La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Onyeeze]

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.

The objective of Real Madrid in this match is to get draw because Real Madrid has gotten red card already by Nacho Fernandez so what they will be interested of is to play a defensive game so that Deportivo Alaves will not be able to take advantages of them with the shorten one player,because the previous matches of Deportivo Alaves they lose against Girona which the match ended 3:0 and they have lose almost three matches without wining in which without the red card by Real Madrid, Real Madrid would have defeated them, shall they still have more minutes to battle with their counterpart being Deportivo Alaves

Why would Real Madrid just settle for a draw, yet they have an opportunity to go to the top of the table

Well, just I was typing and Real Madrid score a goal... I guess it's going to end at that. Deportivo Alaves is really so weak. Even with 11vs 10 they could mount any serious attack against Real Madrid's back line. It looks like they were just playing for the draw.

[harapan]

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.

Girona couldn't keep up their form to top the table before the end of the first half of the season. I had a feeling that it was going to be a though game for Girona because Betis is a good team and they are at home. I knew Girona would score so I played them to have a goal, the odd was actually big and I was surprised why it that big.
Real Madrid had a dying minute winner against Alaves and now they're top of the La Liga going into the next year. It's going to be hard for Girona to get back on top because I feel Madrid, Atletico and Barcelona would be very serious next year and might occupy the top spots. At the same time, Girona doesn't look like a team that'll slow down so time will tell.

Lucky lucky lucky win for 10 man Real Madrid!!

Real Madrid win away at Deportivo La Coruna with 1 goal!! Scored by Luca Vacquez from a Toni Kroos corner in what was an uninspiring performance from the galactic is

Luckily for Real Madrid, they are able to get the maximum 3 points and reduce the points deficit from the top of the league table to just 2 points as Girona also drew 1-1 away at Real Betis

The La Liga title race is on!!!

[Slow death]

After Barcelona had difficulty winning, yesterday it was Girona and Real Madrid's turn to play and both teams also didn't do very well in this round despite Real Madrid getting a victory. First I will talk about Girona who played against Betis, who in the last 5 games has collected draws, meaning that any team that plays against Betis already expects a draw, and in this game it was no different, Girona scored the first goal thanks to the penalty and could even If we assumed that Girona were going to win the game since the game was already 2 minutes from the end, then there would be no surprise, until Betis conceded a goal in the 88th minute and with that the game ended in a draw. It was really sad for Girona, who had victory very close and lost points

while Girona was losing points, Real Madrid were playing against Alaves who are a very weak opponent, without a doubt they were seeing this game as being a very easy task and would get 3 points, but the minutes passed and the goals didn't come in. and in the 51st minute the real madrid player received a red card, meaning real madrid started to play with just 10 players on the field and with that the difficulty of scoring a goal became very difficult and when it was thought that the game would end in a draw, Real Madrid managed to score a goal that gave them victory. With this victory, Real Madrid now has the same points as Girona and is 7 points ahead of Barcelona. I highly doubt that Real Madrid won't be champions this season

Lucky lucky lucky win for 10 man Real Madrid!!

Really lucky for Real Madrid because I had already ruled the game as a draw game seeing that it got into the extra time, and it was still goalless. Real Madrid won this game because of the champions spirit to try to win games anyhow they can even with ten men that they played with from early in the start of the second half to the end. I am reasoning that this would have been an easy game for Real Madrid to win, if not that they are being affected by the absence of some major players in their team.

[Leviathan.007]

Barcelona are winning and look to see out the game, but their overall play has not been convincing at all. Struggling against teams like Almeria who are sitting at the bottom of the table means they will find it very difficult to make it to the quarter finals against Napoli in the champions league.
Remains to be seen if the squad is boosted during the January transfer window.
- Jay -

It is a pity that Barcelona struggled to beat Almeria who has not won any of their matches in La Liga this season, and Almeria even scored 2 goals against Barcelona yesterday. If Barcelona continues like this they will not qualify for the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.

Barcelona performance is going poorly these days because they lost almost 3 matches and now they manage to win Almeria, which even lucky Barcelona, who was one of the best teams in the competition at the start of the season, are now performing poorly, which is disappointing to me. However, I think they should double up their performance in order to reach another stage in the competition; they should even qualify for the quarterfinal.
 
However, I’m not sure they will be able to win Napoli with their current performance because Napoli are stronger than Almeria, which means if they continue like this, they definitely won’t win Napoli because Napoli's performance cannot be compared to Almeria's, so therefore we should wait to see how Barcelona will play in their next match. I hope they do better than what they are doing now.

Maye people have started to blame Barcelona for the close performance they had against Almería while they were even close to losing points in this match against a team like Almería which could have put Xavi under too much pressure, but Sergi Roberto the player of Barcelona had epic performed and again he saved his team, Almería tried to take a draw in this match for two times but Sergi Roberto scored the winning goal for his team two times.
Sergi Roberto got injured in the game against Granada and now in this match, he can have a good performance against Almería.

