La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Velvet78]

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.  

Defending the tittle was my honest wish, from the start I've always rooted for them to defend the title bit injuries affected Barcelona. Though, I would say that they didn't start the season strongly. They struggled like we didn't expect and it affected how they played in La Liga and partly Champions League.
Tue management backing Xavi Hernandez makes sense, that's the right call to make, it won't be just nice throwing off a manager who won you the tittle last season. Besides, Barcelona are good at giving them legends time for upgrades and change.

They should level up and stop all of this unnecessary comparisons with Girona. Ain't it shameful? They should be doing this with Real Madrid and not Girona TBH!!

I hope Barcelona can make that improvement and send Girona below them and Real Madrid. However after seeing how desperate Barcelona were against Girona a short time ago I really don't know about whether they can do this. Losing by 4-2 is really unacceptable for Barcelona. They aren't playing their home games in their home stadium temporarily now.

This is a disadvantage for Barcelona of course but not an excuse to lose points in the games they should be able to win. Girona have a much better team performance despite having a much less valuable squad. Barcelona also need this spirit to be able to compete with them and Real Madrid both.

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

It will also be quite difficult for Barcelona to get talented new players if Barcelona is still experiencing problems with their own finances. Because in the transfer market there will definitely be many teams who want to be a part of buying the best players so the competition may only be in the finances of each team itself. Barcelona still has to fight with the players they currently have, hoping for more wins and being able to beat Atletico Madrid, which is still often an obstacle for Barcelona in the top four of La Liga.

Today we have one interesting match between Betis v Girona can Girona maintain their position in the standings? Betis is always a worrying opponent when playing at home and Girona is the strongest team in La liga, I didn't see Sportsbook favored one of them and this makes us a gambler a little confused. could Sportsbook estimate that the two teams will draw? because if the end result draw will not affect their position at the top of the standings still 3 points ahead. To place a bet we should have to wait for the match to run in the first half and observe how the two teams play.

Odds are very close between Real Betis and Girona. If we take on consideration that Real Betis won their last six games against Girona and that Betis are playing home at around 2.7 while Girona playing away at 2.5 then it shows definitely that Girona are better and at the same time, Real Betis are annoying when facing top teams as you said.
Classically, Real Betis are favourite but this season Girona showed exceptional skills and they have the upper hand in that game if they play as they used to do against Barcelona and the others.

La Liga this season is quite different than previous years with new team, Girona, being on top but also the narrow gap between the first teams in the standings. Even Athletic Bilbao joined the race for Champions League spots and Real Sociedad aren't far from them too.

Barcelona is big team and of course they have enough finances if only to be able to bring in several players in the next transfer window, and if you say that Barcelona defense does look less competitive.
By bringing in one or two defenders, it might really help and change their performance in each match, making them stronger in defense, which makes it difficult for opponents to break through their defense.
After all, Barcelona has qualified for the round of 16 and the strength of the defense line is also very important, not only improving the attack line, Xavi must think about how the squad he is training can be truly perfect on every side.

For La Liga itself, Barcelona actually doesn't seem to have good performance and of course they will be increasingly overwhelmed in fighting for the title because you can see that Girona is increasingly improving the quality of their game.
The pressure will always be there if Xavi does not immediately take firm action in changing the line-up and take the right steps in the future to improve the performance of all the line-ups he already has.

[Hanadawa]

But still, even though Almeria were not the hosts, they almost made this match end in a draw. In fact, I didn't expect Almeria to be able to score 2 goals against Barcelona. Xavi must really improve the overall performance of this team. Because in the UCL they have quite a difficult opponent to face, namely Napoli. Even though I am not a fan of Serie A football, I know that Napoli is an opponent that should not be underestimated. Last season they even qualified for the semi-finals.

Conceding 2 goals against Almeria and the match almost ending in a draw leaves Xavi with a lot of work to complete if he wants Barcelona to continue to be a team that has the potential to win the League title. I was really surprised when I watched that match where Barcelona was leading but then Almeria equalized and the score was 2-2. I almost thought would this be a draw? It would be a shame if Barcelona drew against the bottom team in the standings as hosts.

[makishart]

Barcelona are in a bad run of form.I saw them struggle to beat Almeria, who are at the bottom of the league and are certain to be relegated.I didn't expect them to struggle so much even though it was at home.I think Barcelona gave their opponent too many chances.I think it's a bad result for them that the match ended 3-2 despite playing 65% of the ball and having 30 shots at home.Of course it's important that they got 3 points, but I don't think it makes sense to have such a difficult win against an opponent who has not won yet and has 5 points after 17 games.

