La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Hvdv]

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.

If Lewandowski doesn't become good enough to be in the starting eleven then I assume we would see Felix playing in his position. I hope Xavi doesn't prefer Torres in the centre-forward position in that big game because it is meaningless. Felix is a natural striker while Torres is a natural winger.

I don't think Lewandowski's injury will keep him out for a long period of time, and even if he didn't return in time, I don't think Barcelona would have any problems this season because they have players who can fill Lewandowski's role. Felix can also fill that role, and I think Barcelona still has a winger who can make the team's performance look strong. before the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona The encounter will likely be quite difficult since I think Barcelona will be fully prepared.

I am unable to predict the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid because Real Madrid also has new players who can perform well this season and even help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona. Players like Bellingham and Arda Guler will play in that game, and I believe that they will help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona. Despite the fact that Barcelona is familiar with how to play Real Madrid in every game, I believe this season's matchup will be different because of the new players.

Lewandowski's situation is not the only thing for Xavi to be worried about it. Even if Lewandowski gets in the good form to play in the game against Real Madrid, still, Sergi Roberto is still injured in Barcelona during pieces of training and he can't play in the game against Athletic Bilbao I think Xavi will have harder days in the next weeks because of the injured player he got before the game against Real Madrid which an important match for them.

Injuries are a problem for many teams right now. There are the same problems for Real Madrid. Recovery from injuries is very important for both teams until El Classico between Barcelona and Real Madrid. In my opinion, Barcelona should find alternatives to Xavi, Lewandowski and Sergi Roberto.

Sociedad lost 2-1 away to Atletico Madrid last week, but now they face a weaker opponent. They will want to win this match and go to the Champions League in high spirits. Although they are heavily favored against their opponents, it is important to remember that this team drew 2-2 against Barcelona. I think they have the potential to give Sociedad a hard time. Mallorca, who have had no problem scoring goals in the last 4 weeks, can find goals in this match as well.

Although Mallorca's performance has improved recently and I have seen how they played against Barcelona and Valencia, I know that Real Sociedad is stronger than Mallorca, thus the meeting between the two teams will be difficult. I think it will be difficult for Real Sociedad to defeat Mallorca if Mallorca is able to draw Barcelona and Valencia. Personally, I think that match will end in a draw, but I can't say with certainty that Real Sociedad will prevail. Although Real Sociedad has been playing really well in the league and the Champions League, I'm still not sure if they can win Mallorca. Let's wait and see what transpires this weekend.

El Clasico matches are always difficult to predict, but every team playing at home probably has an advantage that can be exploited. Barcelona is playing at home, so they should be able to use their home advantage to win El Clasico.

No, playing at home can't guarantee the win. It is El Clasico, playing at home won't impact anything. If you learned the stats of El Clasico, there are many wins got from the team who played away. Playing at home sometimes gives a bigger pressure, so it influences the morale/mentality of the players, they can't enjoy the match.

Several of Barcelona's main players have not been convinced to appear in El Clasico, including Lewandowski, De Jong, Raphinha and Pedri. Real Madrid has superior squad depth if the 4 Barcelona players are declared absent, but Barcelona is a team that is also difficult to predict because their mentality is getting better.

Barcelona has 7 injured players, Real Madrid has 3 injured players. Sure, Real Madrid has the advantage, the have more available players. But the result can't be determined by this thing, the match still can be unpredictable. Sometimes, the substituted players can surprise everyone because they have more motivation to show their best to compete for the regular position on the lineup.

Jude Bellingham, the new wonderkid in Real Madrid have stated an open statement regarding how he has improved 100% in performance since joining Los Blancos this summer. He's more stationed as a versatile player that's capable of handling any roles given to him by the headcoach. He's regarded as the best signing in the transfer window this season, always available to contributes to the success of Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Carlo Ancelotti have really impacted a positive high quality on the englishman, besides he's still young but having him play in significant roles have made him an experience and balanced player.

After the game between England and Italy in which England won the game with a 3-1 result and Jude Bellingham had a good performance in that game, he said he is very happy in Real Madrid and he wants to play Real Madrid in the next 15-10 year because this is a team where he always wanted to play for them.
Jude Bellingham scored ten goals in ten games which is amazing for any palyer.

[GbitG]

Thankfully his injury wasn't a long term one, so I am assuming that him coming back shouldn't really take all that much of a long term, it could end up being ok on the first time he plays, doesn't seem like it has been long enough for him to lose that much shape, he could score right of the bat.

