La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Awaklara]

Barcelona had a bad run against Getafe in away matches in the recent years. And this continued not to change as of their latest match as well. If Raphinha played in a more disciplined way maybe they could have won this match. He just got a yellow card in the 38th minute and only four minutes later he got a red card.    The conditions got equal a little time after the second half started though because Mata also got a red card. But still Barcelona couldn't break the deadlock.

Xavi's getting a red card made things even harder for Barcelona as he couldn't communicate with the players on the pitch. This is a poor start for Barcelona.

unexpectedly the first match was hot from both teams. there are Lewandowsky and Gundogan in the team, but Barcelona still failed to get a goal. many chances were created but they still couldn't score the winning goal.
looks like Xavi has a lot of work to do to improve how his players have to work as a team. they put in a pretty good game actually in pre-season. but it's a shame they started the season not so well.

[Razmirraz]

Yes it is what is needed at the moment, the arrival of Joselu also did not make many people happy, because it did not match expectations. I don't mean to underestimate Joselu's ability, but I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Rotating players to give young players a chance is a form of preparation that Real Madrid are doing, they are well aware that the senior names that are now in the squad will not be in the line-up for long, and they are smart because they prepare for it before the player leaves and I think it is a positive thing that they are doing.

Real Madrid brought in Joselu only as a complement to their squad, he can be used as a solution to overcome the problems that occur in the striker position. Real Madrid will not rely on Joselu as a main player, this reason is reinforced by the way Real Madrid brought him.
After losing several important players in the striker position, Real Madrid struggled to find replacements in the vacant positions. Ancelotti can still include several young players from the club's academy to play in several other matches in the Super Cup or CDR, due to the limited stock of reliable players in the striker position, Ancelotti must be careful in making decisions.

The parking buss strategy was very effective in preventing barcelona from winning the game. I think another club shall try to repeat this strategy for upcoming week. Barcelona faces difficulty to break getafe's great wall. It's a very good performance from getafe to steal 1 point from the big club. Getafe knows what must be done by the club to make sure it will able to steal point from barcelona. Barcelona was even getting red card.

Getafe was able making all of players are feeling so stressed. GGWP for getafe. My expectation to hold barcelona is coming true. I don't expect getafe to win the match but getting draw was enough for that club.
I would like to see the barcelona to face more opponents that used parking bus strategy. Parking buss is key to prevent barcelona from winning the game.

Not all teams will target the same result, namely a draw against Barcelona because the teams that are struggling to be in the European zone will try to get full points, and I'm pretty sure Barcelona will grow even more so they can handle it well when facing teams with a strategy. as implemented by Getafe. But being able to get one point against Barcelona was quite profitable for Getafe because a club like Getafe is the target of strong clubs to be able to get full points.
I just watched the highlights of the match, and actually Barcelona had some really good chances but all of them failed to get past Getafe's goal, and it looked like the game was really intense.

Barcelona looked like unlucky to make proper finishing but getafe deserves it. Stealing 1 point from barcelona is good enough. Barcelona tries so hard to break the defensive line of getafe. Barcelona got 75% of ball possession, which means if the club was dominating the ball full time.
Getafe was only getting 25% of ball possessions. The defensive line of getafe is very solid. It makes barcelona players tried so hard in passing the defenders of getafe.

In other matches, Real Madrid won 3 points and their new midfielder managed to score one goal and with this win opens up opportunities for tough competition in the standings later

Jude bellingham scoring his first goal in la liga. Madrid is now is having more points compared with barcelona but we are 37 weeks away from the end of season.  

The competition gonna be very intense when it comes to the end of season.

[piebeyb]

Yesterday I thought that Getafe and Barcelona might draw, because Barca's last two away games against Getafe also ended in a draw without goals... Yesterday was the third such game, although the match was really interesting.... Unfortunately Barca's win was the last event in my multi bet and I lost...

The first La Liga match this season barcelona seems to have difficulty scoring goals even though there are several opportunities, but this is still at the beginning of the season sometimes the club is always awkward when their first match at the club for that it's only natural if the result is a draw at least get one point and don't lose points, even so still Xavi must be able to overhaul what is lacking from the strategy he implemented.

Even Xavi had to leave the field because of his behavior and was given a red card, that's why the result was a draw due to a lack of focus on the game, Xavi had to fix it all so that in the next match he didn't disappoint his supporters, especially of course winning La Liga this season maybe be the main target. Barcelona already has a good squad, it's just that this first match was a little disappointing but this is a start that must be understood too, even though I also lost the bet

The reasons can only be exclusive of the lack of athletic fitness of the players. At this stage of the championship the reason can only be that and therefore they can easily improve.
Seems like that to me honestly, maybe I'm wrong.

Barcelona kept their match strategy unchanged from last season. They wanted to control the match by possession of the ball. And in this match, Barcelona have 75% of the ball possession. However, after Raphinha received a red card in the first half of the match, Barcelona's attacking performance was a bit slow. This is why Barcelona can't score any goals. Getafe also played completely defensively in this match. Barcelona made several attacks but failed to score.

