La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Gavi is out of the season and Barcelona is hoping to defend it’s La Liga title and improve on form so as to qualify it’s Champions League group, he’ll miss the EUROS and the Olympic. Xavi will have the major setback in this long term injury because Gavi is a very influential person in his team and this is very big setback for Barcelona this season.

 But squad depth comes into play, the need for Gundo and De Jong comes into play. Xavi will have quite a difficult task going forward because he has to quickly get his team back into shape, De Jong who’s probably just recovering might mot be fully fit to begin play immediately except he’s ready to risk it and get into another injury anytime soon. Fermin Lopez will be a preferable option as against De Jong’s full recovery.

The injury suffered by Gavi took a long time to heal and this was quite detrimental for him to develop as one of the young talents at the club and for the national team. Gavin must be patient in his recovery and he needs full concentration on dealing with the injury problem he is experiencing. He has many matches to play with the club and national team, so this season it can be said that his career has stopped developing.

The condition of the midfield is quite important because they are the ones who set the rhythm of the game. Gundogan has defensive weaknesses when the opponent counterattacks because he is a typical attacking midfielder even though he can play as a defensive midfielder and De Jong has not fully recovered so Xavi has to try to combine other players. If Xavi misplaces his strategy it will be quite dangerous because Barcelona has a lot of matches scheduled for next month. Hopefully he can overcome the problem of injuries to players in midfield and I'm sure Barcelona have a lot of great players in that position even though they don't have much experience.

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.

Gavi was showing a decent performance before getting injured. So his absence would be felt of course. By the way I have read interesting news about him recently. It was saying that FIFA were going to pay Barcelona 20k euros per day during Gavi's injury. Is this really true? If it is then I must admit that I'm hearing about such thing for the first time in my life. 

Gavi and Pedri both are very valuable players for Barcelona now. They are Barcelona's future so Barcelona are also doing their best to have a long and strong bond with them.

Sevilla is a complete box. You never know what they will do. They are playing great in the match where they are not favourites. They may lose in the match where they seem to be favourites. That's why there is no guarantee for the Sociedad match. A match that both teams can win. If Sevilla players have a good day, they will put a lot of pressure on Sociedad.

This season Sociedad still looks better than Sevilla, although Sevilla can still do unexpected things in this season's matches, but Sociedad itself will also do better at home in order to achieve full points in its fourteenth match this season . Their match is quite an interesting match apart from several matches against other stronger teams this weekend and because Sociedad's current position is not in a bad ranking, I am quite sure Sociedad will try to win with the abilities they currently have.

5 matches without a win indicates that they are not doing well, although they did not lose the match, but still when dealing with teams weaker than them and they get a draw it can be said to be a negative result they received.
Real Sociedad are a better team than them at the moment, it will be an interesting match. Although it is not easy to beat Sevilla, Real Sociedad is the favorite in this match.
I'm expecting a surprise from Sevilla, just as they topped the table in the previous 2 seasons, yes even though it didn't last until the end of the season.

This season Sociedad still looks better than Sevilla, although Sevilla can still do unexpected things in this season's matches, but Sociedad itself will also do better at home in order to achieve full points in its fourteenth match this season .

This season, Real Sociedad is better than Sevilla in terms of play and standings. It could be said that Real Sociedad is a world class team, they can make strong teams unable to beat them. This can be seen in the match against Barcelona. They were almost able to hold a draw in that match, but luck was on Barcelona's side in the end to win. It could be said that Real Sociedad always makes things difficult for the big teams in La Liga and in the UCL.

Their match is quite an interesting match apart from several matches against other stronger teams this weekend and because Sociedad's current position is not in a bad ranking, I am quite sure Sociedad will try to win with the abilities they currently have.

Of course, in this match Real Sociedad will try to win when Sevilla is not doing well. These three points are important to maintain hope of being able to pursue a top four position.

It's nothing new anymore for FIFA to treat Barcelona is a special team, many matches in the past the referees were supporting Barcelona by not make a fair judgement, the decision is always pro to Barcelona. Not to mention robbery of Ballon d'Ors.

So it's not surprising for FIFA to help Barcelona in terms financial.

Yeah FIFA sucks. lol Barcelona is fifa's favorite club. This is why the one who deserved to get ballon d'ors was not even able to winning it. A club that has an additional player in the field and that's referee.

So it's not surprising for FIFA to help Barcelona in terms financial.

