La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Popkon6]

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.

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

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.

Real Madrid's strikers have serious problems. The team needs a good striker in the attack After the departure of Karim Benzema from the team, the attack part of the team has become a little weak.

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.

This has been the biggest problem for Real Madrid as Karim Benzema's place has been vacant since his departure. But so far, Real Madrid has not appointed any player to fill the vacancy. Playing Real Madrid against any team these days must be feared as they need experienced players to score goals which is why Real Madrid lacks experienced players at present. So if they should appoint experienced players as soon as possible then there will be no problem for Real Madrid to bet. But I'm afraid to bet because Karim Benzema is vacant.

I wouldn't have a different opinion about Real Madrid when Benzema was still there. He was amazing and deserves all the respect for what he has achieved in his career, but what he in a condition that was strong enough to win more Champions League and La Liga titles with Real Madrid or would they probably be better off if they have either Bellingham to fill that gap with his interpretation of the position he is playing or to find the perfect player who is able to play the role as a striker like Haaland, for instance.

Ancelotti wouldn't just want any striker for the sake of having a striker. That is why he was creative now and tried out how Bellingham would do if he has more responsibility for the offensive game and so far nobody can complain. But I see a risk on the horizon moving forward this season. Bellingham could miss games or it turns out that in games when he is more busy with defending that he can't give the important passes and shots in the offense.

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.

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.

Even though he had some problems with Sevilla during his time in Madrid, especially with their fans, we can't ignore the fact that Sergio has strong ties with the club because he grew up in Sevilla before he went to Madrid where he made his name even bigger and became one of the great defenders of this era.

Now he's coming back with a lot of emotion especially when it comes to the reception of course it's a good thing for Sergio even though at the end of the day it might be after this season that he leaves and retires but it's been a very good career for Sergio with Sevilla being the club that started and ended his career.

Joao Felix has got what he wanted by playing with Barcelona to win the La Liga trophy and coupled with a fairly large fee of course Joao Felix is now like a lucky player he can also have the advantage of increasing his popularity as a talented young player when managed to win the title this season.
Xavi has realized Joao Felix dream of wanting to join him but when he succeeds in becoming a great and competitive player for Barcelona maybe Atletico Madrid will also feel disappointed because they let him go to Barcelona.

Xavi and Barcelona fans hope that he can contribute as much and as well as possible for the team so that it is proportional to the amount of money he receives.

Joao Felix is a great attacking player with great skills that helps him drive past opposing defenders whenever he's with the ball and that's why I think he'll be a good signing for Barcelona this season.
Xavi Hernandez has shown he's a manager especially in  man-management and I think his he'll help the Portuguese to have a good spell at the club this season. If effectively used, Felix attacking skills and pace will b serve as a big threat to any club that'll face Barcelona this season.

When talking about Joao Felix playing skills he is indeed a young striker with the capacity to play quite effectively in getting past the opponent's defense and when coupled with the training given by Xavi he can really be a threat to other teams when they play against Barcelona starting this season.
Even though in his first game with Barcelona he didn't give any goals or assists in the next matches I hope he can show his contribution and make Xavi and the fans proud of his presence in the Barcelona squad.

Things are going on well for Real Madrid. They are deprived of 3 important members like Courtois, Militao and Vinicius Junior. But this is still not an obstacle for them to maintain a winning streak. Bellingham is playing a huge role in this form of course. He is even the current leader in top scorers table.  

Madrid have found their replacements. Kepa for curtois, Rudiger for militao and joselu can still play to replace vini even though joselu was not as good as vini. In fact, madrid is also having bellingham at this moment to replace benzema.
It's not a problem for the club to lose those important players due to the injury. That's why madrid needs to learn from this case if the club must have also good backup once the main players were injured.

The reserve players are not all worse than the main players who are sent down in every match because some coaches use players who are good enough on the bench to be used when the team is in a lagging condition and these reserve players can perform optimally with stamina that is still really good conducive to launching attacks and catching up.
Real Madrid will never lose strength even if their mainstay players have left or are injured and that is true with players like Joselu or Bellingham and some of the players you have mentioned.

However I'm wondering how good they will deal with big opponents without these players. I mean especially the matches against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. They are going to take on Atletico Madrid very soon for example. The reason why I wonder this is that it wasn't really easy for them to defeat Getafe home.

