La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[chigo]

Anything can happen but I am confident Girona will continue to win matches, except when they face Barcelona because since the season began, Girona has not faced a great team in the La Liga expect Real Madrid, and they show Girona they are the strongest team in the league. Girona coach Sánchez is doing an excellent job with the team, and I believe that even if they do not win the La Liga trophy, they will be able to qualify for the Champions League next season. Girona's next game against Athletic Club will be difficult because Athletic are performing well in the league, but even if Girona wins the game, it will not be easy for them because Real Sociedad is on their tail, and if Real Sociedad defeats Sevilla and Girona wins their match against Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad will top them with some points, my opinion Girona's match against Athletic Bilbao will end in a draw.

Girona vs Bilbao head to head history is very long and it can be said that the two teams have equal strength, Facing Bilbao this time, I'm also sure it won't be an easy matter for Girona, Bilbao will definitely continue to try hard to hold the match until it ends with a draw

However, on paper, Girona's winning percentage is quite high, reaching 43%, which is actually quite convincing, but lower your expectations because anything can happen in this match

[Ryu_Ar1]

It is clear that Real Sociedad is still the favorite against Sevilla because Real Sociedad has been able to surprise since last season and Sevilla is still with the same results and has not shown significant improvement. Apart from that, in the last 5 matches Sevilla got a draw for all of them and that made them only collect 5 points, it is very regrettable in total they could have achieved 15 points if they had swept clean with a win. Even though it will be quite difficult for Sevilla because they often play with draws, I don't think Real Sociedad needs to worry because they have a sharp attack line, especially as Takefusa Kubo is still consistent up to now and can be the deciding factor for the team's victory.

The fact that Sociedad is the favorite is obvious simply from the fact that Sociedad have almost twice as many points and they are playing at home. In such a situation, Sociedad's win quote of 1.75 looks like a gift. Of course, as always, the bookmakers have more information, but I see no reason why Sevilla should have such high odds of a double chance in this game.

Apart from playing at home, Sociedad also has a pretty good performance when compared to Sevilla but indeed looking at the series of results that Sevilla has, which in the last 5 matches they can always get a draw including when facing Madrid, I think this is another reference.
There is nothing wrong with the current match favourite but with Sevilla's condition which is sometimes difficult to guess then I think the chance for a draw is also quite large in this match so this allows other options in the bet to be made.

For now, I only think that Girona will only finish in the top four of the standings, because I think they difficulty to win the La Liga trophy if they can't beat Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. Let's say forcing the three teams to share points in each of their future meetings, if that can't happen, whatever the scenario, it will be difficult for Girona to be at the top of the standings until the end of the season.

For the next few weeks, it is very likely that Girona will not drop points. Because we believe that they only lose points when they meet one of the three clubs above, but I don't rule out the possibility that luck could be on their side, that can happen in football.

The match percentage still puts Girona ahead of Bibao, even though there is not a big difference. The preparations of both teams can be said to be very ready, because they have an international break. However, I think Michel squad will be able to secure full points in the match, because they have the advantage of playing at home.

Vinicius has been got injured before and if i am not mistaken Ancelotti was played Joselu as the striker along with Rodrygo and for attacking midfielder Brahim Díaz probably can replace Bellingham position although Brahim Díaz cannot able to performing well just like Bellingham but at least Ancelotti has a player who can be played as the replacement of Bellingham so far these strategy was succesfull but Real Madrid was lucky because senior players just like Toni Kroos or Luca Modric were in the good shape so these players can be played as the replacement of Tchouameni and Camavinga who got injured first and i know this is not the best strategy because Kroos or Modric sometimes unable to performing well but Ancelotti doesn't have many options to rotate the squad

Yep. Ancelotti ever used Rodrygo-Joselu-Brahim Díaz for the alternative of Real Madrid attackers. They are not bad if Real Madrid play against average or weak teams. Joselu can play as the striker (CF), meanwhile Brahim Díaz can play as left winger or right winger. So, Real Madrid can use the formation of 1 striker and 2 wingers again. There is also good news, Arda Güler has recovered from the injury. Arda Güler can be another alternative for the attackers, he can play as attacking midfielder and right winger.  

