La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[puloweh555]

This season Barcelona lost in all aspects to its rivals, the crushing defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup showed how weak Barcelona's defense was, the sharpness of the front line was also not as sharp as last season. Barcelona must learn valuable lessons from the humiliating defeat they just experienced in the Super Cup final, now they need to maintain their performance in the UCL, La Liga and Copa Del Rey.

I still hope that Xavi can bring changes to improve performance to win one of the trophies that are still possible to win. This season has not gone perfectly for Barcelona, there are still many changes that Xavi needs to make in order to bring Barcelona back into the race for the La Liga title.

Yes that's right. This season, Barcelona lost in all aspects to Real Madrid. Different from the previous season, even though Barcelona was facing financial problems, they were able to keep up with Real Madrid and managed to win La Liga. However, this season it seems like Barcelona can no longer keep up with Real Madrid because Real Madrid has brought in quality players while Barcelona hasn't. So Barcelona's defeat against Real was not the fault of the coach or players. Because the club cannot be separated from finances. So it is very difficult for Barcelona to recruit great players. Even though there are free players, Barcelona still cannot afford to pay his salary.

I also read the latest news that Xavi's position is still safe until the end of the season because club management does not want to disturb the team's balance in the middle of the ongoing season. So this is Xavi's opportunity to prove that he still deserves to be at Barcelona, that he can win at least one title this season and the most realistic one is the Copa Del Rey. The UCL and LaLiga leagues have been difficult for Barcelona this season.

If we objectively evaluate the team's condition, then I would not be so optimistic that Barcelona can claim at least one trophy. I very much doubt that Real will allow them to reduce the 7-point gap in the remaining rounds, and as for the Champions League, they simply will not be able to compete with teams like Real, City and Bayern, by the way, the last game with Real showed this well.

And it’s hard to say what’s wrong with the team, Xavi has a very strong squad that could fight on equal terms, but for some reason, their defense became worse, and the attack did not become stronger, the loss of Dembele most likely affected this.

Valencia is getting stronger in securing their victory and the last time they overthrew hosts Cadiz with a landslide score of 1-4. Actually, I didn't expect that Valencia would be this productive in scoring goals, but because their opponent was not a strong team, it was easier for them to score goals. Another record is also a winning streak of 3 times in the last 5 matches and Valencia only suffered 1 defeat and 1 draw.

The result as we see now is that Valencia is no longer a bottom team and they sit in 8th position in the standings. It is very interesting to see their journey this season and I think they are likely to be able to secure a place in European competition next season if they continue to produce good results. Today Valencia will compete in the Copa Del Rey against Celta Vigo and if Valencia can still win, of course that could be even better capital for the match in La Liga this week.

I definitely agree. Usually I would say that there are so many games left to be played in La Liga, but no, Barcelona won't have a chance to close that gap and even come out on top by the end of the season in La Liga.

In the Champions League I would be blown away if they made it into the final. I can look at it from many perspectives, but in the quarterfinals and semifinals they will meet at least one team that will eliminate them.

Then there is Copa del Rey and only Real Madrid will decide who is going to win that title. If Real Madrid gets knocked out unexpectedly, then maybe Barcelona has a chance. But I don't think Real Madrid will lose focus and get knocked out before the final.

After losing points in the most unexpected game I'm curious about what Girona will do against Sevilla home next time. Sevilla are also one of the worst teams in the league this season. Technically Girona should be able to make up for what they did against Almeria by this game. But will I make a bet on Girona this time? Hell no. 

But I feel like Girona will win this game as long as we see their usual performance this time. Sevilla are just really weak at defending these days. Girona can score multiple goals against them easily in their best shape.

