La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[ShowOff]

I know most ot the lights went with the Real Madrid Villarreal game, and that 4 goals of Sorloth, two of Arda Guler and how was the develop of the game which was really crazy from 4-1 to 4-4 in a few minutes, but anyone notice how abd is Atletico Madrid defending? Who can imagine this a few years ago? a Simeone team defending so poorly.

There was a match full of goals between Real Madrid and Villarreal, the first half scored 5 goals, and the second half scored 3 goal, This match was truly extraordinary, but Alexander Sorloth from Villarreal really stood out last night because he managed to break into Madrid's goal with 4 goals and made his team manage to hold Real Madrid to a draw, he was the star of last night's match.

But seeing Atl.Madrid very sad, they lost to Osasuna at home with a score of 1-4, if we look at Atl.Madrid under Simeone, Atl.Madrid often plays defensively, but in last night's match the Osasuna team should be appreciated because they were able to dismantle Atl's defense Madrid by breaking through 4 times, now Atl. Madrid is not the team it used to be, we have seen this season that they are often unable to do their best when facing mid-table teams, but last night Osasuna was very ready to visit Atl. Madrid.

Winning, losing or drawing in several matches towards the end of the season no longer means much to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona, ​​Girona and Real Madrid are also the same, that's because the title winner has already been determined. Atletico Madrid will definitely qualify for the Champions League next season, that's the most important thing.

Alexander Sørloth's success in scoring a quatrik or 4 goals against Andriy Lunin was basically a big success for the player, but in the Real Madrid camp this would not have any effect other than embarrassment. Real Madrid is very unusual to conceding 4 goals from the same player in one match, of course Alexander Sørloth's 4 goals in an away match is the worst for Real Madrid and its defenders this season.

The relegation situation of La Liga has already been settled. The teams that are in the relegation zone are definitely going to get relegated. Now there is no chance for them to actually avoid relegation even though one match is left.

It's already clear that Cadiz, Granada and Almeria have already secured their relegation to second division of Laliga due to their incompetency in the first division. The remaining one game has no impact on any of these teams regardless of the result they will achieve. It is as good as not playing it. Seeing Granada on the bottom line is very shocking to me despite not part of their team. They have been excellent in the previous seasons with impressive performance but I don't know what change this season that they could not be able to maintain their stay in the Laliga first standard.

Cadiz just wasted one wonderful opportunity yesterday, they were home yesterday and considering the situation on ground, making a goal should have been easy job yesterday but I guess a failure doesn't has a second chance pay off here, even by just the performance Las palmas play them in match and they have to que again next season on second division.

Honestly it's a pity to see Cadiz playing against their direct rival in their home ground but could not be able to create chances. However, I'm not surprised seeing them on relegation zone because from the beginning of the season one could predict them on relegation judging from how their management failed to invest in the squad despite playing in top flight. I don't know whether they were expecting miracle to happen after it's very clear that they failed to reinforce the team well from the beginning of the season. You can not just achieve progress with the remaining few games when you have been relaxing the whole season. To some extent, I think they deserve exactly what they got for the opportunity they wasted in this important match of their season. I just hope they return stronger after spending a season there.

Barcelona will equipped good players that have experience to enchanced the club's status in La Liga next season because they missed out on golden opportunities to win trophies. Barcelona top striker, Robert Lewandowski physique have not faded because he's one of the top striker in the European world of football. Barcelona headcoach, Xavi Hernandez will make sure there's good backup signings for the Poland international.

Barcelona will not achieve much if they continually rely on Robert Lewandowski as their only main striker. No doubt he is one of the best strikers in Europe but he has past his prime. The club needs a a younger striker who can create chances instead of always waiting for already-made opportunities like the Polish striker always does. The club's only shortcoming is its financial problems which had restricted them to going for cheaper players. To balance their books players need to be sold in order to bring fresh legs.

Winning, losing or drawing in several matches towards the end of the season no longer means much to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona, ​​Girona and Real Madrid are also the same, that's because the title winner has already been determined. Atletico Madrid will definitely qualify for the Champions League next season, that's the most important thing.

