La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[bitLeap]

Kepa is a smart goalkeeper and he is a Spanish too. It's good for him to return to Spain and play for a biggest club there. Real Madrid will have a good goalkeeper to replace Courtouis without big spending on transfer market. They won't have to wait for months to see good adaptation from Kepa because as a Spanish player who was called for Spain national team many times, Kepa already familiarized with some Spanish players in Real Madrid. In addition, he understands well about La Liga and tactical formations of Spanish clubs.

Kepa current status may be that he is a keeper on loan, but if we look at Courtouis condition, the injury is very fatal and the contract in Madrid will not be renewed automatically, in my opinion, Kepa has the potential to make it permanent in any way. Courtouis, Modric, and Kross both have contracts ending next year, so it makes sense that Ancelotti is gradually starting to prepare Madrid's foundations. Rodrygo. Because if the vacancy problem is resolved, Madrid has returned with a formation that can worry the opponent's defense.

Kepa is undoubtedly a good goalkeeper. Real Madrid have done well by adding Kepa to the squad. Kepa is expected to do better for the team than Real Madrid's previous goalkeeper.

Didn't Kepa go on loan to Real Madrid from Chelsea?
If Kepa is indeed a good goalkeeper, it looks like there will be a loan extension later or Kepa will be bought by Real Madrid, considering that his loan period is only one season.
I also understand that Kepa is a goalkeeper who is quite reliable plus he was also one of Chelsea's mainstay goalkeepers while joining there but it would be a shame if later Kepa had to leave when his contract with Real Madrid expired.

I don't believe Real Madrid will sign Kepa as their permanent goalkeeper because they already have a goalkeeper in place, and I believe there are multiple goalkeepers in use at any given time. Real Madrid always starts with Courtios in goal keeper, though they occasionally substitute Luin for him to give him the impression that he is also a Real Madrid goalkeeper. Real Madrid loan kepa from Chelsea because courtios is injured or not in a good position to catch the ball. Even though Kepa is an excellent goalkeeper, I don't believe Real Madrid will want to sign him to add another goalkeeper because if they do and Courtios recovers from his injury, kepa won't get the same opportunities as before and he'll also stand as the third goalkeeper because Luin won't let him be the second goalkeeper.

Courtios is the best goalkeeper in the world, and if he plays for Real Madrid, I feel good about the game because if the players did not make a mistake, it would be very difficult to score against Courtios because he is tall and even intelligent. Kepa may be able to save Real Madrid this season in terms of catching the ball, but when Courtios is in the post, I am confident that Real Madrid will triumph over their opponents.

According to Transfermarkt Courtois is going to be out until March 10, 2024.

There won't be much time left for the end of the season later on. Even if he recovers by that date this time he will need some time to reach match fitness. Hence we can see it like he has closed this season unfortunately. There is a great opportunity for Kepa here. If he works hard and impress Ancelotti he can extend his time at Real Madrid most probably. But when Courtois is fully back Kepa would probably be his substitute.

Of course there is a big chance for Kepa Arrizabalaga to interest Real Madrid to make him permanent at the end of the season if in fact his performance is really as good as expected. Real Madrid do not fully trust Andriy Lunin so they are really hoping for a worthy replacement for Thibaut Courtois.

Kepa Arrizabalaga who already has a wealth of experience in Europe, seems to deserve a big chance at Real Madrid this season. But for some reason, in my opinion, his performance has also been unstable at Chelsea. He did not have consistent performance in many games so Chelsea agree to loan him and replace him with Robert Sánchez.

I'm not interested in talking too much about Ancelotti's plans especially for next season, that's because there are rumors that Ancelotti will not renew his contract with Real Madrid after this season ends. Ancelotti will only be very focused on Real Madrid this season where he is responsible for win the title he lost last seasons.

Kepa's future is also still in the dark where it is possible to get him back to Chelsea after this season ends. Kepa really hopes that Real Madrid will agree to make his move permanent, but he has yet to make his debut. The future is there, but I can't be sure before seeing some of his performances this season.

Kepa has become Real Madrid's first-choice goalkeeper since Courtois went down with a long-term injury. I'm not sure he'll be ready to play any games before the season finishes, even if he's back by March. Real Madrid just signed Kepa on a one-year loan deal, and I believe Courtois will still replace him once he returns from injury.

Kepa will undoubtedly want to prove himself worthy of that position, but I am uncertain Real Madrid will want to make him their first choice goalkeeper and keep him after his loan contract expires. Chelsea will also be keeping an eye on his progress and may want him back when his loan contract expires. It is now left for Kepa to decide at the end of the season the side he wants to stay with.

This is likely to be Ancelotti's last season with Real Madrid. He is not interested in extending his contract with Madrid. However, his opinion may change in the future. However, there are still rumors that Ancelotti will not be with Madrid next season. So he will try his best to win the La Liga title this season. He is trying to make the Madrid squad more stable and strong. I also heard that Real Madrid will make a last-ditch effort to add Mbappe to the squad as well.

Kepa is a good enough goalkeeper. However, we do not know if the Madrid management is interested in adding Kepa to the squad permanently. If Kepa can do well with Madrid then chances are we will see Kepa in a Madrid jersey for the next few seasons. Because Kepa is Spain's goalkeeper and he is only 28 years old.

