La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[marcous]

Apart from Bellingham, in my opinion the player most awaited to show his prowess under Madrid is Arda Guller, since his arrival he has immediately been faced with injuries so we are still waiting for his appearance with Madrid main squad. The high expectations of many people will be very important to prove immediately, because if you are young and cannot adapt well then being on the bench is always the least expected place.

So, do you think Arda Guller will suffer the same fate as Bellingham is currently experiencing? Because in terms of playing maturity, Bellingham is much more trustworthy. His experience at Dortmund is very important when it comes to being at Madrid. Every step a young player takes will always be considered to determine whether or not he is suitable for playing with a club as big as Madrid.

That's right, all Real Madrid fans are waiting for Arda Guler to recover from injury and make his debut for Los Blancos. It looks like this will happen soon if you see the news which says the player from Turkey has returned to training even though he is separated from the main squad.

Many people don't know the quality of Guler game and skills, what is certain is that Madrid doesn't recruit young players if they don't have potential. Although sometimes in the history of transfers of young players, Madrid often experiences failure and even looks like a fraudulent investment.

Mbappe would make Real Madrid reach another level if he joins them next summer. They have already been much stronger thanks to Bellingham addition. He is really unstoppable these days. I believe a trio of Mbappe - Vinicius Junior - Bellingham would be very deadly in the attacking line. But will this transfer really happen?

For now things are going on really bad for PSG side. They aren't much likely to be successful this season. They might not make it to next round in the Champions League and they can risk their title chance in the Ligue 1 with this game as well. These things all should affect Mbappe's decision to stay or leave.

Jude gives a truly amazing performance. He plays more mature and calm than a 19-year-old player. In addition, as he plays better every week, he is put under more pressure and marking by the opponent. If Bellingham gets injured, I'm sure Ancelotti will think hard about it. There is almost no player in the same position, even in La Liga, who can perform like him.

In his first season, Bellingham was extraordinary in being able to play with Madrid and knew very well how Madrid wanted to provide a place in the midfielder position. Not many young and new players brought to Madrid can be this good and able to score goals in every match. Bellingham will be an important asset for Madrid's future, we can see the great hopes that Ancelotti is trying to inherit because next season he will leave. But after that, I hope that Madrid's new coach will also have the same vision and views towards Bellingham.

Jude Bellingham is the best signing real madrid had for the season,  thanks to Ancelotti , it seems he already knew how important jude Bellingham will be to Real Madrid and no doubt since he started playing for Real Madrid he shows great performance in every game. Jude Bellingham performance in real madrid can prove that real madrid will perform better this season in laliga and in Champions league. But where Real Madrid will have problem is if Bellingham eventually develope injury,  it will set the performance of the team backwards, this can be the problem of Real Madrid this season.

But we also have to look at Girona's overall performance this season and last season, there has been a tremendous improvement in this team, apart from those who have not been able to compete or fight against strong La Liga teams, but for this season, what is Girona doing? is already good enough and they just need to maintain their consistency to remain at the top of the La Liga standings.

And in my opinion, Guler, who is highly respected by the media, makes him burdened and even the injuries that often haunt him make this player's career questionable. I don't think there should be too high expectations for this young player.

What is surprising about Girona is that they did so after only their second season since being promoted to La Liga last season. Girona lost 15 of 38 matches last season, the rest they won 13 matches and drew 10 times. Of course this is something special about them, but people still have doubts about their ability to maintain their performance.

So far Girona has achieved 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat and that is truly extraordinary. I'm sure they will decline as time goes by when other strong teams start to get their best performance. Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona and several other teams of course still have a greater chance of winning against Girona, so I'm not sure Girona will compete closely in the top 4.

Speculation and conspiracies regarding Mbappe going to Real Madrid have been going on for a long time, namely several seasons ago. But everything always ends with Mbappe staying at PSG. So everyone's hopes about Mbappe potentially going to Real Madrid are actually fading a little.
But I personally still hope Mbappe will go to Real Madrid in the end. Because I also imagine the same thing, namely Bellingham, Vini Jr and Mbappe together strengthening Real Madrid's front line would definitely be a very extraordinary thing.

But I read at the end of last August that Mbappe would sign a new contract at PSG until 2026 with a special Real Madrid clause. Even though Mbappe had previously officially rejected the offer of a contract extension there. But until now there seems to be no official news regarding a new contract. So the hope for Real Madrid to get Mbappe seems very big.