Im not even hearing the news that was treating madrid same like what fifa did to the barcelona which is so strange. Two faces organization.

You could say they are FIFA's golden boys?
Things like this should not be done by FIFA, if they do the same thing with other clubs then it is legitimate, but if there is special treatment to only one club, it seems like it is a very stupid thing to do by a big federation like them.
Actually, there are many cases that harm other parties and only benefit Barcelona, but they seem to have never been touched by heavy sanctions against them. Things like this will get a jealousy for other clubs, and it will be very bad for football.

Sociedad vs Sevilla i think during this season Sociedad performance was quite stable although they had several times to lose but those loses were comes from big teams just like Barcelona or Real Madrid and if they fight against mediocre teams Sociedad almost be certain to gets the winning results and for this weekend Sociedad consistency will be tested by Sevilla whether they can managed their consistency and beat Sevilla or not

Sevilla last winning on Laliga was happened on September and since that Sevilla never able to gets the winning results again in Laliga and i am sure Sociedad have already realized this records and they will attempts to collect 3 points from this match about team condition the latest news from Sociedad is their top scorer Mikel Oyarzabal will be doubtful to play because he has got injured when defend Spain national team and hopefully it won't have any affect to Sociedad performance later although i know he is important player for this team however considering Sevilla poor records i think Sociedad will going to win this match

Real Sociedad has performed far better this season than Sevilla, who have been playing very poorly. I don't think they will be able to return to their previous level of play this season because of their lack of financial difficulties and the sale of players without a replacement. Because Sociedad is playing at home, I am still very confident that Sevilla won't be difficult to defeat and earn three points from. Sevilla is still in 12th place in the league, but Sociedad has moved up to 6th, there is no doubt that Sociedad will win. Right now, Sociedad's victory and three points are what they need to go up to fifth position and pass Athletic Club. Despite the absence of Mikel Oyarzabal, their best scorer, we still think Sociedad can win.

Mikel Oyazabal and Take Kubo are players leading with the most goals for Real Sociedad, if one of these players absent, then the other should step up and take his place leading the squad to victory. It'll take alot of defending and attacking though against Sevilla even though they're complete trash with current manager Alonso D!

Real Sociedad has done well both in the Spanish League and Champions League, they should be amongst qualified clubs for the knock out stage already. I don't know why Sevilla chased the previous manager, what's the difference between the last management and the present? Sevilla sucks, I ain't much development from last season and this season.

I think that Barcelona like any other team has good and bad times. Last season Barcelona did well and had no competition. Now other clubs are doing better than Barcelona and it doesn't mean that FIFA supports or doesn't support anyone.

There are many european players who were injured but the special treatment given to the gavi as barcelona's player. FIFA virus was so crazy as it was making so many players will absent to play in the regular match and UCL competitions.
Did you remember when barcelona has been ordered to cllect at least 200 millions to deal with FFP? Barcelona has so many problems. There must be a justice for other clubs, fair play is the most important thing in the football.
That is why most of football fans or even coaches were hating FIFA virus. It was only costing the club a lot by missing the important players to play in important game for the club.
I do hate fifa virus. It makes the club competition become less attractive without some great players to perform in the field.

[Weawant]

Sevilla is not in a good form this season because almost all there matches has been draws, so considering there pattern of play is obvious that they will not go far on this season, however there last season seem a bit better for them in times of performance.

So perhaps considering Real Sociedad and Sevilla performance I think Real Sociedad stands on a chances of wining Sevilla because checking there statistics on there previous meeting Real Sociedad won them on there last meeting so there is every tendency that they will still win Sevilla again.

Real sociedad has lost only Once at home this season, so far they have managed to be really good playing from home this season and almost stayed unbeaten at home except for Barcelona who halted their unbeaten record for this season but then they have still performed really good.

Sevilla in their last five games, has continually had a draw streak, they continually draw so to be able to at least get a point from almost every game they play and I don't think this is healthy enough because they can't grow well enough with just one point each although by all indications this match against Real socidad may end differently considering the home advantage real sociadad has and their performance so far

[hahay]

Yes indeed, Sevilla can sometimes surprise to win in matches that look difficult. But at this moment, I think maybe Sevilla will not succeed in making a surprise. Because after all, the reality of 4 match or 4 meetings against Real Sociedad in La Liga based on head to head records, the reality is that Sevilla are unable to beat Real Sociedad. Also, so far this season the reality is that Sevilla does not have a winning result when Sevilla plays away, because of Sevilla's 5 away matches so far this season the reality is that Sevilla only get 3 draws and 2 defeats. Taking into account records like that, then it still seems to be a good choice to bet for Real Sociedad in this match or maybe also bet with other options.

