La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[imamusma]

~~

Barcelona has achieved 20 wins from 30 La Liga matches, while Barcelona has only lost 3 times and 7 draws. Barcelona's number of defeats this season in La Liga matches has clearly decreased compared to last season, but they have almost twice as many draws. Maybe it's not that bad, but it has definitely made them fail to defend their title because Real Madrid have better statistic.

I'm not sure who will replace Xavi as coach next season, that hasn't been decided by the club. Several big names have certainly been rumored about this, but there has been no clear decision about who. Luis Enrique is of course still interested in coaching Barcelona, ​​but he still really wants to honor his contract with PSG. So I hope Barcelona can find the right replacement for Xavi, whoever he is.

It will be difficult for Barcelona to find a new successor to replace Xavi, if the manager they are looking for has quality and experience in winning trophies. Because Barcelona is not yet out of the financial crisis, which in my opinion will have difficulty recruiting coaches with expensive fees and salaries. Also, new coaches will usually ask the club to recruit target players, this cannot necessarily be fulfilled by Barcelona management. Xavi has announced that he will resign next season, whether he wants it or not, the management and club officials must look for a new coach, even though it is not a big name.

Apart from that, regarding the competition for trophies between Barcelona and Real Madrid, it seems that now the competition is over, because Ancelotti squad still looks very consistent in winning every match. There are not many remaining La Liga matches, the most realistic hope for Barcelona is to finish in runner-up position. Apart from that, Barcelona has the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, provided they are able to beat Luis Enrique squad, namely PSG.

...

It is now clear that Bilbao is not capable of drawing or winning Real Madrid, as Rodrigo have scored his second goal in the match with a superb finish this time from the left wing. I think those defenders cannot hold him down from scoring again if he sees the opportunity, because he beats them easily.

Rodrigo is doing the job perfectly, as Vini is on suspension today. Real Madrid have maintained their eight points gap. Barcelona played with a weak team to secure three points with a weak performance. Barcelona will drop points in El Classico, because they are vegetables to Real Madrid. The match is on the 83rd minutes, and the scoreline is still 2-0.

Yes, I was hoping for some more tension towards the end of the season as it is always amazing to see Real Madrid and Barcelona racing head to head and then the good old clasico takes place. I think everyone of us can remember one of those spectacular games when there was so much on the line in those games. But now with a comfortable 8 points lead I think there will still be a lot going on during that game, but it is quite a different starting position for both teams. Real Madrid doesn't have to win at all cost and they play at home, which makes it very difficult for an inconsistent Barcelona team. I think the La Liga title is already in the hands of Real Madrid.

It will be difficult for Barcelona to find a new successor to replace Xavi, if the manager they are looking for has quality and experience in winning trophies. Because Barcelona is not yet out of the financial crisis, which in my opinion will have difficulty recruiting coaches with expensive fees and salaries. Also, new coaches will usually ask the club to recruit target players, this cannot necessarily be fulfilled by Barcelona management.

Apart from that, Barcelona has the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, provided they are able to beat Luis Enrique squad, namely PSG.

You are right, Barcelona management will have difficulty finding a replacement coach for Xavi. Even though Xavi is considered a failure this season because he failed to defend the two titles he won last season, Xavi's performance at Barcelona is still considered good and something to be proud of. Xavi is Barcelona, ​​meaning he is more than just a coach to them because he is a legend who loves his club. But what can I do, he made a difficult decision in the middle of this season regarding his future and that was a surprise that I really didn't want to hear from him.

Now is not the time to expect a title race between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Everything is very clear so far if you know how many points the gap between them is, so Barcelona will just keep themselves in second place despite the disappointment of losing the title.

