La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Odusko]

The weekend for Real Madrid was a successful one and to a large extent, the club was able to recover from its previous shortcoming and able to go extra a 1 goal after they were even at a 1:1 throughout the first half.
But they managed to add another goal to make it 2:1 and beat the Barcelona squad in the weekend game, this is a big win for the club and their entire fans.

[Gaza13]

Usually derby matches are very difficult to predict, especially if it's Barcelona and Real Madrid. But I think that Madrid are stronger and better than Barcelona, although a lot may depend on the referee or penalties, red cards. But still I think Real Madrid will win.

Yes, I agree with you about all the Derby leagues. This is very difficult to predict because all the compositions of each line are quite good, here the role of the coach is how they see the match and see the movements of each opposing player who must be monitored in every minute of the match. And also see where the player is weak enough to be able to counterattack the opponent. The match went quite well in terms of the play of both sides, Real Madrid really deserved the result tonight, J. Bellingham showed good play and was united in his team. This player is in the spotlight because of his good performance while playing at Real Madrid.

Congratulations to Real Madrid for successfully winning the first El Clasico match this season.
To be honest I didn't expect Barcelona to lose at home today, but anyway it happened and it was hard to avoid. Barcelona had bad luck in this match because Real Madrid had 1 additional player who managed to keep themselves from conceding more than 1 goal, I mean that was the goal post.

Barcelona performed well from the first half and this could be seen from how organized their playing patterns were, both in building attacks and defending. Real Madrid who didn't give up found their best day after Bellingham broke the deadlock with a long range strike, it was great and I was surprised to see it. He is the best player in this El Clasico, he deserves respect.

Barcelona was unlucky in this time edition of El Clasico, congratulations should be given to Real Madrid, especially to Jude Bellingham. The final result of 2-1 for Los Blancos victory kept them at the top of the standings, and Barcelona is stuck in third place, which will most likely drop again if ATM wins over Alaves tomorrow. A very decisive week for Ancelotti squad was successfully completed with a win. On the other hand, we certainly shouldn't forget Girona, who are sticking closely to Madrid at the top with both collecting 28 points.

Regarding Bellingham, he now leads the list of temporary top scorers with 10 goals, the two goals he just netted against Ter Stegen confirmed his quality while bringing his team to 3 points. Xavi is certainly disappointed with this result, and there is no longer an unbeaten club in La Liga this season. Ancelotti has paid off his defeat from ATM by beating the Blaugrana.

[Slow death]

I confess that I didn't understand why the Barcelona coach didn't play with all the best players on the field at the beginning of the game? If Barcelona had started with Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, along with Jao Felix, I believe the result of this game would have been completely different, but as Barcelona's coach is looking at the long term, this long term will probably be having healthy players there. league and champions league at the same time, so today he preferred to play with a defensive strategy. This is because Barcelona's next games will also be more complicated in relation to Real Madrid's next games.

I believe that looking at the current Real Madrid team, they are not a very strong team, so even with this victory and a distance of 4 points, it is still no guarantee that they will be able to become champions of the league. But the next 3 rounds will be decisive, because all it takes is for Barcelona to lose in 2 more games and Real Madrid to win in 2 more games for the La Liga title to be decided in advance in favor of Real Madrid. The league has in common with the premier league that when a great team is very distant in relation to the other teams, then that team that is very distant becomes champion, it is difficult to reverse the scenario of a team with a distance of 10 points in relationship with the rest of the team

Now something that is still leaving me very surprised is that even though we are in round number 11, Girona is still in second place with the same points as Real Madrid. I don't know what happened to Girona that this season so far is having good results to the point of remaining in second position, that's something incredible. We'll see how many rounds they'll be able to maintain this good performance and what position they'll be in in another 5 rounds.

But they managed to add another goal to make it 2:1 and beat the Barcelona squad in the weekend game, this is a big win for the club and their entire fans.

