La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[borovichok]

Barcelona's incredible form continues. They won against Betis and Antwerp by the same score, 5-0. They are still unbeaten and they are on a great winning streak at the same time. Next time they are hosting Celta Vigo in the La Liga and this should be a very comfortable game for Barcelona honestly.

Celta Vigo are one of the teams making the worst start to the season. I don't expect them to resist Barcelona until the end. I remember the game between Celta Vigo and Real Madrid of course. Real Madrid barely won by a late goal. But here in Camp Nou I don't give them that much chance.

Barcelona keeps standing strong in games, Xavi Hernandez making sure he wins all the necessary games at hand and not just mere winning but with relevant goals scoring. The blaugrana are on fire, having a streak winnings against competitive sides, scoring 10 goals in two games is incredible, they are enjoying the best moment of the season. Their next game is Celta Vigo, checking their past history, it would be more challenging because Celta Vigo won them in their last meeting, perhaps it's Camp Nou were Barcelona can get pretty hands on handling them.

Only one match in the Spanish La Liga today. Alaves will play Athletic Bilbao. Alaves are getting good results in home matches. They managed to beat Sevilla and Valencia at home. However, they have had the opposite results in away matches. They lost against Rayo Vallecano, Getafe and Cadiz. They will undoubtedly want to take advantage of the home advantage in this match. On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao didn't start the season very well. But in recent weeks they have started to get good results. They have 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 matches.

Alaves are getting good results in home matches. Athletic Bilbao have been performing well in recent weeks. I think this match will be a game with lots of goals.

Barcelona has faced a weak opponent. Winning with huge scores against its antwerp was not a surprise. Barcelona is also being placed at the weak group as well. it's so easy for barcelona to go to the play off. I will always put all in barcelona during group stage games.
There's no reason not to pick barcelona caused by the club is dominating the group stage. The quality owned by barcelona is far compared with porto and the rest of team in the group.

Celta Vigo are one of the teams making the worst start to the season. I don't expect them to resist Barcelona until the end. I remember the game between Celta Vigo and Real Madrid of course. Real Madrid barely won by a late goal. But here in Camp Nou I don't give them that much chance.

Barcelona has good record over celta vigo. it will be an easy match for barcelona even though xavi's team may only score one or two goals to win against celta vigo.
My prediction if celta vigo will be playing defensively against barcelona soon.

[Litzki1990]

Talented players like Zidane are very rare in the world. Bellingham is a great player, but I don't think Bellingham is as good as him right now. Yes, he played well in a few matches, but he has many more years ahead of him. I hope he becomes one of the iconic football players of Real Madrid.

Madrid is indeed lucky to have Bellingham at the moment and is not even disappointed in buying him because unlike some other big clubs where players are expensive when bought and then they get injured for a long time so it is very detrimental, Madrid was really right in choosing young players and it was really right to take Bellingham in the transfer market last summer. Madrid will be a strong team this season.

If Mbappe joins as a striker at Madrid, of course Madrid will really be a strong team because they have lots of great and talented players so that Madrid can win lots of titles this season. I want to see if Bellingham is able to give Madrid the LaLiga title this season or the UCL. this season. I'm sure all their fans have hope in him.

@piebeyb while I’m enjoying watching him play I’m equally worried for him too because whenever young player’s get this kind of stardom they tend to become arrogant and lose their way and thus I hope that Jude somehow manages to stay humble and work hard each day to become even better then he currently is. Also Mbappe has been messing with Real Madrid a lot now and they should forget about him and focus on buying Halland because as I have said before Halland and Jude’s partnership would be lethal and they would make Real Madrid unbeatable.

Real Madrid may not see in Halland what they see in Mbappe, which is why they are so keen to sign Mbappe. Mbappé did not keep his word with Real Madrid several times and did not complete the contract with Real Madrid but Real Madrid is not bothered by his behavior. Although Mbappe did not sign a contract with Real Madrid for one season, Real Madrid is waiting for Mbappe for one more season. 
Halland is undoubtedly a good star but I think Mbappe has more football skills than Halland. Real Madrid are still waiting for Mbappe because of his great finishing and making a great impact on the game.

