La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[bering]

For today match between Sevilla vs Cadiz and away team Cadiz currently still hard struggling to avoiding relegation zone and Cadiz has 5 points below to Celta and actually mathematically to cut their gap points is really possible to do so but consodering Cadiz performance which very poor then i highly doubt they can able to do that and i know Cadiz last week has just gets the winning result from Getafe but it won't be guarantee they can performing well today and for Sevilla their position is very secured now because Sevilla will not going to be relegated and today they want to return to the winning ways from this match

Sevilla performance is quite good now and they had successfully to improved their home matches records because in the last 6 matches at home Sevilla only get 1 loses and gets 4 wins and these results also can makes them can able to avoiding relegation zone and survive at Laliga for next season and for today match although Sevilla has just lost from Villarreal last week but i am quite confident Sevilla can able to bounce back and collect 3 points from this match and the odds for Sevilla win is quite good to bets @1.98

Real Madrid victory today was quite impressive because a total of 5 FT goals were created very beautifully. Alaves actually also took a lot of dangerous shots but again Courtois was the goalkeeper who made 10 saves. Madrid has 2 goalkeepers who are both very strong, both Courtois and Lunin, which will definitely make Ancelotti confused about who to play in the UCL final against Dortmund. Bellingham 10', Vini 27', 70', Valverde 45+1', and Arda Guler 81' did their job well. Arda has scored 4 goals in 9 matches in La Liga, in my opinion he is indeed quality because he has only played a few matches but by collecting 4 goals shows that Real Madrid was not in vain bringing him to the Bernabeu. Do we need to compare it with Lamine Yamal who has played 34 matches with a collection of 5 goals, of course there is a very big difference both in terms of statistics and in terms of position, Yamal plays as a striker while Arda only plays as a midfielder.   

Real Madrid managed to win the match according to everyone's expectations. And the score of 5-0 even exceeded everyone's expectations. And this shows that Real Madrid will not underestimate any remaining matches this season. Alaves did play quite well through their counter-attacks. but that wasn't enough to make Real Madrid concede. About Arda Guler, this magical boy will continue to develop into a great player. At a young age, his career will become even more brilliant. And maybe he will be an important player in the following seasons.

True there performance is quite good now compare to there performance early this season they have actually been very consistent lately but they are not lucky enough on there last match against Villarreal because they tried all they could but Villarreal outperformed them though it was expected because already Villarreal has been more consistent than Sevilla because they have gone quite far on this league, however Sevilla was even the first to score through penalty but do to how good Villarreal is compare to Sevilla they had to equalize and win Sevilla at the end. Considering the position of Sevilla they have not really perform well on this season at all but the only thing they achieve is not being able to go to relegation this season.

I think it depended on whether or not Ancelotti decides to let his best squad play and he did. He even decided to not give a break to Bellingham at all, he let him go full distance and I suspected he would do it because he doesn't want his best squad to not be playing at all until the Champions League final. But you can see that he chose this game and maybe next game, but I am pretty sure most of the players will get a full break on matchday 38.

I think it is the right approach although there is still a little risk for injuries, but highly competitive professionals need the game, they need practice to stay in shape. Putting them on the bench for three weeks to then hope that they can play their best has never convinced me when coaches did that in the past. But Ancelotti is a smart guy. He keeps them in shape and there you go, Bellingham contributed 1 goal and 2 assists. That's what a guy like him needs to feel fresh and focused.

Prediction gone wrong lol.

They had a good game, rotated the players very well and it gladdens me to see Arda Guler finally getting his chances and at the same time scoring these goals to gain confidence.
It was a thrilling game as they brought the recently won La Liga Competition to show the fans before that game and that was a great one as they increased the bar and leveled up with the goals scored.

That goal from Valverde was damnit! The way he shoots reminds me of Frank Lampard as a midfielder likewise Steven Gerrard as they shoot like this from outside the box.
Vinicius Junior also scored a beautiful goal but I'm going with the goals scored by Valverde and Arda Guler. Jude Bellingham in his very first season has done well. I hope to see them take this top performance to the Champions League finals.

There is always a comparison of the results achieved each season, as a result of failing to defend the La Liga title this season, Xavi performance has come under sharp scrutiny from outside parties. In general, it is quite difficult to handle a large team, there are always demands that are a burden on the coach, when the team is unable to achieve the targets set by management, the coach is the first person to be blamed.

Xavi's challenges since the start of the season have been very difficult because we know that the club has experienced financial difficulties and in the process of recruiting players.
Barcelona is a big team that will always be in the spotlight, so we really understand what happened to Barcelona and Xavi.