At least, the previous overestimation about Bellingham was not it's useless, because Bellingham managed to score two goals in this match and in the end Real Madrid won the El Clasico match this time. After all, basically I am very confident about Real Madrid's quality at this moment but yes, considering the odds which are not completely in favor of Real Madrid. So then, I started to consider the luck factor for Barcelona a little and yes, the 1-0 result at half time made me think that Barcelona would win. But in reality it is not that easy, because Real Madrid clearly has a squad that also has good quality and a winning mentality so that Real Madrid managed to comeback to get three points in this match.

[BIT-BENDER]

Since Ronaldo and Messi left this has to be the worst la Liga match I have watched so far. I think the elclassico would always be a big game on the papers but in reality this game did not live up to the high expectations people had on it, it was an evenly distributed game no team really had the upper hand aside the fact that Barcelona created more chances that real Madrid in the first half and early in the second half aside that it was evenly matched game.

And yet again Jude Bellingham comes to the rescue for real Madrid he has really been the best player in the world this season for me, and today he also proved that he can score a cracker from outside the box to me he is the complete player every team needs right now

[bbigtart]

The second half was very difficult for Barcelona, Real Madrid's game was much more lively after Modric entered the field. The two goals scored by Bellingham meant that Barcelona had to accept a painful defeat in front of their supporters, especially since the Catalan team was leading 1-0 in the first half.
Bellingham has become a new idol in the Real Madrid team, his presence has had a positive impact which has helped Real Madrid with the goals he has scored. Even though his original position is not as a Striker, his goal productivity exceeds the goals scored by strikers. Real Madrid deserved this victory for their unyielding efforts even though they were behind at first.

Yes that's right. In the second half, Barcelona started to have difficulties, this was very different from the first half, they were more dominant in their attacks, Real Madrid in the first half seemed still confused when Barcelona attacked, many Real Madrid players panicked.
But after Camavinga and Luca Modric came on, Real Madrid's game became more attractive and the attack started to come alive. Of course for Jude this will be a historic El Clasico for him, because this is his first El Clasico and he has to score two goals. The first goal was very classy, Belingham's playing style was almost similar to Zidane's, the only difference was that Jude was a typical modern midfielder who could play in all positions, including scoring goals. So far Jude is also the top scorer.

Barcelona have been playing their home games in Estadio Olímpico for quite a while. Because Camp Nou is still being renovated and the construction of its new version with a capacity of 105k people is expected to be completed until the end of 2026. I see this as a disadvantage for Barcelona honestly as it would feel much more different until getting used to it. I remember Tottenham playing in Wembley for a while in the past.  

Anyway today they played an El Clasico here. I'm afraid it didn't finish in favour of them. Bellingham was clearly the star of the game with 2 goals. He did it again by scoring a late winner.  

Barcelona were actually good in the first half but they couldn't answer Real Madrid's huge effort in the second half. Lewandowski entered in the 61st minute but he was also ineffective just as Torres.

Barcelona could not take advantage of playing at home. He should have scored the second goal and played the match more calmly. Since they could not achieve this, things started to turn around for them in the second half.

The course of the match in El Clasico can change at any time. If a team that is ahead acts as if they have won the match, the result may end in a way they never expected. Real Madrid increased its influence in the game with the changes it made and managed to gain the upper hand despite being away. Bellingham's contribution to the team is tremendous. Scoring 2 goals in El Clasico is a great achievement.

There is no doubt that Barcelona performed well in the first half. However, Madrid's performance in the second half was very composed. And in the second half, Madrid's players stepped up their attack. Barcelona's defense collapsed because of this. Barcelona's overall gameplay in the second half seemed quite slow to me. Lelandowski and Rafinha were not in the starting XI. Because of this, Barcelona's gameplay was a bit slow. Madrid was lucky. Meanwhile, Bellingham single-handedly saved Madrid again. Vini and Rodrygo's performance was not good. Because of Bellingham's great performance, Madrid earned 3 points in this match and now they are 4 points ahead of Barcelona.

