La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Barcelona have been poor lately after failing to win any if their last 3 matches in all competitions before today’s match against Almeria. They got lucky to win the match today, Almeria also showed they cannot be underrated and fought hard but they couldn’t get any points today. Barcelona really needs to up their game else they will get nowhere, they currently 3rd position in the La Liga and got promoted to the Champions league round of 16 but the question is with this form can they go far beyond the knockout stage? Can they even win Napoli? I think they can if they try their their best because Napoli is also not performing well.

Barcelona's recent performance has been a little more disappointing because they got less than satisfactory results in the previous two matches, losing against Gorona, drawing against Valencia and only winning the last match against Almeria. But in this victory I saw that their strength was still quite weak and Almeria could even give the match a draw if they really took advantage of the last opportunity before the match was over.

In the round of 16 they will face Napoli and for Xavi Hernandez, this is an important match so that they are not eliminated in the next round. Napoli is not an easy opponent even though their current performance is not much better than Barcelona, but Barcelona must be quite wary of the surprises that Napoli will give them.

But in this victory I saw that their strength was still quite weak and Almeria could even give the match a draw if they really took advantage of the last opportunity before the match was over.

Barcelona have problems with both attacking and defense systems. Their attacking power looks to be weaker than the last season but it is less severe than problems in their defense system. This weak defense costs them 21 conceded goals after 18 matches. These conceded goals are even one goal more than total conceded goals they got in the last season. This season has one more match to complete its first half and this stats is a strong evidence of their problems in defense.

In the round of 16 they will face Napoli and for Xavi Hernandez, this is an important match so that they are not eliminated in the next round. Napoli is not an easy opponent even though their current performance is not much better than Barcelona, but Barcelona must be quite wary of the surprises that Napoli will give them.

Napoli are very energetic and they are getting problems with attacking because Osimhen and Kravatskhelia are playing worse than last season. However, with weak defense system of Barcelona, those players can exploit it and bring troubles to Barcelona.

The way I see it, they are seriously joking with their title chase and now that Girona is hot on the table, if they continue like this they won't even stand a chance. The game was a very annoying one and I know that big teams misbehave but this was like they were confidently fucking up. The season is still fresh and I'm certain if this continues like this, smaller teams will not be afraid to stand up to them. Take Girona for instance, they may be the table toppers now, but compared to last season, they weren't even worthy to tie the laces of Barcelona but you could imagine how they thrashed them 4-2.
 I'd have to admit that the laliga is tough and unpredictable this time around and it will leave many guessing as to who would end up the winner.

To me I'd just let Barcelona be, haven't you noticed that there's a new sheriff in town? Girona are the hot cake in la Liga currently and they're not just going to sit at the top of the table and watch either Barcelona or Madrid come out from nowhere and start reducing their point and drag them down the table. The 4-2 win against Barcelona is a well deserved win because in that game between Barcelona vs Girona I don't see Barcelona trying to get goals to punish the league leaders, they (Barcelona) was just being soft, same thing would have happened against Almeria just that the way team wasn't that strong to replicate what happened in the game against Girona.
These days Barcelona are just in a struggling mode and I bet  you for free that no club would want to lose against them (Barcelona) without giving them a very strong fight.

One thing to consider is the form of the team,if Napoli are not in form,,then Barca will punish them when they meet,I know that Barcelona is a great team that will always qualify from the group stage to the round of 16,but I totally doubt if they can qualify from this round of 16 because Napoli is never going to let them win,I stead,they will fight to eliminate Barca.It is true that Napoli really dropped form this season compared to last season when they won their league tittle,but that is what happens in football,sometimes the results will be very good,while sometimes,better,also sometimes worst,but as long as the team continues to work hard in training,? The form will definitely come back.

