La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Jody.Drummer]

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are the top teams in the La Liga series and they are the champions most of the years and this year's series also these two teams are in the top position in the points table although Real Madrid is far ahead in terms of points but we have to admit that Barcelona is a big competitor of Real Madrid. Girona created a lot of hype early on and they occupied the top position in the points table for a long time. But they are falling behind day by day.

One of the biggest challenges for underdog teams to be able to consistently be at the top of the rankings is that they do not have good squad depth. This will not be apparent early in the season. But this will become a problem as we enter the second half of the season. Injuries or poor play by key players will directly affect the team's performance. It's not like a big team can make several player rotations if the main players underperform.

This will also have an impact on the team's strategy. If you only rely on the main players and with the same tactics, I think the opposing teams will find their weaknesses and how to counter them. I think this is what happened to Girona this season.

It will be difficult for a club that is not used to being in the top flight and then they are in the top flight, all the pressure will be much different when they are only a club in the middle table. The top flight requires them to have a very high level of consistency, and they also have to have good squad depth, so that when they experience problems with their players they can rotate. However, Girona cannot show that, I can understand because in fact they are not fully ready to be in top competition.

But despite all that, I still appreciate them in this case, because what they have done this season is extraordinary and they have a real chance of being in the Champions League next season. For me, when they were only able to secure one place in the Champions League, it was a big achievement for them, because logically it is very difficult to get that in La Liga, because here it can be said that 3 tickets are already in the hands of 3 clubs. usually there and practically only has 1 ticket left up for grabs, although this season is different because Atletico Madrid is ranked 5th. However, that doesn't mean they will completely fail to be in the top 4 this season.

No vini, no problem. Vini can be replaced by Rodrygo, who can also play as a left winger. Rodrygo is one of Real Madrid's most important players because he can play in a variety of positions. I expect Ancellotti to use this line-up.

LW = Rodrygo, RW = Brahim Diaz, AM = Bellingham, and ST = Joselu.

This can still be rotated, depending on Bilbao's strategy soon. I consider Bilbao to be a strong team, and Ancellotti will not pass up the opportunity to earn three points and bring the club closer to the LA Liga.

Real Madrid has a limited number of wingers, which may encourage Ancellotti to rotate his players. I've seen Brahim Diaz play as a right wing several times. Expect Real Madrid to use this formation against Bilbao shortly.

It's caused by brahim diaz is the only capable player who can play as right winger as good as rodrygo which will be play at vini's position.

Ancelotti will certainly find the right formula for his squad if one of his main players is injured. For example, Vinicius; Ancelotti can play several players in that position, including Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo, but without Vinicius, Real Madrid's performance will be different. I'm sure about that because so far Vinicius has been a good attacking motor in the Real Madrid squad, so of course it will be different without him.

It is certainly not easy for Bilbao to hope for victory at the Santiago Bernabéu, but as long as they really work hard and take advantage of their opportunities then victory is not impossible. Real Madrid is clearly the favorite over Athletic Bilbao at home, but because Bilbao wants to stay in the Champions League zone, this match will probably be very tense. Bilbao will try to do their best to win, if they lose they must be willing to let Atletico Madrid gain their position in the Champions League zone.

It will be a do or die match for both clubs, because something important is at stake if any of them loses this match. If Real Madrid loses this match, it means that they will make Barcelona to close the point gap to 5 points, since Barcelona is not playing with a team as strong as them. This is what Ancelotti will consider.

Also if Bilbao does not win this match, it means that Atletico Madrid would take over the 4th position from them, if the win their own match. This will make Atletico not to be able to be in the champions league next season if Atletico did not drop points for them to take over the fourth position back. I still believe that Real Madrid is the favorite in this game because they gat good and strong players that will not accept defeat.

[rendravolt]

The match in week 30 of La Liga opens with a match of teams from the lower standings, Granada and Cadiz and it is quite interesting because Cadiz is the host this week, I am quite doubtful about Cadiz even though he is the host in this match, but can he beat Granada? but if in terms of the journey this season Cadiz is slightly better than Granada both from the performance of the players and also the points collected, even though the positions of these two teams are in order in the 18-19 standings, it is quite sad because the quad is in the relegation zone which is quite fatal, it will be very difficult to be able to rise to stay in La Liga.