Yes, it's not too bad, Barcelona has only had five defeats since the start of the season and seven draws. Competitive competition from Real Madrid makes it difficult for Barcelona to catch up with their points. This season's failures must be corrected next season, there are several positions that need to be replaced to maintain the stability of the squad. Xavi must be able to make Barcelona win several titles next season to increase the club's income while reducing the financial burden it is facing.

Next season I am sure that Xavi will have more freedom in shaping the Barcelona squad again in a much better direction because initially it was reported that Xavi would end his work at Barcelona as head coach, but towards the end of the season we received news that Xavi would continue his work at Barcelona after meeting with Laporta.

[rendravolt]

Ancelotti's squad won another big victory after successfully overthrowing Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu with a score of 5-0 without reply. All the players played so compactly and there were no gaps in their defense. Last night we also saw Courtois' impressive performance by keeping a clean sheet with 9 saves. I think he could be considered with Lunin to play in the Champions League final against Dortmund.

Apart from that, Vinicius was sharp again with 2 goals, and Bellingham scored his 19th goal this season, plus there was Vede Valverde's signature rocket kick, and it ended nicely with a great goal from Arda Guller. I think the Real Madrid squad will be even more terrifying if the development of each individual is like this, especially since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe will make it even easier for Real Madrid to secure victory.

Ancelotti deliberately fielded the main squad because they needed to warm up on the pitch. You have to be careful about the risk of injury because there is still an important match waiting. Madrid have become La Liga champions but are still trying to maximize the remaining matches to win. However it would be better to still use the second tier squad rather than taking dangerous risks. Before the UCL final there are 2 matches that must be completed but I hope Ancelotti takes the option of second tier players to play, these 2 matches don't matter anymore because the results of La Liga have finished since they won the trophy. We want the main squad to be in really prime condition to face Dortmund. Needing full strength in the final, Ancelotti will definitely be very careful regarding the decision of the players he will field in Week 37 and 38 of La Liga.

Real Madrid was really full of enthusiasm and smiles in that match and many beautiful goals were scored by Real Madrid players. The performances of Vini, Bellingham, Guler and Valverde were really impressive but of course the 5-0 result against Alaves was of course a normal thing because of course in terms of ranking, it is very different from Alaves. Yes, of course Real Madrid is lucky because they have a good goalkeeper and this is what has made Real Madrid successful to date because they have a really strong squad.

When facing Dortmund in the UCL, of course Ancelotti must really be able to choose who will be the goalkeeper because Dortmund's attacks are usually always sharp and of course this will make things difficult for the defense and goalkeeper. But it looks like Real Madrid will definitely have the big potential to overcome Dortmund in the UCL final.

Yes, Arda is indeed good because he has scored a lot of goals even though he only competed 9 times, but I think Yamal is also a good player and has created 4 assists which of course is really needed in his team.

I think the Real Madrid squad will be even more terrifying if the development of each individual is like this, especially since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe will make it even easier for Real Madrid to secure victory.

To be honest Real Madrid's squad will be something else next season, the squad will be very strong and also with good players, yesterday match was very easy for Real Madrid, imagine 3 goals were scored before going to the half time of the match, all Real Madrid performance is improving every day, they keep performing well with many skills every day, I’m sure that this coming champion league final will favor Real Madrid with this kind of performance this season, Vinicius, Bellingham, camavinga and other Real Madrid players will make Laliga tough next season because I don’t think Real Madrid will let Barcelona have a good season again with this squad.

And again if Mbape joins Real Madrid it going to be strong because a team that has a player like Mbape, Vinicius, Bellingham, Rodrygo, camavinga, Valverde and other good players can not be handled by any team, even Manchester City will be afraid of Real Madrid if they meet in the champion league again, And again Real Madrid will always win Laliga every season if Mbape joins them, and also Real Madrid is having another young talented player which is Arda Guler, I don’t think people are seeing this guy performance the way I use to see, he will surely be a player that every team will want to have.

Xavi plans to leave but perhaps he sees that no team wants to recruit him so when he gets an offer to return to coaching Barcelona it is better to accept it than to be unemployed and not get a call. Xavi season with Barcelona wasn't always bad even though he didn't win a title this season, Xavi was still able to take advantage of the opportunity to maintain his runner up position. Indeed in preparation for next season Xavi must immediately make active player changes in the transfer market. Financial matters which are still an obstacle can still be carried out if several players who do not contribute  are sold and the proceeds are used to buy new forces.