Bellingham will be an important asset for Madrid's future, we can see the great hopes that Ancelotti is trying to inherit because next season he will leave. But after that, I hope that Madrid's new coach will also have the same vision and views towards Bellingham.

Now that Jude Bellingham has impressed everyone, including fans of other clubs. It is more work for him to maintain this victories. More wins, more efforts, more responsibility. I was a little bit scared of his age as a very young player. I was thinking if that could be a little problem for him to strike a balance for the club. If Bellingham can consistently play on this pace, it will earn him more success in the future. Bellingham is naturally good but also zealous and will always put his energy on trainings.

It is so far, so good. And yes, Ancelotti needs more squad depth. A good substitute for Bellingham and more midfielders to support both the strikers and the defenders. I also like and enjoy the maturity being shown by Bellingham and his sportsmanship. His sprint is fair enough and he's got the strength to play a full match. Kudos to the Real Madrid.

It would be a good step if Real Madrid were able to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu and it is certain that the strength of their front line will be even more frightening for opponents. Mbappe has the ability to dribble and move the ball to outwit the opponent's defense. His presence can also have a positive effect on the team because there will be several players who are able to apply pressure besides scoring goals. So there will be a lot of empty space that can be utilized by Jude Belligham, Vinicius and other forward players, this strength will make Ancelotti's squad even more dangerous.

I really fully support your statement. It is true that Mbappe arrival will shake up La Liga and even competing with Barcelona will look very easy and certainly to win the glory of the title like when there were still Ronaldo and Benzema as I said before. of course Ancelotti is also more enthusiastic about achieving his goal of getting titles in all competitions in La Liga and in the UCL, but this is just our speculation and my concerns arose after there were rumors that Real madrid also had an alternative if they failed to bring in Mbappe or chose to get reliable player from the EPL Haaland and it will be more difficult because Haaland is currently still comfortable with his current team.

however, our hopes remain same and we want to see surprise that occurs when Mbappe confirm he will go to Real Madrid.

The transfer regarding Mbappe has been very protracted but that is normal because Mbappe is one of the best players in the world today.
If Real Madrid succeeds in getting Mbappe this summer, I think the Real Madrid team will not be stopped again, now Real Madrid's problem is just not being sharp on the front line and of course Mbappe is the most appropriate solution.

Yes, PSG's performance this season is very bad, and this is also a driving factor for Mbappe to want to immediately leave this team, because it is impossible for a player like Mbappe to want to stay in a team that has no potential to win like PSG.

Important player indeed but then what happens when you don't have a complete striker? The importance of one would be seen then. Madrid would need to make quick improvisation if they really want to scale though truly.
Not just Jude Bellingham, yes he as been supportive whenever you want him too, but you'll have to give credit to the entire squad of players.

Real Madrid don't complain for that, they have every possible player ready to play for the badge. Just as Camavinga can play for too many positions. Real Madrid will go far but they need replacement for Benzema immediately.

After the bad results Sevilla got in this season, they fired their coach even after winning the title in the Europa League with this team and all the good performances he had in that tournament. Because in La Liga, Sevilla was very disappointing.
Now Sevilla officially announced that they started working with Diego Alonso. He is a Uruguayan coach and his last experience is working in Uruguay's national team.

Sevilla have not been able to show the performance they expected in La Liga for 2 years. They were very lucky last year to become the European league champions, and this year they cannot perform fully even though they are in the Champions league. They are 14th in La Liga and this is a real problem. The person who needed to change was the coach and he did. Let's see what kind of performances will be in La Liga.

I don't think the Sevilla team is weak at all. If this team was weak, they  could not have won the Europa League last season. Their team is strong. The squad also has a lot  of talented players. Their  main problem is their match  strategy. I have seen several of their matches. Even when players perform well enough, they cannot win. Their match strategy is very poor. They cannot play well as a team.  Due to the bad match strategy,  the bond between the players has decreased further. If this  continues, the Sevilla management will decide to fire their coach in the next season. The  chances of the team being in the top 10 of the table this season is also low.

I don't believe they got such bad results just with match tactics. We also need to think about the players not being sufficient for success in La Liga. Better transfers are a must, but as far as I know, Sevilla is going through an economically difficult period. Because of this problem, they may not have been able to make the desired good transfers. I hope they can achieve success with the change of coach.

