La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ruttoshi]

Real Madrid had to lose Vinicius who seemed to have a hamstring injury in this match. Ancelotti took Vinicius off and replaced him with Joselu, and I think Real Madrid's chances of winning the game will be affected without Vinicius. Celta Vigo are also very dangerous in the build-up where they have so far managed to create good chances to score, but they have all failed.

It looks like Real Madrid will have to make a bigger effort to win this game without the full squad. I agree that Real Madrid's performance was fine, but their attack was a bit lacking without Vinicius. The game is still scoreless even though it's been almost 40 minutes.

Carlo Ancelotti will grab his winning points in the game against Celta Vigo tonight, it's 55th minutes in the second halve, no goal yet. Real Madrid dominating every area on the pitch, it's a gradual process for the visitors, although the home team absorbing all the pressures and employing a defensive strategy in the game. However we have some issues in the game, Vinicius Júnior out of the game, it won't affect Los Blancos performance because they're competitive and serious about netting a goal. We have Jude Bellingham who's capable of opening the scoring goal for the match.

Celta was better in the first half but now Real Madrid took the possesion and i think we will see a goal soon. Celta trying with counter attacks to score,they are a hard team to beat at home and it wont be easy at all for Real Madrid to secure three points

Rodrigo has failed to give Los Blancos the leas by missing a penalty kick that was won by him. The second half is getting tensed as both clubs are struggling to score a goal. Real Madrid has lost some good opportunity this second half likewise Celta. This weekend will be the celebration of Real Madrid 100 years anniversary and they need to win this match to have a good celebration.

Celta goalkeeper did a good save on Rodrigo's penalty kick. He is such a good goalkeeper to deprive Real Madrid the opportunity of winning the game. I wish Benzema was still in the club he would have been the one to take that penalty. His vaccum hasn't been filled up. Celta is really proving to be tougher than expected in this match. The match is on the 77th minutes and its still 0-0.

[Docnaster]

It is true that the first half ended without a single goal from both teams. Real Madrid lost firepower down the left only after Vinicius came off and replaced Joselu, obviously that was a bit unkind about their chances. But I believe Real Madrid will still have the chance to score goals and win this game in the end, but the problem now is Ancelotti's strategic adjustments.

after Vini was pulled out, of course would weaken the left side of Real Madrid front in this match because he was already an ideal partnership with Bellingham and Rodrygo on the front lines, as they had done in the last two matches. We are watching the game in the second half and hope that in the second half Real Madrid can score goals and win this match.

Celta Who played quite well in the first half will try to take advantage of the time in the second half to stabilize their game even in their game in the second half it looks like they relatively strengthened their defense in this match. I think Celta defense was able to provide tight control of Bellingham movements so he found it difficult to develop his movements in this match.

In as much as I hate to admit it, I think Celta Vigo has been the better team in tonight's Spanish La Liga title and deserves to grab a late winner to complement their amazing performance against the favourites to win the Spanish La Liga this season.
Rodrygo missed Madrid's best chance of the night by missing from the penalty spot. But I think that the  Madrid  club might end the game with a win considering the quality in their squad.

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.

Actually, the new Real Madrid goalkeeper seems to be better than the previous one because it seems to me that adding that guy to the squad will even improve the squad so much that other opponents won't have to be scoring them as much as they want, and I think Real Madrid did this because they think this will be a tough season for them in any other competitions. I’m thinking the guy will be very dedicated to their upcoming matches. I hope we're going to have Real Madrid at the top this time around, even though any other top clubs are now ready to face each other in the season.

Yes yes everything is nice, great goalkeeper, nice to have him in the team. But didn`t Real Madrid need a good striker? What if it gets hurt? Isn`t it better to have two? I don`t understand why not focus on that.