If we look at Cadiz's chances are much greater to get a chance to win in this match, however as you said, Cadiz is now at home, historically the team will get stronger if they play at their training ground, and judging from the last five matches Granada is much worse with three defeats and two draws, but the ball is still the ball, maybe Granada can just get lucky in this match or it could also end in a draw again.

One thing that is certain for Cadiz is to win this match because it will be very profitable if they can beat fellow weak teams in the relegation zone. The previous defeat against Real Sociedad will not prevent Cadiz from being able to secure full points at home and most importantly they were able to beat Atletico at home.

Maybe Granada will provide fierce resistance and that is natural considering they are a visiting team but the strength of the hosts should be able to provide more encouragement for Cadiz to excel throughout the match. If Cadiz can secure 3 points then the difference from Celta Vigo will be reduced to 2 points and that is something they have to focus on in this match. I don't expect many narrow wins or a 2 goal difference to be enough for Cadiz to send Granada home without taking a single point.

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.

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.

Already Bilbao may possibly qualify to next season champions league because they are already on the fourth position of the table and with the look of things I don't think there is any club below them that would stand as a threat to them except Atletico Madrid because Bilbao has 56 points while Atletico Madrid has 55 points so losing any match could seriously affect any of the club, however is very unfortunate that at this critical situation between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid on the league table Bilbao will be meeting real Madrid, perhaps that's the moment Atletico Madrid has been waiting for.

I'm not disputing the fact that Bilbao is not in a good form but meeting real Madrid will be a tough one for them considering there situation on the table, so if real Madrid eventually win them and Atletico Madrid wins there next match against Villarreal they will automatically become the fourth position of the league because considering the poor performance of Villarreal is obvious that Atletico Madrid will win them.

[karabiber]

Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid with a good away win last time out and took the second place in the league from Real Madrid. Later in the week they will host PSG in the Champions League. They will fight until the end as there are eight points between them and Real Madrid in the league. Because there is a small point difference between them.

Las Palmas, one of the flash teams of the season, have lost momentum lately. They suffered an unfortunate defeat at home against Almeria. Especially goalkeeper Valles is out of form. In Las Palmas, the strong team play that has been the key to their success so far seems to have been replaced by individual performances. Barca are at home in this match and I expect them to score in both halves. They will play a comfortable match against Las Palmas. For the betting Barcelona will score in both halves.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Honestly, although mathematically yes Barcelona still has the advantage, realistically I think their chances are less than 5%. If Real Madrid loses points in a row with extraordinary results in the remaining matches and Barça wins, they can only be serious rivals in the championship race. I think Real Madrid will not turn back from this path.

At present when talking about the acquisition of points owned if you really want to make the competition more interesting, it means that Madrid must lose 2 or 3 matches and Barcelona sweeps their victory but with the current condition of Madrid defeat is still possible but it is difficult because of course they also do not want to waste the opportunities currently owned where they are already very superior and there is no way they will succumb just for an interesting competition.

It seems that these two teams understand each other enough where when last season Madrid was trying to catch Barcelona with a difference of more than 5 points and now the situation is reversed where Barcelona is trying to catch Madrid with their shortcomings.

I think for this problem it is still possible for Barcelona to catch up but with 9 matches remaining and Madrid who still have consistency, the hope is still where Madrid do their job by continuing to play consistently and maintaining the current points margin.

I think Real Madrid will not turn back from this path.

La Liga has 9 matches left until the end of this competition, while Real Madrid is in the safe zone with a difference of 8 points ahead of Barcelona. so, theoretically Barcelona still has the opportunity to compete closely with Real Madrid.  yeah, like you said. But that means, at least Real Madrid must slip in 3 of their 9 matches. Thus, Barcelona has the potential to overtake its ranking. Unfortunately, it seems that it will be difficult to achieve this, even though in the last 9 matches anything could happen. But the point is, Xavi's focus is on how to bring his squad without defeat in the remainder of this competition while hoping that Madrid slips up in some of their matches. However, it seems that Real Madrid will remain consistent match after match, including when they host the match against Barcelona in the 32nd match. Moreover, several important Barcelona players have not yet confirmed their recovery from injuries. such as De Jong, for example, Pedri, Balde, Christensen and several players who were previously absent. So, Barcelona's position is not in a favorable situation. but at least, Xavi has a minimum mission for Barcelona to finish in runner-up position until the end of this season. However, let's just look at every match presented by La Liga until the end.