For the midfield line, Real Madrid still has 4 available players (Kross, Modric, Valverde, Ceballos). I think there is no problem with the option of midfielders. 4 players are enough, Kross-Modric-Valverde seems the best option for the midfield line. I think Ancelotti still can use a strong formation for Real Madrid midfield line.

What makes me feel worried is on the option of goalkeeper. Both Courtois and Kepa are injured, Real Madrid only has Andriy Lunin as the alternative. TBH, I'm not sure he is strong enough if Real Madrid plays against a top team in La Liga or UCL.

However, on paper, Girona's winning percentage is quite high, reaching 43%, which is actually quite convincing, but lower your expectations because anything can happen in this match

Expecting too much is just a way of setting yourself up for disappointment so it's usually better you just expect anything by keeping an open mind to whatever possible outcome the match may bring especially when it between two teams as this, one which could be considered average.

Girona is currently at the top of the table with a very excellent record this season, they have lost none of their last five most recent matches and it looks like their confidence is now strong as even Real Madrid is below the on the table, Athletico bibao who has been pretty fair this season isn't  a week team and I consider them a little above average and may most likely want to get a draw because Girona will be playing from home but then going by H2H stats they have most often Ben abel to get goals again GIrona so mlat likely both team should gat a goal by the end of the match but Girona still remains most probable to win.

Let's say forcing the three teams to share points in each of their future meetings, if that can't happen, whatever the scenario, it will be difficult for Girona to be at the top of the standings until the end of the season.

You don't have to wait long for Girona to slip up, just wait when they are completely beaten by Bilbao or Barcelona and Real Madrid will reap the benefits. Girona cannot always escape the huge pressure that exists, it comes from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so the top position is never safe for Girona.

Girona's defeat is more likely to be expected than a win. Not sure if there are any Girona fans among the posters in this thread, but there always seems to be support for them against weak teams. This week, Girona received a big challenge from Bilbao. I'm sure they will slip up, but let's see what happens.

The match percentage still puts Girona ahead of Bibao, even though there is not a big difference. The preparations of both teams can be said to be very ready, because they have an international break. However, I think Michel squad will be able to secure full points in the match, because they have the advantage of playing at home.

I'm not sure about that, but I'll wait for the results.

Maybe Sevilla's series of draws has made their double chances also increase, so maybe that's why Sevilla are quite the favorites if there is a draw again. But I think that will definitely not happen again and the series of draws will definitely end with Real Sociedad winning later. I'm not taking Sevilla lightly, it's just that they can't do much with their progress so far. They will not give any surprises other than defeat and it is quite difficult for them to be able to show positive results through this match. So at least there will be a narrow win in this match with a score of 2-1 or more than that.

Sevilla seems to have made one of the unique statistics on the standings board in that their last 5 matches ended in a draw. And that is something that may not be very good for them because they could not secure maximum points in the last 5 matches they have played. In the upcoming match, Sevilla will travel to the Anoeta stadium to face Real Sociedad. This match is certainly quite difficult for Sevilla because they are having difficulty winning. I will see that Real Sociedad, who is currently in 6th place in the standings, will try to get full points when they face Sevilla in front of their own supporters.

In terms of their performance statistics this season in LaLiga, of course Real Sociedad performed better compared to Sevilla, so for this upcoming match I think Real Sociedad will be able to beat Sevilla. Under the coaching of Diego Alonso, Sevilla have not been able to achieve a single win in La Liga. So the upcoming match will be quite crucial for Diego Alonso because if he fails to bring Sevilla to victory then his performance as Mendilibar successor will certainly not change Sevilla performance because for failing to deliver victory.

