La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[temple]

Almeria played two strong games against the two best teams in La Liga. Against Girona they were able to steal a point and against Real Madrid I think most here have seen some scenes of the game and know how lucky Real Madrid got in the last moment and scored a goal in minute 99 of the game against Almeria. Those two games are two good reasons why I would not underestimate them as a team. They won't win titles, but in a single game they have shown what is possible for them even against the two leading teams in the table. So I think they can beat any team if they can steal points against top teams two times in a row.

Yeah it's worth appreciating even though they can't get points against Madrid but they are quite troublesome because their defense is solid enough to be conquered when the opponent from Almeria does an offensive scheme then they are a strong opponent because of the defensive.
But indeed when facing an opponent of equal level it is a little difficult for them because in the end they will not be too tight in defense because they will definitely compensate for the game when the quality of the players and the level is equal so that this actually backfires for them.

In today's match we see Almeria is so troubled when facing Alaves and even until now they actually have to be 2 goals behind and it is likely that they will lose points again in today's match.

Ok but now something similar happened to them which also happened when they played against Real Madrid and scored those two goals in the first half. Almeria had two shots on target against Real Madrid and both were converted into goals. Now the same happened to Almeria in their home game. Alaves had three shots on target the whole game and they scored three goals despite far lower ball possession and far worse passing accuracy. It's bad for Almeria. They had 11 corners and could get nothing from it.

This was one of those key games that Almeria had to win as their situation is now extremely desperate. Alaves is a mediocre team and three points against these teams in home games is a must. Now it is a 10 points gap till the safety zone and Almeria has played their game for this matchday already.

The table shows some shocked facts. Villareal and Sevilla are playing bad in this season and they performed strongly in some previous seasons like at top of La Liga, went to Champions League semi finals, won Europa League.

In this season, they are facing big problems and if they continue to fall down more, they will be relegated after La Liga 2023 - 2024. They are in strongest and most stable clubs in La Liga last 20 years but seems two latest seasons are times of their serious downs and soon we will see one of them drops to Segunda B.

Sevilla looks to have bigger problems than Villareal and they might not be able to exit relegation zone like the past season.

Real Madrid has been through an 14 matches in Laliga with unbeatable status they even can gets 11 wins from those matches so without doubt Real Madrid is more better than their current opponent Las Palmas but Real Madrid performance last week didn't too satisfied me because they have to hard struggling to gets the winning result from Almeria Real Madrid even almost lost in that match however as underdog status in this match Las Palmas also in the good shape because last week they can beat Rayo with final scores 2-0

Recently i have checked the recent conditions for both teams and i have seen Las Palmas will losing some players because those players were got injured and for Real Madrid they apparently facing unfavourable conditions because if i am not mistaken Real Madrid will lost Bellingham because he got suspension from card accumulation but usually if Bellingham absense Ancelotti will playing Brahim Diaz as attacking midfielder and so far this strategy was successful because Brahim Diaz can able to performing well everytime he was played and although probably Real Madrid will play without Bellingham but they most likely will being an the winner of this match but Real Madrid has low odds @1.42

I have heard that he has some problems with the management in his club in the Saudi League. But I did not hear that Real Madrid is actually considering bringing him in again. And I of course really do not know the authenticity of this. Because there is literally no reason for Real Madrid to bring him in again. Real Madrid is a club that also likes to move on in life.

If Real Madrid had to bring someone in, they're good actually go for Christiano Ronaldo who has been performing really well recently. And that is if they had to get someone from the Saudi League. But again that could have cost money so probably that is not the best comparison. But anyway I still do not see any great reason for them to bring in benzema.

Yeah, there are no chances for the Karim Benzema to join again here at the Real Madrid because they are looking into future and at this age and with his injury problems now he is not able to give his best at this club with now as things are going most chances they will not go for the Kylian Mbappé as well because he is also going out of their budget, and they will never do any mistake while we already have enough problems for the Barcelona which are on verge of collapse due to their huge debit which is not allowing them to have anything positive for their future.

