La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[marcous]

~~ Snip ~~

That's why Real Madrid just needs to focus on their match. because there were drawn at the previous match, so it cannot be in first position. And they must not fail again in this match against Villareal. And indeed, Villarreal is not a weak team, but at least Real Madrid is statistically still above Villarreal, so as long as Real Madrid can optimize all their chances, they can win.

The matches this week are interesting to monitor. the article apart from Atletico who have to lose points in this weeks  match, Barcrlona must also be willing with 1 point even though their momentum in this weeks  match is quite good.
Atletico had to accept the harsh reality with a defeat at their home against Bilbao while Barcelona played with full dominance but indeed their problem remained the same because in the end their tiki taka was too easy to read which made  Valencia not afraid because they knew momentum was important when facing Barcelona with attacks like this that made Barcelona have to be willing to share 1 point in this week's match.

This makes Girona will become too comfortable if today  Madrid does not play well so inevitably for now Madrid must be able to get 3 points in their home match today. because its important especially 2 of their rivals play badly so it would be great if Madrid get full points and continue the competition with Girona. 

Really Barcelona made it hard for me to speak, and the ATM also made my predictions go wrong. What happened was very difficult to accept, the result was unimaginable, the way the two clubs lost points never crossed our minds. Happiness enveloped Girona and Madrid, even though they were not completely safe, Barcelona draw and ATM defeat reduced the pressure on them at the top of the standings.

ATM still has one match postponed against Sevilla, which if they win will give Diego Simeone squad the opportunity to overtake Barcelona again. On paper, ATM can secure full points in this match, because Sevilla is also experiencing more severe difficulties. This situation means that Barcelona is stuck in defending the title, the point difference will continue to be created if they draw a lot.

Apart from that, Madrid will face Villarreal, while Girona will face Alavez. It is very likely that this match will be won by both home teams, which means they will strengthen their position in the points table for a while. I don't think there will be any surprises, and trip them up like Barcelona and ATM.

Xavi think he's Zinedine Zidane, but he's actually Frank Lampard

He's only play in 3 teams, he doesn't get a lot experience and good adaption when there's something wrong with his team, so he will keep use a same strategy over and over, he's not dare to make a big movement.

It's time to wait Barcelona get destroyed because of poor management.

I don't know. Actually in his first times Xavi made a really big impact on Barcelona's performance. The team recovered very much after that horrible Koeman period and they won the La Liga title as well. But now it is true that they are inconsistent in the league recently. They have qualified for last 16 round in the Champions  League on one hand.

But if they can't be competitive enough for the La Liga title this season then I'm curious about what the board would think about his future. His current contract ends in the summer of 2025. I feel like he would have another chance because of making this  team champions in the La Liga previously.

[Hanadawa]

Barcelona were playing good football and winning their La Liga matches at the start of the La Liga season, but all of a sudden they started struggling to score goals in all competition. Barcelona's poor performance made them lose their last match in the Uefa Champions League. If Real Madrid wins against Villarreal today, they will be 7 points clear of Barcelona in the La Liga table.

Barcelona leads group H in the Champions League. But they performed less well when compared to other big teams. They also performed quite poorly in La Liga with only 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in the last 5 matches. That leaves them 4 points behind Madrid. And if Madrid gets a win against Villareal, it will be 7 points. Which in my opinion in Laliga is quite a big difference in points. It looks like the competition for the title will belong to Madrid and Girona. And Madrid has the biggest opportunity here.

[HajiBagi]

Barcelona's position in La Liga was excellent last season. But compared to last season, Barcelona's performance has decreased this season. I watched the whole Valencia vs Barcelona game last night. Both teams fought hard to win this match. Barcelona scored first in the 55th minute to take a 1-0 lead. And in the 70th minute of the game, Valencia scored a goal to equalize the match. Valencia played a very difficult role in this match. Barcelona's players were unable to attack properly due to Valencia's strong defense. Due to a 1-1 draw, the points were shared between the two teams. Surprisingly, despite Barcelona dominating the game in the second half, they could not take full points in this match.