Sevilla performed well but Sevilla only tried to get a draw in a match that was quite difficult, look at the last five matches Sevilla had consecutive draws so I think even though Real Sociaded performed better than Sevilla but Sevilla will try to get that draw if Real Sociadad was not able to score more than 1 goal against Sevilla, However, if Real Sociadad is able to score more than 1 goal and take the lead first and maintain their goal defense so that Sevilla cannot equalize then Real Sociadad will win, Real Sociadad must be able to create a greater chance of winning in the next match.

[wmaurik]

It is not easy to beat Real Sociedad, which gained a significant morale boost by beating Benfica. After this match, they also won 3 points away against Almeria. Sevilla is a difficult team, but I think Sociedad can beat them because they are in form. The average age of Sevilla is very high. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, is more stable and successful. I think the victory is closer to Sociedad.

I also have a view that is not different from yours, where Real Sociedad will take advantage of any opportunity to win against Sevilla this week. Because Real Sociedad has a golden opportunity before its eyes to get a better position if Athletic Club loses the match at the start of next week. I say that because Athletic Club's opponent is Girona, who are still quite consistent in beating their opponents so this could be quite beneficial for Real Sociedad if Real Sociedad is able to get full points at home.

[piebeyb]

Meanwhile, for the Barcelona team, which is currently in great difficulty and also lacks players, of course this is quite a loss, and Xavi, the Barcelona coach, must work even harder in arranging tactics with the available players so that the team's performance is maintained.

I think Xavi will continue to play the remaining players currently available in the main squad even though maybe later Xavi will have to look for a replacement, but it takes careful thought to find the right player to replace Gavi after a serious injury, of course this is very detrimental to Barcelona especially considering they still playing in the UCL and also maintaining their position in Laliga.

Barcelona must continue to consistently be on the winning track to remain at the top of the standings in order to be able to hunt for the title this season by taking advantage of the failures that Girona or Madrid might make at the end of the season. Barcelona must be able to play with players from the existing main squad and of course they will probably there are slight changes due to Gavi's injury in the main squad. I think Xavi has thought about everything and knows how to handle this situation.

i think Barcelona could be one of the teams that become more active during the winter transfer period. With Gavi being out for a long time and also knowing that Lewandowski could drop out because of an injury again since he is not the youngest player anymore, it could make sense for them to be careful and do something about the depth of their squad. They can't just buy any player, but if there is an opportunity to add some quality even if it is only temporary like a loan player, it should be done I think. There are a lot of games ahead of them in the next few months.

Yes, Real Sociedad must take advantage of the opportunity well because Real Sociedad's opportunity seems to be visible if this club is able to appear impressive when beating Sevilla and Real Sociedad can improve their position in the standings. Indeed, Sevilla is not an easy opponent but Sevilla's chances are smaller because Sevilla will play away from home, however This possibility could still happen because Sevilla is also trying to improve its ranking in the standings.
If you look at the H2H data of the last meeting between the two, Real Sociedad managed to beat Sevilla at home, I think Real Sociedad will do the same in this match.

Yes, Bilbao might find it difficult to win against Girona. This season Girona is doing their best. they even compete with Madrid and Barcelona. This is different from what Girona showed last season.
If Girona can beat Bilbao, of course, that is an opportunity for Sociedad to overtake Bilbao. but facing Sevilla is also full of surprises. Sociedad may also not be able to ensure their victory.

Barcelona will crumbled this season due to the intermediate injuries in the club, there's a whole lot of injuries that hits harder especially on the big players this season. Perhapes Xavi Hernandez is working entirely on bringing the best out of his players, he's patient ands setting extreme rules to help him elevate and boost team's performance without the presence of these important players. Gavi is ruled out for a long term, and the returning players that have not gain full fitness will try to adapt quickly because there's a whole heavy burden on the team.

Barcelona is in a state that might drop the club's performance due to the present suitaution of Gavi and Lewandoski. Those are key players because at this time Barcelona needs to be winning matches if they want to still remain in the competition for the title. Xavi should think of a way to manage the players on ground and use them to win matches so that they wouldn't feel the absence of Gavi and Lewadoski who is getting weak. U believe that Barcelona will be able to overcome this challenge but they need to really work hard.