Even news are coming Saudi League organizers are trying their best for settling things with Karim Benzema but if they fail to convey him about stay here at this club or in Saudi League then most chances his next destination could be England or France because no other club are going to accept him with this current salary and bonuses and Real Madrid is already done for him.

What Sevilla is experiencing this season is beyond many people's expectations, this is a big surprise because they have made a lot of squad changes and they should be better than last season but in fact that is not the case, currently Sevilla is very close to the relegation zone.
This season is still quite long and I am sure that a team as big as Sevilla will do a lot to avoid relegation and I believe they can do that.

And another surprise was Girona, no one thought at the start of the season that Girona would be in the top flight, this was like being swapped between Sevilla and Girona.

Yes, fortunately in the last minute Dani Carvajal was able to add a goal for Real Madrid so that the winning position was in Real Madrid and also very dificult to chased because it was a crucial time that Almeria could not catch on time limit.

Las Palmas in my opinion are not so good, their consistency is very lacking when compared to Real Madrid even though Bellingham cannot participate in the match later, and yes Brahim Diaz is the best alternative to replace Belliham and I myself do not doubt the ability possessed by Brahim Diaz, so far he has developed well and basically he has the potential to perform much better if he gets more flying hours. The bookie knows in this match that Real Madrid is far superior to Las Palmas, therefore giving low odds for Real Madrid.

Villareal and Sevilla have indeed experience a decline this season, but what is more surprising is Sevilla in the last 2 seasons because their position in La Liga is not safe. If it weren't for them winning the European League title, maybe this season they wouldn't be able to compete in the Champions League, while Villareal are not completely bad appeared less impressive in La Liga but performed well in the Europa League and qualified for the round of 16 while Sevilla did not qualify for the Champions League competition and was eliminated in the Copa del Rey and Sevilla only hope is to improve its position which is currently ranked 17th which is almost relegation zone.

I think these two clubs can still save themselves from the relegation zone this season because they still have a lot of match to face in Laliga and Sevilla can also focus more on Laliga matches while Villareal still has a busier schedule but still focused on the main competition but I There are doubts whether Villareal can progress to the next round of the European League because their poor performance will definitely have a big impact.

[Strongkored]

Almeria dominated Alaves but failed to score a goal that could have changed the result of their game with Alaves. Almeria had 19 goal attempts, with 7 of them on target, while Alaves had 11 goal attempts, with 3 of them on target, which resulted in the 3 goals Alaves scored against Almeria. There is no way Almeria will not be relegated from La Liga this season because Almeria has played 22 matches in the league, and they have yet to win any match they played in the league.

Almeria's main failure is because they don't have a sharp or productive striker who can turn existing opportunities into goals, plus their weak defense makes it increasingly difficult for this club to win in many matches and they are the only team that has never won, so agree with you that they will definitely be relegated, even with Sevilla, who is the team closest to the bottom three, they are already 10 points apart so it is quite impossible that Almeria will not be relegated this season as well as Granada, there is only one place left and several teams have the opportunity to join Granada and Almeria down the division.
Real Madrid will visit Las Palmas today and the opponent is a promoted team whose performance is quite good so far, they are not very productive but their defense is quite good so the surprising thing that the home team can do is hold Real Madrid to a draw and Jude Bellingham will not play in the match this is due to a yellow card but Real Madrid have enough options so this should be no problem.

And another surprise was Girona, no one thought at the start of the season that Girona would be in the top flight, this was like being swapped between Sevilla and Girona.

every season there are always changes to the teams in a league and the conditions currently experienced by Sevilla are not just this time, in fact other teams have also experienced a decline in performance like this.
Sevilla is one of the popular teams in La Liga even though it is threatened with entering the relegation zone, but that will never happen considering that Sevilla is the holder of the most european league titles. this team will not just give up and maintain its reputation.
regarding Girona, which is in very good form at the moment, it's just luck for Girona to be able to take advantage of the situation when several popular La Liga teams are having problems and try to continue to get points in every match, even though this is just luck, I admit that Girona has pretty good consistency.

btw, regarding Almeria vs Alaves yesterday I said to someone who still had faith that Almeria would win, I said that it would never happen because in terms of depth Alaves current performance is stronger than Almeria so it is only natural that Alaves gets 3 points from beating Almeria.