It's ongoing right now, in the unit of 26.
So far, the position is still quite balanced. Both of them have started trying to get closer to taking shots on target. But it still failed.

The current position temporarily is:
Cadiz vs Granada : 0 - 0

Actually, it's not interesting enough to see the two of them compete. However, this is a match between clubs in the relegation zone. However, if Cadiz can win this match, they can at least add points and close the points gap with Celta Vigo.

We are now waiting for some decisive matches that will be going on this day or tomorrow.

I think Real Madrid will not turn back from this path.

I don't think Real Madrid will fall into such a bad scenario for the rest of the season, but anything is possible.

What I think at the moment is that Real Madrid will try as hard as possible to maintain its performance and maintain a point difference with Barcelona of 6 to 8 points, but we never know what will happen next because there are many surprises towards the end of the match. season and will be difficult to predict.

Winning the match against Bilbao is a big plan, as are the next few matches. The El Clasico match will also determine the chances of both teams, but only if Barcelona can win the two matches before El Clasico. I expect Real Madrid to be able to win the La Liga title this season, they have to maximize that.

[Mr.suevie]

For now, Girona still has to be taken into account by all teams and also by Real Madrid and Barcelona because Girona could return well in the remainder of this season and again take one of the positions in the standings table. Although I don't think that Girona is able to take the top position this season because Girona itself is far behind Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Barcelona also cannot feel safe in that position now because Barcelona still has to work better to be able to continue to secure that position from being chased by Barcelona because chasing Real Madrid this season is not possible for both of them.

The chance is still there if Madrid plays badly enough. but I'm sure that won't happen. So the best possibility is that the three top teams in the current standings can lock in a position for European Champions League tickets. and there is one more ticket that will be contested by Bilbao and Atletico Madrid. Maybe it's too soon to discuss this, but from the performance of these teams, we can speculate from now on. Girona has shown something extraordinary this season. and they have to improve or at least maintain it next season.

With Real Madrid's current performance, it is realistic that they will no longer be overtaken, they have quite good strength and consistency and their current points advantage makes them quite likely to be at the top of the standings.
For Girona, maybe they only need to secure their position to be able to finish in the top 4 and that is still not safe because there will be fierce competition between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid so Girona's position is a little threatened if they are not able to maintain consistency in the remaining matches this season.

Well the matches to play is still much when we narrow them down to the number of points that needs collecting by two teams but although the difference between the two teams is vividly clear s Real Madrid are much more stable than Barcelona but anything can happen. Well Girona have really slowed down on their pace in the league and it's funny seeing this because they almost ravished the whole teams in the Spanish Laliga division.

[piebeyb]

I think for this problem it is still possible for Barcelona to catch up but with 9 matches remaining and Madrid who still have consistency, the hope is still where Madrid do their job by continuing to play consistently and maintaining the current points margin.

I'm sure we all know that La Liga belongs to Barcelona when Madrid was inconsistent last season, so Barcelona maintained its consistency until the end of the season and won the title last season, likewise this season it looks like it will belong to Madrid, because they are very consistent in La Liga. as well as in the UCL until now, so they really maintain their performance to be able to perform better in every match and get good results, Madrid seems to be working hard for the title this season.

Whether it's a title in the domestic league or in the UCL, it seems that Madrid is chasing one or both, but in the remaining matches until the end of the season it seems difficult for Madrid to make consecutive mistakes that cost them and let Barcelona catch up on the points difference and overtake them, it seems that Barcelona will have to ready and open-minded if in the end Madrid will win the La Liga title this season, but these two teams Barcelona and Madrid also still have hope of winning a title other than La Liga, namely the UCL because as we also know, both of them are clubs full of surprises and also consistent.