Atletico Madrid should be focusing on next season's preparations because the current season is over. Diego Someone will start considering the players that will be sold and those who will be retained. There is no need to mount pressure on important players to win games since they have already known their fate.

[CryptoBuds]

Age is a problem for Lewandowski and his performance is starting to decline, but in my opinion he is still worth keeping for the next season because he still deserves to play at a high level. But Barcelona is reportedly also targeting another striker to support Lewandowski. I think this decision is quite right because it could be an alternative between the two. However, so far we have not seen at all who will be the replacement figure for Xavi, because whoever will be the coach will really determine the game scheme implemented and the compatibility with the existing players so that Lewandowski's role will really depend on the new coach.

Barcelona's performance this season has not been good. However, Barcelona are very lucky to hold on to second place in the table. As erratic as Barcelona's performance has been, I thought we'd see Girona in second place in the table.

If Barcelona want to challenge for the title next season, they will definitely need to strengthen the squad. Real Madrid will likely add Mbappe to the squad to strengthen their squad. So if Barcelona can't strengthen their squad then Barcelona have no chance of winning the title. Next season we may see poor and erratic performances from Barcelona.

The relegation situation of La Liga has already been settled. The teams that are in the relegation zone are definitely going to get relegated. Now there is no chance for them to actually avoid relegation even though one match is left.

Cadiz chance to force themselves not to be relegated must be dashed because of the results of the series this week but indeed even if forced 3 points there is also no guarantee for Cadiz to be able to escape relegation again because for the last match they will face Girona which we know how to perform this season even though lately they cannot maintain their consistency well but they are still a scary club to face .

With this situation, indeed from the beginning, their chances were already small and there was no chance of being able to improve after the situation was not too good for them in the standings .  They are now 4 points behind with one final game that has no impact but at the end of the day, they have to keep doing well to prove that they are a club that is serious until the end even if their performance drops and they have to move to the segunda division next season .

We know that Real Betis has had a bad performance this season, their last season performance was even better than this one. That is why it will be better for them to focus more on their performance if they really want to have a good record, but in some aspects, I will say that they face more hot opponents in this season than the last one, and they even put less effort into some games, which leads to a poor performance.

The best truth for them to believe in is that this is their last game that they want to play, and they know that they will hardly win the game because it is very hard to win the winners of the season. Everyone already knows that Real Madrid are the winners of this season's La Liga trophy, so Real Betis will completely lose hope of winning. and it is the best to do because they also know that they will hardly win, so to me, I think the best for Real Betis is to focus more on their performance so that they will have a good performance next season.

I don't think Real Betis loses hope of winning against Real Madrid as long as the game is not over and done with, if you say so then I will really be against you. Real Madrid have clearly secured the title this season and they have to rotate players so they can maintain their fitness and physique ahead of the Champions League final against Dortmund. This can make Real Betis' chances of winning better, especially if Real Betis can play better than Real Madrid.

I am in no way underestimating any team that plays Real Madrid this season even though Real Madrid's chances of winning are very high. Real Madrid may not want to accept defeat at the end of the season, but it is still possible for Real Madrid to lose points like they did when they were forced to draw 4-4 against Villarreal.

The match between Real Madrid and Real Betis will take place around a week of the big Champions League final match. In this case, in my opinion, Real Madrid will probably not bring out their mainstay player again at that time, or not full time. Real Madrid no longer has any targets in La Liga, on the other hand, they must secure the condition of the players so that they are 100% fit and no one suffers injuries. So maybe there will be several key and main Real Madrid players who will not be included in the starters in that match. However, that doesn't mean they won't be optimal. I'm sure Real Madrid's players will also try their best. So, Real Betis also has to try extra if they want to benefit from this and win against Real Madrid. I think this will be a fairly intense and interesting La Liga closing match between Real Madrid and Real Betis.

