La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Lannakosa]

Barcelona obtained the whole three points but that performance was not satisfactory to be serious. Real Sociedad outplayed them particularly in the first half of the game. It they were a strong team with experience, they would have beaten Barcelona. It's surprising how the iconic Barcelona team that we know end up with average players with no pattern of playing, they now play base on guess work and each individual quality. The forwarders apart from Lewa are not dangerous in front of goal post. Football is not just about making good passes, they have to be deadly upfront. Not only in this game but also in the previous games, they make poor decisions in the final third of the pitch. They are supposed to win this match with no less than four goals if they were clinical enough to make use of their chances.

Despite their win, it's necessary to point out Xavi errors in his management because he's on the verge of destroying this prestigious club with his favoritism in players selection. He has no tactics and yet he favor Spanish players when making selection. This season is not good enough for them but it might be worse next season if he continues like this.

It wasn't Barcelona's best game, but Xavi's recent games have been difficult and they were lucky to regain second place. But if Xavi wants to make the team stronger, he will have to work very hard in the transfer market in the summer. And he should learn to accept criticism as part of his job, because the team has different times, there are downturns and in such periods they will blame him, he need to be prepared for this. But in order to compete with such a Real you need to try very hard, and spend a lot of money, and in Barcelona there are still big problems with this.

It's actually funny how a loss that ruin a club season. Barcelona were in very good form before they lost to Paris in the Champions League. They had beaten Atletico Madrid and gained confidence. The loss against Paris broke their spirit and they went back to the default setting. My bet was on Real Sociedad to win or draw yesterday, I lost the bet but the inconsistency of Barcelona made me make that bet.

The season is already over and Barcelona have a lot of work to do. They need to offload a lot of players to make space for new ones. They need quality players. Contrary to popular belief, I don't believe you have to break the bank to get quality players. Just two big signings and proper scouting can reinforce a team like Barcelona. The club needs to work harder in that regard. Scout the whole of Europe and South American players that are good and can fit into their system. They need a world-class DM and two wingers, plus a world-class midfielder. If they get these players and the coach does his job, they should be able to compete next season.

The Real Sociedad team performed well, but by no means succeeded. The attacks in the beginning and middle of this game were very fierce but the defenders and goalkeepers were very experienced and the Barcelona team won this match. The Real Sociedad player was celebrating by shooting the ball but was shocked to see the ball go off the goal post and out of the field. One of the most surprising and sad events of this match was how the Real Sociedad team got injured, and even though they were the best in attack, they didn't win because of luck.

yeah, Real Sociedad often causes trouble for big teams in La Liga, but this time they are unlucky. Barcelona won convincingly over Real Sociedad and held on to second place. Although Barcelona is no longer in the title race, they are now competing for second place. After their loss to Girona last week, they bounced back with goals from Yamal and Raphinha. Raphinha had a fantastic game today. Let's see if Barcelona can maintain their second position.

[rendravolt]

Congratulations on the victory obtained by Barcelona and finally they regained second place in the standings from Girona thanks to a 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad. Actually, it's not surprising that Barcelona won considering that Real Sociedad this season has dropped drastically in terms of performance, so Barcelona really deserved this victory.

On the other hand, Barcelona must maintain its positive trend this time regardless of how they go this season without a title so at least they must not make things worse and must target second place in the standings. They have certainly learned their lesson from their failures this season and will compete again next season with Real Madrid.

In other news, in last night's match, Vitor Roque again did not get playing minutes and maybe for those who don't know, Vitor Roque will start being offered to other clubs this summer due to the lack of playing minutes at Barcelona and this has been confirmed directly by various sources.

Yes, as you said, Sociedad is a team that sometimes makes things difficult for opponents, that's why Barcelona played very carefully and didn't take them lightly, even though in the end Barcelona won with two goals, it shows a very consistent game by Barcelona, because they had to maintained the runner up position from Girona and succeeded in overthrowing them, currently Barcelona is in second place even though in the end Barcelona and Girona still get UCL tickets next season, Barcelona's victory cannot be denied that Xavi does not want his team to continue to decline.

xavi must be able to finish the remaining matches at the end of this season well, that's why they have to win against Sociedad, whatever it is, they continue to play better than Sociedad so that in the end they managed to pocket the full three points besides Girona, who only played with a draw, making Barcelona again in the top spot. currently in second place in the standings, maybe for them the competition as runner up is very important but for me it is not that important, the competition between the two is quite tight but in my opinion Barcelona is more worthy than Girona to be runner up.

