La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[shogun47]

Yes, Villarreal is a club that cannot be underestimated and against Barcelona they showed a game that was good enough to match Barcelona's game.
Although Villarreal lost by conceding 4 goals, they also managed to get 3 goals.
This is one of the exciting matches and very fierce competition for the start of the season in La Liga.
Even though many thought that Barcelona would lose this match, it turned out that they were still able to take advantage of scoring opportunities to win a narrow victory over Villarreal.

Villarreal is indeed a strong team, but they are no better than Barcelona, in this match I did not see that Villarreal played well, but it was Barcelona who played badly so they could concede 3 goals even when Barcelona was 2-0 up. Villarreal was able to turn things around, until finally Barcelona's players came back to make the game 4--3 but it will be another evaluation for Xavi to continue to improve this team before facing more difficult opponents.

And what is of great concern is Barcelona's bottom line this season, look at how bad Barcelona's defense is, this is a pretty serious issue if Barcelona faces a tougher team, maybe to compete in La Liga Barcelona is still quite calculated but I really don't sure they will be able to compete tightly in the UCL stage.

It is fundamentally different from last season when Barcelona had by far the best defense in the league. If they now can't solve the problems they have in their defense, this season won't be very successful for them. I am also not convinced of their offense. Yes it is Lewandowski there, but it is not the world soccer player Lewandowski from a few years ago. If they have a defensive performance like that against Real Madrid, they will again be destroyed like in the second game in the Copa del Rey last season.

For today match Rayo vs Atletico Madrid i think home team cannot be underestimate because in the last 2 matches Rayo has successfully to collect 6 points and cleansheet so obviously Rayo in the positive condition although probably their status as underdog but i think it's not easy to beat them and Atletico Madrid last week has just gets unsatisfactory result because they only can able to playing draw against Betis so they want return to winning ways through an this match

Atletico Madrid has odds @1.97 but i don't think this is could be good pick because Rayo also sometimes to showed good performance at their home ground especially for team condition Rayo looks in the good shape because there is no players who gets injured or suspension but different situation for Atletico because for today match they will lost Koke who got light injured and i was thinking this match probably will ended to draw considers the conditions from these teams is not so different

However Rayo have been very good with the previous two wins and even if they lose against Atletico I don't think it will change the results they have had so far. I think Atletico are still too strong for Rayo and I have quite a doubt that Rayo can win at home even though Atletico are the opponents. What is clear is that I don't want to bet on this match because anything can still happen and the possible outcome of the match is also not what I predicted. But I'm quite the favorite for Atletico to win even though Koke must be absent due to injury because after all they have to get 3 additional points to catch the gap at the top of the standings.

I prefer to see rayo to lose against atletico. Rayo was strong, but atletico is far stronger than rayo. Atletico needs to get a perfect result. Vallecano is still having perfect results since the first match of la liga. I think that it will stop here.
I remind you that if vallecano rarely had excellent result against atletico madrid even though the game will be gonna play in vallecano's home. Atletico madrid needs only to play consistently, especially in the defensive line.

It's caused by vallevaco is an offensive team. Simeone has been also praising vallecano caused by the club was always playing offensive strategy against its opponent.
It's hard to think over 2.5 goals to happen.

[hahay]

I really can't think, how can Sevilla be so weak in La Liga. Because in the three matches Sevilla has played so far, the fact is that Sevilla only got a defeat. Meanwhile, if I consider about the opposing team faced by Sevilla then at least, basically Sevilla has a good chance to win. About Sevilla defeat when Sevilla playing against Valencia, maybe it is still a reasonable result. But, about Sevilla defeat by Alaves and Girona then I think it is a result that should not happen. Because anyway, in that match that Sevilla still has good statistics but still, Sevilla failed to win.

Yes it is Lewandowski there, but it is not the world soccer player Lewandowski from a few years ago. If they have a defensive performance like that against Real Madrid, they will again be destroyed like in the second game in the Copa del Rey last season.

Overall Barcelona defense is still strengthened by players who looked charming guarding Barcelona defense area last season. Villarreal is a strong club, they also play at their own headquarters, in my opinion it is very natural that Villarreal has the ambition to win matches in front of their supporters.

The three goals scored against Barcelona show how much Villarreal wants to secure full points, but Barcelona are much better than those who managed to score four goals. I don't really focus on Barcelona defense, it's normal for them to concede three goals because Villarreal has a good attack. Barcelona managed to keep a clean sheet in the previous two matches, conceding three goals is not a big problem, but Barcelona players must be able to close the movements of opponents who want to penetrate their defensive area.

Same Sir, I don't want to bet on that match either. After all that game will be played at home Rayo, and they will probably make an good effort to not lose points at home. Although I also favor Atletico Madrid, but their last match was not good because they couldn't get a win at Real Betis home. There is a possibility this match will ended in a draw result as bering said, but I hope Atletico Madrid can got winning because if they get the three points, they will have the same points for a while with Barcelona.

