La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[QueenVera]

Real Madrid and Barcelona will still be two strongest competitors for La Liga title and they will compete directly to take the trophy. Real Madrid will focus more on La Liga after losing it to Barcelona in the past season because of so much concentration for Champions League as well as impacts from World Cup 2022 in the last winter. Before the break by World Cup 2022, Real Madrid and Barcelona were very closely with each other on La Liga ranking table. After that tournament, Real Madrid had bad streak and quickly gave up their race with Barcelona.

Maybe Barcelona will focus more on Champions League as they failed early in the last season and it will be good chance for Real Madrid as they still have good quality squad. If Xavi and Barcelona won't be carefull and give enough resource for La Liga, they will lose the crown to Real Madrid.

Those two clubs have been the most dominant in the league of the years and their el clasico viraly match have been very interesting and one of the things that's attracted viewers to the league, they've both produced the world best players in old and recent times and the league even made the rivalry of the famous G.O.A.T.S Messi and Ronaldo very interesting for fans to talk about, these two clubs are the strongest in the league and it might take a while before other clubs attain dominance in the league, according to their past record in the el clasico Barcelona have won more times with 124 wins and Realmadrid 106  with 64 draws for both.
 About last season Barcelona dominated the league leaving Realmadrid to challenge better in the Champions League though Realmadrid lost in the finals against Manchester City, but I think they look different this season and with a better squad and more enhanced midfield therefore would be very dominant in both league and champions league this season.

Definitely going to enjoy every moment in the new season with more actions to display this season. Real Madrid and Barcelona will match up strength again for the La liga title race this season, but with the present game statistics of Los Blancos, they're weigh better than the blaugrana. Carlo Ancelotti will face Xavi Hernandez this season, pushing through good rivals and entertainment this season. Leave all these panicking results made by elite and average clubs in La Liga because we already know the club's that would be preeminent contenders for the title, that's facts.

I don't think that any team distributes their focus already as if they were to concentrate more on one competition than on others.

But regardless, I believe that Real Madrid has the strongest team in La Liga for now. Nobody can tell yet whether Belingham can keep that level of performance, but if he can then he was the perfect player to be added and who fits very well into the attacking line with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. I think they are better than Barcelona. It can't be said yet how Atletico Madrid will be doing, but they are good enough yet to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for a whole season remains to be seen.

[Mustang Shelby]

Real Madrid made an important start to the league by collecting points one after another. Barcelona fell behind and has to make up for it. Although Villarreal is a strong team, Barcelona wins in general, but this doesn't mean they can't win this time. If Villarreal wins, Barcelona's situation in the league will get worse.

Definitely going to enjoy every moment in the new season with more actions to display this season.

Leave all these panicking results made by elite and average clubs in La Liga because we already know the club's that would be preeminent contenders for the title, that's facts.

It is not difficult to predict that the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid will continue this year. Both teams have been in constant competition with each other until now. Occasionally, Atletico Madrid participated in this race, but I think we will watch a championship race between Barça and Real Madrid this year. More than anything, I want it to be a year where we will watch good and enjoyable football.

[makishart]

In the next match, Barcelona must also be able to win at home to Villarreal, even though they have to fight hard because Villarreal is also not a weak team, even though Barcelona often wins against Villarreal. So Xavi Hernandez's task is still quite a lot and difficult because he must be able to maintain the appearance of his team in order to be able to continue to get points at the start of this season so that he can become a champion candidate in La Liga again. Because Real Madrid has also started to perform well again now.

It's a tough match for barcelona. Even though im sure barcelona will be winning the game with small scores against villareal but i think that draw may also be possible to happen. We didn't even know how strong villareal right now. Xavi needs to chase duo madrid.
Xavi may not use the young players against villareal caused by the points are very important at this moment for barcelona. The club has a target to win la liga again. It's likely that barcelona gonna try so hard to win this match.
The club shall not miss three points again. It will be a disaster for barcelona to miss it. Xavi will use its main squad. Playing without dembele was giving a lot of impact for barcelona.
Dembele has always become a key for barcelona to take la liga trophy last season. Gavi is not able controlling his emotion.

The moment of the new season will usually surprise us all where clubs that are usually at the bottom will perform optimally and occupy the top positions as has happened in several other leagues.
But for La Liga it is very different because Real Madrid is the place for the top position, before the start of the season we have a lot of belief that Barcelona is superior because it only has a schedule of matches against clubs that are far below them but in reality Barcelona cannot be better than Real Madrid, the start of the season are running two matches each.

