La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[temple]

Due to the water crisis, Barcelona players are prohibited from bathing throughout the Club Facilities.
It became trending news and looked quite serious. experienced a prolonged drought that began last year. Reporting from the Reuters page, rainfall in Spain since September 2022 is around 17 percent below the 30-year average. This led the Catalan government to take a number of drastic measures to address the situation, including for a 'pre-emergency phase'. All this equipment consumes a lot of water and has the obligation to reduce it to compensate. If Barca want to keep watering the pitch, they will have to compensate even more for what they consume. And as much as possible they also have to save water usage.

I haven't actually paid attention to this water crisis in Spain, but when I read this headline I thought I should have a closer look at what is going on there. This is crazy and I think when a football club is forbidding its players to take showers within their facilities, things have already gone out of control. But it is a good measure showing the people that there is no privilege for the rich and sports professionals. However, if I understand the article correctly, the prices will go up but there is also a limit of 210 litres a day per resident. I wonder how that applies to sports facilities like the Barcelona stadium and how far could this crisis go? I see that there are jokes being made about potential hygiene effects for away teams when they play in the Barcelona stadium, but I guess this isn't really a good time for jokes.

In the January transfer market, big teams will definitely bring in new players to their teams so that their strength will be stronger in the second half of the season. Even for Real Madrid, they are still a strong candidate to win the title this season and I think Ancelotti will be able to bring Real Madrid back to leading the standings in the upcoming match.

It has become a habit for big and small clubs to take advantage of the transfer market to increase the strength of their squad. The Real Madrid squad as a whole is very good and Ancelotti's current line-up is also very complete. The shortage of main strikers began to be overcome by placing a shadow striker. Ancelotti managed to take advantage of Bellingham's advantages to cover the holes in the striker area.

Regarding who is the strongest candidate in the hunt for trophies this season, of course Real Madrid is in the front position. Even though they are currently two points behind Girona, it is not a big problem for Real Madrid. In the next few matches they will return to the top position and dominate the standings for a long time.

It seems like rain has started to occur everywhere so this problem will at least be resolved temporarily but will reappear every time the dry season enters, especially if it lasts for a long time like this year.
Climate change also affects the sports sector and many parties have to make changes because if it continues to get worse, bad things will also be experienced by athletes, during the day there are no more matches because the weather is very hot and at night players will struggle for air which is very humid, and it's also cold, and a field that isn't watered properly will make the grass dry out.
However, is it possible that this condition affected their performance because several times they did not perform well and losing to Girona was the most surprising thing.

By missing out on that many points, it will be difficult for Barcelona to catch up and take first place. Even though they still have plenty of time to gain a few more points, Barcelona's performance is no longer like last season, so currently there is no clear certainty regarding Barcelona. Girona will show that they are capable of fighting teams that often win world championships, and it will be Girona's turn to win this season.

If Barcelona can rediscover themselves and get their form back, they will be able to catch up and be in 1st place. Barcelona has two major problems. One is, scoring goals and the other is conceding goals. If they can deal with these issues then they'll be back. The first half of the season is almost over and in January they'll get a new striker in Roque. Hopefully, he'll be able to score the chances they create for him.
Also, Barcelona needs a natural DM. They need a player that can control their midfield like Busquets did. If they can fix these two problems then they'll be able to get back to form.

Also, a luxury signing can be a winger. Be it a left or right winger. They need a natural winger that can force the attack and pressure the opposing defenders. A fast winger, can dribble, create chances, and score goals.

This season is still very long and anything is still possible for Barcelona.
Currently, the Barcelona team's performance is quite poor and the problems they are experiencing are in many sectors, including the number of injured players, so this team does not have enough quality players to maintain team stability when player rotation occurs.

If he wants to bounce back, in the January transfer market, Xavi must be smart in spending on players and make this team improve like last season at least.

Girona will show that they are capable of fighting teams that often win world championships, and it will be Girona's turn to win this season.

This is just the start. The gap will be bigger and barcelona will be playing so poorly in the upcoming games. The bad result against girona may be making snowball impact for barcelona soon. The club needs to try so hard in keeping up its gap toward real madrid. Madrid is very consistent compared to the last season. Barcelona is starting to play so badly this season. I have no doubt that if barcelona will not be winning the competition as the winner. Real madrid is likely winning the competition soon. I hope that if barcelona will not be winning the trophy this season.
Let girona to take it will be a very good thing as it was giving us a new nuance to see unfamiliar club to win the trophy this season. Girona looks like a very strong club right now.

