La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[deathcode]

Arda Guler has been expected to be in Real Madrid squad for the Mallorca game so far and I hope this doesn't change again. This is a game he can finally have a chance in for the first time. Ancelotti would keep him on the bench until securing the win by a decent score. After that maybe for 10 minutes or less we might see him on the pitch.

I don't think he has had his time with injuries completely. Real Madrid must have been working on his physique to be better on one hand. He has a good talent but as long as we don't see him on the pitch it doesn't matter unfortunately. 

If he gets the chance to play in the match against Mallorca, he must show the quality of his game. some fans are talking about him, he is one of Madrid's young talents. if he can play well, he will be a star with Madrid in the future.
I don't think 10 minutes will be enough for such a young player. The start of the second half might be enough opportunity for him to show his game.

Joselu is only a priority for a while and I think Real Madrid will get the right player for the number 9 jersey. Maybe in this transfer window we will see this player complete the Real Madrid squad in the second half of this season. There is no doubt that after Ancelotti received a new contract offer he will focus on a new project for this season with Real Madrid. Not Mbappe, but I think Real Madrid management has already pocketed the name of a quality striker that they will be targeting in this winter's transfer window.

Indeed, without the number 9 player, Real Madrid performance so far has been quite good, both in Laliga and the Champions League. But it won't be good if they don't look for another player who will take on the task of being their main striker for this season. Now, if you look at the rumors that have been linked between Mbappe and Real Madrid, of course this has been fried in the previous two transfer windows, but we see that Real Madrid first offer for Mbappe was rejected by Mbappe at that time. Maybe Real Madrid don't want to be disappointed a second time, they will definitely ignore Mbappe name in this winter's transfer window.

Juselu will continue to be used by Real Madrid as long as Real Madrid has not found a good and suitable striker to join their squad Juselu is actually a good striker but Real Madrid needs a striker who is hungry for goals and creates lots of goal opportunities and can provide goal assists to players. On the other hand, Mbappe is actually a suitable player for Real Madrid, but it seems like Mbappe doesn't really have any interest in joining Real Madrid. If he was interested, he should have explained where he would end up.

So far, Real Madrid performance is still quite stable even without the number 9 player because Bellingham is here to strengthen Real Madrid and it turn out that Bellinghan can become a striker because he can create lots of goals and even become the top scorer in La Liga, but even so, Real Madrid still needs a striker who can replace Benzema, until now Real Madrid has not found a striker like Benzema and maybe because Real Madrid has already been disappointed with Mbappe, Ancloti maybe will look for another name lets just wait for Real Madrid surprise in the transfer market later.

I don't want to believe anything about Mbappe's transfer until it is officially confirmed. A few years back, everyone was certain of it. Everyone was making a welcoming post about Mbappe to Real Madrid, but then PSG Directors said that they would try to keep him at PSG. People thought that nobody could stop Mbappe from joining Real Madrid and his childhood favorite club. But after spending a whole lot of money, Mbappe remained at PSG.

Actually I don't see other options other than Mbappe to be honest. Haaland probably won't join since he is doing very well at Manchester City right now. Joselu is currently doing very good as a replacement and it is very hard to say if Real Madrid is going to get another striker this season if Mbappe does not join this season.

Despite being in financial crisis, Barcelona team managed to win the title last season. Because their squad was strong enough. But there are several weaknesses within their squad this season. Players are facing injuries. As a result, Barcelona's defense is now quite shaky. Together they depend on Lewandowski to score. If Lewa does not perform well, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win the match. The team is not getting the expected performance from Gundogan. Barcelona will need to prepare big funds in the winter transfer window if they want to stabilize the squad. If not, they will not be able to fight for the title this season.

Barcelona squad this season is still quite strong, but they seem to have lost their balance in several matches, such as against Girona, where Barcelona had to give up at home. In the second half of this season, if there are no changes made by Xavi, of course Barcelona will have difficulty maintaining their ranking. Girona is quite strong this season and they have even managed to beat Barcelona so Barcelona must be able to evaluate their weak points so that they can be corrected in the transfer market.

