La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[asriloni]

Laliga campaign extremely competitive and fierce this season, it's just a matter of time before things get clearer for the yellow submarines. Quique Setien have been replaced and no longer the headcoach for Villarreal after his poor stats this new season, recording 1W 0D 3L in just four games, that means the fans should expect more horrible game results, so the board didn't relent and have to do what they got to do, to make the team a promising one. Jose 'Pacheta' Rojo Martin as been appointed as the new boss, that means alot of things will change since he's arriving to revived the club from the mess it is presently.

Setien's deserved it. Villareal shall not have plunged even deeper than this time. Mendilibar is now in a huge pressure after sevilla was still having 0 goals from a few matches. It's a horrible record by mendilibar after this coach was able giving sevilla one trophy last season.
Will mendilibad have the same fate as satien from villareal? that's pretty interesting to wait the final decision from sevilla. The club needs to go up as soon as possible as sevilla needs to win the match in UCL to get decent amounts of money.
Sevilla is in a critical situation right now. I can't even watch it if sevilla keep gets another loose. The upcoming match against atletico madrid is also very hard for this club with the current condition.
Winning against atletico madrid is an impossible task that must be done by mendilibar with the current squad.

Lewandowski has admitted that he has slow start this season because if we compared to his goal records last season is much better than now and even his goals records with Poland national team is much better than in Barcelona and Lewandowski has been complaining Xavi tactic while Barcelona only playing draw against Getafe last month this because he hasn't gets enough ball supply from the midfielder so that's why he was unable to scores at that time but i think it's only a matter of time to see Lewandowski reach to his top performance again because gradually he has found his shape again and the latest proof is he was able to scores two times in a row when Barcelona win from Osasuna and Villarreal

Xavi has implemented the best strategy for every opponent they face. but if the opponent has a good strategy to cut off Barca's attack ball in their midfield and not let Lewandowsky and Barca's attack line get enough ball then that is the difficulty Barca is experiencing.
Barca have a possession game with a strong midfield, what they need is to find a gap for the attack line to get a chance and immediately send the ball forward. Lewandowsky must catch up with them by scoring more goals. that will help Barca, and the connection with the midfield must continue to be developed.

Barcelona are strong in midfield and forward line but their defense is not that strong. No matter how much Xavi plans, his plans will not work if the defense line does not perform well. In every match that Barcelona have played so far in La Liga, we have noticed the extreme weakness of Barcelona's defense, especially the three goals that Barcelona conceded against Villarreal were completely due to the failure of Barcelona's defense. If the defense is bad against the relatively small teams, then against the big teams, the Barcelona defense will not care. At the moment, Barcelona's defense should be given the most importance. Because it is difficult to score full points if the defense is not strong.

Actually, in La Liga, Rea Sociedad is also not a small club and has sometimes given good surprises. It's just a matter of how Real Madrid can optimize its performance again or not. But usually, Real Madrid will be superior to this club. If you look at Head 2 Head, Real Madrid clearly won more. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Atletico vs Valencia, I believe Atletico Madrid should not experience high obstacles. Valencia didn't start the season very well. They are still inconsistent and sometimes cannot optimize their chances. Here, Atletico Madrid might still be able to gain more advantages than Valencia.

Meanwhile at UC, you could say that Lazio is tougher than Berlin. However, no one can guarantee that because sometimes German clubs can also provide quite strong surprises in the Champions League. But of course, which club can handle more, the results will be more optimal.

Real Sociedad is one of the promising clubs with having reputation for staying at the top of the league table and their performance is also mostly we organized which helps them for keeping in-touch with top ranked clubs this match could be not easy for the Real Madrid even they are playing at home and have enough chances with their performance is also at the best after having all 12 points form first three games.

Atlético Madrid is having impressive start with Valencia is having poor start even first two wins were good but now things coming on normal with 2 defeats are surely not good for them with now having fifth round game against Atlético Madrid which is currently one of the best team for better results and staying at the top ranks for few more weeks.

