La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Queentoshi]

If this goes into a penalty shootout, I believe that Sevilla will repeat what they have done against Roma and win this title as well. Thinking about how they had been doing last season and even fought against the relegation zone, winning two titles this year already would be amazing for them.

They lost their chance and lost to Manchester City on penalties. The super cup was not theirs to win afterall, despite scoring the first goal in the game and starting the second half really well with the intention to score again which did not work for them. They missed some good chances in the second half to win the game, and now it will all be regrets for them. Sevilla players were tired in the second half, the coach did not have quality replacement for the players so changes were not quickly made, it affected their game. For Manchester City, they just could not lose another opportunity to win a title after losing the community shiel to Arsenal on the same penalties, so they were more mentally ready for the kicks.

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.

Yes, it was a pretty painful game. I watched a delayed summary and I was very disappointed: I have a lot of expectations for Barcelona and seeing this hurt me a lot and made me very sad. We hope you recover quickly from this situation.

Although Barcelona team could not secure the victory in the opening match of La Liga, I think Barcelona will do well in the next matches. Because the players of the Barcelona team are currently playing with great effort. Besides, coach Xavi is maintaining the team exceptionally well.

At the end of the day, it will still be the same as before with Barcelona and Madrid being the two clubs that dominate La Liga.
But in this case there must be other considerations from Barcelona because at the moment it can be said that they lost a good start to Madrid so Xavi must try something more in the next match.

This weekend they will face Cadiz in La Liga, technically they must be favourites but Raphinha is missing from the squad and Xavi must try to rack his brains now especially with the absence of Dembele in their current squad which leaves the right wing empty for now.

Yes Barcelona worked very hard to win the opening match. But unfortunately victory was far beyond their reach. The players of the Barcelona team could not score a goal despite a hundred attempts. Barcelona were under a lot of pressure in the first match of the season. How much Barcelona will be able to overcome this pressure will be understood after playing 1-2 more matches. But I hope Barcelona can show something good in the upcoming matches

In the first match, Barcelona couldn't play effectively, they also didn't play as offensive as usual. They only made 14 shots during the match, it was below the usual number of their shot attempts. Usually, Barcelona can make more than 15 shot attempts if they played against a small team like Getafe. So, it is untrue if they made a hundred attempts yesterday. 

I assume it was because Barcelona lost Dembele. They are lack of attackers, most of Barcelona players are midfielders. When they played many midfielders they can win the ball possessions, but they are difficult to score goals. So, I hope Barcelona can play with more attackers in the next matches. They can't rely on Lewandowski only to score goals.

Atletico Madrid didn't use João Félix in the recent games and that's maybe because they know João Félix is going to leave Atletico Madrid for another team in this transfer window, but the thing about João Félix is he is very close to playing for Barcelona in the next season. Xavis also wants to hire João Félix for his team but they still need some other players and Xavi gave more priority to a right back and a attacking midfielder before João Félix.

The game have ended in penalty and both clubs are waiting for the time for referee to call the back and at this point I think it has become crucial for both clubs since it now a games of tactic and both are good in penalty shootouts and right now they both rely on lick to win this match since the penalty is all about luck and one team capitalizing on the weaknesses of the other to win.

So good luck to both teams,  because this is the most crucial part of the tournament and a winner must be made.

The game ended in favour of Manchester City they won by penalty 5:4. The both teams performed very well infact I was surprised to see Sevilla come out in full to play against City whom every one was expecting to trash them because of their decent form last season, City were lucky to have won through the penalties I congratulate them and hope they Sevilla will do it next time.

Felix shall not be stupid enough in following his ambition to go to the barcelona. This guy will become another clown if he keeps try to follow his ego. Felix is a garbage striker, but he is still young. He has a chance to rebuild his career as long as he agrees to leave from the club. Barcelona never approaches him and how can you say if felix is close to the barcelona? Barcelona puts cancelo as priority transfer right now. The club shall have sold some players first before xavi was able recruiting the new name to join in its club.
I can't even agree with it. Barcelona doesn't need felix at this moment. It will be only wasting the money that is needed by the club. Felix gonna be another useless player in barcelona. Barcelona needs to spent its money wisely.
Let felix to face his fate as an abandoned player in atletico madrid.

[TopT3ns]

Joao Cancelo still remains a target for Barcelona to be signed as soon as possible. A loan formula is likely to happen like I said before. Barcelona can't spend so much money these days no matter how good their financial condition is. FFP rules are forcing them to make transfers with minimum amount of money spent.

Most probably their remaining transfer targets all can sign on loan only. They need to act quicker than this though as there isn't much time left for the end of the transfer window. Besides they should push harder for a winger transfer on one hand if they want to fill Dembele's space.

Last season, Barcelona's financial condition was not good, they had to reduce many of their players to make their financial situation stable, but if this season Barcelona adds a large number of players, it is likely that the financial problems that occurred last season will recur. Despite getting new players at the start of yesterday's match, they did not manage to score a win, disappointing many Barcelona fans.