It's considered as a hard game for barcelona. How can barcelona with higher quality of squad almost gets draw against a weakest team in the la liga. This is an unacceptable result. Even though barcelona was winning the game but i can't even accept it.
It's not a wonderful win for barcelona. Barcelona shall able to scores a lot against almeria but it seems like that almeria was almost making barcelona to lose three points. Barcelona is still underperform even though it was winning against almeria.

You're right about that. It's an unacceptable result. The worst thing if barcelona conceded 2 goals against the weakest team in the la liga. This makes me feel doubt about the chance of barcelona to get the trophy this season.
Real madrid and girona have been fully improving their performance while barcelona is still stuck in the same place. Barcelona would win with the perfect scores combined with cleansheet but xavi's club played horrible gameplay.
Barcelona is really underperform now. Im doubthing this club once it's going to face the stronger club in the UCL as well. Barcelona is not yet ready for that event. Xavi may also sell some players during winter transfer season.

[Dzwaafu11]

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.

Barcelona performance is going poorly these days because they lost almost 3 matches and now they manage to win Almeria, which even lucky Barcelona, who was one of the best teams in the competition at the start of the season, are now performing poorly, which is disappointing to me. However, I think they should double up their performance in order to reach another stage in the competition; they should even qualify for the quarterfinal.
 
However, I’m not sure they will be able to win Napoli with their current performance because Napoli are stronger than Almeria, which means if they continue like this, they definitely won’t win Napoli because Napoli's performance cannot be compared to Almeria's, so therefore we should wait to see how Barcelona will play in their next match. I hope they do better than what they are doing now.

Im also aware about this too. The defense shall become the main concern for xavi. Barcelona is declining a lot. Im sure it will out fro UCL as well. Almeria was the weakest team in the league but barcelona must have tried so hard to win against it.
The good thing is barcelona can still win but i can't imagine how many blames are going to be recieved by xavi if barcelona lost against almeria. There will be massive blames come for xavi.
Xavi needs to take it as a point to evaluate the performance from all of defenders. Barcelona is not that strong again. There will be many players to leave from the club soon as barcelona must have sold a lot of players to pay its debt.

Barcelona player's most of em are all about themselves, they don't have that time to play the way Pep Guardiola and Johan Cruyff former player and legend for Barcelona did em. I wouldn't want to mention names but they lack what it means to be called togetherness.
For Girona, they have that same togetherness and want to fight for themselves, when chasing goal they would rather pass the ball to the next man than hang too long on it.

Barcelona though have been hit hard with injuries and it has affecy the general performance of the club. After the win yesterday, Barcelona are now six points behind league leaders, Girona draws or wins and they'll extend the gap.

Sevilla with the win also, that was a great debut to remember for the new manager who won three goals to nothing. I hope they take them to the top of the League standing.

[pusaka]

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.

Real Betis have a tough challenge after the arrival of guests who have performed well this season, but the challenge is not only on the side of Real Betis, but Girona will also get the same pressure as Real Betis. Real Betis themselves are a difficult team to beat, they have only tasted 2 defeats in La Liga, with 9 draws and 6 wins. Of course this will be a challenge for Girona to be able to steal full points from Real Betis headquarters. It looks like this match will run very interesting.

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.

That applies to some of my coaches, I mean it's not a guarantee that coaches who are given the freedom with a big budget to buy players they will be able to utilize it very well, we can see Chelsea, they spent a lot of money and the fact is they have not been able to show significant improvement. But in Xavi's case, I also see enormous potential if only he didn't have financial problems that prevented him from bringing in the players he wanted. I also think if he can bring in the players he wants then he will be able to give something very big.

Barcelona is indeed in a mess this season, it can be seen that against Almeria they had difficulty winning, their defense collapsed when Almeria attacked with a counter-attack. Bacelona's defense became dangerous. Barcelona still needs a lot of improvement. This season, 100% of La Liga has no hope, especially in the UCL league.

However, in this match, the most interesting thing was the proof of player Sergi Roberto. Criticized here and there, but became the difference in Barcelona's difficult times. Moreover, even though they managed to win this time, it became increasingly apparent how fragile Barcelona's defense was without Inigo Martinez and Stegen, besides that the front line's finishing was also less effective.

