La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Google+]

I just wanted to say that maybe Real Betis will be the team that makes Girona fail to get full points tonight. As usual, Girona was in control of the game with 62% ball possession but this did not guarantee they would win until the match was over. However, it is proven that now Girona has scored a goal.

I'm sure, even though Girona are currently winning 1-0 (penalty), Manuel Pellegrini seems to already know the gap to make Girona fail at Villamarin.
Remember. Results may still change.

And in the end, Girona failed to win the match against Real Betis even though it was only a draw. Now Real Madrid will take advantage of Girona's failure by winning the match against Alaves which will then leave both teams level on points. Real Madrid will lead the standings if they win, while Girona will drop to second place with a 7 point gap from Barcelona.

This is what most users always worry about Girona. They won't always be able to win games and maintain their performance, so there is always a chance for other teams to close the points gap. I think Barcelona is still very likely to catch Girona in the standings, so everything is not impossible.

Girona failed to take advantage of today match by winning 3 points because they took the lead early through a goal scored by Dovbyk. However they were not able to defend stronger to secure this match so that Real Betis was able to equalize which made this match end in a draw. Apart from that, Real Betis are quite strong when they play at home, especially this season they were able to prevent their opposing team from stealing full points when they faced them because Real Betis this season has ended most of their matches with a draw.

So Girona failure to secure full points certainly makes their position as leaders of the standings not very safe because Real Madrid has a big chance to overtake Girona in today match if Real Madrid is able to beat Alaves. Yes, this is an opportunity that Real Madrid must make the most of because their opponents in today match are not very strong, so Bellingham et al must be able to secure victory in today match.
Apart from that, for Barcelona, ​​who are in 3rd place in the standings, it will be quite profitable for them if the two teams above them fail to secure full points because this will further reduce the points left behind by the two teams above.

Betis - Girona was a balanced game in general. Girona started to accept the game in their half after getting ahead by 1-0. Betis tried to improve their attacks more in the second half and they got what they wanted in the last minutes finally. For once I thought Girona were really going to be victorious in this quite challenging away game.

In the end Real Madrid also got a 1-1 draw against Betis away recently. Girona also got the same result. If Real Madrid don't make big mistakes they should be able to beat Alaves easily. This must be enough to carry them to the top in the standings if I'm not wrong.

Yes, it's quite sad that Girona had to concede a goal in the 88th minute. Even though they were already leading. But in the end it ended in a draw without being able to add another goal. However, in terms of attacks, Real Betis actually has more attacks. It looks like Girona is getting quite a lot of pressure from this. Yes, although Betis' attacks are not as accurate and strong. With this draw, there is a possibility that Girona's position will be taken over again by Real Madrid if Madrid can win against Alaves later. Meanwhile, currently the position of Real Madrid vs Alaves is still 0 - 0 until the 11th minute.

In some difficult matches, Girona did not build up many attacks compared to their opponents, but the best thing about them was that they were able to take advantage of their opportunities well. The match against Real Betis did not go according to plan, but they were still able to prevent Real Betis from scoring more goals to win.

Artem Dovbyk is a center forward who has been in good form this season, he scored a goal today and has taken his tally for the season to 11 goals. Now Artem Dovbyk is only 2 goals away from the number of goals scored by Jude Bellingham and 1 goal away from Borja Mayoral, so the competition is likely to be very tight. But wait a minute, Real Madrid will not win the match against Alaves easily, but the chances are very big.

This should be an easy victory for Real against Alaves , especially when h2h record is 9-1 for Real Madrid and I also expect them to win with at least 2 goals difference. There is also a possibility for a draw here but that should make Girona very happy and build more confidence inside that team.

If there is a draw for Real Madrid, it would be a great opportunity for Girona. Girona should have won the match with Real Betis, it was a very important match for the leadership. Real Madrid will not lose this match and will retain the leadership position minutes later. Girona has a tough opponent next week. Can we say that they have done well this far? Or is this journey not over yet? Frankly, I'm very curious.

If there is a draw for Real Madrid, it would be a great opportunity for Girona. Girona should have won the match with Real Betis, it was a very important match for the leadership. Real Madrid will not lose this match and will retain the leadership position minutes later. Girona has a tough opponent next week. Can we say that they have done well thus far? Or is this journey not over yet? Frankly, I'm very curious.

