La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Swordsoffreedom]

Bilbao - Almeria the only game from LaLiga today and even if at first look this game doesn't look appealing , I'm sure both teams will deliver a top football game as Almeria even if they are on the last place , they have 11 goals scored so I expect them to score tonight against Bilbao and even snatch 1 point from them.  

I bet Athletic for Bilbao today. I took the risk. Athletic Bilbao looks stronger than Almeria, but this team's performance is very erratic. The players of Bilbao are not able to maintain consistency even though they are in the sixth place in the points table. In the last 5 matches they won two, drew two and lost one match. But since the opponent is very weak, it is expected that Bilbao will get 3 points in today's home match.

Bilbao have won their last four matches against Almeria. Also the performance of Bilbao's forward players is quite good. Almeria's defense on the other hand is very weak. They have conceded 21 goals this season. Almeria has the weakest defense in La Liga. With such a poor defense it will be much more difficult to resist a team like Bilbao. Hopefully Bilbao will not disappoint me today.

[rendravolt]

Bilbao has odds @1.40 and it's clearly they are the favourite especially today they will facing weak team Almeria and we all know Almeria performance was very poor this season and their position even at the bottom of standings league because from 8 latest matches Almeria only able to gets 3 points and their defensive lines also is quite poor because from those matches Almeria have already to conceded 21 goals

An easy match for Bilbao and it's surely worthy if betting on Bilbao, my guess is the home team will likely win with a score of more than 2. As you said, Almeria defensive performance was really bad. Moreover, they are also playing an away game tonight, and previously in the away game Almeria were beaten by a big score when playing against Sevilla. So I think tonight will be their next nightmare, because Bilbao are also strong enough at home in front of their fans, and they won't disappoint.

It looks like your guess is starting to come to fruition and Bilbao is now ahead with 1 goal in the 10th minute. Maybe there will still be other goals scored considering that the match is still quite long. However, I hope that Bilbao will not be satisfied with this result and they must also be wary of Almeria's counterattack. I am also sure that Bilbao will win hands down in this match considering that their meetings are often characterized by the number of goals scored. Almeria are still slumped at the bottom of the standings with only collecting 3 points and it looks like in this away match they will return home without taking a single point. Through this match, Bilbao must secure full points to maintain its position in the top 4 this week.

The condition of the Real Madrid team is not very good. I think the coach of the team is very worried about the attacking side of the team. Because the team has seen great problems with the finisher in the attack. I think Barcelona will do great things in La Liga this season.

I admit that Real Madrid needs a quality striker, but the team is on a good run so I don't think your assumption is justified. Real Madrid won 7/8 La Liga matches, while Madrid also won 2/2 Champions League matches. So what you are saying now is not in accordance with the facts and cannot be justified.

Our rivals Barcelona are also in good shape to provide great competition. The La Liga competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will certainly be very exciting, but currently Real Madrid is still leading the La Liga standings until match day 8. So, you made me lol.

Bilbao should be able to win this match because I see them playing more aggressively and they are not giving their opponent any chance to equalize the game. Almeria was unable to take control of the match for few minutes and they gave Bilbao more chances to dominate the game. A great goal from Guruzeta put Bilbao on the lead on the 10th minutes of the game. Bilbao needs to score another goal to enable the seal up their victory or else it will be a challenge for them to gain all three points, if Lecce eventually equalize the goal. The first half is over and the second half will bring a lot of surprises in the game.
Athletic Bilba is winning with 1-0.

Madrid is the best when it comes to player scouting, they do not do that for short term purpose, they do that for long term and I do not see Lukaku as a good fit for Madrid.

Real Madrid always know well how to build their squad for a long time. They don't only build a squad for a short term target but they always plans for the future. That's why they are not afraid to lose Ronaldo, Ramos, or even Benzema when they are not in the ideal ages anymore. If they still keep Modric in the current squad, it is functioned to support the future players (young players). When they young squad have mature enough, I think Real Madrid will never consider to extend the contracts of old players like Modric anymore.

For Lukaku, there is no chance to sign him. Lukaku seems not strong enough to fill the position of Real Madrid main striker. And Real Madrid game style is probably not suitable for Lukaku, too. Also, Lukaku is no longer a young striker, Real Madrid targeted to sign a young striker.

The replacement for Benzema can not only be a single person, they just have not gotten the person yet so they are keeping fingers opened. Some are not happy letting Harry Kane joining Bayern Munich.

What do you mean by "a single person"?
Of course Real Madrid target some players to be the candidates for the replacement of Benzema.
However, Real Madrid seems to prioritize Mbappe. He looks to fit with Real Madrid game style. While for Harry Kane, he is an old player and may not fit with Real Madrid, too. Another reason, the transfer fees of Harry Kane was a bit expensive for a 30 years old striker.