Real Madrid is also quite consistent, they have succeeded in taking over the leadership of the standings from Girona, but for now both teams have collected the same points. So, in the upcoming match, Girona will face Atletico madrid again. Of course, if they want to regain the top of the standing, Girona must beat Atletico madrid.

But what does "quite strong" even mean in the world of football when there are teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid and everyone in Barcelona wants maximum success? I think that is when the moment has come to speak the truth and the truth is that Barcelona is not at that level of the other strongest teams. You could say that most likely Girona is better off than them at the moment.

But we will have some insight on this interesting question when Barcelona plays the game in the Champions League against Barcelona. When you say that they are still quite strong, I guess they should not have too many problems to beat a struggling Napoli.

I agree with you that we can't compare Barcelona to the same standard as the strongest team this season. With teams like Manchester City and Barcelona in the Champions League, we can't imagine that Barcelona will archive success in games, after their disappointing performance in their previous matches. Girona, on the other hand, has recently improved and is now stronger than Barcelona; the Barcelona squad is so weak that it can't even compete with Girona. Overall, I see Barcelona as a weak team this season; we can only say that they were strong the previous season but not the same thing this season.

The match between Barcelona and Napoli will be difficult, and since both teams have been playing so poorly, it is difficult to predict which will win. However, it is possible that the Barcelona squad will become stronger before their next match against Las Palmas. Since they have a new striker because they only depend on Lewandowski to score, but due to his age with the players contribution he can't do the same while he was in Bayern Munich.

Barcelona won La Liga tittle last season indeed have financial problem and likely they have compete to defend domestic league tittle in this season with the same financial trouble facing. For this season Barcelona success signed Ikay Gundogan from Manchester City with free transfer and make Barcelona have solid composition in midfielder. Not only with opportunity for defending their La Liga tittle but also Barcelona still get place in Champion League round of 16 and excited to know how long round for Barcelona will qualify.
Less fund I doubt Barcelona have decision for signing new player in winter transfer, actually Barcelona need recovery on many position but difficult with financial make them have finding players with free agent for signing.

Barcelona has financial problem last season, but the club sold more shares to get fresh funding and at that time barcelona raised 120 millions from selling the players. The time is always moving forward and barcelona needs to raise some money then the club has planned to sell some players which are not useful for the club. This suggests that Barcelona will make efforts to offload certain players in order to generate funds during the upcoming January transfer window. Barcelona has debt and it needs to be paid too.

The club is still far away from the deadline to pay the debt but it's just getting closer now and barcelona needs to prepare some money to do that. The team is not financially good and barcelona needs also to sell some players.
I read news that said barcelona was ready in listening any offers that came from the various clubs which mean barcelona is ready even to sell its key players. So, i don't even expect barcelona to play better if some key players will leave from the club.

Barcelona is not in a good condition. There are many problems need to be solved by the club especially related to the financial.

The current situation is very confusing. On one hand, Real Madrid needs a number 9 but they are performing well without them. On other hand, despite these rumors, I don't think Real Madrid would sign Mbappe after he kind of betrayed Real Madrid a few years ago and signed a deal with PSG. Everyone was thinking that Real Madrid got him but he said otherwise. It makes everything confusing.

Real Madrid are doing well without a number 9 right now. Joselu is doing kind of good but he is not a world class player after all. The rumors are not strong either about Mbappe coming to Real Madrid. Endrick Felipe won't be coming this season as far as I know. Things are getting very interesting and I will be watching every moment of it.

Real Madrid's condition is not in a poor position because their current strength is still strong enough to compete in La Liga, however this is talking about jersey number 9 and so far they have not yet determined a suitable replacement to replace the previous player. There are times when Real Madrid's front line is unable to score goals and this is a consideration why in the upcoming transfer market they have to bring in another striker as a step to maximize the front line.

