La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[xzone]

Barcelona didn't quite alright give their best in their last La Liga encounter against Atletico Madrid. They couldn't use the home advantage to their favor although their visitors ensured they defended Barcelona's only goal to the last. For their next game against Girona, Girona is also in the top stand and they have the capacity to take the game to the last level and draw against Barcelona. Although normally the host advantage ought to pay off but I don't think Barcelona themselves too would allow points to slip by.

 The club knows how's competitive the game would be and they'd do whatever it takes to ensure that they don't get a loss. None of the two teams would entertain a loss, so it's very much best that they end with a share of points. Both teams are currently on the same range of play, Girona still can outshine Barcelona as a result of the fact that they've been up and running this season and then Barcelona can be not too much confident due to the fact that they'd be the visitors and Girona who lost to Madrid would want to uphold a win and still maintain the 2nd spot on the Spanish league table.

The main issue Barcelona were having in that match was the fact that they failed to convert some really good chances to goal and Atletico could not even convert theirs also though Barca had more open chances to score.
The match against girona may not be easy and they may be the better team who failed to win just because they weren't able to convert their chances to goals while girona might be able to make good of theirs.

Girona is playing very well this year, perhaps the best team in the league. Barcelona, on the other hand, is a team that has always had high expectations, but has not achieved complete success, losing too many points due to simple mistakes. If Barcelona makes a mistake in this match, Girona will not forgive and will score a goal. If they want to be champions, they need to win their matches against good teams, as will be the case in this match.
It will be a match in which Barcelona will have difficulty

It will be a match in which Barcelona will have difficulty

The match is unpredictable yet because nobody knows how Barca will perform in that match. I would have said that Barca will win the match but with their recent challenge that they are facing due to injury of some players that has made them to decline in performance, might make it difficult for them to win Girona.

Girona is a club that nobody expected to be very challenging this season with their consistent performance this season will play their best to make sure that they can secure all three points or to share points with Barca by drawing the match. It is possible that Girona might win Barca because they are in a good form and Barca is not.

[Oluwa-btc]

However, Girona, who now appears confident unlike last season, is now certain to want to replace Real Madrid. and of course the goal is to become champion this season.

Girona becoming Laliga champions is not impossible, but it will be very difficult because they are competing with teams that can be said to always dominate in this league every season.
Girona failed when they faced Real Madrid even though it was a home match for them, so what about when they face Barcelona, my prediction is that if they can make a surprise in the match by beating Barcelona then that will be enough to lift the confidence of the Girona squad to perform even better when facing other strong teams such as Atletico Madrid, and doubts about Girona will begin to diminish because slowly they can prove that their current position is not the result of luck but excellent teamwork.

Given their big opponents, their season has been exceptional. They struggled against Real Madrid at home, but thats just one game. When they play Barcelona, they can change everything. Defeating Barcelona would strengthen the team's and fans' confidence. Its about showing they can compete with the best, not just the points. Their impressive performance versus Valencia shows they're not lucky - they're skilled and team-oriented. Who knows if they can continue this momentum into the Barcelona game and beyond? This season may have a new champion!

I really don't see Girona lifting the laliga title, in as much as I wouldn't want to talk down on any team owing to the fact that sometimes wonders do happen in football just like in case of Leicester city in the premier league some years ago, but I still do not envisage Girona winning it, perhaps it's still too early to decide because there are many game to go and many more big teams to play against and I doubt if they are going to beat any one of these big teams like Barca, Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid, real Sociedad, or Sevilla even if they are in a poor form at the moment.

They're having a nice ride this season and they should be happy of that, but with talks of winning and raising the Spanish La Liga? Everybody can dream of lifting but they'll have to go through the process gradually and successful phase through all of the problematic clubs they face. It's interesting seeing them at the top, it's motivation that anyone can go up, you just need believe in yourself while you keep going.

It's also just too early to say a team would become winners. I'd love them to be amongst the top four of not top five clubs at the end of the season. Barcelona remains my number 1 prediction.

If Barcelona is able to play like in the Atletico match, even though the results are slim. however, Barcelona really controlled the match in midfield. Felix, can be considered a hero when he overthrew Atletico Madrid. but in fact, in 90 minutes Gundohan was the one who really played very impressively in that match. including De Jong, who is starting to adapt to the German player. Likewise with Pedri's role, which was quite impressive even though he was absent for quite a long time. These 3 midfielders will control the course of Barcelona's match against Girona.
and I think as Girona coach, Michel is very aware of his opposing team. Instead of Felix having to be strictly marked, the same goes for Lewandowski or Raphinha. However, Barcelona's game is now starting to look good. Unfortunately, Lewandowski, as the goal finisher, is experiencing a few problems with his sharpness.