As usual in every Barcelona match, Lamine Yamal is the backbone of the club, at his young age he continues to have the burden of bringing this club to victory. I think Barcelona is not as bad as we think, after all they just didn't win a trophy this season, but that doesn't mean we have to judge this club as bad as a whole. Next season, the injection of funds from Nike will be a large amount of capital to be utilized in buying players. Regardless some poor performance is common. Maybe the reason Barcelona continues to be criticized is because its position is no longer able to compete with Madrid, but now has to be busy with Girona.

[HajiBagi]

Another day for Real Madrid to exercise their muscle on a weaker team, their typical action of oppressor. I'm expecting them to win Deportivo Alaves without much resistance even though they are not compelled to do that as the league is already settled. Such wins might just be to maintain their playing pattern and as a training for the final between Borussia Dortmund.

Another winning game for Real Madrid today, although winning is not an important because Real Madrid have won the league title but winning the game will make the fans and also the players happy and make them feel good for playing the next matches most especially the champion league final against Dortmund, Real Madrid needs to put more effort on this match because Daportivo Alaves are one kind of team that is very strong when they are performing against big teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, in their first match against Real Madrid this season it was very thought because they were playing in their stadium and that makes them feel good to not allow Real Madrid to score a goal in time but at the end of the game Real Madrid find a way to score a goal in the match and the match end 1:0, so in this second match of the season Real Madrid need to put pressure on Daportivo Alaves to win them with two or three goals.

It's true, this match may not be the best match for Barcelona, but it is important to remember that every team experiences very difficult times. The second position achieved was the result of hard work, despite facing tough challenges. In my opinion, Xavi has shown quite good potential and has fought as hard as he can to reach that point. It is true that he must be able to make good use of the summer transfer market to choose the players he really needs to strengthen his team. Maybe it will be a little difficult for Xavi to choose the good players he needs, because of the financial problems that are occurring at Barcelona, so it will be very difficult for him to compete with Real in the future because of these problems.

I think playing second tier players is a good thing for Real Madrid to do, considering that they have to be really fit when the Champions League Final starts, because playing the main players is very worrying and there is a fear of fatigue or injury which might occur. , we know that the League competition has ended and Real Madrid came out as champions, so there's no harm in giving flying hours to second-tier players and their young players, at least they deserve those flying hours, because it will be much more economical and not draining. the energy of the main players at least gives them a break or a vacation.

One of the most surprising and sad events of this match was how the Real Sociedad team got injured, and even though they were the best in attack, they didn't win because of luck.

Barcelona does not want to lose any more matches because they want to remain in second place in the league standings, and if Girona loses any point today, they will have the potential to preserve that position. Real Sociedad does not have much luck in matches, but they play well on the pitch. Xavi is attempting to correct his mistakes, and I believe he is doing well, but he disappoints the supporters by failing to help them win a single championship this season. The league has not yet finished, and I believe Real Sociedad has a possibility to qualify for the Europa League competition next season if Real Betis loses any games before the season ends. since they still have a battle against each other this weekend, And anyone who wins can qualify for Europa League next season if the season ends without losing any games against other clubs, but it will be difficult because Real Betis is playing against Madrid next week, and Real Sociedad is also playing Atletico Madrid, and no one knows if sociedad or Real Betis will win. Anyone knows that Real Sociedad performs well against Barcelona, but they don't have the luck to score and obtain three points in the game; Barcelona plays at Camp Nou, and they don't like losing at home, and I was impressed by Barcelona's match yesterday.

Another day for Real Madrid to exercise their muscle on a weaker team, their typical action of oppressor. I'm expecting them to win Deportivo Alaves without much resistance even though they are not compelled to do that as the league is already settled. Such wins might just be to maintain their playing pattern and as a training for the final between Borussia Dortmund.

As usual, I will drop a bet of over 3.5, a high probability bet which I hope to combine with Tottenham against Manchester City.  Even if Manchester City wins Tottenham today, the later will definitely score at least a goal.

Real Madrid is playing at home, and they will not try to lose at home. I am confident that Madrid will win the match, even if the match does not favour them. I am confident that Ancelotti has young talent players, and even if the key players are not present, they will still perform on the pitch. Let us see how many goals Madrid will score in today's game or if they keep a clean sheet. Manchester City's match against Tottenham cannot be predicted since Manchester City has no luck against Tottenham, and I believe they will play a tie in the first leg. If Manchester City does not win today, I am confident that Artete will be the new league champions this season. I can't play Man City and Tottenham games. because the game can end draw is better i play madrid game then betting on city vs tottenham match because the match can be tough he don't mean because chelsea and liverpool that are not in real form anymore get luck against tottenham, man-city will still get luck too let see how the game will end tonight.because i want arsenal to win the tittle this time not man-city again.

