La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Hirose UK]

Las Palmas managed to get an important win in the first match of the week, beating Atletico Madrid 2-1. After a bad start to the league, the hosts have recovered with wins in recent weeks and are already targeting the top of the league. After going winless in the first five weeks, the hosts have managed to win five times in the last seven weeks to increase their points tally to 17. I honestly didn't think Atletico Madrid would lose in this match, but the hosts managed to defeat their opponents with the right play, even if it wasn't Las Palmas.

Atlético interrupted their unbeaten streak and missed the opportunity to match points with Real Madrid. Well, this is a familiar situation for Atlético, when they come to the point where they have the opportunity to top the table, some kind of failure occurs. Las Palmas are not the strongest team, although they play very well at home. In any case, despite the loss, Atletico maintained a 3-point gap over Real.

I'm a little surprised by this result, because Atletico Madrid are in good shape and now they have to accept defeat from opponents who are not really strong. Their winning streak was stopped by Las Palmas this week. Not only that, I think Las Palmas deserved this victory with their good game. Atletico Madrid also played a good game, but when they got the chance they were deadlocked, and in the end they had to fall behind 2 goals from the host. Alvaro Morata who could create a goal in the 83rd minute could not save Atletico Madrid from defeat in this match.

In football matches surprises and unreasonable results happen more often and this is one of them, an example that proves that top team with sufficient strength can also be beaten by a lower middle class team.
Many people are interested in the Atletico Madrid vs Las Palmas match and make Atletico Madrid the favorite but they forget that this is match that is in favor of Las Palmas.
I sure many gamblers are trapped and suffer defeat because of today Atletico Madrid match.
2 - 1 was quite an embarrassing defeat because they only lost to fairly weak team.

What are your reasons for saying they managed to win the first game of the week? Do you know they worked for it and they've earned it, let me believe you did not see the game that's why you said they managed.
I saw the first half and how coordinated they was during that game. Atletico Madrid played poorly and I'm scared as hell of this is the performance they'll showcase during them next Champions League game.
The win wasn't shocking only of you analyze the game from the very beginning without sentiments.

Atletico Madrid attacking players have just been up ams going come rain come sun. Alvaro Morata the lone goal scorer and Antonio Griezmann have ll scored a total of ¹⁴ league goals.

If so, perhaps it would be more ideal for Mbappe to go to Madrid first, because wherever his position is and whether it is Vini, Bellingham or Rodrygo, the coach can definitely manage it well. What I want to show is just speculation if I personally see Mbappe, Bellingham and Vinicius occupying the front line and building attacks. Because in my opinion, whatever it is, it will be a devastating attack for the opponent. Regarding its comfort, it can be considered relatively an experiment in professional football.

Yes, because Mbaape's position is the same as Vinicius, there is a fear that Mbaape's arrival will shift Vinicius' position. But I agree with you that the arrival of Mbaape will probably make the coach think how they can be optimal and play together.
I'm sure coaches have a lot of options to optimize them. So there is no need to worry, they will add to Madrid's strength. Especially now that Real Madrid won the game against Barcelona. That makes me optimistic Madrid are one step better for the La Liga champions. Although there are still many matches.

Vinicius plays on the wing while Mbappe can be pushed into the middle in the position currently filled by Rodrygo so I think it is quite possible for Vini and Mbappe to play together.
Mbappe is a player who has very good qualities so in the front line he will not influence just one position, at PSG he was also often played as a center striker last season when he played with Messi and Neymar.

There must be someone will be sacrificed if mbappe is coming to the real madrid. Rodrygo may lose its position if mbappe will be coming to the real madrid.
The middle position is always being filled by rodrygo / joselu but this depends on what tactics used by ancellotti. Mbappe may not like to play from bench. he will always be included in the starting line up.
So, the correct compositions will be mbappe, bellingham and vini. These are complete attackers and i think real madrid is likely trying to make it happen.