My point exactly! This brings me to the times when xavi the coach was still a player and there were the likes of Messi, Puyol and other greats. You dare not play carelessly when you meet Barca because they will punish you and back then there was more seriousness in the game than now. I look at them now and I feel upset that they no longer play with confidence that even the El clasico is no longer fun and competitive anymore and you'd tell me that they can stand a chance at defeating Girona again? Not a chance! If a club like Almeria can get two goals out of them, who knows what will happen of the league toppers. At this moment even Real Madrid with their crop of good players are intimidated by Girona.
 Maybe Xavi needs to go back to the drawing board and rearrange his tactics. I wonder if they will continue like this when they meet Napoli in champions league.

Every club has a period of glory when they will have some of the best players and fortunately win diverse prestigious trophies. Xavi Hernandez is not doing badly as a coach haven helped the club to win the La Liga last season, qualifying for the Champions League second round and currently in the third position in the La Liga. He needs more time to build the club to the level most fans want. In the game between Barca and Almería, the host missed a lot of goal-scoring opportunities and they were lucky to win the game.

However, the most important thing is to get the three points which they have secured. Barca is currently six points below Girona but has played one more game. As for the second round Champions League, both club clubs play attacking football, but Napoli has some of the strongest strikers currently in Europe.

[asriloni]

Barcelona are winning and look to see out the game, but their overall play has not been convincing at all. Struggling against teams like Almeria who are sitting at the bottom of the table means they will find it very difficult to make it to the quarter finals against Napoli in the champions league.

Remains to be seen if the squad is boosted during the January transfer window.

It is a pity that Barcelona struggled to beat Almeria who has not won any of their matches in La Liga this season, and Almeria even scored 2 goals against Barcelona yesterday. If Barcelona continues like this they will not qualify for the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.

It seems barcelona needs to prepare a new coach to replace xavi. Im feeling xavi will be failed to deliver some trophies this season. I think that is going to be the best for barcelont to replace him with a new coach.
There are so many issues occured to the barcelona. The main problem was with its financial condition. I meant barcelona is not having good financial and it was also making the situation becomes even worst than before. Barcelona must have sold so many players to pay various things.
The club has big debts combined with the money owe from other clubs. It comes as yet another surprise to learn that Barcelona is actually considering the possibility of selling Lewandowski to a club in the Saudi Pro League. I think that barcelona is still in a very big pressure.
barcelona was just taking the short term solution to the its financial issues but the club forgot that there will be a problem that is coming to the club in long term. barcelona needs money as soon as possible or it will be a worst situation.
Barcelona may have no good players left since club will try to put all of them for sale. The current situation is unfortunate for both Barcelona and Laporta, as it is a result of mismanagement within the internal structure of the club itself.

if Xavi is given the freedom to bring in players to his team, without considering the club's finances. I believe Xavi can make Barca dominate La Liga.
Even if it's a good coach when they run into financial problems at the club. it will not be easy to manage their players to play as well as Barca.
Xavi has done his best. regardless of whether the assessment of the team's current performance has decreased or not. However, everyone sees how good his quality is in coaching.

Barcelona's game in the last few matches has been very bad, and not like the Barcelona we know.
Yesterday they were almost unable to win against Almeria, even though Almeria is the bottom of La Liga.
Xavi's position is threatened, because Barcelona will also face a tough match in the Champions League. Like it or not, Barca has to prepare a new coach to achieve optimal results.
Because with the composition of star players, Barca should be able to win every match that looks easier to beat.

[HajiBagi]

Barcelona had a really big difficulty in beating Almeria. Whenever they got ahead there was an answer by Almeria but finally Barcelona managed to win after getting ahead the third time.    Lewandowski was silent about scoring a goal today but at least he made an assist. This win was really important for Xavi indeed considering their recent form.

They lost five points in their previous two games in the end. If they lost points in this game as well then probably the point gap with Girona and Real Madrid both would have been wider. But this season will be really tough for Barcelona anyway. I don't feel like they will be able to win the La Liga title.  