Girona is in form right now and is seriously vying for the La Liga title this season, so there is little that Sevilla can do to stop Girona—especially since Sevilla got off to a strong start. Girona will undoubtedly prevail over Sevilla. There are moments when I wonder what is wrong with most of these teams; they play well at first, but toward the end of the day, they start to lose ground and fall behind. What happened between Girona and Almeria i don't believe the same thing will happen between Girona and sevilla. I will still prefer to bet on Girona than to bet on sevila. If you want to predict games like this you consider their capacity in previous games and that is why I said Girona will win.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

It wasn't entirely Lewandowski's fault, but if you look at the attacking lines of the last 15 years, then they are now not even close in quality to what they were used to at Barcelona. I understand the frustration when they are still longing for two strikers like Suarez and Messi, The attacking line Barcelona now has is much weaker. But it is not only the attacking line, it is the midfield and the defense that are both not as strong anymore.

Real Madrid made a lot of right decisions. Barcelona has some great talents, but they don't have players that are so decisive like Vinicius Junior or Bellingham. I also think that Real Madrid's defensive players are stronger in aggregate than Barcelona's defensive players.

Lewandowski will never be able to play alone without the support of his friends so blaming himself personally is not appropriate. Barcelona is experiencing setbacks this season and although the condition is not too bad, it is quite affecting the players' performance because this club has big names that are constantly talked about by many people. Apart from the attack line, the condition of the middle and back players is also problematic because there is no balance that can give the team victory.

It's different because Real Madrid has good finances and they can buy finished players without having to wait for players to be promoted. Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties and this cannot be done by them so whether they want to or not they rely on young players who have just received promotion.

[cozytrade]

Xavi as a coach must be responsible for Barcelona's current poor performance, but management must also provide support to bring in new players in this transfer market to improve the quality of the team, otherwise Barcelona will not be able to win any titles this season.

In a situation like this, there are many who are beginning to doubt Xavi. Although I think Barcelona have not been as bad as Man United in the EPL meaning Barcelona are still on a pretty good path. Although indeed 2 defeats in the match at the Elclasico many speak of Xavi having failed. Remember the change from Koeman, Xavi was very instrumental. He shaped Barcelona until now, and this period I have not said Xavi should be replaced with a new coach. But some people may think differently, rumors of selling some players to buy new players do not seem to be the right solution. This is because the players sold are regular players who perform quite well.

Nothing to doubt Xavi here. First you need to understand what is the main problem of Barcelona club. Some people keep blaming Xavi without trying to understand the real problem, I think it's kind of stupid. If all those people tried to understand the challenges Xavi is going through this season, they would be thanking Xavi instead of blaming him. Barcelona is currently a financially strapped club, unable to sign top quality players due to the financial crisis. However, I think Xavi is capable of managing Barcelona very efficiently. Xavi can still give Barcelona his best and develop performances.

Today Valencia will compete in the Copa Del Rey against Celta Vigo and if Valencia can still win, of course that could be even better capital for the match in La Liga this week.

But on the La Liga rankings, Valencia is currently only 2 points above the relegation group. Currently, Valencia's offensive firepower has improved significantly to bring significant threats to Celta Vigo. As for the away team, Celta Vigo is also in good form, with three consecutive unbeaten matches. However, the history of confrontation is entirely against Celta, and the chances of progressing are slim. Remember, Celta Vigo lost 5 and drew only once in the last 6 matches against Valencia. Plus, With home field advantage, I believe Valencia is confident to win.

It's different because Real Madrid has good finances and they can buy finished players without having to wait for players to be promoted. Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties and this cannot be done by them so whether they want to or not they rely on young players who have just received promotion.

Financial problems are always an obstacle for a club to become stronger, Madrid is able to bring in quality and expensive young players and the results are quite satisfactory so that their players can be relied on to win many titles this season, after winning the Spanish Super Cup of course they also targeting LaLiga, Copa Del Rey and UCL this season, but on the one hand, Barcelona's financial problems are their big problem now.