Barcelona wraps up 2023 with a lucky home victory against Almeria in Laliga. They'll need some divine intervention to get back on track, given their poor performance this season. Their struggle is fact now, and the pressure is building up. It's crucial for them to step up their game, but it's a gradual process. Otherwise losing more matches underway.
The club seems desperate to reach the top, and I'm uncertain whether is it their performance issue or financial stability? If financial concerns are driving their desperation, it might be affecting their commitment to delivering a quality performance.

There is no feeling of satisfaction after watching the Barcelona vs Almeria game, only victory can make Barcelona fans entertained after the match ends. Barcelona should be able to get an easy win over a team that is threatened with relegation, Almeria has also never won this season in La Liga. The victory was achieved with great difficulty thanks to the neat performance of Roberto, who has rarely played, the 2 goals he scored in this match managed to lead Barcelona to victory.

[rendravolt]

Even against a relegated team, Barcelona had to struggle to win and could it be that they are starting to run out at this point? because last night's difficult win against Almeria was a bad thing for Barcelona in the future and I'm not sure they will be more consistent in the future. As the visiting team, Almeria made things difficult for Barcelona, but even then they came with high motivation to be able to get the points through the first win they wanted. But the opponent is a strong team so if they can just hold on to a draw that would be very good.

Almeria would have almost drawn if they hadn't conceded the second goal from Sergi Roberto and that also sealed Barcelona's win at 3-2. Even though this was a match at different levels, both teams presented an interesting game with goals scored. Barcelona must work more maturely and they cannot continue like this when their opponent is a weak team that they can beat with a landslide score. After this match, the Barcelona squad flew to Dallas (America) to play a friendly match against CF America tomorrow.

[adultcrypto]

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.

Barcelona going back to winning ways is actually something extraordinary considering how much they flopped of recent. I can say they even had a hard time winning Almeria and if not the intervention of Sergi Roberto, who scored twice to earn them the three points, the match would have gone against them. The present Barcelona team is not that dreaded teach the wins with ease both home and away. A Barcelona that lost two goals to four against Girona, three goals to two against Royal Antwerp and a draw against Villareal before winning Almeria, a team at the bottom of the table, is not much of a dreaded team to me. They just go lucky to win. They are facing Las Palmas in their next match, maybe the result of that match will tell us of Barcelona have returned to winning or not.

But the opponent is a strong team so if they can just hold on to a draw that would be very good.

Little difficult with Barcelona against relegated team standings position without winning achievement yet in La Liga this season have conceded two goals, seems very poor of Barcelona defense on last match made them have been conceded 21 goals of 18 matches. Actually,  Almeria must be weakness opponent team for Barcelona and unbelievable with Almeria success come back twice when Barcelona leading 1-0 and then 2-1 although at the end have loss their opportunity to get one point.
Xavi Hernandez not really happy with his team performance last night, he can't believe against relegation team not winning match yet have conceded two goals and Xavi expected for Barcelona easily winning over 3-0 until 4-0.

Barcelona didn't play a very good game in this match, their attack strategy was very poor and didn't show any skill on the pitch. That's right, against Almaria they have to be able to score more goals to be able to compete with the teams in the position above them, especially since Barcelona played at home in this match with a 3-2 win. In my opinion, something like this is very embarrassing for Barcelona, because Barcelona has a very good history from season to season in La Liga. Hopefully coaches and players can take lessons from this match and continue to improve their performance in the next match.

It seems like Real Betis refuses to lose from their last five matches, only one win, the rest were just draws, good enough for Real Betis class in their ambition to beat Girona tomorrow because Real Betis is very profitable in this match, playing at home looks like Real Betis will have the ambition to beat Girona for the first time in several matches. Girona is very difficult to beat in several matches, many big clubs have fallen victim to Girona's ferocity, hopefully Real Betis will be able to defeat Girona for the first time.

It's a set back for barcelona. The club unable to get perfect result against the mediocre team like almeria. This looks so weird to see barcelona conceded two goals against almeria. It shows that there is a setback that is happening in the club right now.
I don't know what was the main problem but the financial trouble probably made barcelona lost its confeidence to play better. Barcelona will perform even worst after the winter transfer season.
The reason is some players wll leave from the club caused by barcelona urged to raise some money to complete its obligation to pay its debt to the creditors and other club.

Xavi gets a lot of burdens on his shoulder. The performance of barcelona may be even worst starting from this time. It's caused by the club being so wasteful due to the financial issues that looked like impossible to be solved through selling its shares.
barcelona has used everything to defend its club but since this club was rarely generating profit and it must accept this situation. Im doubting xavi to get a new striker for barcelona soon.
The financial issue once again prevents barcelona to make it happen. It's time for management consider to sell club to the billionaires.