Anyway, the good news is that La Liga gets an extra spot for the Europa League, right? I checked this, and with this, Real Betis got a spot and a chance in the Europa Conference League qualifiers. This could be a good opportunity for Real Betis.

The relegation situation of La Liga has already been settled. The teams that are in the relegation zone are definitely going to get relegated. Now there is no chance for them to actually avoid relegation even though one match is left.

Cadiz did definitely try a lot to avoid the relegation. But in the end, it was not enough. Honestly, you cannot overcome the obvious mistakes that you have made throughout the whole season in just a few weeks. They have played pretty badly about the whole season. It is not going to be a good expectation to set that they will be able to overcome this problem in just the last five or six weeks.

Yes, they have performed pretty well in the last few matches of this season. But obviously, that is not going to be enough For them to actually avoid the relegation.

You are talking mainly about Cadiz which got quite nice records in the last three rounds but the other two performance were way under what we expect from a team, playing in a major league like La Liga, to be!
Granada particularly were disappointing and they dropped a lot starting from the previous season and their relegation is inevitable..

Yes that's correct. I agree that Ancelotti will rotate players to avoid the risk of injury or not being 100% fit ahead of the Champions League final. Real Madrid don't have such a big target anymore at the end of the season after they won the title, but maintaining a record of 1 defeat throughout this season in La Liga is also important to work on.

Real Madrid's victory at home is certainly very much hoped for and will also be tried as best as possible. Real Betis is clearly safe from qualifying for the European Conference League next season considering that Villarreal can no longer exceed the points gap. Bilbao and Real Sociedad have qualified for the Europa League, so Betis' win doesn't matter any more either.

Among these teams here,I really love what Girona did this season,they did tremendously well in almost everything game they played this season,they gave their all and was able to qualify for a spot in the champions league final.They seat 3rd in the champions league spot and are ready to play in the competition next season.
Real Madrid have won the league with points and no team was closer to them in points though out the whole of this season.Nevertheless, Barcelona tried  to meet them up,but it wasng possible,but their attempts was not enough uptill the season ends.

Ancelotti is one of the best and most successful coaches in the business. Actually, it is sad to know that he will retire soon, too. I wonder if it is in 2026 I think when his contract ends, but if it is possible then I wish he would be a coach for many years to come. Klopp is now gone and Ancelotti would be another huge name in this field. All are of a different kind, yet Ancelotti is special. And he seems to still be super ambitious. He wants that title. Maybe he retires if he wins it!  Nobody can tell for sure, but I guess he is already planning his perfect moment to say goodbye. He seems to be that kind of person.

[Richbased]

Robert Lewandowski is currently above the age of 35 and as such, you don't expect him to continue be as prolific as he was during his 20s. Currently in the Barcelona team, they do not have any striker that's capable of challenging Robert Lewandowski for to no.9 role at the club and that why I don't expect him to struggle retain his place as the club's regular starter next season. The Poland international have been very impressive with his performances for the club and was one of the main reasons Barcelona win the Spanish La Liga last season. This season, he's be doing his best to help the club remain competitive despite the injuries that kept jim sidelined for some part of the season.
The club's current financial crises I don't think will permit them to sign a striker that'll be able to challenge Robert Lewandowski for the teams regular shirt next season so I think it's safe to say that we're still going to witness another season that the Poland international will remain as the club manager's first choice

Robert Lewandowski is a high profile player of which he showcase his talents while in Bayern Munich and just like you said age is calling on him now as you can't compare his energy and capacity at Bayern Munich to now that he's playing for Barcelona but however, regardless of his age he has still been a major player for the team's squad and on several matches he proved his worth so he should enjoy his playing time at Barcelona.

Apart from the fact that Barcelona are experiencing financial difficulties now but that doesn't mean that even if they were to sign a prestigious player that he gonna become the most preferred choice instead of Robert Lewandowski so let that be aside for now though some injuries he got during the season gave him some setbacks but he wasn't that off the game so let's watch out how next season will turn out for the Polish international footballer.