[Dzwaafu11]

Congratulations to Barcelona to embraced another three points from their opponent, and it has made them to used long gap to gap Girona and other teams which it will be difficult for them to recover. Now that Barcelona has fight a good fight in this season to come up to this current position in the la Liga league table, I believe Real Madrid need to win their match today so that they will not create pressure on them when they lose to their opponent. If you watch want Barcelona play in the la Liga league match to defeated  Las palmas 1-0, you will know that there will not be opportunity for them to defeat PSG in the champion league because PSG manager will going to use their talented players to start the match so that they will embrace early opportunity to  score goals that will bring victory to PSG.

Barcelona's victory over Las Palmas was not convincing, it could even be said that the red card received by Las Palmas helped Barcelona to score the only goal in the match to get three points and maintain their current runner up position. Meanwhile, their chances in the Champions League are still unclear because the two teams can be said to be of equal strength so it is quite difficult to predict who will succeed in advancing to the semifinals and I think the home match will really determine the outcome later.

It’s kind of surprising that anytime I see someone hyping a club that is not performing well and then suddenly get luck and win a single match, then you will see another person hyping them that they are back to their form, just like the match between Barcelona and Las Palmas. The match is not tough, and beside Las Palmas got a red card, so for me, I can confidently say that that is what gave Barcelona the opportunity to win that match, not their performance. If it were their performances, they would have been doing very well and even scored a goal before Las Palmas players got that red card, but they didn’t 

However, Barcelona are not back to form. Let us see another match from them, and then we can say that they are back to form if they win and not by luck because this one that they won against Las Palmas is luck. 

Real Madrid certainly understands that they cannot make mistakes in the remaining matches this season because if the point difference decreases, it will put strong pressure on them in the remaining matches, making it difficult for Real Madrid to be able to concentrate on the Champions League, especially as their opponent in the quarter-finals is a tough opponent.

At the moment, Real Madrid has already faced La Liga. They know that if they want to face the two competitions, it will be hard for them, and perhaps some of their players may get weak, so I think it is better to concentrate on where they have a high chance of winning the title. However, they are in the dangerous zone of the table; any wrong move may decrease their chance of winning the title this season, so they won’t do that. However, let us continue to watch if they are going to be able to dominate both leagues.

[Adams0001]

I am standing Girona and Real Madrid to win their respective home matches with a combine multiple bet odd of 2.84. Girona is facing Real Betis, a team more or less like a vegetable at away that I think will be easily defeated by Girona that have remained consistently strong at home despite their recent away weakness. Despite that they have almost lost out in the quest for the title this season, they still have to continue winning their matches to remain in champions league spot next season. So this is likely a clean three points for them.  Similarly, Real Madrid have been a favorite team to win the league this season and if there is anything that will slow them down, it will definitely not be Athletic Bilbao. So it is an easy pick for me for a  medium risk bet.

Girona and Real Madrid have won their home game, and I believe Real Madrid will focus on the Champions League now against Manchester City, Since is there next match now. Real Madrid's performance in the first leg was excellent, and they shown that they are prepared to face Manchester City. They drew their match against Arsenal, but I believe this was due to their injured players. They must prepare for Real Madrid in the Champions League. I know most of their players will be back before the game next Tuesday, but Militoa did not have enough time to play against Athletico Bilbao today because he is returning from an injury. I believe they are now strong enough to play full-time in their upcoming league match not champions league, because I know Ancelotti will not like to start him against Manchester City this season he prefer to used Rudigel now as is first eleven. he have many advantages when madrid is losing.

Awesome, Rodrygo

The match may not be easy, because Bilbao also put up quite tough resistance. So, Real Madrid's attacking liners also failed several times to attack the opponent's defense. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Bilbao also attacked Real Madrid quite intensely several times.

However, this time, Real Madrid did not allow a single goal to be scored by Bilbao. And on the other hand, Rodrygo was really awesome this time, managing to contribute goals from the early minutes until the end. Real Madrid continued to lead. 2 goals from Rodrygo this time, makes it even more convincing that his performance is getting much better.