Las Palmas has been amazing in La Liga this season, and they are in the 8th position in the La Liga table. Real Madrid should take Las Palmas very seriously because they have not conceded a goal in their last two matches in La Liga. If Real Madrid repeats the same performance they displayed against Almeria, I think they might drop points when they visit Las Palmas.

There we come again. The Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has informed the club that they will resign their former striker, Kareem Benzenma, from Al-Itthad. I am so skeptical that if this news is right and Real Madrid has signed Kareem Benzenma so how could they be able to sign another strike Kylian Mbappe? Killyan Mbappe is going to be a free agent, despite Real Madrid also having dreamed about his signing. But I think the Kylian Mbappe situation is In my opinion, the situation with Killian Mbappe is a bit complicated, so the boss of Real Madrid picked Kareem Benzema over Kylian Mbappe to make the team better. Kareem Benzenma is one of the greatest pouchers in the attacking sense although Real Madrid already has the experience of Kareem Benzenma. But anyway We do not know to what extent there is truth in these things. But I think the signing of Kareem Benzema is not appropriate for Real madrid because he turned 37 years old and now he can't be expected to play anymore since he spent 4–5 years with Real Madrid.

The situation is different now.
Last season he was let go without a contract extension which means that Benzema performance at Madrid is over and Benzema has  to continue his adventure at a new club with his current age because although he is one of the players who will certainly be aligned with other legends in Madrid, we must also be aware of the age that has become a barrier at this time.
Madrid are a big club and bringing Benzema back would be nice but i don't think its necessary because they can still find other options rather than relying on an old machine like Benzema again.
Benzema time is over and it's time to replace him with a new one because they have to remain a different person from their rivals who are always discussing  Messi returning at least Madrid should know that.

Now rumors like this are bound to happen because of Benzema problem of not adapting well to the SPL.

I think Las Palmas have no chance in this match... Real Madrid will take the three points and will be top of the standings... If they don't win, Girona will have the opportunity to continue to lead in La Liga... Las Palmas is not a serious opponent for Real Madrid and Real Madrid will not lose points...

I agree with you, Real Madrid must win to take over the standings this is the right time for Madrid to be at the top and collect more points before undergoing a busy schedule, in the next 2-3 weeks Real Madrid will compete in the Champions League well, this match will disturb their concentration and player fitness need to be taken into consideration therefore Real Madrid will try to play optimally in the next 2-3 weeks to be in a safe position. Even though Real Madrid is playing away today, I predict they can win by a difference of 2 goals or more.

[Leviathan.007]

The good news for Real Madrid is about their injured goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Courtois had a good performance at the start of the season but after getting injured and not being in the good form, Andriy Lunin took his place in the team and he became the first goalkeeper of Real Madrid and Kepa Arrizabalaga played in some games for them. But now Courtois is training in Valdebebas and he is getting back to the good form. His training is good enough like he was never injured and it seems Real Madrid can hope to see their first goalkeeper back soon and help them in the next games they are going to have.

Glad to hear this good news but yes, it looks like Real Madrid's defense is still quite good while Thibaut Courtois is injured. Because after all, the results in La Liga so far also mean that Real Madrid is still the team that has conceded the fewest goals. Of course, if Real Madrid's main goalkeeper returns then yes, there seems to be a better guarantee of course for Real Madrid's defense which will be difficult to break down. Therefore, it seems that Real Madrid really has good players for the main players and second tier players because yes, so far this season rotation has continued to occur considering that their key players have been injured several times, but in reality Real Madrid is still getting good results.