As for Girona, so far Michel's squad has been quite productive in scoring goals, and we'll find out how they do when they play away to Camp Nou. where, Barcelona has a fairly strong defense. Can Girona maintain or get full points, this is the challenge. for sure, they will work hard for it. Unfortunately, Barcelona is superior and I conclude that the match will be controlled by the Barcelona players. So, the problem is how the front line players finish this match smoothly. There are no other words, other than let's just wait for this match to take place.

La Liga this year is very competitive and strangely enough Girona is holding that first place after so many games despite losing at home against Real Madrid.They have found that mentality that are founding late goals in almost every single game and that mentality is the mentality of a winning team who never surrenders before the end whistle.

It would be nice for them to win it La Liga and even if they don't do so I am pretty sure they will be able to be in the top 4 in the end of the season which would be a huge achievement for them as they will be playing in Champions League next year,for a team like Girona this will be a dream come true.

The main issue Barcelona were having in that match was the fact that they failed to convert some really good chances to goal and Atletico could not even convert theirs also though Barca had more open chances to score.
The match against girona may not be easy and they may be the better team who failed to win just because they weren't able to convert their chances to goals while girona might be able to make good of theirs.

You are right, Barcelona had several good opportunities to double their lead against Atletico Madrid, but unfortunately their players' finishing was less than satisfactory. Barcelona played better than Atletico Madrid at that time in building attacks, but Barcelona also performed well in defense when Atletico Madrid took over the attack.

In truth, Girona is not stronger than Atletico Madrid, but they are a good team this season. It's absolutely bad to underestimate Girona even though they were a team that had promotion status last season, but this season Girona is a strong contender in the top four. I personally believe that Barcelona can take advantage of home advantage against Girona, meaning Barcelona's chances of winning look good in my opinion.

[bitpotter]

However, Girona's achievements so far are not easy because they have occupied the second position which is usually occupied by Barcelona and now they have become Barcelona's substitute to compete with Real Madrid. I think this will also be a determining factor for Girona to further widen the distance from Barcelona if they win and if they lose, of course the result will be that they will be easier to catch. But again, this is an away match for Girona and it seems that just holding Barcelona to a draw is a pretty good result for them.

[Sakanwa]

Not a bad week, Girona will be playing against Barcelona, that should be a fun game because everyone thinks that Girona is a great team but I think that they are not all that great, I believe that they are not actually all that good neither. I understand that the points they collected so far makes them feel like they are a good team but when they face Barcelona the real result will show itself.

I think Athletico Madrid will not have trouble against Almeira neither, and I think Madrid should beat Betis easily as well, so far this week it looks like quite good teams and good matchups, Bilbao may end up beating Granada as well that's true and could be wagered as well if you want to, feels like a good win weekend for us.

I don't know how some persons see football,you are under- estimating Girona,but forget that they have been ontop of the league for a while,and are still playing a better football to show that they are serious and they mean business,and are up to something this season.However,I know the game is really going to be a tough match,and it won't be easy for Barca to win them like that,rather,it would end in a draw,but I still think with the way Girona are playing,they have a chance of grabbing the three points in this encounter.
Barcelona are playing really well,but when it comes to scoring goals,they find it difficult in that area because Lewandowski is no longer in the kind of form he was last season.If I am to give my prediction on this game,I will go for a draw.

[indah rezqi]

The match is unpredictable yet because nobody knows how Barca will perform in that match. I would have said that Barca will win the match but with their recent challenge that they are facing due to injury of some players that has made them to decline in performance, might make it difficult for them to win Girona.

It is possible that Girona might win Barca because they are in a good form and Barca is not.

It is very possible to happen, and we have seen many surprises happen all the time, it is not impossible if Girona can beat Barcelona. However, on paper it is clear that Barcelona is superior, and I think most would agree with that opinion. Because we have seen Girona lose points when facing big teams, I mean they lost to Madrid. Of course it can't be used as a full reference because it's only one match, but I have a tendency that Xavi will try to shave points off the current leaders, that's his real ambition this time.

Girona presence in the top four is certainly a problem for other clubs, especially for the three leading teams in La Liga, Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. Also, the club is targeting one slot for the UCL, which is usually left by the three favorite teams mentioned above. The presence of Girona, which is getting stronger day by day, of course Xavi must be careful about in the future, but I am quite sure that Barcelona can secure 3 points to reduce the point difference with Madrid at the top of the standings.

[lalabotax]

This will be quite a tough match for Girona. Indeed, they have been quite consistent so far, but when compared to Barcelona's strength, they are still quite above Girona. I personally hope that Girona can excel. but it is indeed quite difficult to realize. Moreover, they will play at home to Barcelona. This will definitely have a big influence. And I am sure enough that Barcelona will struggle optimally because they don't want to lose when playing at home.

It is difficult for Girona to beat Barcelona who are playing at home, but it is possible if Barcelona makes a lot of mistakes. So far Barcelona has played well at home in a number of matches, but considering that Girona has a good performance, maybe Barcelona could drop points.