[marcous]

Barcelona is the team with injury problem that can affect their goal scoring prowess. Their main striker Lewandoski is injured and may loose some important games for Barcelona. Real Madrid are doing well, they are better than last season, and I do not see their attack as one with problems. Rodrygo, Joselu, Vini are scoring when they have the chance to, and Bellingham who has very good goal scoring ability contributes to the attack of the team. Asides these players, Real Madrid still have other players who can score goals when there is the chance. Barcelona and Real Madrid will soon play against each other. It will be a good chance for the teams to show who is better.

El Clasico is scheduled to be held in Week 11 and currently La Liga is entering week 9. Statistically, currently Barcelona is still unbeaten, however they have lost 4 points because they drew two matches. Madrid met their first defeat of the season at home Atletico, and they lost 3 points in the match. The strength of the two teams is still difficult to predict, because before the El Clasico match, both Barcelona and Madrid still have three matches, two matches in La Liga and one UCL match, which is certain that many things can happen before the two meet on October 28.

Madrid and Barcelona situation cannot be separated from injury problems, most recently Barcelona lost Lewandowski who suffered an ankle injury, follow Raphinha, De Jong and Pedri who were previously admitted to the treatment room due to various injury problems. Madrid also experienced the same thing, maybe a little better than Barcelona, because only Courtois, Militao and Arda Guler were injured. If both clubs have full squads, El Clasico will be presented ideal this season.

Of course, El Clasico will be even greater if both teams have complete squads without any shortcomings. But compared to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid currently seems good enough to face El Clasico even though several of their defenders are still injured. Barcelona lost its best striker and midfielder, so it will make an impact on the team.

But since El Clasico will be played at the end of October, some changes in the players' fitness situation can still be expected. Both teams just have to avoid additional injuries due to a busy fixture list, so we're sure to get a great match for the first El Clasico of the season.

But it seems that Bilbao will not lose to Almeria. Currently the second half has entered the 60th minute. And Bilbao is still leading the match with a score of 1-0 due to their superiority (Athletic Bilbao). And Almeria seemed to really struggle throughout this match. They haven't had a good chance at all in this match. But Bilbao must not be careless in the slightest. Because usually the mistake made by the favored team is when they focus too much on attacking the opponent's defense area but they create gaps in their own defense and the opponent makes a counterattack which ends in a goal. I hope Bilbao wins this match. I'm betting quite a lot on this one.

Agreed, right now they don't need to spend anything for any player because situation is completely under control, and they can manage with these players for the good result until end of this season their current performance is more than expectations, and now we have last season for the Carlos Ancelotti so if things will be gone in positive note until end of this season then this could be impressive because in next season while they will be gone for the new coach then he needs players which he is like to join this club this could be more good and having better atmosphere in dressing room for the all.

Now in October they are not having any challenging match with hosting Osasuna and after the break they will visit Sevilla and Braga for the Champions League game at the end of the month they are going to have El Clásico against Barcelona, so things are in better shape for them for staying at the top of the league table.

The match has come to an end and Bilbao won 3-0 against Almeria and I wasn't surprise at this result. Dani Gracia scored the second goal on the 63rd minutes with a good header and Sancet scored the last goal to seal up his club victory on the 81st minutes of the game. The is a super victory or Bilbao as they are 17 points on the table and they sit on the fourth position on the table. Bilbao are quite amazing this night winning all three point from Almeria this night.

Lionel Messi could rejoin Barcelona on loan in January if Inter Miami fails to make the MLS play-offs:
Now, according to Spanish publication Sport, the La Liga side is making good moves to give Messi the right fit. Barcelona are ready to make a big move to sign Lionel Messi on loan to his boyhood club in January if Inter Miami fails to qualify for the MLS play-offs. Sport says no move has been discussed with Miami at the moment, but it is an option Barcelona is considering. Inter Miami is now five points out of the Eastern Conference playoff spot with three games to play in the regular season. Messi's team does not control its destiny. If Miami makes the post-season, it could mean MLS action will continue with Lionel until December 9, when the MLS Cup Final will take place.

This is a good new for Barcelona fans cause if Messi goes to Barcelona he would improve the clubs performance and help them to score more goals and well as securing the Laliga title to be honest a player as talented as Messi is not fit to be playing at the MLS for Inter Miami where there's not much competition, i believe he still has an unfinished business in European league and it's a good thing Barcelona wants to offer him a chance of coming back to the club to play good football.

 The partnership of Messi, Lewandowski, and João Félix would make a lot of sense and produce lots of goals for them this season, they'll be a threat to opposition teams and even stand a chance of winning the league title consecutively, it would be so nice to see Messi in a Barcelona shirt again.

I'm not sure if Messi can improve the performance of Barcelona. He is no longer in his best form, he is getting old and lost his speed although his skills is undoubtful. Messi also needs time to adapt with the current players of Barcelona. Barcelona current squad is not the same as the squad when he was a player of Barcelona. Even if Messi has no problem with the tactic used by Xavi, no guarantee that he will fit to play with Barcelona anymore due to many new players there.