Barcelona's players are too self-centered when it comes to playing football, and even though they have talent that many other teams in the league lack, they are still unable to score goals. Barcelona also has a younger population than Real Madrid, which is likely the reason behind their selfish tactics. I can even wager that Barcelona will not be able to win any trophies this season. I didn't find anything wrong with the team's coach because he was doing everything he could to ensure that the players could play well. All of Barcelona's players were involved in the match, but they were unable to defeat Valencia, a team that Real Madrid was enjoying themselves with.

Lewandowski's age will be a common criticism.Since he is unable to perform as well as he once could, why did Barcelona choose to purchase him from Bayern Munich without taking his age into consideration? Lewandowski can still play well; the young players on the team are just being egotistical. I predicted that Barcelona would win because Athletic Bilbao defeated Atletico Madrid, giving them the chance to play well and score more points. Barcelona is only ahead of Atletico Madrid by a single point, but nothing changes in my opinion because Atletico Madrid outperforms Barcelona.

[odunybiz]

I never knew Barcelona would be finding it very hard to get a goal in this encounter against Valencia and it seems like Barcelona are gradually getting weak by the day. I don't see them having that force to make teams pay, like making them lose possession of the ball.
The second half shouldn't end like the first half did, I believe that Valencia would be pleased with the result if they have to end the game in a draw. At this point Xavi needs to make some changes to make the team start getting goals in all games because if you noticed in the champions league they (Barcelona) didn't play like they used to, even the game before the champions league game against the league leaders Girona, they couldn't keep up with the pressure that was on them.
I won't say Barcelona would win but if that happens, they need to go and come back with a better plan in their next game.

Barcelona's poor performance made them lose their last match in the Uefa Champions League. If Real Madrid wins against Villarreal today, they will be 7 points clear of Barcelona in the La Liga table.

I believe real Madrid should claim another 3 points from Villarreal today. Real Madrid has remain unbeaten in 25 of their 26 most recent home matches in La Liga. So I expect a win from home today as well.

[hyudien]

Overall, Barcelona actually performed well in this match. It's just that Balde and Kounde didn't play at their best, perhaps because of Xavi's rotation. Instead of wanting to increase the aggressiveness of Barcelona's attack by withdrawing Joao Felix, who was replaced by Torres, Gundohan was withdrawn and replaced by Lamine Yamal. With the hope that these two substitute players could contribute, the opposite happened, Ferran Torres underperformed. Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal, naturally, only played 9 minutes. in other words, Barcelona must be satisfied with minor results and share points with Valencia. and as a Barcelona supporter, I was quite disappointed with the 3 matches they played in two different events. Well, Xavi should be able to improve his squad. After all, Barcelona didn't play badly, but the problem was that they had difficulty scoring goals or lots of goals. In the future, I hope Xavi finds the ideal system and formula for his squad.

If only player rotation had not been carried out, perhaps the results would have been a little different because in terms of effectiveness, Gundogan and Felix were quite sharp. However, unfortunately, Xavi took a decision that was quite detrimental so that sharing the points is actually not very good in their current position. Barcelona has collected 35 points which can still be overtaken by Atletico Madrid with 1 match remaining. It seems that Xavi is currently facing a lot of problems that have an impact on his fate at Barcelona, based on rumors that Xavi could potentially be fired. Indeed, statistically, Xavi has shown a decline this season, and not only that the relationship between Laporta and Xavi is increasingly strained.

If you look at Girona's current performance, Girona can definitely win this match, especially since Girona will play at home. Girona will definitely continue to create a winning streak, so far they have been able to play very well and beat other clubs in La Liga, big teams or mediocre teams and being able to beat Barcelona in this away match is a big achievement and should be appreciated because this club really cannot be underestimated by any team at the moment.

Exactly, Girona has a big chance to win here. Not only because they are very on fire based on their various match results so far, but judging from the squad, Girona also has things that are more solid, quite tough, and possibly more consistent. As long as Girona don't underestimate their opponents and they consistently improve their performance, then next game, they shouldn't experience much difficulty. And I am very sure that Girona will not underestimate their opponents. Because they have tried so far and they are used to being in the bottom position in the past, so they will continue to try more optimally this season. This is a very big achievement for them.