We are now waiting for some decisive matches that will be going on this day or tomorrow.

The score at half time is still 0-0 but even so, at least the home team Cadiz really has good dominance in this match and by having good statistics in the first half like this it is feasible for Cadiz to get full points. But yes, there is still a second half and anything can still happen, because although Cadiz managed to dominate the match in the first half, but at least in the second half it is possible that Granada can improve the gameplay for the better.

Because after all, basically these two teams are also both struggling to get out of the relegation zone, although it is unlikely that they will avoid the relegation zone. But yes, at least if they continue to make great efforts then maybe one of them will get out of the relegation zone. But that's just a prediction at the moment, although in reality I personally don't believe they will make it out of the relegation zone at all, because the teams right above the relegation zone also have better quality to stay in La Liga.

Barca are at home in this match and I expect them to score in both halves. They will play a comfortable match against Las Palmas. For the betting Barcelona will score in both halves.

Barcelona has always had luck against Athletico Madrid; they knew their weak point last season and defeated them again this season. I believe Athletico Madrid will face Dortmund rather than PSG, and I will give Athletico Madrid hope in that game because Dortmund is not performing well this season and Athletico Madrid has many experienced players who know how to defeat big clubs on occasion. They overcame Real Madrid in the second leg of the league, and I thought they may get the opportunity to win the laliga trophy, but sadly, they refuse to play well and lead the league, but I simply know they will certainly get the opportunity and qualify to the next round to UCL, even Girona. they have fail to do well anymore since Madrid beat them in the second leg of the league and make Barcelona top them in the league table.

[Stepstowealth]

The two teams are relegation teams but Cadiz the home team have the better chance to somehow escape being relegated this season, this is the exact reason why they need to win this game where they have the home advantage. They could not score in the first half, but have scored an important goal in this second which they just have to hold on to awaiting and expecting Celta Vigo to loose on Sunday which can happen.

[ndutndut]

With Real Madrid's current performance, it is realistic that they will no longer be overtaken, they have quite good strength and consistency and their current points advantage makes them quite likely to be at the top of the standings.
For Girona, maybe they only need to secure their position to be able to finish in the top 4 and that is still not safe because there will be fierce competition between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid so Girona's position is a little threatened if they are not able to maintain consistency in the remaining matches this season.

Well Girona have really slowed down on their pace in the league and it's funny seeing this because they almost ravished the whole teams in the Spanish Laliga division.

Real Madrid this season has been more consistent than Barcelona, so in my opinion it is impossible for Barcelona to catch points from Madrid even though there are still many games left this season. I think Barcelona's current concentration will focus on fighting PSG in the UCL League. What's interesting about Girona's recent performance is that Girona has appeared very surprising in his first 22 matches in La Liga this season. In fact, in those 22 matches, Girona only lost once. However, in the last 7 matches, Girona seemed to have run out of stamina or lost concentration because in those seven matches, Girona was only able to win the match twice. In the remaining matches, Girona drew with Sociedad, lost to Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Real Mallorca, and finally Getafe.

Girona's next match is against Real Betis, of course this match is quite important for them. The reason is, if they lose again in this match, it could be said that Girona will decline even further and might finish in fourth place until the end of the season or could even be out of the UCL league zone.

[AYOBA]

I think it's too early to say that, they don't have any chance of catching Real Madrid from the top standings. Real Madrid has so many teams to meet, and even though some of the teams they're going to play with are weak, that's doesn't not give them hope that they're going to win all of their remaining matches. Or is it like you forgot that Barcelona is now also becoming a formidable squad in various competitions, and I'm having high hopes for them that they can also try as much as possible to make their performance so strong in this La Liga trophy. So that they can overtake Real Madrid from the top standing, because technically they have the chance of doing it, and I'm anticipating good changes from them.

It is still too early to say that Real Madrid will win, but if you look at Real Madrid's current performance, it seems difficult for Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the standings. Real Madrid this season has almost a perfect squad, it's just that they still lack strikers, but Ancelotti can still overcome it with the existing players. Barcelona was indeed on fire but it was too late for them to get up and catch up with the eight-point gap.