When looking at the game and also the players used by each club, it seems that Real Madrid really is the superior one.
But we can't just look at it at the start of the season because the transfer market is still running and there are opportunities for other clubs, especially Barcelona, to be able to recruit several players who can strengthen their club.

[Lillominato89]

It is probably too early to draw conclusions about the position of the teams in the standings. There were only two matches. Yes, Sevilla failed to pick up points in these two games and they started this season very badly, but maybe they can improve in the future.

I hope so but let this club try to rebuild the club after it was facing financial trouble. I would not blame sevilla as the club is still in a difficult position right now. Even sevilla was declaring to sell all of players on its main squad to raise at least 81 millions - 100 millions to pay off the debt.
Sevilla needs to start from the bottom again. The club already sold some important players which were affecting the performance of the club. Sevilla deserves more chance to compete with another club in sevilla.
It's so annoying to see the performance from sevilla has been decreasing so hard. I expect sevilla to come back again as soon as possible. Sevilla needs to play in UCL as well.

This is a bad story, I'm very sorry, but hadn't they won the Europa League? How come they got reduced with all these debts? I always say that modern football is too tied to money, that players get too much money and that they are sold for exaggerated prices

Most of the clubs in La Liga are in debt and I believe that this probably is the same for almost any club in any league...

But when you search for the details, their debt seems to be relatively low. It says that they have 90m euros in debt, which I think should still be manageable for them.

Winning trophies doesn't really change that much I think. If you consider the salaries that are being paid to top players, it is almost as if they could pay two or three of their best players with the revenue they made from winning the Europa League. It is a great example that shows how weird everything is when a club can't even ay the players with the money they get from winning trophies.

In recent years, almost in all European leagues, many teams have financial problems and debts. Player salaries have now reached insane figures! stadium revenues don't even cover 1/4 of the wage bill and winning trophies often only serves to reduce debt. See for example in Italy, Inter despite having played the Champions League final and collected more than 100 million from UEFA still has more than 200 million debts which, if not paid by May 2024, will be forced to sell shares to Oakthree. so I'm not surprised that Sevilla sail in the same waters, despite the victory of the Europa League they continue to have their accounts in the red. it's a shame because in any case we are talking about a team that has 7 Europa Leagues on its bulletin board.

Yes but this is what makes financial fair play so incredibly complicated in most of the leagues. As soon as the big clubs have massive debt they can just go and find a huge investor and they are good to go. But there is also another problem when the most renowned clubs have financial issues. When the authorities were to give penalties, it is also possible that they harm their own national leagues when the best clubs aren't participating in European competitions. It is tough to create a level-playing field and make it more fair. But I would like if they all had to compete under the same conditions, though this is a dream that won't come true. The refinancing potential of the clubs that are already big is so much higher than that of other clubs.

The relation between the success of a club and their cost structure should be stronger. As you said they can't even pay off their costs/debt when a club were to win the Champions League, the domestic league and the stadium would be sold out 100% of the time. It is still by far not enough to pay the salaries, which is weird. No other business with real production factors would work like that. It's all a big fat bubble and the players enjoy it of course.

Exactly! you said very well ... it's a big bubble! and this bubble will burst sooner or later, this type of business won't hold up for long, the players for the moment are bathing in the big salaries they receive, and having fun! lucky them. I also want to see the Arabs in about ten years if they continue to give stratospheric salaries to top players without having a financial return that can cover their economic expenditure

I agree with whoever discussed Sevilla, Sevilla should be given the opportunity to play in the Champions League. Judging from the side of the team, Sevilla team will be able to perform better than PSG.

[Furious 7]

In the next match, Barcelona must also be able to win at home to Villarreal, even though they have to fight hard because Villarreal is also not a weak team, even though Barcelona often wins against Villarreal. So Xavi Hernandez's task is still quite a lot and difficult because he must be able to maintain the appearance of his team in order to be able to continue to get points at the start of this season so that he can become a champion candidate in La Liga again.

Dembele has always become a key for barcelona to take la liga trophy last season. Gavi is not able controlling his emotion.

The problem for Barcelona and Villarreal for the first 2 matches is still the same with poor finishing so if you look at this situation I think if it is not improved, the conditions will remain the same with even if someone wins, it is likely that this is only a narrow victory.
Barcelona are still unable to maximize their finishing, on the other hand Lewandowski also seems to be a little troubled by some new things, especially for the attacking scheme because at this time he is a lone striker in contrast to before Barcelona always gave 3 strikers in front with a 4-3-3 formation.
Another advantage for Barcelona is that Raphinha can return to the squad which can foster confidence.