Whether we realize it or not, Madrid is actually on the verge of instability after several important players were injured, but this can still be covered because Madrid has high-level players. Luckily several players were absent right after the UCL break. So he has time to improve, while in La Liga his current position is still safe because his rivals are not in a threatening condition due to being busy dealing with increasingly deteriorating finances. However, instead another competitor comes from Girona, who is still in 2nd place in the standings with a point difference that is not too far away. Another conclusion is that Madrid was saved right when the transfer window opened and they have everything to immediately upgrade the depth of the squad.

Real Madrid has not lost a single game of the last 17 games they played. They have the best defense in La Liga and they are the only team with Manchester City to finish the Champions League group with the full 18 points out of 6 games. I understand that they are suffering from injuries, but this isn't the first time Vinicius Junior is injured this season. They had to replace him for quite a while already and yet were able to play successfully.

There is still some time left for their players to recover and I don't see them being on the verge of instability. They have done it well until now and of course there is a limit for every club to handle injuries. But for now they are good.

Yes, even with the lack of defenders that Real Madrid currently has, they still have a good defense. I still don't believe they have a stable performance, maybe if this happened to another team then it would definitely be easy to concede the goal because of the weak defense. But Real Madrid also has two goalkeepers who have played very well this season, namely Kepa and Lunin, both of whom often rotate according to the team's needs and rarely concede goals.

Several players have been confirmed to return, except for those with ACL injuries, such as Militao, Alaba and Courtois, who will probably be back for quite some time to strengthen the main squad. But that doesn't seem to be a problem because Ancelotti knows how to manage the existing squad so that he can still get maximum results in every match.

Talking about rival, I currently don't see Barcelona as Real Madrid's rival this season, so far they have been able to stay far to the top beyond Barcelona such that it will take Barcelona some good number of wins to be able to meet up with them and I don't think Barcelona Is in such a form that at this point they will be able cover up for the distance already.

Gzkron is more like a threat to Madrid in my analysis, reason been that, Girona seem to be using a very good tactics of winning the weak team to maintaining their top position and drawing the bigger teams to keep balance at the top so it very possible Girona will win their fixtures against all these small teams and later struggle to draw against the bigger rivals , Barcelona and Real Madrid, that way they will be able to attain and maintain some good balance around the top and utilize any chance they see to becoming the champions at the end of the season.

[Warkop]

It is difficult for Xavi to bring in new players, while Barcelona finances are very bad, currently they can only wait for free players from the transfer market and can free players really be relied on for their skills? sometimes they are even old, like some of the Barcelona players who were brought in for free at that time.
I dont doubt the performance or skill of free players but wouldn't it be better to bring in players at a price that isn't too high who can make a good contribution to the team to be able to strengthen the defense or attack line for the team but back to finances Barcelona can't bring in quality players like us expect.

maybe if this season Barcelona can't win the La Liga title I will understand because the condition of this team is really in a bad condition and this is a difficult burden for Xavi to be able to try to reach the top of the standings with the existing players and these injured players maybe not before. It is expected, but injury can happen at any time if you cannot maintain your physical condition. but I hope that there are big investors who invest in Barcelona to get quality players.

Barcelona are in a dire situation and it’s quite unfortunate that Xavi is caught up in the midst of this. He wouldn’t be able to make the key signings he wants and with this current squad, he’s not achieving his best as he wants and that can be quite demoralizing for a team that won the league the previous season, well apart from financial crisis they also got hit my injury crisis which has been a big setback for them this season.

This proves that the financial crisis is not the biggest obstacle for Barcelona to continue to provide the best for their squad. In my opinion, the most difficult thing when this financial crisis occurs is when one of their attacking players suffers an injury, this will definitely have a bad impact on their matches against great teams. This season is the toughest season for Xavi, he really has to think hard to provide a good strategy for his squad so they can win in the upcoming matches. That's right, with the ongoing financial crisis, Barcelona really has to choose players who are truly capable and can be relied on by the team, that way the quality of their play will definitely get better to continue competing with other top teams.