Real was very very lucky to get this win, and we need to really give credit to Jude for being such a great "striker" for them lately. They are having incredible tough time scoring goals because they are lacking players they had before, Vini is a must for them. Jude has taken up the responsibility very very well and they are doing amazingly.

I feel like we are talking about a situation that is a lot more important for them than people think it is, because Jude wasn't brought in to be a scorer, he was brought in so that he would be a great midfielder, which he was at Dortmund and before. Him turning into a goal scorer wasn't something anyone expected but that fact saved them so many times during this season so far.

Jude Bellingham is not only a midfield player; he can also play as a striker. He wants Real Madrid to win every game this season and to become the most renowned team in the world because the absence of Karim Benzema will negatively impact the team. Real Madrid are really fortunate to have a player like Bellingham on their team since, without him, I do not believe that any other Real Madrid player is currently more intelligent than he is.

Real Madrid always plays a lucky game this season, and that's because the majority of the team members are injured. Real Madrid, as far as I'm aware, never played ball by winning like this before; instead, they always played well by defeating teams with a lot of goals. However, this season, it's been very difficult to see real Madrid score goals in the opening period of a game.

Bellingham's ability to transition between midfielder and striker has been impressive this season. He clearly assisted Real Madrid through these trying times. But the club's dependence on him worries me. Benzema's replacement has done well, but its unfair to put so much burden on one man. Madrid must remember teamwork is crucial. Not sure why Real Madrid is playing a "lucky game." In the past, they ruled. They need to reinforce their front line to stabilize their attack and not rely on Bellingham.

Soon we are going to have the Madrid derby in the next week, Real Madrid against Atletico Madrid, and this won't be an easy game for Atletico Madrid at all, mostly because of the recent performance we saw against Lazio and Valencia in this season.
Diego Godín the former legendary palyer of Atletico Madrid was the target of many Atletico Madrid fans and they did not agree with what he said about the team. Diego Godín said Atletico Madrid is changing and they don't have good performance anymore.
The bets are not bad for this game winning the chance for both teams seems near.

We will see that what's gonna happen with atletico madrid soon. Godin was not wrong but we need also wait to see how stable atletico's madrid performance till the middle of season. People are always disagree with others who said about the truth but to be honest if im boring to see simeone keep use same strategy. Another club just need to use the same strategy used by valencia to destroy atletico madrid. I think that real madrid will also learn from valencia to beat atletico madrid caused by winning against atletico madrid will make real madrid kick atletico out from the title race this season.
Real madrid will be playing so impressively against atletico madrid soon. Bellingham will be scoring another goal against atletico madrid.

My prediction if celta vigo will be playing defensively against barcelona soon.

Barcelona managed to win the first match of the Champions League by a huge margin. However, this victory does not mean that Barcelona will do anything extraordinary in the Champions League. Because in the next matches we have to compete against bigger teams. The position of the Barcelona team can be understood there.

[rendravolt]

Talking about the Madrid derby, it seems that Real Madrid will have new ammunition in the match because two of their players who were previously absent due to injury have now started to return to training sessions. It can be seen that Vini and Arda Guler are starting to make preparations for this match, but I feel that Real Madrid will not force Vini's condition to play in this hot derby match considering that the consequences could be fatal and lead to another injury. On the other hand, it is possible that Arda Guler could be a good refreshing option if it is later included as a supersub.

Meanwhile, for other news, I just heard that Carvajal will be absent from this derby match and will probably be sidelined for up to 10 days, after previously it was confirmed that he would recover in 8 days. Apart from that, everyone will be looking forward to this week's Madrid derby because even though Atletico haven't had good results so far, when it comes to prestige, they will still be on par with Real Madrid to compete for victory.

[Ryu_Ar1]

It was a certainty because it was impossible to find a replacement so quickly for a Benzema who we already knew how he performed and had his prime at Madrid, but on the other hand they knew what they had to do, with Jude's presence things got a little better and my doubts at the start of the season were really slapped down when up until now Jude has been able to answer my doubts with his fine performances and prove that he is worth the 100+ million price tag this season.
Inevitably now Ancelloti just needs to find a player who can contribute better to their CF because for the other positions I actually think it's very good. Joselu's presence is also very good but he still can't be aligned with Benzema before.

