La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Odohu]

Like Real Madrid for example as you rightly said the club lack a good striker to deliver the goals, ever since Bezema left that wife, there have not been any good replacements, which is why the club either settles for draw or lose, this is effecting the club greatly in this season.

Even though I'm tempted to agree with you, I think Real Madrid is doing just fine with the advantage of having so many players scoring for them instead of building the entire team around a striker. The few past matches has seen Vinicius Junior, Joselu and Jude Bellingham all scoring great goals that produced good results for Madrid unlike before that all attention will be on Benzema to do the scoring. Even if Real Madrid misses a quality striker like Benzema, I think they have already evolved. Their result is really not that bad because they are still at the top of the La Liga table with 7 points clear from their closes rival Girona. The are still very much in the Champions league tournament so what more could they be asking for? In my opinion, Real Madrid is doing very fine.

[kawetsriyanto]

I basically doubted Real Madrid since Benzema decided to go to the Saudi Pro League, while Real Madrid couldn't find a suitable replacement other than Joselu. But the signing of Jude Bellingham and the team's performance in overcoming challenges has made things look easy. Of course, there have been many cases of injuries experienced by Real Madrid throughout this season, but they have all passed with confidence.

Real Madrid leads the standings with a points gap that is also influenced by the inconsistent performance of Girona and Barcelona. Girona once led the standings and could more or less be a threat to anyone including Real Madrid, but in the end their performance dropped plus Barcelona failed in many matches. Obviously it has helped Real Madrid a lot this season and everything has become easier.

In the early of the season, many people should doubt Real Madrid because they have no longer a machine goal. It is true that Benzema left the club and Real Madrid only signed Joselu as the replacement. But Ancelotti has a great idea to change the tactic and the formation of Real Madrid. It is proven effective because Real Madrid can optimize the ability of Bellingham, Vinicius, and Rodrygo. They become the machine goals of Real Madrid this season.

True, the injury of some key players becomes the biggest obstacle of Real Madrid. Courtois and Militão become the players who got a very long injured, they still can't recover until now. Luckily, Real Madrid still has an alternative for them, Ancelotti always has an idea to deal with the problem. He signed Kepa from Chelsea and he sometimes put Tchouaméni as a center back.

Now, Real Madrid is leading the standings with convincing points. Having 7 points as the gap with Girona in 2nd place, I'm sure Real Madrid won't lose the chance to win the La Liga title this season. Real Madrid is quite lucky that Girona and Barcelona played inconsistently. These teams already missed some points in the last few matches.

[ZAINmalik75]

at least Ancelotti has proven that he is successful in taking his team to the next round even though there will be a lot of changes, at least Real Madrid must be able to try to get to the final round in the UCL and in La Liga matches I never doubt because Madrid will continue to appear consistently in La Liga to defend the title this season.

That's true he proven himself to take his team into the next round Although Real Madrid have a lot of trouble struggling with the aspect of the league. In recent times, real Madrid has struggled for league competition despite having eight matches in league competition They faced tough and tough clubs in which the real madrid team faced a lot of difficulties, but Carlos Angeloti developed his ability and organized the club to prepare for the UCL. Did the game attempt an equal number of shots and make possession dominant. Finally the game was equalized. But anyway Real Madrid have qualified themselves for the next round and it is so exciting for me because maybe Real madrid has a great chance to win the Uefa Champions league with La Liga this season.

Benzema might have done great things for Real Madrid, but I don't think that they are missing him currently, because Real Madrid is doing fine, and they will win trophies this season that is what really matters. Bellingham coming to Real Madrid was a relief, and so many people were able to forget Benzema that easy, because Bellingham made Real Madrid recognized his presence, and forgot about the vaccum that Benzema left.

I don't think that Benzema did what C.Ronaldo did in Real Madrid, but still he was forgotten and that was when Benzema took over from. So in football, a key player must leave the club, for another player to become the key player. It is assuming that Real Madrid is facing difficulties in winning matches that they would have missed Benzema a lot.

