La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[khiholangkang]

Do you think Liverpool have returned from their slump? because they returned to the top of the standings in the middle of this season, and they always won their matches, in the last five matches they were perfect enough to collect points, when Arsenal lost to Aston Villa, Liverpool became the leader of the standings with a total of 37 points.
Liverpool's next match meets Man United and I think Liverpool will be able to beat Man United, given that man united does not have good performance, they also lost to Bournemouth last week with a result of 3-0.

I don't understand man city, why they have a bad performance and getting worse, are they facing quite complicated problems so they sink quite far from the throne?

If you look at the statistical data, Barcelona should be able to beat Velencia because this club is not very strong, especially as Velencia is not in good condition lately and has experienced 3 defeats from the last 5 matches. I think Barcelona can take advantage of opportunities when Velencia's condition is not good and I am sure Barcelona is capable achieved victory in this match.

Competing as a guest of course, Barcelona will experience a little difficulty against Valencia, even though from the statistics Valencia doesn't look consistent because they played very badly in their previous match, but in the match against Barcelona, at least Valencia must play as hard as possible to not lose points, at least they can balance Barcelona's game and share. points with Barcelona.

Barcelona are also not completely in good condition, especially considering yesterday's defeat in the UCL when they visited Antwerp, they were defeated 3-2, even though in the end they still qualified for the next round in the UCL, Xavi had to really put pressure on the players to get full points, especially The previous defeat also against Girona, they had to lose points, against Valencia at least Barcelona must be able to get full points to be able to maintain their position in the current standings.

Even though it home match for Valencia, they still won't be able to easily beat or draw against Barcelona in this home match, this match is very important for Barcelona to be able to get full points in order to catch up with 3rd place.
Atletico Madrid occupies 3rd place with 34 points, the same as Barcelona and by winning the match against Valencia, Barcelona can take over that position.
Moreover, Valencia is also not strong team and everything can be clearly proven because in 16 matches they were only able to have 5 wins with 7 defeats, this is proof that Valencia is not an opponent who can beat or hold Barcelona to draw.

Barcelona defeat in the UCL match will never affect anything because they still qualify for the last 16 and of course this defeat is only gift for Antwerp because they are at the bottom of group H.
We cannot assess and determine match results or predict team performance when competing in the Domestic League just from the results of UCL games, the difference will be very visible.
Barcelona will still be able to perform well and beat Valencia in this weekend match.

The favorite team will still be the favorite and defeat to ajust weak team is just surprise that cannot possibly be repeated in two consecutive matches.

Regarding the game between Real Madrid and Union Berlin, I can say David Alaba was the worst player on the field and he was performing really well in in match because even in the first goal of Union Berlin to Real Madrid, David Alaba was guilty.
This David Alaba we see in La Liga playing for Real Madrid i far from his good day and it seems his performance has decreased a lot. However, Ancelotti still trusts this Austrian player.

Recently, David Alaba has been making frequent mistakes and that's not only in the Champions League but in La Liga too. However, it seems that his position will not be replaced considering that Real Madrid no longer has a defender option after Militao has not yet recovered from injury. Ancelotti not only trusted him but also gave him the task of leading the defense and that is why David Alaba became an important figure for Real Madrid's defense. He also often helps in attacks and of course we still remember his cross against Napoli a few weeks ago before finally finishing well with Jude Bellingham's header which resulted in a goal.

Of course, as a very experienced player, David Alaba must correct his mistakes and this will also have a full impact on Real Madrid's defensive strength in La Liga and if he can progress well then Real Madrid will not be easily broken down by their opponents.

I saw that blunder against Union Berlin that led to that first goal being scored by Union Berlin striker. I didn't see the second half too bit I'm sure they must be staggering to conceded two goals in that game. With Injuries he remains the only better option to use if he wasn't alone, Miltao would have been used most definitely in games like this.

Joselu scoring twice got me flying over the moon he should have made it three goals but there was a chance that went by the side of goalin the first half of the game. With January Transfer Window upcoming, I don't know if they'll sign up a new defender as backup. Alaba has gone round two big leagues, I don't expect him to be a hundred percent.

Of course, as a very experienced player, David Alaba must correct his mistakes and this will also have a full impact on Real Madrid's defensive strength in La Liga and if he can progress well then Real Madrid will not be easily broken down by their opponents.