It seems that Real Sociedad is not a difficult opponent for Real Madrid and even though Real Sociedad is performing quite well and can be said to be one of the teams that is able to compete with the top but when they meet Real Madrid they team still far below Real Madrid capabilities.
Moreover it is true that Real Madrid has the advantage in home games and it looks like Real Sociedad will have continuous difficulties later.
If you choose the betting option Real Madrid is the favorite but if you want to look for a safe prediction goals for both teams are also the right choice.

Atlético Madrid is having impressive start with Valencia is having poor start even first two wins were good but now things coming on normal with 2 defeats are surely not good for them with now having fifth round game against Atlético Madrid which is currently one of the best team for better results and staying at the top ranks for few more weeks.

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid will be more difficult to guess who will win later and indeed Atletico Madrid started the season well but when you look at the statistics of the meetings between the two there are more draws and in the last meeting in La Liga last season it was Valencia who won the match with a score thin 1 - 0.
Maybe this time it will also end with a 1 - 1 draw.

Real Sociedad is a mid-table team and they are often dangerous and should be wary of, their performance at the start of this season is also not too bad but on the other hand we also have to look at Real Madrid's current weakness in their front line which is having difficulty scoring goals while the Real team Sociedad has a fairly strong defense, so even though this match will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home ground, they will definitely have difficulties and this will not be an easy match for them.

What Atlético Madrid is doing is an improvement from last season, and they looked stronger at the start of this season and if they can maintain their consistency I think this will be very dangerous for Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title.
I think against Valencia it will not be difficult for Atlético Madrid, the big win in the last match certainly made this team's confidence increase quite drastically.

Because it is difficult to score full points if the defense is not strong.

I believe that Xavi can overcome all these problems, he just needs a little time to fulfill Xavi promise which will improve the performance of all Barcelona players. In fact, I am sure that Xavi is currently planning to improve his defense line by replacing players or using other strategies to be able to balance the attack line with the defense line. and on the one hand we actually have to be able to appreciate how Xavi contributed to Barcelona only with existing players without having to transfer large numbers of players due to the unstable financial situation but the coach was able to bring Barcelona in almost the same condition as last season and we just Its quite confident that Barcelona will not lose the title in La Liga unless a surprise comes from Real Madrid which will surprisingly put strong pressure on Barcelona and if by the middle of this season Barcelona is unable to add more points, it is certain that the La Liga title will no longer be theirs.

The next puzzle for Villarreal's coach has been revealed and he is Pacheta. Previously we knew that Raul was being considered as Villarreal coach this season but it seems that no agreement has been reached between the two. So Raul will return to managing Real Madrid Castilla.

Pacheta has been appointed as a replacement for coach Setien who failed to win in several previous matches and now the former Valladolid coach will try his hand at returning as a coach after being absent for 2 years. If you look at his coaching career, he actually never managed big teams and more often handled mediocre teams. Even so, I am quite sure he will add new color to the Villarreal squad and I hope he is able to improve the players' performance.

[Velvet78]

Considering the formation Ancelotti is using right now there is no way Joselu aren't playing. Because he needs 2 strikers in the attacking line and there are only two available right now. If Vinicius Junior didn't get injured he would have been in Joselu's place that's for sure. However this can at least be a chance for Joselu.

He scored a goal against Getafe. If he maintains this effort as much as possible he can compete really well with Rodrygo. When Vinicius Junior is back maybe we might even see Joselu beside him. But this task isn't going to be easy considering Rodrygo's playing really good too.

Since Vinicius Junior is injured, Joselu will be in the team's starting XI for some time as Vinicius' replacement. And Joselu's chance to prove himself has arrived. If he is able to perform well, he can solidify his place in Madrid's squad. He has already scored a goal. Joselu is quite a talented player.

Real Madrid's next three matches are very difficult. If Joselu can score in these matches, his chest will be ripe in the Madrid squad. Real Madrid will play against strong teams like Real Sociedad, Union Berlin and Atletico Madrid respectively. And Madrid needs to win every match. Big challenges lie ahead for Ancelotti.