-snip-

In the last five matches, Los Blancos lost 6 points as a result of 3 draws, a warning signal for Ancelotti in his efforts to lead his team to win the La Liga trophy at the end of the season. Luckily the next two matches won't be too much trouble, considering that the opponents they will face are average clubs.

Bellingham will miss two matches due to receiving a red card in the match against Valencia, I don't think it will have a big impact on their performance because Ancelotti has several options in that position, and the opponent is also fairly easy. However, if they are again unstable in winning in these two matches, then Girona and Barcelona can compete again for the trophy.

Girona and Barcelona failure to secure full points last week certainly brought good luck to Madrid. There are 10 remaining La Liga matches, where if Los Blancos lose a lot of points then Girona and Barcelona will continue to press and close the gap. There are no excessive concerns about Madrid performance in the future, but the competitive tension will continue to increase towards the end of the season, Ancelotti must experiment again to avoid more draws in the future.

Maybe it's true, it's a signal that something is wrong. Real Madrid lost 6 points in their last 5 matches, but that didn't change anything because Girona and Barcelona, ​​who tried to get closer, in fact also failed to get maximum points. Real Madrid still leads the standings with a gap of 7 points from Girona and 8 points from Barcelona, ​​so I don't think this is very disturbing so far.

Performance consistency certainly needs to be maintained so that there are no approaching threats, but it is always difficult to get maximum points in the second half towards the end of the season because many teams want to win points and maintain their position. Matches that are considered easy cannot be guaranteed to be easy, sometimes they are difficult and do not match what is expected.

Still, this process has to be carried out because we all know that Benzema is a Madrid legend and his presence brings peace of mind, especially when it comes to goals, but Madrid must also realize that they can't continue to rely on Benzema forever because it's a bad situation to continue to do so.

Instead of continuing to think that Benzema is everything they need to address this problem now. Expecting Benzema to stay in the squad is not possible because age is an inevitable situation, so instead of thinking about Benzema they should look for other options.
It was a brave move by Ancelotti not to look for a replacement striker when Benzema left but in the end it was worth it with Jude in the squad and now they just need to find a new talented striker to complement Madrid's already good squad.

Matches that are considered easy cannot be guaranteed to be easy, sometimes they are difficult and do not match what is expected.

The increase and decrease in performance is a fairly natural situation because after all some conditions affect in this case such as when the schedule is quite busy and their focus is also divided it can be one of the reasons that performance can decrease.
In recent weeks Madrid have also been faced with several problems such as injuries to several players and the latest may be Jude's red card which is now likely to provide a new problem for Madrid because after all they will definitely be a little troubled in terms of goals.

But it won't matter much as long as the club underneath is suffering from the same problem. at the moment Girona seem to have lost their magic and continue to experience a decline in performance, while Madrid's rivals are also experiencing internal problems that cannot be resolved quickly, which makes Barcelona's performance to date still very standard for a big club like Barcelona in domestic competitions.

I don't think Jude Bellingham is the answer to the lack of a center forward in the Real Madrid squad this season. Joselu can certainly help in some matches, but Real Madrid can't always rely on him because Bellingham's good performance is much more profitable for them. Jude Bellingham is an attacking midfielder who is also known as a shadow striker or second striker, he is good in that position and mostly not so good when played as a striker.

This season everything is good for Real Madrid even though they have several defensive players who are injured. Ancelotti can maximize the existing squad without many problems, in fact Real Madrid is the best team in defense to date, having only conceded 18 goals in 27 matches. Goal productivity is also good, they have scored 56 goals so far, but next season things might change if they don't have a center forward.

[JeromeTash]

Really Real Madrid have struggled all through the season,  even when their don't concealed defeat their will mostly draw matches which is some what not too good and totally not bad,  but then Real Madrid can do more if their have best hand on ground and best their are making attempts to bring in new players in the next season when Mbape will come on board the teams.

