La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[QueenVera]

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.

I don't know what to say about Barcelona's performance currently because it's very much obvious that it's not welcoming. Not judging based on the defeat from Royal Antwerp last night, because now they'd tag it as a giveaway to the opposing side since they've successfully scaled through to the next round and maybe it actually was a giveaway because I wouldn't want to believe that they put their mind in that game and we're comfortably defeated by such a low team as that. Where's Barcelona's crown?

 They were a better team, they lost to Girona, which was shocking especially that defeat happening at their home ground, what explanation would they give for that? Girona is a team struggling for the top spot, but a defeat for Barcelona from them isn't just the best way to go about it. They ought to be better than this, they've got no excuse whatsoever to be performing the way they're doing now. Hopefully they'll be better after their game against Valencia but it'll be diminishing if they still loose that encounter.

Despite the loses and challenges faced by Barcelona, the club has a good record in the last five games when they faced Valencia in the domestic league games in La Liga Competition. Xavi Hernandez has been pressured to be sacked but the club management and club president are right behind the Barcelona legend and manager. Valencia at home habe not seen more than three goals scored from both side in them home games. They have also recorded just a lose with three wins and a draw in the last five games. Poor Barcelona with away games in the last five. They should sit up otherwise this season, they'll be dumped outside the first four clubs in La Liga.

It's a positive note that Barcelona have a good record against Valencia in La Liga. But Barcelona is still underpressure to win the game due to bad results they had in the last game. But I don't think this situation makes Xavi Hernandez having pressure on his managerial job. The support from the club management and president for Xavi Hernandez adds stability and confidence in the coaching staff.

Valencia right now is having a bad phase with gaining 4 points and 3 goals in the last five league games. They need to find solution to end this bad phase to avoid a degrading spirit. Barcelona is considerad in a struggling situation, because they stuck in 4th position and experienced a big loss to Girona which is still haunting them. This season demands a concerted effort from Barcelona to enhance their winning streak for them to close the points gap form the top. The competition in La Liga is intense, and Barcelona must rise to the occasion to meet the expectations of their fans and stakeholders.

[Doell]

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 4.90

Girona 5.88

Atlético Madrid 9.80

Well I don't know why there is a big gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona but also Girona. I can understand that Girona is a new club among the classic top teams so there is doubts about their consistency the whole season and I assume people are assuming they will drop at any point even though they were able to defeat Barcelona.
For Atletico Madrid, okay they are winning and sometimes missing, they will be among top 4 most likely but not the first thing season in my opinion.
For Barcelona, they are having bad moments but they should return winning again and fight for the first spot along with Real Madrid and Girona. 5 points gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona are nothing with 22 games left to play.
I will go for Real Madrid 2.5, Barcelona 3, Girona 3.5 and Atletico Madrid 4.5. I just put Girona as third choice but I would like to see them winning La Liga title this season!

No way that Barcelona is so close to Real Madrid. Those times are over and Barcelona has turned into a pretty sloppy team recently. Odds of 4.9 might sound a bit high as there is also the gap between them and Real Madrid, but I wouldn't bet on Barcelona becoming the La Liga champions this season. 1.50 on the other hand is pretty low for Real Madrid and not really worth it. Girona is the surprise team here obviously and therefore comes with the most uncertainty. But for Girona fans a bet on them winning La Liga could be fun.

Barcelona still are a big team, it is possible that they can continue to be consistent. And I think it actually makes sense that, if the bookie gives odds that are closer to Real Madrid because Barcelona is not over yet.
But I agree, Real Madrid odds are very low. And indeed, I personally don't think it's worth it if I bet on them, but betting on Girona is also risky for me. Although, yes indeed it would actually be fun. Moreover, if in the end Girona can win.

[Avirunes]

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.

Yeah it's actually surprising to see a mid table team doing so well to lead the table this season. If things goes like this then might be able to lead the table till the end and lift the trophy. Yes it's still very hard as they are just halfway through and have to maintain same level of consistency till the end. They are just leading the table with few points and don't have that much cushion in case they drop points. Madrid are the closest one and they are very good with consistency so if they make any mistake then they will pave the way for Madrid to overtake them on the table.

Spanish football this year is different, I've been watching quite interesting and boring matches all through. Barcelona will settle for lesser position this season, they're inconsistent in their performance and winning becomes very difficult for them to maintain this season. Girona and Real Madrid are the main contenders for the La Liga title this season and none of these elite clubs are ready to record losses in matches except they want to give up the title run and on a second thought, who want to give up on the title chase? Nobody I think.

Six points between the league leaders and Barcelona, Atletico Madrid included. One point between Girona and Real Madrid. Infact the league is still open for all four of them. It's just that having Girona at the top of the league has been a shocker to most footbal fans for they never expected such happening. A low life in La Liga, taking the lead and I'm not gon be perplexed when I see them at the top until the first half of the season comes to an end. The league being boring and interesting is all part of the journey.

Real Madrid despite the absence of these players we think are undropabble have done excellently great. Carlo Ancellotti has managed the boys to victories. They will need all the best when they begin the second half of the season. Vinicius Junior would be back next year as said by Carlo Ancellotti. They'll need him back better as they'll be ready for the round of sixteen games.

Girona deserves praise even though it is not certain that they will win the trophy at the end of the season. His consistency for 16 weeks and currently leading the standings with 41 points, at first glance reminds us all of the Leicester City club in the English Premier League. Girona improved performance has become a new attraction in the trophy hunt, especially after they managed to beat defending champions Barcelona recently. Everyone was shocked, and tried to accept the fact that Michel squad was a real threat.