It actually makes sense that Kepa Arrizabalaga will be permanent at Real Madrid because this player is also very young, has very good talent and Real Madrid usually prefers young players like this, especially if their performance is very good, of course it will be permanent.
Real madrid situation right now is not as strong as last season and all that because they haven't found the best striker yet and we not need to see how Ancelotti plans but I am sure in this season he will have a defensive strategy not to be too behind on points with other clubs and I think a little it is difficult to catch the champions league trophy this season even in La Liga it seems it will also be difficult to shift Barca position.

Basically those are the rumors I least want to hear, meaning I still really hope Ancelotti stays at Real Madrid for many seasons to come. He might be coaching the national team, Brazil is a national team that really expects his services.

I absolutely agree that Ancelotti will make the most of this season to win titles. We lost the La Liga title and the Champions League next season so I hope they will really improve this season. Kylian Mbappe deserves it, but I hope he doesn't come in a bad way. To be honest that I was looking forward to it for real.

The competition to become Real Madrid's main goalkeeper in my opinion is not the most interesting thing to discuss repeatedly, of course, because in my opinion we already know the difference in the qualities of the two goalkeepers.

Ancelotti borrowed Kepa from Chelsea to become the main goalkeeper due to Courtois' injury. Meanwhile, Lunin, who incidentally is Real Madrid's second goalkeeper, will still be Ancelotti's second choice, unless Kepa has performed poorly in a number of matches. Kepa Arrizabalaga is one of the good goalkeepers so far in Europe, but I don't think Lunin has been on the same level as Kepa.

I don't understand why you say that the goalkeeper's position is not the most interesting thing to review. Aren't they the tip of the defense that takes priority in maintaining the balance of the team in every match that is played. I think it's difficult to find a replacement commensurate with courtois for his level of skill at keeping goals from conceding.

Lunin is very close to the Real Madrid players and the players want Lunin to be a mainstay for Real Madrid before Courtois returns to the field. However, Kepa recruitment also reaped great praise because he is a slick goalkeeper at European level but last season he did not perform very well with Chelsea.

[Ryu_Ar1]

The only true competitors of La Liga who are constantly competing against each other for the title are Barcelona and Real Madrid. Without these two I do not think there are actually many competitions in the league. 6/7 years ago the league was a lot more competitive.  Atletico Madrid was actually a good team. They were even really good in the Champions League as well. But right now it has definitely become kind of a farmers league.

Barcelona definitely going to be interested in winning this match against Villareal. Barcelona have already lost some points. so they will have to win matches consistently. It is not going to be a home match for Barcelona. so that might be a little bit of problem for them.

A few seasons earlier even Atletico performed quite well by being able to take the title position, it's just that it was also the beginning of their destruction where after they got the trophy their performance declined even more to this day.
There are some conditions where I actually don't really like the same way Simeone coaches for a very long time because in my opinion things like this must change so that the club becomes fresher.
Not that Simeone is bad but if you continue to rely on Simeone, the scheme that Atletico does becomes a spectacle because it does the same scheme and formation in every season.

Back to Barcelona and Villarreal I still hope for Barcelona but I will probably watch without making a bet even though the odds are pretty good because honestly with the previous 2 Barcelona matches in terms of finishing that is lacking I am quite doubtful about this match and even if I win this possibility will only be a narrow victory for Barcelona.

For me, it is hard to trust  Barcelona as well at the start of the season. Barcelona is definitely a great team. But at the start of the season, some players are not performing well. Or at least not as expected. So it is going to be hard to predict what happens in this match In my opinion.

But of course, I expect Barcelona to win this match. But a draw is not absolutely out of the possibility for this match. The thing is if Barcelona can score, and if the attacking lineup of Barcelona can perform confidently, they are going to win. Otherwise, it will probably be a draw. I definitely do not expect this match to be a goalless draw. I think the deadlock is going to be broken at some point.

That's one of the reasons why I don't gamble.
Although with the condition of the club and the favourite, Barcelona is definitely the favourite club in this match but still this does not become a reference to believe that they can win easily.
Lewandowski's condition which seems to lose his instincts and some other players that make me doubt the finishing is one of the reasons not to bet.
However, the presence of Pedri and the return of Raphinha will put more pressure on the game and my hope for Xavi is that he gives Ansu a chance to prove himself because it's been a long time since he's been given more of a chance in a game.

Courtois is only 31 years old (nothing for goalkeepers) so despite the severe injury I'm sure Real Madrid will consider him number one for a long time to come. Neuer is 37 and has suffered a much more serious injury, but Bayern continue to count on him (I don't support that, by the way). The situations for Modric, Kross on the one hand and for Courtois on the other are completely different in my opinion.

[Leviathan.007]

João Cancelo was the target for Barcelona and they wanted to hire this player from Manchester United for this season because it seems because of the financial issues this transfer stopped and João Cancelo didn't get the ticket for Barcelona yet and he is waiting for approval from Barcelona, but he probably won't be able to play for Barcelona in the game against Villarreal.

