of the season, it is difficult to determine which club is appropriate, whether Madrid or Barcelona will be an option that is always not much different. The two of them will always be competing at the top of the standings. At this time, Madrid was having pretty good points and Bellingham scored his first goal in La Liga. Overall we will see the great aggression that Barcelona does. So the tough competition can be seen after several matches took place. Barcelona will face Getafe, of course this is not difficult if you look into Xavi's squad, achieving full points can be easily obtained.

It is certain that Barcelona will be the favorite team in this match, after all, the two teams have a gap in terms of the level of their players. Apart from that, the bookie gives odds @ 1.59 for Barcelona, ​​while Getafe with odds of @6.40. it's just that, for me personally, the pre-season match that Barcelona played is not a benchmark in our assessment.

Moreover, if we refer to the predicted line-up of these two teams. it seems, it is likely that the course of the match will take place quite tough. I can't be sure that this match will be won easily by Barcelona, ​​if I refer to the predicted line-up of the two teams that will compete today. Apart from that, there are several Barcelona players who are doubtful that they will play in this match, such as Gavi, Ferran Torres, Christensen. most likely, if Xavi will not apply his flagship system in this match. however, let's see how the Barcelona players carry out this match. even so, my focus is on Barcelona's midfield, where it looks like Barca will play four midfielders namely, Gundohan, De Jong, Romeu and Pedri, let's say the line-up is in accordance with what Xavi used in this match. so, the game Barcelona will focus on their midfield.

Instead, the home team seems to be using a defensive system. they would only aim for a counterattack. referring to the predicted line-up, Jose Bordalas will use the 5-3-2 system. that means, they will focus on the defense line. counterattack, if you have the chance. if Getafe's system is like this, it can be predicted that they will play more long passes. Anyway Barcelona will win this game, but it doesn't look like there will be many goals. the final result with a score of 2-0 for Barcelona's victory.

The performance of Real Madrid team tonight is a true testament that the team is gonna flourish this season. I was surprised to see Aurélien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham who was signed in the summer transfer window start the game together while veteran players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos were left in the bench.
Rodrygo I think will have one his best season as Real Madrid player in this campaign. Madrid needs just a recognized lethal striker to have an almost perfect team.

Joselu is not an attacker who will be Ancelotti choice as a substitute for Benzema because in the first match of the season Joselu only played as a substitute and he came on in the 80th minute to replace Rodrygo. I think Ancelotti will bring in a centre-forward who will perfect their squad even more.

So, Brahim Diaz just sat pretty on the bench until the end of the game. I hope ancelotti gives him a bigger chance because he did quite well with ac milan last season. But the competition to win over Ancelotti heart is quite difficult because of the many quality players in the depths of the real madrid squad.

This was first game of the new season with very long time ahead and many challenging games are also waiting for the rest of the season we can't judge anything from this one match many ups and downs are going to happen these players and Carlos Ancelotti is well experienced coach which understand all good and bad ways of his team and also can read his opponents as well even after first game now many views are change about Real Madrid but still we can expect good changes from the coach for the better performance in coming matches because now they are looking for the title which is never been easy while Barcelona is also doing his best for this season again.

Joselu surely will change his playing style if he wants to stay in this team for sometime with few good players are also waiting on bench can be gone through in coming matches which surely bring change games momentum for them.

Barcelona started the season with a stunning thrashing of Tottenham. The team players are playing every match with great responsibility. As a result, the team is able to win the match despite being behind in goals. Xavi's tactics have worked brilliantly for Barcelona.

Getafe will struggle for draw in this match, but Barcelona strikers will not allow such thing to happen in this match than to apply their new tactics to defeat Getafe 2-1 to embrace the three points from the match.

I know how strong Getafe always looks when they are playing at home; they always give Barcelona a big tough time by not giving them any chances to score, so even today I am not expecting much from Barcelona because it has been over like five games that Barcelona has not been able to win Getafe in their home game, so even if I want to bet on their match I will prefer to stake on under goals.

Regarding how impressive Barcelona was throughout the preseason, I sincerely admire their efforts, but I am aware that the preseason and the regular season are never the same. There are often teams that don't perform well in preseason games but really come into their own during the regular season. The fact that Getafe only lost two of their six preseason games while winning the other four shows that even they weren't that poor, as opposed to Barcelona, who played five preseason games and won four while losing one.

Carlo Ancelotti's tactics of playing Jude Bellingham as the false 9 in that game worked well for him and I know he'll see it as another managerial prowess and efficiency from himself.
However, I don't think it'll work well with other opponents they're gonna face in the remainder of the season. The earlier the club gets a world class striker that'll replace the outgone Karim Benzema the better for them

[boltz]

Very curious to see how Barca will perform tonight after we saw Real Madrid dominating the entire game against Bilbao so even if this is the first game of Barca , there is a slight pressure on them to take 3 points.

However , my game of the day is Villareal - Betis , two teams who love to score and play offensive football so it should be a spectacle.

In today's match, Barcelona too will likely win Getafe which is one of the matches that I am going for today. As the season goes on with more matches played, the more we would know the club that will likely win La Liga.

Last season even though Barcelona was still in financial trouble but still, when Xavi became Barcelona coach at least it was also a sign. That Barcelona was able to compete well in the title race, because at that time Xavi managed to quickly improve Barcelona position to a very good position. So yes, even though Barcelona still had financial problems last season, but in fact Barcelona managed to bring in Lewandowski and several other star players. Thus basically, at least Barcelona is can predictable for get the title because Xavi has good skills in La Liga. Also for now, I personally still quite sure that Xavi still has the ability to keep Bacelona strong at the top of the La Liga standings.