Don't forget that Sevilla won last season's Europa League title with this squad. So I can't accept that their squad is weak. The squad is strong enough. But Sevilla should be looking to strengthen their squad after last season's Europa League champions. But now the Sevilla team is not in a good financial  condition. So they failed to strengthen their squad. However, the squad that Sevilla still have is quite strong. At least not Sevilla's squad, which is weak enough to finish 14th in the table. If  not for the tactical weakness, this team could have easily finished in the top 8 of the table.

however, our hopes remain same and we want to see surprise that occurs when Mbappe confirm he will go to Real Madrid.

If they manage to sign Mbappe at the end of the season, then the coaching chair is no longer held by Ancelotti, because he will certainly join Brazil.
Yes, Mbappe's arrival would be a big deal for Real Madrid in particular and La Liga at large, this player would be on the list of players who would get a lot of talk in La Liga. But now he must first complete his responsibilities at Paris Saint Germain. And make no mistake not only Real Madrid will try to get his signature, but there will be competition there too.

What is surprising about Girona is that they did so after only their second season since being promoted to La Liga last season. Girona lost 15 of 38 matches last season, the rest they won 13 matches and drew 10 times. Of course this is something special about them, but people still have doubts about their ability to maintain their performance.

So far Girona has achieved 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat and that is truly extraordinary. I'm sure they will decline as time goes by when other strong teams start to get their best performance. Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona and several other teams of course still have a greater chance of winning against Girona, so I'm not sure Girona will compete closely in the top 4.

Its amazing achievement with Girona as second season in La Liga after promoting last two season and finish on 10th standings placed, have quit well performance in this season with second placed on current La Liga standings with 7 won, 1 draw and 1 loss with two points gap from Real Madrid on current standings placed. Current of 9 matches in La Liga Girona have faced Real Madrid, Sociedad and Sevilla as top La Liga teams with success achievement except have defeated by Real Madrid. For several upcoming matches later seems not bigger opponent teams for Girona and they will comfortable for securing second position standings behind 1 point left from Barcelona who have crucial match against Real Madrid few weeks later.
I believe with Girona consistency in this season and will finish on top fourth standings position of half season.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

I really fully support your statement. It is true that Mbappe arrival will shake up La Liga and even competing with Barcelona will look very easy and certainly to win the glory of the title like when there were still Ronaldo and Benzema as I said before. of course Ancelotti is also more enthusiastic about achieving his goal of getting titles in all competitions in La Liga and in the UCL, but this is just our speculation and my concerns arose after there were rumors that Real madrid also had an alternative if they failed to bring in Mbappe or chose to get reliable player from the EPL Haaland and it will be more difficult because Haaland is currently still comfortable with his current team.

however, our hopes remain same and we want to see surprise that occurs when Mbappe confirm he will go to Real Madrid.

Even though I am not a Real Madrid fan, I really hope that Real Madrid can bring in Mbappe, I really believe that Mbappe's arrival will make Real Madrid even stronger than before. Real Madrid's strength, which is increasingly difficult to match, will make Barcelona and Atletico Madrid even more obsessed with increasing their strength. The increasing strength of other clubs will make La Liga competition even more competitive. This season Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid even though they have not been able to bring in Mbappe, you cannot imagine how sharp Real Madrid will be after Mbappe is part of their squad.

[piebeyb]

Yes, Mbappe's arrival would be a big deal for Real Madrid in particular and La Liga at large, this player would be on the list of players who would get a lot of talk in La Liga. But now he must first complete his responsibilities at Paris Saint Germain. And make no mistake not only Real Madrid will try to get his signature, but there will be competition there too.

I think this news will continue to be hot at any time and we still don't know for sure whether Mbappe really has the desire to move to Madrid, while it's still just a rumor and almost all the media say that, we're still waiting for confirmation if Mbappe is indeed moving. going to Madrid will definitely make Madrid the club most respected by opponents because they have lots of talented and great young players.

But it's a shame if it's just a rumor, it might disappoint many parties including Madrid fans who are also hoping for his arrival soon, at least he can sharpen his attacking power on the front lines, especially Mbappe, maybe he can replace Benzema as a striker and it's certain that Madrid will be full of star players.

Not many young and new players brought to Madrid can be this good and able to score goals in every match.

If Bellingham can consistently play on this pace, it will earn him more success in the future. Bellingham is naturally good but also zealous and will always put his energy on trainings.

