La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[W Jr.]

Atletico Madrid managed to defeat Celta Vigo at home with a single goal.With this win, we can say that 4th place is now guaranteed for Atletico Madrid.Although Celta Vigo may be relegated, I don't think they will be relegated.
Valencia drew with Rayo Vallecano without a goal. Neither of the 2 teams played very well and we watched a match that was weak in terms of goal positions.In this kind of matches, since the teams don't have much purpose anymore, they want to finish the match as a formality by passing the ball for 90 minutes.

Over the weekend, Atletico Madrid were able to grab an important win over struggling Celta Vigo to extend their points difference ahead of fifth placed Athletic Bilbao to 8 points but because the two clubs are going to play three more league games before the end of the current Spanish La Liga campaign, Atletico Madrid have not mathematically secured thr fourth position in the Spanish league standings. Their opponents Celta Vigo used to be one of the best performing Spanish clubs over the years but have been struggling since the start of the season.
With five points ahead of 18th place Cadiz and three more matches to play, I think Celta Vigo are surely not going to be relegated to the second division of the Spanish league this season.

Considering that Celta is ahead of Cadiz and there is a 5-point difference, I think Celta will not be relegated to the lower league. It is almost certain that Celta remains in the league. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, has secured the fourth place and may even rise to the third place. It depends on Barcelona's performance. Generally speaking, I think the league will be finished almost in these places.

The narrow victory achieved by Atletico Madrid in this match was enough to bring them to 3 points, but they no longer seem to have the motivation to win by a large amount, because they are also safely in 4th place in the standings, and they also seem to be better off. focus on preparing for next season. Atletico Madrid performed below the performance they usually showed in previous seasons, there is a decline in the performance they showed this season.

Atletico Madrid must be even better next season, they must be able to compete again as before, where they can always provide very tight competition in the race to become La Liga champions. Now that they are not showing that, it looks like they will have to look for fresher players to fill some of their weaknesses this season. In my opinion, they also need to immediately regenerate, because other clubs have started doing it a long time ago, like Real Madrid for example.

[Fausto Arta]

This is the importance of squad depth, between the main players and reserve players their abilities are almost the same. I agree with your thoughts, actually Ancelotti can play the main or reserve players for a match. And Ancelotti doesn't need to worry if a main player is injured, because their substitute players are very ready if needed. Maybe in the remaining LaLiga matches Don Carlo will use a reserve player to face his opponent.

The ability of reserve players who almost match the quality of the main players will provide competition in the main squad, each player will be required to always perform optimally if they don't want to lose their position in the main line up. The presence of quality reserve players can provide balance in the squad, when the main players cannot be played for whatever reason, the reserve players can be relied on and leave no holes when given the trust to play.
Real Madrid success this season is because they have a squad depth that is almost evenly distributed between core players and reserve players. They have succeeded in winning the La Liga title in Week 34 due to always appearing consistently. Reserve players are starting to be trusted to play from the first minute because there are no longer any targets being hunted in La Liga. Reserve players must take advantage of this opportunity to gain the coach's trust so that they will be given more playing minutes next season.

It looks like in the remaining matches this season, all Real Madrid reserve players will get additional playing minutes. This is very good for increasing experience, especially for young players in El Real's reserve squad. They must be able to gain the trust of the coach, and they must be physically and mentally ready when one of the main players is absent. This rotation is also needed so that the coach can assess which players can be retained in the team for next season.

Barcelona is the team in dare need of this win so they can be able to probably get back to the second position in the table as the top team they are because for them finishing anything below the second position is like an error to them and so they just have to make sure they finish at the second spot moreover they have worked really hard for it and getting displaced especially by a weak team is really sadden, I think Barcelona has in a way have what it takes to winning this game and making sure they get to maintain the second position on the table as that will keep their psychology strong enough for next season

Real socidad will just have to try their best but may actually not be able to stop the swift attacking force of Barcelona that's filled with you see players except they get to strengthen their defense so much that it becomes difficult to penetrate but then they will have to be ware of yamal and raphinha as these two guys will use their wings well to cause serious damage to socidad except they will be on the bench.