[len01]

Even though Xavi still managed to give his best result for Barcelona this season and also, even though Xavi managed to make Barcelona finish in second place but still, that factor will not make Xavi stay at Barcelona. Because after all, the decision to leave Barcelona at the end of this season was Xavi decision and not a request from Barcelona. Therefore, whatever results Barcelona gets this season will still make Xavi to leave and therefore, ofcourse Barcelona must move quickly to get the right coach to handle Barcelona in a situation like what is happening now. Because ofcourse, considering the bad financial situation but in the same time Barcelona big desire to win trophies, then of course this will put pressure on the coach.

Xavi strong encouragement must leave Barcelona next season only a criticism that continues to come when Barcelona failed to win the La Liga title and on the one hand Barcelona also seemed to have blamed Xavi when defeat several times at that time.
so Xavi felt pressured while in Barcelona who should have been given praise but instead got bad criticism from outside the team and in the team that made Xavi decide to leave Barcelona.
this decision is very wise to me, when a great coach makes a good contribution but not valued it would be better to move to another more feasible team.

Real Madrid dominated the game well and basically I didn't see them under much pressure throughout the match. Bilbao certainly tried their best to score goals and get points, but they couldn't do it because Real Madrid's defense was very good. There are several opportunities, but they cannot be exploited perfectly.

In the end, the standings did not change this week, especially Real Madrid, Barcelona and Girona. The points gap is still the same as last week, but we don't know yet whether Bilbao will get out of the Champions League zone. Atletico Madrid will certainly try to win tomorrow's match, they will gain their position in 4th place by kicking Bilbao out of the Champions League zone.

Rodrygo was clearly good in this match, he was the best player in this match with the two goals he scored. Without Vinicius, Rodrygo lights up.

[arimamib]

Barcelona did not play like when they beat Atletico, the big names who strengthen Barcelona and have above average individual skills had difficulty breaking down the Las Palmas defense which played very well. One goal scored in this match was a very pleasant thing for Barcelona because they managed to secure second place while also cutting the gap with Real Madrid to 5 points.

A big team often have different mindset when the play against a weaker team compared to when they play against their rivals. This why, despite starting their current best lineup, they struggled to penetrate the defense of Las Palmas. It clearly seemed the performance didn't mirror the brilliance they displayed against Atletico Madrid. Scoring just one goal in the match must have brought a sense of relief for Barcelona, because it not only secured them second place but also narrowed the gap with Real Madrid.

Barcelona still need to improve the consistency of their performance. Barcelona may not have showcased their full potential in this match, but securing the win and closing the distance to the league leaders could be another motivation and encouragement for the team. From here, they should treat each game is crucial. Barcelona should be looking to build on this result and maintain their momentum in case they Madrid have slip-ups.

Yes, I still remember the old days when the battle for who will become champions in La Liga between Real Madrid and Barcelona was very difficult to predict due to the performance between the both teams and their points likewise the caliber of players they have in the team and it was always interesting to watch the two teams Play each other because you could easily expect a big fight between the defenders and Ronaldo and Messi was the focus in the game and they were always doing their best but lately the performance of Barcelona dropped and the team has managed to get back a little on their feet but with the 8 points difference between them and Real Madrid, I hink Xavi may need to get more better players that can match Real Madrid team if they want to compete with them next season cause 8 points should give them the league already.

Those days when Barcelona were having strong competition with Real Madrid in the race for who wins the Spanish La Liga title is over and I don't think we're going to experience such competition any time soon again because the financial crises at Barcelona have limited them from signing quality players that'll match the energy and tactical strength of Real Madrid.
Again Barcelona's current manager Xavi Hernandez have announced that he's going to leave the club at the end of the season and I think it'll be very difficult for Barcelona to get another manager that can be able to help the current squad of Barcelona to be as good as they are at the moment. Real Madrid I think will continue to be the better team for a very long time

[Roseline492]