Considering Real Madrid's current position and results in it is clear that the next couple of matches must be won at all costs because Real Madrid has been behind for too long in this season and at that they can't afford to hold on for long going forward and the Girona vs Real Madrid must be a win for Real Madrid regardless of what the situation is with Girona because they also need to win at all cost but Real Madrid is more position for a win in the match because of the available hands in the club and the team are more formed than Girona for now and that alone is big enough for them to strike a win sure and straight in the match.

[LGD2Business]

Finally Girona lost points. They had been winning for several matches, and in this match they took the lead with Dovbyk's penalty, but with Pezzella's goal in the last minutes, Real Betis saved 1 point at home and stole 2 points from Girona. Undoubtedly, Real Madrid fans were the happiest with this goal. Pezzella scored with a beautiful shot that was unexpected from a defender, and it was his first goal of the season. Real Betis maintains its top 7 targets. Girona was the upset side today. They thought they won the match. Such things happen in football. You shouldn't be comfortable with the fact that we won until the last whistle.

[$crypto$]

An easy victory, I don't know. It should be a victory yes, but these games sometimes require patience more than anything else when one team is parking the bus. But under normal circumstances time should solve the problem when Alaves becomes tired slowly.

Real Madrid has the chance to finish the season before this winter break at the top of the table. They can get an equal number of points as Girona, but they have the better goal difference. I am not sure if it's the goals or the h2h duel between Girona and Real Madrid, but they got that covered as well.

We know better how Real Madrid is against low teams, indeed what we think Real Madrid will definitely win, then what you say needs patience for Real Madrid to be able to find opportunities to score, if it doesn't happen in the first half in the second half there are still opportunities with plenty of time.

I think the table will soon be taken over even though the points are the same only the goal difference determines, then at the beginning of the year the matches will start again they only rest for two weeks with this break, of course I hope Madrid win against Alaves.

[Chilwell]

Girona should either win or draw tonight, losing is not an option tonight, I don't know about Real Madrid bit judging from how they played during the last game even with some key players absent, they will still have to make sure winning the same way they did last game happens tonight. So far, they're the best side in La Liga following up with the pace set by Girona.

Even draw it not good for them because if Real Madrid win, and I am much confidence that Real Madrid can win the match against Alavés even though they are the one hosting Real Madrid, if eventually real Madrid win the match they will have equal points with Girona then the goal difference will determine who will be on the top of table, and real Madrid have more goals than Girona with this Madrid will top the table and Girona will move down to second position.

[AYOBA]

Now, when it comes to Real Madrid and Alaves, many people believe that Real Madrid is much better, even if some of their important players are not playing. So, I don't really expect any big surprises in the game. Alaves is playing at home, but I don't think they'll beat Real Madrid. Sometimes in football, unexpected things happen, but in this case, I don't see Alaves causing a major upset. Let's watch the games and see how everything turns out!

Indeed, Real Madrid is a much superior team to Alaves. Even if a lot of people believe Alaves will defeat Real Madrid, this is only conjecture. It is not conceivable, in my opinion. It will be challenging for Alaves to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat Real Madrid despite the fact that Vinicius and Courtols are among their injured players; their performance is still being evaluated. However, let's have a look at what folks will happen since the first half has been kicked off about minutes ago

[ShowOff]

Finally Girona lost points. They had been winning for several matches, and in this match they took the lead with Dovbyk's penalty, but with Pezzella's goal in the last minutes, Real Betis saved 1 point at home and stole 2 points from Girona. Undoubtedly, Real Madrid fans were the happiest with this goal. Pezzella scored with a beautiful shot that was unexpected from a defender, and it was his first goal of the season. Real Betis maintains its top 7 targets. Girona was the upset side today. They thought they won the match. Such things happen in football. You shouldn't be comfortable with the fact that we won until the last whistle.

It's true, Girona felt disappointed in today's match because they failed to maintain their victory when the match ended. Girona have disappointed other teams like that before, so today Real Betis taught them how disappointed a team can be when they fail to get 3 points when the game is almost over. But I don't think this is a surprise, in fact I expect Girona to drop more points in many of the next games in the second half of the season.

In another match, Real Madrid could not score a goal in the first half in their away match against Alaves. Meanwhile, Alaves, who tried to score a goal, still failed until the first half ended. Alaves has good motivation to play better so as not to lose, but because the depth of Real Madrid's squad is better then Madrid's chances of winning will be good too. A potential draw remains possible, but it is a surprise and it will actually make Real Madrid more disappointed than Girona.

