La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[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.

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...

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.

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.

Las Palmas' chances are really not great because Real Madrid's motivation is too great, they have to win and get ahead of Girona, and Las Palmas' chances in the Euro Cup zone are not that good, competing with Sociedad and even Valencia is not an easy task. Even look at the odds, Real are only 1.42 away, this suggests that the bookmakers also do not believe that Las Palmas can cause problems for Real today.

[Toro iskandar]

I think Almeria is now getting more difficult and I think it will be difficult for Almeria to recover, but Almeria's matches are always exciting and full of surprises. Yes, but I hope Gaizka Garitano can improve his team's performance because I see that Almeria's back line looks weak which makes it very easy for opponents to break through with the ball. Almeria's next match will be against Valencia. I hope Almeria wins the match because I want to see Almeria win the match.

I also see that currently Almeria seems to be having difficulty performing better and what's more, Almeria is currently still in the bottom position of the Spanish La Liga standings. And Almeria was previously defeated by Alaves with a score of 3-2 at home and of course this was a sadness for Almeria fans. And of course we already know that Alaves appeared more impressive and impressive by winning against Almeria 6 times in 10 matches until Alaves managed to achieve a La Liga double against top teams last season and this also proves that currently Alaves is not a good team. Good. careless but a team that has good strength and defense. Meanwhile, Almeria has only been able to achieve one win from 9 matches so far.

[makishart]

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.

The most possible thing to see benzema to go to the another league. he will not be back to the real madrid again coz the club was not need him right now. Real madrid needs someone who would be able to perform as good as bellingham.
We have been even closer to the end of season but no progress happened with this club. Benzema is likely going to the EPL instead of la liga. Real madrid is only seeking the good talent like bellingham which was still young but he could still become top scorer at the end of season.

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.

I prefer to see him joining in the england club. I have seen him played in the french league with lyon. it's time for benzema to play in the league that never played it before. This is also becoming the main problem for al ittihad.
Benzema's deal looks very complicated and he was only willing to play for the big club. So, arsenal has become the best answer for him right now. We are aware of who Benzema is and have knowledge about his identity.
My preference is for him to play in the English Premier League as I believe it would be the best fit for his skills and talents. This action will play a crucial role in helping him regain his reputation once more.

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.

Barcelona not good enough to enter the competitive league race this season, poor decisions from the board and the coach. Xavi Hernandez have the necessary tools to explore his team but he need changes to occurred in the club if he's keen on progress. Diego Simeone is really happy to worked with the Frenchman once again, there are simplicities that ought to be meant, Griezmann fits into the system of Atletico Madrid smoothly because he's one of the oldest player in the club, Antoine Griezmann is a essential player for Atletico Madrid and have served his time.

Each player has different characteristics and of course not all players are compatible with coaches who also have different characters and tactics, teammates also have a big influence.
That's what Griezmann felt when he was at Barcelona and I think this is quite normal and he can return to his best performance when he returns to Atletico Madrid.

Regarding the problems currently being experienced by Barcelona, it has been quite protracted and there are so many internal problems with the team that in the near future it will be difficult for them to get up and restore Barcelona's glory again.

[Kristiyana]

Almeria lost its game by 3 goals to 0 against Alaves which managed to score most of the opportunities it got.

There is some interesting games today especially between Barcelona and Villarreal and everything wonder if Xavi will continue coaching Barcelona if he lost this match too. Real Madrid shouldn't have a hard one against Las Palmas depending on their ability to score. Real Sociedad should win and Real Betis are showing lower odds comparing to Mallorca which is playing home. I believe the lower odds of Real Betis are also due to their bad performance and results lately.

Barcelona's performance is very erratic. However, Barcelona have won the last three matches in La Liga. Barcelona will now need to win every match consistently if they are to claim the top spot in the table. Because now Barcelona is 7 points behind Madrid.
Villarreal are not in good form this season. So Barcelona are very unlikely to drop points in their home match today. Barcelona will probably win today, but Barcelona won't win by a very big margin.

Las Palmas is not a strong opponent for Madrid. However, Madrid's players will have to play carefully. Because las Palmas' defense is strong. If Las Palmas players are able to score the first goal of the match, it will be difficult for Madrid to get 3 points in this match.

[topbitcoin]

Barcelona have also been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by the way just like Real Madrid have. Barcelona also had a tough matchup though. Because Athletic Bilbao are doing a really good job this season. During extra time they stayed stronger than Barcelona. It looks like we are going to have a different champion this time.

Actually we have been used to seeing really unexpected teams to win this cup in the recent years.    Betis, Real Sociedad and Valencia are examples for that. Atletico Madrid are still a part of this cup as a big team. It has been a long time since they last won this title too. I'm favouring them for the title.

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.

Inaki Williams the Ghanian did come back from the Afcon to score a goal off course for his side.