Las Palmas did very well in averting many goals following the early red card. Perhaps Barcelona have continued to show how weak a team they have become this season. If it were the strong Barcelona that we know, there was no way they will not score at least 4 goals against Las Palmas who is never a treat to any big side this season. The conceded 5 goals against Atletico Madrid and 3 goals against Getafe so this demystify their supposed fighting spirit. I'm sure Barcelona has just increase the pockets of the bookies by neutralising those who would have played with the expectations of many goals

Palmas had a very difficult time on that match because of the red card that was issued on them, that was were there problem started from and after then they began to struggle, had it been that they got the red card when the match had already gone far they would have managed to maintain and hold Barcelona to a draw, however it just very unfortunate that they receive the red card very early and Barcelona utilize the opportunity immediately and score the goal, also with the performance Palmas has on that match if not for the red card it would not have been easy on Barcelona because even after the card they still put in there efforts to try if they can equalize.

The match may not be easy, because Bilbao also put up quite tough resistance. So, Real Madrid's attacking liners also failed several times to attack the opponent's defense. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Bilbao also attacked Real Madrid quite intensely several times.

Yep. It is a tight match, Bilbao actually can keep up Real Madrid game. Just look at the stats, there is no big difference between Real Madrid and Bilbao!
However, Real Madrid has a better quality of players. So they played more effective, they could score 2 goals although they only made 4 shots on target. Rodrygo succeed scoring 2 goals in this match. Brahim Diaz and Bellingham are 2 players who contributed to give 2 assits.

Rodrygo was really awesome this time, managing to contribute goals from the early minutes until the end.

Rodrygo proves that he is an important player in Real Madrid attacking line. With this great performance, he wants to dismiss the rumor of leaving Real Madrid when Mbappe finally joins Real Madrid. Rodrygo can't be separated from Real Madrid squad because he has a big role and one of the machine goals of Real Madrid.

[red4slash]

Barcelona does get wins barely but they still do get them and that's what matters. Oscar Hernandez is a great catch to any other team that is looking for a manager by the way, sure maybe not a huge name team, but a smaller club should give him a chance and could probably do well there. Think about it, if you are a team in a smaller nation, you could get Oscar and let him build you to be like Barcelona as well, not easy task but not terrible neither.

I think it is going fine for Barcelona at the moment, yeah the games do not look dominant and all, but they do look like they get the three points which is all that matters. I hope that we could see Barcelona do well enough that they keep Xavi in the end, that's what matters.

Even though Xavi still managed to give his best result for Barcelona this season and also, even though Xavi managed to make Barcelona finish in second place but still, that factor will not make Xavi stay at Barcelona. Because after all, the decision to leave Barcelona at the end of this season was Xavi decision and not a request from Barcelona. Therefore, whatever results Barcelona gets this season will still make Xavi to leave and therefore, ofcourse Barcelona must move quickly to get the right coach to handle Barcelona in a situation like what is happening now. Because ofcourse, considering the bad financial situation but in the same time Barcelona big desire to win trophies, then of course this will put pressure on the coach.

Now with Xavi statement that he wants to leave after this season ends, it does make Barcelona's situation even more complicated especially when he said that even though Barcelona won in the end he was firm in his stance to leave so this became even more complicated for Barcelona.

Currently Laporta is still trying to get Xavi to return to coach Barcelona next season but it looks like Xavi decision is unanimous and what must be done is to find a new coaching option so that Barcelona do not have a bad season next season after Xavi departure from Camp Nou .
The lack of appreciation is also one of the real mistakes for Barcelona even though if they provide the best conditions then Xavi will definitely stay considering Xavi's loyalty is not to be discussed for Barcelona but now it looks like it's too late because the chances of Xavi leaving are very strong.

Rodrigo is really improving fast, because of the way he confidently scored those two goals. He was give the MVP of the game because his two goals gave Madrid all three points. Rodrigo also scored for Brazil against Spain during the international break. This tells you that he is adding more effect to see himself scoring more goals than before.