The hardest task to be done by ancellotti to find someone who was capable enough to be a backup for bellingham. That means if ancellotti needs to seek a new midfielder that can play in the versatile position. It's hard to find someone who can play as good as bellingham. At least someone who can very close to him.
Ancellotti needs to find someone from the big club to be used as a back up. Even though real madrid has so many great midfielders but there was no someone who has the same gameplay like bellingham.
It has become the problem for ancellotti to fix this problem. It's caused by we don't even know when bellingham will injury.

It is so far, so good. And yes, Ancelotti needs more squad depth. A good substitute for Bellingham and more midfielders to support both the strikers and the defenders. I also like and enjoy the maturity being shown by Bellingham and his sportsmanship. His sprint is fair enough and he's got the strength to play a full match. Kudos to the Real Madrid.

Real madrid has more than enough of midfielders that can support the striker but madrid lack of midfielder who can also play as an attacker as well. It needs time for ancellotti to find someone who can do that.
I think that ancellotti will not able to do that in a short time.

He is talented and he already proved it in Dortmund as well as with England in World Cup 2022. However I really believe even Real Madrid did not expect Jude to score so many goals like this. He is their best scorer now and his stats is more similar to a striker rather than a midfielder. It's lucky for Real Madrid as in a season they have problems with their strikers (Benzema left, Joselu has yet replaced Benzema too well), Jude appears as a very goal productive attacking midfielder for them.

You are right, Bellingham is a productive midfielder so far who I think is like a striker. Ancelotti will still play him as an attacking midfielder but in a different role, I mean Bellingham seems to play as a second striker instead of a center forward.

So far Bellingham has really been able to work well in carrying out his role. He has already scored 8 goals in 8 games, but I believe this statistic will increase as the League progresses. His good positioning and perfect finishing have placed him as the temporary top scorer. I hope his good form continues, but I don't necessarily expect him to score a goal in every game even if it's good.

They still have many star players in their team and you are right, their strength is not only from Jude Bellingham. If opponents focus too much on Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid can shift their attacking power to other players and their opponents will be beaten by other players, not by Jude Bellingham. To win a title, to beat Barcelona and win La Liga, they will need to adjust their tactics and avoid being dependent too much on Jude.

Ancelotti doesn't need to change formation in the El Clasico match against Barcelona, ​​that's not good in my opinion. Real Madrid just needs to prepare the best strategy to beat Barcelona this season, but there is always pressure during the match because Barcelona can also play in a different way against Real Madrid.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, Mbappe's arrival would be a big deal for Real Madrid in particular and La Liga at large, this player would be on the list of players who would get a lot of talk in La Liga. But now he must first complete his responsibilities at Paris Saint Germain. And make no mistake not only Real Madrid will try to get his signature, but there will be competition there too.

It's been said that Real Madrid is Mbappe's dream club, and when asked if he'd like to sign for Real Madrid, I think we already know what the answer is.
This is not the only time he has been rumored to join Rael Mdrid, but in recent seasons he has been widely rumored to join Real Madrid. Even in the previous season, he was one step away from being rumored to be joining Real Madrid, but a more tempting offer came from Paris Saint Germain which ultimately made Mbape prefer Paris to Spain. Even that caused Real Madrid supporters to talk about no longer targeting Mbappe.

After the bad results Sevilla got in this season, they fired their coach even after winning the title in the Europa League with this team and all the good performances he had in that tournament. Because in La Liga, Sevilla was very disappointing.
Now Sevilla officially announced that they started working with Diego Alonso. He is a Uruguayan coach and his last experience is working in Uruguay's national team.

Sevilla have not been able to show the performance they expected in La Liga for 2 years. They were very lucky last year to become the European league champions, and this year they cannot perform fully even though they are in the Champions league. They are 14th in La Liga and this is a real problem. The person who needed to change was the coach and he did. Let's see what kind of performances will be in La Liga.

That's what im thinking about. Sevilla won europa league was not due to strong club but it was caused by its luck to win it. Sevilla was not playing that good last season but the thing that surprised me if sevilla was able winning europa league.
The same performance will not able to be showed in UCL. The next target by sevilla to finish at the third place to get a spot in the europa league play off. Having new appointment means sevilla need to spare more attacks to rebuild the infrastructure.
Sevilla has sacked mendilibar and the club is now having diego alonso as a new coach. This is also the reason the team will not be able to play good in UCL this season.
Even though there are still enough matches to be qualified for UCL but i think sevilla needs to work even harder in adapting to the strategy that may be used by the new coach.
It's not surprised me to see how sevilla was sacking mendilibar easiy due to the poor performance showed by sevilla. I hope sevilla can repeat the same result again last season even though it depends on its luck.