[TopT3ns]

Age is a problem for Lewandowski and his performance is starting to decline, but in my opinion he is still worth keeping for the next season because he still deserves to play at a high level. But Barcelona is reportedly also targeting another striker to support Lewandowski. I think this decision is quite right because it could be an alternative between the two. However, so far we have not seen at all who will be the replacement figure for Xavi, because whoever will be the coach will really determine the game scheme implemented and the compatibility with the existing players so that Lewandowski's role will really depend on the new coach.

It's true that Lewandowski's performance is influenced by his age. We can also see that in every match they don't just rely on one player but they have to work as a team to be able to score goals. If Barcelona wants to bring in another new attacking player, they must be younger than Lewandowski and have skills that are probably almost the same as Lewandowski.

[Dailyscript]

I am not sure that Lewandowski will get a lot of chances next season if he doesn't score a proper number of goals. It will also depend on their activity in the transfer market. But his star isn't rising anymore to say the least. He has his qualities, but speed is a big question in my opinion, I like how he plays and he can play a good style within teams that suit him, but I am not sure that Barcelona is still the style he can benefit from. They are more about a high technique level and speed and Lewandowski is getting older and slower. The next season might be the one where he realizes that he is probably sitting more on the bench than getting time on the pitch.

Yes, of course age has affected him so badly. There is no way he can deny the fact. I could remember back then when he could run so fast, strike without minding if he is going to have any injuries at the end. Its so painful that is coming to an end which he knows full well.

Bringing another striker to the team might work out well for them, but lets be honest how do you think the new striker would cope together in the pitch with Lewandowsky unless they will be starting the new striker instead of Lewandoski and then maybe during the second half they can bring him in to substitute and play for some time. Honestly he wont be Barcelona first choice of striker.

Lewandowski is a striker who so far I still consider a productive center forward in La Liga. He has scored 18 goals and 8 assists in La Liga this season in 34 appearances, certainly not bad for a center forward who will be 36 in August. Lewandowski is desperate to stay and become Barcelona's main center forward, but ultimately he may face competition considering Barcelona must also prepare to lose him in the coming seasons.

Barcelona has 2 other center forwards in their squad, they are Vitor Roque and Marc Guiu. The two players I mentioned are still young and have little experience, but Xavi sometimes gives them minutes in some matches so that Lewandowski can play better. Of course Barcelona needs a younger, stronger and more productive striker, that's because I'm sure Barcelona can't rely on Marc Guiu and Vitor Roque next season.

[Mayor of ogba]

It was very clear that Villarreal was very prepared to meet Real Madrid in their home, but Real Madrid started the match well to scored four goals before Villarreal managed to scored one goal to make the first half 1-4 for Real Madrid to lead. What Villarreal did in the second half surprised people, because they thought that the match will end up in those goals Real Madrid scored in the first half but they equalized the goals before the extra time to stop Real Madrid not to achieved the victory from the match. I don't think, Real Madrid will feel so bad about this draw match 4-4, because they are still ahead of other teams in the la Liga league table which they will definitely win this title to bring celebration to their fans.

An interesting match took place last night where Villarreal, who was behind in the first half, was 1-4 behind Real Madrid, but in the second half they managed to equalize to 4-4, there were 8 goals in one match, and the star of this match was Alexander Sorloth managed to break into Real Madrid's goal with 4 goals and equalized the score at 4-4.

However, if you look at this match, it is equally unfavorable for both teams, and there is no loss for Real Madrid because they have already locked in La Liga champions, but with this match I think Carlo Ancelotti has to learn again where his team is, there was a mistake last night so they got 4 goals, because it is very important for an important match in the Champions Final.

To be honest, this is a match that is no longer a priority for Madrid. I see that the starting XI that Ancelotti implemented was really just to test the mentality of some of his young players. I don't see this match being that special for Madrid and maybe it was very good for Villarreal because it wasn't easy and they were able to equalize the score when they were far behind.

Ancelotti will definitely evaluate the performance of his young players to strengthen their mentality next season and I think Ancelotti is also very satisfied with his team's performance.

