La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Madrid must consider this because if this continues to be allowed to recruit then I think this could disrupt their stability. As for the current striker problem, even though this is also a little bit important, but until now their attacking line is still quite good even if they try to bring in a pure striker now, it's actually not a problem, it's just that it's rare to transfer star players in January because they always rely on the end of the season to sign bigger players (star players).

Of course, Real Madrid will still consider bringing in a pure striker this season. They lost their best center forward after Benzema decided to leave and so far Ancelotti has always rotated and no longer relies on 4-3-3 as his best formation. Since Ancelotti knows Bellingham's abilities, 4-3-1-2 is the main formation that Ancelotti always considers in many matches. They got satisfactory results from this strategy even if Ancelotti did not play a center forward.

Bellingham is very helpful as a second striker and also as an attacking midfielder. His ability to score goals is one of the advantages for Real Madrid this season even though they do not have a reliable center forward. Real Madrid needs to bring in a pure center forward this season, this means they don't just rely on Bellingham all season with all his luck.

Real Madrid is very careful in choosing players. Joselu is still temporarily replacing Benzema. But I see he cannot fill this void. Recruiting a new striker is necessary. Is Real Madrid planning to negotiate and convince striker Kylian Mbappe?
Real Madrid intended to completely withdraw from the Mbappe recruitment deal after this player could not leave PSG in the summer transfer window of 2023 and 2022. But I believe they are ready to give up the habit of not spending a lot of money in the winter to welcome the best striker in the world. They will still wait for Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid has just signed an extension contract with coach Ancelotti. Coach Ancelotti will not easily give up the Kylian Mbappe deal. He is the last piece of the team's puzzle that is missing. To continue developing the current project with star players like Vinicius and Rodrygo alongside Jude Bellingham.

Marcos Alonso the payer of Barcleen decided to have surgery because of the pain in his back and he is surely going to be out for a long time and this is bad news for Barcelona. However, they had no other way than to let this player have the surgery.
In the game between Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, Marcos Alonso got injured and he couldn't play for Barcelona.
So far Marcos Alonso played in 7 games for his team.

Girona vs Atletico Madrid will be our concern this is not an easy match but somehow I'm sure Girona is not defeated I mean the worst thing that can happen is a draw or Girona win because so far no team can beat Girona except Real Madrid, will Atletico Madrid give Girona's 2nd defeat? I know anything can happen it's just that this time Girona is still favored because playing at home and is motivated to replace Real Madrid at the top of the standings, my prediction is Girona 2-1 Atletico Madrid or ended in a 1-1 draw. For Getafe vs Rayo Vallecano I think Getafe deserves to win because Rayo Vallecano in the worst performance in the last 5 matches 3 times lost 2 wins.

Girona vs Atletico Madrid’s match will be the toughest match of the week in the hope Laliga next week. I went through their statistics and I see that  Atletico Madrid won three and draw the remaining two; but on paper this season, Girona should be the favorite due to their form this season, and I am sure Girona will try to win this match so that they can keep their consistency and keep fighting for the title together with Real Madrid and Barcelona. I am also seeing Girona winning this match 2-1

Yes this is great news as it would be a big loss if he left the football stages once and for all one day. I think it would have been interesting to see him take responsibility of the national team of Brazil, but now that he decided to stay with Real Madrid I think it is more beneficial. He also can't let go as it seems. If you have the best job in the world in football and then you become older, I think it is also hard to let go.

Real Madrid management gave the fans the best Christmas gift by extending extending the contract of Carlo Ancelotti at the club to the summer of 2026. The Italian manager have been very instrumental to the club's success in recent years as he has used his managerial experience to bring solutions to some of the tactical issues at the club.
After Karim Benzema left the club last summer, the club was without a recognized striker and that raised concerns about Carlo Ancelotti's ability to manage a Madrid team without a striker but he's been able to efficiently manage the team by converting Jude Bellingham who was known as a central midfielder at Borussia Dortmund to become a false 9 and that decision has worked well for the club

But Jude Bellingham was more like a Christmas present that nobody saw coming. I am really sure that nobody at Real Madrid had an idea that they just bought a player who could fill so many gaps at the same time and take on so many important roles for the team. Yes maybe they thought that Bellingham is multifaceted and that he can play in the defense and the offense and help the team to find the right balance, but scoring so many goals was beyond their imagination.

