La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Sim_card]

And shortly after, the defending La Liga champions are going to face Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas Stadium in Madrid. Barcelona is third in the league table with 30 points from 13 matches. Barcelona lost 2-1 at Rayo Vallecano last time out. Rayo Vallecano's points last saw them lose 2-1 to table-toppers Girona. They are in 10th position with 18 points with four wins and six draws. Barcelona will be without Gavi, Sergi Roberto, Marc-Andre, ter Stegen. Barcelona can afford to take points, but despite their form, it won't be easy at Rayo Vallecano. I think Barcelona can salvage 3 points with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Barcelona can afford to take three points but it really needs a hard work from the players. Playing without the main player is kinda different compared to when the club was only using the secondary player to play. Bareclon might be facing difficulty to beat rayo. I think that rayo is going to use fully deefensive strategy like parking bus. This will also make barcelona's players feel so frustrated if they will not able to win the game. I bet on barcelona but im not sure if this club will able to win easily against rayo.
Even real madrid has been also facing difficulty to beat it. Barcelona will also face the same nuance. Rayo is still leading the game.

Barcelona has finally find the back of the net, with Lewandoski have a good finish with a header but he couldn't only to see Rayo defender putting his leg on the ball to make the goal an own goal. Assuming he didn't put his leg Lewandoski would have still score the goal. Barca player better in the second half than in the first half. If you have observed, Barca are always struggling to win their previous matches and they are always scoring on the last quarter of the match. It is a big challenge for Barca, if they can't secure all three points because there is Girona and Real Madrid ahead of them and who knows is Athletico will win their match tonight. It is Rayo 1 and Barca 1

An own goal saved Barcelona from defeat and Vallecano had to drop the full 3 points at home after playing out a 1-1 draw. Here it is quite clear that Barcelona really benefited from Lejeune's blunder because he failed to block the pass and instead went into his own goal. Actually Vallecano performed very well even though they often received attacks but they managed to repel them. Meanwhile, Barcelona, which really dominated the match, had difficulty scoring even one goal from normal attacks. However, this draw is not good for Barcelona because they will be increasingly behind Girona and Real Madrid.

[HT] Rayo Vallecano 1 - 0 Barcelona

Rayo Vallecano managed to take a temporary lead in the match because of a goal scored by Unai Lopez. I don't know what Barcelona was thinking at the moment that they were 1 goal behind in the first half. Even though this is an important match for them with the aim of chasing Real Madrid and Girona who are currently above them.

If they fail here, it will provide a golden opportunity especially for Real Madrid to increase their distance from Barcelona considering that their opponents in the next match will be Cadiz who are currently at the bottom of the standings.

Once again, Xavi experiment didn't go well, Barcelona game was more lively after Xavi replaced Rumeu with Gundogan, Ferran Torres also seemed to have no role and didn't help much in the attack. De Jong, who was supposed to help attack, was instead busy helping defense, in the end Lewandowski didn't have the ball to at least create a chance. Once again Xavi was saved by an own goal from a Rayo player, this result makes Barcelona even further behind Real Madrid and Girona if these two teams are able to win in Week 14.

Barcelona position in third place is also increasingly insecure because Atletico have only played 12 matches, Barcelona has lost a lot of points this season due to Xavi decision to continue experimenting with his squad. If Xavi never learns from Barcelona failure in several matches which caused them to lose points to small teams, Xavi's Barcelona era will be better known as Rotation FC.

Previously, Rayo was able thwarted Real Madrid efforts to get three points. Although Rayo lost their last match against Girona, but today they are can be able thwarted Barcelona from getting three points. It seems that Rayo has become a great team there, they can get one point against 2 big La Liga club, that should be able to motivate them in the next match.
On the other side, yes this draw result is not good for Barcelona, may also will be make Barcelona under pressure next week. The reason is, they could not close the gap with Girona and Real Madrid yes, but also with this result Barcelona opened the way for Atletico Madrid.

Rayo Vallecano is always a tough team to beat. Luckily, Barcelona managed to pull off a draw against them in their LaLiga match. Barcelona is not doing so well lately – their attack isn't as fast and dynamic as it should be. It's safe to say Barcelona is going through a rough patch, and if they don't fix things quickly, it looks like they might have a tough season ahead.

I don't know what Barcelona was thinking at the moment that they were 1 goal behind in the first half. Even though this is an important match for them with the aim of chasing Real Madrid and Girona who are currently above them.

Barcelona managed to equalized the match at with a late minute goal from Robert Lewandowski, the expensive striker. With this trend of the big teams struggling to win match this weekend, I won't be surprised if one of them loses match this weekend to give the bookies advantage at the detrimen of their customers. Bayern Munic managed to win with a lone goal against Koln, while Man City and Liverpool ended in a stalemate.  Chelsea is one goal each against Newcastle while Celtic is also playing a goaless draw with Motherwell. This shows that this weekend might not be the best for gamblers who specialises on soccer.