Karim Benzema because of his contributions to the club, was the most important important member of the Real Madrid team before he left them in the summer and joined Saudi Arabian club and that's why finding a striker that's as prolific as the Frenchman is surely gonna be an easy task for his former club.
The club has clearly made their intentions of signing his compatriot Kylian Mbappe as his replacement but couldn't reach agreement with his club Paris Saint Germaine in the summer but it's been reported severally in the media that Mbappe will join the Spanish giants next summer

At the moment the possibility of waiting is a certainty but indeed for the problem of strikers I also think it is optional for Madrid because if they feel they need a striker in the winter they can also still do that option by looking for a striker for alternatives but in this case I believe the focus remains on Mbappe even though they did not say explicitly to pursue Mbappe as before.
On the other hand, now they also have to think about Ancellotti's replacement options because seeing from the deal that happened this is Ancelotti's last season and Madrid clearly have to find a suitable successor so that they can guide the young players well just like Ancelotti always did at this time.
I think Madrid has only 2 jobs now which is not too urgent but needs to be prepared from now on.

Barcelona still becomes the hardest competitor for real madrid. Even though bellingham's position was not a striker but he can also fill benzema's position as someone who would be really helpful in winning the club.  
I don't wanna be trapped in the old memories once benzema was still there. We shall move on my friend. Madrid needs also determining its future.

Real Madrid has been at their best with their recent performance both at the champions league and their local league, as they have recorded more win than losses in the la Liga, I'm expectant that Madrid would do even better in subsequent games in the La Liga. Like you rightly mentioned Barcelona is their hardest contender and Madrid as well is not a weak side.

Whenever they Get to meet in the la Liga it will be a really interesting and fascinating game to watch as the both contenders are big in the league, it will be the battle of the giants. Barcelona has a good record so far enough to be said to be in form enough to take on any team in the la Liga and probably the champions league, I still anticipate their performance in their next game.

The position and impact of benzema was still at Madrid is definitely obviously and is one that the team wouldn't forget but Bellingham even tho not a striker will try his possible best to fit in for the position in the mean time as he is the only one who stands the chance to a great extent at the moment until otherwise, but regardless Madrid will and is still doing great

Real Madrid will definitely feel the need of a good striker against Barcelona in my opinion. So far Real Madrid has performed really well. But sometimes Real Madrid did not score as many goals as they should have as well. But in any other aspect for Real Madrid has been really good. I think we can easily say that Real Madrid has one of the most balanced squads in the whole La Liga except for the attacking position.

It is surely going to be interesting when Barcelona will play against Real Madrid.  I think both teams have the capability of winning against the other. Both of them are yet to lose a match in this season. Again, it is going to be a battle between them for the title.

Alaves are getting good results in home matches. Athletic Bilbao have been performing well in recent weeks. I think this match will be a game with lots of goals.

I think this will be a game that Atletico Bilbao will win and I will bet on this match. I am not underestimating Alaves but I predict as I said above. After losing the first match, Atletico Bilbao bounced back in matches 2 and 3 with wins. They stumbled a little in the 4th match with only a draw, but in the last match they could bounce back with a victory. On the other hand, Alaves is still stumbling by losing and winning and so on.
This match I put Atletico Bilbao as favorites.

It will not be a hard game for barcelona. I meant barcelona has been getting a good result in UCL and celta vigo will become the next opponent for barcelona. Barcelona will not let three points to go away.
Barcelona needs full points to be close to the real madrid. It's caused by madrid is the only strongest competitor for this time caused by atletico madrid would become the next opponent for real madrid.
It can also become an opportunity for barcelona to cut its gap to the real madrid as the club that is leading the competition right now.
I think that xavi will always use trio FLF to be the main attackers for barcelona. Fellix played so well since he was moving to the barcelona.

Because in the next matches we have to compete against bigger teams. The position of the Barcelona team can be understood there.

This is a very weak opponent so it is very natural that Barcelona is able to win by a large number of scores in their first match in the UCL group phase this season. Apart from that, Barcelona is also very lucky to be in Group H because there is no team that is stronger than FC Porto, whose team quality is still better than the other two teams in that group. So I think it was a very ordinary win because the opponent was not strong enough even though the score was high.