According to the schedule, El Classico will occur on October 28, there are still around 10 days left. Indeed, based on reports a few days ago, it is very likely that Lewandowski will be able to make a comeback during the El Classico match. This brings great hope for Barcelona to breathe a little easier. Because after all, Lewandowski's role is very important at Barcelona, especially on the attacking front.

Bro, that's the interesting point. Before your post, I was considering that Lawandoski would not be in El Clasico and would miss his play due to injury. But now you share the very informative news that Lawandoski will recover from his injury and get ready for a La Liga match against Real Madrid in El Clasico.
When Lewandowski is on your team sheet, no one could take the game easy every time he needs a little prefect pass, and he will pouched into the real Madrid net.
But anyway, there will be more interest in ElClasio after the return of Lawandoski, and now Barcelona will be playing with more confidence to get us the victory against Real Madrid.
So I think this El Classico will be won by Barcelona because they have more confidence than Real Madrid from the recent El Classico.

Although they are heavily favored against their opponents, it is important to remember that this team drew 2-2 against Barcelona. I think they have the potential to give Sociedad a hard time.

Mallorca has done nothing to improve its performance. It's consistently missing two points in any game. This club is only getting 8 points from all the matches played till now. I think that we shall be honest if mallorca has done nothing till this time.
I don't even see which improvements have already made by this club. Mallorca has done nothing. Sociedad is a strong one. mallorca will be struggling against sociedad. Sociedad is having more than good materials to beat mallorca. Its game play is focusing in giving a fast counter attack.

Mallorca can only play defensively against sociedad soon. No chance owned by mallorca to win the game without a miracle. Luck is one of the important factor that can help mallorca to steal points from sociedad.

The odds has represent the truth. Im all in sociedad caused by im feeling so confidence if sociedad will be winning the game against mallorca. Mallorca is not a club that will make me feel worry about that.
Im not thinking others will take mallorca as their bet in this match.

I guess that this is also what's going to happen. Real Madrid would never sell him if they don't have to and unless he turns into some greedy Mbappe kind of guy, I don't think he will ever consider leaving Real Madrid. Maybe towards the end of his career, but I think he knows that he has an amazing future ahead of him and he can become someone like Zidane in his prime for the whole club. Just think about the story this guy can write if he plays for Real Madrid for the next 1.5 decades and becomes better and more important to the team than he already is. His world class career has just begun.

I think this is one of the wisest decision Bellingham will make to remain in a league for a consecutively 10 years. That kind of consistency will help me a lot to stabilize and go a long way in the team. It will give the player the much needed control and experience to play with top La Liga club, Barcelona and other leagues, especially when it comes to the UCL.

I have the feeling that if he will position himself, he can do better than Cristiano Ronaldo  in terms of performance considering his age now and the records he's working towards with the team. Jude Bellingham is one of my most admired players of the year. He has done exceptionally well.

[slapper]

Real Sociedad has more dominating victory their last 5 matches but only won narrowly and it is not impossible that Mallorca will hold Real Sociedad to a draw in this match rather than accept defeat, they will try not to lose points and at least with a draw Mallorca will be satisfied with that result.
Therefore, it is difficult to predict this match even though Real Sociedad's chances are greater than Mallorca's, but it does not rule out the possibility that Mallorca will be able to hold on to a draw.

Real Soceidad will undoubtedly triumph over Mallorca in this encounter. Mallorca only drew once in their most recent head-to-head meeting with Real Soceidad, with Real Soceidad winning the remaining four games in their last five matches. I have no doubt that Real Soceidad will win this game. Although football can surprise us and go against what everyone predicts, there is still no chance of Mallorca winning while sitting in 15th place in the standings with 8 points in 9 matches since the start of the season.

To be honest, I've paid close attention to Real Sociedad, and they have a good record against Mallorca. Their head-to-head record tells us a lot about them statistically. Mallorca is having a tough time right now, and I can't help but be jealous of Real Sociedad's play. I agree with you; sport is always surprising. When I look at the numbers, though, it's hard to miss how different the two teams are. How has Mallorca been playing lately? Meh. Has Kubo been hitting a lot for Real Sociedad? Really cool. The odds are so bad that I really doubt that Mallorca could pull off a win

Firstly, Mallorca's performance has not been good this season. They have won only one out of 9 matches. And so naturally the favorite team in this match is Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad's performance has been somewhat erratic, but this team is strong. Sociedad's performance has been erratic due to their poor defence. And so I'd say Sociedad will be able to win against Mallorca if they can strengthen the defense a bit.
Sociedad's past record against Mallorca is very good. Mallorca's players will aim to draw the match. Because they are well aware of their weaknesses. Mallorca team's defense is very weak. They conceded 15 goals in 9 matches. It is very difficult to face a team like Real Sociedad with such a weak defense. And so I'd say unless Real Sociedad get too unlucky, they won't drop points in this match.