I also doubt that Real Sociedad will be able to beat Barcelona in that match. Because from any point of view, Barcelona will still be the favorite. These two teams, namely Barcelona and Real Sociedad, really need full points from this match. Like Real Sociedad who needs points to move up to 6th place and Barcelona needs full points to return to second place. So this match will definitely run with quite high tension. And that will make this match more aggressive than usual and I think that will be very exciting to see. Real Sociedad must be able to create a strong defense if they want to withstand every fast attack made by the Barcelona players. And of course, in this match, Barcelona will immediately play their main players from the start.

[Catenaccio]

It looks like in the remaining matches this season, all Real Madrid reserve players will get additional playing minutes. This is very good for increasing experience, especially for young players in El Real's reserve squad. They must be able to gain the trust of the coach, and they must be physically and mentally ready when one of the main players is absent. This rotation is also needed so that the coach can assess which players can be retained in the team for next season.

Real Madrid have nothing more to do in La Liga because they are already a champion in this season. In addition, they have one big match ahead, Champions League final match which is more important than any of three remaining matches in La Liga.

They can reserve best players for Champions League final matches and use three remaining matches as given chances to their substitution players and youth players to play and grow them up. Even just three matches, it's good chance for these players to enjoy actual matches and it's good preparation of Real Madrid for future of their squad too.

The narrow victory achieved by Atletico Madrid in this match was enough to bring them to 3 points, but they no longer seem to have the motivation to win by a large amount, because they are also safely in 4th place in the standings, and they also seem to be better off. focus on preparing for next season. Atletico Madrid performed below the performance they usually showed in previous seasons, there is a decline in the performance they showed this season.

Three points from this match even it is not easy, is important for Atletico Madrid because they have 8-point against Bilbao when La Liga has only 3 more match days. They need to win only one more match in three remaining matches to be eligible for Champions League next season with a fourth position in La Liga.

There is nearly no chance for Bilbao to beat Atletico Madrid and take over the fourth position, gap between two clubs is big and there are no many remaining matches for them to achieve that position.

And Ancelotti doesn't need to worry if a main player is injured, because their substitute players are very ready if needed. Maybe in the remaining LaLiga matches Don Carlo will use a reserve player to face his opponent.

That's how it is when a great coach trains a team because Ancelotti knows that every player is as important as the main players and the reserve players. So when times like now come, the main players have to be looked after more to stay fit for more important matches. That's when reserve players will be used more for the remaining matches in domestic competitions such as La Liga, because on the one hand Real Madrid have also won La Liga this season and only have to hunt for one more prestigious title this season.

No one doubts Carlo Ancelotti's ability to formulate strategies for his team. He also succeeded in honing the players' abilities according to their positions and duties so that the core players and reserve players could complement each other. When the main players are rested due to something, the reserve players can fill the positions and carry out the tasks left behind. Something that is rare in other teams, the depth of the Real Madrid squad deserves to be appreciated.

Over the weekend, Atletico Madrid were able to grab an important win over struggling Celta Vigo to extend their points difference ahead of fifth placed Athletic Bilbao to 8 points but because the two clubs are going to play three more league games before the end of the current Spanish La Liga campaign, Atletico Madrid have not mathematically secured thr fourth position in the Spanish league standings. Their opponents Celta Vigo used to be one of the best performing Spanish clubs over the years but have been struggling since the start of the season.
With five points ahead of 18th place Cadiz and three more matches to play, I think Celta Vigo are surely not going to be relegated to the second division of the Spanish league this season.

Considering that Celta is ahead of Cadiz and there is a 5-point difference, I think Celta will not be relegated to the lower league. It is almost certain that Celta remains in the league. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, has secured the fourth place and may even rise to the third place. It depends on Barcelona's performance. Generally speaking, I think the league will be finished almost in these places.

Celta still has very good chance of being able to climb two places higher if in the remaining matches they are able to show their best performance and can win overall.
Celta is still safe and they just need to be more careful in every match so as not to make mistakes, but actually just one defeat won't make difference considering the difference from Cadiz is 5 points.

For Atletico Madrid, finishing in the top 3 can still be achieved if they manage to finish all their matches with wins, otherwise they will only stay in the top 4.
Barcelona itself is not really stable team, they will face Real Sociedad and this match is indeed home match for Barcelona but it does not rule out the possibility that Real Sociedad will give surprise.
They cannot take Real Sociedad for granted.

