La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Leviathan.007]

Regarding the match between Granada and Atletico Madrid, I think the rate for Atletico Madrid is too low and the rate is currently 1.32 for Atletico Madrid to win this game while all know the chance for Granada to win the game is too low and normally they can't have any chance, but the 9.80 rate is high enough to make to get attracted and even bet on Granada for this matches a risky bet.

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.

Congratulations to Real Madrid for finally getting a world class goalkeeper that will continue to stand in between the sticks for the club after their first choice goalkeeper Courtois has been sidelined for the rest of the season with an ACL injury.
With the signing of Kepa, Real Madrid has found solution to one of the two positions in the club that they seriously need to sign players that are capable of replacing. Now they have to sign a world class striker that'll replace the outgone Karim Benzema to have a complete team that'll challenge for trophies this season.

Real madrid just needs a temporary goal keeper and kepa has become the best answer for madrid. Madrid was always thinking if goal keeper bought from chelsea is always having quality like curtois which has been helping madrid won so many trophies.
Kepa will be starting his journey in real madrid soon. I can't wait to see him start his debut with el real. Kepa has a delightful experience in all the competitions. He is a worthy goal keeper to replace curtois while he was still injured.

A great choice from real madrid. That reminds me when el real impressed by curtois's performance. Real madrid was just buying curtois from chelsea at that time.
I think that as long as kepa will be showing great performance and he will have a chance to join in real madrid even though there was no buy option in the clause.

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.

Getafe is a very weak team compared to Barcelona. So everyone expected Barcelona to dominate and win this match. But Barcelona can't win. Last season too we saw many times that Barcelona dropped points against relatively weaker teams.

Barcelona should have played attacking strategy in this match. I would say Xavi had tactical mistakes in the match. It is already predicted that teams like Getafe will play defensively against Barcelona and look to draw the match. If Xavi played an attacking strategy in this match, it would have been difficult for the Getafe players to consistently counter Barcelona's attacks.

I agree with you. Xavi should bring changes to Barcelona's formation. But I think Xavi is still experimenting with this team. He will be able to find a suitable formation for Barcelona in the next few matches. We hope to see a stable performance of Barcelona in the upcoming matches.

This is a pretty bad start to the season for Barcelona in my opinion.

Lewandowski was a bit ineffective in this game, but he is still at the beginning of the season. I think it's normal to see performances like this in such periods. I really liked the performance of Gavi, who came on later in the game, he prevented a Getafe goal in the last minutes of the game. Also, Lamine Yamal was very good. He's only 16 but the Barcelona jersey suits him very well. He has a good chance of becoming a star. Barcelona gave positive signals for the new season but didn't play good football in the first game. Next week they play with Cadiz at home. I have no doubt that they will try harder for the three points.

Most big teams didnt perform well in the first week of match opening,it might be as a result of the rest they had during the sumner.Some of them didn't train much,and for the ones that went on preseason,they still lack that match energy and fitness,but I think they will do much better in their next game.Lewandowski tried his best,but as you said,it is still very early and Barcelona fans need to be patient with him.Their next game is Cadiz and we all know Cadiz for draw,it will definitely be a tough match,but all they need to do is play their own pattern of football,take their chances and win that game.It will really be an interesting game to watch because Cadiz will be all out to atleast get a point from that encounter,and since Barcelona is at home,they won't want to draw again,atleast three points is what they will be fighting for and I think they will win.

Xavi looked completely disappointed with the draw and I think he certainly really hopes to get a win in their first match. The strategy carried out by Getafe really frustrated Barcelona, it can be seen that they play aggressively and do not hesitate to play rough. This effort seems to have paid off and made Barcelona's rhythm of play not work well.