[Texac]

I'm hoping Robert Lewandoski returns speedily for Barcelona, they have lacked and missed his presence there in attack.

Xavi seems to expect too much from Lewandowski so that when he is injured or absent he doesn't have many substitute players who can replace important positions in the front line, problems like this should have been thought about long ago so that there is no chaos if something undesirable happens, Lewandowski's absence might reduce Barcelona's performance and made their attacking power not too sharp.

I think Xavi might have to be able to manage this problem so that it doesn't harm Barcelona too much, of course if they lose points it will make their chances of winning the title in Laliga even more difficult, especially in the UCL, but they seem to also confirm that Lewandowski will recover in time to face El Clasico too later. , I hope your wishes come true

The problem is Barcelona actually never had good players to replace the ones that are playing in the main squad. And Barcelona had to do a lot to bring in Robert Lewandowski in the first place. And being borderline broke, they cannot afford to bring in a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. They already are finding it hard to give the salary to the players that they already have.

If they bring in new players they will have a lot more trouble. That’s why they have not been able to bring in replacements for players. That is okay, especially considering the financial situation. But the problem they are going through right now was bound to happen sooner or later.

You have mentioned a few important problems here, but I would add one more problem, which you may or may not agree with. The transfer of Lewandowski  may have made sense for a season or two, but I think that Barcelona should have been more aware of his age. It can work out and a player plays his best at the age of 36 or 37, but in terms of realistic expectations Barcelona should have known that things can go South with him. Lewa is still good at scoring goals, but he is not as good as he used to be when he still played for Bayern. His scoring average went down significantly and I really don't think he can get there again. More injuries will make it harder for him to get back to his best level. Considering all circumstances I believe he was an expensive transfer. Now they lack a substitute as well and it's problematic because that's a problem that can't quickly be solved.

Considering all circumstances I believe he was an expensive transfer. Now they lack a substitute as well and it's problematic because that's a problem that can't quickly be solved.

45 million Euro, with 5 million Euro in potential add-ons, is not that expensive for a player like Robert Lewandowski. Buying him was a risk Barca was willing to take because he was still at his best in Bayern Munich. He is still dangerous upfront scoring goals for Barcelona but like you said age will be his major disadvantage. At this stage, he would be prone to injury which will take more time to heal when compared with younger players. Another issue is that Barca doesn't have the financial resources to buy more quality players that could create opportunities for him to score. Players like Lewi cannot create many opportunities but their experience is their major advantage. He knows where to be at the right time and is always clinical when a goalscoring opportunity comes. Sadly, I think his performance will continue to drop due to his age and Barca will have to seek other alternatives if they want to keep scoring goals.

I guess that this is also what's going to happen. Real Madrid would never sell him if they don't have to and unless he turns into some greedy Mbappe kind of guy, I don't think he will ever consider leaving Real Madrid. Maybe towards the end of his career, but I think he knows that he has an amazing future ahead of him and he can become someone like Zidane in his prime for the whole club. Just think about the story this guy can write if he plays for Real Madrid for the next 1.5 decades and becomes better and more important to the team than he already is. His world class career has just begun.

He would keep playing for Real Madrid as long as the condition of the club keeps favouring him. There is no certainty that he would keep enjoying his game there. As his performance keeps improving, Jude Bellingham will definitely ask for a review of his earnings. A change of coach or management can affect his stay in the club negatively. For now, the English youngster is having the best time of his career and he should enjoy the glamour and fame that comes with success. He is still young, so his days of success will endure for more years.

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.

From what I've heard, Lewandowski's injury is worse than expected. He's going to need at least a month off to get back in shape. So, the chances of him playing in the El Clasico match are pretty slim. Even if he does make it back, I doubt he'll be in top form right after recovering from an injury.