[Docnaster]

Apart from that, everyone will be looking forward to this week's Madrid derby because even though Atletico haven't had good results so far, when it comes to prestige, they will still be on par with Real Madrid to compete for victory.

The Madrid derby is reported to be one of the most popular derbies in the history of football and as expected the first Madrid derby of the season has been getting so much attention from the media. The two Madrid clubs will be battling it out on Sunday at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium for who will win the all important game.
Real Madrid has won all their five league games so far this season while their neighbors have just picked up seven Spanish La Liga points from a possible 15 which I think give Real Madrid a better advantage going in to the crucial game on Sunday. With the return of Vinicius Jnr to the Real Madrid squad, a draw is the worst result that is expected of Real Madrid in that game.

[beerlover]

As a Real Madrid fan, I only care about consistent wins, not the number of goals they score.
The key for madrid to win la liga is not about how much goals produced by the club but it's about how the club is consistently winning any game to get full points till the end of season.
Since vini was injured and i don't even put a lot of expectation for madrid to scoring as many goals as possible. Being able to consistently acquiring full points from another club is enough for me caused by real madrid is trying to win la liga title this season.

Barcelona still becomes the hardest competitor for real madrid. Even though bellingham's position was not a striker but he can also fill benzema's position as someone who would be really helpful in winning the club.  
I don't wanna be trapped in the old memories once benzema was still there. We shall move on my friend. Madrid needs also determining its future.

Benzema is also getting older. The club must also find a new talent to replace him. Benzema is feeling so happy play in the saudi pro league.

That's so important, they could win the whole season with 1-0 results all a fan would care, as long as they get 3 points, it could be 9-8 results too and nobody would care, I mean that would be lovely because it would be chaotic and never seen before, but at the same time unrealistic. Real is still winning, it could be last minutes, it could be single goal, it could look unplanned and lucky, none of that matters as long as the result of the game is a win.

Real Madrid fans are lucky because they have seen more championships and titles just in the last 10 years let alone any before, then most fans have seen in their entire club existence. Which is why I feel like they have a lot of responsibility to uphold and be better.

I think that xavi will always use trio FLF to be the main attackers for barcelona. Fellix played so well since he was moving to the barcelona.

I refuse to agree with you as at as this time the only issues Real Madrid have is that of a good striker but not withstanding it has not affected them so badly that they will be an easy game for Barcelona. It's true that Barcelona has been fantastic and really done well for their self recently but it is not enough to see Real Madrid as weak and not been able to contend strongly with Barcelona.

It's definitely going to be a hard one for Barcelona even if they eventually win they may at some point work hard enough to deserve it because it's definitely not going to come just easy for them all at once. The goal margin for anyone who may happen to be a winner in the game will definitely be small I'm quite sure it will not exceed two goal or even less

A draw is very possible aswell too but then anything can still happen as this is football a game of possibilities especially when it has to do with two great teams battling for a top spot, usually games like this ends in draw or a 1-0 defeat mostly in favour of the home team. Madrid will definitely have problems scoring goals as their strikers are not in very good form even recently it's observed in the number of goals they score in their recent games.

So I think it was a very ordinary win because the opponent was not strong enough even though the score was high.

So yes, let's look forward to the next match in the Champions League group stage, because Barcelona will be playing away against Porto. At least, Porto is the second favorite in this group, so the result could be a proof and maybe another consideration for Barcelona as well. But apart from that, Barcelona will play against Celta Vigo in the next match in La Liga. I think, this match will also be a revenge match because yes, Barcelona lost by Celta Vigo in their second match last season. Therefore, I believe Barcelona will probably win with a big score also against Celta Vigo, because I consider at this moment Celta Vigo does not look good against Barcelona.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Any strong team can lose and this time Atletico Madrid lost the game against Valencia while were waving to see them winning this game. Diego is still in good form with his teams and they have good performance regardless of their performance in this match. At the moment of writing this post, they are playing against Lazio and they are winning the game with 1-0 results which is more important than in the game against Valencia.

Well I don't consider Champions League superior than La Liga matches for a team like Atlético Madrid. I mean surely Champions League has its charm but we all know that the actual ATM players cannot go far and it would be better securing a place in the first 4 spots in La Liga to be able to join and collect some money again.
Now the game vs Lazio wasn't successful for ATM since they failed to win and returned with only one point. Well a positive result for ATM in an away game after all.