Actually Real Madrid did not really perform the way they are supposed to because I was thinking that Deportivo Alaves will seriously find it difficult to cope in that match because they are no match with Real Madrid but it was quite unfortunate that real Madrid was unable to utilize the opportunity they have over Deportivo Alaves and also what surprises me on that match was how real Madrid was struggling for a goal on the first half of the match. So perhaps to an extent I was thinking that the match will surely end with draw until real Madrid was able score and win the match and now they have regain there first position, so if they keep up with there wining statistics they may likely win the trophy.

[temple]

Far too early to say this as there are still 21! games to go. Real Madrid has so much experience and they can patiently play their game and wait for Girona to make mistakes. As you can see Girona is playing an almost perfect season and is Real Madrid close? That's the problem, Real Madrid doesn't make lots of mistakes. The pressure for Girona will remain high, but I think the objective to finish the season as a club from the top four is realistic. Maybe if they are still leading after 27 games or so, it is time to grab for the title.

There are still many games left for this season so there will be many surprises that may occur in the second half of the season. Real Madrid and Barcelona have dominated La Liga with or without competition from Girona, but we see that Girona's ability so far is still competent enough to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Let's see how far Girona's consistency is and whether they can continue on their winning path or if they struggle when a number of their players suffer injuries in the second half of the season.

Maybe no coach expects this to happen, but if players are constantly forced to play then I'm sure they will get tired and cause problems. Real Madrid can overcome that because they have a much better and more complete squad depth compared to Girona, so if this happens then Girona will have a much more difficult time dealing with it compared to Real Madrid.

This is what I mentioned before about all the experience that Real Madrid has and how they understand to invest a certain minimum to yet claim the top of the table. It was said that this game against Alaves was supposed to be an easy win, but that is disregarding the fact that Real Madrid doesn't care whether it is easy, close or dominance. The only thing that counts is the 3 points after the game and Real Madrid is very good at achieving that even when the clock is running down and time is against them. But there we are with Real Madrid being first again.

Escaping draw match is one of the best game for Los Blancos this season, they will stick to improvement of their strategy in next game. A challenging match for Real Madrid who thought they could easily win Deportivo Alavés without any threats, they got a little bit surprise when the referee issued a straight red card to Nacho Fernandez, Los Blancos was forced to play their very best with one man down. Perhapes somehow they manage to maintain dominating the game and Lucas Vasquez scored injury time to give Real Madrid the lead over the home side.

Playing for a draw match that didn't happen upon they are the home team hosting the match with a complete eleven male players while their visitor "Real Madrid'' had only ten male players because of a red card given.
After losing to Real Madrid in this match, Deportivo Alaves dropped from their previous 12 spots to the 16th spot(3 points above the relegation zone) However, Real Madrid's victory over Deportivo Alaves in today's match has moved them up over Girona(although the same points).

With this victory, Real Madrid now has the same points as Girona and is 7 points ahead of Barcelona. I highly doubt that Real Madrid won't be champions this season

Just like I predicted to a draw for Girona vs Bentis in I e of the comments,  it's sad for Girona to have allowed bentis to come from behind in such manner and that is what we must likely see as a good point for real bentis because had it been that they were able to make the equalization goals when there still enough time,  I am sure real bentis could have won the match.

I don't know why Girona who is a more stronger club and team in this round become weak along the line because everyone expected a steady win for them but the reverse was the case and the outcome of the match have chucked everybody.

Vaquez gave solution for real madrid during the injury time. It's bad to see that nacho got a red card from unnecessary thing. Alaves played very solid against real madrid and madrid is now at the top of current standing after girona was getting draw against betis. Betis was a very strong club and it makes sense girona struggled to beat it. Draw seems the best result for girona right now. Glad to see madrid can still get three points even though it must go through very difficult game against alaves. Brahim diaz got several chances but he was still wasteful without making a proper execution.
Real madrid can have big gap as long as the girona will keep lose points caused by getting draw against its opponent. girona seems start to decline again after it was reaching the peak performance.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti's army is trying hard to chase top team Girona. Obviously Alaves is not Real Madrid's opponent in this match in terms of form, position on the rankings as well as current strength. Although challenging, they got three crucial away points to take the top spot in La Liga in the context of Girona's stumble. The situation became more difficult for Carlo Ancelotti and his team when captain Nacho Fernandez was sent off in the 54th minute. The surprise came at 90+2 minutes. From Toni Kroos's corner, Lucas Vazquez chose an intelligent position to send an accurate header into the top left corner of the goal. The deciding goal is always the minimum victory in a position with few people for Real Madrid.
Girona was held to a 1-1 draw by Real Betis. After 18 rounds, the two teams had 45 points, but Real Madrid ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference.