I agree with your opinion, Real Madrid has won the La Liga title this season. They dared to field reserve players in the remaining La Liga matches. This is an opportunity for reserve players to become more experienced and to increase playing minutes. Madrid's reserve players must use this opportunity to gain the coach's trust next season. Perez will not hesitate to sell players who do not contribute enough to the club.

[Luzin]

When the main players are rested due to something, the reserve players can fill the positions and carry out the tasks left behind. Something that is rare in other teams, the depth of the Real Madrid squad deserves to be appreciated.

Congratulations Madrid, it's the 36th league title.

Honestly when I started this league I was hesitant because of injuries to players. I don't think they can compete with Barcelona or Atletico. So I'm pessimistic they can win. Sadly, the Madrid players who got injured were Ancelotti's first-choice players. But Madrid is lucky, many Madrid players are able to play more than 1 position. So that they can close each other's empty positions. Belingham's arrival was also very influential, he immediately adapted well. I am waiting for Guller to play full time with Mbaape next season, on social media it is widely circulated that he has been in Madrid for medical tests.

It looks like in the remaining matches this season, all Real Madrid reserve players will get additional playing minutes. This is very good for increasing experience, especially for young players in El Real's reserve squad. They must be able to gain the trust of the coach, and they must be physically and mentally ready when one of the main players is absent. This rotation is also needed so that the coach can assess which players can be retained in the team for next season.

Well with 3 remaining matches under their belt Ancelotti has time to give them the opportunity to enjoy the rest of the season, considering that the main squad needs to focus on preparing against Dortmund. This rotation also has a positive impact on increasing the confidence of second-tier players who have been on the bench for a long time. Next season I guarantee that Real Madrid will have a tier 2 squad that is no less great than the main squad. The hope is that in the last 3 matches we can see Diaz, Arda, Fran Garcia and several players from Real Madrid Castilla. Against Alaves, Villa Real and Real Betis is no longer about winning 3 points but about growing the players self-confidence so that they can show cooperation with each other like the main squad.

[Roseline492]

Bilbao has very little chance of catching up with Atletico Madrid because there are only 3 remaining matches and perhaps Atletico Madrid will not let Bilbao overtake them. Of course, Atletico Madrid position in the standings is quite safe in the top 4 and Bilbao seems to want to secure 5th place as a step towards being able to participate in the European league next season.

Exactly, currently there are only 3 remaining matches left. Meanwhile, the difference in points between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid is 8. I am not sure if Atletico Madrid will lose in a row in the last 3 matches. For Atletico Madrid's position, it looks like it will still be like that. Or maybe the opportunity to be much closer to Barcelona's position. Just waiting to see whether Barcelona can win against Real Sociedad or not.

Yeah is a big margin for Bilbao to meet up with the kind of points Atletico Madrid has and even if they both have ten match remaining Bilbao will still not be able to meet up because one thing we most know is that Atletico Madrid is not a weak team and they have been performing very well on this season and besides if Bilbao was to compete with them they would have actually done it a earlier before now so if perhaps they could not do it when there is time is it now they have few matches to the end of the season?, however there is a good chance for Atletico Madrid getting to the third position because right now if they win all there remaining matches and Barcelona lose one and draw one then there plan will work.

Taking into account the fact that both Barcelona and Atlético are in a systemic crisis, the next season will be more boring than interesting. The only thing that could make it intriguing is if Girona continues to displace Atlético and Barcelona from the top 2.
As for Real, I’m sure they will take the next title without any problems and the whole question of the success of the season will be decided in the Champions League. It will also be interesting to see if Mbappe can rise to the level of performance of Ronaldo/Messi.

[Furious 7]

Considering that Celta is ahead of Cadiz and there is a 5-point difference, I think Celta will not be relegated to the lower league. It is almost certain that Celta remains in the league. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, has secured the fourth place and may even rise to the third place. It depends on Barcelona's performance. Generally speaking, I think the league will be finished almost in these places.

I don't think so. Currently, Celta Vigo's chance can also still be relegated because of the difference of 5 points from Cadiz now.