Of course, Barcelona also wants to buy talented and quality young players, but because of financial problems, their wishes have to be postponed and they only rely on promoted players, which of course need time to become quality players. Barcelona must look for other ways to recover their finances. for example, selling several players who no longer contribute fully to Barcelona so that they can cut expenses so that their financial problems can be resolved a little.

Madrid's victory yesterday against Barcelona some time ago showed that Barcelona is not as great as before and fortunately Madrid has classy and quality players who made Madrid win easily to win the Spanish Super Cup title. But the competition between the two doesn't stop there because they will definitely also compete for the title in LaLiga and the Copa Del Rey

He will, but he needs more time to achieve that. Xavi need top players in certain positions so his strategy will be worked best in the field.
There is some negative news about Xavi now because the management needs someone to blame after being slaughtered by Madrid.
And some people who read it might think the same, but after Barca back in the track, many people will hail Xavi again.

The challenge that Xavi has accepted is not only in this season because after all, the fact that when Xavi was appointed by Barcelona to replace Koeman at that time was also basically a big challenge for Xavi. So yes, because Xavi has managed to restore Barcelona until now, of course the results that Barcelona have had until now is also not completely bad. Because after all, basically with Barcelona still able to compete well in the top four in La Liga it is still a good result for Barcelona.

Although indeed, if we consider about the trophy this season then yes it is clear, that this season Barcelona does not have as good a chance as in the previous season to get the trophy. Also, we can't expect much in terms of signings because after all, Barcelona are still experiencing financial problems and thus, we shouldn't expect Barcelona to sign expensive players in the transfer window.

If you want to predict games like this you consider their capacity in previous games and that is why I said Girona will win.

In the match against Almeria, at least Girona did not experience defeat. So it's not too bad an outcome. It's just that in that match Girona seemed to have lost their confidence. And could not penetrate the defense built by Almeria. So Girona couldn't make many attacks in this match. However, Girona's defense remained strong even though Almeria endangered Girona's goal several times.

So I might prefer to bet on Girona. Because getting 1 point against Almeria will not be enough to consider Girona to have lost their ability this season. Girona will definitely not repeat the same mistake. They have definitely learned from the match they faced against Almeria. Namely, Girona should not underestimate a weak team which could make them difficult throughout the match. So in the match against Sevilla, Girona will definitely make better and more thorough preparations so that they can still get good results and get full points.

Since last season, Sevilla has even had a lower ranking than Girona. Girona finished ranked 10th last season. Meanwhile, Sevilla finished in 12th place last season. And now Girona leads in first place in the standings. Meanwhile, Sevilla is still struggling to avoid the relegation zone and currently Sevilla is ranked 17th. Which means Sevilla is almost slipping into the relegation zone.

Xavi can still give Barcelona his best and develop performances.

If he is not willing to be blamed, then do not hire him as a head coach of barcelona who was responsible for anything happened in the barcelona. There is also other club who have fewer resources compared to the barcelona who was still performing so well.
don't use financial problem as an excuse caused by this problem was also coming from the barcelona itself. You can compare barcelona to the girona this time. Girona used so many players were taking as loans from other clubs.

It's not able performing even better compared to the barceloan. There's nothing wrong when the public was blaming him caused by the fans who were also supporting the club and deserved the good result from the club they have supported it.
Saying that he is solely to blame is an oversimplification, as it was also a way for people to voice their disappointment. There will always be pros and cons and that totally depends on your choice on which side you will be standing on.

People can freely blame him. It's his responsibility when his club was getting bad achievement. It's always the way for the fans and public to tell him which thing that need to be solved.

In the Champions League I would be blown away if they made it into the final. I can look at it from many perspectives, but in the quarterfinals and semifinals they will meet at least one team that will eliminate them.

With the way Barcelona plays, it would be a miracle for them to make it to the semi-finals of the champions. They do not play well at all. They concede too many goals. How can a team like Barcelona be trailing 2-0 to Madrid in under 10 minutes? A defense like that doesn't go far in the Champions League.
The only chance they have against Napoli is that Napoli is also in a very bad phase of their own.

