La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[samuraijin]

Barcelona will never be able to compete with Real Madrid in their current state without Mbappe. There are many differences between the performances of these two teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid is the best performer in every tournament as well as they are performing great in their league and their performance is consistent in contrast to Barcelona but they are not performing well in all tournaments and Barcelona performance is not consistent.

Real Madrid are signing Mbappe to further strengthen their squad so that they can beat the big teams in major tournaments. The main reason for Real Madrid signing Mbappe is not to compete with Barcelona or insult Barcelona, but to improve their overall performance.

Madrid have consistently been able to compete in every title race in recent seasons and as you said, if Madrid are the best team in the league at the moment and I agree 100% with you, but when you say Barcelona will never competed with Madrid of course you should read back the history of the rivalry that occurred between the two so far in La Liga,  This season we don't deny that Madrid are the most consistent team in the league but I think Barcelona are still a great team when they are able to compete in La Liga and the Champions League after all the problems they have had so far and isn't Barcelona also able to win La Liga last season even though they don't have a squad as great as Madrid?

I'm not a fan of Madrid or Barcelona, but I don't think the two teams at the moment we can compare in terms of squad quality, because after all financially both are the main factors at the moment, bringing in Mbappe certainly requires a lot of funds and maybe can strengthen Madrid next season, but we also cannot exclude if later the balance of Madrid will be disturbed by the arrival of Mbappe,  Because after all it will be difficult for any team and coach to be able to manage the ego nature possessed by Mbappe at this time, besides that the arrival of Mbappe to Madrid does just only make their attack line full and make them have to sacrifice other good players later?

I don't think that any player that is performing brilliantly in Madrid would be offloaded because of the arrival of Mbappe. Mbappe is there to play his own role, and don't forget that Real Madrid like to keep good players.

A player can be overloaded by Real Madrid if he plays in the same position as Mbappe. The player will not want to be used as a second choice because he will get less playing time at Real Madrid. Real Madrid management will have no choice but to sell the player to another club. 

Vinicius Junior could be Real Madrid's candidate to let him go, because the role played by Vinicius Junior is not enough to bring Real Madrid into a club that they are afraid of, in fact, after the injury he experienced, he has seen a decline in his game this season, so bringing in Mbappe is the right thing to replace him.  the figure of Vinicius Junior on the left side of Real Madrid, because what we know is that Mbappe is a left winger which makes this position look comfortable for Mbappe to help Real Madrid's attack power in facing the next season, because that could make Real Madrid have a fast sprinting attacker and could become  Real Madrid mainstay.

I dont know how is gonna play Real Madrid if Mbappe finally arrives, it seems like you are gonna destroy at the 100% of teams, but when you have so much stronger forwards you can fall into a disbalanced team so i dont know how they are gonna solve this.

Anyways imagine something like, Vinivius Mbappe Rodrygo, and in the bench Endrick....

We don't know that before Mbappe actually plays with Real Madrid.
Theoretically, Real Madrid should be a really sharp team up front. Mbappe's joining could make Madrid destroy any team they face. in fact, I don't really know how Anceloti will design his squad this summer. whether Don Carlo will continue to adopt the patterns and systems he is currently implementing.  or, Don Carlo will return to using a 4-3-3 pattern. For the current pattern, it seems I don't know where Mbappe will be placed. so ideally, Don Carlo will use a 4-3-3 system. or, one lone striker up front.
IMO, it could be a scenario where Carlo Ancelotti will apply a 4-3-3 poal. yeah, like when Benzema was with Madrid. If Mbappe ultimately leaves PSG, his position will remain as a center forward. The wings are the Brazilian duo, Vini Jr and Rodrygo. midfielder, there are players who are very worthy to rely on. So, maybe Madrid will focus on improving the defense line. What is certain is that Madrid will be much stronger with the presence of Mbappe. Ancelotti's classic system looks like it will return to its final form. Their three strikers will be very dangerous in the opponent's defense, Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo. As for Endrick, he will really need experience. So, this player will be more of a reserve player.
Well, next season Madrid needs to be wary of the teams that will be its opponents. because, they have a team that is really very competitive. Whether the system Ancelotti implemented is successful or not, we will find out after this season ends. One more thing, if Mbappe really joins Los Blancos, we will find out soon after next summer.