If Lewandowski doesn't become good enough to be in the starting eleven then I assume we would see Felix playing in his position. I hope Xavi doesn't prefer Torres in the centre-forward position in that big game because it is meaningless. Felix is a natural striker while Torres is a natural winger.

- Naturally, using Ferran Torres as a replacement for Lewandowski doesn't seem like the right move. Joao Felix is a potential candidate for that position, and there's also the intriguing element of Lamine Yamal in the mix.
- The situation regarding Lewandowski's injury has brought about a need for reevaluating the squad and considering how to fill the gap effectively. While Ferran Torres is a talented player, his style and strengths might not align with what Lewandowski brings to the team. This could disrupt the overall gameplay and balance.
- Joao Felix, on the other hand, offers a different skill set and might be better suited to adapt to the demands of the center forward role. His ability to link up play and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates could make him a valuable asset.
- Then there's Lamine Yamal, a young talent with enormous potential. While he's still somewhat of an enigma, his emergence could be a pleasant surprise. It's crucial to consider all available options before making any definitive decisions regarding the team's setup and strategy.

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.

When an elite team like Barcelona depend on just a main attacker, though they have other frontlines but they're mere backup and can't suit in the right positions. Robert Lewandowski might not have been in good form this season but there's a whole lot of things that have made the present Barca top striker, reluctant in Camp Nou. He's in the present of new signings and these players are optimistic about themselves and keen on good results. Lewandowski ensures he returns back to the team before El Clasico emerges, we know how important this game is for the Poland International, he ensured he's present for tougher games.

[Gaza13]

In the last five El Clasico matches, the home team is not always the winning team because in their last encounter, Barcelona won four and three of these wins were at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real Madrid won one, which was the Copa del Ray, at Camp Nou. This shows that the match is always unpredictable because your home may not favour you unless you played very well.

Yes, it is true that predictions will be difficult for all parties to guess, they are just guessing at their respective champions. This depends on the coach in fielding the best squad and there must be cohesion within the team. Indeed, if you look at the statistics for the 2023 meeting, Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona won 4 matches in various leagues. Copa League, Copa Del Rey etc. There are several Barcelona players who are injured, R Lewandowski and other players. Here the medical team pays attention to the condition of each player, if the player is fit, it is likely that Lewandowski will play in the match later. Moreover, competing later at home, this will provide additional encouragement for the team.

[Sakanwa]

Real Madrid's next game will be against Sevilla in which they really need to get the full three points from the game because if they fail the ar other teams they can take their place and I think the chance for Real Madrid in this game is much higher but the sad thing for Real Madrid is about this defender David Alaba, He got injured in the same against  Las Palma and the other defender in Real Madrid, Éder Militão is also injured and this can be a bit challenging for Anceltti to play against Sevilla but still, they safe option is to bet on Real Madrid for this match.

 

Real Madrid will win against Sevilla without even Alaba and Éder Milito, carvaja Camavinga Rudiger and Nacho are performing well in the defence, they will get three points against them before facing Barcelona in the camp nou, madrid are stronger than Sevilla i don't think it will be difficult for Real Madrid to defeat them next week, real madrid tough game he will be with Barcelona because barca are in good form but some of their key players are injured madrid will have the opportunity to defeat them, Ancelotti will do all in his power to win the La Liga trophy this season since his players are playing well, especially Bellingham, who is scoring goals in numerous matches and will help the team win many trophies this season. I don't think Lewandoski will win the Golding Boots this season since he is injured, and Bellingham has already passed him. I believe Bellingham will win this season because he is incredibly talented and skilled.

Previously I wanted to give you the news that Alaba will be available in the match against Sevilla and talking about Nacho, he will not play due to the red card he received in the match against Girona. Real Madrid currently has the defenders it needs and this time the central defender position will be filled by Rudiger and Alaba. If we look at the previous match when Real Madrid silenced Osasuna, Tchouameni replaced Alaba. Of course, Tchouameni will return to his original position as a defensive midfielder. So the Real Madrid squad is now complete and Ancelotti no longer needs to rotate his players to cover the gaps left by his players due to injuries. In the match against Sevilla, it is clear that 3 points will belong to Real Madrid and we all know that it is not a complicated matter.

I won't talk at length about the El Clasico match and the title race because both teams are quite disadvantaged by the absence of several injured players, so it will be quite difficult to predict who the winner will be. Bellingham and Lewandowski are two players in different positions and here Lewandowski actually still has enough opportunities to catch up on the lack of goals. The season is still long and anything can still happen.