Barcelona's problems are not very big IMO me. All they have to do is stop conceding goals and start scoring goals. That's all they need to figure out how to do.

If Xavi doesn't win any trophy this season, I believe he should be sacked. He has done so well for Barcelona by taking them out of where Koeman put them, but I don't think he's the man to make them a fearsome side in Europe. They need someone else for that.

[hyudien]

I can't understand how Girona played in week 20 and how they ended up with a draw. They didn't play like they usually do and Almeria were successful in their strategy. The team that has been strong and even they can beat Barcelona and also Atletico Madrid but they can't beat Almeria who are at the bottom of the table.
Indeed, in this case we cannot predict because anything can happen. No matter how big the difference between the teams playing, the difference is not a guarantee that the strongest team will win. Girona have shown us that.

[Blitzboy]

Even though Barcelona themselves weren't performing near to the rate of Madrid's, they still did their best to keep up in the game. They've only got to work on their confidence and charisma in the game, the UCL tournament is still heated up and they've got to prove their spot there too.

This season Barcelona lost in all aspects to its rivals, the crushing defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup showed how weak Barcelona's defense was, the sharpness of the front line was also not as sharp as last season. Barcelona must learn valuable lessons from the humiliating defeat they just experienced in the Super Cup final, now they need to maintain their performance in the UCL, La Liga and Copa Del Rey.

I still hope that Xavi can bring changes to improve performance to win one of the trophies that are still possible to win. This season has not gone perfectly for Barcelona, there are still many changes that Xavi needs to make in order to bring Barcelona back into the race for the La Liga title.

Let me say it straight out: Barcelona has played awful this season. We lost the Super Cup to Madrid, but it wasnt just a loss; it was a wake-up call to the big problems we have. Our defense isn't very good, and our players arent scoring. To turn this ship around is a huge job, and I dont think Xavi is up to it.

The January trade window was a chance that was lost. We should have done something, but now we have the same problems. No matter what the cost, we need to start planning for rebuilding right away, even if it means making some tough choices. Its embarrassing how poorly we play against teams in our league. We need to get with the program or next season we'll be watching the UCL from our couches.

Anyone who thinks that Barcelona current poor performance is as a result of poor coaching from the manager Xavi Hernandez clearly do not understand what's actually been happening at the club recently. Barcelona in the last four transfer windows haven't been as busy as they're supposed to be as one of the biggest clubs in Europe and that's because of the financial crises that's bedeviled the club for the past three years. Xavi Hernandez in his managerial capacity have tried to even make sure that Barcelona remain competitive despite having a limited options of top quality players to choose from and that's why he's supposed to be praised for keeping the club in competitive positions at this crucial time of the club.

Last season, he helped the club to win the Spanish La Liga title and have also tried his possible best to keep them in the fourth position of the league table. Should Barcelona sack him at this crucial time, then I think Barcelona will be worse than their current performance.

Barcelona is experiencing setbacks this season and although the condition is not too bad, it is quite affecting the players' performance because this club has big names that are constantly talked about by many people.

Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties and this cannot be done by them so whether they want to or not they rely on young players who have just received promotion.

I owe you an explanation regarding Barcelona's condition. The depth of Barcelona's squad this season is not too different from last season, but the impact of player injuries has caused their performance to decline. Araujo, Kounde, Pedri, Lewandowski, Raphinha are not in their best form after injury, even De Jong is not so good.

Barcelona does not have a right-back and Xavi tends to rotate Kounde and Araujo in that position. Sometimes both of their performances are good and Barcelona can finish the match according to plan, but in some matches the two of them may not appear impressive. That is a problem that Xavi has to solve, but of course this is not an easy job when some people really want Barcelona to appear without any problems.

[Ahli38]

How can a team like Barcelona be trailing 2-0 to Madrid in under 10 minutes? A defense like that doesn't go far in the Champions League.