Ancelotti's squad won another big victory after successfully overthrowing Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu with a score of 5-0 without reply. All the players played so compactly and there were no gaps in their defense. Last night we also saw Courtois' impressive performance by keeping a clean sheet with 9 saves. I think he could be considered with Lunin to play in the Champions League final against Dortmund.

This victory was very predictable, seeing that in the first half 3 goals were scored, it was not enough and in the second half Alaves game became more aggressive. Unfortunately no matter how aggressive they were in attack, they still couldn't penetrate Thibaut Courtois solid defense, he had just woken up from injury and was still hungry for his position because goalkeeper Courtois was bombarded in every way, he was still the best at guarding the goal. Lunin or Courtois who will start in the UCL final, will still be able to carry out their duties well.

[Blitzboy]

Unfortunately Girona did not take advantage of this moment well, they had to accept defeat against Villarreal. If Girona can still win this match, they should still be in second place on the standings. It can be seen that Girona has tried hard to get a goal in this match. Girona repeatedly tried to shoot towards the Villarreal goal but still had difficulty penetrating Filip Jörgensen's defense. Girona still has two matches that will determine whether they can reclaim second place or not.

This is devastating for Girona. A huge disappointment. They may have finished second in the league, but they couldn't. I'll give them credit for trying, but effort doesn't always win, right? Girona's offence wowed. It was impossible to break Villarreal's defence. Like a fortification. Nobody was getting through. The issue is that without scoring, you can't win. Basic football.

This loss might be disastrous for Girona. Very terrible. People, only a few games remain, and they're losing time to catch up. The scenario is unfortunate for a talented team. They've showed they can play with the best, but consistency matters. They'll keep failing unless they find it out quickly. They must improve. As simple as that.

It's true that it's a shame that Michel's troops had to swallow the bitter pill in the previous match and lost to a team that was of course ranked far from Girona with a score of 0-1, but yes, now Girona's hopes of reaching 2nd place will be difficult to achieve because of course Xavi's troops will definitely continues to maintain its current position and yes, in last night's match, Girona's performance was good and they controlled more of the ball, but the point is that Villarreal performed better than Girona because they had a strong defense so Girona's attacks and shots could be broken. Yes, we'll see whether Girona can Replace Barcelona or not. Of course, the remaining 2 matches must be utilized Girona well and must see Barcelona lose if they want to become runners up at the end of this season.

but yes, so far Girona finish in 2nd or 3rd place, of course it is an extraordinary achievement, but it seems that with Girona's defeat against Villarreal, I think Michel has to improve Girona so that next season Girona can perform better.

Not surprised by the things and conditions at the end of the season for all the top clubs, because it is impossible that Ginora will be eliminated from 3rd place in the standings with his defeat against Villarreal 0-1, with this defeat at least Ginora will help points for the mid-table clubs who still need To enter the European zone, looking for victory seems to be no longer needed by Barcelona or Girona and Atletico Madrid, they are aware that the title has fallen to Real Madrid, so at least Ginora is safe in the Champions League zone.

[tusandii]

An extraordinary victory for Madrid this time because they were able to score 5 goals against Alaves without replying. I saw that Madrid's performance was still extraordinary even though they had already won the league title, even though Madrid should have appeared more relaxed and their main players should not have been used too much in the match. In La Liga, even winning or losing still doesn't matter for Madrid, who are certain to win the title, so why should they continue to perform optimally when they also need to prepare for an important match in the UCL.

I see Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr and Bellingham being used by Madrid as main starters even though these players are Madrid's mainstay players in difficult matches. Anceloti must secure these players to avoid the risk of injury. The UCL final match is in early June and Anceloti must protect his mainstay players so that Their stamina remains good when they meet Borussia Dortmund, Anceloti cannot be careless in pursuing the ambition of winning continuously in La Liga.

[Ahli38]

Real Madrid managed to win the match according to everyone's expectations. And the score of 5-0 even exceeded everyone's expectations. And this shows that Real Madrid will not underestimate any remaining matches this season. Alaves did play quite well through their counter-attacks. but that wasn't enough to make Real Madrid concede. About Arda Guler, this magical boy will continue to develop into a great player. At a young age, his career will become even more brilliant. And maybe he will be an important player in the following seasons.

Ancelotti really made the Real Madrid squad play optimally in this match. And this is what I love about Real Madrid. They always don't underestimate weak teams. So they always get satisfactory results. And Carlo Ancelotti is really trying to maintain the sharpness of Real Madrid's forward players by continuing to play them in matches like yesterday. But I hope Ancelotti can rest the main players in one match before the Champions League Final. Because the main players will definitely need more rest and so they can avoid the possibility of getting injured before an important match. There are two matches that Real Madrid will face before the final match in the Champions League. Namely the matches against Villareal and Betis. In one of these matches I don't think Ancelotti needs to play all their main players full time. especially against Betis which was 1 week before the final in UCL.