As for Villarreal they are quite good for chances just like Barcelona their finishing is poor and this can be very dangerous if the opponent is Barcelona.

Although Villarreal is a strong team, Barcelona wins in general, but this doesn't mean they can't win this time. If Villarreal wins, Barcelona's situation in the league will get worse.

Definitely going to enjoy every moment in the new season with more actions to display this season. Real Madrid and Barcelona will match up strength again for the La liga title race this season, but with the present game statistics of Los Blancos, they're weigh better than the blaugrana. Carlo Ancelotti will face Xavi Hernandez this season, pushing through good rivals and entertainment this season. Leave all these panicking results made by elite and average clubs in La Liga because we already know the club's that would be preeminent contenders for the title, that's facts.

It is not difficult to predict that the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid will continue this year. Both teams have been in constant competition with each other until now. Occasionally, Atletico Madrid participated in this race, but I think we will watch a championship race between Barça and Real Madrid this year. More than anything, I want it to be a year where we will watch good and enjoyable football.

Basically, it seems that at this moment Villarreal still hasn't gotten their best form. So yes, in my personal prediction it seems Villarreal will be difficult to provide good resistance when Villarreal plays against Barcelona in the next match. By still not having a good form, then of course Barcelona will maximize these weaknesses to still beat Villarreal in the away match for Bacelona in the next match. Maybe if Barcelona fails to win, at least a draw is still very likely to happen.

[Luzin]

The experience of Xavi Hernandez is also not anything close to someone like Guardiola. And even in this short time, he has actually been able to win the La Liga title under some extreme conditions. I understand that Barcelona did provide him with some decent amount of money to be honest. But if Barcelona wants more, they will have to spend more. And that is something Barcelona cannot do right now.

Xavi has been with Guardiola.  If you look at the games, they have the same philosophy. You have to remember Guardiola takes a long time. He is also building a team, with his long period as coach unfairly comparing Xavi and Guardiola. I think Xavi is quite a genius, he has the potential to have achievements like Pep Guardiola.  He still has quite a long time to be a coach at the current age. Regarding players, maybe they have limited funds due to economic circumstances. Even yesterday I heard that they still have some players who have not made the official list in this season's competition.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

It was a surprised to me how Sevilla lost to a weaker team like Alaves last night, after a tough game against Manchester city in the mid week. Same mistake they made last season, losing so many points at the beginning of the league is not a good result for a team like Sevilla. To be Frank they have not been impressive this season. Their starting poorly and will affect them ,when they need these points to qualify for Champions league next season.

I'm aware of the financial situation of the club right now, in the summer they didn't make good signing as other because of the financial changes in the club, but no fans will understand that, they wants the team to win every week, which they must do to keep the fans happy.

I don't want to highlight Sevilla qualifying for the Champions League next season at this time because the fight has only lasted two matches, on several occasions they have qualified for the Champions League through the Europa League because they came out as champions. You could say that this team is a little unique in La Liga and it is indeed difficult to make predictions for this Europa League king. Losing two matches and placing them at the bottom of the standings is not a good condition as it would make it difficult for them to stay in the top five.

Lots of football clubs are currently experiencing financial problems so they can't do much in the transfer market. For a team like Sevilla it should be a lesson, that if you can't play well and secure full points in every game then that will make condition much worse. There is no chance of competing for the La Liga title if it is not supported by satisfactory results in every match and this is a big problem for them.

[rendravolt]

Definitely going to enjoy every moment in the new season with more actions to display this season. Real Madrid and Barcelona will match up strength again for the La liga title race this season, but with the present game statistics of Los Blancos, they're weigh better than the blaugrana. Carlo Ancelotti will face Xavi Hernandez this season, pushing through good rivals and entertainment this season. Leave all these panicking results made by elite and average clubs in La Liga because we already know the club's that would be preeminent contenders for the title, that's facts.

That's right, the competition between the two top La Liga teams is very exciting to follow, especially since both of them will continue to do the same thing regardless of the other teams on the standings. I think barcelona was good enough in last week's match to beat Cadiz, if they still failed to get 3 points in that match it was clear the difference with Real Madrid would be even further.

Real Madrid are now much more mature with a new strategy even though they lack a striker but thanks to the ingenuity of Don Carlo everything has been handled safely so far. I think it would be much more exciting if the difference between the two teams was only 3 to 6 points because that would further fuel the enthusiasm of the players from the two sides to get more consistent wins.

