La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

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.

The bookies can never predict the outcome of all the matches right, and that is why it is called gamble, because you are predicting the outcome of the future. I am also seeing it from my side that Real Madrid would win Manchester city based on the reasons that you stated above.

City is not as strong as last season, amd it would be a problem for them, especially now that any player can score in the club. Real Madrid front liners are dangerous, and they can break into any strong defense within a minutes. If Walker would play, good for City, because Gundogan is not anymore in the club. Only Real Madrid have won the Champions League back to back.

Without a striker, Real Madrid remains at the top of La Liga, scoring a lot of goals with attacking players. I hope Ancelotti looks into this before the next season, because this one is already finish.

They had Joselu, but she didn't put in the best performance. But at the moment Madrid's midfielders are very productive and they are helped by this condition. I think indeed if he had Benzema's replacement then they would be better.  But I recommend them to buy Serhou Guirassy, currently the transfer value is €40.00m (transfermarkt). His statistics are also very good. He made 23 goals in 21 games of the 23/24 season.

Decreased performance often occurs for big teams. Real Madrid's performance is similar to Manchester City. In the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match, my side is more towards Manchester City even though Manchester City's performance this season is not what its supporters expect.
Real Madrid ahead of the first leg of the quarter final at the Santiago Bernabeu received additional players because Militao was able to return to play.
I think this is a show of Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola's strategy and tactics to prove who is the best between the two.

The last game Real Madrid played went well all thanks to the young player Rodrygo. They got all 3pt but I still feel these guys or should I say the Madrid side are missing something in every game they play. They can't get more goals like they used to, they got Bellingham and he wasn't enough, soon Mbappe will be joining the squad (until then) but you see that number 9 position is a great miss for Madrid.

Real Madrid prove to Athletics club that they are stronger than them in this season for what they did to them in their home without allowed them to scored a single goal from the match, because Real Madrid didn't allow them to display well from the match. Rodrygo is a talented player and he has showcased some skills in their home to scored two goals to help Real Madrid to achieved three points, and it was a great celebration in the home of Real Madrid for only one player to scored all the goals from the match. I know that, if Real Madrid coach succeed to sign in Mbappe into Real Madrid, it will be difficult for any team to withstand Real Madrid again because it will increase their performance.

Real Madrid had a pretty easy match. Rodrygo played really well for Real Madrid. I believe that attacking of Real Madrid has improved. But still there needs to be a little more chemistry between the wingers and the striker. And I also have to say that the goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Lunin, did really well in that match. He made a very important save and his overall game has looked to be good. I think he has the potential to be a starting lineup goalkeeper for Real Madrid in the future. Anyway with this 3 points, Real Madrid makes sure that they stay on the first position of the table.

[Salahmu]

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.

Yeah there is no way Almeria and Granada will bring themselves out of the relegation because the both teams has the lowest performance on this season league, imagine how many matches they have played but Granada only has 14 points while Almeria has 13 points which is nothing compare to every other clubs, perhaps that's why it will not be possible for the both teams to remove themselves from relegation and funny enough they both still have more difficult matches ahead of them which will even make things more difficult for them.

However Granada will be meeting Valencia on there next match and considering Granada performance it will be a free points for Valencia because I don't think Granada will stress them on that match. Almeria on the other hand will also meet Real Sociedad on there next match which will also be a free points for real Sociedad, so with the look of things Granada and Almeria does not even have any hope of wining any of there upcoming matches.

I'm just hearing about this player now, but to be honest, Real Madrid won't need a striker by next season with the squad they're about to put together. Some of their forwards playing on the flanks must come in and strike at some point because they cannot have too many good players on the bench without using them and paying them a high salary each week. Based on what I've seen, they don't need a striker again; they can manage and fill the striking role with the squad they'll be using next season.

[Abu-Naim]

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.

Barcelona and Girona have points on paper, but I don’t think they can in any way win the Laliga title ahead of Madrid because Real Madrid is in good form more than the two teams and I don’t think they will misuse this opportunity to win the Laliga title because they don’t know what will happen next season and they don’t also know if they can beat Manchester City to qualify to the next round of the Champions League.

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.

Since the time Girona lost form, I knew that Barcelona will overtake them, therefore, in my opinion, Barcelona will be the runner up team this season.

Real Madrid is the favorite in the home game in my opinion, but somehow it is different in the eyes of the bookies.

As I said before, it seems that Manchester City's performance is very different from last season. I feel that there are internal problems which ultimately result in the condition of the players on the field not making a maximum contribution or not following Ancelotti's directions well. Well, I also don't know for sure why it happened like this, what I hope is that Ancelloti must improve the relationship between the coach and the players so that when they are on the field they can contribute with all their strength again. Hopefully in the next match against Aston Villa they will be able to win and provide fresh air to their supporters again.

[TelolettOm]

Actually, in this match everyone expected Barcelona to win easily. And that's exactly what happened, right?
But if you ask me about Barca's performance, my issue with Barcelona is that they have missed a lot of chances.
Well,  I guess I have to give them credit for creating a lot of chances in the first place.