Of course, because there is a difference in the actual strength of the two clubs. But as you said, if Barcelona makes quite fatal mistakes and they underestimate Girona, then this will not be good for Barcelona. However, Barca definitely wants a win to reduce the points gap with their main rival, Real Madrid. But to be honest, I'm also curious about what Girona can do to at least hold off Barcelona.

Apart from Barcelona vs Girona, actually Betis vs Real Madrid will also be interesting. Real Madrid should have won if we look at the strength of their squad and their consistency. But on the other hand, Betis is playing at their home ground and will definitely support everything so they can beat or even surpass Real Madrid. However, I personally still believe that Madrid can win.

With the match currently going into the middle of the season, such great confidence is actually good, it's just that sometimes there are some conditions that are likely to be very difficult to guess.

Even though Girona is currently in very good condition and in high confidence but that does not mean they can still be sure to remain consistent at this time.

The situation cannot be guessed easily even though the great chance to be able to compete for a position in the top 4 is very visible but don't forget that in the end some other dark horse clubs can overtake such as Socieadad which in a few seasons has always experienced an increase in performance.
Next week's match will be a very good test for Girona because in the end if they want something more in the standings then they must be able to play well even against big club like Barcelona in week 16 La Liga.

Week 16's match was a difficult match for Barcelona and Girona. It would be unfair to underestimate Girona when they visit Barcelona, ​​obviously because we all know how well Girona has performed so far. No one has been able to beat Girona in the last 15 matches apart from Real Madrid, so this is the clearest proof why Girona is very serious about the competition this season.

Girona will want to have fun in their away match against Barcelona, ​​so they will not mind losing. Losing is normal when they play against the best team last season, but Girona and their coach certainly really hope to be able to bring home points at home by Barcelona.

With the current situation I think it would be very naive if anyone still underestimated Girona when playing against some big clubs.
Girona are currently beyond the expectations of many people which makes this a little difficult especially with the quality of players even though there are no star players in it but their cohesiveness and confidence at this time is still very large because of the positive achievements that have always been maintained from the beginning of the season.

Barcelona are definitely the favorites in this match but for the troublesome problem this will be a match that I don't think we can even guess this is for whose victory especially with the situation of Barcelona who are still having problems in attack and the strength of Girona's midfield which is quite strong there could be a surprise in this match.

[Weawant]

Apart from Barcelona vs Girona, actually Betis vs Real Madrid will also be interesting. Real Madrid should have won if we look at the strength of their squad and their consistency. But on the other hand, Betis is playing at their home ground and will definitely support everything so they can beat or even surpass Real Madrid. However, I personally still believe that Madrid can win.

I personally think that most persons are of the opinion thst Real Madrid will definitely win betis,and thats why more attention has not been given to that game when come to discussion and speculations. But then real Madrid will most likely be faced with a game that will be slightly hard but I'm optimistic they will most likely win.

Barcelona on the other hand has in recent times shown some weakness I'm their performance which have further casued some attention to be focused on them because they definitely want to know how well Barcelona will be able to perform against Girona who have aswell kept good record so far in the bundesliga and are definitely presented as a strong team due to their recent performance in the la Liga this season.

[ShowOff]

Not a bad week, Girona will be playing against Barcelona, that should be a fun game because everyone thinks that Girona is a great team but I think that they are not all that great, I believe that they are not actually all that good neither. I understand that the points they collected so far makes them feel like they are a good team but when they face Barcelona the real result will show itself.

I think Athletico Madrid will not have trouble against Almeira neither, and I think Madrid should beat Betis easily as well, so far this week it looks like quite good teams and good matchups, Bilbao may end up beating Granada as well that's true and could be wagered as well if you want to, feels like a good win weekend for us.

Barcelona are playing really well,but when it comes to scoring goals,they find it difficult in that area because Lewandowski is no longer in the kind of form he was last season.If I am to give my prediction on this game,I will go for a draw.

On the other hand, indirectly you seem to have underestimated Barcelona who will play at home. Barcelona is the best team compared to Girona, even Girona themselves will not say they are better than Girona for whatever reason. I am not leading an opinion that belittles any team, including Girona, but on paper Barcelona is the better team.

Just because Girona has more points in the last 15 matches than Barcelona, ​​that doesn't make Girona completely superior against Barcelona. No one would dare bet $100 on Girona to draw against Barcelona, ​​unless you just want to throw away the money you won in the previous match. I'm sure of that, so I think some of you are just underestimating Barcelona and its capabilities.