The advantage is on Valencia's side of course, be it in terms of form, consistency, and they even have the external advantage of being the home side. Celta Vigo are in a very bad state, they can only win 1 of the 13 matches they played, they lost 8 and the rest ended in a draw. Obviously this is an opportunity for Valencia to get back full points after the previous week they had to lose to Real Madrid with a landslide score at the time, 5-1.
Meanwhile, Celta Vigo will try to get at least 1 point from their away match.

Although Celta Vigo have looked very bad so far this season but ya, it seems that in every season Celta Vigo at least experience results that are not much different like this too. Therefore, I think Celta Vigo still has a chance to be able to avoid the relegation zone along with this season. But ya, regarding the away match against Valencia this time, ofcourse there is no good chance for Celta Vigo in this match, because obviously Valencia will also take advantage of this situation to be able to win in this home match against Celta Vigo.

Entering the 30th minute, it seemed that Celta Vigo could keep up with the game from Valencia so far, they did not give Valencia the freedom to develop their game quickly. In terms of ball possession, Valencia are better but still so far they have not been able to create very dangerous opportunities in the Celta Vigo defense.
If the game goes like this until the end of the match, then I would say the match will end with a draw. But time is still long of course for both clubs to make changes to their game, especially in the second half later.

Current placed from Rayo Vallecano is not really bad settled on 10th standings position against Barcelona who on 3rd placed in La Liga standings, but in domestic league this season Rayo Vallecano not winning last three matches in a row and defeated by Girona before international break out. Have difference motivation against Barcelona exactly head to head Rayo dominance from Barcelona will make another thing for Vallecano get their first winning matches after failure more than last three matches before.

Barcelona have remaining four points behind Girona on the top position, actually they won't loss points again to make close keep on the top position for defending their La Liga tittle last season, in this match Barcelona have loss Gavi after ACL injury but potential will put Frankie de Jong in starting eleven after returning from injury.

Barcelona certainly has great motivation to be able to win in this week's match, but with their team's condition not improving at the moment, this will be difficult for the Barcelona team, especially since this match will be played at Rayo Vallecano's home ground, which will be a bit profitable for you. home with the full support of the sportsmen.

If you look at the strength of the two teams in the last few matches, I think Rayo Vallecano is not too bad and it wouldn't be a big surprise if they managed to get points in this match, and on the other hand, Barcelona itself is still experiencing many problems.

Barcelona was getting draw against rayo. As you can see that the main weakness of barcelona to face a club that was using the fully defensive strategy. Xavi is not having other tactic. He keeps used old strategy like tic tac strategy. Take a look at the significant difference in the number of goal attempts between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano, as Barcelona has noticeably fewer attempts. It will make barcelona lose its patience and rayo will get more chance.
Look at how effective counter attack by rayo vallecano. Xavi was following the old philosophy of football. This kind of tactic will be totally useless against a team that is fully defending. Barcleona is not leading the game now.
The opportunity to level the score remains, however, my doubt arises as Rayo continues to employ a fully defensive strategy. Barcelona needs to go all in attack. This club is still consistently doing backpass.

It's safe to say Barcelona is going through a rough patch, and if they don't fix things quickly, it looks like they might have a tough season ahead.

Rayo Vallecano is not a weak team for Barcelona, ​​you have to look back at the record of the two meetings.
Barcelona has had 2 defeats and 3 draws in its 5 meetings with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga (including today's match), so there was no surprise when Barcelona only drew against them.

I'm not sure why Barcelona always has difficulty improving its meeting record with Rayo Vallecano both at home and away. Last season, Barcelona had to lose and draw against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga. To be honest, Vallecano was really enthusiastic and wild against Barcelona compared to other La Liga teams. They play so confidently and often get to Barcelona with provocation and wasting time, but the strategy has worked for them so far.

Rayo Vallecano is not a potential team in the La Liga series but it is really sad that Barcelona drew the match 1-1 with this team. Because Barcelona is a popular team and they are strong enough and on the other hand Rayo Vallecano is not a potential strong team but they drew 1-1 with a team like Barcelona it could be a great achievement for them but it is a shame for Barcelona. And while Rayo Vallecano scored a goal in the first half, Barcelona scored a goal in the 82nd minute to draw the match. Lol

Yeah barcelona was lucky enough but missing 2 points are also unacceptable result since barcelona is now in the title race against real madrid and girona. Losing point will be only making the gap even bigger toward girona and real madrid.
Im sure real madrid and girona will be able to beat their opponents soon. Barcelona has found so difficult to score against vallecano. As i predicted that if barcelona would be struggle like real madrid.
It becomes true. Barcelona was always dominating the ball possession, but this club is always threatened through counter attack created by rayo. Many people underrated rayo but i personally thought that if this clbu is also one of club that was able to stealing points from the big club. Im confusing what kind of gameplay owned by barcelona. It's always passing one to each other and this club has lost interest to create attack.
Barcelona would be lost if there was no own goal.

Sweet Jesus!
Rayo Vallecano now has accumulated four points from two big boys Real Madrid and Barcelona, this is the same Rayo Vallecano that couldn't beat Girona last meeting before the international break.

