La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Sebas.tian]

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.

We have seen a lot of positive results from Real Madrid in this season that will make them not to make any mistakes that will make them to miss the la Liga league title, because they where able to defeated Girona 4-0 in their home to reduced their position. And Barcelona has taken the position of Girona to be in second position but their position will not cause Real Madrid pressure because their points is still higher than Barcelona which will be difficult for Barcelona to win this title again. If Real Madrid could defeated strong team in this season, I don't think Barcelona will be their challenge in their remaining matches because they have the tactics they use to destroy such team with many goals.

[beerlover]

Moreover, I'm not sure Barcelona can threaten Real Madrid's position at the top of the standings. Barcelona always has difficulty maintaining their good performance, and they even tend to have difficulty winning easy matches for the rest of the season. Real Madrid is still very likely to create a bigger points gap than Barcelona, ​​but this might happen in the next El Clasico.

I agree with you, Barcelona cannot threaten Real Madrid's position with their current 67 points. It is already clear that Real Madrid will win the trophy, not Barcelona. There are still eight games left to play, I believe Real Madrid will not lose any of them because I only consider the next El Clasico game as a serious challenge for Real Madrid, I don't think they will lose to Barcelona. The first meeting did not go well for Barcelona at home, it is obvious that Real Madrid will win the second match at home. Barcelona's chances of competing for the title has ended due to a lack of consistency this season, they were unable to maintain their winning ways this season.

And that is the wildest thing about them this season. If they ended up not being great, like if Barcelona played much better and Real failed to win many games and they were the ones that was second place, I would have totally understood that because lack of a striker for such a team is a big deal. They couldn't really do anything with Joselu, dude is nowhere near the real Madrid level and he ended up not playing much after a while when they realized they can't play with him.

So, now for a long time they have been playing without a striker, that has to be one of the most important parts of the deal, and I believe that will definitely reach to a point where things will end up being a little different for many people in the world.

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.

After Benzema was decide to leave some people are starting to worry whether Real Madrid can find his replacement or not and people too are starting to doubt because they spend a lot of money to gets Jude Bellingham which is a midfielder not a striker and everybody was confused because Real Madrid only loan Joselu from Espanyol for striker position but Ancelotti is very smart that without expensive striker he can make Real Madrid performing well and scores plenty of goals even during this season they are as the team with the most goals in Laliga

If Mbappe is really arrived to Real Madrid i think they not necessary to bought more a striker because although Mbappe real position is a winger but sometimes he can be played as a striker and in my opinion i think Real Madrid should be bought some of defender players to strengthen their squad because this season they having trouble when some of their defender players were got injured but indeed if Ancelotti want bought more forward players then Serhou Guirassy could be a good name because he is on fire with Stuttgart now and if Real Madrid is really want to buy him Serhou Guirassy has cheap release clause only 17 millions

The only position that Real Madrid will have trouble with next season is the defensive position, but I think they will figure something out because they have a lot of talented boys who can hold the position. Although Real Madrid has players like Rudiger and Militao who can play it, sometimes the players need to take a break. Although Rudiger has played a lot this season and is doing a great job of defending any striker that comes his way, he also needs to take a break from time to time so that the team may occasionally struggle to get injured players.

However, why does Real Madrid not want to use its young players from Castillas like Barcelona did? Real Madrid has many talented players on the team, but they don't use them and instead look for players outside of Castillas. Later, when Real Madrid sells those young players to another team, they develop into stars that are sought after by all teams, and Real Madrid will lose the player. I have seen many former Real Madrid players who are currently playing very well for other teams, and Real Madrid regrets sending them to another team.

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.

I think Cadiz will be relegated this season. They have tough matches against Girona, Barcelona and Real Madrid. I think they will be impossible to win. On the other hand, Celta Vigo will face relatively easy opponents. Their toughest opponent in the remaining matches this season will be against Atletico. Celta Vigo benefits from the remaining fixtures. I think Cadiz, Granada and Almeria will definitely be relegated this season.