Indeed, it looks like it will still get difficult for Real Madrid to get a winning streak in the next matches. Because afterall, in the next match Real Madrid will play against Bilbao and Manchester City and there are still many otherdifficult matches for Real Madrid. If Real Madrid experience bad events such as key players being injured and or other bad factors, then at least Barcelona will still be able to close the points gap with Real Madrid.

Is really a difficult match for real Madrid because those matches will be very strong that we can hardly predict it especially there match against Manchester City is going to be a tough match because the both almost have an equal performance and even there both players are very experienced but the problem Manchester City will have is that in terms of champions League real Madrid is more experience and more favoured than Manchester City.

But who knows what will happen, however in terms real Madrid and Bilbao of course real Madrid will win the match because Bilbao performance is not much compare to real Madrid so that match is a free point for real Madrid but the match that would also trouble them will the against Barcelona although real Madrid are more good than Barcelona but currently Barcelona is on fire so they will seriously give real Madrid a very hard time and even if real Madrid will win it will not be easy on them.

Barcelona's current squad definitely needs some new players to improve. They cannot hope to win the Champions League or La Liga with this squad. They need improvements in the defense part and the forwards. Lots of young players have come together to form a team which seems like a good team now, but a team so young cannot do much damage in the long run. Barcelona definitely needs to sign some players to compete with Real Madrid at least.

I agree with @Google+ on what he said about creating imbalance in the Real Madrid squad after Mbappe’s arrival. But I don’t think that will be a big issue if the manager can handle it pretty well. Ancelotti always seems to be on good terms with his players and probably did not have any problems with any players in his managerial career. I believe if Ancelotti stays in charge, he can handle it pretty well. After all, he has managed many many big players like Ronaldo. So if Ancelotti is managing the team, I would not be so worried if I were a Real Madrid fan.

Barcelona has not been a problem for Madrid this season. Even with the current squad I think Madrid is still capable of winning the La Liga title next season. So I think you are right that Madrid's goal in recruiting Mbappe is to improve the team's overall performance. With Mbappe, Real Madrid will be the best club in the world next season. And I'm sure they will be targeting a treble winner or even more next season. With Barcelona's current financial condition I think they will really not be able to compete with Madrid next season.

There is no doubt we have too many problems for the Barcelona on and off the field, but still recent results are showing they are recovering from their bad period and things are going on track even still it's very long way to go for them because debit and few other issues are clearly giving them setbacks, and now we have few rumours they are going to sell their few top players which are surely going to bring some problems into their consistency and quality but this all will be happened in next season.

Now most chances we will have them on second spot which could be also enough and Real Madrid is surely going to have good chance for staying at the top with they already maintain good lead, and they are also physiologically have good advantage from Barcelona after beating them few times in this season.

Regarding the match against Osasuna later, maybe they can win again but it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will also lose quite badly. We know Osasuna also needs points despite the two previous defeats and as the visiting team Osasuna will try to steal points from Almeria.

Looking at Osasuna's recent poor performance and comparing it with Almeria's performance, it looks like a draw might happen.
What I remember is that even though Almeria is just a weak club from the bottom of the points table, a weak club like this can always give difficulties to its opponents when Almeria plays at home and in the upcoming match Almeria will be the host and it looks like the big chance is only a draw and Almeria won't will probably be able to beat Osasuna.

Edit :
A very good result for Osasuna, managing to score 3 scores at home to Almeria, even though I had predicted a draw, Almeria actually had a very good chance, but it was all in vain when they controlled the ball for too long but couldn't apply any pressure.
I see that Almeria could have held a draw but maybe Almeria had a little desire to try to score with very high confidence without realizing that Almeria's defense looked empty, unable to withstand Osasuna's fast attack.
How bad it was for Almeria when in the 2nd minute they conceded so carelessly they couldn't perform like before.
There is a possibility that after beating Las Palmas, Almeria has the ambition to try to win again but the results are very bad.

[Palakka]

Mbappe transfer is vital for them to create a squad that aims to win all 3 cups next season. If Mbappe is transferred, they will have great players to become champions in 3 tournaments. I think Mbappe will have the quality to keep up with the existing system. He is a great player and a player who adds extras to the team he plays for.