[Weawant]

Even draw it not good for them because if Real Madrid win, and I am much confidence that Real Madrid can win the match against Alavés even though they are the one hosting Real Madrid, if eventually real Madrid win the match they will have equal points with Girona then the goal difference will determine who will be on the top of table, and real Madrid have more goals than Girona with this Madrid will top the table and Girona will move down to second position.

A draw will not help Real Madrid well enough in achieving the top position on the table as they desired to, the first half just ended a goalless draw and Real Madrid has been trying their best to making sure they are able to win this game, Bellingham is on the pitch tonight and I see that as enough hope for Real Madrid.

Alaves is trying so hard to maintain a goalless game so they will end up getting a point by the end of the match as it will be advantageous to them than it will be with Madrid, girona was able to draw their game tonight and the gap between Madrid and Girona current is such that if Madrid is able to win tonight, they will be able to stay a point ahead of Girona but a draw or a loss keeps rhsy behind Girona and of course I'm sure Madrid wouldn't want suvhas Thay currently are like the only sound team who can easily displace Girona from the top of the table.

Even draw it not good for them because if Real Madrid win, and I am much confidence that Real Madrid can win the match against Alavés even though they are the one hosting Real Madrid, if eventually real Madrid win the match they will have equal points with Girona then the goal difference will determine who will be on the top of table, and real Madrid have more goals than Girona with this Madrid will top the table and Girona will move down to second position.

Deportivo Alaves successfully have been able to keep Real Madrid from scoring in the first half, but I do not think that they will be able to stop a goal in the second half. If the Real Madrid players have forgotten what is at stake for them, their coach will surely remind them in the break. This is an opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up with Girona, after Barcelona managed to just get a slight victory over Almeria yesterday in a game where they did not play very well.

This is an opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up with Girona, after Barcelona managed to just get a slight victory over Almeria yesterday in a game where they did not play very well.

Based on my observations, Madrid's attack line may still have difficulty penetrating the opponent's defenders and what is clear is that the absence of Vinicius makes attacks less effective because it is difficult to take the initiative to attack. Still relying on attacks from the left and occasionally from the right. As for the middle it is not very reliable because the Alaves players use the midfield penalty box as a defensive wall.

I hope that the second half requires a little rotation of attacks where Modric and Kroos don't come forward enough to help the attacks. Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz are still having difficulty finding gaps to open up opportunities.

This match needs to be won because it is a good opportunity when Girona has been held to a draw by Real Betis. If Madrid succeeds in getting 3 points, the gap with Girona will only be 1 point. Meanwhile, on the other hand sharing points will certainly extend Girona  lead at the top of the standings.

There should have been a chance for a goal in the second half if you  look at the statistics of Madrid movements dominating the game with  two shots on target and it will continue to increase by using Valverde long distance  kick which could possibly be a goal. Bellingham occasionally dropped from his position at the back to help defend, as a result during the counter attack none of the Madrid players were  ready to receive the ball.

However, let's have a look at what folks will happen since the first half has been kicked off about minutes ago

The first 45 minutes have been played and it stand 0-0. Valverde has had two good chances and should have scored one goal. Real Madrid arent playing good yet, but I think that will come in the first 20 minutes of the second half. And Gonzalo Garcia will probably come on before Joselu today, the 19 year old has only played 2 games in La Liga so far, hopefully he get a few more minutes today and score a goal.

Betis - Girona was a balanced game in general. Girona started to accept the game in their half after getting ahead by 1-0. Betis tried to improve their attacks more in the second half and they got what they wanted in the last minutes finally. For once I thought Girona were really going to be victorious in this quite challenging away game.

In the end Real Madrid also got a 1-1 draw against Betis away recently. Girona also got the same result. If Real Madrid don't make big mistakes they should be able to beat Alaves easily. This must be enough to carry them to the top in the standings if I'm not wrong.

It is commendable that Girona is making an effort to win all of their remaining Laliga games, but it is not always easy when your team lacks experience, which is why I always cheer when they win. If they draw, I know it was not what they were hoping for, but it is not against a small team, as Betis is a big team and has won all five of their matches against Girona. This indicates that Girona is trying to secure a draw against a team that has been winning them for a long time.

Girona's success this season will earn them a spot in the Champions League. They could have collapsed by now if they weren't a decent club, but they have persevered throughout the season by putting in effort and remaining consistent.

Betis tried to improve their attacks more in the second half and they got what they wanted in the last minutes finally. For once I thought Girona were really going to be victorious in this quite challenging away game.