Real Madrid has just had a successful week. They were officially crowned La Liga champions. Real Madrid's matches in La Liga no longer have much meaning. Therefore, this will be an opportunity for the team's reserve players and young players to perform. With impressive squad depth, Real is still performing extremely impressively despite lacking key players. You don't need to guess, let's take Granada as an example when they just suffered a 0-4 defeat against a squad consisting mostly of Real Madrid's reserve players. Plus with home-field advantage and stable performance, Real Madrid is confident of winning all 3 points in the match against Alaves. This could even be a clear victory for the home team. I just advise Alaves not to underestimate Real Madrid's reserve squad.

[Gallar]

What surprise, Barcelona won over Real Sociedad with score of 2 - 0 and this victory gave Barcelona second place in the standings after saving the full 3 points and surpassing Girona points tally by 1 point.
Lamine Yamal, young Barcelona player, created the first goals for Barcelona advantage and he was the highlight of this match, in the second half when added time there was also handball for Real Sociedad player and gave Barcelona penalty which turned into goals.
These 2 goals allowed Barcelona to get the full 3 points, I think Barcelona will have difficulty in this match because Real Sociedad is also not weak team, but it turns out they managed to achieve victory.

3 matches remain for this season and we will see Barcelona competition in maintaining second place with Girona who is only 1 point behind, if Barcelona can finish the 3 matches with an overall win then they will be runners-up.

In my opinion, it is not too surprising if Barcelona was able to win against Sociedad in this match, because if you look at the players' performance and head to head, the result is that Barcelona is far superior to Sociedad. So, if for example Barcelona's performance is in very fit condition, Barcelona can definitely score more than 2 goals in this match. But even so, I am very happy that Barcelona can return to second place in Laliga for a while. The reason is that with a very narrow point difference with Girona, the possibility of Barcelona returning to 3rd place is very large. So basically Barcelona is currently not at a safe point in second place in La Liga. Because tonight Girona is scheduled to face Vilareal, and if for example Girona wins this match, Barcelona's position will definitely be shifted back to 3rd place. And my prediction is that Girona can definitely win tonight's match. The reason is that if you look at the last meeting between Girona and Vilareal, the result was won by Girona. So in this match I am very confident that Girona will definitely be able to win again and climb back to 2nd place in the LaLiga standings.

At this time Madrid no longer need points in the league so fielding a reserve squad is certainly the right choice for Ancelotti, so far Ancelotti has exerted the all energy of the main players in every crucial game they face and of course giving them rest time will certainly make them fit enough and have a good performance to face the Champions League final later,  For now the Champions League final is the only important game they have and Ancelotti should focus that the match from now on, Dortmund have quality and performance below them but still the final match will make Dortmund to give everything they can to make things difficult for Madrid.

Player injuries must of course be avoided by Ancelotti at this time, because after all, Dortmund is not a team that Madrid will easily face if they are limping later, so indeed to anticipate unwanted things, of course Ancelotti must save their main players in the remaining La Liga games this season, what you said is true,  Because it is better for Ancelotti to give the opportunity to their young players or reserves to be able to prove the quality they have, besides that I think now is the right time for Ancelotti to experiment tactics and game strategies.

There's no reason for Real Madrid not to win their away match, Granada have lost their motivation to play because they are certain to play in La Liga 2 next season. Look at those who score goals for Real Madrid, they're not regular Real Madrid players, maybe they prepare their important players for bigger events such as the UCL so that these important players are ready.

Real Madrid is a strong team and a fearsome name for any opponent, so be it playing at Real Madrid's home ground or playing at another team's home ground, there is always Real Madrid favourite. There are a few teams in Europe that Real Madrid might have to struggle against, but apart from a certain number of teams, Real Madrid doesn't have to work that hard to win against them. Ahead is the final match of the Champions League where Real Madrid and Dortmund face each other. 

Although the match is the final match of the Champions League, the chances of Real Madrid winning this match are very high and this match is relatively easy match for Real Madrid.

The most reasonable reason is because Real Madrid played without any burden while on the other hand Granada played with frustration because they knew that whatever efforts they made would not be able to keep them in La Liga next season. It's quite unfortunate, even though Granada just got promoted last season and have to play again in La Liga 2.

