La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 !

[sampoerna]

Although actually if you look at the goals, they were all the result of penalty kicks. but it's okay, the point is just to win.

Indeed, win is a win. 3 points for Real Madrid, still remains as the runner up.
the match may be going to be tighter again later. see how Barcelona can maintain their position in the first place until the end, it'll be much interesting.

Vinicius Jr and Kylian  Mbappe scoring each one goal from penalty kick and Madrid failure scoring goals trough open play although have dominance against Real Sociedad.

They both shared the opportunity to be the penalty taker, starting with Vini JR's success and then Mbappe on the second penalty kick. The two are becoming more compact as time goes on.

FT Real Sociedad 0 vs 2 Real Madrid

Real Madrid continues the winning trend after success defeating Real Sociedad last several hours ago and three points achievement pressure Barcelona on the first position awhile with one point remaining.
Vinicius Jr and Kylian  Mbappe scoring each one goal from penalty kick and Madrid failure scoring goals trough open play although have dominance against Real Sociedad.
Three away points against Sociedad make good capital for Madrid before facing busy schedule match few days later will play in Champion League and have only three days rest before playing in domestic league match again.

It is good that Real Madrid can win this match. Real Sociedad isn't a weak team, it is one of the strong teams in La Liga. With this win, it may improve the mentality of Real Madrid players. And this will keep their hope for the race of the title in this season. This is a very important 3 points.

However, I'm not satisfied with Real Madrid game. They only could score 2 goals from penalty kicks. Mbappe seems still not playing solidly with other Real Madrid players. I still don't see Mbappe playing with his best form anymore.

Mbappe also actually has the same thing, because this is his dream team since childhood. Now he has the opportunity to play with Real Madrid, it should be able to make him show something very good, because again Real Madrid is the team he dreams of.

Real Madrid played against Real Sociedad, and the supporters will be celebrating the three points after they ended up winning the game after a first half where no goals were scored. I do not think that Real Madrid did it on a good note because they cannot keep depending on penalties to win games when they have such a very talented and convincing team that should win games and score regular, normal goals.

Vinicius scored the first penalty, and Mbappe scored the second. Good thing that both players are alternating penalty spot duty and giving themselves both a chance.

With the limited players they have because many are injured, they can show something good even though both goals they scored came from the penalty spot. But don't care about that because the most important thing is the goal to win.

They can also win in away games, this is a good thing for them, because with limited wins in away games is not a good thing. Ancelotti has a complicated job because he has to be able to perform well.

Last few hour ago, Barcelona success defend the victory after defeating Girona over 1-4 and keep leading the first standings place with perfect result with 100% winning trend in La Liga. Barcelona have 15 points and remaining 4 points from Real Madrid but in last five matches Barcelona have better performance with 17 goals scoring in last five matches than Madrid only have opportunities by scoring 9 goals.

Lamine Yamal show his impressive and consistent performance against Girona, he was success scoring two goals but late minutes Barcelona have loss their player Ferran torres after receiving red card.

Barcelona under Hansi Flick this season is really great. They even always win in the early matches this season And not only that, their consistency is really good, at least so far that's what we see from their opponent club, Real Madrid.

And especially this time, their opponent is Girona, but Girona's performance this season has really dropped, very different from last season. Because Girona's top players have been sold, so their squad is currently not as good as before. This is another big challenge for the coach to make Girona rise again and give a very good performance like last season, even though this seems impossible.

I've also started doubting real Madrid lately. Their 3 points against Real Sociedad was determined by two penalties. But massive credits to the Real Sociedad goalkeeper, who I think did a very good job in making all 3 points very difficult for Madrid. If madrid keeps lagging between in terms of point and doesn't find a good rhythm before meeting a very good side, then they might struggle to compete. Because, from the performance that Barcelona are currently showing, it's obvious that they are up to the task, and might make things a lot difficult for madrid this season.

I still feel that the table hasn't take a proper shape, as the season is still fresh. But the teams I have in mind for the top five spot are Barce, Rmadrid, Amadrid, Girona and Sociedad. These are teams that I feel will fight heavily for the top five spot, and I guess those spots are automatic UCl qualification.

On the one hand, Barcelona surprised us because they started the season extraordinary when everyone almost always doubted them since before the season started. But on the other hand, Real Madrid, which was expected to be the strongest team because of Mbappe's presence in Madrid's attack line, actually started the season quite negatively. Well, it's a bit disappointing, even some of the current Real Madrid players have suffered injuries after returning from the international break while defending their respective national teams. Real Madrid's condition is quite doubtful. But yeah, it's still early days and Real Madrid usually always know how to get the most out of their team every season and keep us from being disappointed with them.

Robert Lewandowski, seeing the goals, is practically unleashed
Not like Haaland who really made a massacre in a few days, but I see him in a good mood
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is struggling to keep up, and again this week I see them struggling and struggling

Robert Lewandowski played quite well. I think it is good that he can lead the top scorer again in La Liga. It doesn't need to compare with Haaland. Robert Lewandowski is no longer in his prime age, meanwhile Haaland is in his prime age. Of course Haaland played better because it is his best time to show his ability.

Real Madrid is struggling to compete with Barcelona for La Liga trophy. Sadly, Real Madrid has no machine goal who played well recently. Even if Real Madrid has Mbappe, Mbappe doesn't perform well now. But I think Real Madrid still has a chance to catch Barcelona in the top standings.

With the limited players they have because many are injured, they can show something good even though both goals they scored came from the penalty spot. But don't care about that because the most important thing is the goal to win.

Yes, of course there might still be a decline in the back line and another concern if their last CB is also injured, then this is quite a tough task for Ancelotti to manage the squad for guarding or defense. However, thankfully it doesn't affect too much. Like just now, Real Madrid won against Stuttgart in the Champions League matchday 1. Yes, at least, they can optimize their attacks so that they have more ball dominance and prevent the ball from reaching their own defense line often.

When against Stuttgart, Madrid played well, a strong start to the UCL campaign but you are right Real Madrid has homework in the back line because they have not rejuvenated.
And in the 2025 summer transfer market, it seems they will prioritize bringing in a defender, Alphonso Davies is rumored to have become their target.
And until then, I think Madrid still showed great defense and Ancelotti still has the strength to dig deep to win games.

I see La Liga as tough for Real Madrid this season, we can say that Barcelona wants to win at least something and that Real Madrid, focused on the Champions League, obviously cannot help but make some missteps in the Liga
missteps immediately picked up by its competitors of course

Yes they just won their first game in the Champions League, that was a pretty good first step even though they didn't play with a full squad due to injuries.

Now Ancelotti has to be careful, because if one of their players gets injured again then it will be difficult for him to implement the strategy. For now the rotation he did is bearing fruit, he can maintain it until his players come back from injury.