But now what is the percentage for Mbappe to move to Real Madrid because this transfer drama has been going on for so long since last season that it has never been realized.

As long as he will be leaving from PSG for free and no reason for real madrid to reject him. Mbappe has very big valuation. Recruiting him with free agent has become a big benefit for real madrid.
PSG was valued him almost 200 millions int he past. Mbappe is one of most popular player in the world right now.

VINI, MBAPPE, BELLINGHAM. These guys will be the most amazing trident attack owned by real madrid.

@Velvet78, do you still remember our discussion about the odds in the Las Palmas - Atletico Madrid match?

Look at the results of the match now, in line with my expectations, there is something strange there, Atletico Madrid shouldn't get high odds otherwise something unexpected will happen. Even in this match, Las Palmas almost got a clean sheet if Morata didn't score at the end of the second half. I hope that people following our discussion yesterday follow my guidance not to bet on this match.

Yeah I remember our discussion about this topic. This kind of situations make me really indecisive about placing a bet on it or not. For example I still bet on Porto against Antwerp in the Champions League game and it won thankfully. I thought of doing the same for Atletico Madrid too first but it didn't make me comfortable later and I removed it.

But I must admit one thing here.    If Atletico Madrid weren't on a winning streak then I would have definitely added their win to my parlay. Because in that case I would have seen it like an opportunity as they would have also liked to recover from a bad form.

[X-ray]

But looking at the situation and the actual placement of players when Madrid is looking for Benzema and a pure striker in the center as a foundation Osimhen is the most suitable player because we know that Mbappe's position even though he can be used as a striker in the middle but the main position is a winger with his running speed but it seems that Mbappe is still a priority even if Osimhen becomes a pure striker but Mbappe can be much more practical, its just that with Vini and Rodrygo, indirectly if Mbappe is in Madrid he will indirectly have a new role. 

Therefore, if Mbappe is more comfortable playing as a winger, it means that Vini or Rodrygo will occupy the midfield. However, if you have to choose, it would be better if Bellingham is placed in the middle as a striker, Mbappe on the left, and Vinicius on the right might not be too bad to maximize attacks. Because for me the composition is quite good even though I'm not sure whether Vinicius can be optimal on the right side. That way Madrid can return to using the 4-4-3 formation as expected.

It has been clarified that the rumor about Real Madrid selling Rodrygo was unfounded, as he is currently extending his contract with the club. However, it is advisable for him to be proactive in light of Mbappe's potential transfer to Real Madrid. You're right if mbappe's real position was playing as a winger but this guy is also capable enough in playing as a striker. Ancellotti has so many tactics to maximize the potential of its players. Mbappe is good and he will be going to the real madrid.
Using 4-3-3 was a common formation of real madrid at this moment. Mbappe can also play differently anytime depending on what position that available for him. Getting mbappe will give a lot of benefits for madrid.

If Mbappe really joined Real Madrid, I think Ancelotti would already have a strategy and determined a composition that could enable Mbappe to play optimally. It is likely that Mbappe will be partnered with Vinicius because this is the best option. However, there is also the possibility that Mbappe will fill Bellingham's position, while Bellingham will play slightly behind them.

[Litzki1990]

I can't think of a good reason why Mbappe should fear any competition for individual awards. Whether it is against Bellingham or Haaland or Vinicius Junior, why should Mbappe hide? It is quite the contrary as going to Real Madrid would significantly raise his chances to finally win an individual award. it doesn't matter at which club he would be playing, being against Bellingham and Haaland will forever be a matter of fact and if he plays for a club that can't win the Champions League while Haaland and Bellingham do win the Champions League, I think he won't have a chance to win individual awards like the Ballon Ballon d’Or ever. This is why I consider it more of a necessity to go to Real Madrid more than anything else if his goal is to advance his legacy as a player also on the club level.