[bering]

Joselu did not come with a purchase but he is only on a season-long loan from Espanyol so in this case it is possible for Ancelotti to still look for a player who fits Madrid's style for the position of pure striker at this time.
Indeed, the presence of Joselu and the other players in the attack for now is still very good but still next season Joselu will already leave and this is quite the right time to find a suitable player according to the criteria of Madrid and Ancelotti.

There is still time for now especially with the current situation for Madrid they can still delay even though the winter transfer is in sight but they can still hold back if they still don't find a suitable candidate for a pure striker but this should not be allowed to drag on because after all their deadline for finding candidates is until the end of this season.

Just like i said before Real Madrid priority for winter transfer is they want to gets at least 1 defender player and seems this is urgent because we all know Real Madrid was losing some of important players on that position and recently the players such as Robert Renan from Zenit St Petersburg, Sporting player Goncalo Inacio, and Manchester United player Raphael Varane was into their radar and few more hours winter transfer window will be opened so lets see which players will Real Madrid buy but i am sure Real Madrid will gets new defender player soon

Currently Real Madrid have no problem with their attacking lines because the players just like Rodrygo, Vinicius, Joselu or even Bellingham still able to performing well and scores goals for each matches so i am not sure Real Madrid will give their priority to gets new attackers this january and after end of this season Joselu loan duration will be expired and he will return to his team Espanyol so in my opinion Real Madrid will only buy new attackers next summer but not this january because buy new defender is more important than gets new attackers

Girona vs Atletico Madrid’s match will be the toughest match of the week in the hope Laliga next week. I went through their statistics and I see that  Atletico Madrid won three and draw the remaining two; but on paper this season, Girona should be the favorite due to their form this season, and I am sure Girona will try to win this match so that they can keep their consistency and keep fighting for the title together with Real Madrid and Barcelona. I am also seeing Girona winning this match 2-1

If they want to stay at the top of the standings then Girona must win this match because this match will determine their fate to compete strongly with Real Madrid at the top of the standing. For this reason, Michel must be able to stabilize the performance of his team when facing Atletico Madrid. Apart from that, several of Girona key players were hit by injuries which meant that michel had to be able to rotate players wisely enough to secure this match with a win.

Apart from that, I see that Herrera will join the squad on January 4 and if he can be perfectly fit, maybe Herrera will be able to help the team when they face Atletico madrid. But I don't doubt Girona performance in the home match next week because as long as they don't lose Dovbyk up front then I think they will easily find the back of their opponents goal. Dovbyk is quite productive when it comes to scoring goals so he will be a big threat to Atletico Madrid defense.

The upcoming match between Girona and Atletico Madrid indeed seems poised to be a tough and closely contested encounter in La Liga. Atletico Madrid's record of three wins and two draws reflects their solid maintainance of their performance that shows their resilience. But I think they need more than that if they want to climb higher on the table.

However, Girona's consistency suggests they are a force to be reckoned with. Girona will likely approach this match with the intent to maintain their impressive form and stay competitive in the title race alongside Real Madrid. Girona's determination to beat Atletico Madrid could lead to a closely contested battle. I think they have capability to break down Atletico's defense and capitalize on scoring opportunities. I expect Girona to win this game.

[shogun47]

I believe from now on it all depends on his success over the next few years. At some point I thought that Ancelotti wants to slowly pull out of the business because it is too stressful for him to have to be available 24/7 year round as a Real Madrid coach, but he seems to be in a great condition physically and mentally and he still seems to be enjoying the game. He is on fire sometimes despite his age and despite being this calm guy he usually is. But you can see that he wants more trophies especially in the Champions League. He could now have his final little era and let's see what his decision will be in 2026.

I doubt he will want to manage Real Madrid beyond 2026 if he has won more trophies with them, such as the Champions League and La Liga, by that time. I also never imagined him signing a new contract with them because of how exhausting his job as a manager will be and how he will want to take a break during the season, which he can't get enough of while coaching a club side team like Real Madrid. I wish him the best in his next two years at Real Madrid; I have high expectations for him, and he appears to be the type of manager who will excel and make the most have made the best out of this team by the time he’s leaving.

But I enjoy how everybody was wrong again and believed all the rumors that were spread on the Internet. Wasn't it this guy Fabrizio Romano who also stated publicly that Ancelotti would go to Brazil? I don't remember if I saw him posting about it, but this guy is spreading rumors all the time and of course if you spread 1,000 rumors, some of them will be true most likely. I spread the rumor that Mbappe will one day play for Real Madrid, but this one about Ancelotti going to Brazil was a big fail in my opinion. That guy should not be followed if it was him as he has no clue what's going on behind the scenes.

