La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[bitpotter]

Real Madrid have got even stronger rather than getting weaker. I must admit that I was also expecting Real Madrid to lose some power in the attacking line after not making a big striker transfer. But here we are now. We are witnessing Real Madrid having a better season than the previous one. Isn't this a solid improvement?

They are fighting for the La Liga together with Barcelona. On one hand they are doing pretty well in the Champions League with a start of 2 wins. They even beat Napoli away in a tough game most recently. Things are going fine for Real Madrid for now.

Everyone almost doubts Real Madrid this season because they don't have a striker like Benzema, especially with the failure in the previous season to win the league which naturally raises many questions about which player will continue to score goals. Even without a clear plan, Real Madrid are lucky to have a player like Bellingham who they brought in this summer but he is still a midfielder and no one has high expectations for him. However, most people's doubts were answered with his performance, which continued to score goals for Real Madrid until he became the current top scorer in the current league. It's true that currently everything is still going smoothly even for the champions league, but I hope they can start thinking about adding another striker later in the winter because Joselu looks like he will only be a cover during this season and will rarely be included in the line up.

Robert Lewandowski picked up an ankle injury in the Porto match in the Champions League. His return date is predicted to be October 26 for now. This is bad news for Barcelona as they will be deprived of one of their most important players. But thankfully they have made the Joao Felix transfer. He has been playing on the wing so far and doing a pretty decent job. Now there is an opportunity for Felix to show his skills in his main position which is the centre. I don't doubt him right now because of his high ambition.

In the meantime Lewandowski will miss 3 matches including a Champions League one considering that his return date won't change. Even two days after this date there is an El Clasico in the La Liga.

That's right, I read that official announcement from Barcelona moments before I quoted your post. Barcelona had to leave Lewandowski with a sprained foot, but he is expected to return sooner after the injury heals.

I don't know exactly how long Lewandowski will be out, but what is clear is that he will miss the away game against Granada. Meanwhile, Xavi certainly has no shortage of players to serve as a center forward. Ferran Torres may be a more suitable choice than Felix, but the two could swap positions on the left wing if needed.

Lewandowski sprains left ankle

Tests conducted this Thursday morning have revealed that Robert Lewandowski has sprained his left ankle and will be out of action until the injury heals.

The Polish striker was replaced by Ferran Torres after 34 minutes of Wednesday's 1-0 win over Porto. He has scored six goals and given four assists in his 10 appearances so far this season.

Injury is one major sad incidents that no player would wished to experience specifically when in good shape. Barcelona got hit this time, injury finally moved in the direction of Robert Lewandowski who's the top striker for the team, his absence in games will affects them majorly because he's always available to net goals for the team. Perhaps he have solid replacement, with the presence of the new player João Félix, this is his prime to exhibits the very best performance, proof to the fans about his incredible qualities and also enhancing the frontlines of the Blaugrana.

It's the Vinius effect. Real Madrid struggled a little when Vini got injured and with his return, there is some boost in the forward power, but this just goes to show that Real Madrid are an injury or two away from being a completely different team

If both Vini and Bellingham get sidelined, that when you will realize that Real Madrid need a good natural striker.

Vinicius surely has a big role in Real Madrid attacking line. When he got injured, Real Madrid has no other left winger that has the same level as him. That's why Real Madrid performance seems decreasing a bit. Although Real Madrid actually has an option (Brahim Diaz) but Ancelotti seems not really like this player. I don't know what the reason is, but it is very unfortunate to see Brahim Diaz situation in Real Madrid.

If both Vini and Bellingham get sidelined, that when you will realize that Real Madrid need a good natural striker.

Although there is Vinicius-Rodrygo-Bellingham, surely Real Madrid still needs a strong player in the position of pure striker (CF). Osimhen and Mbappe are the best options for that position.  

[Sakanwa]

agree with your opinion It is true that Real Madrid was the better team in last night's match, and Bellingham's performance should be appreciated. His impressive performance, even though he is a new player on the team, shows the great potential he has.
and of course Napoli's new coach needs time to influence the team optimally. Sometimes, adapting the best players from previous seasons can be a challenge,

Real Madrid's match with Napoli actually both looked impressive in terms of possession of the ball even though Real Madrid had taken the lead early in the first half and in the second half Real Madrid greatly benefited from an own goal from a Napoli player, making Real Madrid win the match. In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been ahead of its rivals and is in first place after beating Girona at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi without reply.