Yeah, it’s truth, but right now I don’t see any sign that they will do that because the team seems to be perfect right now; they have other guys that can play well in the position, so I don't think we need to worry about it, and they are supposed to have two strikers, as you said, so that in case of injury, you know, in football, anything can happen, so alternative always favours having another good striker to replace this one. The fact that in some matches, one person may not endure the pressure, so if they at least change if one gets weak or something happens.

Celta Vigo almost got 1 goal in 5 minutes, but VAR thwarted it, i see in the 18th minute 'Vini Jr had to be replaced by Joselu, this had an impact on Madrid's offensive power which became dull and made the Madrid midfield have to work very hard to help attack.
Thank goodness that Madrid has a great midfielder, Bellingham proved that he deserves to be bought by Madrid at a high price, that was a really good goal from Bellingham using assists from Joselu, i'm sure 1-0 with Madrid's advantage will be the end of this match.

Missed chances are results a team gets when they lacked a natural player in that Central Forward position. Vinicius and the rest of the players will be creative enough but lacking a good replacement for Karim will definitely lead to them failure.
Not expecting such delays with the scores. Ancellotti had also ruled out any further transfer window incomings.

Real Sociedad as expected. They gave my betting ticket hope, I knew they was going to Draw the game. It's back to back draws now from them if not three draws. They should do better than last season.

He seems to have a posterior thigh injury (at least some of the news reports say so) and it's not that bad, but he'll be out for about 2 weeks. I hope that's the case because the loss of Vinicius could be a repeat of the loss of Benzema and something of a disaster, he is a very important player. Surprisingly, Sanchez suffered a similar injury.

Vinicius' injury was such a blow to Real Madrid that they really found it difficult to win this match. Without Vinicius Real Madrid's game was built around Rodrygo and Bellingham and that eventually led to a goal although Rodrygo wasted a good chance when awarded a penalty. Again and again, Bellingham is a goal-hungry midfielder where he has scored 4 goals in 3 matches so far. Real Madrid won 0-1, but the match was not over.

Villarreal might look like a tough matchup for Barcelona according to some people. But I don't think so. Because first of all Villarreal don't get lucky against them even for once for many years. The last time they managed to beat Barcelona home was in 2007. Since then Barcelona haven't lost a single away match against them. I think this match will also be added to this series. Barcelona didn't look impressive in their first two matches. But it was the same in the previous season as well.

I see that Barcelona have 2.08 odds for winning this match. I think it can be given a chance and it is even a nice option for single bet.

Vellareal is definitely a great team. This team will have a very competitive match against Barcelona. Still, I'll put Barcelona ahead based on the players' performances.

Barcelona are the favourites in every sense of the word, it's just that seeing these two clubs in their previous two matches makes me feel a little hesitant about the goal in this match.
I still feel Barcelona will win regardless of anything seeing the current conditions especially with the return of Pedri and Raphinha who after receiving sanctions can improve the quality of attack from Barcelona but the problem of goals I think this will be a little bad and I feel this is likely to be a narrow victory and at most a deficit of 2 goals in this match.

Looking at the current situation, it is possible to see the same match as before where Barcelona are strong in attack but not so good in finishing.
The 2 matches that have passed this season Barcelona still have not gained their momentum especially for finishing and converting opportunities into goals because Lewandowski is still struggling with the 1 striker performance at Barcelona unlike last season where Xavi always did it with 3 strikers and Lewandowski was at the center forward.

But as you said, Raphinha could push for a 4-3-3 scheme where Raphinha could be on the right wing and give Torres or Ansu a chance on the left or if you're not too sure you could experiment with Gavi there again.
It can still be done and I think the result will be the difference because with this, the possibility of them scoring more than 2 goals is still possible.

But I believe Real Madrid will still have the chance to score goals and win this game in the end, but the problem now is Ancelotti's strategic adjustments.

In the first half, Celta Vigo could play better than Real Madrid. They were very disciplined in limiting the chance for Real Madrid players to build attacking. So, Real Madrid couldn't get many shot attempts in the first half. Moreover, Vinicius got a problem and he must left the match very soon. Real Madrid lost their power in the left side. I guessed Ancelotti will replace Vini with Brahim Díaz but Ancelotti prefers Joselu. If Ancelotti chooses Brahim Díaz, he doesn't need to adjust their tactic and changes the formations.