Real Madrid may be struggling due to the absence of important players as well as inconsistent performance from the players. Carlo Ancelotti is present to put everything to the test, winning becomes vital, and Real Madrid has everything they need to prevail. However, there are mistakes in the defense lines; we know the workload on these defenders is difficult. David Alaba may make numerous mistakes in the Real Madrid backline, but he quickly recovers and returns to form before anybody noticed. He should be given time to rest because he handle important roles in backlines.

However, in fact, currently the absence of several important players in the Real Madrid team does not have a big impact on the team's performance significantly because the squad in Real Madrid is even enough to be able to cover many lines except the front line, that's why currently there are many rumors saying that the Real Madrid team must bring in a new striker in the January transfer market to be able to strengthen his front line.

Carlo Ancelotti seems very selfish if he doesn't bring in a new striker because it is impossible for the team to always depend on Vinicius in the front line and hope that a young midfielder will continue to score goals.

Barca has too many problems, Real Madrid still shows itself as a great team. Girona, on the contrary, is showing perfection even though the squad does not have outstanding stars. Currently, Girona is 2 points ahead of Real Madrid, but I still lean towards Real Madrid. They will not let Girona win the championship. Let's wait and see if Girona can write this miracle.

Yes, it's like Leicester City in the EPL. So far they are very good even surpassing Real Madrid's record in scoring goals. Almost all Girona players work to create assists or goals. But with the condition that the number of games is still large, they must be a strong team. That is, they must be stable. Girona has less match advantage than others. So the opportunity is huge. With this condition, it seems that after the end of the season there will be many Girona players who are in demand by big teams.

I think the first goal of the Girona club is to stay in relegation, and in fact, they are safe. Now, they can blatantly compete for the league championship trophy.

Gutierrez's remarkable performances this season, especially against FC Barcelona at the weekend, were awe-inspiring. His left-footed goal in Girona's 4-2 win at Camp Nou made him attract attention from many big clubs, notably Arsenal. And the 19-year-old Brazilian player is playing for Girona on loan from Troyes. He made 18 appearances, scored 5 goals, and provided 5 assists. In the win against Barca, Savinho was the one who passed the ball to Cristhian Stuano to score the winning goal. Savinho's high form has attracted many big clubs, such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it. However, I still have faith in them. Barcelona will likely turn things around in their upcoming La Liga away games, starting with Valencia. After a series of defeats, Barcelona is showing impatience and losing confidence. The upcoming match against Valencia on Saturday is crucial for them to secure full points and stay competitive. It won't be easy, and Valencia could give them a tough challenge.

Barcelona performance in this season not quit well and they have losses two home matches against Real Madrid and defeated by Girona on last match, the losing trend keep continue last night on Champion League match after Barcelona defeating by Royal Antwerp. Its not good start for Barcelona have loss many points in domestic league and remaining 7 points from Girona at the first standings awhile. Upcoming match, Barcelona have away against Valencia and they should return to winning match and keep close points with Girona or Real Madrid, if loss three points Barcelona will pressure by Athletic Bilbao have 5 points left right now.

Two matches later, Barcelona will away to Valencia and home match against Almeria, on the paper its not really difficult for Barcelona get three points but if loss point their top fourth position not secure yet with Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad are waiting for move up to champion league spot standings.

Barcelona is currently really weak and not in a very good form but I aswell never expected their weakness will get to this point where they will loose to a team as Giron in such a manner they they literally struggled to get the few goals they were able to score, against Girona, a few weakness of Barcelona was exposed, it became somehow obvious that lewandoski isn't in his best form anymore and much shouldn't be expected of him

Barcelona may currently not have so much confidence in how much they can perform again because Girona has been one biggest anticipation that was going to tell if they were really having a set back and some how they couldn't prove otherwise so I think they may struggle again with Valencia but then if it turns out they win Valencia then it wouldn't be long their confidence will be up again and they will be back to their form but they should definitely reduce dependency on lewandoski and hope to do well both in his presence and absence of which it's very achievable.

no club wants to be in the relegation zone and Girona is in LaLiga this season with impressive performances, no one even thought that a team like Girona could put pressure on the big Laliga teams and be at the top surpassing Real Madrid and Barcelona, Girona providing a good performance this season has made matches in LaLiga even more competitive and exciting. However, it seems that it is not yet certain whether Girona will be able to lift the trophy this season. If yes, this means that this will be a new history in LaLiga where a big team was defeated by a mediocre team like Girona.

   Girona players seem to have high solidarity, they can work together to improve the quality of the team and the quality of performance and this is all thanks to Girona coach Míchel, he was able to build the team's performance to become like this.