I share your opinion. Mbappe should seriously consider a move to Real Madrid, where he could have a better chance of winning major titles. Let's put aside the discussion about this year's Golden Ball, which Messi rightly deserves. However, if Mbappe had been representing Real Madrid instead of PSG, it might have made the Golden Ball race more exciting. Looking forward, I believe that Bellingham and Haaland will emerge as strong contenders for the Golden Ball alongside Mbappe.

Everyone thought that maybe Haaland would win this year's Ballon d'Or, but to everyone's surprise, Lionel Messi won this year's Ballon d'Or. Last season we saw Haaland perform brilliantly for Manchester City and win several tournament titles as well as Haaland contributed significantly to Manchester City winning the Champions League trophy, Haaland was a worthy contender for this year's Ballon d'Or. Lionel Messi's performance at club level was not good at all, maybe he was judged according to his World Cup performance, but France played in the World Cup final and Mbappé performed brilliantly in the final for France, but still he didn't win this year's Ballon d'Or. This may be Lionel Messi's last Ballon d'Or and the coming years may see stars like Mbappe Haaland win the Ballon d'Or.

It's so unfortunate for Atletico Madrid losing a golden chance to share the first place with Real Madrid and Girona. I almost placed a bet for Atlético that had good odds which was 1.8x approximately in the first half, as you saud it wasn't that hard match against a middle placed team in standings compared to them and their strength. What happened is Mocking the competitor since I don't believe that Las Palmas even in their own home can beat Atletico who managed to win against Real Madrid.
3 points in this situation are so important, Barcelona is only below them with one point and their match against them is close playing away with Barcelona for le it's a mission impossible for them to win and keep the gap.

The first half ended 0-0 with pressures coming in from both sides, second halve was quite different because Los Amarillos nets a goal in the early minutes after halftime break, giving Los Colchoneros more time to struggle but couldn't score due to the formidable defense wall formed. Los Colchoneros lost a must win game which would have boosted their performance to forward position on La Liga. Las Palmas was ever prepared to face Atletico Madrid who were not taking them toll serious precisely. Diego Simeone side lost due to their unbalanced level to defend their territory towards the home side.

The lost was a big one for Atletico Madrid, an opportunity that would have push them to the top of the league, I think Atletico Madrid never expected the game to be so tough for them. Atletico Madrid just need to work on their performance for up coming games if they want to secure first four positions of the league.  Atletico Madrid have so much done well in their performance and it will be too Disappointing if they fail to be able to accumulate points.

I really don't know what is happening with Atletico Madrid especially when they are in their best form in La Liga matches. It was surprising that they had to suffer defeat against Las Palmas who basically did not have a good form compared to Atletico Madrid.

Las Palmas are not too bad especially in the way they defend and build attacks, but Atletico Madrid are clearly favored due to the depth of their squad. Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid had to suffer defeat when they had the opportunity to lead the standings from Girona and Real Madrid, which was something that surprised many people.

Mbappé's move to Real Madrid is only vague, but the fact that Carlo Ancelotti is "expected" to leave the club at the end of the season is highly likely to happen. So, even if Mbappé arrives, it is unlikely that he will be coached by Carlo Ancelotti.
Real Madrid is Mbappé's favorite destination. And Los Blancos also understand that he is the superstar they desperately need. Mbappé is the perfect replacement for Benzema. If he moves, Mbappé will step on Vinicius's foot. However, Mpbappe can play in any position on the offensive line, from central striker to winger. The prospect of Mbappé and Vinicius working together on Real Madrid's attack in the future makes every defender tremble.

It was so suprising to see Atletico Madrid losing against Las Palmas when they could've easily won the game and get an opportunity to get same points with Realmadrid, even though Las Palmas got a home advantage in the game but got a better attacking and defence line and are doing better in the standings, well I feel they underestimated the home team and Las Palmas utilized their chances properly and that's why they won.

 If not for the consolation goal by Morata in the late minutes of the game Atletico Madrid would had lost 2-0  yesterday which would've been more embarrassing after having  a fine winning run I was even suprised to see that Las Palmas dominated the possession, though Atletico Madrid had more chances but they could create better chances to get a comeback and draw or win the game.

