La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[asriloni]

Can Atletico Madrid really improve this season? This is one of the topics I'm curious about. It is really important for Simeone's future with this team as well. If we see a similar performance this season as well then the board might not want to extend Simeone's contract. They should be able to stay in the title race somehow.

In the same way I hope to see them achieving a decent success in the Champions League as well. I already see them in last 16. However I think they should be able to reach at least the quarter finals. If they have a solid season like this then I'm pretty sure Simeone would be kept by them.

Atletico Madrid are good in starting well, but once the season get to the middle then you will begin to see them reducing points that will make them not to recover till the end of the tournament. I think they started with some new strategies, which if they can maintain this new strategies through out the tournament, they will make a good record from champions league and la Liga league competition because it look like their coach has discovered their mistakes that is making them not to display well at the end of the tournament. I think the season is still new for someone to predict for Atletico Madrid to reach quarter finals, because there are many teams that are well prepared to dominate through out the season to frustrate some teams in this season.

It's hard to predict it. Atletico might perform so well in la liga but this club was always showing opposite thing on UCL. It likes atletico madrid was always losing its best performance once it was playing in UCL. The chance for atletico madrid to go to the play off was quite big consider it was not in a tough group. Simeone never had a very big target for UCL being able to go to the playoff or last 16 already great achievement for atletico madrid. This club was always losing on the group stage. Im feeling optomistic if simeone will make it to go to the play off stage.
Atletico was in the same group with lazio, feyenoord and celtic. The chance to go to the playoff is big. The club needs only to perform consistently in la liga and UCL.
Simeone is always trying to make sure its club will not be exhausted caused by the busy schedule will be faced by atletico madrid. The upcoming match against Sevilla is something I'm really looking forward to, and I'm eagerly awaiting it.

I understand what you mean, but he needs a striker now and not in a season
It could be really dangerous to play like this without anyone in charge

maybe they are secretly negotiating with a great striker, and we obviously don't know it

Indeed, this season Real Madrid needs the best striker to be their mainstay player, but we cannot deny that this season Real Madrid will have to compete without the best striker because of the rejected offer from PSG and whether Real Madrid is secretly looking for the best striker is certain and we all know who this player is because previously there were many rumors about this reliable striker but it seems that this season Madrid will have to be patient and only rely on Bellingham who can be relied on in Madrid line up even though he is not a striker but this player has been recognized as being able to save Madrid from bad performance and this has been proven from the last few matches.

Its only speculation that it looks like next season Real Madrid will have a chance to sign a striker from PSG if the offer is approved but if not it looks like Madrid have other alternative destinations.

...For some players there is something like too much workload and that can have negative consequences for them. Bellingham seems to be ready to go the full distance in a season.

This would be good if conditions were like that. And it will be even better if in the future there will be no problems related to injuries. Because at this age, Bellingham's career should still be long. How his career goes in the future will also depend on his and Real Madrid's consistency in optimizing his talent. This will be a great combination if Bellingham can continue to improve his skills and remain solid in the team.

Yes but what we can already see is the praise and recognition that Bellingham gets is fundamentally different from that which Mbappe gets playing for PSG.

If Bellingham wants to become the best player in the world and also win those rewards, his choice to go to Real Madrid was exactly the right one. Mbappe playing for PSG will have a hard time because this leads to an instand discredit when the player of the year choices are made. Playing for Real Madrid and being the best is simply different from playing for PSG and being the best.

Mbappe is doing the right thing for his wallet, but he is doing the wrong thing for his career in terms of personal achievements. Real Madrid should have been his first choice.

[harapan]

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 think it is a well known fact that Real Madrid did not spend heavily on a striker this summer because they are waiting to sign talisman Mbappe from PSG in the next summer transfer window. and this is why Joselu was signed as a stop gap. Instead, Madrid invested in their midfield options heavily; as they prepare to let go of Modric and Kroos in the coming season.