The sharpness and goalscoring instinct possessed by Mbappe certainly cannot be doubted that he has managed to become the top scorer 6 consecutive seasons in Ligue 1, but it is not surprising that this can be done when he is in a strong team and also dominates so far in Ligue 1, without any competitive competition in the league certainly makes Mbappe continue to be in the spotlight,  To be honest, I doubt Mbappe will be as good as in Ligue 1 when he will play in La Liga which tends to be more competitive than Ligue 1, and so far I don't see him being able to make the changes you say in every team he plays for, because as far as I know he has only played for Monaco and PSG all this time in Ligue,  In addition, when he was at Monaco he was also not the best player at that time because throughout the season he continued to be loaned by Monaco to PSG before PSG made him permanent and it was when at PSG that he transformed into a he great player.

Exactly, having Mbappe at Real Madrid will give this team the opportunity to win again next season because Mbappe is one of the best players this season.
Real Madrid really wants him. Hopefully the players at Real Madrid communicate well with Mbappe because he is still very young, 25 years old, so his emotions may be unstable and he will easily get angry.

It's too early for us to assume that Mbappe will be the best player later, because after all he departs from a league that has not been competitive so far, and competing to be the best in a competitive league is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, many players are considered talented but instead they fail in the end when facing heavier pressure than in the league they played before friends,   About ego and emotion maybe Ancelotti will be able to handle it well because of the experience of coaching him so far in my opinion.

Athletic Bilbao become difficult opponent for Real Madrid on next match because they have motivate for securing three points and has chance for qualifying to Champion League upcoming season behind 1 points remaining from Atletico Madrid on 5th standings. If can take three points against Real Madrid next match, Athletic Bilbao will out from top fourth position if Atletico Madrid  can take full three points against Villareal. Game weeks 30 become crucial moment for several teams not only in the tittle race but also some teams want to reach Champion League and Europe League spot standing for next season.

Seems the latest Champion League ticket will be contested by two teams Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, behind one point remaining not secure yet for Bilbao and not sure Atletico will get top fourth place if still inconsistency performance on several matches left.

Statistically, Osasuna is much better than Almeria, in my opinion Almeria has guaranteed themselves to be relegated this season. They have only won once, which was in the last match against Las Palmas, so it is not surprising that Almeria is predicted to lose again in this match even though they will play as hosts in this match.

Osasuna did experience 2 consecutive defeats, but that doesn't make their chances smaller in this match, because they still have the home advantage. I predict that Osasuna will be able to win this match, although maybe Almeria can give them difficulties but it can still be handled, maybe a win with a narrow score will happen. Of course, Osasuna also realizes that they can use their opponents this time to achieve a victory, because they also need it to make up for the two defeats they experienced previously. Also, a win could take them to a better place in the standings, even though they have to look at the match results of the clubs above them.

Anyways imagine something like, Vinivius Mbappe Rodrygo, and in the bench Endrick....

Mbappe made it clear in his last interview that when he is ready to discuss, he will reveal which club he would join. I know Mbappe had wanted to move to Madrid due of the Champions League, but how convinced are we that he will go there? And if Mbappe comes to Madrid, he will do well because of his quickness. Very good qualities that will let him play well in Madrid, but don't be surprised if he leaves for another team because he will perceive his pay to be low, I am confident of it.

One thing I love with Mbappe is that his young and people love him. And lastly very talented.

[QueenVera]

I think Real Madrid will not let 4 defeats happen to Real Madrid, Real Madrid has overcome many obstacles to reach the top of the standings and Real Madrid has widened the gap so Real Madrid will not waste this and Real Madrid will continue to achieve victory after victory so the club under it is difficult to overtake, even though in just 29 matches Real Madrid only experienced 1 defeat, whereas this season there are only 9 matches left, of course Real Madrid will get through it and not add to their total losses, but even if Real Madrid makes a mistake and loses, it will not affect its position and These mistakes will not continue to repeat themselves, especially in 4 consecutive matches.

Real Madrid's match against Athletic Bilbao is indeed a match that is quite difficult to predict because Athletic Bilbao is also in good form, but no matter how strong Bilbao is, I don't think it will be able to exceed Real Madrid's very strong performance this season, both of them certainly don't want to lose any points. The points they collect are very significant, a draw is possible and that could be a fair result for both clubs to increase their total points and maintain their respective positions.

In football, the outcome of each game is always a decider especially in the domestic leagues, it's either there's an advancement in the table or the team goes down from its position, here's one reason why every game should be played sternly. In the La Liga currently, Real Madrid are currently at the greater part of the league and they sure do know how to supercede other teams. They've had to play less than expected in passing weeks but still they were able to conquer their UCL opponent yesterday.

