La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Antotena]

Real Madrid cannot convert Rodrigo to a striker because they want to buy one in the summer. Even though Real Madrid has a striker, they will not only depend on the striker to score goals; any player can score for Real Madrid. Also, know that Real Madrid is using their players in the position they are signed for.

If they want to convert him, they would have done so but it isn't in the interest of the Anceloti to do that. What he is doing to the team is reverse psychology, people think because he doesn't have a striker, he can't do much but despite that, he still went ahead and bring Bellingham that is a midfielder. He came like a wind and scatter everywhere, he literally handicap every other player with so many goals. That was Anceloti aim and it was achieved successful, this is why they were able to remain at the the top.

Real Madrid's next match will be against Mallorca. In my opinion, Ancelotti has to be careful because in the first meeting, even though Mallorca lost, the goal difference was only small because at that time the score ended with a score of 1-0.

But yes, it looks like Madrid has the potential to win against those 8 teams and fortunately Madrid has a lot of points so even if they suffer 1 defeat Madrid will still be ahead, we'll see.

Worry not my friend, they have bypass the fear stage of the Laliga. If they didn't lose much back then, they wouldn't right now. The worst that can happen right now is either they win or they draw in their next matches, even Barcelona can't dream of coming close to where Real Madrid are right now but I feel they might underperform in their next champions League match.

Like you rightly say, Real Madrid will face Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition and considering the form of the Spanish La Liga leaders at the moment, i think they stand a better chance of eliminating Manchester City from thd competition.

I also think so, at least Madrid can play more openly and better than last season against Man City. This does not rule out the possibility because if you look at Man City in the EPL, they are currently experiencing a bit of a setback. I saw it from several matches played, but Madrid still needs more preparation because what Madrid needs to stop Man City is to strengthen the back line and players who are able to closely guard the movements of Haaland, Foden and Kevin de Bruyne. These three players are connected to each other and if one of them is closely guarded it will kill Pep Guardiola strategy. Ancelotti task is quite tough but I believe that with Madrid solid condition now they will be able to provide a different resistance than last season.

Overall Real Madrid's performance this season is much better compared to last season from all sides and I am sure this season will also be different for Real Madrid because their focus is not burdened in La Liga because they are comfortable enough at the top of the standings so they can be more focuses on Champions League matches.
I don't highlight the decline in Manchester City's performance this season because I don't think it looks significant, but the development of quality at Real Madrid means that the matches between the two teams will be more intense this season compared to last season.

But, if Bellingham does not have an impressive performance this season then, of course, in reality Real Madrid still needs a pure striker. Therefore, the fact is that Real Madrid is still trying to sign Mbappe and by doing so, then of course Real Madrid also still needs a forward, because Real Madrid also cannot forever rely on Bellingham to make many goals for Real Madrid . Obviously, if in the next season Mbappe plays at Real Madrid with Bellingham, then Real Madrid will become greater and stronger and will have a good chance also in all competitions to get trophies. But yes, regarding the next match Real Madrid will play away against Mallorca, I personally remain fully confident that Real Madrid will still win.

Girona will feel happy if they can defend their position in top four and be eligible for Champions League 2024 - 2025. It means their first Champions League season  in their club history.

It also means that Girona will have good income next season and they can use it to reinvest in some more players while they will receive good offers from big clubs to sell some of star players in the summer transfer season.

I believe Girona are realistic that they are not competitive enough to win La Liga so what has been happening recent matches don't shock them too much.

Girona have this season surprised just everyone by the way they play and have change the usual trio of Barcelona and the two Madrid clubs occupying the top three now they are set for a comfortable top four finish which categorically qualifies them for the champions league but will they be able to compete in the said champions league that’s a decision still left undecided yet by UEFA. According to UEFA rules no two clubs owned by one entity or it’s biggest share owned by one entity can compete in the same competition. According to multiple sources the Girona Football club is actually owned by the same Entity that owns Manchester city in EPL. This means that with the current rules and also current form of both clubs one wouldn’t get to compete in the champions league. But hopefully it is resolved so this club can enjoy the benefits of their struggle.