However, Real Madrid could play better in second half, they have a better shot attempts. Finally, Real Madrid could score a single goal in minute 81' (Jude Bellingham). Once again, this man leads Real Madrid to get full points. He becomes the most impressive player in Real Madrid so far. Now, Jude Bellingham is the top scorer in La Liga temporarily. It is very rare that a midfielder to be a top scorer.

Rodrygo missed Madrid's best chance of the night by missing from the penalty spot. But I think that the  Madrid  club might end the game with a win considering the quality in their squad.

I'm pretty sure Real Madrid can win this match because Real Madrid have Bellingham who can be relied on to break the deadlock in this match. Yes, Bellingham again became an important actor in this match because he was able to score in the final minutes and again kept their pace in a winning streak in the 3 matches they had played.

Previously, after seeing Vini injured in this match, I was a little pessimistic about Real Madrid game in this match because Vini is one of the most influential players on the Real Madrid front line. But bellingham always made us smile after he scored. I think Bellingham is the best player Real Madrid have had this season.

[Velvet78]

Celta Vigo had a goal disallowed due to foul in the first minutes. But even if the goal was given to them I think Real Madrid would have still found a way to win the game. Rodrygo missed a penalty as well but this also didn't prevent them from winning here. Bellingham was the savior for the team and he just continues to score goals in each game.

I was able to predict only which side to win. I thought Celta Vigo would score a goal as well but they couldn't. They had many goal attempts actually but still it wasn't enough. The exact same formation was seen in this game and it still works decently. 3 wins in 3 games now for Real Madrid. It is a wonderful start.

Once again, this man leads Real Madrid to get full points. He becomes the most impressive player in Real Madrid so far. Now, Jude Bellingham is the top scorer in La Liga temporarily. It is very rare that a midfielder to be a top scorer.

In my opinion I believe Madrid should be worried that a midfielder is their highest and best goal scorer at the moment. The attack is not effective to me. He may manage to score goals now, but he can't do it for all season long. A time will come when he has to be a midfielder and what would Madrid do then?
Ancelotti said they won't be signing any more player this window, that's not a good call for me. They need attackers that can score goals. Vinicius is the only reliable attacker now and even him is injured now.

These wins of real Madrid don't deceive me, I still don't think they are ready to face the top clubs in Europe when the time comes. Their midfield may hold, but the attack won't be able to deliver.

[ingiltere]

Jude Bellingham is a gem Real Madrid found this season. He carries the team alone in first three games. Real Madrid obviously need more attacking power, especially a striker who has a great finishing. They are lacking this right now. Vini is injured, Rodrygo is not enough. They can't trust Joselu. The league is a long marathon and there is also Champions League. The squad quality is below expectations.

Real Madrid won this game but didn't give good signals. They'll face problems in the long run if they don't make good transfers in last days of the transfer window.

Real Sociedad did not start the season well last season. However, their performance towards the end of the season was quite good. At the beginning of this season, Real Sociedad's opponents were relatively weak. Their opponents Girona, Celta Vigo and Las Palmas in the first three matches are not strong teams. Even then, Real Sociedad drew all three matches. Such was their performance. Palmas players performed better than Sociedad in today's match as well. I'm happy killing if palmas could have won today. The team was able to dominate the match. I was very disappointed with Sociedad's performance. We don't expect such a poor performance from this team.

Yes we don't expect poor performance from the Real Sociedad team, although they are still got points but one point from every match, is not a good result. They must be able to get full points in the next match if they don't want to be far behind their competitors in the league, although on paper Real Sociedad should be able to get full points against Granada, but I'm afraid Granada team can make a surprise with a draw too.

It is very rare that a midfielder to be a top scorer.