If you look at the statistical data, Barcelona should be able to beat Velencia because this club is not very strong, especially as Velencia is not in good condition lately and has experienced 3 defeats from the last 5 matches. I think Barcelona can take advantage of opportunities when Velencia's condition is not good and I am sure Barcelona is capable achieved victory in this match.

With the way Barcelona play recently, they're very unreliable and inconsistent. They can win one match and lose or the other. There's no doubt that they play well, they create chances but they usually miss them. They are the team that has missed the most big chances in La Liga so far. They can't continue like that if they want to compete for the league.
Valencia may not be in a good form, but they also know that they can cause harm on the counter.
Aside from the fact that Barcelona finds it difficult to score, another issue is that Barcelona also concede too many cheap goals. This is why they lost the Girona game and still why they lost to Antwerp. You can't keep conceding 3 and 4 goals to teams like Girona and Royal Antwerp. The defense has not figured out how to deal with the overlapping of Cancelo and Balde and even when Kounde plays on the RB, Cancelo leaves a lot of space in behind for the defenders to deal with, plus have to stop making silly mistakes.

Valencia will clearly be an obstacle for Barcelona to get points, where these 3 points are very important for Barcelona not to make too much distance from Atletico Madrid who still have one match remaining as capital. Therefore, I hope that Valencia can play as hard as possible to provide tough resistance. The advantage that Valencia has is that they don't want to waste it playing at home which is a big gamble in front of the fans. If many matches are wasted Barcelona is clearly in serious trouble Xavi looks shaky because several of his players are now showing a decline in performance.

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it.

It's normal if you are disappointed but Girona deserved this result the quality of play in each line was very different and made Barcelona unable to handle it well. Barcelona made 31 shots but wasted them and 11 shots on target did not give them the lead in scoring goals. This means that Girona may be statistically below Barcelona but on the  contrary in  terms of attack  effectiveness Girona is able to control  it well.

IMO I think at the moment Girona are not really looking to focus on becoming champions because in this case apart from the season which is still long considering we are still in the middle of the season, their burden is now heavy with performance so rather than being bothered by thinking about the championship it would be better for them to continue to think about how their performance remains consistent.
At the moment Girona are still very good in terms of performance but indeed this is not a guarantee that they will continue like this so they must continue to try to make their performance stable so that their condition is maintained because with that their chances of competing in a decent position or even a title competition are always there.

It's impossible if Girona doesn't want to be champion because currently they are in first place and won't let Barcelona or Real Madrid or any other team pass their position, if Girona doesn't want to be champion this season then their game should not be as good as you can see until they reach first place from the top of the standings and having a high point value is the result of the team's hard work and they should be proud of becoming first champions in La Liga this season.

Girona last season can able to finish at 10th place and their manager Michel has successfully to save this team to avoiding relegation zone and you might be surprised about their target before this season starting because the management only targetting Girona to avoiding relegation zone and it never crossed their minds before that they could put on such an impressive performance this time because with their current squad Girona was realized it's hard to compete against big teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona or even Atletico Madrid for the top 3

But everything is just like dream comes true for them because until week 16 Girona can able to lead Laliga league standings and although Girona can able to occupy first place but their manager never thinking he would make this team to being an Laliga champion and what they want to do now is to performing well for each matches and Alaves indeed will be their upcoming opponent this weekend

Really, Girona's journey this season is like a storybook. The fact that they were only trying to avoid relegation makes their rise to the top of La Liga even more impressive. Their plan and hard work paid off. Their ability to score goals really stands out to me. None of their star players do all the work; everyone, from the wingers to the midfielders, participates. Their varied way of striking makes them a tough opponent for any team. Their enormous confidence must have grown a lot after their recent win over Barcelona. They have my support to keep their lead. Being dedicated and working as a team shows that even the "smaller" teams can dream big.

It's understandable and I understand what you're trying to say but in this case I think we need to be realistic and I think Girona are also like that not that now they're not thinking about the championship of course there is that desire but for now thinking about it is still quite far away because whatever the situation is now for Girona they still have to maintain their consistency to be able to become champions especially with the dominance that is always created by Barcelona and Madrid so obviously it will still be very difficult.
It would be great if Girona in La Liga could match Leicester's achievements in the EPL a few seasons ago but even if they are not in that condition at the moment Girona must also remain proud of themselves because of what they have shown this season (the beginning to the current half of the season) it is very good.