Since Real Madrid has won the La Liga title this season already and they have qualified for the UEFA Champions League finals, Ancelotti will not want to risk his best players getting injured. Ancelotti has been using Real Madrid players, who don't have playing time, to play some of their remaining matches, and they are pretty well performing. Villarreal only equalizes against Real Madrid because not all of their starting eleven played that match against Villarreal. Ancelotti wants his starting eleven to have a good rest so that they can perform well against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final.

Of course Barcelona needs a younger, stronger and more productive striker, that's because I'm sure Barcelona can't rely on Marc Guiu and Vitor Roque next season.

Lewandowski is still the best striker, but he is old. In my opinion, it is better for Barcelona to sell him because he still has high value because by selling Lewandowski, Barcelona has the capital to buy other players. Moreover, currently Barcelona is still having financial difficulties buying new players to strengthen the squad next season.

In fact, there are several players in Barcelona's main squad who still have high selling value, perhaps one of them is Frenkie de Jong. He also had to be sold because he had been at Barcelona for five years and had not made a big impact at Barcelona. Maybe this is what Xavi has to do so that Barcelona continues to move forward, by selling several players and bringing in new players because they cannot just rely on young players like Vitor Roque and Marc Guiu. Thus, I am sure that next season Barcelona will be able to compete in Laliga and the UCL League.

An interesting match took place last night where Villarreal, who was behind in the first half, was 1-4 behind Real Madrid, but in the second half they managed to equalize to 4-4, there were 8 goals in one match, and the star of this match was Alexander Sorloth managed to break into Real Madrid's goal with 4 goals and equalized the score at 4-4.

I think this is surprising, because at the start Real Madrid were able to take the lead even though they made mistakes so that Villarreal could score one goal, with Real Madrid being able to take the lead first I thought it would survive and end up with Real Madrid being able to win the match, however In fact, Villarreal was able to equalize. I don't think Villarreal can compensate for their goal deficit. This is football full of surprises, where Real Madrid, which is known as a strong team, can still be beaten.

It's not detrimental to Real Madrid because they have already secured La Liga Champions, but what Carlo Ancelotti has to fix are the mistakes his team made, because this could be detrimental to them later in the Champions Final, especially with Villarreal scoring an early goal, because that happened because a mistake from one of their defenders who failed to control the ball.

Villarreal only equalizes against Real Madrid because not all of their starting eleven played that match against Villarreal. Ancelotti wants his starting eleven to have a good rest so that they can perform well against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final.

Of course it is true as you said, Carlo Anceloti will not want to take a big risk in fielding his best players just because he is pursuing the ambition of winning because in fact Real Madrid has been declared victorious in La Liga and has already won the trophy so why is Real Madrid trying to win every game when they have was declared the winner and Carlo Anceloti also wouldn't have done that and taken a bigger risk because Real Madrid still had another important match competing in the Champions League final. If Anceloti fielded his best players in the La Liga match he would be afraid of injury because we don't know it's bad luck when it will happen so it's better to prevent it from happening.

Moreover, using Real Madrid's second player also continued to perform well in La Liga, it was proven that these players' attacks looked aggressive and created many opportunities at home to Villareal. Although in the end the Villareal players also counter-attacked which resulted in only achieving a draw, but even so, Real Madrid also quite satisfied with the draw, rather than having to suffer a defeat, at least one point can add to his points collection this season.

The match was like a friendly to Real Madrid, they knew losing the game would not cause them any harm as they have already secure the La Liga title ahead of Barcelona that are many points behind them. We also have to appreciate Villarreal for taking the opportunity that was presented to them to draw the game because it would had been a disgrace that a B team of Real Madrid won them with the margins of goals. A. Sørloth was the star of the match by scoring four goals and giving Villarreal a point. The points was not very important to Villarreal as it did not help them to qualify for champions league football but they did not lose to a weak Real Madrid side and this is what is important for their confidence playing the final game of the season and also coming into next season.