In this season, we have some trouble for the Barcelona even their start was perfect, but suddenly they are having problems and now slipping which is surely problem for the fans and management as well in last two games they already concede 7 goals and score only 4 which is surely not acceptable for them as well with Atlético Madrid is surely on better side and having improved performance and good results which are giving them third spot but now in round 17 we are having few big games which can create changes in league table and this also can create difference from top four to other clubs as well.

Real Madrid is surely having good time as they are at their best and currently having just two points difference from Girona which is current leader of the La Liga league table with 41 points and this is surely surprising for the all soccer fans around the world with no one was expecting in presence of teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid they can jump at this spot.

[naira]

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.

By missing out on that many points, it will be difficult for Barcelona to catch up and take first place. Even though they still have plenty of time to gain a few more points, Barcelona's performance is no longer like last season, so currently there is no clear certainty regarding Barcelona. Girona will show that they are capable of fighting teams that often win world championships, and it will be Girona's turn to win this season.

A heavy consequence  that Barcelona has to accept this season is that they are struggling to get back on their feet. But seeing how  Barcelona has declined it is clear that it will be difficult. The defeat to Girona was an ongoing disaster. On the other hand Madrid also shouldn't think  that the La Liga competition is easy especially since Girona is currently the dominant team in every way.  The upcoming transfer market in January is certainly a big opportunity  for Madrid to increase its breakthrough power because this is also to fully support the Champions League  competition in the last 16. The next  competitor Atletico Madrid will make a difference to make it more difficult for Barcelona to maximize points. Well you could say that Atletico Madrid is quite at an advantage because they still have 1 match against Bilbao. Or conversely Atletico Bilbao also wants to try  to shift Barcelona from 4th position in the standings. So being squeezed  by 2 clubs who both want to  get rid of Barcelona  will make Xavi  a little frustrated.

[Ahli38]

Atletico Madrid are technically doing a little better than Barcelona in the league now. Despite having a missing game to play they have the same points with Barcelona now and they are ahead in the standings as well. That loss against Girona by Barcelona was telling us a lot of things. Barcelona are still inadequate in some ways to maintain their title competition comfortably.

In a couple of weeks Atletico Madrid are also going to face Girona so I'm curious about what will happen in that game as well. I don't feel like Atletico Madrid defense would be as weak as Barcelona's then. But first Simeone needs to deal with Athletic Bilbao away. It will be quite a difficult game for them.

The Atletico Madrid vs Girona match in Januarwy 2024 will indeed be very interesting to watch. And after Girona managed to beat Barcelona, ​​of course now everyone is wondering whether Girona will also be able to beat Atletico Madrid. But before we get to that match, of course Atletico still has several matches at the end of the first half of this season. Like today Atletico Madrid will face Athletic Bilbao. Last season Bilbao could be said to have had a slightly bad season. Even Bilbao was only able to finish in 8th place at the end of last season. And last season, Bilbao suffered two consecutive defeats in Laliga by Atletico Madrid. Whether in home or away matches, it turns out that Bilbao was always beaten by Atletico Madrid last season. But this season I think Bilbao is a little different. Bilbao looks better than last season. Bilbao have only suffered 3 defeats this season. Just like Atletico Madrid who have also experienced 3 defeats this season. So the Atletico Madrid vs Bilbao match this time will definitely be more difficult for us to predict the outcome. But Bilbao is the host of today's match. So Bilbao could win this match. Or maybe you can get a draw. But I would probably prefer a draw. Because beating Atletico Madrid feels like it will be very difficult to do.

When it comes to the Girona - Atletico Madrid game it is surely going to be an interesting one. Before anything else I must admit that it doesn't matter for Girona to play away or home so far. Because they have been very successful in both situations.    But it does matter for Atletico Madrid as they are much more problematic in away games.

This is why I'm not thinking of betting on Atletico Madrid to win this game. Girona are already a dangerous team and I have no doubt they will do their best in this game as well. Simeone will try to hunt them down by his special strategies and will try to keep Girona in a low scoring game. But Girona still have a capacity to get even three points just as they did to Barcelona.

Barcelona has conceded a lot of goals compared to its arch-rival Real Madrid, maybe its match in the Champions League against Antwerp is not that important because Barcelona still qualified for the next round and maybe they played it casually, but conceding a lot in La Liga is of course a bad result. bad and affecting their performance, so far Barcelona has conceded 18 goals in 16 matches while Real Madrid has only conceded 10 goals in 16 matches. This has proven that Barcelona's defense is quite bad and Xavi must immediately improve it before facing the next match in the Champions League and in La Liga. Because this season is still long, if Barcelona doesn't improve it immediately, Barcelona will experience further decline.

