La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[liuka]

tomorrow we have the most important game of this round, I'm talking about Barcelona's game against Girona, this game if Barcelona wins, then they would be able to reduce the points difference with Real Madrid, it would only be 2 points, but if Barcelona draw or lose , so they will be wasting a good opportunity if they want to fight for the title. the opponent is not weak, but they did poorly against real madrid, I think Barcelona can also win this game

This Madrid's draw could blow the league wide open one more time. A lot of people saw the harm Betis could do to Madrid and funny enough they did. Betis were in pretty good form at home coming into this match, they haven't lost at home in about 4 matches or so. So the scoreline doesn't surprise me.

A draw is a fair result because on one side we have Madrid which is having a great run and on the other side, Betis is also having a good run at home. The crowd at the Estadio Benito was hopeful too, they believed they could take something home and they did.

I believe Barcelona is going to come out on top against Girona. It's going to be a difficult match for both teams but Barcelona will win. Barcelona who are still struggling to make the Estadio Olympico the fortress the Camp Nou is wouldn't want to lose at home when they have an opportunity to reduce the gap between them and Madrid.

Real Madrid failure to get points in today match of course opens up opportunities for the teams below them to reduce the points gap. I think Girona will make the most of this opportunity to get back to the top of the standings this week but a big obstacle is holding them back because the opponent they face is Barcelona.

Real Madrid has certainly shown good performances so far in Laliga, but they were not able to do much in today match because Real Betis played more defensively which made Real Madrid very frustrated in today's match. There were several opportunities created by Real Madrid players but they failed to change the score in this game. I think the competition is more interesting after Girona faces Barcelona.

Real Madrid should have brought in a new striker this season, but the management was too selfish in not doing so and thought it was not really needed. But I have another assumption, maybe Real Madrid needs to control spending so that its financial balance is not in trouble after Real Madrid signed Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid had too much hope for Mbappe, so when they failed to bring in Mbappe, Real Madrid had no other option. Real Madrid should have had other options when bringing in a striker in the last transfer market, maybe this could also be said of Real Madrid's selfishness too. I hope that in the next transfer market Real Madrid will buy a goalkeeper who has high fighting power so that every time Real Madrid's goal productivity increases.

In my opinion, a draw against Real Betis is not bad but maybe not as expected. Real Madrid failed to take advantage of several chances they created throughout the match, but all the players did their best. The performance of both teams was very good and the match was very interesting to watch until the end, so a draw was a fair result for both.

In my opinion, the draw with Real Betis was very bad, because this draw provided an opportunity for competitors to continue to pressure Real Madrid's position in first place. If Girona succeeds in beating Barcelona then Real Madrid's position will drop to second place, even though it is difficult, if you look at Girona's prospects this season, it is not impossible that they will make a surprise by beating Barcelona, especially at the moment Barcelona is unstable.

Glad to see that they won the game with that powerful header from Mayoral. They was the better team even if the both sides played a confusing game. Saw the match official using the red card too much yesterday, I don't know the magnitude of words said to him but that should have been a yellow card.

Real Madrid qualified already for the Champions League knockouts, wondering why they didn't win against Betis. Though they still have hold of the top and would be hoping arch-rivals Barcelona hold Girona down by defeating them tommorow. A surprised win from Girona would see them ascend to the top.

Getafe seems like a big team, they are have a good chemistry, and they deserved got win in that match. Unfortunately, I only watch this match in the first half. Previously, I think this game may will be interesting but what happened was not that interesting. I was disappointed to see the squad Valencia attack line, they not have a good chemistry which made me not watch this match in the second half, so I also don't know what happened at there in terms of red card.

Maybe Real Madrid is not in good condition, Vini also still injured which makes Real Madrid attack line not very sharp. Although also in the last few of matches Real Madrid have a good record, but that does not guarantee Real Madrid can always win. Especially, based on head to head in the last five matches when the both that team meet, Real Betis is also difficult opponent to beat by Real Madrid. But indeed, with this draw result now Girona has a chance, but winning against Barcelona also is not easy and it would be very surprising if it happened.