But now Real Madrid have Bellingham, this guy is very talented and they work well with Rodrigo. This is a chance for Joselu, and he will of course try to show the best he can, after all, as a player how he can prove himself if he is not given the chance to do so? In addition, Real participates in different tournaments and the depth of the bench is very important for such a team, so I think each of them will get enough playing time.

When Lamine Yamal shone with Barcelona and Spain, I am waiting for Guller to recover soon and play with Real Madrid. Guller himself intends to enter the team soon. Reportedly he wants to enter the team on September 23 or 24. At that time Real Madrid will play Atletico Madrid. But it seems that Real Madrid does not want to rush. It seems that they were traumatized by the incident to Hazard.

[shogun47]

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.

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.

Although I often think that even if Mbappe went to Real Madrid much earlier, it wouldn't have meant that he would not be able to become a billionaire. He is such a good player that he could have made billions with sponsorships when he started winning the Ballon d'or frequently. Like Roger Federer in tennis who is making much more with sponsorships than he has ever made in prize money. Mbappe could have written a story similar to what Messi has achieved. But all of that is not possible with PSG. Maybe he could have even surpassed Ronaldo when he decided to go to PSG like four years ago.

@shogun if it ain’t obvious he’s more interested in making money only and I’m glad that Real Madrid didn’t purchase him because he would have continuously demanded more money from them and while there’s a big change of him going to Real Madrid next season I hope that Madrid can turn him down. Furthermore Real should target Halland because Jude and Halland together would be a treat to watch and these two would make Real Madrid unbeatable.

I think Real Madrid has enough experience when we are talking about players trying to negotiate better deals constantly.

But from a general perspective I think it is sad that a player like Mbappe does not play for a club like Real Madrid. We as fans would enjoy to see him playing for them. It's a waste right now. Imagine Haaland would play in Saudi Arabia. We would be shocked. PSG is not that bad, but it is still an inferior league where a talent like Mbappe is wasting his time. But yes, he is rich for sure.

If so, then I agree not to rush into adding Arda Guller to the main squad against Atletico Madrid, because in terms of his game, you could say it's tough and I'm afraid there is an intention to injure Madrid's younger generation. This also applies to Bellingham to be careful because the tension in the match will definitely be quite high and emotionally draining. There is still plenty of time for other important matches because if you have just recovered from injury there is a very high risk of being absent again.

Lewandowsky must catch up with them by scoring more goals. that will help Barca, and the connection with the midfield must continue to be developed.

Actually, he doesn't play too badly, but we feel like we can't score many goals because the performance expected from him is much better. He is a player we would expect to score goals in every match. Of course, it draws attention when Lewandowski scores so few goals while the team has scored 8 goals in the league.
I hope this will change in the coming weeks and he will be able to score many goals again. He is a successful football player and the team needs him and his goals

I don't know why I really believe that one day Mbappe will play for the Real Madrid team, the best player in the world will play for the best team in the world, we just need to wait for the time, Mbappe is still very young and his time will still be very long.
And this season the Real Madrid team is really not looking for a star striker to replace the position left by Benzem, they really seem to be waiting for Mbappe.

I also have the same thoughts as you about Mbappe, which is that one day he will definitely wear a Real Madrid shirt, and maybe it will happen next season.
I haven't really followed Mbappe's progress with Paris Saint Germain lately, but from the last news I heard, Paris Saint Germain and Mbappe agreed to extend his contract, but in the contract there are also rumors that Paris Saint Germain will still sell Mbappe, and I think that's an agreement that both parties will benefit from.
Previously, Mbappe insisted on not extending his contract and wanted to leave quickly when his contract expired, now from there I speculate that Real Madrid is his next destination. and from the transfer movement Real Madrid is not too active and again I speculate to prepare to redeem Mbappe from PSG.

Real Madrid has talented and impressive players who have always done well throughout the years, even when Cristiano Ronaldo left. The players are constantly committed, and when it comes to negotiations, they always seek out better players who will have an influence and advance the team. Since Mbappe is still extremely young and enjoys many privileges at PSG, I'm confident that he won't receive any special treatment at Real Madrid. Mbappe quality fits in Madrid and he might have the opportunity to win the Champions league, but since he decided to stay in PSG the young man has his reasons and even without him the club is still doing very well.