Atlettico Madrid and Real Madrid are still quite consistent when compared to Barcelona even though they have the same points, but Atlettico Madrid doesn't concede too many goals, especially Atlettico Madrid still has 1 match if they have played it, maybe Atlettico Madrid already has a point difference with Barcelona in 3rd place.

[Jody.Drummer]

If he wants to bounce back, in the January transfer market, Xavi must be smart in spending on players and make this team improve like last season at least.

I think their scoring is still quite good, it's just that they have a serious problem with their defense which has not shown a solid defense. 30 goals is a good number, although it may not be the most productive but they can still record a good record. While their defense has now conceded 18 times in 16 matches they have played, of course this is a problem for them. Their midfield is also unstable now, it is much different when it is still strengthened with players like Iniesta, Xavi who are their current coaches.
They can actually take advantage of the upcoming transfer market, but again they are still constrained by their financial problems, so they cannot move freely and bring in players.

[topbitcoin]

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.

But for some reason, I really like this kind of competition. Girona, who appeared very extraordinary, became the difference this season which made the competition even more interesting. We certainly know that some big clubs will certainly not let Girona too long at the top of the standings especially with their current performance which is very good but on the Girona side they also don't want to slacken their current performance especially with the momentum they have and with the results that have been positive for Girona so far, they certainly don't want to end this quickly.

Next week Girona will only face Alaves, which in fact is a club that can still be defeated easily by Giroba at this time, which is certain that Girona is the favorite but on the other hande even though their performance is different, the strength of the Alaves players is not much different from Girona so Girona does not consider this match easy just because of the positive streak they get.

This is becoming more and more interesting and the competition is even more exciting to participate in because the competition is fierce, previously we only saw competition between Real Madrid, Barcelona and also Atletico Madrid, but this season Girona emerged as a surprise, making the La Liga competition even more interesting.

However, to what extent Girona can maintain something like this is still a question mark because it is very difficult for a team to maintain its consistency, especially the Girona team which does not have supporting players who are comparable to its main players.

[Roseline492]

I'm very certain Girona is going to win the match against Deportivo Alaves because with the current position of Girona on the La Liga table they will never jock with any match because any opportunity they miss will automatically become an advantage for Real Madrid because there points difference is not much so the only way for Girona to continue leading on the table is to always maintain there constant wining.

And also there prayer should be that Real Madrid should lose or draw there match so that if they eventually wins Deportivo Alaves they will stand on upper edge against Real Madrid and before Real Madrid could meet them again they might have gone far so perhaps with that Girona is sure of first or second position at the end of the league.

[KTChampions]

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!

Have you forgotten the result of the head-to-head meeting between Girona and Real Madrid? 3-0 in favor of Real Madrid. And this was an away game for Real, which means Girona will still have to somehow try to cope with the game at the Santiago Bernabeu if it wants to claim something. These odds reflect how likely this is 
And let’s not forget that Real Madrid have been playing almost the entire season with a suboptimal lineup - all the time some of the top players are injured. This means that Real Madrid have great potential to dramatically improve their game when they return to action. Does Girona, which is supposedly playing at its best, have such potential? Unlikely. Therefore, you are wrong to think that the coefficient for Real should be 2.5, in fact, 1.5 is even generous, they are the clear favorites.

The news says that Barcelona management is negotiating with Girona head coach Michel. If they are successful, he will lead Barcelona in the summer, and if Xavi is fired earlier (which is quite likely given the weak results), then Rafael Marquez will be the interim coach (until the summer). On the one hand, I think Xavi is a weak coach and this is a smart decision - in the end he had time to prove himself, but overall he failed. On the other hand, will any other coach be able to correct Barcelona's situation, given that its problems lie not only in the game? In any case, the restructuring in Barcelona continues and there is no end in sight.

[rendravolt]

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.

So far, there are no prerequisites for Barcelona to make a comeback. I would say that on the contrary they are lucky that Real Madrid have such extensive problems with players leaving due to injury and they are still not that far away from it. I understand that bookmakers are not the ultimate truth and they often make mistakes (in separate assessments), but they answer for their opinion with money and look what they think:

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 4.90

Girona 5.88

Atlético Madrid 9.80

~snip~

I just found out about the odds for winning La Liga this season and placing Real Madrid at the top seems quite reasonable. This happened because of their consistency so far and compared to Barcelona, now Los Blancos have far surpassed them. Real Madrid does not benefit from the large number of players who are still injured, but they can still appear competitive against their opponents.