[Amphenomenon]

I said that Hey Jude will be the chant and it was indeed, Barca should have known already Madrid are more dangerous in the second half especially during match ending and today they showed why they are the galactic, though some Barca main players were injured while some was just getting back from injury their squad was strong but Madrid was the better team and I think in bernadette Madrid would still be the better team this season

[rahmad2nd]

Really cool, Real Madrid can make always surprise to score a goals in the last minutes. If Barcelona were able to survive until the last minute they would get one point, but it's a bad that Real Madrid destroyed them at Stadion Olimpiade Lluís Companys. The current performance of Real Madrid players is extraordinary, although I had doubts about that team, but now I will not doubt their performance. After all, Real Madrid still lead by Ancelotti, that great man always has a way to destroying his opponent's strategy. Congrats Ancelotti for 3 important points today, because the gaps are really close.

Jude Bellingham's kick is very cool, he is getting more mature in his game and has quite good shooting accuracy. Even though Bacelona lost, I'm quite happy they were able to put up a fight with their young players. If Barcelona played with its full squad, this match would add excitement to the El Calsico battle. Unfortunately, De Jong and Pedri had to be absent from this crucial match. and as I said in many posts leading up to this match before it started. if Xavi, has the potential to change his tactics and system. and it was proven, Xavi did not use a 4-3-3 formation pattern, but chose 3-4-2-1. slightly different from what Ancelotti uses, 4-1-3-2. It seems that Don Carlo already knows the strategy that Xavi Hernandez will carry out. This match went quite hard. winning first, Barcelona still did not relax their attacks.

In the second half, Real Madrid increased their attacking aggressiveness even more. Unfortunately, Xavi changed his pattern by withdrawing Torres and being replaced by Lewandowski. and finally, Bellingham equalized to 1-1 in the 66th minute. Instead of wanting to increase his attack power, IMO, Xavi made a substitution mistake. Also supposed to be, Gavi is in Lopez's position, and Lopez is in the midfielder. Also, Torres was not played, and his position was filled by Lamine Yamal. maybe, the situation would be different. Unfortunately, in the final minutes, Real Madrid sealed their victory when Bellingham scored another goal in the 90th minute+. As a result, Barcelona lost for the first time. plus, 4 points adrift of Madrid. Even so, Barcelona's chance is still wide open. After all, these two rivals still have many matches to complete until the end of the competition. and goes ups and downs, this is very likely to happen to both teams when playing match after match.

Barcelona really let this win slip and it will cost them a lot. They couldnt even hold on a few minutes and get at least a draw. With this win Real Madrid gets some important points and again they score in the last minutes of the game. They are really lucky and against Jude scores the goal in additional time. What a player!!

Jude Bellingham would now be referred to as the king of El Classico!

They Real Madrid struggled during the first half of the game. The introduction of Luka Modric and Camavinga changed the game for Real Madrid to enable them win the game.
Barcelona though came and to play to win but they couldn't get a draw out of the game.
I'm still backing Barcelona for the La Liga Championship, they should still win the competition at the end of the season. This is just a battle lost so they could win the war. They didn't play bad.

In terms of struggle, I don't think Real Madrid did much. Afterall, it's called the El Classico for a reason.
So far, Barca has always proved to be more dominant with possession of the ball, and the Ancelotti I know, would want to rely on the counter attack mostly when the Barca team is pressing.
It is just so funny to watch such an El Classico without Messi or Ronaldo.
Am glad also that Bellingham could prove his worth in a big match as this, not waiting for to shine only when Real Madrid meets a weaker counterpart.

Jude's goal at 90+2 saved Madrid a point and saved my 2.82 odds from being scorched
This is really good and I'm happy with this result because this is what I expected even though Barcelona also played very well in this match and Madrid was lucky that Barcelona's chances hit the bar twice in this match.
With this result Madrid returned to the top of the table despite only differing on goal difference from Girona but for Barcelona they must be willing to falter with a difference of 4 points now.
Of course this is also a blessing for Girona because they are lucky even though their position at the top of the standings is only a few hours today because Madrid has been displaced again.