Even I agree with you here, and they need to consider La Liga better than Champions League but still this was surprising defeat as Valencia is not good as they have done on this day and have win by the margin of 3 - 0 and now Atlético Madrid is having another poor result against Lazio but still this is acceptable with they have chance to lead this group and I have no doubt they are still third-best team in La Liga after losing against Valencia, and they can fight back with their quality and performance in coming matches.

Most chances they will be ended in top eight or just next round but still they are considered as one of the best in Spain behind two giants which are currently at the top of league table.

Well, we have always thought about it, Atlético de Madrid is a great team, one of the toughest in the League and it always makes the difference, but there is no need to be alarmed, Cholo must know how to handle this defeat, they know that They cannot continue losing, it is good that the clear margin was wide, but that is how football is, many bets were lost, because the logic of many said that the winner of this match would have been Atlétco, there are teams that go through very bad streaks. due to crises, sometimes due to personal problems, for many reasons things can happen, however here in La Liga, very big problems can occur, then this can be seen reflected in the way of playing, although currently this is the norm, Roblams are everywhere, what they have to do is quickly recover those points, because they have goals against, and that can affect a lot in the classification, so it would be sad if a team like this that is also very good stays behind.

Atletico Madrid Manager Diego Simeone was optimistic about his side’s performance in their Champions League opener, in spite of Lazio goalkeeper grabbing a 95th-minute equaliser.

Simeone did make it very clear to Diario AS that he felt the Lazio goal was fortunate to have stood, alleging a shirt-pull on Angel Correa in the build-up.

“On the side, where we are, we can’t do anything, the grab on Correa is clear and it is an action against us when the game had gone. Beyond this small detail, I think they played better in the first half with the ball, they didn’t hurt us but they circulated well. The goal came fortunately and I think we had an important second half. Despite the boys taking some hits, we competed well, we didn’t know how to close it out and in a beautiful play, we conceded a goal that will mean a tremendous night for Lazio.”

El Cholo was positive about the way his side played, lamenting the fact they did not finish things before Ivan Provedel went up for the corner.

What I like about all this is that Cholo maintains an offensive attitude, I have seen Cholo come out of much stronger situations than these , so it could be said that things can be seen as more focused on what we call a simple Ciris, the cholo is very good, he can inject his players with what they need to be able to get ahead, what they have to do is win games, come on, it's not difficult, that's a normal requirement that every team makes, Of course, taking into consideration that the main teams to win would be Barcelona, Real Madrid, since these are the challenges they have in La Liga , and well, it can become as I know, the more difficult teams are that they have to make a much greater effort than what they They are doing it, I know that all the teams have a high level, but they have to Recover the level they had before, for Atlético de Madrid to reach the finals.

[Rockstarguy]

It is surely going to be interesting when Barcelona will play against Real Madrid.  I think both teams have the capability of winning against the other. Both of them are yet to lose a match in this season. Again, it is going to be a battle between them for the title.

When Barcelona and Real Madrid meets this season the game will be very interesting because Barcelona and Read Madrid have the same quality of strength. Real Madrid has Bellingham who is always playing a good role when it comes to scoring of goals, and Barcelona also have some good players even Joao Felix who is a new player but performing very well, I think it is very difficult to predict which team will become champion when this two teams meet. From what I have seen in the performance of Barcelona this season I think they are better than last season.

[bering]

Bilbao has starting the league with gets lose result from Real Madrid on week 1 but after that they can able to bounce back with gets 3 wins from 4 latest matches and today against Alaves they have good opportunities to collect 3 points and actually as promotion team the performance of Alaves is not really bad because at least they can able to gets 2 wins from 5 matches and their current position also is quite good at 14th place but Bilbao is in the good shape so it's quite difficult for Alaves to stole points from Bilbao although they playing at their home

For team condition Nico Williams confirmed will not available today because he was got injured but Gorka Guruzeta and Inaki Williams will play today and these players currently is on fire especially Gorka Guruzeta that in the last 4 matches he was scores 3 goals and for bet option i am confident Bilbao will going to win the match today and the bookmakers provide good odds for Bilbao @2.05