Indeed, for now the advantage is still owned by Celta Vigo because of the 5-point gap they have but in the end we also have to take into account the remaining 3 matches and who these two clubs will play against.
The remaining 3 matches for Celta at the moment they will face Atletico Madrid and Bilbao which we know that these two clubs in the current season they are quite stable and even allow them to be in the Champions League and Europa League next season so this will not be an easy thing to get points for Celta.
While Cadiz they will face an easier match where Sevilla, Las Palmas and Almeria are the last 3 opponents they have to face.

Seeing this condition if in the end Celta Vigo loses 2 matches and Cadiz wins then the situation becomes reversed in the end so the opportunity is clearly still there for now for Cadiz to stay in La Liga.

[Strongkored]

Barcelona will compete against Real Sociedad as the host, Real Sociedad will replace Real Betis if they can win over Barcelona, especially this season Barcelona is not very good in home matches because they suffered 3 defeats and the last one was against Girona and that was a crushing defeat.
Barcelona is already safe for a position in the top four but at the end of the season only being in third place and being below Girona is certainly not a pleasant thing for them who are the defending champions, so this will still be an important match for Barcelona, and Real Sociedad's target is to be able to overtake Real Betis probably won't happen because Barcelona will continue to play aggressively and come out with full strength to win, my predictions the scores is 2-1 for home team.

[Palakka]

As for Real, I’m sure they will take the next title without any problems and the whole question of the success of the season will be decided in the Champions League. It will also be interesting to see if Mbappe can rise to the level of performance of Ronaldo/Messi.

I think next season the La Liga competition will be tighter, when currently Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will play in the Champions League next season of course they will improve the squad by bringing in new players, now even reportedly Barcelona are starting to look for players who are considered worthy to fill Barcelona line-up next season so most likely Xavi will still make Barcelona a title contender with Madrid and also maybe Girona,  So far we can see the most active in building the squad is Madrid but I think we also can't be too quick to eliminate Barcelona, Girona and also Atletico Madrid in the title race.

Next season I just want to see how girona can maintain their performance, because this season they performed quite well and consistently even though they did have to lose the championship opportunity towards the end of the season, but maybe we will see girona is also no different from other debutant teams who were only able to surprise us in their first season but returned to being a mediocrity team in the next season,  But somehow I'm sure that Girona might return as title contenders next season if they are able to maintain their current squad.

[hahay]

Barcelona will compete against Real Sociedad as the host, Real Sociedad will replace Real Betis if they can win over Barcelona, especially this season Barcelona is not very good in home matches because they suffered 3 defeats and the last one was against Girona and that was a crushing defeat.
Barcelona is already safe for a position in the top four but at the end of the season only being in third place and being below Girona is certainly not a pleasant thing for them who are the defending champions, so this will still be an important match for Barcelona, and Real Sociedad's target is to be able to overtake Real Betis probably won't happen because Barcelona will continue to play aggressively and come out with full strength to win, my predictions the scores is 2-1 for home team.

Basically this will be an important match for Barcelona and also Real Sociedad because after all, even though their positions are safe in third and seventh positions. But still, the fact is that Barcelona still has the opportunity to overtake Girona in second place and also, Real Sociedad still has the opportunity to overtake Betis in sixth position. Obviously, for Real Sociedad this is a goodmoment to be able to overtake Betis because after all, if Real Sociedad manages to overtake Betis then Real Sociedad is in the Europa League zone. With these factors,then I believe this match will run tough and maybe, a draw could happen because to predict the team that wins in this match I think both teams have an equally good chance of winning.

[tusandii]

Real Madrid rested their key players and used their B-team to thrashed Granada 4 nil. It's entertaining and interesting to see second XI handling their opponents as if they were on the same level. On the records, Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want to hear stories because the UEFA Champions League mean alot to him and his reputation as headcoach for Real Madrid. They've significant odds of winning the UCL title this season but it doesn't pose the fact that they should underestimate Borrusia Dortmund that will also travel to Wembley to face them. Edin Terzic have brought his team this far and giving up is not an option for them.