I previously thought that Girona would be able to beat Real Betis because previously they could also beat Barcelona. However, it turns out that in this match, Girona had to end in a draw against Real Betis with a score of 1 - 1. In fact, Girona is still on fire, but Betis is not an easy club to beat. Luckily the result was still a draw so at least Girona still got one point. but on the other hand, if Real Madrid wins this time, Real Madrid will again win first place in La Liga.

However, this is still uncertain because up to now the match between Real Madrid vs Alaves is still ongoing and the result is still a draw 0 - 0 without a single goal being scored. Even though Real Madrid really dominated the game, for some reason their attacks were not strong enough and they also didn't have many opportunities to attack again more effectively and accurately.

Omg, that's bad. Nacho just got a red card in the 54th minute and this will really be detrimental for Real Madrid because they can only play with 10 players.

[Asiska02]

Even draw it not good for them because if Real Madrid win, and I am much confidence that Real Madrid can win the match against Alavés even though they are the one hosting Real Madrid, if eventually real Madrid win the match they will have equal points with Girona then the goal difference will determine who will be on the top of table, and real Madrid have more goals than Girona with this Madrid will top the table and Girona will move down to second position.

A draw will not help Real Madrid well enough in achieving the top position on the table as they desired to, the first half just ended a goalless draw and Real Madrid has been trying their best to making sure they are able to win this game, Bellingham is on the pitch tonight and I see that as enough hope for Real Madrid.

Alaves is trying so hard to maintain a goalless game so they will end up getting a point by the end of the match as it will be advantageous to them than it will be with Madrid, girona was able to draw their game tonight and the gap between Madrid and Girona current is such that if Madrid is able to win tonight, they will be able to stay a point ahead of Girona but a draw or a loss keeps rhsy behind Girona and of course I'm sure Madrid wouldn't want suvhas Thay currently are like the only sound team who can easily displace Girona from the top of the table.

Real Madrid will want to win this match since it is an opportunity for them to take the league lead after Girona draw 1-1 to Real Betis. Girona played very well but didn't get the chance to crack their defense, Real Betis played well and made Girona draw against them, they deserved to draw the match, and I believe Girona would have lost if they hadn't scored the penalty. Real Madrid have been performing well in the first half and need to overcome Alaves to top the league. Ancelotti must modify his tactics in the second half if he is to win the match, I predict Real Madrid will win tonight and top the table. Bellingham is on the field and will break the defense and score, and continue to lead the highest goal scoring in the league since I believe he will win the Golden Boot this season, because Lewandowski is not in good enough shape to compete with him.

Real Madrid may find it increasingly difficult to win the match against Alaves. They ended the first half without a goal and now Real Madrid will only continue the game with 10 players after the referee gave Nacho a red card. Alaves has the possibility to win points in this match, at least a draw makes sense to aim for even though a win would be more perfect.

Of course, this is not a pleasant situation for Real Madrid, but considering that this team is quite capable of handling pressure, I don't think Real Madrid will lose even if they play with 10 players. Now Bellingham is the spearhead who is expected to be able to bring many changes to the match, but Alaves has so far been able to prevent many of his actions.

[RockBell]

Girona has continued to maintain dominance in Spain laliga, the team has always showed a good outplay, always not giving up to be defeated by any side, the thought of many today is to see realbetis giving girona a good fight which happen but it not an easy game for the home side, girona open the frirst goal of this meeting visiting half of the match with a good performance, the visting team seem not to allowing any stone unturn, I must say I am impressed, I think the deserve this season league, the possession is been dominated by girona, this same team defeated barca with the look of things I think the result with Real Madrid won't be a different one.

Girona They are becoming more amazing than ever in La Liga and their play is also very exceptional and real Madrid drawing yesterday was one of the reasons Girona is already at the top now and leading them by about two points now and one of the qualities is that no matter the club they are playing against they will keep up with whatever strategy every club is coming with they are ever ready and their game with realbetis was quite some show and I know and suspected the gaffer, Girona defeating Barca was already known because of Barca is not sable. To me, the real challenge is now between Girona and Real Madrid. And La Liga doesn't have enough tough teams like the Premier League and even the Champions League.

They're already having difficulty winning with that red card from Nacho Fernandez. Winning would see th equal the points with Girona but it doesn't seem like that will eventually happen tonight.
Against the top clubs above tenth position, they have some difficulties playing but have won Barcelona though so that doesn't really counts.

With what I'm seeing, it'll be Girona at the top of the standing for the first half of the season, if they can get players to balance them up during the transfer window, then they can continue same way up ahead.
