La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[len01]

Barcelona finally is making a final decision about their player, João Félix.
João Félix joined Barcelona during the summer but he is playing there on loan and he should leave the team when the loan is over, But it seems Barcelona is now interested it having this player permanently, they asked to have a negotiation with Atletico Madrid about this palyer.

Will be a smart move for Barcelona if the negotiation goes through smoothly but I doubt if it would be as easy as we thought. Barcelona is broke and Atletico Madrid wants to cash out big from the sale of Felix so I doubt if things will go easily, signing Felix permanently will be a good thing for Barcelona because he is a very talented player with lots of qualities aand he has the potential to grow into one of the best players in the team.

He showed his qualities at Chelsea too but Chelsea was not interested in keeping him permanently so they let him go despite being their best player last season. I just hope Barcelona succeeds in keeping him because he doesn’t enjoy the style of play at Atletico Madrid and it’s better to play where there is peace.

this news was actually linked to last season's transfer when Joao Felix first arrived at Barcelona and the management said that if Felix appearance was very valuable for Barcelona, he would definitely make it permanent, but the problem is, as we know, Barcelona finances have not improved and require a lot of money to pay. taking care of the contract with Felix and I admit that Atletico Madrid will not easily give a cheap price but actually there is a very easy alternative such as selling Lewandowski to another team because this player is no longer productive, perhaps because of his age which is a little older even though the start of the season provides the performance is quite good and by selling Lewandowski Barcelona can make a profit and can sign a contract with Felix.

I have heard rumors that Lewandowski was given an offer from an Arab team but the player refused the offer from an Arab team even though it was a very valuable opportunity for both parties. Barcelona got big profits and Lewandowski also got big salary benefits there but unfortunately Lewandowski refused quickly.

I'm a little surprised why Lewandowski rejected the offer and prefers to stay in a european team, even though at his age he rarely needs players who have lost their productivity and this is a strong reason why Barcelona management wants to keep Felix rather than Lewandowski and I'm sure that sooner or later Felix will be better maintained.

Real Madrid is amongst the few big teams that builds young talents, when you look into Real Madrid squad from their youth players, you’ll see a lot of talents and foresee a good future there as a footballer. I am not a Real Madrid fan but I can assure you that Real Madrid is a team for the young and talented players you can think of. For the past decades, Real Madrid have dominated in building youngsters and they turn out to be world class players.Carlo Ancelotti in my opinion is a good coach that can build young talents for the team

Real Madrid success in achieving its peak performance was due to Ancelotti expertise in developing the talents of young players. Real Madrid transfer policy over the last few years has been to bring in more talented young players than experienced senior players. Real Madrid managed to make an extraordinary transfer after successfully securing Bellingham. Since playing at Real Madrid, he has developed and become more dangerous when in the opponent's defense area even though his original position is not a striker.

Recently Arda Guler made his debut with Real Madrid, he managed to steal Ancelotti attention with his good performance. Real Madrid will repeat its success with Ancelotti and the young players who are his mainstay, as they have developed under Ancelotti it will be increasingly difficult to beat them.

[klidex]

He's a player who's giving his all for the Barcelona club even if all hasn't gone well though, he still has a high work rate this season for the games he has started and has come from the bench press.
Returning to Atletico Madrid is not a good idea for him, so even if it takes him another long season loan with Barcelona I believe, he'll accept a pay cut to play for Barcelona at the end of the day.

His love for the Barcelona club really makes him enthusiastic about playing various match with more time for himself compared to Atletico Madrid which doesn't give him time to play and it seems that Joao Felix is not very comfortable with his original club, even though he got a salary cut at Barcelona, but thats not the case it is not a big problem because he just wants to give his best contribution and continue playing for his favorited club, but I doubt whether Atletico Madrid is willing to negotiate with Barcelona knowing that Barcelona is their arch rival in LaLiga so Atletico Madrid will still set the price that Atletico Madrid sets at the price which has been agreed.

If Barcelona wants to make him permanent then Xavi has to sell players to buy him but who is that player because so far Barcelona is experiencing an injury crisis so they can only sell players who can be sold to be able to buy Joao Felix.

Real Madrid has always been good at adopting talented young players. As if they could see the potential of this young player from the start. Losing Benzema was also not a problem for Real Madrid because his position was successfully covered by Vini Jr and Bellingham. Now we can also hope for the presence of A. Guler as a potential future great player at Real Madrid. The debut in the Real Madrid vs Arandina match in the Copa Del Rey was also an extraordinary debut for A. Guler. He was given quite a lot of time, namely he played from the beginning of the first half to the middle of the second half. Even though he didn't score. But its appearance is quite striking.

