La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[skarais]

~~~

The defensive strategy came about because Barcelona played the same tiki taka scheme and the opposition in this case Girona knew that if they tried to hold up in the middle or in Barcelona's defensive area it would not be beneficial for them so they just had to wait for Barcelona to lose the ball and counter attack quickly.
It proved to be worth it and in this match we can see how Barcelona losing the ball or their chances not going well can be maximised more for Girona.
On the other hand, Xavi and Barcelona must be aware that their tiki taka is not as perfect as the golden era before so they must try new schemes if something like this happens again where their tikitaka does not work well then they still have other schemes that can be used as optional because the weakness of this kind of possession is only the opponent who strengthens the defence and waits for momentum like Girona did in this match.

I was very surprised by the performance of the Girona goalkeeper who was able to save 9 chances for Barcelona's 9 goals in that match. It was a fantastic performance and it clearly saved Girona from defeat. Barcelona performed well in that match, but all the players were very stressed because it was difficult to score goals. Barcelona fired 31 shots throughout the match, 11 of which were on target and 9 of which were saved by Paulo Gazzaniga.

It was a match that never lived up to Barcelona's expectations. They dominated but they lost, but of course there are important lessons from this defeat and Xavi must really be able to improve it in future matches. Joao Felix wasn't at his best, but Xavi let that slide for too long even though he was aware that Felix was losing so many balls at his feet.

There is just one match in La Liga today, Celta Vigo vs Rayo Vallecano. However, Celta Vigo will have to fight hard to turn their season around. Both teams need to work on their consistency and performances to climb the standings. With both teams eager to win, this match is a must watch.  Both the teams have not won a single match in their last five matches in the domestic league. While Rayo Vallecano is in 11th place in the table with 19 points, Celta Vigo is at the bottom of the points table.  But with Celta's recent record against Rayo and their strong defensive performance, they could potentially get a narrow win. I think Celta Vigo can beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1.

I think tonight match will be difficult for Rayo or Celta get full points, but Rayo who will play at home in my opinion, will probably be ahead. Considering that previously in the last home match this team was quite strong, because they can hold draw Barcelona.
Also, their position in the standings is better than Celta, so the possibility of Rayo losing in tonight match is quite small. Although on the other side, Celta performance is quite good based on head to head in the last five matches vs Rayo, but so far this season Celta is also having difficulty to collecting points.

We are about to reach the half of the season and Girona are in the lead in the standings now. That win over Barcelona was magnificent. I didn't give them a high chance to win honestly but that 4-2 win was a solid answer to me. Girona are currently the most productive team in the league as well with 38 goals. They are really trying their best to be a part of this title competition.

Their being able to maintain their presence in this competition makes me thrilled. However I'm curious about whether they will be able to keep the same level in the second half of the season as well. If they do so I can't imagine how amazing it would be for them to even win the league title.

Apart from the 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid, I have seen great performances f rom Girona players in every match. Girona players performed well against every team. They are playing well in both home and away matches. They won the away match  against Barcelona 4-2. It was Girona's best result of the season. With Girona progressing, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to hold onto the top spot in the points table. Girona team is still 2 points ahead of Real Madrid.

It must be admitted that Girona's performance this season has been quite impressive since the start of the season, they have proven this in several matches against top La Liga teams and they proved it again by beating Barcelona at home, this is quite extraordinary.
I watched the match and indeed Girona deserved to win the match because their team's performance was much better.

The standing of Girona in the top position of the laliga table is a deserving one attained by an offensive performance and zeal for the title race throughout the beginning of this season. In that game against Barcelona, Girona did played better than their opponent Barca who were playing like a team not prepared for the game as such never expected the threat Girona were coming with to Camp Nou. I admired the solidness and strength of the Girona's team, but what I fear for is just how consistent they can hold this spirit towards to till the end of the season because sitting at the top of the league table comes with a lot of pressure from all sides in maintaining the status quo.

With Girona progressing, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to hold onto the top spot in the points table. Girona team is still 2 points ahead of Real Madrid.

Girona have turned into the most ambitious team this season, they immediately rose after learning valuable lessons from Real Madrid. Girona increasing performance has reminded football fans of Leicester City when they won the EPL title. They have a standard squad without the most prominent star players in their team, but are able to maintain consistent performance in every match.