I believe that Mbape will be perfect fit to replace the former players positions,  that have affected their performance in the last two seasons.

With Just one loss in La Liga so far this season and 6 draws, how is that struggling? Last season, they lost 8 matches and drew 6. To me, they have done well. In fact, way much better than anticipated with the departure of their main center forward Benzema, who had got quite a partnership with Vini Jr.

What is now left is just keep up the same form and la Liga title will be theirs. With Mbappe coming in next season, it will very interest to see how Vini jr will adapt since he also loves using the left wing.

[Weawant]

I think one of the reasons why Barcelona has become weaker is because they are not financially stable. Since Messi left, Barcelona has become weaker. I also think maybe it's because they won’t be able to pay Messi again or due to some personal reasons, and that’s why they can’t get new players that will boost the team's performance. All their players are not very strong, so it's good if they get new players.
For Girona, it is clear and obvious that since they lost to Real Madrid, they don’t have the confidence to be consistent again, and I think they may not get back to that form again due to how Real Madrid are performing now.

In as much as financial stability usually has got a whole lot to do with the stability of a team, I still do not want to believe that the case of Barcelona is solely financial crisis or instability, it's very possible that it's a shared problem in that everyone has got a part to share in the blame, the coach, the management and the players has all got a vital role to play in the current weakness of the team.

Barcelona has got a good squad regardless of their present plight they are facing with finance, if the coach decide to make use of what he's got and not wait until he's able to gather a the best players across Europe to come and play for his team then he will be able to build a better tea which may not thrive this season but in seasons to come they will be much more formidable that they get what kind of results they want at a particular time. Barcelona has got a fairly good squad with a few young players who if given the opportunity will deliver the team.

Girona never looked to me like they would be able to have win the league titles this season, they were just looking lucky to me and then they decided to give it a shot at staying the top, but little did they know they may not be able to with stand the capacity with which you would be coming with. Basically Girona had a good season and if they finish at top four bit isn't a bad end for them but the top of the table still remains for the bigger team.

Mbappe joining Real Madrid next season is a big disaster for other teams who also want the title. No other team has healthy finances like Real Madrid at the moment, even Atletico Madrid and several other teams will not be able to compete with it. La Liga will not be as exciting if Barcelona's condition is not financially stable, meaning Real Madrid will dominate because of the power of their money.

Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and the rest of La Liga will likely have to adjust their plans next season if Real Madrid truly has a stronger squad. Improving squad depth must be considered and this is what will likely make the competition better. I think La Liga needs to think about something for Barcelona and other team for a healthier competition next season.

Real Madrid has shown an extraordinary comeback since Bellingham arrival this season. Statistically, their performance is quite good in Laliga, even for a while they are very comfortable sitting at the top of the standings. To become champions, they are the team at the forefront for now. Maybe it is true that if they succeed in becoming champions, their step to get Mbappe is very wide open in the next transfer window. I am optimistic that Mbappe will join Real madrid because so far there has been a lot of news linking him with Real madrid.

Now regarding performance, of course Real madrid managed to make improvements because in the meantime they only suffered one defeat. Vini and Bellingham are two players who have contributed greatly to Real Madrid progress this season where they succeeded in bringing victory and victory in the matches they played. But if Mbappe comes, will real madrid play Mbappe more often than Vini?  I will see Ancelotti rotation if he will sacrifice Vini in the Mbappe transfer.

Laporta the director of Barcelona started motivating his players as he can't hire any new players because of the financial issues he has in this team.
Recently the contracts of some players in Barcelona are about to end and that's why Laporta started talking about one of these players.
He said they are ready to extend the contract of Ronald Araújo forever!
Recently Bayern much was close to hiring Ronald Araújo and they sent him an offer to hire this player, since Barcelona had financial issues there was a chance for Ronald Araújo even to leave Barcelona for Bayern Munich.
But after this support from Laporta, I think he is going to stay there for a longer time.