Now I wonder if A.Guler will also play in the Semi final match of the Spanish Super Cup. Because if he plays again then I think he can contribute more. It's just that this match will be more difficult because the opponent they face is Atletico Madrid. I think if Ancelotti plays Arda Guler then maybe it will only at the end of the match if Real Madrid is already in a safe position in that match.

I think by now Girona knows that they do have some stakes in the title race. They are not disregarded as a small underdog anymore. What was remarkable about the game against Atletico Madrid was their comeback when Atletico was pressuring and scored the equalizer. I expected Girona to lose steam at that point, but no, they found another solution to score once more and I think that is world class and a positive sign for the rest of their season.

Yes, Girona definitely wants to be champions this season and I'm sure Girona's enthusiasm is now burning and they want to win trophies this season, last season Girona was ranked 10th and I'm sure this season Girona will work hard and will continue to compete with Madrid . Yes, in this new year, Girona gave a positive sign because they were able to beat Atletico Madrid with a score of 4-3 for Girona's victory. Yes, the match was very exciting and indeed Girona showed their greatness at that time and Martin really was the hero at that time who made the score become 4 for Girona and finally won the match and now the name Girona is increasingly popular. and indeed now he has a positive remainder of the season and I am also sure that in the next match Girona will have the potential to continue winning.

and I see that Girona's performance is always good and yesterday in the Copa Del Rey match, Girona played against Elche and Girona won the match with a score of 0-2, yes, in my opinion, this proves that Girona's performance is really good. and I also hope that in Girona's match against Almeria, Girona will win and score lots of goals,
and I want to bet For Girona winning

Of course, Girona's match against Almeria will be exciting because the team that is in the lowest ranking will play against the team that is currently in 2nd place.

[bering]

Girona will gets easy opponent this weekend that they will playing at Almeria home ground and in Laliga i have to says Almeria's chance to stay in Laliga is completely closed this because among all teams in this league only Almeria who still struggle to gets their first winning this season and with collect 5 points from 19 matches i think it's impossible for Almeria to bounce back and survive in Laliga so obviously at the end of season Almeria will return to segunda division

We all know Girona was in the good shape because they almost gets the winning results for each matches and they also has successfully to beat several strong teams this season and the latest is Girona can win from Atletico Madrid so beating Almeria should't be a big problem for them and if we see based on head to head statistics Girona can able to beat Almeria with big scores several times and from this match too i am quite confident Girona can win with 2 goals margin or more besides that Almeria defense also very weak because so far they have already conceded 43 goals in Laliga

Joao Felix is young player and he could still have brighter future, it just that with Atletico Madrid he might only get more money but not the possibility of titles to be had.
Even though with Barcelona his salary could be said to be lower because it was cut, Joao Felix really wants to continue playing for Barcelona and he himself has stated that from the start he will leave Atletico Madrid on loan.
For this season as striker Joao Felix has not been able to provide many goals for Barcelona but if only during the second half of this season he really plays very well it is also likely that in the next transfer window when the season ends there will be an offer about buying Joao Felix and not just loan status.
Xavi definitely knows what he has to add to the Barcelona squad and of course because of player crisis like this due to injuries, Xavi will really think that they really need player who has good quality to complement their squad.

Not for the current transfer window but for the next transfer window when the season changes.
Of course, at that time there will be players who can be sold so that Joao Felix can be replaced.

João Félix joined Barcelona during the summer but he is playing there on loan and he should leave the team when the loan is over, But it seems Barcelona is now interested it having this player permanently, they asked to have a negotiation with Atletico Madrid about this palyer.

Barcelona may already decide to sign João Félix. However, does Barcelona have enough money to pay the transfer fees of João Félix? Current market value of this player is around €40m. I'm sure Atletico Madrid will ask more than €50m because he is a young player and still has a long time contract. João Félix is also an experienced and talented player, Atletico Madrid must expect big money by selling him.

Honestly, I am not sure Barcelona will succeed to sign him permanently. But it is still interesting to see how Barcelona to try negotiate with Atletico Madrid.

You can't really ask for more than the market value of a player, the market value is calculated WITH age calculated as well, so he is worth 40 million because of his age, if he was like 34 with same skills, he wouldn't be worth this much at all. I think with Felix wanting to leave and wanting to be sold to Barcelona, it feels like he could force the hands of ATM to sell him even cheaper.