You don't expect  all players from big teams to pick up form, there are some players that have good performances in the pre-season and brought that form into the new season to help their teams performances  while  some players came back from injuries and couldn't recover their form early thereby affecting the teams performances, but however barca really tried to win the match but were so unlucky to get the ball in the net.
 The had 14 shots with 4 on target thats good compared to the opposition that had 5 with just 2 on target, if you noticed they possessed the ball most of the time just the defence like of getafe was too strong fot them to convert a goal, xavi failed to reqd the game and it affected them and I think he won't likely make same mistake against Cadiz and would be looking to win and cover up the gap from their rivals.

Xavi put in a great effort to secure the victory for the team in the first match. In the end he saw the red card. But all the Barcelona players have tried brilliantly. But in the end the objective could not be achieved.

They have just lost one game at the start of the season; they can do better in the next game. It is nice to start the season usually with a win, but with a bad start, you can still end up winning the league from the many other games to play. The pressure is on Barcelona because they are the title defenders this season, and because Real Madrid won their own game from the previous games. With how aggressively that Getafe played against Barcelona that was unexpected, Barcelona can get prepared for more aggressive teams that they will play against this season, so they do not drop points each time. This should be in the plan for the coach.

[Leviathan.007]

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.

Barcelona can still hire better players in this transfer window because in the match against Atletico Madrid and Granada, Diego Simeone said he won't use João Félix and this player is out of the squad for the next game while we know João Félix could be an effective player for Diego Simeone but João Félix have the interest of joining Barcelona and there is a high chance for him to join this team with Xavi, according to some news he said he wants to play for Barcelona one day.

After yesterday's draw between Barcelona and Getafe, the quotes for the title have changed dramatically:

Real Madrid 1.77

Barcelona 2.70

Most recently they were:

Real Madrid 2.00

Barcelona Fc 2.40

And this is taking into account the fact that at Real Madrid several players were injured, and Mbappe is still not in their squad. It seems that the bookmakers are completely disappointed in Barcelona.

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.

This is great news and I think Kepa has enough quality and experience to fill the void left by Thibaut Courtois due to his long injury.
To overshadow a long season, it requires Real Madrid to look for a new goalkeeper, although I think this status as a loan is enough to start this season.
Rumors about Real madrid's new goalkeeper are over now we just have to wait for a new striker to be brought in to replace Benzema who has moved to the Arab league, I think also Real Madrid really need it.

[Litzki1990]

This Barcelona team have started with this struggling system at the beginning of the season and at the end it would be them celebrating as champions, but is not going to be that way this time around.
Being the reigning Champions I expected something different from what I'm seeing now, still playing draw till the second half with a red card is something Xavi needs to worry about because this is going to be a big blow for them if the home team get a goal at this time, but if Barcelona gets a goal it will end as a draw because I don't see them defending till the end of this game.

Former La Liga champions Barcelona were held to a goalless draw by Getafe in their first game of the new season. The big blow for Barcelona was Raphinha's red card off the field in the 42nd minute. Barcelona were reduced to 10 men after Raphinha was sent off with a red card, which marked a slight weakness in their performance. Barcelona struck in the 42nd minute followed by Getafe in the 57th minute. Mata was sent off with a red card shortly into the second half, reducing Barcelona and Getafe to 10 men from the 11 men.
The two teams were level after 57 minutes where Barcelona should have been in the lead but Barcelona failed to score and eventually went away with a goalless draw. If Barcelona won the first match, surely their performance would be better for the next matches.

The draw was not too bad, especially since the situation was quite pressing for Barcelona after Raphinha was given a red card. After Raphinha left it became clear that Barcelona only matched their strengths to stabilize their game in the first half.

In the second half it was Jaime Mata turn to be sent off from the field which made Getafe play 10 players which made up for the depth of the squads of both teams in this match. I think Barcelona got a lot of golden opportunities but still failed to complete the execution into goals. This result left Barcelona in 10th place in the standings for the first week of the league this season.

