La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Velvet78]

Girona are another interesting team this season so far. Because they have collected 10 points in 4 games. One of the wins was against Sevilla away. I know Sevilla's condition now but still it wasn't an easy game for Girona at all. However this kind of teams drop down from the challenge in top places early usually.

Therefore I'm curious about how long Girona can keep this up. They would be likely to get a big hit by the top 3 teams of the league - Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid. But if they stay in the fight for joining European tournaments it would still be a good achievement for them.

for me Real Madrid could beat Barcelona in La Liga and get the title to stay in La Liga for several seasons but unfortunately Real Madrid often do not think too much about the title in La Liga but focus more on other competitions such as the UCL and save all their energy in maintaining the players physical fitness. performed perfectly at UCL. we saw last season that Real Madrid got closer to Barcelona and it could be that Madrid could catch up to Barcelona points but Madrid must maintain player stability to reach the final even though they failed to make it to the final round.

so its not a question of whether Real Madrid can compete with Barcelona in La Liga but Madrid has the aim of winning the title in the UCL.

Yes, and in the end, Madrid was beaten by Manchester City, then they didn't have enough time in the remaining games at the end of the season, so in the end, Madrid only got the title in the Copa Del Rey and failed in the UCL and La Liga, that should also be a target this season, considering Madrid has been consistent in several matches earlier this season winning so that they are at the top of the Laliga standings now.

I think that Madrid and Barcelona will always compete in LaLiga even though Madrid sometimes focuses more on the UCL, at least this season they can maintain the players' stamina so they can be more consistent in LaLiga and also in the UCL, considering that Vinicius was injured and had to be absent for several other matches. of course it will be a loss for Madrid to compete in the domestic league as well as the UCL later.

Man , I'm really delighted to see Sergio Ramos back to his former club Sevilla but I'm afraid he is only a shadow of what he used to be and I hope he realizes that. He is 37 years old and last 2 years , he barely had solid games with PSG and his performance was on decrease since he joined PSG. Now , at least he can finish his career on his own terms and I have respect for him for now going into Saudi Arabia league or MLS because he has plenty of money to avoid both these leagues.

Girona's performance this season has surprised me. This team is now at the second place in the points table . We don't usually think of Girona as a strong team.  And in the last season too, the team finished tenth in the table. However girona played very well in the first four matches. Despite drawing the first match, Girona won the next three matches. Girona picked up points against the likes of getafe, Real sociedad and sevilla . These opponents are not too weak. Girona's defense is very strong.  In these four matches they have scored 7 goals, but conceded only two goals. Girona's performance is very stable due to their strong defense. My guess is that Girona will stay in the top four of the table for quite some time.

We all thought Madrid wouldn't get off to a good start this season. Because the best player in their squad, Benzema has left the team. But so far Madrid have been doing great. They played well and won every match. And Madrid's performance so far has been great because Bellingham has been playing well. Bellingham has adapted very well to the Madrid squad. Although he is originally a midfielder, he has become a scorer for Madrid. He scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 4 matches. But if Bellingham's performance deteriorates, it will be difficult for Madrid to maintain consistency. We are yet to see good performances from Vini, Rodrygo and Jeselu.

I don't agree that Real Madrid's performance has been very good in the last 4 matches. We really find it difficult to win games even against teams like Almeria, Celta Vigo and Getafe. Without Benzema everything is different, I mean Real Madrid at this time always have difficulty penetrating the opponent's defense even though Bellingham can really be a differentiator.
Real Madrid also lost Vinicius to injury, so there should be problems facing Real Madrid this season tactically. Joselu and Rodygo are good, but neither can always be relied on without a more comparable replacement. I'm afraid that Real Madrid could lose against Real Soiciedad or Atletico Madrid this season without really good strengths, but I give them full confidence this season.

Real Madrid's performance is not as poor as we expected to see from Real Madrid without Benzema. It is true that Real Madrid have some weaknesses in attack. However, since Bellingham is performing well, the weaknesses of the attack are not yet understood. If Bellingham performs poorly in a match, perhaps Madrid will understand the weakness of the squad.