Early June is the agenda for Real Madrid's UCL final, I've looked at the betting market and see that Real Madrid is very much favored in the 1X2 bet with @ 1.62 odds, will Real Madrid be that dominant in the final match?

[el kaka22]

As long as Barcelona keeps having this financial situation, and as long as they do not fix it and keep on spending money on their players, they are not going to get a lot better. I mean not like they stopped transfers, they still do whatever they can, and they are even selling portions of their rights just to keep on trying to be better.

The real way to get better would be selling most of their players, play the young ones, sell some of the young ones that make some money for them and have good offers, and pay that debt, then they can become great again. But they decline to do that, because they want success at all times, which results with their debt never shrinking and even the interest alone is hard to be paid at this moment.

~Snip~

It wasn't Barcelona's best game, but Xavi's recent games have been difficult and they were lucky to regain second place. But if Xavi wants to make the team stronger, he will have to work very hard in the transfer market in the summer. And he should learn to accept criticism as part of his job, because the team has different times, there are downturns and in such periods they will blame him, he need to be prepared for this. But in order to compete with such a Real you need to try very hard, and spend a lot of money, and in Barcelona there are still big problems with this.

Luck was still with Barcelona after beating Real Sociedad with a score of 2-0. Initially this match was predicted to be tough because Real Sociedad really wanted to win this match to secure sixth position, but Barcelona managed to win easily and they also recorded a clean sheet in this match. The additional three points made Barcelona move back up to second place after previously being occupied by Girona. The competition for second place still continues because the two teams are only one point apart.
Barcelona must win the remaining three matches if they want to finish in second place. If you look at the opponents they will face in the remaining three matches, Barcelona will win easily because the quality of these three teams is still below Real Sociedad.

[Volgastallion]

Yes Barcelona behavior at financial level is pure trahs, they are like the goverments, they keep sepnding and acumulating more and more debt without any plan to pay that debt, only wants to win something and have one magic transfer who saves them, and that is gonna end wrong clearly.

I can see some arabian guy putting money or owning Barcelona in a near future.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

It's not easy to survive in La Liga because the competition is quite fierce and I think Granada is not ready to compete fiercely in the La LIga competition.
Granada's big defeat is quite reasonable, Real Madrid has a much stronger strength even though they play with their substitute players and also Real Madrid's reserve players want to show their true quality when given playing minutes by Ancelotti so of course they will play to the fullest as shown when match against Granada.

There is nothing to argue about Granada they are the 2nd team confirmed to be relegated, by only collecting 21 points and 3 matches remaining, the maximum points obtained is 30 meanwhile, to get out of the relegation zone they have to collect 35 points so there is no other way. Cadiz is one of the teams in the relegation zone they still have a chance to stay away from relegation but it takes a miracle to do it, winning all the remaining matches is not a guarantee because they hope Celta Vila loses in the next 3 matches.

Another day for Real Madrid to exercise their muscle on a weaker team, their typical action of oppressor. I'm expecting them to win Deportivo Alaves without much resistance even though they are not compelled to do that as the league is already settled.

They already sealed the Champions League Competition up in my head, lol and also the La Liga Competition. I don't expect too much from.thrm during this game so they'll try as much as possible to rotate the squad and give first team players good game rest ahead. In the coming weeks, they will be seeing some of them legends leaving the club finally after many years of victory and glory. I don't even have a prediction to give no more because they have sealed the competition already.

Àrda Guler, Dani Cebllos, Franc Garcia and Brahim Diaz who have seen less game time should be able to play this game, we don't want reports of Real Madrid missing important players before the finals.

I'm going for a fulltime draw game if I'm to bet. That game seem tougher than it seems, for personal reasons, I do not want Manchester City to win the Premier League Competition. Arsenal deserves it, they have been a better side in the Premier League Competition this season.

Yes Barcelona behavior at financial level is pure trahs, they are like the goverments, they keep sepnding and acumulating more and more debt without any plan to pay that debt, only wants to win something and have one magic transfer who saves them, and that is gonna end wrong clearly.

I can see some arabian guy putting money or owning Barcelona in a near future.

I know they have plans of selling some players to raise funds for the club. A player like Frankie De Jong, Robert Lewandoski, Raphina and Araujo all should be sold completely.
I don't know how better I should say this, they have a good coach all they need is backing and players to fuel the chase for trophies next season.