Girona was so strong at Camp Nou, they managed to break into Barcelona goal four times, this victory was a good record for Girona and also taught Barcelona how to take advantage of opportunities in front of the opponent's goal. Girona continues to overshadow Real Madrid in second place, Girona presence, which always displays consistent play, makes Real Madrid increasingly uneasy at the top of the standings.

They should not be too happy and comfortable, the great journey has just begun. They've been consistent and the loss to Real Madrid dis not stop them from going hard on other clubs and fixtures in the Premier League. Since it's them best season, they should make sure that they win a trophy and not end up like Arsenal last season. Xavi Hernandez should take time to do the repairs around the defense.

Maybe the absence of Ter Stegen has a role to play in the lose from yesterday night. Camp Nou is not one easy ends to grab three points but Girona did very well. They're now a major force in the Spanish League. Defeating both underdogs and Top guns.

I bet to differ here as I thought that Girona does very well have a chance against a Barcelona that is not in great shape to say the least. Ter Stegen is gone and Lewandowski is not as good of a striker as he used to be. He is far from being the genius he was when he still played for Bayern Munich. Gavi is out for a while, too. Overall results are relatively bad and they have shown weakness in the Champions League when they lost against Shakhtar.

Girona is literally flying these days. They are hyped, motivated and they are extremely efficient in scoring goals. Half the number of attempts, double the number of goals and they have no Lewandowski. Barcelona in my opinion is out of the competition for the title. I don't think they can step up their game. I know it is early, but I think this will be Girona vs. Real Madrid for the title.

[budi691]

girona still amazng performance
last match meet away to barcelona is win wth score 2-4
and now still first leading in champonshin in laliga with 41 point

According to Transfermarket, they have spent only 22.5 million euros on transfers this season. Their budget is very low but their success is huge. City Football Group is doing things right. They were promoted to La Liga last season. Last season they finished 10th in the league. However, this year they are doing great things and they are among the strongest candidates for the title. I wouldn't be surprised if they finish ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona because they deserve it with the beautiful football they play. City Football Group is doing a very good job. I would like to see them in my country too.

Yes, Girona still very impressive so far but still, I think as time goes by that Real Madrid still have a chance to lock the top postition in La Liga standing . But even so, at least I still expect a new winner for the La Liga trophy and ya, I hope Girona do well this season. But for some reason, I think La Liga is about Real Madrid and Barcelona and also, the league is still long which still allows Real Madrid and Barcelona to be back in the title race.

Because yes, after all, Real Madrid and Barcelona certainly have a better winning mentality than Girona. At least, with this factor will make Real Madrid have the ability to continue to pressure Girona, which allows Girona to slip in the future. But ya, let's look forward to it because I'm sure there's a lot of hope for Girona this season.

We all hope that a new winner in La Liga will be something refreshing and can enrich the competition. Supporting Girona shows appreciation for the diversity and dynamics that exist in Spanish football. While big teams have a strong competitive advantage, surprises and success stories from other teams can provide additional appeal to the league.
We all know that the winning mentality that Real Madrid and Barcelona have is an important aspect. Their experience in dealing with pressure in crucial matches and managing difficult situations could be an advantage in this crucial phase of the season. But football is sometimes full of surprises, and Girona could be the team that provides a positive surprise.
We really have to wait to see how the La Liga journey continues, and whether Girona is able to maintain its impressive performance or whether Real Madrid and Barcelona are able to dominate again. Football always leaves room for surprises, and that's what makes it so exciting.

To me the home side lost that focus of getting everything done right from the first half, they some how underrated Girona. The way Barcelona played was like they have already secured all 3 point but when the visitors scored, that alone made them to sit up before Lewandowski got the equalizer. Then the joke started again, it wasn't what I expected from the home side.
I feel Girona can make it to the grand stage of the champions league and is not a dream, their (Girona) performance alone and zeal to get business done would tell, they can get it done I believe so.

In accordance with my predictions, Barcelona will experience defeat against , because from a mental and enthusiastic perspective in building attacks it is very clear that Girona dominates the game, Barcelona's crushing defeat is due to Barcelona's weak defense to the point that they are busy attacking and Girona's results able to rely on deadly counter attacks from several goals scored during the match.

Lewandowski, João Félix and Barcelona's reliable players were unable to do anything when they saw Girona's attack after attack which was unstoppable by Barcelona's defense, making the score continue to increase.

The disaster that occurred for Barcelona. losing with a fairly heavy score is actually a form of decline in performance although there are some people who must consider this a coincidence but I think this is purely from Barcelona who played poorly and they still have many gaps that must be thought of a way out.