 This weekend won't be any different because their opponent has not really been consistent in the league. Madrid on the other hand are very much vibrant and eager to net out the 3points one more time and keep making their stand on the league table solid. Real Madrid is definitely of all the league teams be their toughest opponent but I believe that they'll definitely find the best way to counter the moves that'll be made.

 It'll be beautiful to see that Girona in a long time would get to have a ticket to the European cup next season, they're not aiming for the La Liga trophy, they're definitely going for next season's European ticket and so far, it's seeming like a finished task, we only have to wait for the last table result on the La Liga. In a few recent games, Bilbao have been able to show strength and charisma to winning games. They've safely been tagged underrated and not really focused on but looking deep, they're making waves. Even their betting odds would speak for them. They are a team practically growing into a La Liga threat club.
 
 They've had competitive games and ensured they kept up their pace making the result of the game be either to their favour or a fair draw. Girona and Vallecano are a testament of the fact. It's good how Spanish teams are starting to face the uprising of the beat and live through letting just 3 teams be the talk about of the league. Currently the likes of Girona,  Real Sociedad too and definitely Bilbao are outshining in their deeds and it's amazing to watch how football has become even more interesting this season in the Spanish league.

Osasuna have a good winning record against Almeria and also, so far this season, the fact that Osasuna have better results when Osasuna play away than home matches. After all, Osasuna is also in a better position than Almeria in the current La Liga standings although indeed, lately Almeria has managed to have or get good results when Almeria playing against teams in the top four. But still, usually a team like Almeria will really be able to provide resistance when playing against the seeded team in the top four. But when Almeria plays against a team that at least has a quality that is not much different, it is still very possible for Almeria to lose. Therefore, with that records available so far, at least I am still quite sure that Osasuna is still able to beat Almeria.

According to the news developing about Mbappe, he will provide clarity about his future. I think at the moment he is considering the best decision for his future where he could join Real Madrid or another team and one of the options will definitely be a surprise. It is possible that Mbappe will join Liverpool if that becomes a reality because Liverpool was previously heavily linked with Mbappe.

But there are many things we can see that Mbappe is closer to joining Real Madrid. Real Madrid will be quite strong next season if Mbappe officially joins them. Also Ancelotti really admires Mbappe and maybe this is an easy way for Mbappe to win the UCL trophy if he joins Real Madrid. Regarding salary, of course it will be a big consideration for every player when joining his new team.

[indah rezqi]

Vinicius Junior could be Real Madrid's candidate to let him go, because the role played by Vinicius Junior is not enough to bring Real Madrid into a club that they are afraid of, in fact, after the injury he experienced, he has seen a decline in his game this season, so bringing in Mbappe is the right thing to replace him.  the figure of Vinicius Junior on the left side of Real Madrid, because what we know is that Mbappe is a left winger which makes this position look comfortable for Mbappe to help Real Madrid's attack power in facing the next season, because that could make Real Madrid have a fast sprinting attacker and could become  Real Madrid mainstay.

Ideally, Madrid could place Mbappe in the center forward position even though his main position is on the left side, so Ancelotti can rely on Vinicius in his main position. It is possible that Vinicius will be released, but considering that his contract has just been renewed, it seems unlikely that Madrid will let him leave in the next transfer window. Madrid goal in recruiting Mbappe is to replace the role left by Benzema. With the quality that Mbappe has, Ancelotti can experiment with placing him to play in different positions.

Vinicius contract expires in June 2027, and so far there are no signs that Madrid will let him go any time soon. It is true, since recovering from injury, Vinicius has not managed to show his best performance, and this is very natural considering that he has been injured twice this season. Ancelotti will have perfect squad depth if Mbappe can indeed be recruited, and Madrid front line will be a frightening trio. Bellingham can be used as a second striker and supplier of ball flow for the trio in front of him, overall Madrid next season will have a quite sharp front line.

[Ryu_Ar1]

After all, it doesn't seem to be something strange or something new about Real Madrid always managing to bring in high-quality players. Because after all, it seems that Real Madrid is also a destination for quality players, so it is notsurprising that there are always quality players who accept Real Madrid offer in every new era that occurs. By having such a history, then of course Real Madrid has always managed to also maintain its tradition by having star players in the Real Madrid squad. Of course, with these factors, it is not surprising that Real Madrid is not only good in La Liga, but Real Madrid is also the most team that won the trophy in the Champion League and thus, Real Madrid deserves to be called the king of Europe.