They have brought in good young players replacing Modric and Kroos next year since they both signed a contract extension of one year both. Now thy need to focus on getting a player who can replace benzema and also do better than him in the future. Joselu waste chances and if Madrid depends on him for big games he will fail them. Mbappe had been said too much we will have to wait and see if he will join one of the best clubs in all of Europe. Bellingham has a good start to life already in the Spanish League he can do better than he is if he works very hard it will be a season to remember.

That is 100% right.Bellingham is showing great performance at Real Madrid,he has been scoring goals and doing great personal performances with the team,he even scored that 96th minute goal in front of the home fans against Getafe which gave Real Madrid those vital 3 points to make it 12 points in 4 games.

Mbappe should have moved out of PSG as the maximum he will achieve there is the Ligue 1 trophy,based on Paris players I don't think they stand a chance to win the Champions which Bellingham stand with Real Madrid,so definitely a wrong professional choice for Mbappe.

I congratulate Bellingham on finding his wings at Real Madrid, the club that will help him shine with his youth and talent. In the future, I hope he will be the new star of the European Football Federation. When Ronaldo, Messi, and Neymar left Europe.

To play for Real Madrid is fantastic. They will be raised to a new level.
Yes, Mbappe is a good player. Everyone realizes that. It was a mistake when he turned his back on Real Madrid to continue renewing with PSG. He chose power and money instead of going to Real Madrid. His career resembles Neymar's, who was bogged down at PSG before.

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.

Instead, Madrid invested in their midfield options heavily; as they prepare to let go of Modric and Kroos in the coming season.

Ancelotti and Real Madrid management know what they have to do in this transfer window and there is no doubt about their performance so far. Midfield improvement is an important part of what they have to do first and they are recruiting players who can be projected for the long term.

For the stickers I'm sure they will get Mbappe without having to spend any money because Mbappe will be available as a free transfer next season. For this season real madrid still has several players who can be relied on enough to score goals even though their status is not a sticker. Like bellingham in continuing to contribute by scoring goals in every game.

I think more than anything Real Madrid improved their midfielder by hiering players like Jude Bellingham.
Real Madrid lost Benzema and I thought this team would have problems this season because of not hiring a forward like him, especially when Mbappe didn't join Real Madrid but Ancelotti was experienced enough and he had a good plan to cover the empty places by using players like Bellingham.

Real Madrid have lost Karim Benzema and brought another great midfielder to their squad. While Real Madrid's new midfielder, he has performed brilliantly in every match since the start of the season. Jude Bellingham is one of the best players in Real Madrid right now. When Real Madrid signed a new player after losing Karim Benzema, Real Madrid's stars were almost empty, but after Jude Bellingham joined, Real Madrid improved again. Jude Bellingham is a smart player who has performed well in every game for Madrid and has earned a record for his goals in every game in the new season. However, this season Real Madrid has become much stronger only because of this great midfielder while Jude Bellingham has been applying enough experience for Madrid. It is true that Real Madrid got a new midfielder by losing Karim Benzema and now Madrid have improved only for Jude Bellingham.

It is true that Real Madrid made no mistake paying dearly for Jude Bellingham this summer and Real Madrid have placed full faith in him.
Bellingham himself immediately proved Real Madrid's trustworthiness by winning several matches. Losing Karim Benzema and Vini getting injured was indeed a nightmare for Real Madrid, but after recruiting these new players, it seems that Real Madrid has bounced back and is much better now.
In the next game, Madrid will face Real Sociedad, can Bellingham this time give Madrid another win?

[Rampagoe004]

Atletico Madrid are good in starting well, but once the season get to the middle then you will begin to see them reducing points that will make them not to recover till the end of the tournament.

Atletico is indeed a great club. However, they have gaps in terms of squad depth. Substitute players do not have the capacity and capability to approach the main players. It was not visible at the start of the season. But in the middle of the season, a busy match schedule and the risk of injury are a scary threat for teams that don't have good squad depth.

The upcoming match against Sevilla is something I'm really looking forward to, and I'm eagerly awaiting it.

This game has been postponed by the way. After heavy rain it was postponed and it isn't going to be played in the upcoming fixture. Atletico Madrid are going to play an away game against Valencia instead. About this game I just expect no surprises. Valencia made a good start first but their last two performances were bad.