This is what makes it difficult for Atletico Madrid to compete in the LaLiga, they always waste points against teams that can be said to be weak, Atletico Madrid underestimate their opponents, they keep playing too late to get up, that's the result, if they want to equal points with Real Madrid, they end up falling. But when they face strong teams they are always serious, this team cannot be consistent every year. That's why I will always say that the only teams that are really serious about winning the league are Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even though currently Girona are still at the top of the standings, I'm sure they won't last long.

A painful defeat of course means they have to give up the possibility of becoming leaders together with Real Madrid and Girona. Congratulations Las Palmas played a great game.

[tusandii]

The match will start soon and the formation statistics that have been released can see how Manchester City will embarrass Bournemouth with a score of at least more than 3 goals that will be achieved in this match and I am quite sure that all of you will choose to bet on Manchester City, even the bookies will also Manchester City is the favorite because Haaland and Rodri will appear in this match to get 3 additional points to shift Tottenham's position and Arsenal will also be shifted because Newcastle will make it difficult for Arsenal to get 3 additional points.
It's time for Manchester City to continue chasing Tottenham's points to dominate again in the Premier League this season.

That loss was clearly unexpected and Atletico was about to really get back into the competition for the La Liga title if they had won this game. They have stabilized so well during the past weeks and I thought that they would at least not be threatened by a team like Las Palmas to lose all points. I think for top teams it is also normal to tie a game sometimes because not everything works out perfectly well every game, but losing this one is really bad for them and the run they had.

It is very surprising that Atletico Madrid, which has been consistent in the last six games played in La Liga, had to lose 3 important points after being defeated by Las Palmas. This defeat was very painful for Diego Simeone because he failed to match the points achieved by Real Madrid, who are at the top of the standings.
Agree with you, due to the ease of losing points to a team that could have been beaten, Atletico always finds it difficult to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the race for the title. It seems that Atletico's old illness has not healed, they always appear fierce when facing big teams. Real Madrid could have easily been beaten in the first meeting of the season, but they appeared soft against a small team that saw a number of points lost in vain.

Atletico Madrid wasted their best chance to match Real Madrid and Girona points tally at the top of the current standings, their progress is stuck in third place in the standings which is likely to be shifted by Barcelona. Las Palmas made Atletico helpless to get full points this time, Diego Simeone squad suffered their second defeat of the season in La Liga. Many were surprised by the result of the match which ended with a score of 2-1, Unexpectedly Las Palmas who were previously unseeded managed to win over Atletico.

On the one hand, it is true that Simeone squad is not truly consistent every season, their only way to win a trophy is only when Madrid and Barcelona are experiencing a decline in performance. After this defeat, they had to look at the next match in the UCL group phase against Celtic, if they underestimated the opposing club again they would lose their chance to qualify for the last 16.

[fzkto]

It's amazing to see that Girona are now in first place in La Liga provided the match against Osasuna isn't over yet. Both clubs have scored two goals each with 10 minutes left to play. If Girona wins, Real Madrid will have to win their next game to become top of the standings.

[jeha2015]

It is very surprising that Atletico Madrid, which has been consistent in the last six games played in La Liga, had to lose 3 important points after being defeated by Las Palmas. This defeat was very painful for Diego Simeone because he failed to match the points achieved by Real Madrid, who are at the top of the standings.

Real Madrid could have easily been beaten in the first meeting of the season, but they appeared soft against a small team that saw a number of points lost in vain.

You could say this was a painful defeat for Atletico, when they needed points, they wasted points. Atletico's play was very irregular, they won some games that seemed difficult for them but other times they lost against teams that had just been promoted.

On the other hand, Las Palmas is very strong, especially at home. Las Palmas have played a very good game since the league started. But they always need to give away more goals, in the last few games they have stepped it up and if they play really good football then the wins will come.