Girona is a team that is always alert and will not take its opponents lightly. Even though against Alaves the probability of victory is quite high, it doesn't make Michel relax, remembering that he still has a lot of work to do to distance himself from Real Madrid pursuit, the narrow point difference requires Girona to continue doing their best until they can truly be said to be safe at the top of the standings.

Barcelona's poor performance made them lose their last match in the Uefa Champions League. If Real Madrid wins against Villarreal today, they will be 7 points clear of Barcelona in the La Liga table.

I am absolutely not happy with the performance of Barcelona as a star club in the league. But of course, you cannot always have it all good all the time. There are periods of imbalances and it happens across every aspect of life not just football. Especially when we're in a competition like this. A club's deficiency can easily be translated to another club's strength that they will use to excel throughout the season. I advise Barcelona to work harder to reclaim their position else they will be displaced in this season of league.

Girona are already showing great talent and resilience to the games they've played so far and I can't imagine how great they will become if they can claim this year's La Liga league. That will help a lot in boosting the team's recognition amongst the other clubs in the season and the world as an entirety. Girona is trying to break into that league of star and shining clubs. It takes great effort to own a space in that league as you will have to work extra hard to shine in a league like La Liga. Well done guys. Let Barcelona work harder. Xavi has the batton in his hands.

Girona is the most underrated team in La Liga among the big teams. I once heard a podcast that said that Girona is like other mediocre teams where they can only be in first place for a few matches and will return to the middle of the standings over time. But currently, when the Spanish league has played 16 matches, they are still in first place. That proves that they are actually a very solid team. But honestly, I still doubt whether they will be able to lift the trophy or not. Because I think Madrid has the biggest chance of lifting the trophy this season.

Girona is not the favorite this season to compete for the La Liga title this season, but Girona proved its strength in the Spanish League and opened up to everyone who underestimated it, that Girona is capable of being a strong competitor for Real Madrid's class, not just Madrid, even Girona is able to beat Barcelona with a score of 2-4 doesn't that prove that Girona is able to prove that they have an ordinary squad, but have a spartan spirit that can finish off their enemies at any time, even though they only have a limited number of players...

Regarding the current class position, it is a bonus for the Girona squad in silencing the mouths that belittle them at several events. I know that even in several big media talking about the Girona club, so this is proof from Girona that they are capable of being in first place in the class. La Liga until the middle or until the end of this season to lift your first La Liga hat and experience playing in the European League.

Barça could not hold on to the victory, which was a shame because they dominated and had many good chances to score more. I would say that Barcelona has some kind of streak of bad luck, and of course Real will take advantage of this, if they win today over Villarreal, their advantage will already be 7 points, it may be impossible to win back such a difference.

Villarreal is not very strong this season, especially since this match will be an away game for Villarreal, so it is very likely that Real Madrid will be able to beat Villarreal at the Bernabeu stadium. Moreover, Real Madrid wants to return to leading the standings, of course they have to be able to win this match. Bellingham is also in his best form and he often makes a big contribution in every match so in the match against Villarreal I am sure he will score a goal in this match.

Vilarreal have struggled to win in several matches, even their ranking is becoming less secure on the standings. I hope the bookie gives good odds in this match because betting on Real Madrid has less risk in this match. Maybe Real Madrid can score a lot of goals in this match because Villarreal defense is not very strong recently.

Barcelona has been declining a lot. The came of new players were not giving significant contribution. Barcelona is only relying upon felix to save the club from the lose. Look at some players. Lewandowski is struggling with his performance as well as other players too.
There have been many important players were injured. This was also adding more problems to the barcelona. The club is trying to fix the problem through use the available backup but these backup were not having same quality as the main player.

Im concerning about the financial issues of barcelona too. This club almost lost its ability to recruit the new players before it was selling the players first.
Barcelona will not able to get the new player without selling the old player first.