I think that even if madrid was losing against the big club and it's not a problem. Despite facing tough competition from top clubs like Barcelona and Atletico, Madrid still has a chance to emerge victorious. The injuries of some players did not result in Madrid completely losing its power.
Madrid can also get draw against a strong opponent. Madrid just need to puts more attention to the barcelona.

It's still early in the 2023/24 season and even though Real Madrid lose matches and are behind on points due to absent players it doesn't mean Real Madrid can't compete well and Ancelotti definitely has a way to overcome the problem of having players absent from injury.

The debt faced by this club has been robbing so many great players owned by the club.

I am sure that Sergio Ramos chose to join Sevilla because he realized he was not young enough to adapt quickly to another club and he chose to go to Sevilla because he knows the current state of Sevilla is very bad and needs player to be able to help improve performance to perform in the champions league and when he was at Seville he would put the chemistry together quicker and certainly not just about the money.
Many hope that the arrival of sergio Ramos at Seville will be able to rebuild Sevilla performance for this season and to try to win Champions League trophy.

I would consider Barcelona to be the best team in La Liga so far. Because Barcelona have been performing brilliantly since the beginning of this season. Besides, two new incredibly good players have been added to the team a few days ago, so we hope that the team will be stronger.

Have you been watching a different league or club or are you sure that you are talking about Barcelona from La Liga? If you said that they played ok so far, I would think ok, it is your opinion. But you consider them to be the best team in the league when on average they concede one goal per game, already had a draw and sometimes have massive problems with their offense. They lack some high quality experienced players and not a lot of people think that they will make it very far in the Champions League. They are behind Real Madrid and there are three teams who have a better goal difference, but in your opinion they are "brilliant and the best".

It is very difficult to find a striker who is so hungry for goals, especially like Karim Benzema, because an attacker like Karim Benzema is like looking for a needle in a haystack, the era has been replaced by an era with young talent, even we all European clubs are competing to find a reliable and goal-hungry striker, no It's easy for Real Madrid to find the right replacement like Karim Benzema.

Statistically Real Madrid are slightly better in La Liga so far than Barcelona, the points difference proves that. What is most interesting is that Xavi's squad has quite complete players in every line, including pure striker Lewandowski. The reverse condition was experienced by Ancelotti squad, several key players were not available due to injury. Under these conditions, Madrid can secure full points in every match, this is the benchmark I think.

However, both of them are still the best in La Liga, when the two meet in the "El Clasico" match, it will give a full picture of who is the best this season.

Real Madrid's strikers have serious problems. The team needs a good striker in the attack After the departure of Karim Benzema from the team, the attack part of the team has become a little weak.

That is what Carlo Ancelotti is currently thinking about for Real Madrid because he himself is also working on several players on the front lines to become good strikers so that Real Madrid will not be weak this season. I'm quite sure that Carlo Ancelotti can do it for the Real Madrid team even though it takes time to try it, but the team themselves hope that this will not become an obstacle in order to perform well this season.

I wouldn't pull the statistics card only here and make my judgment based on who has more points right now, but I think that assuming that Vinicius Junior will return in maybe 12 weeks and everyone else is healthy, Real Madrid is the slightly better team in my opinion. I don't know whether Lewandowski can still be considered this one-man-show player he used to be when he was in his best shape possible. That was impressive, but he already played a little bit under his maximum last season. He scored goals and he did so on a regular basis, but I remember how he played when he became the best player in the world. That was a different level.

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.

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.

With Girona's current form, they look set to stay at the top of the table for the next few weeks. In the next three matches,  Girona will play against granada, mallorca and villarreal respectively. In the next match, Girona will play against Real Madrid. I think they will concede the first leg against Real Madrid.  This team will be undefeated till the previous matches. Girona's performance is very stable. This team is able to maintain consistency. .and since they are now second in the table. Girona's players are now more confident . Because of this it will now become more difficult for any team to earn points against Girona.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently looking for more young talent for the long term. Just look at Barcelona with Pedri, Gavi, Alejandro Balde and Lamine Yamal. Then Real Madrid there are Bellingham, Guller, Vinicius. They seem to be starting to realize that they don't want to waste a lot of money on expensive players. The latest news Real Madrid and Barcelona are fighting for the 19-year-old central midfielder is a product of Celta Vigo's youth academy Sugo Sotelo.