Sevilla's playing style against many strong teams is now clear to me, even when the other teams take more control over the game and they get more chances in the match but Sevilla usually tries to destroy their game and that's how the other teams can't build up the game against Sevilla, However regardless of what we saw from Sevilla and Manchester City in this game I was thinking a team like Sevilla with a lower budget than Manchester City can never be a strong opponent for Pep Guardiola and his players.

Even barcelona's financial condition is not good this time. Where did you get if barcelona add a lot of players? Barcelona was only adding some but it must be noted these players still remain unregistered due to the FFP.
You must also aware if there have been so many news that said barcelona shall have sold its player first. Barcelona will not able to register its players if barcelona will not try to raise more money from selling the players.

People aware if barcelona is still in the worst situation right now.

Sevilla won last season because they had good performance to win games, but when they faced the cityzens in last night's UEFA Super Cup, they changed their game pattern to defensive, which hampered their performance. Sevilla did everything they could to keep Manchester City at distance. It was a difficult game for the players and the coach, Jose Luis Mendilibar made mistakes that I'm confident he will correct. It's completely incorrect to use defensive tactics against Manchester in the final, putting your team under pressure in both halves.

Not really bad with Sevilla performance UEFA Super Cup against Champion League winner last season Manchester City after getting draw and loss trough penalty kick. Unbelievable with Sevilla performance without many star players success scoring first goals in 25th minutes by Youssef En-Nesyri. Not easily against Primer League winner Manchester City, get huge pressure and difficult for dominance in ball possession but Sevilla one step forward by leading first goals than City. Faced financial crisis and Sevilla ever announce for selling their player before La Liga match begin but against Manchester City success manage until penalty kick is the best achievement from Sevilla.
Now, Sevilla have focus to La Liga second match after losing first opening week from Valencia, for second match Sevilla will away against Girona and they have back to the top perform.

Barcelona have had financial problems at their club due to some wrong transfers. They have been going through this financial problem for a long time. They could not keep Lionel Messi in their club only because of financial problems. Barcelona released Dembele this season. They sold the French star to PSG for €50 million, Dembele's €50 million transfer is another loss transfer for them. As their transfers are going wrong one by one, they should think carefully before signing any player in the future. It would not be right to sign a new player with the full amount of money that Barcelona has at the moment, they should keep some money in reserve so that the Spanish club can get better support from that reserved money later.

At the start of this season, Getafe showed the strength of a very good team because it drew Barcelona and did not move, making it difficult for Barcelona to score goals.Robert Lewandowski had several chances to shoot at goal but was unsuccessful. Barcelona might need two attackers who are ready in front to be able to break through the opponent's defense because if only Robert Lewandowski is in the front position, it will be difficult to score goals.

The blaugrana will be the dominant opponent for the La Liga crown this season; that is a certainty. Robert Lewandowski is a talented attacker, but he failed to make an impact in Barcelona's first encounter against Gefafe. Xavi Hernandez will concentrate on his squad since he still needs to restrategize and improve things. With just one game, we may conclude that a team will do better this season. Getafe had just prepared for the blaugrana, which is why they observed a draw tie in the game, which included red cards on both sides, complicating proceedings.

From the first match that was played I think Xavi realized some things that needed to be improved such as minimizing not to make some unnecessary fouls and making some other decisions quickly on the field because in my opinion even though this match against Getafe even though they played well attacking but Xavi's finishing and decision to enter Gavi and Ansu late I think it should be questioned because it could have been with the speed of these two players and entered earlier then the results would be different.

On the other hand, the formation with 1 striker is not too dominant for Barcelona, it would be better to do a standard formation in 4-3-3.

There are some people who say that the performance of Barca's players is a little bad, they can't score against Getafe, but those who say this don't know the truth, that Getafe's defensive formation is very strong and this is one of the formations that is very difficult to penetrate with only 1 striker, and it should be Xavi using a 4-3-3 formation maybe it's much better because it doesn't only rely on 1 striker.
Maybe if Xavi used this formation, the chances of winning would be even greater, because seeing yesterday's match, it was a little sad to see Lewandowski very confused about how to find a way to break into the opponent's goal, while the Getafe formation was really difficult to penetrate, so one player had to get a red card because he was definitely emotional by the way anything is hard to score.