A big disappointment with two games left in the season. They couldn't overcome the Villereal defense, but they lost in one of the most important matches. Even though they tried a lot of attacks, the Villereal goal defense did not allow them to score a goal. However, if they win their remaining two matches, they have the possibility of finishing the season second.

Valencia is currently in the 9th place in the remaining matches, they need to focus very well on this match and win. Their last match is in the last place. If the match against Valencia goes well, they won't have any trouble in the match against Granada.

Alaves actually also took a lot of dangerous shots but again Courtois was the goalkeeper who made 10 saves. Madrid has 2 goalkeepers who are both very strong, both Courtois and Lunin, which will definitely make Ancelotti confused about who to play in the UCL final against Dortmund. Bellingham 10', Vini 27', 70', Valverde 45+1', and Arda Guler 81' did their job well. Arda has scored 4 goals in 9 matches in La Liga, in my opinion he is indeed quality because he has only played a few matches but by collecting 4 goals shows that Real Madrid was not in vain bringing him to the Bernabeu. Do we need to compare it with Lamine Yamal who has played 34 matches with a collection of 5 goals, of course there is a very big difference both in terms of statistics and in terms of position, Yamal plays as a striker while Arda only plays as a midfielder.

There is no need to doubt Real Madrid's ability and seriousness in this match. Even though Real Madrid has been confirmed as La Liga champions this season, they do not want to waste the remaining matches and will never take the opponents they face lightly. Even though Alaves showed a pretty good game with their counter attacks, in my opinion it is very difficult for Alaves to compete with Real Madrid in terms of scoring goals, because Real Madrid's defense is very strong and cannot be penetrated. Arda Guler does have very good potential, his career development is very promising, it is possible that he will become an important player for Real Madrid.

Girona's defeat against Vilarreal never occurred to me. The reason is, in this match, since the first half, Girona was able to dominate the game and always launched attacks which were very troublesome for Vilareal's defense. Therefore, I predict that Girona will definitely win with a landslide score in this match. But apparently, until the first half was over, not a single Girona player's attack had resulted in a goal. In fact, in the second half it was Girona who conceded, and until the match was over Girona failed to equalize. In my opinion, Girona was very unlucky in this match. The reason is, there were several golden opportunities that almost became goals, but unfortunately they were always thwarted by Vilareal's defenders.

Even though it's heavy, Girona must be able to accept this defeat, and of course must bear the shame of losing at home. Apart from that, the possibility that Girona can finish as runners-up in La Liga this time is a little doubtful. The reason is that this opportunity could not be utilized properly in the match against Vilareal this time. However, Girona still has 2 more matches left in LaLiga, so the opportunity to compete for second place with Barcelona still continues.

However, if they win their remaining two matches, they have the possibility of finishing the season second.

Girona had to admit that they were unable to compete with Barcelona in second place or runners up, that's why they didn't really make good use of the remaining games at the end of this season so they had to lose points against Villarreal, clearly that was a failure that they didn't want to finish all the remaining matches with better results, but perhaps Girona must admit that Barcelona is more worthy of being in second place as runners up so that Girona must be satisfied with being in third place in Laliga this season.

It seems that Girona lacks the strength to face the remaining final matches of this season well, which is why it is normal for them to experience failure and defeat, but Girona must be able to improve everything next season because they will also compete in the European competition UCL next season as well as prepare themselves for could be a strong team to win Laliga next season because previously they managed to stay at the top of the standings for quite a long time this season but unfortunately at the end of the season Madrid were luckier than Girona and even more consistent than Girona until they finally won the Laliga title this season.

Girona actually have a very good season and this defeat even is unlucky for them, they actually had a good performance. Girona already got a position to play in Champions League next season and they can celebrate this big milestone in their club history.

Villareal is one of strongest clubs in La Liga recent years and don't forget that two seasons ago, they got quarter finals with Bayern Munich.
https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/2034657--bayern-vs-villarreal/

Playing against Villareal and dominating the match shows strength of Girona and this proves that their achievement in this season is not a coincidence but actually comes from their quality and efforts throughout this season.
Sevilla, another big club in La Liga, again managed to stay in La Liga even in two latest seasons, they had very terrible first half of these seasons. I am curious that how Sevilla will begin a next season because if they repeat terrible debuts, I believe they will not be able to escape the La Liga relegation zone forever.