[lalabotax]

...Real Madrid should have won if we look at the strength of their squad and their consistency. But on the other hand, Betis is playing at their home

I personally think that most persons are of the opinion thst Real Madrid will definitely win betis,and thats why more attention has not been given to that game when come to discussion and speculations. But then real Madrid will most likely be faced with a game that will be slightly hard but I'm optimistic they will most likely win.

and it turned out that in the end Real Madrid was unable to win against Betis. they were only able to produce a draw in that match with quite disappointing statistics. Even though they have many opportunities to play the ball compared to Real Betis, in reality they are not even able to act more offensively than Betis. It cannot be denied that yesterday's calf defense was very good. This condition opens up the opportunity for Girona to take over the number 1 position again if they can win against Barcelona. However, it looks like this will be quite difficult because Barcelona is not an opponent that Girona can easily beat.

[nurilham]

Of course, Real Madrid benefits on one hand because Girona has Barcelona as their opponent this week. Girona will likely not be able to maintain their form when they visit Barcelona, ​​but no one knows what the outcome will be. Barcelona looks ready to win 3 points at home over visiting Girona, but Girona's good form is the reason why they should not be underestimated. Girona still has a chance to take top spot in the La Liga standings this week from Real Madrid, but I hope they don't.

Xavi must prepare his defenders to be alert when making transitions when Girona build counterattacks. Cristhian Stuani, Viktor Tsyhankov and Savio are some of the players to watch out for, they are a real threat to Barcelona's defense. However, I am optimistic about Barcelona because they are playing at home.

Real Madrid failed to take the advantage because they should be more superior than Real Betis. Girona will play against Barcelona, they seem to lose points at Barcelona home. It was the chance for Real Madrid to make the point gap bigger. But Real Betis isn't an easy opponent, they could force Real Madrid to share points.

I think it will be difficult for Girona to beat Barcelona at home. Barcelona has a better squad, they are also in a good condition lately. I'm sure Barcelona will have a bigger chance to get full points at home. They must have a dream to get the title this season, they must beat Girona if they want to shorten the point gap with Real Madrid in the 1st place. Barcelona defenders look ready to stop Girona attackers. If we analyze their quality, they must be capable to stop Cristhian Stuani, Viktor Tsyhankov and Savio.

Real Madrid drew today, they are still in first place, I think they have a lot of matches, but today was a really dark day. Bellingam came out as the savior again in the second half and provided a goal for his team, but then Real Betis' response was not too late and the person who gave the answer was Ruibal.

No matter how much Real Madrid seemed to dominate the game, their offense and attacks were not very efficient, and even Real Betis had much more important positions and shots on goal. Real Betis is not one of the teams you can beat easily

[Leviathan.007]

I said yesterday that Real Madrid will never easily score and win the game against Real Betis. In the end my analysis for the Real Betis vs Real Madrid match was correct and the score ended in a 1-1 draw. It's too easy to say that Madrid can win easily against any team including Real Betis, but I'm sure that's just a normal thing from fans who hope their favorite team wins endlessly but they don't do any analysis.

Winning, drawing and losing are part of the game and all teams will experience it. Real Madrid didn't perform very well today, but if Rodrygo is not selfish then I think victory is very possible. Real Madrid almost lost if former player Isco's header didn't hit the post, but I'm grateful that Real Madrid didn't lose.

Betis deserves good credits for the outstanding performance against Madrid. This was a golden opportunity for Real Madrid to balance first position on La Liga table. An elite club struggling is weigh out of the picture. Carlo Ancelotti was shocked about the results that came out, not everyone expected such horrendous performance from the visitors. Real Betis hold Los Blancos to a draw tie of 1-1 at the Benito Villamarín. Jude Bellingham was the first to nets a goal in the second halve, but his side couldn't defend, they later settle for a draw game.

Real Betis has shown their toughness when playing in today match against Real Madrid where they were able to hold off Real Madrid to steal full points. I see that Real Betis is very difficult for their opponents to beat because so far they have only suffered 2 defeats and in 16 matches the final results have mostly ended in draws.

Against Real Madrid, Real Betis were left behind by a goal scored by Bellingham, but they were able to equalize within 13 minutes after Bellingham scored. Yes, a draw may not be the result that Real Madrid wants in this match because they want to focus on widening the gap with Girona, but in reality Ancelotti squad was only able to share points in this match because the final score was 1-1.