However, both of them are still the best in La Liga, when the two meet in the "El Clasico" match, it will give a full picture of who is the best this season.

Changes to the standings can occur in the following week, after all, from 3rd place and the leader of the standings only have a difference of only two points.  If Madrid is held to a draw in the Real Sociedad match, that means it will provide an opportunity for the teams below them to overtake the top of the standings.  or maybe vice versa, if Barcelona encounter problems when hosting Real Betis, it is the same as providing an opportunity for Madrid to widen the gap between points from them.

IMO, there's no need to wait for these two teams to meet in the El Clasico match, especially since this meeting still has a time lag.  but what is certain is that the standings can change every week. We will see which team is consistent in match after match. In the Madrid camp, Ancelotti lost several players who had to be absent due to injury, including Vini Jr, who was absent for several weeks.  He is scheduled to return on October 4th. Luckily, they have Joselu even though we haven't seen a stable performance from this player.

Meanwhile for Barcelona, ​​Pedri is also scheduled to return on October 4th. for R. Araujo, his status is unknown. but now that Barcelona has Joao Cancelo, it is very likely that Xavi will include him in the starting eleven in his squad. besides that, Xavi will not only rely on Gavi to play on the wing. now, Felix can rely on Xavi for that position. in theory, Barcelona should be able to perform better. meanwhile for Madrid, the absence of Vini Jr could make Madrid's performance less sharp on the front lines. but what is certain is that we just enjoy what La Liga will offer every week.

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.

That's good news for King Raul, he can coach a club in Spain highest division. Villarreal is also not a weak club, I think King will consider that. Although previously it was reported that Raul rejected Leeds United proposal, but for Villarreal there is a possibility he will accept. In my opinion he has to show his qualities as a coach in La Liga if want to coach of Real Madrid, because reportedly that man really wants to become the head coach of Real Madrid.

They need good attacker like Osimhen

Real Madrid need a proven scorer like Osimhen or Mbappe. Benzema was a regular scorer for Real Madrid. And Vinicius, Rodrygo and JOselu are talented and experienced no doubt. But they are not regular scorers. Joselu played very well with Espanyol last season. He has scored many goals. He was probably the third highest scorer in La Liga. But his performance with Madrid is still not very good. On the other hand, Vinicius and Rodrygo cannot even score on a regular basis. So next season Madrid management must add experienced striker to the squad. Perhaps the Madrid management should add Osimhen or Mbappe to the squad.

Maybe Girona will stay there for a few more weeks, but that is not going to be the case after a while. I bet that they are not going to be good enough on the long run and we are going to end up seeing them not do that much. I think it's quite important to make sure that we are not doing anything that is profitable, and the reality is that we are talking about something that will benefit us.

The reality is that we will do something that will make sure that it is not doing that weirdly and it should be helpful for them if they keep getting more defensive. Girona already did some fine games so far, but that is not something they can keep up for 30 more games, so defensive would be the solution to keep it going for them.

I had no doubts, Benzema Karim is a great player without a doubt but Real Madrid, which is a great team, can very well replace him with other young strikers that they have in their squad.
He could even take someone from the spring and have him play in the big league, its not a possibility to be discarded.

Of course I agree with that, but currently I don't know who is a great striker who is worthy of replacing Benzema in the team when Real Madrid only has Joselu as a center forward. I know Real Madrid can bring in the players they are looking for, but so far they haven't done so and have chosen to withdraw from the transfer market.

I hope there is a new signing for the center forward position in the next transfer window, it will make this team stronger until the end of the season even though there is no guarantee that Real Madrid can win the title this season.

I've noticed some great problems in Real Madrid's attack share in a few games that don't exist in Barcelona's team, but Lewandowski is currently missing some great opportunities to score goals. But considering other aspects, Barcelona team is more self-sufficient than Real Madrid.

Although the upcoming match of Real Madrid against Real Sociedad may seem challenging, but Real Madrid will have the match victory at the end. I strongly believe that.
In the last match of Real Madrid Getafe, Vinicius wasn't present in the match due to injury but Real Madrid was able to win the match by 2-1 at the end of the match. Hopefully, in the upcoming match of Real Madrid, Real Madrid will do the same despite the absence of  Vinicius in the squad. I trust Ancelotti because he knows the formation and the players he will use to play against Real Sociedad to have a victory since it is a home game for them.