[KTChampions]

The fact that Barcelona won seems to be cool and 3 points is 3 points, but given the previous two games, I would say that this is another sign of weakness (if we are talking about the fight for the title). And with such a game (both in attack and defense), one should not count on any success in Eurocups. Maybe Xavi will be able to even out the situation, but globally I expect a repeat of previous seasons - instability that will not always end as well as today.

That's correct, the "three points is three points" talk might be true for La Liga, but when this is against the best European teams in the Champions League, I don't think that Barcelona has a realistic chance to make it to the semifinal. Maybe the quarterfinals could be possible, but the last season was a good example of what you just explained. A team like Inter Milan punishes this and doesn't lose the game like Villareal did. Both games against Cadiz and Getafe have already had some warning signals. Having one close game against an inferior team is normal, but these three games taken together aren't very promising so far.

By the way, as I expected, the bookmakers also rated this game as a minus for Barcelona and the quotes for the La Liga title shifted a little more in favor of Real Madrid. Now, according to the bookmakers, the odds of Real Madrid are 1.68 and Barcelona are 2.75. I consider this bias to be quite serious and still profitable to bet on Real (but I want to wait until September 1st to know for sure if Mbappe will come).

Yes, that's right, Villareal are a good team but of course not better than Barcelona. And it's true that as you said Barcelona didn't play well especially in the defensive area. Barcelona's defense must be repaired immediately otherwise Barcelona will find it difficult to face strong teams like Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

In that match, it was clear that Barcelona's defense that was not good was Sergi Roberto. Because of Villareal's first goal, instead of heading the ball, he just watched, and also during Villareal's second goal, he couldn't cut the ball on the right. And Villarreal's third also came from Roberto's position and he was slow to come down.

Barcelona made a move at the end of this transfer market, borrowing Jao Canselo from Man City with a permanent purchase option. Barca's defense looked porous in the match against Villarreal, the addition of this versatile defender is expected to patch up Barca's defense.

However, what caught the most attention after that game was Barca wonderkids Lamine Yamal, many predicted to be Messi's successor.

It is important for Barcelona to learn from this match and evaluate it to improve its defense going forward. While they have an advantage on offense, a strong defense is also important for long-term success. By identifying and fixing its weaknesses, Barcelona can become a more balanced team in the upcoming matches.
Even though in that match, the three goals scored by Villarreal showed the team's determination to get full points. However, Barcelona managed to emerge victorious by scoring four goals, demonstrating their superior quality in attack. Even though Barcelona's defense conceded three goals, this is perhaps understandable given the quality of Villarreal's attack.
But conceding three goals in one game shows there are gaps in their defense that need improvement. Barcelona players need to work well together to deal with the opponent's movements and prevent them from penetrating the defensive area.

I think that Mbappe won't come most probably as Carlo Ancelotti said that we are not waiting anymore attackers.However you are making the right call as if Mbappe comes it means that most likely Real Madrid will be Champions of La Liga this year as they need just a player like him in the midfield and they will have no problems whatsoever winning at least 95% of all of their games if not 100% of them.

Barcelona yesterday night showed great spirit as they come back from 3-2 to 3-4 and they were leading 0-2 before losing to 3-2,so great recovery,I doubt any other team would have done the same against a strong team like Villareal,for example I doubt if Real Madrid would have come back the same way Barcelona did.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Barcelona's weakness was against counter-attacks in this match. Villarreal had so many goal opportunities thanks to these counter-attacks. They were so comfortable with through balls at the same time. I hope that Xavi would do something about this to stay stronger in defense. They can continue to have serious issues against capable teams like Villarreal.

I liked this 16-year-old talent Yamal by the way. He got two shots hit the goal post in this match which was unlucky for him. He has a good technique as well. If he continues to have chances often then he might really shine and get offers from big teams in the future.

Barcelona did look so weak in terms of anticipating counter-attacks from Villarreal, but unfortunately there were many wasted opportunities because Villarreal's players were unable to finish well. Xavi knows the weaknesses of the bottom line when facing Villareal so he tries to improve the ability of the midfield to make them have control of the ball even though this strategy does not fully work because Villareal are also very strong in dominating possession. Frenkie De Jong has succeeded in becoming one of the players who stood out quite a bit in this match and he has a much better level of accuracy in holding the ball.

Lamin Yamal's talent was indeed quite impressive in that match even though he was slightly better than Raphinha, but it is not impossible that if Xavi gives more minutes to play it will make his performance much better for the next few matches. An assist given by Lamin Yamal to Gavi was the start of a goal scored in that match and I think it had a big impact on this victory.

I really can't think, how can Sevilla be so weak in La Liga. Because in the three matches Sevilla has played so far, the fact is that Sevilla only got a defeat. Meanwhile, if I consider about the opposing team faced by Sevilla then at least, basically Sevilla has a good chance to win. About Sevilla defeat when Sevilla playing against Valencia, maybe it is still a reasonable result. But, about Sevilla defeat by Alaves and Girona then I think it is a result that should not happen. Because anyway, in that match that Sevilla still has good statistics but still, Sevilla failed to win.