Other than the result Real Madrid got against Real Betis and the point they lost in this season while they are going to feel regret about these points soon, I think the thing about this game against Real Betis was about Modric and the behavior he had during this match. When Ancelotti decided to take him out of the field, he was very sad and angry, I'm sure Ancelotti will change this behavior this Modric soon.

[youdacapt]

The performance of both teams was very good and the match was very interesting to watch until the end, so a draw was a fair result for both.

Jude Bellingham's 53rd minute goal against Real Betis wasn't enough to help his side claim all three points from that Spanish La Liga away game earlier today at Betis. 

Yes, both teams performances are good and okay; but Real Madrid are still lacking that goalscoring prowess and they cannot continue to rely on Jude Bellingham for goals if they want to win the La Liga title this season.

By January; i expect real madrid to buy and for a quality striker on short term basis and also confirm Mbappe too. Girona faces Barcelona tomorrow; a win for Girona means 2 point lead at the top of the league, if Barcelona wins; then they are back in the title runs.

Whats your predicition?

[EFS]

Yes, both teams performances are good and okay; but Real Madrid are still lacking that goalscoring prowess and they cannot continue to rely on Jude Bellingham for goals if they want to win the La Liga title this season.

Finally Real Madrid lost points, don't expect them to win every single game. Bellingham did what he has to do again, Brahim Diaz also made a good assist but aside from that goal, Real Madrid wasn't productive in offense. They looked for Vini in this game. Yes they need a striker who is better than Joselu and I believe they'll make a move next month. There is no doubt about that.

[TelolettOm]

Yes, both teams performances are good and okay; but Real Madrid are still lacking that goalscoring prowess and they cannot continue to rely on Jude Bellingham for goals if they want to win the La Liga title this season.

Real Betis looks better, they more dominated in attacking because they have more shot attempts. Real Madrid gets difficulty in attacking because they have no pure striker in the starting lineup. I don't know why Ancelotti doesn't want to let Joselu playing full time since the first minute. If Joselu can be in the starting lineup, I'm sure Real Madrid will be better in attacking. Real Madrid can't rely on Bellingham only, he isn't a striker.

By January; i expect real madrid to buy and for a quality striker on short term basis and also confirm Mbappe too.

Ideally, Real Madrid will buy a top striker. But I'm not sure if they can sign Mbappe because Mbappe will leave PSG at the end of the season. Since his contract isn't over yet, it is very doubtful to see him leaving the team in January.

[Velvet78]

Just as I expected Real Madrid couldn't have an easy game against Betis. Despite getting ahead first Betis still were able to answer in around 10 minutes. Betis were really good at keeping the score at 1-1 until the end of the game as well. This isn't a big problem for Real Madrid of course but at least they could have been a little better at finding the target more often.

Now they will hope for an advantageous result in the Barcelona - Girona game. I assume that result would be a draw. If Barcelona win they will get closer to them in the standings. I expect them to do so honestly.

[Jossque]

Real Madrid will probably lose the lead to Girona after a draw away to Betis.Real Madrid could have won the game after losing points away from home after a long time but luck was not on their side. At the beginning of the second half, Madrid took the lead with a goal from Bellingham but conceded 15 minutes later and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Villareal are struggling to hold on in the league.We see that they have difficulty in winning matches.We can say that there has been a rise in form in recent weeks, but I think they have the potential to finish this match at home with at least a draw.They did not play badly again in this match, but their forward players were not very lucky in terms of finishing.Sociedad, who completed the match with 3 goals scored in the first half, managed to increase their points to 29.

Real Betis perform very well against Real Madrid and deserve to draw against them, Real Madrid need to improve their performance if they want to win the league trophy, but I believe because of the injury players, if Girona defeat Barcelona they will top the League table and have a chance to win the trophy, because they are in good form and I believe they can try and defeat Barcelona in the match since real madrid have give them the opportunity to top the league because they draw against Real Betis, But it won't be easy for them because Barcelona doesn't want to think about goals at home they rather earn three points and keep chasing the league title.

this game between Barcelona and Girona I can't predict it because both teams are in good form this season, but I believe the match will end in a draw with both teams sharing the same points, and I believe Girona will want to put in the effort to win the match and top the league table, and if Girona tops the table, I don't think they will drop so easily because coach Mchel is performing well, and no one believes Girona will be in good shape this season and compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the table.