Atletico Madrid should be able to take advantage of their vulnerabilities and continue to win. On the other hand Sevilla have a home game against Las Palmas. Hopefully they can get their first win after getting three losses already.

[ndutndut]

Atletico Madrid have started the season very well. Won two and drew one of the first three matches. And watching their performance reminds me of the 2020-21 season. Atlético Madrid have scored 10 goals and conceded just one goal in these three matches. If the team is able to maintain this consistency then they are undoubtedly worthy contenders for this season's title. There is no doubt that Barcelona and Real Madrid are strong teams. However, Atletico Madrid's bar squad is also quite strong. This team has the potential to do well this season. Let's see if Atletico Madrid are able to maintain consistency.

Yes, it's true, Atletico Madrid started the season very convincingly, of course Atletico Madrid this season is terrible, as strong as new. It can also be seen that Memphis Depay is happier and plays carefree when playing for Atletico Madrid, which is different from when he was at Barcelona when it seemed like there was a burden and pressure.
But behind Depay's arrival, there was Joao Felix who was eliminated from the squad. Joao Felix openly wanted to play at Barcelona and now his dream of playing at Barcelona has been achieved. I think this season Atletico Madrid will be a challenger for this season's La Liga champions provided they have to be consistent in every match, they must get three points in every match.

I was really Anticipating the match between Athletico Madrid and Sevilla Before I got postponed, I really wanted to see the strength of Athletico against another big match, but I think they were favourites because they've had a better start of the season while Sevilla are poor in form this season, I predicted a straight win for Athletico though however it got postponed.
 They would be playing against another big team that's not really in form this season and I expect Diego Simeone's team to thrash Valencia even though they're away from home they're in a good form this season, currently unbeaten and even thrashed Rayo Vallecano with seven goals away from home, so I expect same energy against Valencia after the break, as for Sevilla I hope they win their next match cause they're currently at the bottom of the table and winning Las Palmas would be a lift for them.

Jude Bellingham since his arrival at Real Madrid has become the club's most important player and despite the fact that Real Madrid didn't start most of the games they've played so far this season with a recognized no.9 striker, he's scored decisive goals that's helped keep the club at the top of the league table.
Real Madrid manager's new playing formation is working perfectly well for him but will face tougher test when they play bigger teams most especially in the UEFA Champions League competition.

It was not visible at the start of the season. But in the middle of the season, a busy match schedule and the risk of injury are a scary threat for teams that don't have good squad depth.

I also admit that their team is very strong and their performance this season is very good compared to last season. It is true that substitute players are only second-tier players to replace core players. Of course it will reduce the good performance early in the game, but all of that must be done if the first player has to be sent off and there is no other choice but to replace the main player. I am sure Diego Simeone will provide the same instructions and training as the main players and what is certain is that the substitute players will try hard to fight with the team. It is indeed important for football clubs to have quality substitute players who are able to fill key positions when needed. A lack of squad depth can take a toll on a team's performance, especially if key players are injured or tired.
So I think it is necessary to increase the team's resilience, Atletico management may need to consider a strategy to strengthen the depth of the squad, either by developing young players or buying additional players.

Atletico Madrid learned from last season's mistakes and they proved at the start of this season that they have improved a lot.
I don't think there are many things they need to change anymore, this team is a pretty solid team and they often make fierce competition at the top of the La Liga standings, it's just that last season they were a little down and they have fixed that.
Diego Simeone has coached Atletico Madrid for a long time and he really knows what this team needs, and Diego Simeone is also very capable of creating or uniting chemistry between players, they don't need star players but Diego Simeone has succeeded in making this team much more solid.

[X-ray]

It is true that Real Madrid made no mistake paying dearly for Jude Bellingham this summer and Real Madrid have placed full faith in him.

Jude's transfer really paid off to the club. He was still very young at this moment, but he was able helping the club a lot. His debut is far above than my expectation. It was not easy for him when he decided to join Real Madrid as many people doubted him, and I remember this quite clearly. His performance beyond my expectation. It's really amazing to see jude bellingham was carrying the club anytime. He was always helping the club in scoring goal.