It is true that Real Madrid are quite impressive after the signing of Jude Bellingham. They get the extra bost in the attack position. After the departure of Kareem Banzema and the absence of Vinices Junior due to injury a bit earlier, Real Madrid were lacking in attack due to the loss of their key players, but when Jude Bellingham arrived, he covered up all the shortcomings in attack position with quite an impressive and dominating performance. Jude Bellingham is one of the greatest players in the young generation. He has so many qualities and needs time to prove himself. It will be very good for Real Madrid to keep him for the long term by making his club loyalty long-lived because, currently, Jude Bellingham is the only player whose performance really meets the requirements of real Madrid performance.
In my opinion, Jude Bellingham's signing will be a blockbuster like Cristiano Ronaldo's because he is so young and has the ability to win more trophies. Be it individual or club-wise,

It is no secrete that Jude Bellingham has been an exceptional player for Team Madrid since his arrival,he has really been able to make real Madrid forget the fact that they lose Karim Benzema with his superb performances day in day out.Bellingham is a very sharp young kid that has the experience that is required to be at the top.He is currently either the second or best young footballer in Europe.Saka of Arsenal should either be the first because Considering their stats last season,Saka was almost the best.The two players are on the same level at the moment.In 10 appearances for Arsenal this season,Saka have scored five and assisted five,while Ballingham has a scored about 6 with six man of the man awards.They are two best young players in Europe at the moment.

Lewandowski is an important player for Barcelona so that when he gets injured it will have significant impact on the team progress for some time to come some reports state that he could return at the end of October but there are also several rumors stating that Lewandowski has an ankle injury which may be severe enough to require a longer recovery period.
When Lewandowski really suffers fatal injury, Xavi will find it a little difficult to find replacement for the position left by Lewandowski because until now there is no player who can be comparable to him in the Barcelona squad.

Our hope Barcelona fans is that Lewandowski can recover quickly and be able to take part in the next match even though he has to miss the next 3 matches.

There is no experienced striker in Real Madrid's squad. Vini is now their  main striker . But I would say don't have  high hopes for Vini. Vini is a talented player it's true . But so far Vini has not been able to prove  himself as a regular scorer. Last season he played in 33 La Liga matches, scoring just 10 goals and  assisting 5. Rodrygo, another Madrid striker, is in a similar situation.  So I don't think Madrid's performance will go to another level now that Vini is back from injury . Real Madrid will still be dependent on the performance of their midfielders. Madrid's performance  will depend on Bellingham-Kross-Modrich's performance.

Yeah I can only imagine this Madrid squad without Vinni and Bellingham, it will be very disastrous because with Vinni in their game, the boldness at which they attack the goal is just certainly different Although I know this Madrid team is filled with great players but in all I would definitely class Vinni to be different because if the impact he brings to the team.

[nurilham]

There is Joselu, he is an experienced striker. But he is just proven in La Liga, he isn't proven for UCL. Joselu is also still not in the level of striker that Real Madrid needs.

Vini is now their  main striker . But I would say don't have  high hopes for Vini. Vini is a talented player it's true . But so far Vini has not been able to prove  himself as a regular scorer. Last season he played in 33 La Liga matches, scoring just 10 goals and  assisting 5. Rodrygo, another Madrid striker, is in a similar situation.

Both Vini and Rodrygo aren't strikers, they are attackers in the positions as wingers. I assume a striker means a center forward (CF).
Agree. These players are very talented, they have great speeds and the ability in dribbling. But they are not a machine goal that can make score constantly.

I don't think Madrid's performance will go to another level now that Vini is back from injury . Real Madrid will still be dependent on the performance of their midfielders. Madrid's performance  will depend on Bellingham-Kross-Modrich's performance.

Real Madrid just relies on Bellingham. It will be difficult if Real Madrid expects the goals from the midfielders. Bellingham and other midfielders don't have a special ability in scoring, it is a special ability of a striker or a winger.

Yes I am not surprised at the result recorded by Real Madrid after the return of one of the big player from injury and to a great extent the outcome has changed a lot of wrong perceptions that fans were beginning to have towards the club due to their recent poor performance in the leagues but them now that the player has returned from the injury,  the result we are seeing is what is expected and a big boost to what we can expect in the coming weeks and legs in this round of the tournament.

Real Madrid has a track record of great performance in the last few seasons back,  and the departure of Benzema and Vinius whose both efforts and presence in Real Madrid have changed a whole lot in previous matches so now that the player is back from injury,  it means we should watch out for some exciting time for Real Madrid.