Yes, to be honest, it's normal, the victory is according to predictions, that Barcelona should win and will win. And they really won. But yeah, that's fine. Because their performance is not that good. You're right, they missed a lot of opportunities to score more goals. Even though they only played against small club Las Palmas, who only had 10 players from the 24th minute. However, Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal, and that too in the second half by Rapinha. Meanwhile, Barcelona had 70% ball possession and around 14 shots. Isn't this quite annoying when every time they get close to the Las Palmas defense but fail again and again? That's quite[ annoying. But oh well, they won. It's just that Xavi has quite a lot of homework for that.

Currently Real Madrid is quite far ahead of Barcelona and Girona if you look at the points scored. Then if you look at the difference in performance, Real Madrid is also better than Barcelona and Girona. Therefore, Barcelona and Girona will certainly find it very difficult to shift Real Madrid's position from the top position. Because for example, a match that might shake Real Madrid a little is the match against Barcelona and for example Real Madrid loses that match. But still, Real Madrid will definitely remain firmly at the top. The reason is, the difference in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 8 points. So, if for example Barcelona wins against Real Madrid, Real Madrid is still 5 points ahead. But apart from that, I think Real Madrid can definitely beat Barcelona. The reason is that in the previous meeting, Barcelona was defeated by Real Madrid. So in the next meeting, I believe Barcelona will most likely lose again.

For this reason, for the remainder of this season, Barcelona or Girona will definitely only focus on maintaining their current ranking in Laliga. Because according to my personal assumption, Barcelona or Girona do not have high hopes of becoming top of the Laliga standings.

Apart from that, Barcelona and Girona's match schedule next week. Barcelona will face Cadiz, and Girona will face Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid always comes out with the best players, why? Because Florentino Pérez is competent for the hurdles coming his paths. Real Madrid are doing exceptionally brilliant without the presence of a top striker, they have everything in balance shape and Carlo Ancelotti is just thr perfect coach to manages the affairs of the club. Real Madrid is also in competitive race for the UEFA Champions League and ranking top #1 when it comes to La Liga title race. Los Blancos have alot to work and accomplish this season, they can only win these teams with consistency and structuring big winnings.

I also think so, at least Madrid can play more openly and better than last season against Man City.

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.

Manchester City not being able to defeat these two teams, which are Arsenal and Liverpool, shows that they still have a slight weakness with them because those two teams are not weak teams, so them going on a draw with them, especially Arsenal, was not expected by many. When we also check the other side, we will see that Arsenal are also trying to be a tough team, and I can say they have started achieving that aim already. 

And again, talk about the Champions League. The bookies thought that Manchester City would win a home game is the worst prediction to me because Real Madrid never allowed themselves to lose a home game. Talk less of a quarterfinal game in the Champions League, you know it will be hard to imagine. To the bookies, what did you think when they said Real Madrid has more experience than Manchester City when it comes to the Champions League? Although everyone has the right to predict their wishes based on their own facts, I don’t see any hope of Real Madrid losing a home game.

Manchester City's current performance is not as good as before. Even the level of attack they built I think has also decreased slightly. Even Manchester City's defense is not as strong as usual. If we look at the match against Arsenal, Jesus even had several good opportunities to break into Manchester City's goal. but Jesus was unlucky and he always had a missed kick. If only Jesus had good accuracy then I think Manchester City could have even lost that match. This indicates that Manchester City's performance is slowly declining.

And in the match against Real Madrid, Manchester City was actually also in a less fortunate condition. Because I see Manchester City's match schedule is busier. So it is very natural that for the first leg Real Madrid will be favored by people. But I also understand why many people still favor Manchester City. Because they look and collect data thoroughly but have not considered their latest game statistics.

Barcelona and Girona have points on paper, but I don’t think they can in any way win the Laliga title ahead of Madrid because Real Madrid is in good form more than the two teams and I don’t think they will misuse this opportunity to win the Laliga title because they don’t know what will happen next season and they don’t also know if they can beat Manchester City to qualify to the next round of the Champions League.

Give to the performance of those two teams now. I think if Real Madrid is not careful, they may lose this top standing that their claim even though they have high points. In my opinion, Real Madrid can misuse this opportunity because I didn't have hope they could win the La Liga tittle. Although they are in good form currently, that doesn't give them hope that they can dominate the tittle. Because there are some clubs that did more better than Real Madrid in some leagues, and now they're not the ones leading the table, so in this case, Real Madrid needs more preparation to do if they really want to beat Manchester City for them to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

Since the time Girona lost form, I knew that Barcelona will overtake them, therefore, in my opinion, Barcelona will be the runner up team this season.

It is just that Girona is not maintaining their consistency If not, everyone knows that Girona is a very strong team this season because they started the season with a lot of performance, but they didn't have consistency, which is why they remain in the third position. But nevertheless, I'm still having big hope for them that they will soon overtake Barcelona from the second position, since Barcelona is only have 2 points ahead of Girona.

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.

The point gap between them and Celta has narrowed further this week. While Cadiz won, Celta drew and the point difference decreased by 2 more points. Last opportunities for survival for Cadiz. Risky times have begun for Celta Vigo. There is a 3 point gap and if this gap closes they will be in trouble. If the possibility of relegation from the league materializes, it would be a disappointment for Celta.