As for the players I will advice some of them to seize the opportunity of moving to the bigger clubs as it might be too late in the future to get such opportunities again

[bering]

The competition for La Liga's top scorer towards the end of the season is getting tighter and this time Arthem Dovbyk has managed to top the list. There are 3 players who have the same collection of 16 goals and two of them are Jude Bellingham and Ante Budimir. Meanwhile, the differences between other players such as Borja Mayoral, Alvaro Morata and Robert Lewandowski are not that big.

All the players on the top scorer list are at their best and I think it is still difficult to determine who will win the golden boot this season. However, of all the players on the list who are strikers, only Jude Bellingham plays as a midfielder. Of course, Real Madrid's talented player who was just brought in from Dortmund this season made his debut very well and even immediately shot to the top scorer with other good players. After receiving an accumulation of red cards and having to miss the previous 2 matches, he has not scored another goal and in the match against Bilbao yesterday he only contributed one assist.

Talking about Artem Dovbyk and Jude Bellingham this is their debut season in Laliga but they can able to adapt quickly with their current teams and i think this is really impressive but for Jude Bellingham i have no wonder why he performing well because Real Madrid have to spend a lot of money to bought him from Dortmund but for Artem Dovbyk i think nobody will thought he will be appears as Girona top scorer in Laliga because Artem Dovbyk is underrated player and before playing with Girona Artem Dovbyk only spend his time to playing at small teams and his transfer amount while transfered to Girona also very cheap only 7 millions

Just like people predictions Girona might be will lost some players because this summer their players were targetting by big clubs even so with Artem Dovbyk that his impressive performance makes some of big teams were showing their interest to him and this January Chelsea almost make a bid for him and i am sure this summer Chelsea will thinking to gets him again and besides Chelsea Artem Dovbyk also was into Inter Milan radar

Overall Real Madrid's performance this season is much better compared to last season from all sides and I am sure this season will also be different for Real Madrid because their focus is not burdened in La Liga because they are comfortable enough at the top of the standings so they can be more focuses on Champions League matches.
I don't highlight the decline in Manchester City's performance this season because I don't think it looks significant, but the development of quality at Real Madrid means that the matches between the two teams will be more intense this season compared to last season.

With the point difference that has been established in the La Liga standings, it gives Madrid the freedom to focus more on the Champions League match, so that Ancelotti and his squad will not be too worried about their position at the top of the standings. Man City is still in the same form, drawing with Arsenal does not indicate their performance has decreased, but I think Arsenal has developed to be better so it is difficult to beat them. The Madrid versus Man City match will still be fierce, and I think their strengths are currently almost equal.

Madrid is a little lucky because from now on they can prepare themselves well and get enough rest before the match, because they don't have a match schedule to play in their domestic league. Meanwhile, Man City have to play two matches in the Premier League, which could make them a little tired and Pep Guardiola doesn't have much time to prepare his squad. However, a team like Man City or Madrid actually has no problem with a busy match schedule, home or away matches, what really affects their strength is the completeness of the squad.

But yes, regarding the next match Real Madrid will play away against Mallorca, I personally remain fully confident that Real Madrid will still win.

The performance of Real Madrid's front line has not been optimal this season, so many players from the middle or positions not as strikers have made many maneuvers to score goals to help the team achieve victory, as was done by Bellingham in several matches.

Since Benzema's departure, the Real Madrid team has not succeeded in finding a suitable replacement on the front line and because of this, Real Madrid is looking for a way to bring in Mbappe, this is quite important for the team in my opinion because so far the Real Madrid team's shortcomings or weaknesses have only been on the front line. and if they are able to cover that then it is very likely that their performance will be much better.

[hyudien]

Atletico Madrid managed to shift Bilbao in 4th position and the results obtained when they visited Villareal headquarters were fruitful. The match was quite tough and many goal opportunities were wasted, especially Morata who often had to miss scoring opportunities. But still managed to bring 3 points and was very good at maintaining 4th position. In the 31st week, Simeone troops will face Girona, this could be an event for revenge because in the last match, Girona was able to beat Atletico Madrid. Girona condition is increasingly unstable as at the start of the season, so Simeone still has the potential to take advantage of the opportunity to add to his goal collection.

What are your predictions regarding Atletico Madrid next meeting? Does Girona still have the same strength or not?