[Strongkored]

Valencia will compete against Granada, a team that will be relegated, and Valencia, which is in eighth place in the standings, has quite big odds as the favorite team to win, Valencia @2.30 Granada @3.40 draw @3.10.
Valencia is in a better position but the betting market does not give convincing odds of favorites which is quite reasonable because Valencia this season does not have good statistics when it comes to away games because they only managed to win 3x with 3 draws in 14 matches so even though Granada is not in good conditions still have the opportunity to get at least one point, especially at home Granada's performance is better, and in their last few meetings Valencia had difficulty beating Granada at home to Granada so my prediction is that it will end in a draw with a final score of 1-1.

[klidex]

They need a striker but not just a striker like you said, a player who's always having that hunger for goals  and not a player that's waiting to be fed before getting a goal and if the coach is going to get one I think it would be very hard for any player to join Madrid because there would be much expectations and it will make the attacker to start playing like a grass root player, in the transfer market it would be hard to get one to join Madrid.

Isn't Real Madrid going to bring Kylian Mbappe into the Real Madrid squad at the end of this season? So why does Real Madrid have to look for another striker even though Real Madrid has got Kylian Mbappe for free from PSG and I'm sure this player is also willing to join the best club in Europe to get a new challenge for Mbappe and I also want to see Mbappe become a good striker replacing Real Madrid's best striker Karim Benzema, I know this is not an easy thing for Mbappe because he is in a more competitive league but I am sure that as time goes by Mbappe can become a good striker for Real Madrid because I saw Mbappe's extraordinary abilities when he was there in league 1 with PSG.

In fact, I don't think Real Madrid will look for another striker if Mbappe is there because Real Madrid doesn't want to waste too much money just buying players, even though Real Madrid is very good at recruiting talented players, they are not in too much of a rush especially if Mbappe is already there Real Madrid, this club already has a pure sticker who is hungry for goals, so they only need to hone Mbappe's skills to suit his style of play and Carlo Ancelotti always has many game strategies that suit Real Madrid players.

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.

And with the kind of points that Real Madrid is having, the chances of Madrid winning should be around 90 to 80 percent sure. For the Champions League, I am not that sure about that for Real Madrid because we all have our eyes on the Champions League. Because even last season they threw away their chances of winning the Premier League, I am not that sure about that for Real Madrid because we all have our eyes on the Champions League. because even last season they threw away their chances of winning the Premier League,  and they were so focused on chasing the Premier League that they lost both the Premier League and the Champions League. This time is going to be different since they will win La Liga. Their performance is not that bad this season, and if they were all determined to win the Champions League, they would have been able to win it last season but this season is theirs. I don't think Real Madrid has the energy to win two titles, only Manchester City can do that. For now, nobody can do that. When we play, we can decide who is stronger.

[tusandii]

Girona's performance now is not as good as at the start of the season and it must be admitted that Girona's performance has decreased slightly and this is inversely comparable to Atletico Madrid.
I think Atletico Madrid is a team that has a strong mentality, now they are pressed to win the match in order to finish in the top 4 and I don't doubt that.
This is not to underestimate Girona, but it is realistic that Girona's overall strength is not better than Atletico Madrid.

Comparing between Girona and Atletico Madrid, of course, mentally very different and Atletico Madrid has more mentality that is greater than his experience.
With Girona, we are currently familiar with promised clubs who are lucky to take advantage of opportunities at the beginning of the season to be able to compete at the top of the point table.
Seeing from Girona's late late appearance, I am sure that Atletico Madrid could have replaced Girona and if indeed Girona wants to maintain his position at least the rest of this match must continue to get a victory that will be very difficult to get when he has to fight Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

I don't sure with Atletico Madrid has opportunity for replacing Girona on top forth position standings, first half season match Girona success defeating Atletico Madrid and both team will face each other on game weeks 31 or upcoming match. Current standings, Girona still manage behind 6 points left and if can take three points against Atletico will make Girona more comfortable their 3rd standings position awhile in La Liga and seems easily for qualifying to Champion League.
Its not difficult for Girona getting victory against Atletico Madrid or Barcelona because both teams losses on first half season match, I believe Girona understand well for securing three points against Atletico and Barcelona because want to make more safety for participating in Champion League next season for the first time.