I can see something like 25-30 million range plus some bonuses as well which could be done. Plus, they could also do instalments, like 10 million per year for 3 years, that is not impossible and available as an option, meaning they would only need 10 million for the year. They can make that by selling few small name players at the very best case.

[Strongkored]

Not an impressive performance for Barcelona against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey although Barcelona can win but concede two goals against a team that can be said to have quality far below Barcelona, and in six matches in all competitions Barcelona's net has always conceded goals even in a friendly match last month they lost to the Club America team competing in the Mexican league, so it looks like Barcelona's defense is currently quite weak.
Barcelona will face Osasuna in the Spanish Super Cup match and after that face Real Betis in the Laliga match and face Betis as an away team it is very possible that Barca will only get one point seeing Betis is quite solid when playing at home and some strong teams have been held to a draw by Betis such as Real Madrid and Girona.

Barcelona players dominated the match. They  have been able to do a lot of attacks. But even  then Barcelona's performance was not  good enough. Barcelona won  the match. But Barcelona conceded two goals against a team as weak as Barbastro. From this, it is understood that Barcelona's defense is now very weak. Barcelona's performance in La Liga has been erratic. If the team still can't get back on track, and can't consistently perform well, Barcelona will be knocked out of the title race. Barcelona is 7 points behind Madrid and Girona.

If Girona's performance can remain as it was in the previous match, then we can predict Girona's victory in that match. Almeria will definitely have great difficulty in this match even though they are the hosts of the match. Because Girona this season has really become a different club to the previous season. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have even suffered defeats against Girona. So it feels like Almeria will even have difficulty achieving a draw. Girona will most likely score more than 2 goals in this match.

Seeing Almeria this season is a little sad. In fact, they have never gotten full points this season. This is different from Girona, which has an good record this season. And only had 1 defeat in 19 matches this season. Girona's record even matches Real Madrid's record this season.

Barcelona for me wasn't real impressive tho they did played brilliantly but for such a weak team, I expected so much from Barcelona, I expected Barcelona should posses a better defensive mechanism against this team such that they wouldn't have concede as much as two goal but a goal wouldn't have been considered too bad.

Barbastro isn't even to be considered UpTo an average team, Barcelona would have effortlessly won them by a very good margin but then Barcelona won while conceding much goals aswell, the first half was rightly dominated by Barcelona and they were able to secure a goal by the end of the first half. I was impressed by the brilliancy Barcelona exhibited in the first half of the game last night as they were able to keep the ball away from their post for a very good time through the first half and their dominance was such a good one.

Real Madrid managed to make an extraordinary transfer after successfully securing Bellingham.

Real Madrid has always been good at adopting talented young players. As if they could see the potential of this young player from the start. Losing Benzema was also not a problem for Real Madrid because his position was successfully covered by Vini Jr and Bellingham. Now we can also hope for the presence of A.

He was given quite a lot of time, namely he played from the beginning of the first half to the middle of the second half. Even though he didn't score. But its appearance is quite striking.

It's just that this match will be more difficult because the opponent they face is Atletico Madrid. I think if Ancelotti plays Arda Guler then maybe it will only at the end of the match if Real Madrid is already in a safe position in that match.

I don't think Real Madrid Club's success is simply due to the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti. They have been successful for a long time through many generations of coaches. Their management team are truly good people who have brought Real Madrid to the success it is today. A strong reputation and finances are factors that help them always have top young players. They know how to see the potential of young stars, and they always recruit excellent coaches. But many times, we see them still making the mistake of bringing in substandard players. But they always know how to arrange the team, never letting the club fall into a situation where its central stars are missing. After the unsuccessful 2022-2023 season, Real Madrid is "overhauling" the squad to regain glory. Kylian Mbappé is rumored to be joining the club. So if Real Madrid gets the French star, how strong will the quality of Real Madrid's squad be?

The last team in the points table is Almeria. I don't see any chance of Girona dropping points in this match unless Girona are very unlucky. Girona won 4-3 against Atletico Madrid in the last match of La Liga. In the last match, Elche team also beat Girona 2-0. Although the match against Almeria is Girona's away match, Girona team is the favorite in this match.

Girona have played very well since the start of the season. And now the team is second in the table with equal points with Real Madrid. They scored 46 goals in 19 matches. Girona also has the potential to win by a big margin against Almeria. I think Girona will win by at least 2 goals.

Yeah Girona won't waste any time they will take advantage of moments like this, I mean easy moments to get 3 points because they are in a race with Real Madrid and there's no time to waste opportunities. Currently Real Madrid and Girona have the same points this means that one mistake can have an impact on their position in the standings, obviously they don't want that to happen therefore each team will do whatever they can.