Barcelona started this season with the less than best outcome. Barcelona actually played very dominant with 75% ball possession but it's a shame they had trouble breaking through Getafe's defense, which played pretty well. The match was running with high tension, as a result, the referee issued 3 red cards and 8 yellow cards. I think Barcelona is definitely expecting a win in this game, but in football, anything can happen.

In the last five games Granada have won four times, while Atletico Madrid have won only once, against Manchester City, but have drawn three times. Of course Granada is not a serious opponent for Atletico Madrid, especially since it will be a home game. But still I have my doubts that Atletico Madrid will win this game easily. This is the first game of the season.

wait a minute, you say Granada last five matches with other teams is very unreasonable as an assessment that Granada has a strong performance like Atletico Madrid but try to judge from the last five matches when playing against Atletico whether Granada can still be said to be able to match Atletico performance while Granada only have beaten 1x and Atletico 3x. it does not make sense to me if you say Atletico Madrid won't be easy to win against Granada because even though its the first game but there no doubt that Atletico will be superior on one hand this match takes place at home to Atletico which gives a bigger chance to win.
my advice is that you better try to predict and analyze again whether what you are predicting is correct at this time because it is very risky if later you bet on a draw or bet on Granada.

I wouldn't say Granada have no chance of winning this match. They haven't lost their last two games against Atletico Madrid. One home game they managed to win, one away game they drew. All of that was last season. I don't know how they will play today, I also think that Atletico Madrid should win. But still, for example yesterday Barcelona showed a bad game against Getafe, when everyone was sure of their win. This is an example of expectation.

I do Joselu has been added to the squad to fill Benzema's void. But it is done for next 1 season. Madrid probably have no desire to keep Joselu in the team permanently. At the same time, Ancelotti knows very well that joselu will not be able to completely fill Benzema's void. I would say Joselu has been added to the squad to bolster Madrid's attack a bit. Not as a replacement for Benzema. Joselu might be able to score more goals with Madrid if he can settle himself into the squad. However, it will not be possible for Joselu to fill the void of Benzema. Madrid are looking for an experienced scorer. Mbappe is probably their main target. Next season, Madrid are likely to spend big on Ancelotti to strengthen their squad.

In the match against Getafe, Barcelona actually played very well. But Getafe succeeded in creating a solid defensive wall in this match. The 4-5-1 formation is really a troublesome formation for your opponent if you focus on defense. And the Getafe players also succeeded in provoking the emotions of the Barcelona players. So many fouls were committed by Getafe players in this match. To the extent that Xavi protested to the referee because too many violations were allowed. And the result was that Xavi was also given a red card. And clearly this is detrimental to Barcelona. Because in the next two matches it seems that Xavi will not be able to accompany the club on the field if he is subject to sanctions.

[HajiBagi]

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.

I don't know about the rest,but in my opinion, these midfielders are the best in the league this year. To be honest, Real Madrid's midfield players are excellent and very good, and I really enjoy watching them play against Atletico Bilbao because they hold their positions well and even attack the players from every opponent who will have an impact on them. Real Madrid never regrets signing a player, especially Bellingham. When I first heard about him and real Madrid spent a lot of money to sign him, I assumed they did so because they saw a bright future for him. Bellingham plays exceptionally well and is poised to help real Madrid finish the season strongly.

Real Madrid didn't have a player shortage again, with the exception of a goalkeeper, and I think they have good plans for it. However, I still think that lunin, the goalkeeper who played against Bilbao for Real Madrid, gave it his all and that Real Madrid should occasionally use him because I saw him put on a strong performance that would lead Real Madrid to use him as their starting goalkeeper. Even if Real Madrid gets a another goal keeper I think they should still use him to make him feel comfortable.

Barcelona could not get full points in the first match. The match was a goalless draw. I think many gamblers lost their money in this match. Because no one thought that the Barcelona team would fail to win against a team like Getafe in the first match of the season.

Barcelona kept their match strategy unchanged from last season. They wanted to control the match by possession of the ball. And in this match, Barcelona have 75% of the ball possession. However, after Raphinha received a red card in the first half of the match, Barcelona's attacking performance was a bit slow. This is why Barcelona can't score any goals. Getafe also played completely defensively in this match. Barcelona made several attacks but failed to score.

Right, there will be lots of gamblers who will lose this bet. because, theoretically Getafe has a fairly obvious gap from Barcelona. Barcelona are the reigning La Liga champions, while Getafe finished 15th last season. unfortunately, the match was running with high tension which in the end Raphinha was rewarded with a red card. if I refer to the statistics of the match, in this match Barcelona was just unlucky to win the match. in terms of play, Barcelona controlled 75% of ball possession, 14 attempted shots, 4 shots on target, 4 big opportunities, but none of them were able to convert into goals. tactically, Barcelona is far superior to Getafe.