Barcelona's problems are not very big IMO me. All they have to do is stop conceding goals and start scoring goals. That's all they need to figure out how to do.

If Xavi doesn't win any trophy this season, I believe he should be sacked. He has done so well for Barcelona by taking them out of where Koeman put them, but I don't think he's the man to make them a fearsome side in Europe. They need someone else for that.

Since last season, Barcelona seemed unprepared for bigger competition. So last season Barcelona was eliminated in the group stage and then they were thrown into the European League. And then they also failed in the Europa League. But fortunately, Xavi managed to make Barcelona focus on Laliga and made Barcelona win the Laliga title last season. And everyone was still happy about winning the title because for the 3 seasons before that Barcelona had always failed to win the title in Laliga. But thanks to Xavi we can see Barcelona lift the trophy again in Laliga.

But the problem is that Barcelona is not very reliable in the Champions League. Because Barcelona's consistency at this time is starting to decline and is unstable. So many people are starting to doubt Barcelona in the Champions League. Even in Laliga, Barcelona seems to be having difficulty fighting for the title. Because the difference in points with Girona and Real Madrid is also widening.

But actually, in the last 16 of the Champions League, Barcelona can also be said to be quite lucky. Because the opponent they faced in the round of 16 was Napoli, who were not as strong as last season. Well, last season Napoli were very strong and even dominated Serie A and won Serie A easily under Spalletti's coaching. But since they changed coaches everything has changed. Even now, Napoli is only ranked 8th in Serie A. So if Barcelona can return their performance to a better performance then of course Barcelona should be able to beat Napoli, whose condition is indeed more inconsistent this season. So Barcelona has the opportunity to go further in the Champions League.

This season Barcelona lost in all aspects to its rivals, the crushing defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup showed how weak Barcelona's defense was, the sharpness of the front line was also not as sharp as last season. Barcelona must learn valuable lessons from the humiliating defeat they just experienced in the Super Cup final, now they need to maintain their performance in the UCL, La Liga and Copa Del Rey.

I still hope that Xavi can bring changes to improve performance to win one of the trophies that are still possible to win. This season has not gone perfectly for Barcelona, there are still many changes that Xavi needs to make in order to bring Barcelona back into the race for the La Liga title.

If we objectively evaluate the team's condition, then I would not be so optimistic that Barcelona can claim at least one trophy. I very much doubt that Real will allow them to reduce the 7-point gap in the remaining rounds, and as for the Champions League, they simply will not be able to compete with teams like Real, City and Bayern, by the way, the last game with Real showed this well.

And it’s hard to say what’s wrong with the team, Xavi has a very strong squad that could fight on equal terms, but for some reason, their defense became worse, and the attack did not become stronger, the loss of Dembele most likely affected this.

I definitely agree. Usually I would say that there are so many games left to be played in La Liga, but no, Barcelona won't have a chance to close that gap and even come out on top by the end of the season in La Liga.

In the Champions League I would be blown away if they made it into the final. I can look at it from many perspectives, but in the quarterfinals and semifinals they will meet at least one team that will eliminate them.

Then there is Copa del Rey and only Real Madrid will decide who is going to win that title. If Real Madrid gets knocked out unexpectedly, then maybe Barcelona has a chance. But I don't think Real Madrid will lose focus and get knocked out before the final.

Barca will have nothing to win this season due to their current state, it is a club that is strong at the moment that is capable of winning trophies. We saw that last season when they were the strongest in Laliga, how they won the league and the super cup. This is Real Madrid season as you can see it that it is written all over the wall, due to their superb form and consistent winning.

Pardon me, if I say that Real Madrid might win four trophies this season, which are Super cup which they won last week, Copa del Rey, Laliga and Champions league. I see their squad capable of winning all four competitions. However, it is not yet clear to me if they will win the champions league but during the semifinals, I will know this. Real Madrid has 60% chance of winning UCL.
