La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Velvet78]

For the upcoming games of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid I can say that I'm confident about the first and last one to win. However I'm not confident about Barcelona as much as them in their next game. Because it is an away game against Vallecano. Barcelona lost to them 3 times and got a draw in their last 4 head-to-head games in the La Liga.

Vallecano are holding a psychological advantage in hand because of that. In addition to that Real Madrid couldn't do better than drawing with Vallecano not long ago as well. Combining all of this it seems a little risky to bet on Barcelona here.

As far as I know they didn't offer him enough money, or maybe it was a lot of money, but not enough for him. The king Sergio Ramos deserves more he thinks. I think he was offered 20 million per year from Al-Ittihad and I think he felt insulted because Benzema went there and is earning more than 10x of what was offered to him. But yes his performance has been on a decline for a while now and it is good to see when his career will end soon. I think he is a risk to other players' health, he has always been and good to see him finish his career.

In my opinion, he has been a good addition to the Sevilla squad. Just because he made one mistake which caused them to lose a match, should not mean that we have to say he has not done anything for the team. I think he is still a very capable player. It is just that he is quite old right now. That's why it is definitely hard for him to go at the same speed throughout the whole 90 minutes. And yes, I agree that he is probably not best suited for the greatest level of competition. But the way his team is doing right now, I don't think he is actually worse than any other player that could have played in place of him.

It is "just" that he is quite old right now is one of the reasons, if not the only reason, why professional football players have to stop their career. He is still able to play a few games, sure, but I would not be said if he disappears from the pitch. I have never been a fan of players who risk the health and career of others. Pepe, Ramos are two of those guys. I can't see the value in injuring other players who also love their own career. How many braindead tackles and serious attacks do these two players have to their names? It is ridiculous and if it wasn't for those who got attacked to save themselves, we would have seen a lot more broken ankles and legs. Some call that a "hard defender". I call that dumb.

Vallecano are holding a psychological advantage in hand because of that. In addition to that Real Madrid couldn't do better than drawing with Vallecano not long ago as well. Combining all of this it seems a little risky to bet on Barcelona here. 

Yes, maybe Gavi's injury will have a big effect on Barcelona. They rely on Gavi in the middle and he always featured in the first 11 players (starting eleven). Maybe Xavi should think about starting to look for new players because I got the news that Gavi will take a long time to heal. Historically, Barca have always struggled against Rayo, but that's just a statistic. There is always a miracle before the game is over. Barcelona might be able to bring home 1 point.

[QueenVera]

Girona is doing everything they can to win the season title, but I don't think Real Madrid and Barcelona will let that happen. I know that many of Real Madrid's talented players are injured, but I don't think that will stop Real Madrid from performing well. Real Madrid will continue to perform well because players like Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are still around. Despite their advanced age, these two players are still better than some of the world's young players. Jude Bellingham will play in every game that real Madrid plays because he is healthy again. Additionally, real Madrid has players like Rodrigo, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz who will play attacking positions.

In all honesty, these international matches are allowing a team to lose players. Girona will want to take advantage of real Madrid and Barcelona losing some of their players to win the league title, but I don't think that will happen because they will soon face a team that will defeat them. Not only will Barcelona face player problems, but real Madrid will as well. I heard that Gavi sustained a serious injury in yesterday's match.

Girona this season have been optimistic and determined to be in that top spot of the La Liga standings. They've been securing wins with good goal margins and making it all seem so easy. Will Real Madrid or Barcelona be pushed behind and subdued? I don't think so, Real Madrid alone has players fit enough for any encounter, they're doing really well for themselves, there's positivity in the team and majorly, they've been victorious many times.

 For Barcelona, although they are experiencing some mild defaults yet still, they still will pose a threat to Girona, they can do their best to stay out on the top 4 spot but to win the league, the probability is way less than average, not to mock them though because football is an unpredictable game, but they still know that Real Madrid especially won't make it so easy for them. We await the final season result and standings.

Vallecano are holding a psychological advantage in hand because of that. In addition to that Real Madrid couldn't do better than drawing with Vallecano not long ago as well. Combining all of this it seems a little risky to bet on Barcelona here.

Historically, Barca have always struggled against Rayo, but that's just a statistic. There is always a miracle before the game is over. Barcelona might be able to bring home 1 point.

Yes Gavi suffered a long injury is expected to be absent for 7 months and even a total of up to 9 months, so this will miss the Euro 2024 event. It is unfortunate that this was never expected but still Barcelona suffered a setback when their main player had to be injured for a long time.

Xavi can look for options in the transfer window later or there are several players who replace Gavi's position, I think indeed several players can still be relied on by Xavi.
It's not an accident that Barcelona are statistically ahead of Rayo even though their H2H is more difficult because it's an away game so of course we're thinking about two possibilities in this match.