Bellingham's last-minute goal gave Real Madrid the win. Real Madrid team has been able to maintain consistency this season due to the excellent performance of the midfielders. Bellingham scored both goals of the match and Luka Modrich assisted the second goal. Modrich, Bellingham, and Tuchouameni performed well. A good performance from the midfield players helped Madrid to win the match after Vini and Rodrygo did not play well. Madrid's attack is still quite weak. If Bellingham suffers an injury this season, I think Madrid's performance will deteriorate badly. Madrid's overall performance is now dependent on Bellingham.

[Weawant]

Barcelona could not take advantage of playing at home. He should have scored the second goal and played the match more calmly. Since they could not achieve this, things started to turn around for them in the second half.

The course of the match in El Clasico can change at any time. If a team that is ahead acts as if they have won the match, the result may end in a way they never expected. Real Madrid increased its influence in the game with the changes it made and managed to gain the upper hand despite being away. Bellingham's contribution to the team is tremendous. Scoring 2 goals in El Clasico is a great achievement.

Barcelona will really have to pay for this loss in the nearest future as they will have other team who were somehow scared of them now rebuild their confidence and think they could challenge Barcelona to a win, because they will think if Barcelona could loose at home after leading earlier it could mean they are gradually becoming weak but I hope Barcelona gets over this loss quick enough to fave others in the laliga and UCL with a sound mind.

Real Madrid so far has had a beautiful week winning their UCL game and now ending the week with another victory against a big team in the El clasico is really a week worth celebrating. Interestingly they won all these games playing away, definitely they will have their morale high up and ready for a New week to take on their opponents fearless I'm the next fixtures.

[Furious 7]

This will obviously be interesting because after all, the change in position in the standings is now different with Girona, who even today they were able to win with a narrow score and are temporarily at the top of the standings.
The match between Madrid and Barcelona will clearly be the difference because after all, the results that Madrid and Barcelona have received now have resulted in several shifts in the standings. But this is an advantage for Girona because regardless of the results received whether one of Barcelona and Madrid lose or maybe a draw at this time Girona will definitely benefit this week.

Real Madrid need a win to regain the lead, but if Real wins, they and Girona will be able to move slightly ahead of Barcelona, so Barcelona will try to win. For Girona, any outcome other than a Real victory would be preferable, because in this case they will stay on the top of the table.

Real Madrid - Barcelona, in addition to the fact that this is El Classico, this is also a very important match for both teams, in such matches there are almost always a lot of yellow cards, so although I don’t really like betting on statistics, today I think this is the kind of match when I can make exception. Picking a winner in this match seems like too much of a task.

Madrid won and got the 3 points at the end which Barcelona would have regretted and it showed in the faces of some of the players after the whistle blew to signal the end of the match.
But regardless of the result it was an el clasico worth watching. Both clubs played very well and with high tension and I really enjoyed today's match.
Gundogan's quick goal due to a miscommunication from some Madrid players and Jude's 2 goals in reply made my heart beat faster.

As for the standings as mentioned earlier, Girona were clearly very fortunate in this match because regardless of the result Girona now comfortably trail Madrid by 4 points from Barcelona in 3rd place.

One thing about Barcelona is that no matter how bad their team is they'll always want to dominate in a match based on their Pattern of football that requires them to hold the ball mostly,how their performance was very good today and I was very suprised they scored an early goal in today's match, because I felt Realmadrid had a better squad and would win the game, well they did but it took them until the second half to get a comeback and win Barcelona.

 Jude Bellingham is the hero of the game,once again he's rescued Madrid from losing a match, the equalizer goal was amazing what a good volley that suprised even the Barcelona keeper Ter Stegen he could do anything to Save the ball, after Bellingham's equalizer goal, Realmadrid had more confidence to press Barcelona and created chance for Jude Bellingham to score a brace, he's a very fantastic box to box midfielder and is always at the right place and at the right time to receive the ball and find space to put it into the net.