At the same time, Girona doesn't look like a team that'll slow down so time will tell.

Both Girona and Real Madrid look struggling in their games, but Mentality and capability make the different results of the games. Real Betis being a strong team while playing at home makes Girona have faced challenges in maintaining their form to top the table before January. It was a good decision to bet on Girona to score, despite the odds being quite big. You have a big confidence in their ability to score even in a challenging game.

Real Madrid scoring a late goal against Alaves makes them climbing to the top of the table. This makes the competition at the top is intense with Real Madrid keep being favored due to their strong mentality. The big teams might settle the top spots, making it harder for Girona to reclaim the top of the table, Girona doesn't look like a team that will give up, and they might continue to be a competitive side in La Liga.

[boltz]

Seems like Real Madrid magic is still there and this game was mega hard for both teams to win and Alaves had everything on the table to win but not even a red card can stop Real nowadays and Girona should be worried for keeping that 1st place for the second part of the LaLiga season. I must also remark Ancelotti and his fines skill when it comes to get important and vital points when his team is having a bad day.

[tusandii]

Today we have one interesting match between Betis v Girona can Girona maintain their position in the standings? Betis is always a worrying opponent when playing at home and Girona is the strongest team in La liga, I didn't see Sportsbook favored one of them and this makes us a gambler a little confused. could Sportsbook estimate that the two teams will draw? because if the end result draw will not affect their position at the top of the standings still 3 points ahead. To place a bet we should have to wait for the match to run in the first half and observe how the two teams play.

Odds are very close between Real Betis and Girona. If we take on consideration that Real Betis won their last six games against Girona and that Betis are playing home at around 2.7 while Girona playing away at 2.5 then it shows definitely that Girona are better and at the same time, Real Betis are annoying when facing top teams as you said.
Classically, Real Betis are favourite but this season Girona showed exceptional skills and they have the upper hand in that game if they play as they used to do against Barcelona and the others.

La Liga this season is quite different than previous years with new team, Girona, being on top but also the narrow gap between the first teams in the standings. Even Athletic Bilbao joined the race for Champions League spots and Real Sociedad aren't far from them too.

If we look at the history of meetings between the two clubs, Real Betis will definitely be the favorite, but if we look at the depth of performance of the two clubs, Girona must definitely be more favored. The fact is that Girona has been able to perform consistently this season and even temporarily leads in La Liga, whereas several seasons ago, Girona was just a weak club that had not have shown something impressive and this season Girona is able to show their true strength and this match will be very difficult to predict.
But in my opinion, in today's match, Real Betis against Girona will end in a draw because Betis has known every weakness of Girona for a long time, but Girona will hold back attacks until it ends in a draw because Girona doesn't want to lose points in this match, so in any case, if the match ends in a win, the score will definitely be very close.
Yes, it is true that LaLiga currently has changes after Girona managed to consistently be in first place, many clubs have become inspired to want to do the same thing as Girona, so it is not surprising that other clubs are currently trying to continue to chase the rankings above them, but it is very difficult and up for grabs. the LaLiga title has become more competitive.

I'm surprised to see Real Madrid gets difficulty to win the match against Alaves. It was getting worse when Nacho got a red card in minute 54'. I guessed Real Madrid won't win the match and probably got a draw only. Luckily, Real Madrid still could score a single goal in minute 90+2'. Lucas Vazquez is the hero of Real Madrid today.

In this match, we can't say that Alaves is weak, they are strong enough. It is proven that they could make difficulty for Real Madrid, the match almost ended with a draw. But Real Madrid was quite lucky that they could get full points.

Girona gets draw and it helps madrid to take over the first position. It will be so good to see madrid stay at the first position till the end of season. Real Madrid has made numerous attempts to penetrate Alaves's defensive line, however, the lack of key players such as Vini has weakened their attacking force. It is evident that Madrid has only made a limited number of goal attempts, however, thanks to Glad Vazquez, they have a chance to secure three points after he scored the sole goal of the game during injury time.
I was very happy with the result. The number of points scored in the game was not important at all as long as Real Madrid emerged as the victors, and I am content with that outcome. Madrid is starting to make the chance to win la liga becomes even bigger.
Girona is not playing good against betis and i understood it caused by betis is also very strong opponent. Girona shall repeat the same result in upcoming games to give real madrid confidence to win the la liga this season.

The situation in Barcelona is not good for Xavi and he lost many players during this season because of them getting injured and since they don't have good financial power to buy some more players, Xavi should try to keep working with the players they have got in the team.
For example, Marcos Alonso the player of Barcelona got injured hardly recently and now it seems he should get Arthroscopy which means he will be absent for one month.
However even before he got injured, he didn't have a good performance in Barcelona.