Real Madrid are in a superb form,and even if Alaba does not play this game,they are still going to come out of the game with three points.But the good news is that the so called Alaba is set to return to action on time for this game which will be more boost for Madrid who are inform this season.There are Young players who are making names for themselves in the world,someone like Bellingham and Rodrigo are in the form of their lifes as they aim to lift the lalliga tittle ,and I think they have all it takes to be the champions this season.
Barcelona is another team trying to lift the trophy back to back,but I don't see that happening especially now that Madrid are on fire.However,we will wait to see how this game against Sevilla and Madrid will end.

Lewandowski ensures he returns back to the team before El Clasico emerges, we know how important this game is for the Poland International, he ensured he's present for tougher games.

Barcelona didn't have good backup for the main player especially striker. Lewandowski is the only good striker in the club. The blaugrana is also still facing a financial problem that will prevent this club in recruiting the new players.
Im not even sure if lewandowski will be trying to force himself to play against real madrid. I knew that if the match against madrid was very important but lewandowski potentially gets another injury.
Xavi needs to perform with available players at this moment to face real madrid in the best form this time. Madrid is also will try to revenge barcelona after it was always losing in the previous matches.

[Oluwa-btc]

Thankfully his injury wasn't a long term one, so I am assuming that him coming back shouldn't really take all that much of a long term, it could end up being ok on the first time he plays, doesn't seem like it has been long enough for him to lose that much shape, he could score right of the bat.

I saw some reports that said Lewandoski will be back before Barcelona's game against Donetsk. I don't know how true that is but I believe it's true. Lewandoski's injury wasn't a very serious one so he might miss only 2 games at most which are the Bilbao game their first leg against Donetsk.
Barcelona has players like Pedri, Yamal, and Balde coming back from injuries after the international break. Although players like Raphinha, Frenkie, and Lewandoski are still injured, this should be a consolation to them for the main time.

Lewandoski and Frenkie might come back before El Classico but then Frenkie would be rushed back which is not a very good thing for the kind of injury he has. It would be better if they lose the match than have a relapse in his recovery.

I would love to see these two back before that El Classico honestly. Robert Lewandoski to convert goal chances and Frankie De Jong to keep the balance alongside, Gavi and IIkay Gundogan I'm midfied.
I've watched games Barcelona play without Frankie De Jong and the difficulty they gave keeping controls and possession, having him before the El Classico would be such a good plus.

I've missed both Balde and Pedri. Yamal Lamine won't be a problem, he has a perfect replacement if he doesn't makes it up. Ferran Torres suits that right wing perfectly.

I think Real Sociedad's chances of winning this match are very big, especially since they are playing at home, and currently Real Sociedad's performance is very good and now Real Sociedad is in 6th place in the La Liga standings.
And Mallorca is a team that is clearly below Real Sociedad in terms of quality, so far Mallorca have only been able to win once in the 9 matches they have played.
So I have no doubts about Real Sociedad's victory in this match and I even predict that this will be an easy win for Real Sociedad.

It might be quite easy to win for Real Sociedad, but it might only be a very small score because of the results of the meetings between these two teams in several matches that have passed in previous seasons. Real Sociedad very rarely wins by a lot of scores against Mallorca and could even possibly draw if Mallorca is able to create a better game at home to Real Sociedad. However, I still have more confidence in Real Sociedad's performance in that match because Real Sociedad will not let Mallorca win or draw at the Reale Arena.

The small score is okay, the most important thing is that Real Sociedad gets all three points in the game. Real Sociedad has the upper hand of winning Mallorca because they are stronger than Mallorca and they will also the playing at home, which is an additional advantage for them.

Mallorca might try their best from stopping Real Sociedad from gaining all three point by drawing the match, and this is if Real Sociedad underestimate Mallorca, it might even become a win for Mallorca. I don't think is will be that easy for Mallorca to win but it is possible for a draw. I will place my bet on Real Sociedad because they are the strongest in this match.

Mallorca has been showing pretty mediocre performance in recent times. Having only one win in the last five matches is definitely not good enough.  But on the other hand Real Sociedad is in good form. At least compared to their opponent going into this match.  They have three wins in the last five matches and even though they actually lost the last match, I will say that they will have a better performance going into this match against Mallorca. Honestly, Real Sociedad has a chance to get further ahead on the points table. I actually want them to grab that opportunity and make sure that they get three points from this match.