The competition to become Real Madrid's main goalkeeper in my opinion is not the most interesting thing to discuss repeatedly, of course, because in my opinion we already know the difference in the qualities of the two goalkeepers.

For me, it is also interesting to discuss, why not?
Although Kepa may have more experience and most people assume he has a better quality, we don't know how Ancelotti thinks about it. So far, Ancelotti prefers Lunin to replace the position left by Courtois. I assume Ancelotti has a big reason to put Lunin as the main GK now.

Ancelotti borrowed Kepa from Chelsea to become the main goalkeeper due to Courtois' injury. Meanwhile, Lunin, who incidentally is Real Madrid's second goalkeeper, will still be Ancelotti's second choice, unless Kepa has performed poorly in a number of matches. Kepa Arrizabalaga is one of the good goalkeepers so far in Europe, but I don't think Lunin has been on the same level as Kepa.

I don't know if Ancelotti ever stated that he borrowed Kepa to be the main GK of Real Madrid. But surely Ancelotti needs a new GK because Real Madrid only has 1 GK left (Lunin). If there is something wrong to happen with Lunin (injured), Real Madrid will have no option for GK if they didn't have a new GK. Since Kepa seems to have a good quality, Ancelotti borrowed him from Chelsea.

What on earth is that? Courtois out for that long? That's almost a year. Is best Madrid get Kepa as their permanent goalkeeper instead of getting him on loan.
After all they do have a better goalkeeper who kept a clean sheets in the absence of Courtois in their last game and is bad for Kepa to take over just like that. Well I believe in tomorrow's game Madrid won't keep a clean shit even if they win, just wish Courtois a quick recovery.

The news about the duration of Thibaut Courtois' injury didn't come as a surprise to me considering the kind of injury he sustained that has kept him sidelined. Anterior cruciate ligament injury is always expected to take the duration of over 6 months before it can be totally healed.
Real Madrid signed Kepa on loan because they know they have a better keeper in Thibaut Courtois who's just sidelined because of the injury he sustained and would definitely keep his place as the first choice goalkeeper of the club whenever he fully back to the squad

It’s unfortunate that Courtois will be out for that long he will definitely be missed by everyone in the team including the coaches because he has been excellent lately and has made alot of saves that has won some trophies for the club over the years. It true that he will miss out most of the actions this season due to this ACL injury, surgery has been done but the  recovery process is too long and even after recovery he will still need some time to gain proper fitness so he can join up with the squad and before going through all this process the season would have ended already. Kepa is also a good goal keeper and has been excellent for chelsea lately, i have no doubt that he will disappoint because he wants to prove himself for the club so they permanently sign him so he can finally leave chelsea. When he impresses Ancelloti it will be a difficult choice for Ancelloti to choose his starting goalkeeper because he is very good on the ball in terms of keeping possession.

Courtois has had a significant influence on Real Madrid since joining the team. Kepa is expected to start for Madrid. The fact that Madrid decided to put their faith in Kepa surprised many people. Kepa and Courtois seem pretty even. We have a lot of time. Let's see if he wants to stay at Madrid for the long term instead of just being on loan for a season. Hopefully, with his performance, Kepa can do it.

[Wiwo]

Kepa is undoubtedly a good goalkeeper. Real Madrid have done well by adding Kepa to the squad. Kepa is expected to do better for the team than Real Madrid's previous goalkeeper.

I also understand that Kepa is a goalkeeper who is quite reliable plus he was also one of Chelsea's mainstay goalkeepers while joining there but it would be a shame if later Kepa had to leave when his contract with Real Madrid expired.

The outcome if that decision will be based on the keeper performance while he is at lian in Real Madrid and from the look of the thing,  I think Kepa has already established a firm in Real Madrid and it may end up being just a loan extension just to have the keeper with the club for this season,  and if he will be considered for signing,  that will come after the current season.

Chelsea has served as a breeding ground for many quality players and keepers alike,  even though Chelsea's own performance has been far below average.

The information from Transfermarkt is not exact and that just comes from the news about Courtois while I think Real Madrid had a player like Courtois for years keeping them safe because of his good performance and now after all these seasons when he got injured for a long time they need a new goalkeeper because I'm sure Real Madrid doesn't want to have the same situation Bayer Munich had with Neuer.

[TopT3ns]

Kepa current status may be that he is a keeper on loan, but if we look at Courtouis condition, the injury is very fatal and the contract in Madrid will not be renewed automatically, in my opinion, Kepa has the potential to make it permanent in any way. Courtouis, Modric, and Kross both have contracts ending next year, so it makes sense that Ancelotti is gradually starting to prepare Madrid's foundations. Rodrygo. Because if the vacancy problem is resolved, Madrid has returned with a formation that can worry the opponent's defense.

Thibaut Courtois must accept to undergo the recovery process from the injury he got while playing, Real Madrid will not be looking for a new goalkeeper because it seems that Real Madrid's financial condition is not good so when he buys a new goalkeeper it will worsen Real Madrid's finances, So far there are still Kepa Arrizabalaga, Andriy Lunin and Lucas Cañizares who might be able to replace the position of Real Madrid goalkeeper.