Carlo Ancelotti saw that the team from Granada was an easy team to beat so Real Madrid fielded the second great players they had. Let the main players rest and prepare their stamina to compete against a tougher team. Real Madrid sees Borrusia Dortmund as one of the teams with many great players there, so they chose to keep their main players so that their stamina can increase again to face Borrussia Dortmund directly.

Anceloti's decision to rest his main players was a very good decision because that is how it should be, Madrid just needs to play relaxed for the remaining matches in La Liga and even losing will not have any effect on him winning the La Liga title even if Madrid plays the second mainstay of the players. They also have a pretty good performance against lower level clubs like Granada, this club is the weakest club in the league.

Against Borussia Dortmund is not an easy opponent for Madrid, Borussia Dortmund has great players, even before Madrid bought players from Dortmund last season and we know how the players that Madrid recruited performed, and we will see how Bellingham beats the club he once played for later whether he able to score a goal against Dortmund I haven't seen Bellingham score a goal in several matches in the UCL.

[temple]

Having a competition between two teams that peak like Barcelona and Madrid did when Messi and Ronaldo were there, is probably a specialty that happens only so often in a lifetime. As you said once you saw these games for years and years, it is almost as you get spoiled for everything that's to come when all these superstars are gone. The clasico from today is not the clasico from back then. But I think that there was also a special atmosphere in this particular game that made it the most followed club game in the world. When Manchester City and Liverpool play against each other, those are top teams, but it is not the same. Wondering if we get to see something similar in club football. It's right, putting everything aside and switch the TV on to see the clasico - that is how it was back at the time.

I think most stars have gone from Barcelona which are not replaced as they should have with other good players while Real Madrid has changed their superstars with great other players which are giving to Real that edge not only in La Liga where they have already won it several weeks ago but also they were capable to beat Manchester City in the Champions League which is no small feat nowadays,they are in the final of the Champions also with huge percentage of chances to win that trophy too.As for the El Classico it is not the same when between the two teams there is a huge difference in players quality,of course it would not be as beautiful as it was when both teams had their glorious times.

Yes I think that's how it all is. Real Madrid also took risks or let's say Ancelotti with establishing younger players. But it worked all out. Real Madrid next to Manchester City are brutally balanced teams in terms of experience, ratio from young to old, essentially 100% of the players at world class quality. It's amazing how Real Madrid did. Bellingham plays like a 28 years old guy who won. the Champions League four times. Vinicius Junior, Camavinga, the list is insane. They have a bright future ahead of them and in Barcelona it seems as if they have to solve problems all the time.

As for the Clasico, I think that it can't be denied the Ronaldo - Messi rivalry was at least 30% of it. It was different, it was on another level. Having these two guys compete in a Clasico? A dream that will probably never come true again.

One thing that I admire in Ancelotti is his ability to manage the players to play different wings even when some key players are on injury, it does not bother him at all. This is what makes a coach great because he does not depend solely on one or two players to win matches, in which if those players are not fit, it will be impossible for them to win matches. A lot of clubs are like that even Manchester city cannot do without some key players.

We might still see great players like them in the future or are you saying that these will be the only two rivals we will have ever, I doubt it. This is because the new generations will do greater things than this our generation. Though, El Classico is not as interesting now compare to then during the time of these two great legends.

I am waiting for Guller to play full time with Mbaape next season, on social media it is widely circulated that he has been in Madrid for medical tests.

One major factor in Real Madrid league success this season is Ancellotti. They stuck gold with that man. If you recall, Vinicius was never this good before Ancellotti arrived at Madrid. Ancellotti transformed him into a different player and today he's one among the top 3 best winger in Europe. That's incredible.
Same thing Ancellotti did with Bellingham. He used him to perfection. In midfield, Bellingham is the the most technical midfielders, but Ancellotti used him as a false 9 and it worked perfectly for real Madrid. He was able to score goals that secured Madrid the league. That shows a man that's very good at what he does. I've heard stories of his top notch man man management and I think those stories are true.

Next season with the inclusion of Mbappe, Madrid are going to be a more ruthless side. Mbappe would take the number 9 position of course because I don't believe Ancellotti will keep Vini on then bench, he's too good for that. With Vini and Mbappe upfront, the midfield just need to be creative enough and they would have a good season.