The good thing about Real Madrid and Thibaut Courtois is they are going to race in the Champions League in which they should be in the best form and have a good performance in this tournament, obviously in order to reach this goal they will need full power and they need to have their player in the good form, gladly, Thibaut Courtois will be in the good form when Real Madrid needs him in the Champions League however we can't forget even without Courtois, Real Madrid had a good performance so far.

~~ Snip ~~

I have not seen anything other than the loss of Almeria before this match. Almeria have had one of the worst performances this season as they have not won any match out of 21 matches this season, losing 15 and drawing 6. Almeria are at the bottom of the rankings with -25 goal difference.
Moreover, Almeria have lost six of their last ten matches against Deportivo Alaves. Moreover, the players of Deportivo Alaves are in better form than the players of Almaria. Anyway, Deportivo Alaves already managed to score a goal in the first 10 minutes. However, from the point of view of pressure, the position of the ball is currently held by Almeria. Even let's see what they do in the second half. I think Deportivo Alaves will score two more goals in the second half today.

Almeria played two strong games against the two best teams in La Liga. Against Girona they were able to steal a point and against Real Madrid I think most here have seen some scenes of the game and know how lucky Real Madrid got in the last moment and scored a goal in minute 99 of the game against Almeria. Those two games are two good reasons why I would not underestimate them as a team. They won't win titles, but in a single game they have shown what is possible for them even against the two leading teams in the table. So I think they can beat any team if they can steal points against top teams two times in a row.

In two of Almería's last three matches in La Liga, they have had very tough opponents, meaning that two of the last three matches have been against Real Madrid and Girona who are at the top of the points table. Almería lost 3–2 against Real Madrid despite a goalless draw against Girona. Despite losing 3-2 against Real Madrid, the team's performance in that match was good enough to expect Almería to do better in the next match. Although expected to do well against Alavés, Almería disappointed us as Almería lost to Alavés by a huge margin in this match. If we talk about Almería's last match then this team did not perform well at all due to which they were defeated by a huge margin of 3-0 goals. As this team did well against Real Madrid and Girona, it should have done well against Alavés, but it didn't.

Everything looks dark for Almeria this season, after being beaten again by Alaves with a score of 3-0 in front of their own supporters. So their poor record continues, in fact their performance is very far from their last visit to the Santiago Bernabeu. So it is quite reasonable to say that Almeria will most likely be degradation, because their next two matches are quite tough, against Valencia and Bilbao. The additional three points for Alaves are very useful, as they are almost breaking into the top 10 in the standings and are now only separated by the number of goals from Getafe.

Almeria is a source of points for other La Liga contestants, their best performance is only stuck in a draw, victory has become a rare thing this season for them. Last season Almeria was able to survive the degradation zone with a difference of one point from Valladolid, closing the season with a collection of 41 points with details of 11 wins, 8 draws and 19 defeats. But now they are only able to pocket 6 points from 6 draws, not talking about winning at all. Their performance is very much down from last season, so it is not an exaggeration to say they are almost certain to be relegated.

[8rch7]

I think Las Palmas have no chance in this match... Real Madrid will take the three points and will be top of the standings... If they don't win, Girona will have the opportunity to continue to lead in La Liga... Las Palmas is not a serious opponent for Real Madrid and Real Madrid will not lose points...

Are you sure with Las Palmas not have any chance for this week match against the 2nd standings team Real Madrid? I watched Madrid's match last week and got difficult for winning against relegation team Almeria before referee helped them with many VAR controversial. Currently Las Palmas has stable performance with two consecutive winning matches and they are on confidence performance against Real Madrid in front of their fans.
Two winning capital against Villareal and Rayo Vallecano seems more enough capital for Las Palmas against Real Madrid today and they have target move to UEFA Conference League spot standings behind 4 points left from Real Sociedad.

[dezoel]

Almeria lost again, now Alaves is leading the match with a score of 1 – 0. It looks like they failed to show the performance they did when they met Madrid yesterday, and it is possible that their bad record this season will continue. Playing in front of your own fans doesn't make everything good, but this is not completely over yet, and if they are lucky Almeria can force Alaves to draw in the remaining time.