Xavi Hernandez has just risked some players to be dumped on the bench. These are defender's that will keep the game for him, why drop araujo and kounde? What good result has he gotten from.the game now! His tactics should be put in checked otherwise, he'll not wins the League this season. I felt with De Jong back they'll keep balance I'm midfied but couldn't during the first half. Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal are not to be trusted these players are not making good impact in attack.

Xavi Hernandez will end of losing that game to Porto, he failed tactically today.

It was an own goal but if you have watched the ball clearly, you will see that Lewandoski had already positioned himself to head the ball so assuming Lejeune didn't make that blunder, Lewandoski would have scored the goal.

It is quite sad to see Barcelona struggling with their matches and they have also not able to keep the gap between them and Girona with Real Madrid, so that they can also be in the competition. Dropping two points today might affect their race in winning the title. I think Gavi injury and Lewandoski old age is really affecting the performance of the club, but Xavi needs to know how he will manage the club during this critical time because it was a poor result for them today. Although, they were able to put themselves back in the game in the second half.

Rayo Vallecano's performance was erratic, as they drew 0-0 against Real Madrid and drew 1-1 with Barcelona. They are unbeaten against both giants. However, they lost 2-1 against Girona. Rayo Vallecano players are performing very well against big teams.

Rayo Vallecano players performed well today as well. Each of their attacks was planned. This is why the team got a 1-0 lead in the first half. On the other hand, even if Barcelona can dominate the match, their attack weakness is being realized quite well. Barcelona need another regular scorer in their squad. The team's performance is erratic in the same manner as the experienced striker.

When Rayo Vallenaco plays big teams, they are very strong. The reason I say this is that the last time they played Real Madrid, the game ended 0-0, and now when they play Barcelona, the score is 1-1. I did not think Barcelona would even score again because the match was only 82 minutes old when Barcelona scored their goal. To be honest, despite having some excellent players on the team, Barcelona's performance has not changed this season as the fans had hoped.

Lewandowski is the team's star player, but his performance this season has been poor, and he is finding it harder to score goals than he did when he was a player for Bayern Munich. I believe Barcelona needs to acquire another striker who will be even more effective than Lewandowski. Xavi needs to work harder to motivate his players if they continue to play this way because they will not be able to win any trophies this season.

The goal in the second half for Barcelona was not a pure result scored by a Barcelona player, but it was an own goal from a Rayo Vallecano player so this saved Barcelona from defeat because the position was a draw or the same. This certainly will not make Barcelona happy enough because if Atletico Madrid is able to win at home when they host Mallorca, then Barcelona's current position will be overtaken by Atletico Madrid and make it difficult for Barcelona to compete at the top. I also wonder why Barcelona was unable to beat Rayo Vallecano in today's match, even though Barcelona has the strength to win today's match.

[KTChampions]

On the one hand, an unexpected result, on the other hand, it turns out that Rayo Vallecano takes points from Barcelona in the fifth consecutive game (within La Liga). The game itself looked like an equal one, and it’s not even clear who should be dissatisfied with the draw result. One way or another, Real (and Girona hahaha) got another chance to increase their advantage over Barcelona. By the way, if Atlético wins the two games they have in hand (relative to Barcelona), they will also bypass them.

[poodle63]

Challenge's with injury facing Real Madrid too much now, they have lost important players who have contributed to the goals scored in them last few games. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo who have scored when they faced Braga and also Valencia are all absent.

Yeah, I think Valverde will replace Rodrygo position and they will be forced to let Brahim Diaz to play, the bad this is they don't have any substitute for both midfielder and striker. There's no player can play for full time in every match, so there's a big chance Real Madrid will lose even against a weak team.

It's not possible since madrid is still having brahim diaz. Brahim will be filling vini's position while joselu will be playing at rodrygo's position. I think that ancellotti has also ever used this strategy before. Bellingham is going to play in the same position.
Valverde on mid along with kroos/modric depending on the situation in the club. That's possible line up to be used by real madrid since rodrygo and vini were injured.

I also wonder why Barcelona was unable to beat Rayo Vallecano in today's match, even though Barcelona has the strength to win today's match.

I remember a few days ago there were several people saying here that Rayo's match with Barcelona would surprise us all with the results of the match and I thought Barcelona would lose the following match because from the first half until around 80 minutes Barcelona had not been able to score and I was quite surprised that Felix and Lewandowski's performance was very bad, unlike the start of the season which appeared very good and as the match progressed, Lewandowski was unable to maintain his consistency so in several matches he could not give his best contribution and fortunately in the second half he was able to get 1 score and end the match in a draw. to get 1 point is better than not getting a point.
Barcelona bad form is very worrying because if they continue to perform like this there will definitely be other clubs trying to catch up to their position, even Real Madrid can get away from the points difference because in the upcoming match Real Madrid will very easily win.

[BIT-BENDER]

Barcelona again played a very disappointing match, the system and style of player is something not attributed to a big team, they go into the match conceding first and then they start to play the catch up game even against small teams that they are expected to demolish.
Today against Barcelona went down to Rayo vallecano in the first half and had to wait late into the second half to equalize by an own goal, it's time Barcelona make a decision on their present coach Xavi Hernandez.