If they manage to sign Mbappe or another good striker then I'm quite happy. At the moment they are in trouble and bad at striker. Joselu didn't become a good solution, he wasted a lot of opportunities. If Madrid are able to sign Haaland or Mbaape it could be incredible. But until now there is no news of offers for other players. It even seems that they have made a final submission proposal for Mbaape but there has been no official news.

Real Madrid will probably lose the lead to Girona after a draw away to Betis.Real Madrid could have won the game after losing points away from home after a long time but luck was not on their side.

Real Betis played very well in this match and they deserve 1 point  from this match. At the same time, this match proved once again that the Madrid team is still completely dependent on  Bellingham's performance. If  Bellingham and Modrich do not play well, it will be difficult for Madrid to win any match. Madrid will definitely need  to add a perfect striker to the squad in the next winter transfer window.

Villarreal's performance this season has been very poor. This team has lost 8 out of 16 matches. Villarreal can't win against Real Sociedad it's already been predicted. But since the match was Villarreal's home match, I thought it would be a competitive match. But the players of Villarreal could not build any resistance against Real Sociedad.

However, it looks like this will be quite difficult because Barcelona is not an opponent that Girona can easily beat.

As I predicted before, even though Real Betis is not a club that can beat Real Madrid, Real Betis can take advantage of the opportunity by maximizing the draw and it turns out that this match ended in a draw as I said before. Even though many people thought this was a match which was quite easy for Real Madrid but it turned out that Real Madrid couldn't create more than one goal opportunity until finally Real Betis equalized in the 66th minute.
Real Madrid must be forced to be satisfied with this result for the time being. Real Madrid is still leading the top of the standings, but tomorrow we will see if there is a change in position with the match between Barcelona vs Girona. If Girona is able to win the match then Girona can return to the lead, but if they draw/lose, not there is a change in position, Girona will remain in 2nd place behind Real Madrid and Barcelona will still be in 3rd place, maybe by adding points either 1 or 3.

In terms of ranking, you'd want to bring Valencia before Getefe, for the past two seasons, they've just been on a strong decline and are yet to rise up back from them slumber. Getefe is a team I just recently followed all because of Mason Greenwood movements into that club. I can't not say nothing about them. Anyways they deserved the win they had more goal attempts than Valancia. Sevilla also lost to Marllorca last night, I'm hoping they don't take this pattern to the Champions League against Lens because it'll be the last game of the season and they'll be knocked out.

Real Madrid should be having two of them players back in this squad this month. As said by the Boss! ( Carlo Ancellotti ) Camavinga and Vinicius Junior would be back next month!

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, strikers are their current needs, because the players they currently have are in fact unable to cover their needs in that position. A striker who can not only score goals but can provide space for other players or in other words who can create space.
If Mbappe joins the squad, of course this is good news, because he can be the answer to all Real Madrid's current needs. But apart from Mbappe, they should also target other players, because if they fail to bring Mbappe, they still have other players they can recruit.

[Zanab247]

It was a tough battle yesterday that made Real Madrid to ended up draw 1:1 with Real Betis that make them to share the points which was my prediction and, it came to pass. Now that such bad news has happened to Real Madrid in this period show that Girona will embrace the opportunity to take over the position from Real Madrid because they are in a second position with a little gap which it will give access to Girona if they will be able to win their next game this week.

If Real Betis can maintain this tactics they used yesterday to drag Real Madrid who are the strongest team in the la Liga league competition, it prove that they will win this trophy this season to break some record they have been looking for  to break in the past.

[Plaguedeath]

Betis is rarely to lose, the match might end in draw since it hosted in Real Betis's home. The other teams can only score 1-2 goals to Real Betis, nothing more, so Betis has a strong defensive strategy.

I'm sure Madrid will win against Real Betis later, especially since Madrid's performance this season is much better than last season, in fact Madrid has only lost once so far.

See that?

We need to being objective to judge the performance of every team, not influenced by the popularity of the team. Actually Betis should able to beat Real Madrid, but they're just not lucky enough and only scored one goal from six big chances.

Both Madrid and Barcelona will always dominating La Liga, but it doesn't mean they would never lose or draw against other teams.