Bilbao played everything they could but they were unable to add any impact on finding the back of the net. If I am correct, only few shots was on target and Real Madrid goalkeeper denied them one opportunity from Inaki Williams. An easy win for Real Madrid.

[boltz]

8 points already between Real and Barcelona and at this point we can safely say Real are champions 90%.

Also , I doubt he will see a fight for European spots as 6th place has a comfortable distance of 7 points vs 7th place. Also , the relegation zone seems like locked in for some teams and this will draw down the viewership on LaLiga a lot but it's normal because last 3 years in Spain have been pure chaos on the relegation zone with so many new teams coming into LaLiga and then , they relegate the next season back to LaLiga2.

Yeah Real Madrid is already in the safe zone and they are still consistently winning every match so there is no way for Barcelona to catch up, meanwhile in the relegation zone, only Cadiz has a chance to get out and we can see their efforts in the last 3 matches they collected 6 points. In the Champions League zone we will see competition between Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club and today Atletico Madrid will play away against Villarreal, there is no other choice, Atletico Madrid must win if they want to move up to the top 4 or if the two teams only draw then the situation will become even more complicated. On the other hand, Villarreal is on fire after winning 4 matches in a row obviously this will increase the players' confidence, especially when playing at home.

[Weawant]

Real Madrid home advantage is something that we cannot get to over look or possibly think wouldn't be utilized well enough because Real Madrid is very much ready to get the la Liga title this season and they are continually maintain their top position to bring to reality the dream of winning the la Liga title by the end of this season of which it's very possible going by their performance a d results gotten so far.

Real Madrid actually had dominance over club athletico in this game and they had a very early goal at the eighth minutes of the game and that alone to me was a sign that they were most definitely going to win the game, Real Madrid actually dominated the game all through from the first to the last half and they aswell did had the most possession of the ball by statistics and they were even ahead in other statistics aswell too, Real Madrid isn't a team that we will expect any thing weak from them , now Madrid is at the top of the table with over eight points ahead.

AthletiCo isn't a weak or a small team either but then they weren't able to stay ahead in this game and its quite understandable in the fact that they were actually playing against a really tough team so I wouldn't be expecting they would have had it easy because they would ja e been even  more on the defensive than the offensive because the team they are playing against is an offensive champion with any opportunity will win.

[Bitcoin_people]

Real Madrid had a great win at home against Atlético Club, it was really interesting. Atlético defeated the club 2-0 and they are still reigning La Liga with maximum points at the top of the points table. This season we can say for sure that Real Madrid is a strong team and they are strong enough to win the title and we expect them to be champions. Barcelona are still many points behind Real Madrid, which means they have a long way to go to make it competition with Real Madrid.

However, although this match was won by Real Madrid brilliantly, the Madrid team needs to be tougher because if Barcelona becomes stronger, they can compete with Real Madrid in La Liga. However, Real Madrid is currently more focused on the Champions League as it could be very difficult to win matches against City. So this season will be the most attacking and strong in the Champions League game, Ancelotti must be working hard enough for his team to win the Champions League trophy. Moreover, this season Real Madrid has enough opportunities to win the Champions League including La Liga, so this opportunity will not be missed by the Madrid team.

Real Madrid's impressive performance in their Spanish La Liga game against Athletic Bilbao tonight truly suggests that there's nothing that's going to stop them from winning the Spanish league title at the end of the season. After Barcelona were able to defeat Las Palmas, they reduced their points difference behind league leaders Real Madrid but the Los Blancos went ruthless against Athletic Bilbao to make sure to extend their points difference ahead of Barcelona back to eighth points.
That being said, the result of the game wasn't the most interesting part of the game for me rather it is how the two goals hero Rodrygo performed extremely well playing from the left side of Real Madrid's attack. The Brazilian is always played in the right side of the attack but considering his performance in that game against Athletic Bilbao, I think he can also fit in very well in the left flank of Real Madrid's attack