Naturally, because Getafe prefers the option to play defensively. Apart from that, several players in Getafe's defense did play quite well, so that Barcelona found it difficult to break into the opposing team's goal. plus, the appearance of the goalkeeper David Soria was quite impressive by making three saves. as a result, the game ended with a score of 0-0.
IMO, it looks like Xavi made the wrong decision regarding the rotation of his players, in which Xavi applied the 4-2-3-1 pattern. maybe, if Gavi is played as the main starter, Gundohan plays in the middle, or duets with De Jong, the situation will be different. but at least Xavi knew what he had to improve from his squad regardless of Raphina getting a red card. The result of this match was reminiscent of Barcelona's match last season which was held to a draw by Rayo at the start of the La Liga match. Furthermore, Barcelona must overthrow Cadiz in next week's meeting.

Real Madrid performance was impressive in the match and I see that same good football from the players. The midfield is the best presently and I don't think that any club will be able to have such good midfield. Ancelotti is showing his has good potential as a coach from the way he has done is new formation to play that match. This was the first match and they won the game easily with an excellent victory. I know that this season will the season for Real Madrid to win the Laliga title and other titles too. Their rival Barca drew their first match which isn't a good start for them this season. As for Lunin,he did put in his best in the match but I don't know if he can be the number one keeper in the club,it is his performance in matches and the coach that can decide this.

[emrecemsan]

This is technically a similar start to the previous season for Real Madrid and Barcelona. Barcelona were again struggling to win despite being the better side and got a draw. Real Madrid won their first match at the same time. But after that Barcelona started to take control of the league slowly. Maybe Barcelona are just not good at making a good start to a new season in the recent times that's all. 

But of course I'm not saying that it will be the same scenario again. Because this time I see much more in Real Madrid players. As of Bellingham's arrival as well they have got even stronger. Besides Ancelotti must have also learned his lesson from the previous season. I hope to see a huge rivalry for the title until the end this time.

Maybe it's the start of the season and it's still early enough to tell because after all, Madrid and Barcelona need to maximize results in La Liga with the most collection of points.

I want to comment on the Barcelona vs Getafe match which ended in an unexpected result. Barcelona should win with full points and have no problems against Getafe. However, it turned out that Xavi troops showed a bad game. I honestly call it bad to get a red card and no goals are scored. This result is clearly more detrimental to Barcelona, in terms of players and stability. That's why I appreciate the Getafe players who were able to fight and withstand Barcelona's aggression.

From this first match, Xavi had to evaluate a lot, especially his players, who for some reason didn't seem to be playing as usual. The gameplay is beautiful, controlled and has a sharp attack rate that isn't too high-profile.

[rendravolt]

Finally, the rumors about who the injured goalkeeper will replace Courtois have received an answer and Real Madrid have announced their recruitment via their social media. He is the Chelsea keeper Kepa who is on loan for a season to replace Courtois and I think this is a pretty good signing. There were rumors that Bounou from Sevilla was Real Madrid's target, but considering that Sevilla wanted a permanent deal for Bounou, this made Real Madrid discourage him. Now Kepa will become a pillar for Real Madrid and of course his battle with Lunin for the main place will soon be carried out.

Real Madrid bouncing back to LA Liga with so much fire this new season, already got the good quality players that would upgrade the club's performance. Carlo Ancelotti is satisfied to work with the new players, he ensured he filled in every gap left in his squad. However his team got a little bit challenges this season, with injuries hitting his crucial players, but he fixed it. Real Madrid signed Arrizagbala Kepa on loan from chelsea, it's very important Los Blancos gets a replacement for Thibaut Courtois and they did, the Belgium international was ruled out for 6-7 months due to a severe injury he sustained in his left knee.

[marcous]

Despite the many incidents that occurred and the red cards that were received by players from both teams, I saw that Barcelona's front line was not playing effectively and also the midfield was unable to provide the maximum supply of balls for the front lines to create an opportunity for goals. .
Barcelona controlled 75% of ballpositions but they were only able to make 4 shots on target and no goals were scored, I think this is a problem on their front line.
This is a pretty bad start to the season for Barcelona in my opinion.

A match full of drama might be the overall picture for the Getave vs Barcelona party. Xavi, who reacted too violently, received a red card, and each of Raphinha camps and Jaime Mata Getafe also received red cards. The draw put Barcelona in a difficult position, because in the future Xavi will be absent to accompany his squad.

Lots of opportunities created for both sides, but failed to become a goal. Gondogan made his debut in La Liga, but Barca had to be willing to share points.

Last season they lost the league trophy to Barcelona and also missed out on getting the champions league trophy when they got beaten by Manchester City in the finals, so i think this season they'll won't like to take chances and would definitely try to win the Champions League and bring it back to a spain therefore they bought in some young and talented prospect but I think one thing they fail to do is get a better replacement for Benzema.
 And also since their goalie Thibaut Courtois would be having a long injury spell they decided to get a younger experienced one from that would serve them on a long term as well as a possible replacement for Courtois in the near future, i feel so sad for Courtois for beginning the season with a long term ínjury and he could likey lose his starting position to Kepa if Kepa performs and impress the coach.