It's a natural thing when you look at Sevilla, last season? The past couple of seasons? Yeah they did the same thing, in La Liga they didn't do too well. The previous 2 seasons were probably good seasons for them, as they were able to keep Real Madrid in 2nd place, yes even though they eventually fell off towards the end of the season.
But they were different in European competitions, especially in the Europa League, it was a strange thing. Are they more concerned with that than La Liga or is it something else? But I don't think it's possible, because in theory they have to do well in La Liga to get there, even though they could still be there as long as they win.

The Spanish federation is threatening to leave UEFA after the kissing incident of its boss and teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona could be ejected from Champions League. I don't know which one is threatening the other since Champions League without these clubs is tasteless and sending threats that way from RFEF is kiddish.

For Cancelo, the deal is almost done, there is the medical visit then the signing of the loan contract with a purchase option of €25m. Not bad for both teams and Barcelona defence line will get a boost.

And Villarreal's third also came from Roberto's position and he was slow to come down.

For me, even though a top club like Barca certainly has weaknesses when they meet certain club and even though it looks convincing when Barca plays Villarreal, it not guarantee that Barca can beat it because we know that sometimes a club performance suddenly drops and sometimes there is carelessness on the defense and for me this is normal because problems like this happen to other club too.
But even though Barca lost, I think Barcelona has performed very well because Villarreal are lucky be able to beat Barca with only 1 score difference and this is not serious problem for Barca defense line and I think all of this can be fixed because I believe Xavi is able to increase.

[Velvet78]

Atletico Madrid have been comfortable in away games against Vallecano in the recent years. I think we can see a similar thing happening in this game as well. Their performance against Betis was really poor you know. They need to make up for that by making a good improvement and getting a win here. But they shouldn't underestimate their opponent at the same time.

Because Vallecano made even a better start than them by 2 away wins. They can motivate themselves to resist strongly in this game. If Atletico Madrid get ahead early it would be a big advantage. Breaking the defense of such smaller teams early helps a lot to find bigger spaces later on.

Yes, Real Madrid seems stronger than Barcelona this season. Real Madrid are still unbeaten in the 23/24 season. Real Madrid is at the top position in the La Liga points table with 9 points. As a Real Madrid supporter I expect them to qualify for the title this season. To make Real Madrid a strong team. I congratulate the coach of Real Madrid

For today match Rayo vs Atletico Madrid i think home team cannot be underestimate because in the last 2 matches Rayo has successfully to collect 6 points and cleansheet so obviously Rayo in the positive condition although probably their status as underdog but i think it's not easy to beat them and Atletico Madrid last week has just gets unsatisfactory result because they only can able to playing draw against Betis so they want return to winning ways through an this match

However Rayo have been very good with the previous two wins and even if they lose against Atletico I don't think it will change the results they have had so far.

I also agree that Rayo are a very offensive team so the possibility of them scoring goals would be more obvious. But now if we find it difficult to determine the bet for the result of the two of course we can bet on a fairly clear result such as the two teams scoring goals for each other or as you said for the result of over 2.5 goals because that can still happen. On the other hand, if we are too forced to bet on the victory of one team it is too risky considering that both of them want to win. Maybe just use small money if you want to bet on this match because considering the high intensity of the match results makes our expectations sometimes turn around and don't match.

Real Madrid are indeed stronger that Barcelona this season from the look of things. This is a good start for Real Madrid and I believe that if they can be consistent in winning their games,it will be a very big advantage for them to win Laliga. Since it is better to win at the beginning of the season to put the club in a good number of points.

I believe that this season will be a victorious season for Real Madrid despite that Benzema spot is still vacant,since they need a striker that has the kind of potential that he has. Ancelotti will have to work very hard to make sure that the club don't miss Benzema striking force so that they wouldn't have a big challenge in winning strong matches. It is when Real Madrid will play a strong club that I will see their attacking strength and experience.

The strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid this season is of course different, but these two teams have good quality players. Barcelona is not weaker than Real Madrid, while Real Madrid is not stronger than Barcelona if you set a benchmark difference of a few points in the last 3 matches. This assumption is not strong enough in my opinion because La Liga still has quite a lot of matches.

I agree that Real Madrid can win the title, while I also agree that Barcelona can secure it. Regardless of how the bookmakers set the odds for the two teams for the title this season, I believe we all cannot say for sure. We need to at least see how the two teams fare in the first half of the season before judging too far.

As a Real Madrid supporter I expect them to qualify for the title this season. To make Real Madrid a strong team. I congratulate the coach of Real Madrid

I know for the fact that Real Madrid took all the time to prepare for this and since Barcelona beat them to take the La Liga title away from Real Madrid last season makes it more intense and confronting for Real Madrid in this season and there is no doubt in their ability to deliver a lot of winning in the games lineup for the season,  and it will not stop there,  Real Madrid will also extend that performance to the championship were their will be giving Manchester city a tough time in the season.