I agree with this because underestimating Girona now is tantamount to Barcelona losing momentum and possibly losing.
Barcelona are still having problems in their midfield because some players will not be able to play and the attack, especially Lewandowski, is having problems but on the other hand their tiki taka can still run well, it's just that the finishing is poor and the flow of the ball is still not well controlled.
On the other hand, now Girona also has a very good quality of attack even until the middle of this season their goal productivity beat Madrid and Barcelona until week 15 even though the defense is still not too stable.
This could be a match that in my opinion anyone can win although surely Barcelona remains favored but Girona playing at home could surprise and make Barcelona lose points in this match.

In my opinion, Barcelona will defeat Girona in the match even if Barcelona is not performing well because they will not try to lose the match in the camp nuo I just think that even if Barcelona plays poor games, Girona can just share points with each other like playing a draw in the game but I just trust Xavi in will try his best to defeat Girona and continue chasing the league title, However, Barcelona cannot win the league because they have already made mistakes that led to Real Madrid defeating them at Camp Nou, and I don't think they can defeat them even if they come to Real Madrid's home becpause they are in good form and if Barcelona makes any mistakes and allows Girona to win, it will be a very shameful thing for coach Xavi because many of his key players have returned from injury and can perform well on the field.

Barcelona is the favorite in the match against Girona, but that will not affect the outcome of the match for either of them. In my opinion, Girona will not target victory against Barcelona because they are self-aware of the depth of their squad and also their experience in the league. Barcelona is certainly better and has balance in the team, while Girona is playing well because of the confidence of its players. The mentality of the two teams is very different, including the two coaches.

I think what is most indicative of a win for Barcelona would be their win against Atletico Madrid. If they can beat Atletico, of course they can beat Girona. But in this game it is not the question who the favorite is. Barcelona would be the favorite against anyone at home maybe except for Real Madrid. But the good news for Girona is that they can beat any team if they play their best game. Barcelona is far from being in the best condition, issues are there in almost all parts of the team. They are conceding more goals than usual, ter Stegen is injured, and goal scoring has declined quite significantly. Maybe this is the chance Girona has been waiting for.

However, I personally still believe that Madrid can win.

How shocking it was when Girona climbed to the top of La Liga. And they will be even more shocked if they win against defending champion Barcelona last season.
Where it is usually Barcelona, Real Madrid always dominates this tournament. While Atletico Madrid is a club that will wait for the opportunity, there is no other name. But Girona's opening 13 matches could have become a local legend for an unknown team. Did I exaggerate? Welcome to the new empire of Girona. Out of nowhere, Girona appeared as title contenders this year, even though they often had to fight to avoid relegation. Let's wait and see the surprises when they meet an unstable Barcelona.

I hope that Girona continues their winning streak and that the players avoid injuries, as their squad lacks depth. I love the solidarity of the whole team.

I agree with this because underestimating Girona now is tantamount to Barcelona losing momentum and possibly losing.
Barcelona are still having problems in their midfield because some players will not be able to play and the attack, especially Lewandowski, is having problems but on the other hand their tiki taka can still run well, it's just that the finishing is poor and the flow of the ball is still not well controlled.
On the other hand, now Girona also has a very good quality of attack even until the middle of this season their goal productivity beat Madrid and Barcelona until week 15 even though the defense is still not too stable.
This could be a match that in my opinion anyone can win although surely Barcelona remains favored but Girona playing at home could surprise and make Barcelona lose points in this match.

There's no need to underestimate each other and I never think either team thought that before the game.
Barcelona and Girona are both seriously looking at the match, but Barcelona, ​​who is playing at home, is expected to win the match. I don't need anyone's agreement on that, but personally Girona is not a really strong team when facing big teams that have a big history in La Liga like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Of course it would be great if Barcelona lost because it would be a spectacular achievement for Girona, but it is a hope that is likely to be difficult to come true. If you watched Barcelona's match against Atletico Madrid, then I think you will not underestimate Barcelona also at their home match against Girona in the next few days. However, the results are still difficult to predict.

[nurilham]

In my opinion, Barcelona will defeat Girona in the match even if Barcelona is not performing well because they will not try to lose the match in the camp nuo I just think that even if Barcelona plays poor games, Girona can just share points with each other like playing a draw in the game but I just trust Xavi in will try his best to defeat Girona and continue chasing the league title, However, Barcelona cannot win the league because they have already made mistakes that led to Real Madrid defeating them at Camp Nou, and I don't think they can defeat them even if they come to Real Madrid's home becpause they are in good form and if Barcelona makes any mistakes and allows Girona to win, it will be a very shameful thing for coach Xavi because many of his key players have returned from injury and can perform well on the field.

Barcelona performed quite well lately, they already only got 1 lose in the last 5 matches. So, we can expect that Barcelona will play in their best shape in the match against Girona. Moreover, Barcelona will play against them at home, they must have an extra motivation to beat Girona. Barcelona also need to get 3 points to try overtaking Girona in the 2nd place. I don't think Xavi will make a mistake again like they played against Real Madrid. Xavi must get enough lesson from the match.