[GbitG]

Now considering Gavi current absence will be very long because of his injury so they have to find a versatile player like Gavi to be able to handle the midfield and attack well.
~~

Yes, it is very worrying that now Barcelona needs a player to fill up Gavi's place because, in Gavi's absence, he can have a big impact on Barcelona's midfield because Gavi is a crucial player in Barcelona's starting line-up. Whoever used to help Barcelona a lot in tactics and game play can see a good impact on Barcelona from his injury. Moreover, first Frenki De Jong and now Gavi's injury can affect Barcelona's performance because Barcelona has three good midfielders who help in the attack, and if injuries continue like this, I think Barcelona will lose. Can present a hurdle in winning the La Liga as well as UEFA in the Champions League. So Barcelona should bring some players to help the team until Gavi recovers. According to some media news, Barcelona wants to sign Gio Lo Celso in the January transfer window to replace Gavi until he recovers.

I'm not sure about that, but I'll wait for the results.

Amongst the next six they'll be facing I'm not disturbed they'll lose these points to Atletico Bilbao, Alaves and some underdogs. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are my biggest problem. But if they can turn big games and share points with them it wi be awesome.
Personally, I feel like it'll be a tough game for Bilbao and bot side will get to score themselves as they play this game. With Girona at the top, everyone will try to stop them from ascending higher.
And don't expect too much from Barcelona and Real Madrid, they've lost huge and core players in the squad.

[AakZaki]

Since he was rarely played in the main squad and what's the point to stay even longer in the club? That doesn't even make sense. Barcelona needs to put more players for sale caused by club is solely in the need of money.
This club has so many debts that is still being unpaid.

It seems Xavi is a little calm because De Jong has recovered from an ankle injury, he is ready to play against Rayo. De Jong has already been seen in team training. Another hope is that there will be no additional injuries for Barcelona. Looking at the history of the game, Rayo can always make it difficult for Barcelona with a down defense. They piled up players and waited to counterattack. There is news that Barcelona will not defend this season break, even though many of their players are injured.

[Rengga Jati]

Anything can happen but I am confident Girona will continue to win matches, except when they face Barcelona because since the season began, Girona has not faced a great team in the La Liga expect Real Madrid, and they show Girona they are the strongest team in the league. Girona coach Sánchez is doing an excellent job with the team, and I believe that even if they do not win the La Liga trophy, they will be able to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Well, yeah, so far, Girona has mostly played against lower-middle teams. And it's still a bit of a hit with top clubs. So, it will be very challenging for them again when they meet Barcelona. Previously, they failed against Real Madrid, and that's natural. So, Girona must try even more optimally if they want to continue to be in top standing. In fact, even though they haven't played many top clubs, at least they are very consistent and always achieve their optimal results when playing against other teams. And this is very important for a club to continue to improve its consistency. So that they don't waste many opportunities. Girona is quite solid in this area, although not that strong, all matches and attacks are very effective.

[Belarge]

Now considering Gavi current absence will be very long because of his injury so they have to find a versatile player like Gavi to be able to handle the midfield and attack well.
~~

Bad news to hear about key players sustaining injuries and unavailable for club games which is consider to be important for these players. But on a second thought, how did these players picked up an injury during international games, did they plan to engaged in dirty tackles or they're just pulling fake news just for the purpose of Christmas. Xavi Hernandez will sort out Gavi replacement in the January transfer market. Things are going to be a little bit rough for the coach and the team this season, most of the key man are injured and bouncing back to games with full fitness is questionable.

Girona is of course aware that they will not be able to maintain the top of the standings. Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to stick closely to each other from then on and a draw will really affect the team mentally. I naturally expect a lot from Real Madrid and Barcelona because in reality these two teams are the ones who most often get out of pressure and get the best achievements.

Bilbao, Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Alaves and Real Betis are the opponents that Girona will have to face until the end of the year. I can guess that Girona will lose 3 out of 5 games especially against Bilbao, Barcelona and Real Betis, but they are too good for Alaves and Valencia.