Girona will face Athletic, Real Madrid will visit Cadiz's headquarters and Barcelona will face Rayo Vallecano on matchday 14. These three matches will be decisive and quite important for Real Madrid and Barcelona to win these matches. Because in the other match, Girona will face Athletic, who so far have also been quite productive in scoring goals, even though in the last five matches they have only experienced one defeat against Barcelona with a narrow score. Girona will have a much more difficult match than their two rivals and of course winning will be quite important for them.

My prediction is that Girona and Barcelona will experience a draw in this match because the opponents they face are also quite even. Even looking at the last five matches, the opponents Barcelona faced were less consistent and lost to Girona in the last match. Real Madrid will take a big advantage if their two rivals experience a draw because Real Madrid faces lighter teams this week so it will be easy for them to get the three points.

This current international break has been one of the worst for big players of different clubs as the reports of injuries has been numerous. A lot of first team players of the big European clubs has picked up injury in this international break and it's definitely gonna affect the performance of affected clubs.
Gavi has been one of the best players (if not the best player) of Barcelona since the start of the season and surely his injury which the duration hasn't been announced is gonna be a big blow to Xavi Hernandez's teams. His injury adds to the series of Barcelona players that are currently sidelined as a result of injury

True, there have been many players injured. Even some were also facing serious injury that forced them to absent from the league till the end of season. It was cost the club a lot. This is why some players used injury as an excuse to avoid the international break.
Losing one of important players will be greatly affecting the performance from the club. You can imagine if club was losing a guy who has most contribution to the club.
This is a disaster for the club. It's casued by you can't even guarantee that if the second player will able to show the same performance like him.

[LGD2Business]

Gavi's injury is really sad. He will have surgery and the season is closed for him, there is even a possibility of missing Euro 2024. It's very depressing for a young player to be away from the field for almost a year. Some Real Madrid fans were very happy with this news. Barcelona's chances of becoming champions are very high even without Gavi. It was a significant loss but Xavi will create his game plan without him. I hope he recovers faster than expected and Gavi returns to the green fields as soon as possible.

[Oluwa-btc]

Vinicius Jr injury problem is a serious issue to real madrid because Vinicius is a key player in Real Madrid and it can affect the team of achieving. My fear for Real Madrid is that bellingham which everyone is looking up to nothing happens to him, because if anything happens to him I don't think Real Madrid will be able to get the title this season.

If Real Madrid would have been able to get the perfect replacement for Benzema it would have really be a help to the team, and Vinicius Jr this season have not really been stable this season due to injuries,  I think this season can end up to be a difficult season for Real Madrid. Girona and Barcelona will take Real Madrid challenge as an opportunity to grab the championship this season.

He was just beginning to score goals for Real Madrid after his return from Injury and he's back injured again. Real Madrid will miss him with the league going tougher.
Jude Bellingham seems to be also to be out Injured. Still I have no good idea when he will return from Injury. He has been the best player for Real Madrid so far this season with ten goals doing the work of a striker.

Real Madrid got to sign sign a part-time player who will fill up the role for Karim Benzema ( Joselu ) but he needs to do better and enough fir the club.
Barcelona has been my favorites to win the league but not so consistent. Girona may still not emerge winners this season, but if they do, props to them.

Not really. Xavi can rotate the players. Gavi was playing as right winger and the club is still having lamine yamal who can be used to replace him. There's no need to feel worry. Even though yamal is even younger compared with gavi and i think he has also same quality as gavi. The only good thing from lamine yamal if he was not so emotional like gavi. So, i think that missing gavi will not be a problem for barcelona. As long as lewandowski still able to play.
Ferran torrest or raphinha can play at the left wing position. The rotation will be made by xavi. Im sure xavi knew the best for the club since there was a new about gavi got serious injury.

Many people are feeling worry caused by their favorite players might be affected by this. It's a just matter of time until everything will be fixed by the coach. We can only trust xavi who knows better than us regarding the situation of club.
It's time for yamal to show his performance in the main squad. We will see what kind of line up will be preferred by xavi. barcelona has not yet faced the strong team in UCL.

The two teams promoted this season will open their matches this week after the international break ends. Bringing together hosts Alaves who will host their guests Granada and this will be a fairly balanced match according to their respective levels. Currently Alaves is in 15th position with 12 points and Granada looks much worse by being in the relegation zone temporarily and only collecting 7 points. If we look at the previous meeting the two teams only played a draw and that too at home to Alaves. So, even though there will be another draw, I hope there will be a win for one of the teams, especially as both of them are also targeting full points to improve their current position.