I don't think that Madrid's current attack line is not qualified, because in fact this season their can become the top ranking team in La Liga, besides that Madrid is the team that has created the most goals currently with66 goals in La Liga, besides that isn't Bellingham so far still the top scorer of La Liga with his collection of 16 goals with Budimir and Dovbyk,  Yes, if to improve to be even greater, of course Madrid will do it, including by recruiting Mbappe from PSG next season, but I think this season Madrid attack line is still quite good even though they don't have a central striker that they can rely on, but the midfielders and also the two wings that Madrid currently have are still very dangerous to threaten the opponents goal.

Benzema's departure certainly has an impact on Madrid's attack but this does not make Madrid's attack dull at this time, the arrival of Mbappe is certainly a hope for Madrid fans for them to return to glory like the Los Galacticos era, but it seems that it will actually make Madrid unbalanced later, considering now they have the potential to have many players who are indeed in positions like Mbappe,  Because actually Mbappe's original position is a wing forward, not as a center forward as we think so far.

If Mbappe comes to Real Madrid in the next season then that's when perhaps a real replacement figure who can fill the void left by Benzema will really be filled again. Because even though now there is Joselu who is also quite good and Bellingham who is even very productive in scoring goals, they are not yet at Benzema's level. And yes, it is hoped that with Mbappe's arrival everything will get better. And maybe Real Madrid will again be feared by their opponents. Because Real Madrid's attack line will probably experience quite rapid improvement. And currently all the news is heating up regarding Mbappe leaving PSG and coming to Real Madrid. But because there is no really official news yet, I think everything is still uncertain. I remember that in several seasons news about this matter continued to appear in the news media, but in several seasons everything had not yet come true. I hope this time everything comes true.

What are your predictions regarding Atletico Madrid next meeting? Does Girona still have the same strength or not?

Can't really say if girona will able to repeat the same result as the first leg. Girona is still strong enough but it's not as good as when it was at the early season. There are many things happen in the game and girona was totally aware if atletico madrid is just getting better here.
It will be so damn good for bilbao if girona will able to make atletico madrid to suffer another lose like the first leg. The competition to get into the top 4 is kinda hard for bilbao and atlegico madrid. I saw both of clubs are the same strong at this moment.

[skarais]

There are 8 points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with 8 matches remaining until the end of the season. It is obvious that Barcelona is now incapable of catching Real Madrid this time although a miracle can happen anytime but im doubting this.

That's true, I also doubt this possibility even though mathematically it is still very possible. Real Madrid's performance has been very consistent so far and I don't think they will drop many points in the remainder of the season, so Barcelona's only hope is to maintain second place to qualify automatically for next season's Champions League.

I'm sure Xavi no longer expects to compete for the title when there are only 8 games left until the end of the season. Everything is getting more difficult and it seems that Barcelona has lost the ambition to do so even though they have to maintain their best form every match. So far Barcelona's progress has not stopped, meaning they have exactly the same form as Real Madrid in their last 5 matches in La Liga.

Real Madrid only needs to win six matches in a row and it will have ez fixtures in the future, which will be relatively easy for madrid to beat these six fixtures and take full points all of upcoming matches.

Of course, if Real Madrid wins 6 of the next 8 matches, it means they are safe in winning the title even though Barcelona manages to win 24 points in the remainder of the season. But as you said, a surprise or miracle might come and Barcelona can compete again for the title. So far it's not impossible.

[Minor Miner]

Watching these two plays was interesting. Jörgensen, I was impressed that all the multiples were safe if not, the goals would have counted more than two. The pressure was great and the defense was broken at the moment so they were penetrating them easily. And ever before, Atletico Madrid is good, and watching this game there was coordination, and even at some point, Villarreal could not do anything again the pressure was great. Villarreal had good ball possession and their equalizing goal was clean but even before the game ended, I already knew that they wouldn't go far in this part because Atletico had more scoring experience than them. the fourth position is not bad at all, I don't think they will be able to cross that position because dose above is beyond

Last goal-blindsight

This was a good match for Atletico Madrid. They have played well. But I have to point out one thing. The goalkeeper of Villarreal performed really well in this match in my opinion. If he did not make so many really good saves I think Atletico Madrid could have scored a lot more goals in this match. And the last goal that Atletico Madrid scored, i think the goalkeeper of Villarreal was actually blindsighted. He did not see the ball early otherwise he should have been able to save it. Although he jumped from the corner side it was out of control