Barcelona can't deny it and Xavi also can't deny that Barcelona really performed badly last night. At least admitting the big defeat that Barcelona experienced against Girona, it is very clear that Girona really dominated the game, even Barcelona seemed to be beaten by Girona players. , who is able to find fault in every mistake made by Barcelona's defenders, at least in this match XAVI was able to improve every line which according to him needed to be overhauled in the lines and players who were inconsistent in playing important matches.

[rendravolt]

Atletico achieved another promising victory against the current team in the relegation zone, namely Almeria. To be honest, Atletico could win with a big score, but here Almeria seems to be holding Atletico back from doing that and maybe they are trying to aim for a draw in this match. But unfortunately, even though Atletico didn't score another goal in the second half, Almeria didn't maximize this and they could only catch up with one goal. This result is very good for Atletico to match the temporary points tally with Barcelona and occupy 3rd place in the standings, while Almeria will still slump in the following week and they have a 7 point difference to be able to escape from the relegation zone.

But did anyone have a closer look at all the stats in that game. It's crazy how Almeria, who are ranked last in the La Liga table, played that game away from home against one of the best teams in the league. This is so clearly Atletico Madrid, win with the least amount of effort in the game. Almeria had 15:3 corners! Holy shit how is that possible against a team that plays at home and fights for the La Liga title. More shots and shots on target and if this team wasn't called Almeria, you could also think that Atletico Madrid played against Real Madrid. The win and three points for Atletico is one thing, but I doubt that Simeone was happy with how that game was played.

Certainly Simeone will not be happy enough with the win and maybe they have to learn from this match so that later the visiting team cannot pressure them with better opportunities. Atletico should have been able to pay attention to the progress of the match so that they could feel frustrated against Almeria but in fact Almeria is not a team that has a weak mentality in this away match and on the other hand they really need any points to be able to move away from the relegation zone. But unfortunately they have to try another opportunity because winning against Atletico is quite impossible.

[Roseline492]

Spanish League today Barcelona vs Girona in today's match between two teams, Girona team scored 4 goals and won the match. Barcelona team scored two goals in this match. I thought Barcelona team might not score any goals because Girona team played very well from the beginning to the end of the game.  But the goalkeeper of Girona team played very well. I lost the bet in this match. I placed the bet for the Barcelona team and did not win the bet. I liked the match between the two teams a bit because I lost the bet and I was upset.

If I had bet on this match I would have won because the match went exactly the way I predicted to be because with the current performance of Barcelona we are all aware that they may not have a good edge over Girona even if they were more stronger than Girona sometime ago but so long as this season is concerned Girona remains one of the La Liga best team of the season and however this wining has also given privileges over other teams on there table as they continues to lead the table.

Barcelona will never forget this easily, Girona started  scoring on the 12 minutes while Lewandowski was able to equalize on the 19 minutes and Girona scored again on there 40 minutes then it was the second half they score the remaining goals actually what a great performance by the Girona team.

[BIT-BENDER]

The manner at Which Girona plays in the Spanish la Liga shows how solid they are, I think they actually taking the Manchester city formation and their mode of attacking is really hard for anything including Barcelona to handle.

I think Xavi Hernandez is not yet technically gifted to handle such situations and Barcelona where always going to lose the game from the moment they conceded, I now think Girona is a solid team and they can actually be the Spanish champions if they continue like this

I thought Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid would compete for the La Liga title this year. But Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are slowly slipping back from the title race.

Atletico Madrid have a much stronger squad this season than they have in the past few seasons. I would say they have the most experienced players in La Liga right now in their forwards. At the same time, Atletico Madrid's midfield is also quite strong. If Simeone's match strategy is good and if the players can adapt themselves well to the match strategy, Atletico Madrid have the potential to still challenge for the title.

It was about time to finally have one team that was not expected to be at the top after almost half of the season has been played. It's nice to have teams who can surprise everyone and Girona is in that position. However, I don't know how many people knew that Girona has a lot of financial support, but how will that be handled by them and also the financial fair play rules, which are quite strictly enforced in La Liga. I assume they have a pretty small revenue and since spending is tied to revenue generated, I think they can't go for any large transfers. But if they can qualify for the Champions League now (don't want to talk about the title yet), maybe they can establish themselves long term at the top of La Liga.