Real Madrid lose Benzema. Vinicius is out of the squad due to injury. Both of these players have consistently performed well in Real Madrid's attack last season. So without these two players, Madrid's attack is likely to be weaker now. Also Luka Modrich is old enough. He probably won't be on the field for the full 90 minutes. So Madrid's attacking performance will now depend on Bellingham, Joselu and Roadyrgo. Madrid's next match is against Sociedad. Winning this match is challenging for Madrid.

Cadiz have a pretty good record at the start of this season because they managed to collect 7 points from 4 matches. Perhaps Cadiz's biggest result was their success in beating Villarreal last week, which resulted in coach Satien being fired as a result of the defeat. Apart from that, there was nothing surprising apart from their first defeat against Barcelona. However, I think it will still be very difficult for Cadiz in the future because they will still face other tough opponents and even though now they can breathe easier, it is only temporary unless they can prove that they are not the team like last season.

Since the main goal for Cadiz will be to take part in European cups, finishing the league at the top can be considered a success for them. They want to have a successful experience when they go to the conference league. Of course, there are tough teams in La Liga and their struggle should be appreciated, but going to the European cup should be their biggest goal.

That is very realistic, because if you look at the quality of the other teams, it is impossible for the Cadiz team to target more than that.
However, it must be admitted that Cadiz's performance at the start of this season was quite impressive, but I am a little doubtful that they will be able to maintain or be consistent with their current performance, because in the previous season we could see that there were several top teams whose performance was quite good, but they didn't able to maintain it, maybe so will Cadiz this season.

If they are really consistent and work hard with the team, surely everyone will be able to keep up with the big teams, even if it is very hard for Cadiz. Yes, it is very clear that this season Cadiz's performance has been quite good compared to last season, they have won several matches. In my opinion, they will definitely maintain their consistency in continuing to work hard with the team and show excellent performance in the match. It's true that in a football competition in every group there will be big teams to face, but if they work hard and give a very good performance in their game I'm sure they can win it, because in a football match anything can happen.

Yes, that was a great start for Girona and of course, that result will keep Girona in the top four at least for the next few weeks. What's more, in the next match Girona will play away but only against promoted team Granada. So yea, then surely Girona will still be able to guarantee three points in the next away match against Granada. Of course, it will be interesting to see Girona abilities, to what extent Girona will be able to stay in the top four. Because basically Girona is just a mediocre team, and in consideration also Girona will not be able to last long in the top four, but who knows.

They were a promoted club last season, and being in 10th place at the end of the season is a good record for a club in its first season, because usually promoted clubs will find it very difficult to compete at least in the middle of the standings and are more in the bottom half or even in the following season they will be back to being relegated. What they did was extraordinary, they wanted to show that promoted clubs can also do something good.
This season is a good season for them, their defense is good and their goal productivity is also good until week 4.

Well, Cadiz will face quite tough opponents in the next two matches. Namely against Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis. And I agree that Cadiz started the season very well this time around. Because he was able to get 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from the 4 matches he has faced.

But I also wouldn't be surprised if in the following weeks Cadiz would lose points again. But if it turns out that Cadiz is able to add points back in the next 2 matches. So I think Cadiz has indeed become a different team to last season. And their strength is something to be reckoned with this season.

Better than last season. It surprises me how cadiz perform better than last season. I don't even expect this to happen while sevilla keeps struggle with its performance. It's likely that cadiz was even stronger than sevilla.
Cadiz aims to get into the midtable at the end of this season. The club is working so hard to stay in the la liga even longer. I did like how cadiz was developing its club to perform better than last season.
I remember when people were speculating cadiz to be relegated but it's still staying in la liga right now.

Although it's quite possible but indeed everything has to be tried first and I think Cadiz has the capacity to do that. Moreover, the conference league or European league are two quite prestigious European competitions and they can make a club's name even bigger on the European stage. But the thing that must be paid attention to is how Cadiz can maintain its current positive trend. Considering it's still very early days, I think there will be a time when they will be overwhelmed by other strong teams in Laliga. But if Cadiz is able to excel starting from the middle of the season, it looks like their goal can be achieved.