Mbappe joining Real Madrid next season is a big disaster for other teams who also want the title. No other team has healthy finances like Real Madrid at the moment, even Atletico Madrid and several other teams will not be able to compete with it. La Liga will not be as exciting if Barcelona's condition is not financially stable, meaning Real Madrid will dominate because of the power of their money.

Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and the rest of La Liga will likely have to adjust their plans next season if Real Madrid truly has a stronger squad. Improving squad depth must be considered and this is what will likely make the competition better. I think La Liga needs to think about something for Barcelona and other team for a healthier competition next season.

Real Madrid, with its abundant financial resources, is trying to build a new volume of the Los Galacticos project, which could make competition in La Liga unbalanced. If Mbappe lands at the Santiago Bernabeu it will be difficult for Barcelona, Atletico and a number of other contestants to compete for the La Liga trophy. So La Liga will appear to be dominated by one team, just like Ligue 1 currently, other teams efforts to build a squad like Real Madrid are hampered from a financial perspective. In the future, La Liga might only be interesting if a dark horse team like Girona impresses again.

The fact is that building a squad consisting of a number of star players sometimes has no impact on success each season, and even has the potential to make it difficult to win trophies if the manager fails to manage the egos of the players. So far Ancelotti has been successful in managing the egos of his players, Mbappe arrival next season could have an impact on achieving trophies, and it is also possible that it could cause gaps within the team. Everything depends on Ancelotti in managing his star players, but what is clear is that Barcelona and Atletico will have difficulty keeping up with Real Madrid next season if Mbappe officially joins.

[karabiber]

Barcelona will play Mallorca in the next match.

Right now Barcelona has got a good chance. Actually, I will say that they have been given a great chance by girona. Because Girona has not been able to perform well recently. And that has given Barcelona a chance to get themselves in the second position of the table.

Yes, I know that right now Barcelona is one point behind Girona. But Barcelona should try to win every match. And at the same time Girona will play Osasuna in the next match and Osasuna is performing pretty well right now. So there is a chance that Girona might drop points in this match.

Barcelona drew without a goal against Athletic Bilbao. They are ineffective in defense and midfield. Injuries to Pedri and De Jong may have disrupted Barcelona's plans. Gavi has already been missing for a long time. Honestly, I'm waiting to see what solution Xavi will find for the midfield, because none of the possibilities seems to be positive for Barcelona. After this game Barcelona will face Napoli in the Champions League and they might be mentally disconnected.

Mallorca managed to beat Girona in the Copa del Rey final and on their return to La Liga. Considering that Mallorca have a tough fixture behind them and the cup final will be played in April, I expect them to come out with high energy and confidence against Barcelona. It would not be a surprise if Barcelona, who have lost their tactical balance, perform poorly against Mallorca. As a surprise, Mallorca could be the team that wins.

[TelolettOm]

The competition for the title may be over already but Real Madrid is still not the winner yet. There are still 10 remaining matches, let Real Madrid finished all the remaining matches first. I know it is difficult for other teams in La Liga to catch Real Madrid with the current point gap. But the point gap with Girona and Barcelona is 7-8 points.

Mathematically, catching Real Madrid in La Liga and occupying the top spot in the table is still not impossible. But as we have seen Madrid perform in past seasons, it is easy to say that Real Madrid will be the La Liga champions this season.

Can say this.
As long as they are able to manage their performance, being able to do their best in against every club in La Liga, their chance to be the winner will be higher.

but, there are absolutely several notes to pay attention for. Consistency for being stronger and winner in every match.
However, Bellingham is currently under a red card sanction from a previous controversial match. This will be a challenge for Real Madrid, again having to play without its main player.