I wasn't expected Barcelona would win the match before it started, because Girona has been playing better than Barcelona this season. Girona has made a strong start and Real Madrid has been the only club to defeated Girona this season. In the weekend matches, only Real Madrid as big club able to draw against their opponents, because most of the other leagues big clubs lost to small clubs. Yesterday, Girona played like they were playing at their own home, and Araujo was unable to hold Girona attackers. The way Xavi's players played, I don't think it will lead Barcelona to anywhere, even in Champions League. 

Girona is in the running for the Laliga championship alongside Real Madrid. Their play has shown that they are capable of winning the league, they currently sit atop of the league with 41 points, two points ahead of Real Madrid. If they keep up this level of play, I think they will also win the league, but they still have a long way to go because the Real Madrid players are returning from the injury.

[EarnOnVictor]

Apart from the 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid, I have seen great performances f rom Girona players in every match. Girona players performed well against every team. They are playing well in both home and away matches. They won the away match  against Barcelona 4-2. It was Girona's best result of the season. With Girona progressing, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to hold onto the top spot in the points table. Girona team is still 2 points ahead of Real Madrid.

Girona have turned into the most ambitious team this season, they immediately rose after learning valuable lessons from Real Madrid. Girona increasing performance has reminded football fans of Leicester City when they won the EPL title. They have a standard squad without the most prominent star players in their team, but are able to maintain consistent performance in every match.

Girona was so strong at Camp Nou, they managed to break into Barcelona goal four times, this victory was a good record for Girona and also taught Barcelona how to take advantage of opportunities in front of the opponent's goal. Girona continues to overshadow Real Madrid in second place, Girona presence, which always displays consistent play, makes Real Madrid increasingly uneasy at the top of the standings.

I can't help but shouting Girona multiple times in my mind now, this is just the kind of club competition that I love, not the sure guesses that a certain club will win the trophy and it would be so. Just like what is happening in the EPL now, I love it as clubs like Aston Villa are pushing higher just like Liverpool has fully recovered speedily, that's competition. Even at that, the case of Girona supersedes all those, it's just like the case of Leicester City in 2016, however, with the way I see these guys, they are in for a sure battle and will not likely degenerate the way Leicester City did in EPL. You can see the fire in the eyes of the players as they are very determined to win the trophy this season. I noticed these guys are just fearless, the morale is high as they face any club regardless of their status, that's the spirit. Besides, I just added myself as their fan of late, I can't just stop loving them for obvious reasons. They also did not disappoint my predictions, and despite the tough analysis between them and Barcelona, I still had my predictions right, although I wasn't straight with my preference yet I mentioned multiple times that Girona has all it takes to beat Barcelona and that I saw the two teams scoring at the same time.

Voila, these predictions are now true and I can't but wish Girona more fortunes and good luck this season. They've displaced Real Madrid lower as expected with just two points leading them, but still, I believe they would hold the top position for a longer duration of time, and I hope they will not douse this fire in them for any reason. You know what, as you can see, that match was a very lovely one for me ever since I saw across the betting boards the huge odds given to Girona if they won the match. Let me say this was a daring part of different gambling platforms as Barcelona doesn't have more than what Girona has that could afford them the winning and that could have warranted the huge odds against them. We can see this reality on the pitch as they scored twice during the first half with an almost-perfect feat when Barcelona scored once and could not even breach Girona's defence anymore, making it difficult for Barcelona to score after the first of the 19th minute. It was also a very brilliant retaliation when they (Girona) delivered their revenge goal after Barcelona scored their second goal even though they were already leading despite the goal. I loved it, the underdog team has done it again and has put the set odds on gambling sites to shame once again. I can't doubt if this club wins Real Madrid when they meet again, that will be the revenge for the last winning.

[slapper]

girona still amazng performance
last match meet away to barcelona is win wth score 2-4
and now still first leading in champonshin in laliga with 41 point

Regarding Girona's effort, you're exactly right! This season, they've been totally crushing it. They absolutely dominated in their win over Barcelona, especially since it happened away from home. For example, beating Barcelona 4–2 on their own land? That's the kind of things you inform your grandchildren! What really bothers me is how well they've been doing overall. Their recent luck isn't just a fluke; they're really showing class and skill. At the top of La Liga with 41 points, looking good? That's a big accomplishment.