I suspect this match will be boring because as far as I know both teams play with defensive style this means that there will be a few goal in this match no more than 2 goals, regarding who is more favored, Girona should be worth for it and they have the advantage as a home team. On the other hand Atletico Madrid has a bad record lately defeated 2 times of course it will have an impact on the mentality and performance of the player., but this is just a temporary prediction, we don't know how this match will end. By the way, the bookie offers the same odds to both teams yeah maybe they predict both teams will draw. I will take a little risk of betting on Girona, however Girona will not lose.

Lewandowski will be stagnant. There will be no vast improvement to happen to him caused by he has reached his peak. Just got an update regarding his future in barcelona. Laporta and lewandowski's agent has agreed for his client will not be for sale, but the consequence if lewandowski must have agreed if his salary will remain the same. There was an agreement between him and the club to raise his salary every year, but since he had been making a new agreement with the club then lewandowski's salary will not be raising up.

So much news has been reporting this and the major problem is now between him vs xavi. Xavi was extremely disappointed and upset with his performance, as he felt that he was being lazy in his efforts to retrieve the ball. Lewandowski is just standing and did nothing in the game.
Lewandoski needs to be more cooperated with xavi caused by he was playing so badly. It's caused by the fact that when people were not even thinking if lewandoski's performance will be declining a lot like this time.

When I read the news and how it was said that Xavi screamed at Lewandowski, I wished I would have seen the whole game to build my own point of view, but I think I understand what Xavi is saying. Lewandowski was very flexible with his movements on the pitch in the past and he scored a lot of goals with his instinct and his superior speed and physical condition. His movements were unique and he was a powerhouse on the pitch who could run for 97 minutes straight without taking a break. But this is the problem that Xavi should understand himself. Lewandowski is not 25 years old and when they signed him, this problem must be part of the calculation. They can't expect the same game from Lewandowski that he played for Bayern Munich. Xavi should know himself that he wasn't the same at the end of his career. But now that things are not going that well, Xavi is trying to find someone to put the blame on.

When a new manager is appointed at a club, it takes some time for the club's players to adapt to the new manager's tactics, and Real Madrid did not want to waste that time, which is why they extended Ancelotti's contract again. Several goals in front of Real Madrid, maybe Real Madrid will fulfill those goals through Ancelotti. Real Madrid missed out on the Champions Trophy and the La Liga title last season, but this season they might be thinking about these two big titles together. Since the start of the season, Real Madrid have been considered favorites for this season's Champions League trophy and La Liga title. Real Madrid can win these two trophies if Ancelotti works harder and implements the right strategy.

I agree with you. When a new coach is appointed, it takes time for the players to develop a friendly relationship with the coach and for the players to adapt to the coach's match strategy. Real Madrid management does not want to take this risk at the moment. Because Real Madrid management knows very well that their squad is not strong enough this season. Real Madrid are consistently playing well only because of Ancelotti's excellent match tactics and strong midfield. So hiring a new coach at this moment would have increased the chances of Madrid's performance deteriorating. Madrid boss Florentino Pérez is very experienced. He knows very well what his club needs. And extending Ancelotti's contract until 2026 was a smart decision by the Madrid management.

Changing coaches is a normal thing that happens in football, but the effect of changing coaches will have an impact on the team's performance. It is very often found that teams that have just changed coaches have to start from zero again because the coach needs time to combine tactical, technical, physical and psychosocial development in his players.

A successful coach can be measured by his team's wins and losses, but when controlling a new team a coach must adapt to the character of the players who will become his subordinates. Real Madrid has really become one with Ancelotti leadership style, this season they are in a good trend, they don't want the squad formed by Ancelotti to be manipulated by other coaches, keeping Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabeu is a very effective step for Real Madrid.

A change of manager is a very common thing but it only happens when the former manager is replaced by a better manager. Ancelotti was not thinking of removing him because he is not doing well for Real Madrid, but he wanted to take charge of the Brazilian team, so he wanted to leave the club on his own. Although he wants to leave the responsibility of the club on his own, the club did not want to leave him at the moment because the club may not have found a manager with a good mind like him at the moment and another big thing is that the strategy that Real Madrid is currently playing is happy with the results of that strategy. Since Ancelotti has a good understanding with each player, if the team is to succeed, Ancelotti is the most likely to succeed.