Congrats to Barcelona for winning this match! After losing to Girona and drawing their last game, Barcelona has finally triumphed over them. However, the fans are not impressed with their performance. Yesterday, Barcelona played Almeria again, and although they struggle to defeat them, in the end, they were fortunate to win. I wouldn't say that Barcelona's victory was calculated; rather, I think that if there is enough time after Barcelona's third goal, Almeria will score a goal again and the match will end in a draw.

What bothers me about Barcelona's performance is that, despite having many players who are healthy, they are still unable to play well. Lewandowski, in particular, is not able to play like he did before. He came to Barcelona because of balloon Dior, and he also believed that Messi would help him score goals by providing an assist. However, Messi left Barcelona when Lewandowski arrived, leaving him with nothing left. As a result, I believe he will never win balloon Dior again because the young players in Barcelona are unable to support him.

Because with the composition of star players, Barca should be able to win every match that looks easier to beat.

Barcelona mainstay players experienced a decline in performance, such as Lewandowski and Felix, who were initially Xavi mainstays, but who knows what caused their performance to decline, causing the attack line performance to be less than optimal, even the scorer was not the result of Xavi mainstay players and the problems with Barcelona defenders in yesterday's match were very bad often he doesn't focus on where the ball is going and how to block it and Xavi should be able to know this and immediately fix it because if this poor defense will have an impact on the match in the UCL or will affect the future in La Liga.

on the one hand, this will be a tough task for Xavi who currently has to fix this ugliness and I am sure Xavi will bring in more quality defenders to be able to survive in the UCL match or if not Barcelona will fail more quickly because in the initial match of the round of 16 later. have to face Napoli and we all know how that team will be if Barcelona doesn't get up soon it looks like they will fail early.

It is a pity that Barcelona struggled to beat Almeria who has not won any of their matches in La Liga this season, and Almeria even scored 2 goals against Barcelona yesterday. If Barcelona continues like this they will not qualify for the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.

But at least they managed to secure these 3 points which are certainly quite important, and looking at the results of this match shows the weakness of Barcelona's defense which was also shown in several previous matches because their goal was always conceded in five matches and only when they won over Atletico Madrid Barcelona's goal was not conceded.
In the Champions League, Barcelona will face a fairly tight match against Napoli, but it is still quite a long way to go so there is time for Barcelona to improve its current weaknesses. However, with the economic problems facing the club, what will they be able to do in the transfer market? It is quite doubtful that there will be any players they will buy to strengthen their front line and also their defense line, so Barcelona will face the same difficulties this season.

Barcelona's "unacceptable" performance.  Xavi's team struggled to win 3-2 against winless and bottom-ranked opponent Almeria. Xavi's students launched 30 shots and A lucky win against the bottom team. His team lacks spirit and does not have the same spirit as last season. There is no concentration.
Perhaps they overslept after the double La Liga title and Spanish Super Cup last season. Barcelona's current situation in La Liga is tough, as they are far behind Girona and Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, it is an almost impossible task for Xavi and his team to advance far in the Champions League. Knowing that on Napoli's side, there is also little possibility to defeat Barcelona.

Real Betis vs Girona it will going to be a tough match but Real Betis will be the team that will embrace victory from the match, because they know how to use some strange tactics in their home to defeat their opponent which will be one of the advantage they will apply to defeat Girona in this match. I know Girona has done well in this season to handle the first position in two matches for the victory they got from other teams but it will not be easy for them in this match to succeed again because Real Betis players will not allow such thing to happen than to disgrace them with 2-0 for the favour of Real Betis. Deportivo Alaves vs Real Madrid will not going to be a tough match and Real Madrid will take victory from this match to return back to first position in the la Liga league table to make their fans happy again.

The match between Real Betis vs Girona is interesting, why? based on head to head, Girona haven't win any single match against Real Betis, Real Betis was able to beat Girona for 9 times. The odds is completely 50/50, considering how Girona's performance is very promising in this season, I guess this will be the first win for Girona. Real Betis has a good defend, I expect it's only 1-2 goals created by Girona.