Real Madrid coped well with the absence of an important player like Vinicious Jr this season because they were prepared for it. Injuries such as hamstring muscle injury can become chronic once it occurs, and Real Madrid cannot even count on him to recover and return, but if they fix this injury completely, I think Vinicious Jr. will return well and will contribute a lot to the team.

For example, he was not in the Real Betis and Atletico Madrid matches. If he was not injured and was playing, I think Real Madrid would not have lost any points even in these matches.

They suddenly got a very successful transfer with Jude Bellingham who scored many goals for them. Without those goals from Jude, with many are winning goals, they would have not gotten the same points like now.

Vinicius Jr. is important with their attacking system and he will return but Real Madrid must analyze why a young player like Vinicius got some injuries in this season. They will have to use him more wisely and avoid putting the player to his physical limit if they don't want to see more injuries from the player in next seasons.

For example, he was not in the Real Betis and Atletico Madrid matches. If he was not injured and was playing, I think Real Madrid would not have lost any points even in these matches.

Football is not like math. With Vinicius Jr. in theory Real Madrid will have a more powerful attacking system but it does not guarantee they will win against Real Betis or Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid for a fact have recorded series of injuries to the club's best players since the start which was supposed to affect the team's performance and cause instability in the team but it didn't stop them from topping the Spanish La Liga table nor did stop them from winning all their matches in the group stage of the UEFA champions league competition. The manager of the club Carlo Ancelotti is one football coach that's very good in perfectly utilizing any number of players that's available to him. For instance, the club's former captain left the club last summer to join a Saudi Arabian club yet, the club couldn't sign another striker that'll replace him but Ancelotti have been winning games without a recognized striker.

I know for a fact that some important members of the Real Madrid squad are currently injured and sidelined but I don't expect it to be a reason why the club will become unstable

[Jossque]

Valencia will host Villarreal at home.It is difficult to predict what both teams can do because it is not a simple thing to say who will win clearly if we look at the matches played in the last weeks.Although Valencia seems to be ahead despite being home, I think Villarreal has the strength to win this match away from home.Especially considering that Villarreal likes to both score and eat goals, we can say that this match will be a goalscoring match.
Real Sociedad will host Alaves at home.Sociedad have not lost in recent weeks and we can honestly say that they are a team that has forgotten about defeat.The hosts have the advantage in the matches played between the 2 teams and I think that they will most likely not lose in this match.Sociedad, who have not scored in the last 3 matches, will want to reverse this in this match.

Players are facing injuries. As a result, Barcelona's defense is now quite shaky. Together they depend on Lewandowski to score.

Barcelona will need to prepare big funds in the winter transfer window if they want to stabilize the squad. If not, they will not be able to fight for the title this season.

I agree with Barcelona's precarious predicament. Their defense seems shaky, no? Depending too much on Lewandowski for goals is risky. Though fantastic, he can have a bad day. I think Gundogan is still young. He's talented but hasn't found his groove. I wouldn't dismiss him yet

You requested a huge winter transfer window spend. I doubt that's possible given their finances. They may have to get inventive with free transfers or loans. You can strengthen the team without breaking the cash with clever scouting and luck

[marcous]

Arda Guler has been expected to be in Real Madrid squad for the Mallorca game so far and I hope this doesn't change again. This is a game he can finally have a chance in for the first time. Ancelotti would keep him on the bench until securing the win by a decent score. After that maybe for 10 minutes or less we might see him on the pitch.

I don't think he has had his time with injuries completely. Real Madrid must have been working on his physique to be better on one hand. He has a good talent but as long as we don't see him on the pitch it doesn't matter unfortunately. 

I think everyone is looking forward to the Turkish boy debut, and I'm very curious about his skills. Hopefully the match will be easy, I mean Madrid can score quickly and give Ancelotti the opportunity to rotate players, so Guler has the potential to get playing minutes from Ancelotti.