But with the previous formation it can also still be realized that Xavi is aware that it is one way to minimize so that players are not too tired.
Currently, there are not too many attacking players at Barcelona, especially in the right wing sector because if we look at only Raphinha who is in that position.
Next week everything becomes difficult and it is likely that only 1 striker back they can force especially Raphinha who gets a red card, so this possibility will be a 1 striker formation supported by several midfielders is still possible.
Their opponent is Cadiz, it shouldn't be difficult for Barcelona for the second match I think.

but I see Barcelona's strength, despite being in financial trouble for quite a while. but they have an extraordinary ability to still compete with a rich club like Madrid. Barca got him last season, and I think this season will be even tougher but Barcelona will still be competitive.
if other clubs are facing financial problems as big as Barcelona. I'm not sure they can survive and even get the La Liga trophy.

all of this is due to the contribution of experienced coaches like Xavi so that even though they have financial difficulties and only have ordinary players they are still able to compete with stronger teams like Real Madrid. and for this season, even though it is very clear that Barcelona seems to have no strength but that will not guarantee that it will be difficult to get the La Liga title because Real Madrid is currently also losing its flagship player so that the two top teams have to fight to maintain their position at the top of the standings with the conditions unstable in the composition of his team.

It is undeniable that Xavi has had a big influence on Barcelona's progress at the moment even though they are experiencing internal problems but the team's performance remains stable with makeshift players, and it must also be admitted that the management role is very intelligent in managing all the problems that occur so that this team can compete on the board. above, barcelona is trying to buy some senior players at a low price and combine with young players, it's been quite effective so far.

But for him, Barcelona have not returned to their best performance like a few seasons ago, this season Barcelona is predicted to be stronger than last season, but their performance in the first match of La Liga was quite disappointing and I think for them to be able to compete with Europe's top teams in UCL is very difficult, maybe if only to compete in La Liga with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid they are still possible and it will be quite fierce.

Xavis also wants to hire João Félix for his team but they still need some other players and Xavi gave more priority to a right back and a attacking midfielder before João Félix.  

It's possible that Diego Simeone wants to get used to the team he takes care of without Joao Felix so that in the last few matches he hasn't fielded Felix to compete.
But it seems that the rumors of Felix's move cannot be confirmed correctly because Diego Simeone has rejected an offer from Barcelona to exchange Felix for Ansu Fati.
But we also don't know if after the rejection of the exchange offer actually made Barcelona make another offer by submitting a purchase price so that Diego Simeone might be interested in agreeing to a sale and be able to take other, better players.

Joao Felix has also stated that he really wants to join Barcelona this season.
Now we just have to wait to see how Xavi and Diego Simeone go about Felix wanting to leave Atletico Madrid to join Barcelona.

That's right, he must necessarily enter the cups at all costs
If Barcelona comes out much earlier last year, they are really problems, both for Barcelona and for Xavi
Just winning the league this season is no longer enough

[Sebas.tian]

Kepa will definitely be a great help for the team, Real needed a goalkeeper and Kepa is a great one at that for sure. Chelsea needs a new goalkeeper anyway, he wasn't fit for the team. De Gea was definitely looking like a good thing to do, I am not entirely sure if that's going to be something wrong, he could have been a great goalkeeper for them without a doubt.

I am sure that De Gea will find a team, he is not going to stay free agent forever, he will find a team without a doubt, but I doubt that it will be as good as Real Madrid. In any case, Real is doing fine, and we are going to see them have a bit of an off-season until they get Courtois back and find a striker as well next year, which will be an epic season for sure.

I don't think, Real Madrid problem in this season is goalkeeper because their goalkeeper really dominated in some matches that is giving people hope that he will do better in this season to help the team to improve.  I believe Real Madrid coach will still give him another chance to prove his skills in this season to be more active like other teams goalkeeper, but if he fail in this season he will be replace by another goalkeeper next season. If Real Madrid coach can get potential striker that can handle that Karim Benzema position very well in this season, I think they will get it right in other matches because their major problem in this season is in the area of attack which I believe their coach will do everything possible to solve that problem in this season.

[rendravolt]

Kepa started training today with Real Madrid and it is still being looked at who will fill in for Real Madrid's main keeper this season. The competition between Lunin and Kepa for the first place is certainly very important and we can't wait to see who will fill in as the main goalkeeper in the next game against Almeria. In addition, during Kepa's self-introduction interview at the Santiago Bernabeu, he added "this is a legendary club, I hope they will keep me after the loan period". With a statement like that Kepa seems very confident about his performance and also he will continue to develop the potential that exists in him to become the top choice. But even that is true if Real Madrid want to make him permanent and also next season Courtois has confirmed he will recover from injury. Yes, let only time answer his dream.

Between Luni and Kepa I believe Kepa would be selected ahead of Lunin except for the fact that Kepa is new and needs to be giving more time to adapt to the team and learn a thing or two but aside that Kepa is more experienced in his years playing European competitions and already familiar with top competitions and also winning. Kepa will command more confidence and bring experience aling with him.

That's right, I thought that way and besides it's impossible for Real Madrid to transfer a new goalkeeper if he's only used as a back-up. Especially at Chelsea, Kepa is the main goalkeeper, but since Chelsea have got a new goalkeeper, the loan negotiations are going quite smoothly with Real Madrid. Certainly Ancelotti was very hesitant to put Lunin as a starter for a full season and therefore the presence of Kepa could at least make Real Madrid's goal safer. Now it's just a matter of how Kepa shows his quality in the matches he will play with Real Madrid.