On the other hand, Almeria has no hope of surviving in La Liga it has been predicted that Almeria will be the first team to be relegated this season from 19 matches they only collected 5 points so there is no way to get out of this situation while the other 2 teams cannot be confirmed whether cadiz, granada or other teams because based on points at least 5 clubs have close points Sevilla is one of them and only 1-3 points adrift.

First of all, Vini Jr and Bellingham still cannot cover what Benzema has left behind. However, we need to put this aside because it is time for Madrid to have a new composition and move on. Then Ancelotti goals for Madrid future became clearer with the preparation of the new generation, little by little we were introduced to Arda Guller performance. Modric and Kroos will soon end their contact so Ancelotti needs to adapt to young players. The decision to not be active in the transfer market this season also makes sense in order to continue the target of creating player stability.

Arda Guller himself was quite good at starting the match against a club that certainly did not match the quality of Madrid players. Now we just need to see whether Arda Guller will start to be included by Ancelotti in the main squad for bigger competitions like La Liga, because that is the only challenge for Arda Guller to develop further with the real game.

Yes, he should play more on the field with Madrid's main squad because that will give him the opportunity to adapt to playing better than what Ancelotti expected. I see him looking quite good, it's just that it takes time for him to adapt and develop even better, competition of course very tight so he has to show the quality of his game so that Ancelotti uses him in the main squad.

I think it can't be too fast for a player to adapt quickly on the field with the main squad players, especially since he is a young player whose playing hours are certainly less than other star and professional players, making it easier for him to adapt quickly. Guller is a young player that Madrid has. Of course, if Madrid can make him a great player, it will definitely be an advantage for Madrid because they bought him.

[Xxmodded]

The last team in the points table is Almeria. I don't see any chance of Girona dropping points in this match unless Girona are very unlucky. Girona won 4-3 against Atletico Madrid in the last match of La Liga. In the last match, Elche team also beat Girona 2-0. Although the match against Almeria is Girona's away match, Girona team is the favorite in this match.

Girona have played very well since the start of the season. And now the team is second in the table with equal points with Real Madrid. They scored 46 goals in 19 matches. Girona also has the potential to win by a big margin against Almeria. I think Girona will win by at least 2 goals.

Girona four matches later in La Liga

• Almeria
• Sevilla
• Celta Vigo
• Real Sociedad

I don't think Girona will fail get three points with four teams above and potential keep pressure Madrid on first standings position, behind top teams such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid success defeat and I sure four mediocre teams above seems not much problem for Girona keep get three points on every match. Likely the same with Real Madrid will not face difficult opponent team on four matches later except against Atletico Madrid, crucial between Girona and Madrid will face on early February and both team has chance who will lead top standings position.

[tiCeR]

I would not say it was a warm-up match for him. I know that you didn't mean in that way, but some people could understand it that way. The pressure has been building massively and Ancelotti made the right decision to slowly help him to get accustomed with that pressure and this game was a good opportunity to do that. But Ancelotti decided to rotate a lot of players, which I think can be both positive and negative when you are trying to integrate young talents into the team.

Ancelotti experimented with his squad in today's match. He probably tried to understand the potential of the young players in his squad. Arda Guler performed well today. However, he could not score or assist. However, the performance of young player Nicolas Paz was not good enough. Naturally experienced Brahim Diaz and Joselu played well enough. We also saw good performances from Camavinga and Ceballos. However, my focus was on Guler's performance in today's match. Arda Guler is expected to become a regular player in the Madrid squad.

Ye but there is always a little bit of risk if there is too much rotation. There were already a few surprises this season when big clubs tried to rotate a lot in less important games against inferior teams and then the favorites got smashed because of their rotation. Depending on the competition we are talking about, I think getting eliminated from a competition only because rotation was too much is not a good result of an experiment. If there is a lot of rotation, you still want the team to win and have an experience of success. I think that is what creates the maximum benefit for everyone.

[Jossque]

Valencia lost the first half with a goal in the 4th minute.Valencia made good use of their opponent being down to 10 men and started to put the pressure on them in the second half.Valencia won the match with a goal in extra time in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw in normal time. To be honest, I didn't expect them to have so much difficulty because Valencia's squad quality is much higher than their opponent.The opponent is at the bottom of the 2nd division and I didn't think they would attach much importance to the cup match.We can say that they gave Valencia a hard time when they should aim to stay in the league.