[Sakanwa]

I said it from the beginning,that the kind of work Xavi has to do now is much more than the one he did last year because he has more than one team competing fiercely with him for the Lalliga tittle this season,and moreover,Madrid are more serious this season because they don't want Xavi to win the league back to back, especially now that they have a young and energetic team that is willing to do any thing possible to be at the top.Xavi must devise a mean in which he has to deal with this injury crisis before it will be the cause of their drop in performance.
I really love the healthy competition between the teams in the Lalliga now.

[Leviathan.007]

Honestly, I don't really like saying things as frontally as you say. especially for Girona, although we agree on this point. I don't see the time for Girona, even to stay in the top four of the standings until this season ends, it will take a lot of effort and hard work. The only advantage they have from my point of view, Girona is not busy with a busy schedule. Plus, a good wind is blowing on their squad.
But nevertheless, what they have done so far is worthy of appreciation. because in reality it is not easy to sit at the top of the standings, even though they are only two points ahead of Real Madrid. In particular, currently several Madrid players have suffered injuries while playing matches with their national team.

It's no different from Barcelona, ​​one of their mainstay players also seems to have to be sidelined for an undetermined period of time. and this is what is unique about football, we will not know for sure which team will finish at the top at the end of the season. it could be Girona, after all in football anything can happen. Also, don't forget that there are other teams like ATM who will take advantage of the momentum of the situation that is happening to their rival team. although I still believe and believe that it is likely that Real Madrid and Barcelona will win the La Liga trophy this season. Let's just enjoy it, maybe it will add to the excitement of the competition.

Girona has what it takes to remain in top 4. They’ve proven that in 13 weeks of Game play coming short to only La Liga giants, Real Madrid, they’ll face some huge tests over the next 2-3 weeks where they face Barcelona and Atletic Bilbao. However, Girona is a team who would pull up surprises and in football surprises are bound to happen. Let’s just sit tight and enjoy the beautiful game of football.

 They would remain in top 4 position owing to the fact that when this team play, you say a team who is hungry and want European football and want to make themselves known and coupled with the fact that they’re having less schedules as a result reducing risk of injury but let’s not take away the fact that we have 2 injured dogs, Real Madrid and Barcelona who could haunt down Girona and there’s a silent pistol, Atletico Madrid that could take the whole injury situation to their advantage and battle it out with Girona for top spot.

Maybe one reason for Girona to have a good performance and be the first team of La Liga is because of the situation in Real Madrid and Barcelona, for cample in Real Madrid unfortunately their goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is still not in the good form to play for this team and Andriy Lunin played for Real Madrid in the last game they had.
Arrizabalaga had some time to get back in the good form but it seems this goalkeeper will be absent against Cadiz and Napoli in the two next games they are going to have.

Arrizabalaga had some time to get back in the good form but it seems this goalkeeper will be absent against Cadiz and Napoli in the two next games they are going to have.

I don't think so because Girona didn't take advantage of the unstable situation of Real Madrid or Barcelona because Girona has shown their best strength since the start of this season. So I'm not looking for a way to say that Girona is greater when Real Madrid and Barcelona are not at their best. Even for Real Madrid, they are quite strong because Bellingham and Barcelona performed well at the start of this season, but their inconsistency made them fail to maintain their ranking in the standings table.

In this season, in the race for the title, it is certain that Girona will be able to disrupt Barcelona and Real Madrid because these two teams are the teams that dominate the competition for the title every season. I want to see Girona can maintain their good performance in every match because winning the title is not an easy thing to beat Real Madrid or Barcelona. I also want to see Atletico Madrid join the ranks of teams competing for the title this season.

Arrizabalaga had some time to get back in the good form but it seems this goalkeeper will be absent against Cadiz and Napoli in the two next games they are going to have.