With this win Atletico Madrid stays in the 4th position, 2 points clear of Athletic club. And Villarreal is in the 10th position. Villarreal were playing well prior to this match. i hope they will be able to perform better in upcoming matches

[piebeyb]

With this win Atletico Madrid stays in the 4th position, 2 points clear of Athletic club. And Villarreal is in the 10th position. Villarreal were playing well prior to this match. i hope they will be able to perform better in upcoming matches

Yes, that's right and Bilbao still have a chance to overtake Atletico Madrid and finish in the top four until the end of the season, their difference of only two points will not make Atletico Madrid feel safe and comfortable because if they make even the slightest mistake it will give Bilbao the opportunity to overtake them in the rankings. fourth position, I know that Atletico Madrid is also focusing on the UCL and maintaining the performance of their players so they must be fit to face Dortmund next week.

I think it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to maintain the performance of their players and also rotate players so that they remain in good condition so that they can focus on maintaining their position so that they can finish in the top four at the end of the season and also be able to qualify for the important rounds of the UCL, at least into the semi-finals. final and beat Dortmund, Simeone will of course work hard to bring Atletico Madrid into the race for the UCL title this season even though of course it is very complicated but Atletico Madrid have that chance because in the domestic league they have no hope of winning the Laliga title this season either, I think Atletico Madrid must be able to get good results this season.

[AYOBA]

Overall Real Madrid's performance this season is much better compared to last season from all sides and I am sure this season will also be different for Real Madrid because their focus is not burdened in La Liga because they are comfortable enough at the top of the standings so they can be more focuses on Champions League matches.

Although that real Madrid performance is far from their last season performance, honestly, the real Madrid performance this season is very admirable. They start the season with so good performance. And up until today, they still put in efforts and hold on to their consistency since they were able to claim the top standing with almost 75 points, which gives everyone hope that Real Madrid is going to dominate the La Liga trophy this season. But to me, Real Madrid have higher points in the top standing that doesn't give them hope that they can qualify to all around and advance to the final stage, because currently Barcelona and Girona are also in good form, and I'm having hope for them that they can also do better and catch up  Real Madrid from the top of the table.

I don't highlight the decline in Manchester City's performance this season because I don't think it looks significant, but the development of quality at Real Madrid means that the matches between the two teams will be more intense this season compared to last season.

To be honest, if they should bring up the tough clubs this season. I think Manchester City and Real Madrid should finish first, they are just in the difference league, but their performances have improved compared to their last season performing.

[Minecache]

We all know that two teams are not avoiding relegation in this season and they are Granada and  Almeria. I don't think it is going to matter too much what they do from now on, we all know that they will not be able to win the matches that they have left. Actually there is no way they will be able to gain so much point that they will be clear from the relegation zone. However there is a chance for Cadiz to avoid relegation,  I think if they can perform a little more consistently, they can get ahead of Celta Vigo.  And I would actually like to see them avoiding relegation and staying in la Liga. if they start performing better, all the teams from the 13th position to the 17th position are going to be in trouble because the point difference is not a lot.

[red4slash]

The current situation is still possible for them to win, but seeing from Villarreal's attack pattern where their fast counter-attacks are quite troublesome, it seems that this is still a difficult situation for Atletico, especially they are still not too good when attacking.
This is still difficult for Atletico to win even though they are the current favourites because seeing from Villarreal's fighting spirit now when playing at El Madrigal, which incidentally is their own home, there is definitely a great confidence because they play with the full support of their supporters.

Time is still long enough now for Atletico to be able to outperform Villarreal again but indeed this will not be easy especially with Villarreal who could equalise the score some time ago making their confidence definitely increased and this could be a problem for Atletico.

Both teams are playing with so much intensity, but if this game ends like this it will be good for Atlético Madrid. They will get back to the top 4 should the game ends in this way. Villarreal are really playing very good and they might go ahead to draw this match. Atlético Madrid really needed to win this match. Atlético Madrid have lost form lately and this has resulted to them losing their top 4 status, this game would  a perfect way for them to get back to the top 4, but so far they are still struggling winning by 2 goals to 1. I just hope it ends this way for them.