Girona is a middle class team, last season they finished 10th in La Liga. Even in the last 3 seasons, Girona has never finished higher than 10th. this season, this team has suddenly become one of the tough competitors in the 16 matches presented by the competition in La Liga. if I had to compare, the same as Lens in the 2022-23 season. why, because they don't have a tight schedule like other teams, especially the top teams in this competition.

and IMO, one of the things that makes Girona able to be consistent as I said. Plus, Girona has players who are in their best form. that's why, so far Gorina has been able to be consistent. So far, I can't be sure whether they will be able to remain consistent. especially after the second half of the season, because the competition will get tougher and more fierce. What is certain is that finishing in the top four until the end of this season is something extraordinary for them.

To win the League title, I don't think it's time yet because Madrid or Barcelona and even Atletico Madrid won't let Girona go smoothly. However, the fact is that Girona is currently still at the top of the standings. But what is certain is that Madrid, the team with the fewest points difference from Girona, will reclaim the top of the standings. well, let's just wait and watch each match.

The problem of consistency is always a very difficult factor to predict so in this case we only need to see until the end how they will perform whether they will get better or even slowly lose their stability in La Liga so in this case predicting them to win is very good and I like it if it happen cause at least there are surprises this season but if in the end they are not able to do that as long as they are in the top standings like being in the Europa League or Champions League it is already a great progress for them. Girona just have to keep playing really well so that they can continue to stabilise in terms of performance and their standings don't change too drastically next season.

However, Girona's process of currently being at the top of the La Liga standings is not easy. Michel Sanchez's important role as a coach was extraordinary in building the team.
Last season they also had to work hard enough to finish in the middle of the standings. but now the coach's strategy is working very well. every player understood the intent of the coach's tactics and it succeeded in placing Girona at the top, competing with Madrid and Barcelona.

[tiCeR]

This is where I fully disagree because Girona is structured differently than, for instance, Leicester City when they won the Premier League. Girona is built from the ground up with a successful future in mind. Does anyone here think that a miracle is happening in Girona?

The brother and advisor of Pep Guardiola owns the Girona Football Group and this group in turn owns 44.3% of Girona. This means the City Football Group and the Girona Football Group own almost 90% of the club. Now does anyone understand what is going on there?

I will make a bold prediction: the chance that Pep Guardiola will sign a contract with in the future with Girona is higher than zero! This club has a serious plan and what could be more profitable than establishing a football club in the top of La Liga that belongs to the Guardiola family?

Just because something has a chance of happening, does not mean it is going to happen. Just because there is a chance for Pep to sign a contract with Girona, and just because it is higher than zero, does not mean that he is actually going to do it. It again comes to the same thing like, just because it is possible doesn't mean it is probable.  And at the same time, just because Girona is performing well so far in this season, does not mean that they are actually going to do it consistently, especially throughout the whole season. Let alone in the next season.

Did you really take the time to explain that if the chance is not zero or higher than zero that it could happen, but it doesn't mean it will happen? Lol, that's funny because you took my entire post and rephrased it with as many words possible...

Anyhow, I believe that Pep Guardiola would not be willing to sign a lot more contracts in his life as a coach. He was a coach for Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester City and he ruled out ever becoming a coach for Real Madrid.

I think this leaves him with two possibilities: become the coach of a club that nobody expects, which could be Girona and since his brother is deeply involved with the club, that makes it possible as there are also massive financial incentives. Or he becomes a national coach.

One thing I've believed up to this point is that defending is harder than chasing. The same is the case with Girona right now, yes they have to maintain their position in the standings, and it will be much more difficult than they just imagine in second place for example. the article the pressure that comes to them will be much greater, especially the real threat to them is a very big club like Real Madrid, surely it will shake their mentality and if they can't control it, then sooner or later they will decline by themselves.
It's their job as a whole, and the coach's job will determine how they go forward. The coach has to be good at keeping their mentality in good shape.

[wmaurik]

Barcelona will win their next game against Valencia, I don't think they can afford to lose two straight match in the league. After dropping points against Girona and they were already in the champions league round of 16, irrespective of the score of yesterday game. Xavi is an experienced manager and he wasn't really expecting much from them yesterday. I believe his eyes was already at the Valencia game so I think Barcelona will get back to winning ways this weekend. I can bet of this game that Barcelona will win.

Even though Barcelona can win the away match with Valencia, I think Barcelona will also remain in its current position if Atletico Madrid can win this week's match when they visit Athletic Club. Because up to now there are three teams that are a real obstacle for Barcelona to reach the top of the standings, so Xavi really has to give his best shot to all the players at Barcelona at the moment. If this is not the case, Barcelona will be further behind than the other three teams in the top three of the standings and will be more easily chased by other rivals from the lower ranks.