I don't think so. Girona has been performing so well since the early season. There's no relationship between it and the performance from elreal and barcelona. These big clubs in la liga were performing so well since the early season as well. It doesn't even make sense to mention that if barcelona and real madrid become one of factor that was pushing the performance from girona at this moment. It has no relationship and it's too fast to think that if girona played better due to that factor. I don't even believe it to happen

[TelolettOm]

Because of this unusual occurrence, doubts arise about Girona, I mean because the team that usually wins La Liga is Real Madrid or Barcelona, so when there is another team besides them the question arises of how likely it is for this team to succeed in getting the La Liga title, it turns out that so far Girona is still showing very good things, they only lost to Real Madrid and interestingly after that defeat they immediately bounced back in the next match by beating the teams that were their opponents, so Girona was quite surprising this season, without a list of star players without spending fantastic money in the transfer market and the one who succeeded in making Girona a strong team this season was Míchel, Girona's head coach, who was able to build his team well, and facing Athletic Bilbao it will again be a stake whether Girona will succeed in maintaining first place in the standings because their opponent is quite tough.

I can understand some people doubt it because it rarely happens. Moreover, there are no star players in Girona squad and their squad depth looks unconvincingly. So, it is rather doubtful that Girona will stay a long time in the 1st place of La Liga standings. Many people assume they are just lucky, they can survive in the top of table because many teams in La Liga are decreasing their performance this season. But if we look the previous matches, Girona played impressively, it is not only about luck but Girona team has a good quality. They can play well a solid team although there is no very dominant players. I saw in some matches, they only won the match with small scores (1-2 goals).

Yes, what Girona coach did is amazing. He can optimize the potential of this team although they have no top players. It is totally about the tactics and the solidity among the players.

[rahmad2nd]

I said it from the beginning,that the kind of work Xavi has to do now is much more than the one he did last year because he has more than one team competing fiercely with him for the Lalliga tittle this season,and moreover,Madrid are more serious this season because they don't want Xavi to win the league back to back, especially now that they have a young and energetic team that is willing to do any thing possible to be at the top.Xavi must devise a mean in which he has to deal with this injury crisis before it will be the cause of their drop in performance.
I really love the healthy competition between the teams in the Lalliga now.

Like Real Madrid, they also have many players who are injured. These two teams are the same, they don't benefit from their players playing matches with their respective national teams. In fact, the one who actually has the most injured players is Real Madrid. There are two new Madrid players who have been absent for quite a long time, namely, Vini Jr and Camavinga. If my reference is not wrong, these two players are scheduled to return in January 2024. apart from that, there are other players such as Militao, Guler, Courtois, who are likely to need time to recover.

While Barcelona, ​​referring to the same source, only Gavi is confirmed to be absent for a long time. De Jong and Ser Stegen are scheduled to recover in the next 1-2 weeks. for Sergio Roberto, this player is not very important. Well, looking at this situation, the advantage is actually the other team. it could be for Girona, or Atletico Madrid.
referring to what you said, since the start of the season Xavi has prepared his squad to be more competitive than last season. The problem is, previously several of their players were injured. But now only Gavi needs time and a recovery process, the other players are scheduled to be ready to play their matches, including Pedri. So, let's see which team remains consistent in playing match after match in this competition.

[Leviathan.007]

How is it possible? barcelona is still in the financial trouble. Even if the club will put some young players for sale and it will not enough since barcelona is still having unpaid debt. Barcelona is likely able to buying the cheap striker from another club.
I don't believe if barcelona will able to get lots of money to buy the new players again. Im thiking that if barcelona will find difficult to do that as barcelona has obligation to pay the money owe by the club from other club.
Barcelona is still having a lot of unsolved problems.

That is why I mentioned that optionally they could go for one or two players on loan contracts if they see some good fits but can't mobilize the financial resources to buy that player. But usually when a club wants to get rid of a player during the winter transfer window, there are also reasons behind those decisions. They can cross of those players from their payroll and get a transfer fee. It depends on negotiations and all circumstances but sometimes it can make sense to compensate for situations like the one that Barcelona is now dealing with because of Gavi.

Deco, the sporting director of Barcelona is very sad to see the situation of Gavi and he starts talking about this player. Gavi will be away for 7 to 9 months and Barcelona is trying to find an alternative player for Gavi and they are searching La Masia for a player but Deco said there is no player to fill the place of Gavi in Gacelona and they are very sad to see this happened for their player.