[marcous]

Even yesterday I heard that they still have some players who have not made the official list in this season's competition.

If you compare Pep Guardiola and Xavi in the context of Barcelona, luck is more on Pep side. Because during his coaching period, Barcelona did not experience debt of this size and Pep still had Iniesta, Messi and of course Xavi himself on the field. With the balance of finances and the depth of the squad he has, Pep can bring Barca to the top of glory, but Xavi is facing the opposite situation. Overall football-savvy observers and commentators certainly appreciate Xavi performance, and hope he can be as lucky as Pep one day.

On the other hand, the proof of Xavi genius is the La Liga trophy last season. I don't think there are many coaches who can deal with transition situations and win trophies at the same time.

[Pandu Geddon]

Definitely going to enjoy every moment in the new season with more actions to display this season.

Madrid or Barcelona have yet to face a truly strong team in La Liga. it's still early days and consistency to keep winning is very rarely seen in the league competition. especially with La Liga where there are strong teams competing with each other.
Madrid and Barcelona have great opportunities for this season. Madrid must immediately maintain a distance of points at least in the first 10 matches if they want to be safe enough from Barcelona's pursuit. Madrid, with the quality of their players evenly distributed, should have a greater chance of maintaining the consistency of their performance than Barcelona.

Agree, the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid has indeed become one of the most iconic and most eagerly awaited in the world of football. Nonetheless, all football fans are looking forward to witnessing high-quality and entertaining matches between these teams. The presence of star players, interesting tactics and spectacular moments are the main attraction this season. But as we've seen in the last few seasons, I saw a little less when the 2 GOAT had left, for some reason the presence of Ronaldo and Messi in El Clasico was getting more interesting, it doesn't mean that the meeting this time between the two teams was less interesting but in my opinion it was a bit lacking if 2 this person doesn't exist

[Leviathan.007]

In this season Real Madrid was a little bit unlucky because they lost their forward Karim Benzema and they couldn't hire any other player to fill his place and then their defender got injured hardly in the first weeks, also Thibaut Courtois got injured and Real Madrid knows he can't play for weeks, after that they hire another goalkeeper to fill his place in the next games.
When Kepa Arrizabalaga joined Real Madrid and they spent too much money on him, the fans of Real Madrid were worried about his performance but Arrizabalaga had a good performance in the previous trainings, also he attracted Anceloti's attention.

I think Barcelona team is currently ahead of Real Madrid in terms of performance in La Liga. Because every player in the team is committed to take the team forward. The passion among the players to ensure the victory of the team is what really drives the team forward.

Comparing the two sides of this coach is very far and I think it's true if it's unfair because the two coaches have similarities in terms of training and strategies that will be used for their players like a few games ago against Cadiz Barca players had difficulty scoring in the first half and after it was the second half Gonzalez and Torres were able to score because Xavi was the same as Guardiola when in the first half studying the opponent's game after that he had a new strategy implemented in the second half which was always successful.
So for me these two trainers have something in common that doesn't need to be compared.

The battle between this two top clubs begin again this season,as we will follow each of their games one after the other in other to know who will be the favourite comes the end of the season.Barcelona have improved their squad with the acquisition of quality signings that will make them do well in the league and also in the champions league.Gundogan was spectacular while he was at Manchester City,and if rumours are to go by,Joe Cancelo is also on the verge of joining Barca which will also be an added boost to the squad quality and depths.
If am to predict the team that will claim the Lalliga Titttle among the two teams,I will say Barca has all it takes to win it now,although it's not going to be an easy job for that to happen because Madrid will be their bitterest rival.

In this season Real Madrid was a little bit unlucky because they lost their forward Karim Benzema and they couldn't hire any other player to fill his place and then their defender got injured hardly in the first weeks, also Thibaut Courtois got injured and Real Madrid knows he can't play for weeks, after that they hire another goalkeeper to fill his place in the next games.
When Kepa Arrizabalaga joined Real Madrid and they spent too much money on him, the fans of Real Madrid were worried about his performance but Arrizabalaga had a good performance in the previous trainings, also he attracted Anceloti's attention.

Real Madrid have played their two matches and managed to win. I think Ancelotti has found the right scheme even though his team has lost Benzema and Courtois. Jude Bellingham is Madrid's best signing this season and he has really proven his worth, while Kepa Arrizabalaga could also be a good alternative and although he has not yet played minutes, Ancelotti has guaranteed him. I'm sure Real Madrid will be much more competitive this season than last season.