While strengthening the Fenerbahche first team for two seasons, Guler was indeed a key player at his old club, but in Madrid the competition for his position was very tight. Considering that he is still very young, his prospects of becoming a regular player in the future are very open, Guler only problem is injury.

Furthermore, if Madrid is able to create a point difference with closest competitor Girona, then Ancelotti will have the opportunity to rotate players more, including giving more playing minutes to two veteran players Modric and Kroos.

[Iranus]

A change of manager is a very common thing but it only happens when the former manager is replaced by a better manager. Ancelotti was not thinking of removing him because he is not doing well for Real Madrid, but he wanted to take charge of the Brazilian team, so he wanted to leave the club on his own. Although he wants to leave the responsibility of the club on his own, the club did not want to leave him at the moment because the club may not have found a manager with a good mind like him at the moment and another big thing is that the strategy that Real Madrid is currently playing is happy with the results of that strategy. Since Ancelotti has a good understanding with each player, if the team is to succeed, Ancelotti is the most likely to succeed.

Perez with his two times of working with Carlo Ancelotti, knows well that the coach is very good to maintain stability in the club. He is good at keeping good sentiment and working relationship between the coach and many star players who usually have very high ego.

The coach is also very good at giving young players some kind of excellent advice and enlighten their career at new positions. He succeed with Andrea Pirlo at AC Milan and it is not the only player who revived their career with Carlo management.

Real Madrid currently have many young players and they are going to buy some more youth players, Endrick will join the club soon as his transfer was completed months ago. With this transitional phase in the club, Perez surely saw that there is no other better coach for Real than Carlo.

Ancelotti is already doing very well with the squad that he has been given. He made Benzema win Ballon d’Or, win La Liga and UEFA Champions League at the same time. Although he struggled last season after Benzema and Casemiro left, this season he is doing very well. He is the one who deserves to be in Real Madrid and he is proving it. Perez knows his stuff that's why kept Ancelotti even after that bad performance last season.

To be honest I don't think he was offered by the Brazilian National team to manage their team. If Ancelotti had gone there, I believe he would have succeeded. He is good with the young players and Brazil is full of young stars right now. Rodrygo, Vinicus Jr. who he trained in Real Madrid were going to be there as well. Bellingham, another young superstar, is doing very good under him. Brazil needs to turn around and do something or they might even miss the 2026 World Cup.

[shogun47]

I believe from now on it all depends on his success over the next few years. At some point I thought that Ancelotti wants to slowly pull out of the business because it is too stressful for him to have to be available 24/7 year round as a Real Madrid coach, but he seems to be in a great condition physically and mentally and he still seems to be enjoying the game. He is on fire sometimes despite his age and despite being this calm guy he usually is. But you can see that he wants more trophies especially in the Champions League. He could now have his final little era and let's see what his decision will be in 2026.

He still seems strong enough to handle the business and that's why he agreed to signing the renewal of his contract till 2025 if he has got challenge with it I'm sure he wouldn't have opted for the contract and even the management of Real Madrid wouldn't have agreed to the extension of his contract aswell.

I was thinking he would have gone to the Brazilian team coach them over a period of time and probably end his career there with a retirement but then he has still got the will to be at Real Madrid and that's why he will still agree to staying in Madrid as against going to Brazil. He has still got love for the Madrid team and I'm optimistic he will help the team further scale even greater heights in this season and subsequent seasons to come, so I'm not expecting any less from him and his boys this time having accepted to stay back at Madrid rather than move to Brazil.

I was actually a little surprised to see that he has extended his contract. Because I thought he was going to Brazil as the coach. But I guess he thinks he still has a lot to gain with Real Madrid. That's why he has extended his contract till 2026. Now I think Real Madrid is going to have a good and successful next couple of years as well. I also wonder if he will be able to bring in Mbappe into the squad. If he does, it is definitely going to be insane. Let's see what kind of squad he builds in the next couple of years. Expecting at least one champion's trophy as long as he is here.a

I think this is a good summary of what Ancelotti must have been thinking when he decided to extend his contract with Real Madrid and let the option to become the national coach of the Brazilian team go. There is a lot to be gained with Real Madrid and I can imagine that there were talks about the future of the club and that Ancelotti also asked about Mbappe and whether there is a chance that they will bring him in. Maybe there have been promises or agreements already.