The home team will maximize this match to get three points to continue to maintain the point difference from the teams in the relegation zone. Alaves can maximize their attacks because Granada's defense line is considered weak, even though in terms of scoring goals, Granada is still better than Alaves, but because of their weak defense so that they get more bad results.
Alaves experienced problems in scoring goals, on average they could only score 1 goal in each match or not score at all.
My prediction is that this will be a match that ends in a draw or if the home team wins by only 1 goal and it will be a balanced match but not interesting to watch because the attempt created will be very minimal.

Looking at the history of the meeting between the two clubs Alaves and Granada, Granada should have been the favorite, but on the contrary, Alaves is the favorite at this time because Alaves' performance is much better, while Granada is currently in the relegation zone, but I will not only examine the current situation because I am worried If Granada could give a surprise like in past history, Granada is superior by beating Alaves 3 times and we have to be careful if we want to bet on this match, even though the odds are high, there is definitely a chance of a surprise draw or Granada winning.

Barcelona's chances of becoming champions are very high even without Gavi. It was a significant loss but Xavi will create his game plan without him. I hope he recovers faster than expected and Gavi returns to the green fields as soon as possible.

This will be a disaster for Barcelona because until now Gavi was one of their mainstays in midfield and attack but now the ACL which has always been a problem for some players has even had to stop their dreams in football and now Gavi has the same problem.
Even though there is still hope in the end for Gavi to recover and continue to regain his performance but sometimes this is not as easy as imagined even though he is still quite young because if we see some names that have experienced problems like this (ACL injuries) they rarely regain their best performance even if they regain their performance it takes a long time.

[Leviathan.007]

We can hope vini to recover from his injury as soon as possible. Everything is still possible for him. Real madrid will be missing him a lot since vini is one of ke player of madrid. We will be using old formation (joselu, rodrygo, bellingham)
Ancellotti are still having those guys. There's no need to feel worry about that. bellingham will able to carry the team again as long as modric will be playing.

Vinicius Jr's injury to the Brazilian national team is really unfortunate for Real Madrid. But Real Madrid should have thought about these possibilities beforehand and taken some precautions against them. Vinicius Jr will be out of football for about 3 months due to this injury. After Benzema had gone to the Arab League, they should have immediately made a transfer to fill Benzema's void, but they didn't. Now Vinicius Jr is also injured. They have to sign a striker in the winter transfer window. Otherwise their chances against Girona and Barcelona will diminish.

Vinicius Jr injury problem is a serious issue to real madrid because Vinicius is a key player in Real Madrid and it can affect the team of achieving. My fear for Real Madrid is that bellingham which everyone is looking up to nothing happens to him, because if anything happens to him I don't think Real Madrid will be able to get the title this season.

If Real Madrid would have been able to get the perfect replacement for Benzema it would have really be a help to the team, and Vinicius Jr this season have not really been stable this season due to injuries,  I think this season can end up to be a difficult season for Real Madrid. Girona and Barcelona will take Real Madrid challenge as an opportunity to grab the championship this season.

previously I also said that if Vinicius suffered an injury this would affect the performance of Real Madrid attack line while I am sure you know Bellingham also had a shoulder injury but I am sure it not prevent Bellingham from making a contribution to Madrid and I hope the injury suffered by Vinicius It not be too bad because the only hope to break Girona dominance is Real Madrid at the moment, while Barcelona is currently in a slightly declining condition because the Barcelona striker, after suffering an injury, is unable to perform optimally as usual and to compete with Real Madrid, it likely they'll just have to wait for the transfer market later Barcelona can get quality players and Real Madrid will also look for the best striker to continue the work of breaking Girona dominance.

If I'm not wrong Vinicius was inujred recently for another time and it's the second time he has been injured during this season which is a lot I think there is too much pressure on this player that's mostly because of the bad decisions Real Madrid made during the last summer. They were waiting for Mbappe and they didn't buy a good sticker for the teams that's why there is now more pressure on some other layers than they should have,
They really need to hire a good striker during the winter.

When a player is under pressure to deliver at club and country level, he's more vulnerable to injuries. Real Madrid will find alternatives to ensure they're able to find promising players as backup for these injured important players. These injuries spree in the team will make them decline in performance, and I'm looking forward to watch them fights for an improvement. All pressure on Vinicius Júnior who's really trying to fit in the shoes open for him. Los Blancos sights Kylian Mbappe who happens to be one of the very best talents in football but he's not available ad PSG are exploring options to tie him down this coming summer.

All in on alaves. That's a sense choice rather than granada. Granada will be relegated again soon. There's no spirit on this team. It deserves to be relegated again to the lower tier. La liga is not the right place for granada at this moment. I consider that if alaves was always giving tough game even when it was against the big club. No doubt that if i would prefer to pick alaves instead of granada at this moment. Alaves being favored by bookies and yeah, it's deserved to have that odds. I meant 1.84 was good odds for alaves at this moment.
The performance of alaves is good enough. Alaves is good, and it is always showing consistent performance even though it keeps fail when it was facing stronger club than it.