[rendravolt]

Valencia will compete against Granada, a team that will be relegated, and Valencia, which is in eighth place in the standings, has quite big odds as the favorite team to win, Valencia @2.30 Granada @3.40 draw @3.10.
Valencia is in a better position but the betting market does not give convincing odds of favorites which is quite reasonable because Valencia this season does not have good statistics when it comes to away games because they only managed to win 3x with 3 draws in 14 matches so even though Granada is not in good conditions still have the opportunity to get at least one point, especially at home Granada's performance is better, and in their last few meetings Valencia had difficulty beating Granada at home to Granada so my prediction is that it will end in a draw with a final score of 1-1.

These are tempting odds to bet on Valencia and might give you a bit of an adrenaline rush when playing away to Granada. It's clear what the result will be, but I think there are still doubts that Valencia will have difficulties in this match, especially looking at the odds, the difference is actually not that big.

Valencia's previous two matches also ended unsatisfactorily so it is quite doubtful that they will be able to win this match and even though it is almost certain that Granada will not be able to survive in La Liga next season, what is clear in front of the fans is that they will try to survive so as not to be embarrassing. A draw is quite reasonable but I prefer to bet on the BTTS result (Yes) and I hope Granada can bully Valencia by scoring first.

According to Sport, Xavi is seeking specific assurances regarding the club's long-term project from Laporta and the rest of the board. The manager wants a well-chalked-out transfer shortlist with players who can be brought on board keeping in mind the financial issues of the club. He is unwilling to reach out to potential targets just for the sake of it and end up empty-handed.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/xavi-to-make-shock-u-turn-barcelona-manager-seeking-specific-project-guarantees-joan-laporta-push-for-him-stay-on/blt705705140a30811a#cs57d0f74cfadc936a
As I predicted, Xavi's previous announcement about stepping down as coach was a sensation only and he is now changing his mind. Im guessing that if he is now feeling so shameful with his decision to announce his intention at the middle of season to step down as a coach. He is now releasing another statement indicating that he is willing to do a U-turn if Laporta guarantees him another project but we may be waiting for the confirmation from laporta and i strongly believe xavi will not leave from the club. I believe that he made the biggest mistake by announcing his fake resignation as Barcelona coach in the middle of the season which was also making the situation even worst. He is such an inconsistent coach that he should announce it at the end of the season. and it was fucking mistake from him to did it at the middle of season It's fucking bullshit that he'll be doing another U-turn. It feels as if Xavi was just playing with his statement.

Sadly, the media took it seriously and made various news about this. It means that all of the speculation about his departure from Barcelona is completely false and xavi must be feeling ashame with his stupid statement. I don't expect anything from him other than another non sense thing
Xavi may surprise us again, and this time it will be real. Laporta insists that he stays in the club much longer, but Xavi is completely consumed by drama in the club and he was being trigged to announce his fake ann to step down as a coach. Why doesn't Xavi ask Laporta if he wants to stay at the club for longer?

I don't really understand how he was thinking about that. Xavi's inconsistent opinions make him seem like a child.

your statement makes perfect sense if the result in the Granada vs Valencia match will end in a draw because Granada, as a team in the relegation zone, sometimes gives unexpected surprises and even ended in a draw against Barcelona.
maybe that's also the reason why bookmakers favor Valencia with big odds that are a little unconvincing because surprise results can happen.
but logically, if we compare the results of recent matches between Granada and Velencia, of course some bettors will believe that Valencia will still beat Granada because in the last 5 matches Granada has been very bad while Valencia has had slightly better results.
as a bettor and trying to speculate, I will take this risk betting on Valencia winning.

I don't think Atletico Madrid's main target is to finish the season at the third position now honestly. Their target must be secure themselves in top four. Because it is really in danger you know. 

While Athletic Bilbao are right behind by only two points every single point is important for both teams. Atletico Madrid are going to have one of the toughest games in the season next time. Girona already beat them home before. Simeone will need to get prepared for them better this time. It is such a tough game to predict on one hand because of the Champions League games they are going to play as well. I assume I will give Atletico Madrid win a chance here.

The meeting between Atletico Madrid and Girona in the coming week is a difficult match for both Atletico Madrid and Girona, because they also definitely want to beat each other, especially Atletico Madrid who will definitely go all out in order to maintain the top 4 position they currently occupy. Because if they lose this match, then they will most likely be pushed back by Atletico Bilbao, who are currently only 2 points away from them, so winning is something they must get to be able to maintain their current position.
I agree with you that it is very difficult for Atletico Madrid to overtake Girona, even though they won this match their point gap is still 4 points, and Girona themselves will not just give points to Atletico Madrid just like that.