Celta Vigo were very impressive in the 1st half and had  goal  revoked  by var in the 3rd minutes of the game due to foul committed and they pressed more in the 1st half making it very tough for Realmadrid to get good chances and when Vinicius Jnr  got injured I felt it was going to be the end for Realmadrid and that they'll lose the game but suprisenly the 1st half ended with a draw with Realmadrid losing on of their key player to injury.
 The 2nd half was quite favourable for Realmadrid and they had good chances of getting more goals, what suprised me was that Rodrygo missed a chance to score a penalty and make the match 0-1 in their favour towards the 69th minute, but Jude Bellingham came to their rescue once again  and scored a header at 81 minutes of the game, I made a state in a post sometime ago that he was going to keep scoring and would probably score in his next match and suprisenly he did, this young lad has been very impressive since the came to Realmadrid and has made his new team not to feel the absence of their former striker Benzema, Jude Bellingham is in a great form this season and I hope he maintains it till the end of this season, Realmadrid  are still sitted on top of the table with 9 points and would be looking to have another win in their next match against Getafe.

[JeromeTash]

Very hard fought win for Real Madrid. Jude Bellingham, once again to the rescue. This match showed the importance of having Vinicius on the pitch, and I am dreading moments where he and Bellingham won't be available. Madrid will lose lots of points.

I think Signing Joselu was a big mistake, they should have gone full swing and signed a serious striker or goal poacher.

[Rengga Jati]

Celta Vigo almost got 1 goal in 5 minutes, but VAR thwarted it,

Yes, it's quite thrilling when you see their game in the early minutes. Pretty impressive. And throughout the match, Celta Vigo also carried out various attacks, and even if you look at the statistics, they even had quite a number of attacks. Although in ball possession they are quite behind. However, still lose. Here, Real Madrid was able to optimize the full point again thanks to a goal from Bellingham. It's not in vain that Real Madrid spent a lot of money to bring him to Real Madrid.

[Rockstarguy]

Rodrygo missed a penalty as well but this also didn't prevent them from winning here. Bellingham was the savior for the team and he just continues to score goals in each game.

I was able to predict only which side to win. I thought Celta Vigo would score a goal as well but they couldn't. They had many goal attempts actually but still it wasn't enough. The exact same formation was seen in this game and it still works decently. 3 wins in 3 games now for Real Madrid. It is a wonderful start.

Celta Vigo had chances of scoring goals but it wasn't easy for them to achieve it, the goal that would have really helped them to equalize the game with Real madrid was disallowed. If the goal was not cancelled for Celta Vigo,  Real Madrid would have still find a way to increase their goal to become the winner of the game.  Before the game started I already know it won't be easy for Celta Vigo to defeat Real Madrid . Real Madrid have better players than what is in Celta Vigo and it is expected for Real Madrid to win the game.

Jude Bellingham is a gem Real Madrid found this season. He carries the team alone in first three games. Real Madrid obviously need more attacking power, especially a striker who has a great finishing. They are lacking this right now. Vini is injured, Rodrygo is not enough. They can't trust Joselu.

Real Madrid winning Celta Vigo 1nil  who came prepared for them. Real Madrid found it really rough for them in the game. Jude Bellingham is rare gem in Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid made one of the good decision when  they signed Bellingham from Borrusia Dortmund. Looking at him presently, he keeps all hope alive for Santiago Bernabeu and delivering them. In today's game, it was really rough for Madrid, in addition Rodrygo wasted his penalty shootouts, why? He didn't have the right balance but Jude Bellingham made justice for that.

The 20yrs old Bellingham has given Real Madrid three points tonight his with marvelous header goal that was scored ten minutes after Rodrigo lost the penalty kick. This is the fourth goal scored by this youngster in three matches played this season, which two was from a header. It seems that Ancelotti brought in Bellingham to replace Benzema but in a different wing because he has been scoring goals that has always put Real Madrid through. It was a good performance from Real Madrid players in the second half and they finally won the game and gained all three points.