Real Madrid will play with enough caution and awareness at the moment as they will not lose the La Liga title and the Champions League spot. However, if they are not performing well at present, they may lose their points table position in La Liga so they will not lose their position so easily but they will be at the top with high points. As this season Real Madrid team is in the best position and they have played well enough to succeed in occupying the top spot but it is still uncertain whether they can win the title as Barcelona are also trying hard to take Real Madrid's place. However, Real Madrid has the potential to win two titles in front of them if they play strongly, surely they can win two titles, La Liga and Champions League. Moreover, Manchester City and Real Madrid must play with enough awareness, otherwise they will not be able to reach the next round, Manchester City will also have a strong enough attack against Real Madrid. Although it is difficult to say whether Real Madrid will try hard enough to win the Champions League, they are the most likely to win the La Liga.

Since the time Girona lost form, I knew that Barcelona will overtake them, therefore, in my opinion, Barcelona will be the runner up team this season.

It is just that Girona is not maintaining their consistency If not, everyone knows that Girona is a very strong team this season because they started the season with a lot of performance, but they didn't have consistency, which is why they remain in the third position. But nevertheless, I'm still having big hope for them that they will soon overtake Barcelona from the second position, since Barcelona is only have 2 points ahead of Girona.

What happened to Girona was predicted before they stepped down from first place. Girona's strength is only temporary or will at least last one season. Girona will have difficulty maintaining its performance because there are still Real Madrid and Barcelona who are superior to the strength they currently have.
Next Match Girona will play an away game at Atletico Madrid headquarters, of course this is not an easy match for Girona. Atletico will not let Girona steal points at their headquarters, especially now that they are trying to secure fourth position from chasing Bilbao.

Girona will have difficulty taking second place from Barcelona if they lose points at Atletico headquarters, on the other hand, Barcelona's current performance is still very consistent in collecting three points in every match. I think third place is ideal for Girona who are not able to maintain consistency in every match.

The last game Real Madrid played went well all thanks to the young player Rodrygo.

I know that, if Real Madrid coach succeed to sign in Mbappe into Real Madrid, it will be difficult for any team to withstand Real Madrid again because it will increase their performance.

Real Madrid's offensive side is very strong right now. This will increase even more if Kylian Mbappé comes to the team. We will have the chance to watch many goals in every match. Mbappé is currently having a very good season at Paris Saint-Germain. I have no doubt that he will experience something similar in Real Madrid. There are not many football players in the world with his talents. Recently he has become the most important figure in football apart from Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He played in the World Cup final with France and received the top scorer award. As for winning the Ballon D'or award, I think what he will do at Real Madrid will be enough.

The point gap between them and Celta has narrowed further this week. While Cadiz won, Celta drew and the point difference decreased by 2 more points. Last opportunities for survival for Cadiz. Risky times have begun for Celta Vigo. There is a 3 point gap and if this gap closes they will be in trouble. If the possibility of relegation from the league materializes, it would be a disappointment for Celta.

The competition in the relegation zone is now starting to increase after Cadiz slowly bounced back in the remaining matches, currently Celta Vigo is starting get pressure after the draw they got in the previous match, but for next week it looks like there will not be too many changes positions in the standings because both teams will again have the potential to lose points because facing two strong teams, Cadiz will play Barcelona at home,  While Celta Vigo will also face Real Betis who are no less strong.

In that match, I think Celta Vigo might be a little luckier because indeed at this time Real Betis are also not in good form, so they have a little bit chances to at least get 1 point in the game, Unlike Cadiz, facing Barcelona will certainly be a difficult job for them to be able to get 3 points at home, indeed before Cadiz surprised us when they could beat Atletico Madrid,  But I think Barcelona's current level is still above Atletico Madrid so there is little chance for Cadiz to beat Barcelona later, for the chances of the relegated team of course Almeria and Granada can no longer be saved, while Cadiz although they have a chance but I think their chances of staying in La Liga will be very difficult this season compared to Celta Vigo.

Barcelona and Girona have points on paper, but I don’t think they can in any way win the Laliga title ahead of Madrid because Real Madrid is in good form more than the two teams and I don’t think they will misuse this opportunity to win the Laliga title because they don’t know what will happen next season and they don’t also know if they can beat Manchester City to qualify to the next round of the Champions League.

Girona's points tally is 65 while Barcelona only has 67 points and Madrid has 75 points. Yes, it is clear that Barcelona will find it difficult to beat Real madrid , although the opportunity is still there for Barcelona, Girona to become champions, but of course it is very difficult to see. Madrid lost. Ancelotti will certainly not waste this great opportunity to Laliga champion.

Real Madrid is the strongest team currently in Laliga and of course I am sure Madrid will appear confident against Manchester City. but yes, this match in the Champions League is an exciting match because it brings together strong teams in the English league and Laliga, of course this is a very exciting match.

The result for this match looks like it will be difficult to guess who the winner will be because the team coached by Pep and coached by Ancelotti is certainly a very strong team.