Vini Jnr is a star player for Realmadrid and most teams tend to suffer for while when they lose their star players to injury however Realmadrid managed to survive in the league without Vini Jnr based on the fact that they got other quality players they could rely on but their performance reduced and winning some matches was quite tough for them cause they lacked a player that could fit into Vini's rile perfectly.

 However since his arrival they've been very successful and are finding it more  easy to win games, Vinicius Junior is very skillful and contributes alot to the teams success, therefore his teammates would be very happy to have him back into the squad,  especially Jude Bellingham cause he'll help reduce the pressure of scoring goals that's on him currently.

Undoubtedly, Vinicius Jnr is a very important member of the Real Madrid squad and since his return from action after being sidelined with injury, he has helped improved the club's performance both in the Spanish La Liga as well as in the UEFA Champions League competition. The Brazilian without doubt is one of the best wingers in Europe at the moment.
However while he was away, Real Madrid were also winning their games because of the fact that Jude Bellingham has been on fire for the club since the start of the season. The England international has been more influential to Real Madrid's impressive results than any other person on the club since the start if the season.

One area they need to address is in attack by bringing in a good striker, that's one area where they're not quite there yet. If only they had a good striker this season, it would make them even stronger. Logicaly when they don't have a striker to rely on they are already solid, especially when they have one.
I'm just worried that when their current goal-scoring player is unavailable due to certain factors, it will make it difficult because there are no other plyers, especially strikers who can break the deadlock they face for example.

Of course, without reliable players who can scored, Real Madrid will have difficulty to get full points in all competitions. Although currently the depth of Real Madrid squad is not too bad, but performance of the second tier players is always unstable. I mean sometimes they have good performance when played, but not always good. Ancelotti will be very confused if Real Madrid reliable player is unavailable because that is key for Real Madrid victory so far.

The return of vini is a thing of joy for Madrid as they have managed to struggle through other games in his absence, but now it going to seem like the struggling days are over as the man for the position is back, maybe this was the reason the strike force of Madrid for once looked like it was very sick and needed replacement, but no I think there will be no need for that.

Vini seems to be the best striker Madrid have but then it's obvious he isn't reliable as he is now an injury prone player, even before the injury he was that outstanding in performance but then he was just fit for the strike force as he was able to score a few goals but then he needs to improve his goal scoring skill as it's needed to help the team as that has been what they lacked the most.

One main purpose the return of vino will definitely serve will be a morale boost for the front line as they can be sure to get goals after making the moves and giving the necessary assist needed and required of them. I hope to see the team perform better than they have done in the past few games, in their next UCL game I hope he will be playing and will definitely deliver them.

Vinicius Junior is a big name, a big threat whenever defenders see's him approaching, I do not doubt his capacity but Vinicius Junior without a concrete number nine is not complete.
Did you get to watch his combination with Karim Benzema, that's the missing ingredients in that soup Real Madrid is trying to cook. Folks rate Joselu, ( though I don't doubt he's been a good fighter for the club ) but he can't lead Real Madrid.

Having great midfielder's and a great defense/ defenders would not be completed without a perfect replacement for Karim Benzema.
The season has a long way to go, I'm counting how many league goals Joselu can achieve.

[red4slash]

Of course, without reliable players who can scored, Real Madrid will have difficulty to get full points in all competitions.

Madrid can still score goals and their goal productivity is good, which means they have players to rely on in the current situation.
We're too worried about them not having a pure striker which makes us sceptical although with their current form I think they're still pretty good it's just that there are doubts when there's no pure striker because one of the cornerstones that Madrid always do when Benzema is in the squad is to put pressure as if Madrid aren't playing well but so far they've been very good.

We can't be naive because it would be better if Madrid had a pure striker because it would add to their aggressiveness but for now they're doing well and they're not thinking too much about that because if they want to try and bring in new players they'll have to wait until the winter transfer window opens.

[Leviathan.007]

Real Madrid is going to face Osasuna soon in La Liga and since they are in the first place of the table and they have a close race with Barcelona, it's very important for them to win the game against Osasuna and take the three points from this match but the bad news for David Alaba before this game is about their palyer, David Alaba, he got injured recently and there I the chance for him to miss this game but hopefully he could train with other players. But still hard to say Real Madrid is going to lose points in that game.

If both Vini and Bellingham get sidelined, that when you will realize that Real Madrid need a good natural striker.

Real Madrid is always dependent on several other team members; when some of its players are injured, they should continue to play well and continue to give their best contribution to make Real Madrid win. Real Madrid already has a pretty good striker, but the teamwork is still lacking, making it difficult to win.