It's not a situation that can last forever for Real Madrid without a strong striker who scores goals at full speed. He can run for cover but when the game gets tough between the Champions League and the Championship he will be in extreme difficulty, you'll see if I'm not wrong.
They need good attacker like Osimhen

Real Madrid does not have many problems because it does not play against very important and strong teams in the league for now. Real Madrid's game formation was based entirely on Vinicius JR and Benzama.
Carlo Ancelotti has a different squad this year, the squad is good, it just needs a new centre-forward. A new striker transfer seems absolutely necessary in the meantime, although it does not seem to be a problem at the moment. Bellingham has been in fantastic form, scoring five goals so far. Even though Luka Modrich is old, his experience is still very useful for the team.

Victor Osimhen is one of the best strikers at the moment but maybe Real Madrid don't have this star in their plans at the moment.

Real Madrid have needed a main striker since Karim Benzema left but Real Madrid are in no rush to sign a main striker they are just waiting for a good quality striker. Real Madrid can sign any striker they want but Real Madrid does not sign all players. Real Madrid contracts players who can play a major role for Real Madrid as well as benefit the club financially.
The way Real Madrid have set up their squad, even if their club is without a main striker this season, this team will do well in the Champions League and LaLiga. If I'm not mistaken I believe Real Madrid is only waiting for Mbappe. 
They may wait one more season for Mbappe and if Mbappe extends his contract with PSG after one more season, Real Madrid will take another striker and if Mbappe does not extend his contract with PSG, then Real Madrid will sign Mbappe anyway.

Last season Cadiz managed to finish in 14th position and was indeed quite close to the relegation zone, but Cadiz at least managed to get better at the start of this season. Although it is true, there is still a long way to go, but at least, if we consider the results obtained by Cadiz last season and at the start of this season there has been a change for the better. Because yes, even though Cadiz cannot guarantee that they will consistently achieve good results in every match, at least Cadiz has hope of being able to compete even better this season.

But for the next match Cadiz will play away against Bilbao, even though currently they have the same points, I'm sure. That Cadiz will find it difficult to beat Bilbao because I think Bilbao has better quality and of course Bilbao will try to get a good result at home.

Now , at least he can finish his career on his own terms and I have respect for him for now going into Saudi Arabia league or MLS because he has plenty of money to avoid both these leagues.

As far as I know, Sergio Ramos has been offered a position as a central defender in Manchester United by Ten Hag, but he declined the offer due to the insufficient wages offered by the club. Ramos was just following his heart and he will never regret it. Ramos has been considering his decision to join in sevilla again. He was also apologizing sevilla fans for his mistake in the past. Ramos is willing to play for sevilla as what he used to be, even though he was not young anymore. Sevilla really needs an experienced defender like him. The debt faced by this club has been robbing so many great players owned by the club.

There are big doubts for Cadiz on my part even though they are currently having an impressive performance. A team like Cadiz cannot maintain consistent form throughout the season and I think everyone would probably agree with me.

Cadiz is not a challenger for the La Liga title, in fact they are having too much trouble competing for the top 4, but so far I believe they are the only team who are La Liga participants who have successfully survived in this competition. Besides Cadiz can be expected to lose big games against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid or Barcelona, ​​so I don't have much faith in them compared to some other teams like Real Betis or Real Sociedad.

[rendravolt]

According to a report from Marca, Villarreal is now trying to consider Raul to replace the coaching position left by Setien. Currently Raul is a coach at Real Madrid Castilla and of course if Raul accepts an offer from Villarreal then the Real Madrid academy will lose a coach and also a club legend. But this will also be a new journey for Raul as coach of a team in higher competitions with Villarreal. As one of the great players and also a Spanish legend, Raul's quality cannot be doubted, but could he be a good coach with Villarreal? We should wait for news of developments later.

I can understand what you mean that a club like Real Madrid should have replaced Benzema but they haven't yet and his spot is still empty. We saw how Ancelotti need Mbappe to replace the club and it didn't work out,that is why you see that he is taking his time to look for that right player that will fit into Benzema's role. Their performance isn't that bad because they have a player like Bellingham who has always survived the club in their Victories. I don't think Real Madrid is facing a big challenge and if they can manage this squad efficiently, I believe that they will achieve something great this season. My only problem is Vinicius that is still on injury.