It is a pity that Barcelona struggled to beat Almeria who has not won any of their matches in La Liga this season, and Almeria even scored 2 goals against Barcelona yesterday. If Barcelona continues like this they will not qualify for the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.

This has to show you how badly the team is playing now. There has been crisis at the club, and the one everyone know is their financial challenges. But they can't continue to struggle to get results. I wasn't expecting them to conced that number of goal against Almeria. They have to bring in some defenders to boast their defense in the January transfer window if they are to far in the Champions league or even make top 4 this season

[dzungmobile]

But at least they managed to secure these 3 points which are certainly quite important, and looking at the results of this match shows the weakness of Barcelona's defense which was also shown in several previous matches because their goal was always conceded in five matches and only when they won over Atletico Madrid Barcelona's goal was not conceded.

They must have a winning and get three points to race with Girona and Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid. A convincing winning or not convincing winning is not important, three points at the final whistle means all and they got it. This winning also helps Barcelona to temporary exit their mini crisis and buy some time to improve themselves in coming days.

In the Champions League, Barcelona will face a fairly tight match against Napoli, but it is still quite a long way to go so there is time for Barcelona to improve its current weaknesses. However, with the economic problems facing the club, what will they be able to do in the transfer market? It is quite doubtful that there will be any players they will buy to strengthen their front line and also their defense line, so Barcelona will face the same difficulties this season.

Their matches with Napoli will be very tight and Barcelona must tighten their defense in those matches. Napoli are weaker than the past season but they still have dangerous attacking players who can tear Barcelona defense system in a good day.

If Barcelona want to beat Napoli, they must focus on their defense because if they don't get conceded goals, I believe their attacking players will have opportunities and are able to score goals, winning goals for the team.

[lalabotax]

if Xavi is given the freedom to bring in players to his team, without considering the club's finances. I believe Xavi can make Barca dominate La Liga.
Even if it's a good coach when they run into financial problems at the club. it will not be easy to manage their players to play as well as Barca.
Xavi has done his best. regardless of whether the assessment of the team's current performance has decreased or not. However, everyone sees how good his quality is in coaching.

It seems like not only Xavi but every coach will be the same. Because that is the challenge of every coach. For this reason, each club definitely has its own challenges and it is the coach's job to optimize the existing squad. And the problem is that Barcelona is used to being a giant La Liga club that always competes closely with Real Madrid. Therefore, the demands now are certainly the same, while the conditions currently facing Xavi at Barcelona are completely different. But at least, it would be great if Xavi had tried his best and brought Barcelona through to the UCL group qualification this season.

Napoli is not an easy opponent even though their current performance is not much better than Barcelona, but Barcelona must be quite wary of the surprises that Napoli will give them.

Barcelona's defense began to play significantly worse in recent matches, and since Xavi has always been focused on defensive play, this immediately affected their results. Barcelona's attack since Xavi's arrival has generally been relatively weak and with good defending it has produced results, but now things have worsened.

Girona will have a difficult match with Betis away today, let me remind you that a few rounds ago Real lost points in the match with Betis, so Girona should be very careful with such a dangerous opponent.

I think Barcelona victory is not extraordinary because Barcelona should have been able to put pressure on Almeria and try not to concede a goal. In fact, I saw that Almeria didn't seem to have too much difficulty breaking into Barcelona's defense because they only took a few shots towards goal but were able to score 2 goals, whereas Barcelona, who took more shots didn't put much pressure even though in the end Barcelona was able to score 3 goals for this win, even though I hoped Barcelona would can maintain their defense not to concede a goal. Maybe if it wasn't for luck that was still on Barcelona side, the match could have ended in a draw.

I'm not really sure about Barcelona current performance. Napoli cannot be underestimated, even though Napoli is not very stable, Barcelona condition is also not very stable, so this is quite a difficult match for both of them to fight for the next round.