Bellingham himself immediately proved Real Madrid's trustworthiness by winning several matches. Losing Karim Benzema and Vini getting injured was indeed a nightmare for Real Madrid, but after recruiting these new players, it seems that Real Madrid has bounced back and is much better now.
In the next game, Madrid will face Real Sociedad, can Bellingham this time give Madrid another win?

Madrid can only rely on bellingham now. It's even hard to imagine if the big club like real madrid will be relying upon bellingham which was 20 years old. Real madrid can only use joselu, bellingham and rodry as the starting line up in the attacking line.
Vini already expect to comeback again next month. It's a hard situation for real madrid to play without him.

[Ndabagi01]

If we see a similar performance this season as well then the board might not want to extend Simeone's contract. They should be able to stay in the title race somehow.

Atletico Madrid is a highly good La Liga team that has been dominating for a long time. But when they get to disappoint you, it will be when you least expect it. Simeone's future at Atletico Madrid will not be jeopardised even if they do not finish in the top place this season, which I am hopeful they will achieve. Just like Arsene Wenger of Arsenal and Alex Ferguson of Manchester United, Diego Simeone is devoted to that club.

In the same way I hope to see them achieving a decent success in the Champions League as well. I already see them in last 16. However I think they should be able to reach at least the quarter finals. If they have a solid season like this then I'm pretty sure Simeone would be kept by them.

Atletico Madrid have not been performing well in the Champions League, despite previously reaching the semifinals and even finals under the same management of Diego Simeone. This group stage appears promising to them, and I believe they will advance to the round of 16. After that, I can't say how far they can advance in the competition because we don't know who they'll meet in the round of 16. I hope they can re-create their previous good performance in the UCL, they'll undoubtedly go far, but can they?

[Strongkored]

I think this season Atletico Madrid will be a challenger for this season's La Liga champions provided they have to be consistent in every match, they must get three points in every match.

However, Atletico Madrid is one of the strongest teams in Laliga, and no matter how strong it is, there are times when things are bad enough to go through, maybe because the players have decreased in performance or because of injuries or also because their competing teams are experiencing very real developments that make the competition so tight. in that season.
I agree that Atletico Madrid started the season quite well and if they want to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona then they have to start well from the start of the season, if they experience problems from the start of the season it will be difficult because they can be left far behind competing teams.
Alvaro Morata has also performed quite well at the start of this season, at least he has scored 3 goals in three matches, and the big win from Rayo Vallecano has made their strikers collect goals.

[Jody.Drummer]

I'm still looking forward to the resurgence of Villareal who are still struggling to win at the moment. Since the 2019/2020 season they have always been in the ranks at least in the top 7 of the standings, and last season they managed to finish 5th and ensure a ticket to go to the Europa League. This season they have only won 1 victory and the rest ended in defeat from the 4 matches they have played. Their defense is one of the highlights in this case, because one of the causes of their defeat is the fragility of their defense, to date 9 goals have been nested into their nets, and in my opinion it is a bad signal for a club that the last few seasons have played well.

Another club experiencing the same thing is Real Sociedad, although they are still arguably better than Vilareal, still 3 draws are unsatisfactory results. Their winning percentage has become lower.
At the start of every season, this is always bound to happen, maybe their balance has not been perfectly created, I am also looking forward to their improved performance.

[giammangiato]

--SNIP--
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.

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.

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.

I honestly think that Barcelona have other problems, they have Robert Lewandowski who is a really good striker but lately he hasnt been scoring many goals. Victor Osimhen was also a little subdued as he was overtaken by Lautaro in the Italian championship.
Lets see if they activate.

Barcelona do not have many problems to be candid; infact their situation is mild as compared to how the media address it. Xavi boys are literally struggling with fitness and creativity; which means they are able to score only little goals; and this will change once their top players, wingers return from injury; for now Barcelona are defending well and getting the neccessary 3 points.