Even when Villarreal is not in their best form they know how to play a club like Real Madrid and get a point from them, just like what Valencia did to Barcelona yesterday. However, I will still choose Real Madrid to win against Villarreal since they are playing at home. Real Madrid will not enter the top of La Liga today, because Girona will beat Alaves to remain at the top of La Liga table.

It seems that Barcelona has indeed failed to catch up and that is why against Valencia it looks very difficult for them to get full points, even though if you look statistically at Valencia's performance in the last five matches they are not very good but why Barcelona couldn't beat them and had to be held to a draw by Valencia , I think it should be a big correction in the defensive side as well that Xavi has to improve.

Girona and Madrid are two clubs that will compete fully at the top of the standings so Barcelona will have difficulty catching up, I think Madrid will also get full points against Villarreal and Girona against Alaves later, of course winning both will create a complicated gap for Barcelona to win. chase him unless both of them run into problems and have bad luck.

[rendravolt]

It seems like I'm quite behind and yes it's all because Barcelona can only draw against Valencia. Even though this is an away match for Barcelona, it is not appropriate for them to play a draw. Even though Joao Felix opened the scoring for Barcelona first, Valencia didn't want to be left behind and they immediately equalized.

Even though there were still quite a few minutes left before the match ended, Barcelona were also unable to complete their mission and in the end the score ended at 1-1. This result will also make it more difficult for Barcelona to compete for the title because they will be increasingly left behind by Girona and Real Madrid. So I don't know whether Barcelona will immediately look for a replacement for Xavi for the remainder of the season or continue to entrust the job of Barcelona coach to him.

Girona are in a much better position and 6 points ahead of Barcelona although this payment is not a major problem.  Because it is possible to overcome this gap only if we win the next few matches.  Barcelona's team management is good enough that they play well in almost regular matches.  Because of this, Barcelona can still be considered as a potential team.  Barcelona's biggest rival is Real Madrid, so it will be difficult for Barcelona to play against them.

Valencia defended very well in the match and they were rewarded for it. They managed to stop most of Barcelona's attacks. Actually, while watching the match, I thought Valencia could win because Barcelona cannot play as expected. In fact, there has been a problem in the team for a long time and they cannot do what they want.

It is not good for a team with a championship goal to lose points at this stage of the league. If they lose points in the next matches, they will move away from the championship race.

I also watched the match between Bacelona and Valencia, Barcelona had many opportunities to get lots of goals in this match, but all of them could not be utilized properly by Barcelona's front line and were wasted. You are right that Barcelona has had bad luck in some games. Of course, this will be a golden opportunity for Girona and Real Madrid to maintain their ranking at the top of the standings. I am sure that Barcelona will not be able to compete with Real Madrid and Girona to move to the top of the standings. It will be the biggest challenge to win the next match to stay in third place this season.

Luka Modric is playing his final days with Real Madrid. Modric's 12-year relationship has officially ended. The time he turned 38. Many times, he expressed his disappointment at losing his starting position. While other midfielders at the Santiago Bernabeu have certainly impressed, especially Jude. Injuries to Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni have given Modric more playing time. However, if the French duo recovers and Dani Ceballos regains his playing rhythm, Modric is just a replacement for tired young players.

I think that after leaving Madrid, Modric will probably move to Inter Miami. Before that, I saw Modric and President David Beckham meet many times.

This is the first time I’ve heard about this and in fact it’s hard for me to imagine Modric and Messi in the same team. It seems to me that their playing roles overlap greatly and, unlike Messi, Modric, even at his age, does a lot of grunt work, but the most important thing is that he runs and does not wait in pedestrian mode for good opportunities. And I also remember when Modric was asked in an interview which of the most difficult opponents you had to play against, he said that it was Iniesta  I don’t think that Messi’s PR has a strong influence on Modric and I don’t think that it will be easy for them to get along in the same team. I rather expect that Modric will go to Saudi Arabia - there he will receive more money, plus after all, there he will be able to play at a good level.