Alexander Sørloth gave a good hope early in the second half but it seemed that Atletico did not want to let go of this match and they wanted 3 points and the result in the crucial minute Saul again gave them the advantage and 3 points were obtained in this match.

I think it's a good result because that's what they need to do anyway and get a win for the rest of the season given the situation is still unfavourable for them.
With this victory they managed to get a good thing because Bilbao had to surrender from Madrid and it could be maximised well for them so that the top 4 positions were again obtained even though it was still not too safe because their points margin could still be overtaken by Bilbao if in the end their performance did not go well in the remaining matches to be carried out considering the end of the season sometimes always provides a crucial momentum that sometimes cannot be suppressed.

I also think so, at least Madrid can play more openly and better than last season against Man City. This does not rule out the possibility because if you look at Man City in the EPL, they are currently experiencing a bit of a setback. I saw it from several matches played, but Madrid still needs more preparation because what Madrid needs to stop Man City is to strengthen the back line and players who are able to closely guard the movements of Haaland, Foden and Kevin de Bruyne. These three players are connected to each other and if one of them is closely guarded it will kill Pep Guardiola strategy. Ancelotti task is quite tough but I believe that with Madrid solid condition now they will be able to provide a different resistance than last season.

You are right, Manchester City's performance this season is not as great as last season, especially in big matches. I saw them differently against Liverpool, also different against Arsenal. Manchester City failed to win both matches, while they had weaknesses in defense due to injuries to several players. If Ancelotti is able to understand Manchester City's weaknesses, then I believe Real Madrid will not be as ridiculous as last season in the quarter-finals this season.

I don't understand why Manchester City's probability is better than Real Madrid's in the first leg. Manchester City should not be stronger than Real Madrid this season, so I don't agree with the probabilities at all. Real Madrid is the favorite in the home game in my opinion, but somehow it is different in the eyes of the bookies.

[marcous]

Madrid can almost certainly win the competition for the trophy, although mathematically Barcelona and Girona still have a chance. The only tough match that could trouble Los Blancos is against Barcelona, the rest I predict Ancelotti fleet can sweep the match clean by getting full points.

The runnerup position in the standings will be contested by Barcelona and Girona, where Barcelona chances are greater than Girona, because Xavi fleet is used to the heavy pressure before the season ends. However, Girona should be grateful, because they were able to finish in the top four of the standings and get a ticket to the Champions League next season.

On the other hand, competition in the degradation zone will also be tight, where Cadiz, Granada and Almeria have the potential to be degradation to Segunda Division. Among the three teams, only Cadiz has the opportunity to get out of the red zone, because of the difference in points with the teams above them not that wide. Meanwhile, Almeria is the team that has the worst luck, because in the 30 matches they have played they have only been able to achieve 1 win.

[hahay]

We all know that two teams are not avoiding relegation in this season and they are Granada and  Almeria. I don't think it is going to matter too much what they do from now on, we all know that they will not be able to win the matches that they have left. Actually there is no way they will be able to gain so much point that they will be clear from the relegation zone. However there is a chance for Cadiz to avoid relegation,  I think if they can perform a little more consistently, they can get ahead of Celta Vigo.  And I would actually like to see them avoiding relegation and staying in la Liga. if they start performing better, all the teams from the 13th position to the 17th position are going to be in trouble because the point difference is not a lot.

Yes indeed, because Cadiz and Celta Vigo only have a gap of 3 points, then at least there is still a chance for Cadiz to be able to compete strongly with Celta Viga to survive in La Liga. But anyway, their competition is really the result of having a point advantage because anyway, if they have the same points then of course Cadiz will still be below Celta Vigo position. Because afterall, atleast Celta Vigo has a higher total aggressiveness of goals compared to Cadiz. Therefore, if Cadiz wants to overtake Celta Vigo, Cadiz must really have a point advantage and cannot just rely on the same points, because Cadiz is still inferior to Celta Vigo. But anyway, even though the teams you mentioned that have a close points gap but still, Cadiz only has a chance to overtake Celta Vigo and Cadiz has no chance to overtake the other teams above it.