Compatibility between players and coaches is the key to being able to play an ideal game. So Girona can already read how to face opponents, no matter how big the club is. As long as you can build teamwork and don't give up easily, the results will be more satisfying. Girona needs to maintain this consistency, because we want to see La Liga have new candidates so that they don't get bored every season. Girona existence is certainly a big threat, especially after successfully beating Barcelona, Madrid demanded that they be more alert when they meet again. btw the two will meet in Week 24 of La Liga if I'm not mistaken. We hope that both teams are in the same stable condition so they can play an entertaining game.

If you look at the statistical data, Barcelona should be able to beat Velencia because this club is not very strong, especially as Velencia is not in good condition lately and has experienced 3 defeats from the last 5 matches. I think Barcelona can take advantage of opportunities when Velencia's condition is not good and I am sure Barcelona is capable achieved victory in this match.

Competing as a guest of course, Barcelona will experience a little difficulty against Valencia, even though from the statistics Valencia doesn't look consistent because they played very badly in their previous match, but in the match against Barcelona, at least Valencia must play as hard as possible to not lose points, at least they can balance Barcelona's game and share. points with Barcelona.

Barcelona are also not completely in good condition, especially considering yesterday's defeat in the UCL when they visited Antwerp, they were defeated 3-2, even though in the end they still qualified for the next round in the UCL, Xavi had to really put pressure on the players to get full points, especially The previous defeat also against Girona, they had to lose points, against Valencia at least Barcelona must be able to get full points to be able to maintain their position in the current standings.

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it. However, I still have faith in them. Barcelona will likely turn things around in their upcoming La Liga away games, starting with Valencia. After a series of defeats, Barcelona is showing impatience and losing confidence. The upcoming match against Valencia on Saturday is crucial for them to secure full points and stay competitive. It won't be easy, and Valencia could give them a tough challenge.

That's a very fair result for barcelona. Have you watched the game? If you have then you shall agree with me if barcelona played so poorly. The defensive line can do nothing to block the counter attack that was coming from girona.
Girona is performing even better right now. Glad to see that this team is slowly but surely climbing up to compete with real madrid for the title race right now. Im very happy michel has made really good progress for the club.

The lose against girona is obviously a set back for barcelona. I have seen that if many players were being so clueless and they don't even know what they are doing. Barcelona is not the same like last season. The club is having many problems.
The injury that happened with some of its players become the main problems. It will be quite difficult to solve it without getting a new player from other club.
The only question is whether barcelona has money to recruit the new player. It's a common knowlegde that barcelona is still in the financial crisis.

Barca, from a squad in crisis both in terms of playing style and finances, has been revived by coach Xavi after only 2 years. In fact, although Barca is 7 points behind Girona at the top of La Liga, it is only 5 points behind Real Madrid and equal on points with Atletico Madrid - those are their real big rivals. I think Barcelona's form is down because the players lack confidence. They lost to an emerging team like Girona. They're in bad condition. It's two bad results in a row.
Coach Xavi is not satisfied with this result. He thought his team played well, but mistakes in defense took away Barca's victory. Barca did not play badly, but they had to receive bad results. They have to improve their defense and finishing ability because that's why Barca failed.

Really, Girona's journey this season is like a storybook. The fact that they were only trying to avoid relegation makes their rise to the top of La Liga even more impressive. Their plan and hard work paid off. Their ability to score goals really stands out to me. None of their star players do all the work; everyone, from the wingers to the midfielders, participates. Their varied way of striking makes them a tough opponent for any team. Their enormous confidence must have grown a lot after their recent win over Barcelona. They have my support to keep their lead. Being dedicated and working as a team shows that even the "smaller" teams can dream big.

However, Girona's process of currently being at the top of the La Liga standings is not easy. Michel Sanchez's important role as a coach was extraordinary in building the team.
Last season they also had to work hard enough to finish in the middle of the standings. but now the coach's strategy is working very well. every player understood the intent of the coach's tactics and it succeeded in placing Girona at the top, competing with Madrid and Barcelona.

Of course, it wasn't an easy journey for Girona, but they proved their quality perfectly. This team has good self-confidence and has good motivation to challenge anyone, the best thing about them is that the team never feels pressured even when playing against Barcelona or Real Madrid.

So far Girona has only suffered one defeat in the last 16 matches and Real Madrid is the only team to have beaten them. There are certainly plenty of doubts about Girona's ability to maintain their form, but that's no reason why we should underestimate them. Their defense is still not good, but this team has a very productive striker. Girona is the most productive team in La Liga, which means they are ahead of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