[Dzwaafu11]

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.

Yes, actually, there is no way Barcelona and Girona will beat Real Madrid to get the title this season because Real Madrid are very strong this season and they have already taken over the La Liga table for the past few weeks, so they won’t want any other team to come and take over the position again. More over, they know if any team gets that position for them to go back, it will be a very difficult thing to achieve.

However, it's not even about them. They don’t know what will happen next season, even if they will still be performing well. They won’t misuse this golden opportunity; they just have to top the table. They will do everything in their power to get the title if possible, both in the La Liga and the Champions League. They will fight for it, but Manchester City are tough opponents for Real Madrid in the Champions League, which is why they need to focus more on 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.

Girona deformed since they got defeated by Real Madrid, and this surprised me that Barcelona took over. I was thinking that whatever it was bad for them, they would make sure they got the second position, but they failed to do that, so now, currently, I don’t even know if Girona are going to end the season in the top 3 because their performance is going, which I think is even getting worse because there has not been any motivation in them again. It just looks as if Real Madrid defeat makes them weak.

Exactly, Atletico Madrid should be more focus on maintaining their position on the table, rather than thinking that they can overtake Girona who is 7 points ahead of them, because it will be a difficult task for them. Atletico is playing in the Champions League, and that is also a big competition that they need to focus on. Perhaps, if Girona should play the way they played in the first leg against Atletico Madrid, there is possibility that they would win the match. However, Girona drop form, amd they have issues maintaining their consistency, which led to Barcelona bringing them down from the second position on the table. This is should an advantage for Atletico Madrid to win the match, due to Girona inconsistencies, and their 4th position is also at stake if they allow Girona to win them the second time. Since Bilbao will not lose their next match.

Girona's victory in their first meeting this season against Atletico, does not mean a promise of victory for Girona in their secondmeeting this season against Atletico. After all, recently the reality is that Girona has experienced bad results so that Girona has also been overtaken by Barcelona and thus, there is no guarantee for Girona to beat Atletico in thismatch. After all, Atletico will of course also try to take revenge and at the same time to create a better points gap with Bilbao. Therefore, Atletico's target at this moment is to stay away from Bilbao's pursuit because of course, Bilbao really is a threat at this moment in the race for the top four positions.

[hyudien]

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.

Girona's performance now is not as good as at the start of the season and it must be admitted that Girona's performance has decreased slightly and this is inversely comparable to Atletico Madrid.
I think Atletico Madrid is a team that has a strong mentality, now they are pressed to win the match in order to finish in the top 4 and I don't doubt that.
This is not to underestimate Girona, but it is realistic that Girona's overall strength is not better than Atletico Madrid.

In this match, Atletico Madrid also really needs 3 points, because it is still not safe if you look at the difference with Bilbao. Therefore there is only one opportunity to widen the distance by conquering Girona. Armed with the mentality of the Atletico Madrid players hoping to give Girona a serious threat, Michel troops could already run out of fuel towards the end of the season. Even though they cannot catch Girona position, at least rank 4 must be maintained until the end of the season. So far Atletico Madrid is having a good season in the UCL. They also have the task of beating Dortmund in Leg 1, the schedule is not too big because after that they will play Girona to solidify their position in La Liga.

[wmaurik]

I think Cadiz will be relegated this season. They have tough matches against Girona, Barcelona and Real Madrid. I think they will be impossible to win. On the other hand, Celta Vigo will face relatively easy opponents. Their toughest opponent in the remaining matches this season will be against Atletico. Celta Vigo benefits from the remaining fixtures. I think Cadiz, Granada and Almeria will definitely be relegated this season.

If you look at the tough matches that Cadiz will face, it is very unlikely that Cadiz will not be relegated this season. Because Cadiz apart from having to win to have more points than Celta Vigo, the Cadiz team also has to hope that Celta Vigo loses the remaining match because both of them are now still three points away, where Celta Vigo is in a safer position than Cadiz. So I also think that Cadiz will have a harder time keeping themselves in La Liga next season.