Thats right because at the end of the day this is nothing new for Madrid as they've always done it although in recent seasons it seems like they're looking to shed their Los Galacticos moniker by trying to find other options where they'll look for players with good potential who can be projected for the long term, although sometimes the price is not cheap.

At the moment by looking at their spending last season which seemed only a small part of what they spent from the finances they had because only Jude they brought in with a nominal value of more than 100 million but it is not impossible in the new season they will immediately make a breakthrough where several players can be directly brought in with a fairly fantastic nominal.

It's true that Toni Kroos wants to stay one more season with Real Madrid and a contract agreement until 2025 has been agreed. Real Madrid really relies on him to handle the ball in midfield and of course Toni Kroos will not be able to refuse an offer from the team he has played for for the season. It is now increasingly clear that Toni Kroos' role is very important and Ancelotti really trusts him to be able to mobilize Real Madrid's current young squad.

There had been offers from several clubs but it seemed that Toni Kroos was still more comfortable at Real Madrid and even though there had been quite a long period of deliberation, he finally chose to stay at Santiago Bernabeu. It seems like Luka Modric, it is likely that Toni Kroos will still get the next offer if his performance remains consistent until the age of 38. Real Madrid supporters will definitely be very happy to hear the news that this veteran player is still staying until next season.

[el kaka22]

I would guess that Barcelona having trouble right now is overestimated. First of all, last year they were the champions, they are literally the latest champions of the league, saying that they are not doing well is unreasonable, secondly they have one year right now where they are not the champions if they lose this season (when they lose it) so it is not a big deal.

On top of that, they are a team with a lot of financial trouble, so they managed to do the right thing and figured out a lot of great young players, they have 6-7 great young players that can play amazingly and I believe that they should be doing fine. I think the best thing to do in this case would be just considering them lucky and they can be doing better next season with what they have.

When it comes to player transfers, Perez is skilled enough to do it and he can get any player they want. All top players definitely want to be able to strengthen Madrid, therefore it is very difficult for any player to refuse the offer made to them by Madrid. By joining Madrid, you can get closer to a number of trophies at once, meaning that the bargaining value of Ancelotti fleet is really taken into account in all the competitions they participate in.

Regarding the budget, Madrid financial strength is quite stable and they are definitely able to recruit new players and build an ideal squad. However, sometimes, quite a few of Madrid efforts to build a new Los Galaticos have failed miserably, as was the case when management recruited Hazard from Chelsea. On the other hand, their main target in the transfer window is Mbappe, it looks like his arrival will soon be a bright spot.

Meanwhile, Madrid seems to be hunting for other potential players in the right-back position, to ensure the transition runs well. We know that it was previously reported that Los Blancos were looking for a cover player for Carvajal, and it can be said that Madrid will indeed recruit several players at once in the next transfer window.

[KTChampions]

By the way, I already miss the Champions League final in the form of the Real - Atlético derby. And the draw worked out so that it is quite possible 

The last time Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid played against each other in the Champions League finale was in the 2015/16 season. It has been quite a long time indeed. 

Theoretically it is possible because of the draw form but I don't know. I assume we would see Atletico Madrid in the semi finals at least. But for Real Madrid I'm not that confident. Their performance against Leipzig wasn't convincing enough you know. Ancelotti will do his best for another season of two titles in big tournaments for sure. They would win the La Liga title but I have big doubts about the Champions League one.

Yes, it is obvious that for Real to reach the final they need to win against City + Bayern/Arsenal. Individually, these tasks are quite realistic, but collectively the chance is reduced. I think that the overall probability of this is approximately 30% (by the way, the same as for the other teams from this thread towards the finals).
13-14 and 15-16 - those were good times, the two best teams from Madrid found out who is the strongest club in Europe (and the World)

That makes sense to me. The game against City is the biggest hurdle they have to take on their way to the final. I don't see Bayern quite on the same level as City, but as you said taking both hurdles combined makes it less likely for them to get into the final. But the team is absolutely ready for those games. Good to see that Vinicius Junior is doing well again after his injuries. I love watching him play. I feel he sometimes gets too distracted by this idiotic racism shit, but as long as he can turn it into positive anger and play one level above his best, it's ok for him as a player (not as a human being though as that should be handled far more rigorously).

If Real can take the City hurdle, I think they'll be the favorite in the next stage no matter whether Arsenal or Bayern make it there.