Alaves is targeting three points to secure its position. It seems like that this club will not be relegated this season. Getting three points against alaves will obviously save the club from being relegated.

I don't think Madrid can keep Vinicius from playing for the Brazilian national team, and we never know when an injury will occur. Madrid current squad situation is very complicated, Ancelotti has lost many important players due to injury, and indeed they will not remain silent in the january transfer window. Several players are rumored to be Madrid targets in the future, and Mbappe is the name most talked about. However, I am optimistic about Ancelotti, with his experience he will be able to make Madrid stable. So far Los Blancos have only confirmed that Vinicius is undergoing examination by the medical team, and they cannot yet confirm when he will be available again.

[shield132]

That's very sad for Xavi and Barcelona to see Gavi getting injured like this. I think these FIFA days we recently saw made many players injured and now Gavi is injured while he is a key player in Barcelona.
In the game between Spain and Georgia, Gavi couldn't continue the game after 24 minutes and he left the field while crying.
It seems he is injured hard and he is going to be out for a long time.

It was a terrible day for Spain and Barca. I'll be honest and say that Georgia is not a team where Spain needs to play with superstars to win. We only have one superstar player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the rest of them perform very badly, you can see that Georgia isn't able to win against faroe island and similar teams. Khvicha is the only newly born superstar but he is not capable to beat Spain alone. Today, FC Barca management is very angry on spain because Gavi won't be able to play during the season, he will have to take a 7-8 months break. He is really a big loss for Barcelona and for Spain.

[Doell]

~~~

After Ter Stegen, now it was Gavi's turn to suffer an injury and it appeared he was suffering from pain in the match which made him have to leave the field early. Maybe this is the worst international break ever considering that so many players are injured and quite a few of these players are key players at each club. It is reported that Gavi suffered a serious knee injury and it will definitely take a long time to recover. Xavi must be able to rotate his players in the upcoming match which is getting closer and it is possible that he will give Fermin Lopez full opportunity to fill the void left by Gavi.

Very bad, Gavi is a talented young player but yes I heard him injury was very serious, which required him to be absent for a long time. Although I think Xavi seems to have other options because in the last match he didn't use Gavi services, but losing players due to injury is clearly bad for them, especially also Gavi is a key player for Xavi. Every international break there are always injuries, but yes this international break is worst, previously we heard injury player Camavinga Ter Stegen Vini etc.

Granada is in a really bad position right now. They were unable to win a single match in the last five. Compared to them I think Alaves is actually doing better. Back at the same time not that much better to be honest. So I actually agreed that this match is going to be fairly balanced and pretty close. my team is not going to be far better compared to the others. But at the same time, both teams actually need to win because otherwise, they are going to be in more trouble. And that is applicable to both teams. Granada needs to win because they only have one win so far in this season.

Girona is doing everything they can to win the season title, but I don't think Real Madrid and Barcelona will let that happen. I know that many of Real Madrid's talented players are injured, but I don't think that will stop Real Madrid from performing well. Real Madrid will continue to perform well because players like Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are still around. Despite their advanced age, these two players are still better than some of the world's young players. Jude Bellingham will play in every game that real Madrid plays because he is healthy again. Additionally, real Madrid has players like Rodrigo, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz who will play attacking positions.

In all honesty, these international matches are allowing a team to lose players. Girona will want to take advantage of real Madrid and Barcelona losing some of their players to win the league title, but I don't think that will happen because they will soon face a team that will defeat them. Not only will Barcelona face player problems, but real Madrid will as well. I heard that Gavi sustained a serious injury in yesterday's match.

Girona this season have been optimistic and determined to be in that top spot of the La Liga standings. They've been securing wins with good goal margins and making it all seem so easy. Will Real Madrid or Barcelona be pushed behind and subdued? I don't think so, Real Madrid alone has players fit enough for any encounter, they're doing really well for themselves, there's positivity in the team and majorly, they've been victorious many times.

 For Barcelona, although they are experiencing some mild defaults yet still, they still will pose a threat to Girona, they can do their best to stay out on the top 4 spot but to win the league, the probability is way less than average, not to mock them though because football is an unpredictable game, but they still know that Real Madrid especially won't make it so easy for them. We await the final season result and standings.

Yea Girona is a club that doesn't seem to be able to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona in the trophy race because we see them not as strong as these other two clubs since onset. But I think this season has been a different one for Girona because they have gone through so many challenges and they came out victorious where some of the big club like Barcelona is still facing some turbulence.

We might be thinking that because Girona is not among the top four most time in Laliga, that they will not be able to win the trophy but at the same time, anything can happen and that is why this is football because you should expect the unexpected. Girona might shock the world this season and win the trophy. Although, I am not saying that they are the favorite here but let's not underrate them because they were the least expected to be in the position that they are currently on the table.