[TopT3ns]

This season everything is good for Real Madrid even though they have several defensive players who are injured. Ancelotti can maximize the existing squad without many problems, in fact Real Madrid is the best team in defense to date, having only conceded 18 goals in 27 matches. Goal productivity is also good, they have scored 56 goals so far, but next season things might change if they don't have a center forward.

At least Real Madrid must remain alert when competing because their position in La Liga is already in first place so they must maintain their performance to keep getting points and don't get too many players injured because that will definitely make it difficult for Carlo Ancelotti to replace his best players, Yes, as you have said, so far Jude Bellingham has become a core player for Real Madrid like.

What is now left is just keep up the same form and la Liga title will be theirs. With Mbappe coming in next season, it will very interest to see how Vini jr will adapt since he also loves using the left wing.

One thing that really deserves appreciation from Real Madrid is that they were able to get better this season. Last season, Benzema was also sometimes absent due to injury. So last season only Vini Jr was always the mainstay. But this season, after Benzema left, several young players were brought in who have shown their quality, including Bellingham and Joselu. So it is not surprising that this season Real Madrid is getting better. Securing the Laliga trophy is now before their eyes. It's just a matter of how Real Madrid can win the remaining matches and maintain the existing point difference. Apart from that, Real Madrid also has to keep fighting harder in the Champions League. Even though now I'm starting to not believe in Real Madrid in the UCL, I'm sure Ancelotti can return this team's performance to where it should be.

So last season only Vini Jr was always the mainstay. But this season, after Benzema left, several young players were brought in who have shown their quality, including Bellingham and Joselu. So it is not surprising that this season Real Madrid is getting better.

Benzema left and Real Madrid tried to replace him by Mbappe but failed and in the last summer, they took Joselu from a loan transfer to temporarily handle this issue at their front line. Joselu actually does not replace Benzema well enough but Real Madrid luckily have Jude Bellingham who plays well and is very goal productive in this season.

It is very big surprise to see a midfielder like Jude is leading La Liga best scorer ranking table. He is actually a most successful transfer of Real Madrid in this season and a big gift for Real Madrid. I really think Real Madrid did not expect Jude to score many goals like this.

Securing the Laliga trophy is now before their eyes. It's just a matter of how Real Madrid can win the remaining matches and maintain the existing point difference. Apart from that, Real Madrid also has to keep fighting harder in the Champions League. Even though now I'm starting to not believe in Real Madrid in the UCL, I'm sure Ancelotti can return this team's performance to where it should be.

With decreasing performance of Girona, Real Madrid now have many big advantages to win La Liga. They need to win like 3 to 5 more matches in La Liga and wait for more bad matches from Girona. I bet that Real Madrid will win La Liga some weeks before the final day of season.

It was a brave move by Ancelotti not to look for a replacement striker when Benzema left but in the end it was worth it with Jude in the squad and now they just need to find a new talented striker to complement Madrid's already good squad.

Since Karim Benzema was not at the club, Real Madrid's goal productivity has decreased slightly even though their performance is still quite consistent, but Real Madrid has not been able to create many goals even though they are facing lower-class clubs. Every goal they have created is only minimal, even though it is enough to carry them achieved victory but this resulted in the opposing club still being able to equalize because the goals scored by Real Madrid were also not too big as recently they often experienced draws. I know Real Madrid's defense is quite strong but if their attack is not sharp enough then Other clubs can still beat him.

Without Karim Benzema, Real Madrid is still strong enough to compete in the domestic league, but in the Champions League, it looks like Real Madrid needs to have another option by recruiting a striker who is hungry for goals. Relying on Jude Bellingham alone is not enough because he is not a pure striker even though he has scored many goals. I admit that Carlo Ancelotti's decision not to buy a striker was indeed a brave decision and he has also prepared a mature strategy, but however, currently Real Madrid needs a striker who can help them increase their attack. It would be better if Karim Benzema was replaced is Kylian Mbappe and help Real Madrid compete in the Champions League next season.