The game is still ongoing, and Alaves are still leading the match with a score of 2-0, but from indications, Almeria is also trying their best, most especially in their possession and accuracy. We should at least appreciate almeria.

Although I know of their un-encouraging performance this season of not winning a single match unless they draw or lose the game, even in today’s game, Almeria's performance is way better than that of Alaves. It's just that Alaves has the luck of scoring today’s goal; if not even the shots on target that Almeria has are more than that of Alaves, all I will say is that Almeria's performance this season is going to an unknown destination. No one can say the reason why their performance is increasing and decreasing at the same time, or I will say they didn’t have any luck this season, so they should just bear it because I don't see them winning today’s game, but we can’t conclude results until after the game.

After giving their best in last two games against top teams like Girona and Real Madrid yesterday we have another good performance, but sadly they were completely unable to score any goal and have anything positive from this match which is surely miserable in both halves they have done impressive job and play aggressive game but still they were not able to score any goal and at the end have defeat with the score of 0–3 which mean things are completely down for them, and they have no chance for the recovery.

Next season they could be in La Liga2 Alves having now three matches winning streak and their spot is also in middle of the league table with now their next challenge is against Barcelona which is also struggling, so things could be interesting into this game while their moral is also high, and they can give challenging performance against any team.

[3meek]

I think Las Palmas have no chance in this match... Real Madrid will take the three points and will be top of the standings... If they don't win, Girona will have the opportunity to continue to lead in La Liga... Las Palmas is not a serious opponent for Real Madrid and Real Madrid will not lose points...

Even though Real Madrid is playing away today, I predict they can win by a difference of 2 goals or more.

I certainly don't rule out surprises in football, sometimes unpredictable things happen... But Real Madrid is one of the most stable teams in Europe... I don't remember that in recent games they lost to clubs like Las Palmas... If they were playing for example Atletico Madrid or even Sociedad, you could have doubts... But Las Palmas are not a competitor here...

[BlackBoss_]

What Sevilla is experiencing this season is beyond many people's expectations, this is a big surprise because they have made a lot of squad changes and they should be better than last season but in fact that is not the case, currently Sevilla is very close to the relegation zone.
This season is still quite long and I am sure that a team as big as Sevilla will do a lot to avoid relegation and I believe they can do that.

They are repeating their bad first half of season like the last season and the next half, second half of season will decide they stay in La Liga or will be relegated. The past season, they impressively bounced in the second half and exit relegation zone to stay in La Liga. They even won Europa League last season but this season is giving me feeling that Sevilla are becoming worse.

First they no longer end Champions League group with a third position to be demoted to Europa League. Second I don't see they shown anything positively to play better recent weeks. It's more dangerous to fall into similar situations, season by season and if Sevilla repeats it again and again, soon they will no longer play in La Liga.

[Velvet78]

Atletico Madrid could be potential winners of the Cup Competition as they went on to defeat Sevilla by scoring a lone goal with the help of Memphis Depay who gave them the winner.
Fans and non fans are already saying all sorts of words to Greezmann who has been a good player not just that important to the point that he has cemented his place in the club and it's unshakeable.

For Barcelona, the management are right behind the Spardinad but then, he needs to fix his boys and make sure that they don't finish in a poor position.
Inaki Williams the Ghanian did come back from the Afcon to score a goal off course for his side.

Griezmann is really one of the most important players for Atletico Madrid. He has always been like that though. This is Griezmann's home at the same time because he has shown his best performances at Atletico Madrid during his whole career so far. It is nice to see him returning here after a two-season journey at Barcelona. 

Xavi indeed needs to make improvement otherwise I don't know how long he would continue to be backed up by the board. I wouldn't like to see Xavi's end being similar to Koeman. Because Xavi did great things with Barcelona in the La Liga in the previous season.