Girona, surprisingly this season, has not escaped the eyes of bookies and the odds are almost the same as Barcelona, who are the defending champions of La Liga. I'm quite curious about how this will end and although there is a little doubt that Real Madrid will lose control, what is clear is that Real Madrid will win La Liga this season and throw Girona and Barcelona off the list.

[bbigtart]

This is becoming more and more interesting and the competition is even more exciting to participate in because the competition is fierce, previously we only saw competition between Real Madrid, Barcelona and also Atletico Madrid, but this season Girona emerged as a surprise, making the La Liga competition even more interesting.

This week Girona will face Alaves, of course this match will be won by Girona because their spirits are high after beating Barcelona last week, especially since the match against Alaves will be played at home, of course this is Girona's opportunity to stay in first place in Laliga. . Yes, Girona's presence in the race for the La Liga trophy has changed the map of La Liga and of course La Liga will become more competitive.

However, to what extent Girona can maintain something like this is still a question mark because it is very difficult for a team to maintain its consistency, especially the Girona team which does not have supporting players who are comparable to its main players.

Maybe this is Girona's weakness this season, they don't have reserve players who are commensurate with the main players and this is very risky if their players get injured, especially since the league season is still very long. Therefore, in the January transfer market they had to buy several players to cover this shortfall.

[tusandii]

When it comes to the Girona - Atletico Madrid game it is surely going to be an interesting one. Before anything else I must admit that it doesn't matter for Girona to play away or home so far. Because they have been very successful in both situations.    But it does matter for Atletico Madrid as they are much more problematic in away games.

This is why I'm not thinking of betting on Atletico Madrid to win this game. Girona are already a dangerous team and I have no doubt they will do their best in this game as well. Simeone will try to hunt them down by his special strategies and will try to keep Girona in a low scoring game. But Girona still have a capacity to get even three points just as they did to Barcelona.

Away or home matches are not a big problem for Girona after successfully maintaining consistency with only 1 defeat. Girona players believe they will be able to maintain their position and will even finish off the popular clubs in LaLiga. Even though Girona was able to beat Barcelona, in fact they couldn't beat Real Madrid and I think Atletico Madrid who will avenge Barcelona defeat at that time and I remember that if no one is able to beat a small club that is flying high there will also be a small club that will break its wings to continue to lower its self-confidence and then lose its performance and this time Atletico Madrid is the next popular club who will try to break Girona temporary dominance.
This match will indeed be a very interesting match but doubts arise after seeing past matches which have ended in draws even though Atletico Madrid away match has beaten Girona but still you have to be wary of a surprising attack from Girona.
But for me this will not cause problems for Atletico Madrid because the group stage matches have finished and they can focus on LaLiga before starting the round of 16 Atletico Madrid still has the opportunity to find the right strategy to beat Girona.

[Solokan]

Atletico Madrid definitely wants to continue to gain points and of course wants to shift Madrid's position which is currently in 2nd place in the standings, and in my opinion tomorrow is a match between the strong team Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, I think this will be an exciting match, but I think Bilbao will have a little difficulty when facing Atletico Madrid because Atletico Madrid is a strong team, especially yesterday Atletico Madrid won the match against Lazio in the Champions League with a score of 2-0 and I saw that their performance was very good.

But Bilbao certainly doesn't want to lose even though their last match was against Granada which only resulted in a 1-1 draw and I think at the moment I'm confused about who to bet on who will win. and I also want to know what you think here...

because in my opinion Bilbao cannot be underestimated like when they competed against the team that is currently at the top of the standings, namely Girona, at that time the score was a 1-1 draw, so the point is that Bilbao always has strength that is difficult to predict, so I think this match will make us confused about who will win it. It seems certain that the two coaches will work hard to develop strategies and formations for Atletico Madrid's upcoming match against Bilbao.

[iBaba]

Maybe this is Girona's weakness this season, they don't have reserve players who are commensurate with the main players and this is very risky if their players get injured, especially since the league season is still very long. Therefore, in the January transfer market they had to buy several players to cover this shortfall.

Indeed, Girona have changed the narrative about La Liga league this year with their awesome performance this season. And like you said, they will work hard to smoothly and swiftly win over the next match since they are meeting with a very less challenging club this time around coupled with their morales already high after they succeeded in challenging Barcelona to a win.

As for the weakness of the second XI of Girona, it is not a thing that is peculiar to them and it is also threatening other big clubs too right now. But whst I don't pray for Girona is for their top players to go to an injury. If that happens, it will definitely threaten their longevity at the first place of the table standing.