I must admit, though, I'm not sure if they can keep up this pace. Although they are currently acting like champions, La Liga is a long-term competition, not a quick one. It will be hard for them to keep up this level of play all season, but who knows? If they can keep surprising us like they have so far,? Maybe a new sports powerhouse is on the rise

Spanish Champs are Barcelona but they don't imitates the energy level this season, othe than relenting performance. Feels good for Girona to reach the top with 41 points accumulated already, nothing is stopping this season, as they keep raising heights to excellent performance. Girona performance can only be rated with Real Madrid this season because they're on fire and outstanding, bringing the best performance to their matches. Beating Barcelona 4-2 is just the win they need to qualify for prominent phases in La Liga.

Barcelona, ​​as the defending champion this season, was humiliated in front of its supporters with a score of 2-4. Girona, who played a more careful game in that match, managed to make it difficult for Barcelona to score a goal. Imagine that Barcelona could take 31 shots in this match, of course they put pressure on Girona quite hard, but in reality Girona was able to recover from the pressure by successfully scoring a goal and emerging as the winner.

Not only is Real Madrid stressed by Girona rise to become a strong and fairly consistent team, but Barcelona also feels the same way, so the competition this season will be fiercer with the presence of Girona at the top of the standings. Maybe Atletico Madrid should be able to enliven the competition this season where they have also performed quite well this season.

No one was ready to see the Girona team at the top of the table. No one expects Girona to be at the top of the table after half the season is over. This team is playing great. They don't have a very strong squad. Girona's players are playing well even with a mediocre squad. The players are very confident. At the same time, their coach Sanchez is doing a fantastic job. Girona's performance is still stable thanks to Sanchez's match strategy. Girona won 4-2 against mighty Barcelona in the last match. And this team has a chance to win the title this season. If Barcelona drop a few more points, they will be out of the title race.

It's crazy how Almeria, who are ranked last in the La Liga table, played that game away from home against one of the best teams in the league. This is so clearly Atletico Madrid, win with the least amount of effort in the game. Almeria had 15:3 corners! Holy shit how is that possible against a team that plays at home and fights for the La Liga title. More shots and shots on target and if this team wasn't called Almeria, you could also think that Atletico Madrid played against Real Madrid. The win and three points for Atletico is one thing, but I doubt that Simeone was happy with how that game was played.

Certainly Simeone will not be happy enough with the win and maybe they have to learn from this match so that later the visiting team cannot pressure them with better opportunities. Atletico should have been able to pay attention to the progress of the match so that they could feel frustrated against Almeria but in fact Almeria is not a team that has a weak mentality in this away match and on the other hand they really need any points to be able to move away from the relegation zone. But unfortunately they have to try another opportunity because winning against Atletico is quite impossible.

I thought Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid would compete for the La Liga title this year. But Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are slowly slipping back from the title race.

Atletico Madrid have a much stronger squad this season than they have in the past few seasons. I would say they have the most experienced players in La Liga right now in their forwards. At the same time, Atletico Madrid's midfield is also quite strong. If Simeone's match strategy is good and if the players can adapt themselves well to the match strategy, Atletico Madrid have the potential to still challenge for the title.

It was about time to finally have one team that was not expected to be at the top after almost half of the season has been played. It's nice to have teams who can surprise everyone and Girona is in that position. However, I don't know how many people knew that Girona has a lot of financial support, but how will that be handled by them and also the financial fair play rules, which are quite strictly enforced in La Liga. I assume they have a pretty small revenue and since spending is tied to revenue generated, I think they can't go for any large transfers. But if they can qualify for the Champions League now (don't want to talk about the title yet), maybe they can establish themselves long term at the top of La Liga.

No one was ready to see the Girona team at the top of the table. No one expects Girona to be at the top of the table after half the season is over. This team is playing great. They don't have a very strong squad. Girona's players are playing well even with a mediocre squad. The players are very confident. At the same time, their coach Sanchez is doing a fantastic job. Girona's performance is still stable thanks to Sanchez's match strategy. Girona won 4-2 against mighty Barcelona in the last match. And this team has a chance to win the title this season. If Barcelona drop a few more points, they will be out of the title race.

Girona is showing great performance in this season's La Liga series. They beat a team like Barcelona 4-2 to win the match, it's a big deal and they left behind a team like Real Madrid and moved to the top number 1 position in the points table.  This is really a big deal. The most champions in La Liga are Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Barcelona. However, this time Girona is showing such a performance that it seems they are going to set a new record. Such a beautiful activity in Girona is truly commendable. Good luck for Girona