Actually, Real Madrid has has a strong performance this season since they were able to beat some of the teams in their previous matches. Why I'm having so much hope for Barcelona is that I know it can be possibly that Real Madrid can win all their of their remaining matches they have to play, is either they lose to some of the teams or draw, and from there they will begin to lose down their points, which will give Barcelona hope to make sure they also perform well in their coming match and dominate the match for them to receive all three points to make their point increase.
Because even though it is too late for them to catch up to Real Madrid, from my own view, if they try to put in efforts and improve their performance, they will still make it and achieve their goal against Real Madrid.

[Weawant]

Honestly, although mathematically yes Barcelona still has the advantage, realistically I think their chances are less than 5%. If Real Madrid loses points in a row with extraordinary results in the remaining matches and Barça wins, they can only be serious rivals in the championship race. I think Real Madrid will not turn back from this path.

I don't think at this point turning back is something that will be seen in real Madrid agenda, they are definitely going to make sure to win the la Liga this season without stressing really much as what their real stress would be on now would be with the champions league as that's the toughest of the league they will have to battle the rest of the season because as usual the competition back there is much though than that in the la Liga.

Currently Madrid isn't under much pressure in the la Liga to probably win the trophy as they are already comfortably seated at the top of the table but then they would most likely get to the point where they will have most of their attention focused on the champions league because it very likely they are winning the la Liga this season already and for any other team in the la Liga to at this point be able to displaced tham, it will mean they will have to suffer a series of losses which they are definitely not going to give in to such at This time of the season when they are close to the trophy.

Madrid would have had Barcelona contending with them for the la Liga title but somehow it happens that Barcelona was no longer strong enough to continue the race and they were left behind and even the team that are now at the second position which was supposed to be that of Barcelona are currently way behind Madrid too so it's more like it's most definitely going to be a trophy for Madrid this season.

[red4slash]

Real Madrid this season has almost a perfect squad, it's just that they still lack strikers, but Ancelotti can still overcome it with the existing players. Barcelona was indeed on fire but it was too late for them to get up and catch up with the eight-point gap.

Apart from that, there is still the Elcasico match, of course Real Madrid are very favored to win the Elcasico because they are playing in front of their own supporters, and there are several players who have been able to return from injury. Elcalsico's victory will be decisive in the race for the La Liga title for Real Madrid. However, before the Elclasico match, Real Madrid has to go through two matches against Bilbao and Mallorca. In my opinion, Real Madrid can get through these two matches easily.

Although for now there is still El Clasico and some dark horse clubs such as Bilbao, Betis and Sociedad that Madrid will face but in my opinion in this case it is still possible to say that Madrid will still be unstoppable and regain the trophy previously taken by Barcelona last season.
The current situation in terms of points Madrid is still 8 points ahead of its competitor Barcelona and relying on El Clasico to get points for Barcelona (if Barcelona wins) then I don't think it will change the fact that Madrid remains at the top because it only narrows the gap in terms of points margin, not to make the situation a real competition for the trophy.

We're still nine games away from the end of the season but to say that Madrid are now La Liga champions is an understatement because it's possible that something like that could happen.

[tiCeR]

Actually, Real Madrid has has a strong performance this season since they were able to beat some of the teams in their previous matches. Why I'm having so much hope for Barcelona is that I know it can be possibly that Real Madrid can win all their of their remaining matches they have to play, is either they lose to some of the teams or draw, and from there they will begin to lose down their points, which will give Barcelona hope to make sure they also perform well in their coming match and dominate the match for them to receive all three points to make their point increase.
Because even though it is too late for them to catch up to Real Madrid, from my own view, if they try to put in efforts and improve their performance, they will still make it and achieve their goal against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is playing very well this season and they were also able to bring in new players when they out of a sudden had to deal with injuries. Both Courtois and Vinicius Junior are key players ad while they found a great solution for Courtois, which was hard enough, it was difficult to do the same for Vinicius Junior when he was injured. But he is back and living up to his full potential. Barcelona won't get close to them, but to put it in a nutshell whether there is still a chance for the title race to become close, it will all be about matchday 32. The clasico will decide whether there is going to be some fighting until the end.