I don't know why I really believe that one day Mbappe will play for the Real Madrid team, the best player in the world will play for the best team in the world, we just need to wait for the time, Mbappe is still very young and his time will still be very long.
And this season the Real Madrid team is really not looking for a star striker to replace the position left by Benzem, they really seem to be waiting for Mbappe.

 

I was aware that he had aspirations of playing for Real Madrid, but sometimes it's impossible to anticipate who will end up where. For example, you can think that Kylian Mbappe will play for Real Madrid in the future, but before you know it, the player has already committed to another team. Waiting for Mbappe is not the best option in my opinion. Instead, why not look for a player who is better than Mbappe? They will miss Karim Benzema to some extent because he gave his all for Real Madrid and because Madrid is currently leading the La Liga table. Barcelona is trailing, but this is still a new season, and the results will prove their assertion.

That's my believe as well and i even felt it would happen this season when he had a secret negotiation with Realmadrid but my hopes were cut short when PSG increased his release clause to scare other top clubs but i believe this deal might work out next summer and if it does it could be one of the best signing Realmadrid ever had just like Jude Bellingham this season and it would be so lovely to watch them play to Bellingham playing alongside Mbappe they'll be very invisible and tough against opponents.
 Well they’ve got a temporary player which they got from a division club Espanyol in person of Joselu and so far he's beginning to adapt to Realmadrid but whether or not he shines for Madrid, they'll definitely invest big in the striker position next season and hopefully it would be Mbappe.

Only time can answer that, if you ask each player personally, of course the answer is that they want to play with the best club in the world. Real Madrid has long wanted Mbappe presence, but the club has not succeeded in bringing him in until now. Real Madrid will continue to try to bring in Mbappe, especially since the player really wants to play for Real Madrid.
Mbappe presence will further add to the sharpness of Real Madrid's front line, he will increase Real Madrid's goal productivity because his quality is beyond doubt.

[KTChampions]

Don't rely on it. He is already 35. I will be surprised if he still plays in Europe next season. I think he is in decline and it began in Bayern (it was not for nothing that Bayern did not want to sign a long-term contract with him and only offered him a year), but we did not notice this because Bayern itself was fine.

It could be the reason why barcelona signed felix as lewa's age may become the main concern soon. Lewa's performance is also dropping a lot compared with las season. Take felix as a trial was the one of solution owned by barcelona as a preparation once lewa will leave from club but consider lewa's contract will be last till 25/26 season and i think that barcelona can still rely on it till the end of his contract.
~

It is unlikely that Lewandowski will play in Barcelona until the end of his contract - he will not have enough strength to be at the same level until he is 37-38 years old. Even Ronaldo is suffering greatly from age despite of he is a football and fitness fanatic. I think the ideal option is to sell him next summer to Saudi Arabia - Barcelona will be able to improve their financial affairs, and Lewandowski will still have the strength to shine in Saudi Arabia.

The Polish striker also complained that he has had fewer chances this season. He further added that he needs more support to enable him to get chances to score goals. Robert Lewandowski's performance since after the World Cup in Qatar has not been at his best. He relies heavily on others and hardly creates his chances. And in most cases, he keeps missing valuable chances. But he has scored some important goals that have given the club some important points.

I don't know why I really believe that one day Mbappe will play for the Real Madrid team, the best player in the world will play for the best team in the world, we just need to wait for the time, Mbappe is still very young and his time will still be very long.
And this season the Real Madrid team is really not looking for a star striker to replace the position left by Benzem, they really seem to be waiting for Mbappe.

It is not a secret that Mbappe's ambition is to play for Real Madrid. There are rumors that the Frenchman has already had a consensus agreement with Real Madrid to move to Spain next season. The problem is that many clubs will be willing to outbid Real to get this talented player. But in most cases, transfer mainly depends on the player's choice. One can also assume that the reason why the club didn't splash so much money on a striker during this transfer season was because they are expecting to sign Mbappe next season.