Today's game schedule is quite interesting - you can start watching football at lunchtime and finish late at night, it's a pity that, as always, one game is scheduled for Sunday and therefore I won't find out the results in the poll today.
I wonder why the chances of Atlético against Athletic are rated so low:

2.35 - 3.38 - 2.88

In all statistical indicators, Atlético is better, and even though this is an away game, it seems to me that Atlético should be the favorite.

At home, Athletic Bilbao has had a series of consecutive unbeaten matches, including 5 wins. On the opposite side, Atletico Madrid only brought home 1 victory in the past 4 away trips. Despite possessing a stronger squad of players, coach Simeone's team failed. Leading two goals helped Athletic Bilbao control the match until the end of the hour. With this victory, they are ranked 5th, only 2 points behind Atletico and the 4th ranked team, Barcelona, even though both teams played little. More than 1 match. And at home at San Mames, they showed no fear against Atletico. They trounced Atletico.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have stumbled in the La Liga championship race. Even though Atletico lost, they were only 1 point behind Barcelona and played one less match.

[Oluwa-btc]

It seems like I'm quite behind and yes it's all because Barcelona can only draw against Valencia. Even though this is an away match for Barcelona, it is not appropriate for them to play a draw. Even though Joao Felix opened the scoring for Barcelona first, Valencia didn't want to be left behind and they immediately equalized.

Even though there were still quite a few minutes left before the match ended, Barcelona were also unable to complete their mission and in the end the score ended at 1-1. This result will also make it more difficult for Barcelona to compete for the title because they will be increasingly left behind by Girona and Real Madrid. So I don't know whether Barcelona will immediately look for a replacement for Xavi for the remainder of the season or continue to entrust the job of Barcelona coach to him.

I saw this game and it was indeed a game Barcelona should have scored four to five goals in the game. Robert Lewandoski not bad and declining as people always say here. He was in the right direction and position but the Valencia goalkeeper was just brilliant to save most of his efforts which could've been a goal. Infact, I didn't see a selfish player last night, they worked hard as a team. Same way Felix scored should have been recreated but Raphina didn't square pass the ball to the far end.

Beautiful goal from Hugo, it was his first goal of the season and I know the feeling of scoring against a big side. The defenders of Valancia caused Robert Lewandoski issues so he dropped deep to support the winger's with those passes. Raphina should have scored to seal the win but the substuted player who came into the game made a great blockage.

[slapper]

Why should they focus on other clubs' matches when they also have matches that are a bit troublesome.
Although it is true that Villarreal can be said to have declined since Unai Emery didnt  coach this club but they are still a little inconvenient although not as scary as the previous few seasons.

That's why Real Madrid just needs to focus on their match. because there were drawn at the previous match, so it cannot be in first position. And they must not fail again in this match against Villareal. And indeed, Villarreal is not a weak team, but at least Real Madrid is statistically still above Villarreal, so as long as Real Madrid can optimize all their chances, they can win.

If you look at Girona's current performance, Girona can definitely win this match, especially since Girona will play at home. Girona will definitely continue to create a winning streak, so far they have been able to play very well and beat other clubs in La Liga, big teams or mediocre teams and being able to beat Barcelona in this away match is a big achievement and should be appreciated because this club really cannot be underestimated by any team at the moment.

Exactly, Girona has a big chance to win here. Not only because they are very on fire based on their various match results so far, but judging from the squad, Girona also has things that are more solid, quite tough, and possibly more consistent. As long as Girona don't underestimate their opponents and they consistently improve their performance, then next game, they shouldn't experience much difficulty. And I am very sure that Girona will not underestimate their opponents. Because they have tried so far and they are used to being in the bottom position in the past, so they will continue to try more optimally this season. This is a very big achievement for them.

I support Girona. Its thrilling to watch them exceed expectations, especially after beating Barcelona at Nou Camp. Being two points ahead of Real Madrid and six over Barcelona is impressive. Increasing the gap with Barcelona to nine points is more exciting. This may decide La Liga! I like their offense, but their defense is weak. Getting to the top requires tightening up at the back. Their next match is essential for keeping Real Madrid under pressure and the league intriguing. They should get those three points, but dont relax. Girona's defense must match their offensive to make an impact in La Liga.