[rendravolt]

Apart from Bellingham, in my opinion the player most awaited to show his prowess under Madrid is Arda Guller, since his arrival he has immediately been faced with injuries so we are still waiting for his appearance with Madrid main squad. The high expectations of many people will be very important to prove immediately, because if you are young and cannot adapt well then being on the bench is always the least expected place.

So, do you think Arda Guller will suffer the same fate as Bellingham is currently experiencing? Because in terms of playing maturity, Bellingham is much more trustworthy. His experience at Dortmund is very important when it comes to being at Madrid. Every step a young player takes will always be considered to determine whether or not he is suitable for playing with a club as big as Madrid.

That's right, all Real Madrid fans are waiting for Arda Guler to recover from injury and make his debut for Los Blancos. It looks like this will happen soon if you see the news which says the player from Turkey has returned to training even though he is separated from the main squad.

Many people don't know the quality of Guler game and skills, what is certain is that Madrid doesn't recruit young players if they don't have potential. Although sometimes in the history of transfers of young players, Madrid often experiences failure and even looks like a fraudulent investment.

It's true that Real Madrid are unlucky when recruiting young players and I think in Arda Guler's case it's not a matter of a decline in performance but indeed he hasn't even started making his debut with Real Madrid due to injury. Certainly no player wants this to happen and maybe this is just bad luck that Arda Guler is experiencing. When he was still playing for Fenerbahce, his skills were extraordinary for a child his age and it was no surprise that he was previously targeted by Barcelona because his style of play was really needed by Xavi at that time. But the decision is ultimately up to the player and Arda Guler has chosen Real Madrid in the summer. We'll see what his debut will be like and hope that his training goes well without any further injuries.

Yes, Yamal can play well for Barcelona, he can score goals, in my opinion Barcelona is weak when dealing with opponents who use a five-back formation, as demonstrated against Granada in yesterday's match with a draw Granada who came down with a five-back formation appearance. The hosts defended desperately from the attacks built by Xavi Hernandez's squad To be able to steal two goals, Granada only utilized lightning counterattacks The two goals they scored in this match came from these counterattacks. This weakness of Barcelona seems to be an open secret No need for a professional analyst, even ordinary soccer fans understand Barcelona's weaknesses, it all starts with the characteristics of Barcelona's game under Xavi, which is oriented towards ball possession in this match, Barcelona's ball possession can be very dominant.

Yes with the youngest players can play well, although Barcelona was unable to beat Granada but the results in that match made Barca's young star Lamine Yamal break the record in LaLiga even Barcelona is unbeaten to date.
In the match at Granada headquarters, Barca had to miss two goals first. Only then Yamal reversed through his goal in the 45th minute. and followed by Sergi Roberto breaking into Granada's goal with normal time remaining five minutes and ending in a draw with a final score of 2-2.

I agree with your opinion because it is a fact about Barcelona. Xavi and his strategy clearly has a weakness and that is when the opposing team focuses on defending at all costs. Granada and other weak teams often try this strategy to beat Barcelona or just make it difficult for Barcelona to win the match, but I believe such a strategy is not completely effective and according to what was planned when Barcelona played better.

In the match against Granada, Barcelona should have won the match if the referee confirmed Joao Felix's goal. But I don't know exactly how it was declared offside even though in fact Ferran didn't seem to make any significant effort and interfered when Cancelo found Felix on the left side of the pitch. Xavi needs to fix his defensive problems and they need to improve their concentration in attack, but I admit that Barcelona wasn't too bad in that game.

yep right, Barcelona is famous for its beautiful play and sudden attacks, but they are less than optimal in defense this is a problem for Barcelona with its deficiencies in defense, this reminds me of Carles Puyol Barcelona's best defender with his background Carles Puyol is a former Spanish national team player who is currently retired from the world of football used to play as a defender for the Spanish national team before retiring Carles Puyol only played for Barcelona. Xavi must find a defender like Carles Puyol who is able to play optimally with his role.

But on the front with the presence of Robert Lewandowski this has a big impact on Barcelona. even he thinks he can score a lot of goals for Barcelona, with Barcelona's current ranking they need to increase the maximum attack with Robert Lewandowski.