They are indeed one of the strong candidates at the moment because seeing from what happened in the Copa del Rey with the strength of the team owned then Atletico is now the most likely to have a great opportunity but they still have a rival in this case because after all, by looking at the remaining clubs in the Copa del Rey of course we cannot rule out Real Sociedad for now.
They have a pretty good chance too actually because when talking about performance stability and consistency then indeed Soicedad currently has the same opportunity as Atletico.

This semi-final will bring Atletico together with Bilbao and Mallorca against Sociedad. I hope to see Sociedad and Atletico in the final but something like this is too beautiful if speculation happens easily because of course Mallorca and Bilbao also cannot be underestimated when they have entered the semi-finals this time.

[Blitzboy]

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.

Villareal and Sevilla, La Liga and European powerhouses, are struggling, which is sad. Given their past successes and personnel changes, I wasnt expecting Sevilla's sharp dip. Very confusing. Season performance doesnt fulfill long-term goals. Their precarious relegation status shows how quickly football fortunes can change. Teams, supporters, and management awaken.

Villareal's situation is less dire but nonetheless worrisome. Their Europa League performance is promising, but their domestic play requires development. Although both clubs have a long season, Sevilla's perilous situation demands them to recover. I believe Sevilla can rebound; the season is far from over, and a football comeback is never too late. Villareal must balance league and European aspirations. Though difficult, I think they can overcome it with strategic preparation and football wizardry.

Do you think Barcelona will lose points in this match? I don't think so, Barcelona will win this match. I think Xavi should also stay in the team, after all, he is someone who does his best by evaluating the players he has.
Also, the team's performance is not bad at all, I don't see any reason for him to leave the team

[HajiBagi]

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

Although Real Madrid struggles to defeat Almeria in a timely manner, I believe this is because Real Madrid players are in desperate need of rest after playing little or no rest for the past two weeks. Real Madrid will undoubtedly defeat Las Palmas because of their superior performance. It is difficult to win a trophy while playing against a tough opponent in the Copa del Rey, but I think Real Madrid will win today's match against Las Palmas because, at the moment, they are more focused on winning the Liga title than any trophies, and since they are currently in second place in the league standings, there is no doubt that Real Madrid will win.

And Bellingham isn't playing today due to the yellow cards he received. However, real Madrid has players like Joelu and Brahim Diaz who can take his place. These players have proven to Ancelotti that they can still be real Madrid players by consistently finding ways to win every game they play, and I think these players are excellent enough to be the team's main players.

[rendravolt]

Do you think Barcelona will lose points in this match? I don't think so, Barcelona will win this match. I think Xavi should also stay in the team, after all, he is someone who does his best by evaluating the players he has.
Also, the team's performance is not bad at all, I don't see any reason for him to leave the team

I also have the thought that Barcelona will not lose this match and as the host it would be very embarrassing if the Blaugrana lost. There may be doubts about favoring Barcelona to win and even if the match is quite fierce, I quite believe that Barcelona can always win in the final minutes of the match. They have successfully proven this in several previous matches in La Liga and they can always win late, regardless of luck.

It's impossible for Xavi to leave Barcelona and I think management has to think about the worst possibility if Xavi leaves in the middle of the season like this. That will damage everything in the team and at least they have to believe in the results given by Xavi until the end of the season and after that the management can evaluate his performance more deeply. Whether he stays or not depends on the club's decision and I think Xavi is still quite safe as long as Barcelona is still in the top four of the standings until the end of the season.

[X-ray]

Almeria's performance is really bad this season, again they suffered a defeat which made it difficult for them to get up from the relegation zone, and this is Almeria 16th defeat in 22 matches and they have not won a single win in so many matches in the league, I think it is very likely They are a club that is certain to be relegated this season even though they still have a lot of matches to play, but I think with Almeria current performance it seems impossible for them to get out of the red zone.

Meanwhile, Alaves was able to perform extraordinary in this match, they scored 3 goals against the hosts who played very badly and the home defense was also very bad, Almeria was also unable to respond to the attacks carried out by Alaves even though they were playing at home, so they achieved 3 points Alaves can add to their collection of points and continue to improve their position in the top 10 and currently Alaves has the same points as the club in 10th place.

Alaves was in another level compared to the almeria. Almeria has been dominating the match and it builds also trust from the community to pick it but it was very disappointed to see that how almeria has very weak defensive lines.

No matter how hard almeria tried to score, alaves consistently found ways to prevent them from succeeding. Congratulation caused by alaves were destroying almeria. Almeria is now in 0 chance to leave from the relegation zone.
This is a horrible result for the club and I'm sure that all of Lameria fans are feeling so disappointed. It's caused by the club performed like a promised club to win against alaves.

Although Alaves has only made a few goal attempts, each of these attempts can be regarded as a successful attack. It's caused by alaves was scroing three goals while almeria stuck with its zero goal.
It proves that there was a big gap between almeria and laaves this time. Almeria has put in a lot of effort to try and beat Alaves, but unfortunately, they have not been able to achieve victory yet. This is the main problem that needs to be fixed asap.