I also doubt that Barcelona can pay his salary. Messi has a big salary, meanwhile Barcelona has a problem with their financial. Signing Messi will disrupt their financial stability. So, Barcelona needs to consider this first before they make an offer to sign Messi again.

The partnership of Messi, Lewandowski, and João Félix would make a lot of sense and produce lots of goals for them this season, they'll be a threat to opposition teams and even stand a chance of winning the league title consecutively, it would be so nice to see Messi in a Barcelona shirt again.

It is still your speculation, buddy. We don't know if Messi will fit to play together with Lewandowski and Felix. Don't be too optimistic if we still don't see him playing with Barcelona attackers for few matches. If Messi expects to play as a CF, he probably won't play together with Lewandowski.

Through this match, Bilbao must secure full points to maintain its position in the top 4 this week.

In the end, Bilbao can be able to get full points and they also didn't concede a single goal in this match. Currently, indeed their position now on the top 4 in the standings table, but we still have Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad. There is a possibility one of them could climb up and take over Bilbao position this week, but I think It's difficult for Sociedad because tomorrow they will play against Atletico Madrid. At Civitas Metropolitano Atletico should be able secure full points, but we'll see because anyway Sociedad also is not a weak team.

[Leviathan.007]

Ancelotti's best decision was to add Bellingham to the squad. He is a great midfielder now. And he can become a worthy replacement for Modrich. We probably won't see Modrich at Madrid next season. Because he is now 38 years old. Bellingham's consistent good performances have led Madrid to continue in La Liga and the Champions League. Madrid will face a big problem if Bellingham is out of the squad due to injury.

Modrić is getting old and that's a fact about the 38-year-old palyer even until this time he had a good performance to play at this age for a great team like Real Madrid in the important match they had so far. I think Ancelotti made a good decision, but even this good decision had some consequences, and because of his decision of Ancelotti Modrić is about to leave Real Madrid.

I'm not confident about this honestly. Because it is really difficult to believe in Messi to just let go of things he has in the USA right now. It is like Messi owns the MLS now considering what he was offered and given. He must be happy with his life in the United States. If he plans to play for at least a few more season before retirement then I think he would like to stay there more than one season.

But as for a return to Barcelona it would be possible in the future. I think he would like to have his jubilee at his old team Barcelona which he gave so many of his years in his career.

Barcelona's injuries are worse than Madrid's. With Vinicius back Madrid look stronger. Courtois got injured and Madrid got a replacement. If his injury had happened after the transfer window was closed Madrid would have been in trouble. Militao is the only injury that Madrid has right now that would be missed. Arda Guler has never played for Madrid so we can't say he would be missed.

Barcelona on the other hand have four out of six of their midfield and attack out injured. Pedri might be back before the classico but Lewy, Raphinha, and Frenkie might not be available.
I would have loved all players of both teams to be available so the Classico would be more interesting

Of course, El Clasico will be even greater if both teams have complete squads without any shortcomings. But compared to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid currently seems good enough to face El Clasico even though several of their defenders are still injured. Barcelona lost its best striker and midfielder, so it will make an impact on the team.

But since El Clasico will be played at the end of October, some changes in the players' fitness situation can still be expected. Both teams just have to avoid additional injuries due to a busy fixture list, so we're sure to get a great match for the first El Clasico of the season.

The likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid no longer possess the financial prowess to dominate the global football landscape. It appears that their financial strength is currently overshadowed by the resources of nearly five Premier League teams, although there are doubts about the sources of revenue in the league. The unwarranted bloated size of their squads cannot be rationalized and additionally hinders the effective management of proven players.

The cooperation of Messi and Lewandowski is worth looking forward to. Messi can do everything on the field and doesn't need to play as a central striker. I want to see him making assists at the feet of his teammates. As for Lewandowski, his scoring ability is also quite killer. Do you know how strong this duo will be?
If that is true, Barcelona fans and management will be satisfied. They should thank Inter Miami for facilitating them. As for Messi, I'm still determining what he will decide? Because this place has brought him many ups and downs.

[borovichok]

Ancelotti's best decision was to add Bellingham to the squad. He is a great midfielder now. And he can become a worthy replacement for Modrich. We probably won't see Modrich at Madrid next season. Because he is now 38 years old. Bellingham's consistent good performances have led Madrid to continue in La Liga and the Champions League. Madrid will face a big problem if Bellingham is out of the squad due to injury.

Real Madrid will lifts significant titles this season following their best performance. Carlo Ancelotti made an appropriate selection when he recruited Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund this summer; currently, Bellingham is the best signing of the season. He has delivered the club numerous times and has successfully assimilated to the team's game strategy. Jude Bellingham is seen as an ideal replacement for Luka Modric, however Modric is not allowed consistent minutes on the field because he has aged and obtained weaker bones to compete against strong opponents.