Barcelona's forwards were under a lot of pressure when Raphinha was sent off with a red card which meant that against Getafe, Barcelona didn't risk much attacking but Barcelona should have taken advantage of this in the second half when Getafe went down to 10 men and if Barcelona had attacked strongly at that point. Maybe something better could have come for Barcelona but the match ended differently. The moment Raphinha was sent off after receiving a red card, Barcelona and Getafe had enough chances to go ahead but Getafe couldn't but later when J. Mata left the field after receiving a red card in the second half, Barcelona had a chance to go ahead but Barcelona couldn't capitalize on that opportunity which resulted in a draw for Barcelona against Getafe.

[klidex]

Barcelona's La Liga debut has been a poor performance. Every player in the team tried their best to score but ultimately failed to score any goal in the match. Barcelona needed to secure a win in the first match.

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.

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.

Actually, several times the Barca players always put pressure on the Getafe goalkeeper, but I admit that David Soria looked very good in today's match, always struggling to catch the ball which was kicked hard towards the goal.
I have to appreciate the struggle of the Getafe keeper but here Bara actually had a lot of chances, it's just that he was too hasty to kick the ball so he didn't hit the target which ended in a draw.
We can see from the statistics that Barca are superior in possession and shots at goal but for some reason the Barca players are too excited so they lose control and don't focus when they shoot the ball at goal.
I think Xavi needs to tell his players about that mistake not to be made in the next match.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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...

Luckily I didn't bet on Barcelona's win in that match. If not, I might join you as one of the who lost the bet. Raphinha received a red card for a foul on a Getafe player and Xavi also received a red card for protesting loudly at the referee. While Getafe players also received a red card after receiving two yellow cards, Getafe's game was a bit of a hassle for Barcelona because they pressed hard every time a Barcelona player attacked.

Getafe have held Barcelona to a draw in three games and this is of particular concern when we want to bet on the second half of the game for both of them. Xavi found it difficult to deal with Getafe's aggressive strategy and the tough game shown by Bordalas' men found it difficult to balance, so the game looked so hard and made several fouls.

It seems that it is indeed courtuis to experience healing that takes a long time, which forces management to seek Lunin anticipation of getting injuries too, for his own Kepa according to me, it might be almost the same as the performance of Lunin, I don't think that he will be made the main keeper by Anceloti, and only Make it to be anticipated, so he does not want to buy Bounou for a long -term contract from Sevilla.
For a one -year loan to Chelsea.
But indeed this is the competition back between Kepa and Lunin even though Kepa is only a loan goalkeeper, I hope that this competition will cause healthy competition and motivate each other to issue his best performance.

Kepa is undoubtedly a good goalkeeper. Courtois, the former goalkeeper of Real Madrid, is likely to be out of the squad due to injury. However, he has been supporting Real Madrid for a long time and has made a great impact in achieving various achievements. I hope the new goalkeeper will perform exceptionally well in the team.

[Z-tight]

Rumors about Real madrid's new goalkeeper are over now we just have to wait for a new striker to be brought in to replace Benzema who has moved to the Arab league, I think also Real Madrid really need it.

Kepa is Spanish, so i think he felt more comfortable signing for Real madrid rather than Bayern munich, because Bayern munich who also have their number one goalkeeper injured, tried to sign Kepa from Chelsea, but he chose madrid instead. Kepa will have a good time on loan in Real madrid, there are always opportunities to win trophies when you play for Real madrid, especially the champions league trophy, so that is why almost every player will want to join them. I don't think Madrid will sign a new striker this summer, they will just wait for Mbappe to sign for them next season.

Seems like that to me honestly, maybe I'm wrong.

Personally, I believe there is more involved. I saw Barcelona play against Getafe, and while their play was passable, Getafe's defensive plan was excellent, especially when a team commits to defense. Additionally, there is the whole matter of Getafe's players inciting Barcelona. I remember Xavi becoming quite agitated and objecting to the quantity of fouls that resulted in his receiving a red card. Barcelona will suffer as a result in their forthcoming games because they will be without him on the field. However, I believe it would be unfair to blame fitness alone for the problem.