Ancelotti would know that an attack line consisting of Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo would be insane and that it would be the strongest in European soccer I guess. He knows if he can add a title or two in the Champions League, that would strengthen his position as one of the most successful coaches in the sport.

One day after the new year 2024 and tomorrow La Liga matches will start again. The opening match was a match between Getafe vs Vallecano and as we know, Getafe is a quite phenomenal team so far. The reason is that they are now in 8th position and even have an impressive record in the last few matches. Meanwhile, Vallecano, which was expected to have the same performance as last season, is actually in 11th position in the standings, this cannot be separated from the bad results they have had so far.

As hosts, Getafe will clearly be the favorite in this match and they must win if they want to overtake Real Betis in the standings. Meanwhile, Vallecano is actually not an easy opponent to beat, but if they are able to overturn existing expectations with a win or a draw then that is at least something they can achieve in this match. What do you think, who will win this match tomorrow?

[temple]

But what does "quite strong" even mean in the world of football when there are teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid and everyone in Barcelona wants maximum success? I think that is when the moment has come to speak the truth and the truth is that Barcelona is not at that level of the other strongest teams. You could say that most likely Girona is better off than them at the moment.

I would also say that Girona is currently still much better than Barcelona and even Barcelona itself is not able to beat Atletico Madrid in the standings after eighteen matches even though it is able to equal points with Atletico Madrid. Now Real Madrid is even competing with Girona for the top spot this season, although I personally am still quite confident that Real Madrid could be the most successful team in La Liga this season by winning trophies.

But we will have some insight on this interesting question when Barcelona plays the game in the Champions League against Barcelona. When you say that they are still quite strong, I guess they should not have too many problems to beat a struggling Napoli.

Everyone really needs to see this in order to be able to measure the strength of the two teams after passing through this month of January, because we will also see the level of difficulty that the two teams will have when they return to compete in the Champions League this season. The round of 16 is quite an important round for all teams so each team will definitely do better to cover up their difficulties so far.

Girona has shown some little nerves, but not really anything that would be concerning. They tied to games out of their last five games and yet it means that they have been unbeaten for quite a while, which in my opinion still makes them a potential surprise contender for the title. Now we know what they have to do to compete with Real Madrid as I think Real will make hardly any mistakes this season. They might have some draws from time to time, but they won't drop points for like three games in a row. Girona has to do everything in their power to stay consistent and to collect all the points they can and go step by step from there. Perhaps Real Madrid will have some struggles.

Marcos Alonso the payer of Barcleen decided to have surgery because of the pain in his back and he is surely going to be out for a long time and this is bad news for Barcelona. However, they had no other way than to let this player have the surgery.
In the game between Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, Marcos Alonso got injured and he couldn't play for Barcelona.
So far Marcos Alonso played in 7 games for his team.

Marcos Alonso absence after surgery to treat a problem in the lower part of his back will not really affect Barcelona performance because throughout this season Alonso has only made seven appearances in all competitions. He is starting to lose the trust of Xavi Hernandez due to his inconsistent performance, Barcelona is even ready to let Alonso go next summer even though on a free transfer, this season will most likely be Alonso last season in a Barcelona uniform.

Marcos Alonso joined Barcelona in 2022 and he has played 28 games for Barcelona right now. But the issue is that Barcelona has been suffering financially and now Alonso is also unavailable, they probably need to recruit someone new as his replacement.

With the struggles of Barcelona financially, it is hard to believe that they are going to recruit someone new. They probably will if they find someone as a free agent. They have problems on the attacking side as well. Lewandsonski is not at his best right now, other forwards are also having problems.