Madrid, Barcelona and ATM still won't let Girona lead the standings continuously, and neither will the other clubs. The challenges increase as the season progresses, and if Girona dreams of becoming champions then they must remain stable until the end of the season. Apart from that, Girona is a team that can be used as a reference by other mediocre clubs, that leading the standings does not require having star studded players.

Girona is having a great season. Yes, they lost against Real Madrid, but they played a great match against Barcelona and scored 4 goals even though they were away. After the match they won 4-2, they will not give up their leadership position anymore.

[BIT-BENDER]

I would have given Girona the credit for beating Barcelona in the UEFA champions league, but seeing what happened to Barcelona in the UEFA champions league last night I think the problem is more of with Barcelona than is Girona super good.
Don't get me wrong Girona is an amazing team and they have a very effective strategy but Barcelona right now are playing like lost sheep's and they need to find their form before it's too late.

I won't write off Barcelona so easily from winning the league this season. The truth is that Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona all the the chance to win the league. Every club have a dip in form at any point every season. 7 points behinds the league leaders is not enough to write them off. Real Madrid and Girona will definitely lose points. For now the league is still very open for the three clubs to lay claim to the league. Xavi is a winner and I know he will work out his way.

We should not forget that Madrid experienced surprising points losses. They should not lose points while pursuing Girona. They no longer have this chance. Losing points is a problem for them. If they want to win the championship, they have to buy a good striker in the interim transfer period. The onus is on Bellingham to score goals now. They should make this more comfortable by recruiting forwards.

What, you mistakenly wrote Girona beat Barcelona in the Champions League? Correction again man Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League by Antwerp, Girona only beat Barcelona in LaLiga away from home.

Girona are currently on an upward trend as they continue to win effectively and beat the big boys, they have managed to stay up to date and are two points clear of Real Madrid at the bottom of the table.
This week Girona will play Alaves at home and it's safe to say they can win.

Valencia vs Barcelona is a doubtful win for Barcelona.

Barcelona is being tested by performance inconsistency problems this season, so I don't think Barcelona will be able to compete closely if they don't go through this test. Xavi tries to do the best as much as he can, but so far Xavi has received a lot of criticism and questions about his abilities.

Real Madrid has a better chance of winning the La Liga title this season than Barcelona, ​​Girona and Atletico Madrid. Of course Girona still lead the standings, but they are not a team that many people believe can maintain their form when there is a lot of pressure. I believe Girona can qualify for the Champions League next season, but I don't believe Girona can win the La Liga title this season.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been the two main teams that enjoy lifting the Laliga trophy at the end of every season. We're not sure what the situation will be this season. We don't know if we should expect Girona to win the league instead of Real Madrid or Barcelona. Still, there are a lot of matches to be played in the Laliga League this season. Teams that are struggling can go back up and play better than they were able to before. 

Hands crossed as we watch what unfolds before the end of the season. Whether it will Girona, Barcelona, or Real Madrid

Nothing has changed, the odds are still the same. Even though Girona managed to lead the standings with a 2 point advantage over Real Madrid, I am quite confident in saying that Girona will easily lose their place. Barcelona, ​​​​Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are very competitive teams, so it may only be a matter of time to knock Girona off their feet again.

I've always favored Real Madrid to win the title, but I also have to remain realistic about the possibilities. I didn't expect Real Madrid to win the La Liga title last season when Barcelona was so good, but this season things are different and Real Madrid can be expected.

Barcelona are not in good form this week they defeated them in laliga and champions league two lose in a roll, i think Barcelona will try their best to defeat Valencia this weekend and continue chasing the league because I think they still have hope to win the trophy if they perform well in their remaining league matches, Alaves is a bonus to Girona this weekend they can't compete with Girona this season I think only Real Madrid can stop them from winning the league trophy, because they are better than them, and it was only Real Madrid that defeated them this season, and I believe Real Madrid will try their hardest to win the league again, Ancelotti should buy new strikers in the transfer window next year because Madrid are lacking strikers in the team, I don't like Joselu in the club because he is missing too many chances when playing on the pitch he will lose 3 to 4 goals before he can score one, and another thing Real Madrid don't have strong penalty taker in the team because no better striker.

Henceforth, every club must respect Girona after securing full points by beating Barcelona, this result also places them at the top of the La Liga standings temporarily. Michel managed to make Xavi squad run backwards, and that is history that they will always remember. So far only Madrid can beat them, and I previously thought Barcelona would also be able to do the same thing as Madrid, but it turns out the prediction was completely wrong.

Artem Dovbyk is one of the top goal contributors for Girona in La Liga, and the 8 goals he has scored puts him in the top three temporary top scorers. But on the other hand, Michel also has to reduce the number of goals conceded by his team going forward, by improving his defense line. Maybe the open and attacking style of play adopted by Michel made the back line a little worrying, and from that point of view I think the number of goals conceded is understandable.

The Spanish league seems like the teams who start well remain harder to beat as the season progresses and they could maintain dominance for a long period. .
Am happy for the struggle of Girona so far this season and the fact of a champions league spot should they maintain this impressive winning display is what makes them play as hard if not harder than Napoli during last seasons campaign.

- snip - , Ancelotti should buy new strikers in the transfer window next year because Madrid are lacking strikers in the team, I don't like Joselu in the club because he is missing too many chances when playing on the pitch he will lose 3 to 4 goals before he can score one, and another thing Real Madrid don't have strong penalty taker in the team because no better striker.

Its a penalty curse for El Real in this 2023/2024 season, they failed to score twice on the Laliga and 1 in the Champions league.
Interesting fact, in the LaLiga El Real was the team with the most penalties awarded in the last season (12).
They need a strong and pure striker such as Benzema, in the last season he only failed once from 11 attempts (all competitions).