Perez with his two times of working with Carlo Ancelotti, knows well that the coach is very good to maintain stability in the club. He is good at keeping good sentiment and working relationship between the coach and many star players who usually have very high ego.

The coach is also very good at giving young players some kind of excellent advice and enlighten their career at new positions. He succeed with Andrea Pirlo at AC Milan and it is not the only player who revived their career with Carlo management.

Real Madrid currently have many young players and they are going to buy some more youth players, Endrick will join the club soon as his transfer was completed months ago. With this transitional phase in the club, Perez surely saw that there is no other better coach for Real than Carlo.

[Luzin]

Personally I wouldn't expect too much from his first debut, because it would be very difficult to adapt, especially since Madrid game is so classy that not all players are able to match it. At least Madrid fans can get what they have been waiting for.

I'm looking forward to this. There were rumors a few games ago that he would make the first game but that didn't happen. I hope this is true, because I feel he has extraordinary abilities and will make a difference. I was quite worried when he just arrived and was injured. I feel sorry that he will become the second Hazard. That may be what caused Real Madrid to change team doctors last November. Hopefully they find the right doctor who is smart in managing the player's condition.

Marcos Alonso the payer of Barcleen decided to have surgery because of the pain in his back and he is surely going to be out for a long time and this is bad news for Barcelona. However, they had no other way than to let this player have the surgery.
In the game between Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, Marcos Alonso got injured and he couldn't play for Barcelona.
So far Marcos Alonso played in 7 games for his team.

Marcos Alonso absence after surgery to treat a problem in the lower part of his back will not really affect Barcelona performance because throughout this season Alonso has only made seven appearances in all competitions. He is starting to lose the trust of Xavi Hernandez due to his inconsistent performance, Barcelona is even ready to let Alonso go next summer even though on a free transfer, this season will most likely be Alonso last season in a Barcelona uniform.

It's not a bad news for barcelona. You can take a look at his stats with barcelona. He was rarely playing with the club and it means he has not become the main choice by xavi. Marcos will be leaving from barcelona with free agent. Xavi is not caring more about him.
Barcelona prefers to use other RB rather than him like cancelo. cancelo consistently becomes the starting line up for barcelona. The absence of marcos alonso will not give impact to the performance from the club.

Barcelona is still owning some good RB to play which is also helping the club. This is not a serious problem encountered by barcelona. I would try to sell marcos before he was injured but yeah since it's impossible to predict the future.
The better if xavi puts his focus on to the other thing like provide a good striker for barcelona since lewandowski is not good like what he used to be. The era of him is finished.

GWS for marcos but this guy seems has not place anymore in the barcelona right now. Xavi is rarely putting him as starting line up.

This is very bad news for Barcelona because they are losing key players, and I believe that is why they are not performing well this season. I believe that Barcelona will not be able to compete with Real Madrid and Girona this season because they are not in the form that allowed them to win the La Liga trophy last season. Xavi should simply try to sign some new players this summer to strengthen the team and compete with other clubs. Barcelona is facing Las Palmas, and I feel the match will be a bonus for them because they are not in good enough shape to compete with Barcelona. I believe they will collect three points and surpass Athletico Madrid in the league table if they failed to defeat Girona, Although the match will be very difficult because Girona are in great form and are serious about winning the league this season but Athletico Madrid can defeat them if they will play more then them. But I still believe that laliga trophy this season is for Real Madrid.

But I still believe that laliga trophy this season is for Real Madrid.

It is difficult for Xavi to bring in new players, while Barcelona finances are very bad, currently they can only wait for free players from the transfer market and can free players really be relied on for their skills? sometimes they are even old, like some of the Barcelona players who were brought in for free at that time.
I dont doubt the performance or skill of free players but wouldn't it be better to bring in players at a price that isn't too high who can make a good contribution to the team to be able to strengthen the defense or attack line for the team but back to finances Barcelona can't bring in quality players like us expect.

maybe if this season Barcelona can't win the La Liga title I will understand because the condition of this team is really in a bad condition and this is a difficult burden for Xavi to be able to try to reach the top of the standings with the existing players and these injured players maybe not before. It is expected, but injury can happen at any time if you cannot maintain your physical condition. but I hope that there are big investors who invest in Barcelona to get quality players.

regarding the competition at the top of the standings, it doesn't matter to me if Barcelona can't compete in La Liga or in La Liga because there are already representatives from Real madrid who will beat Girona and hopefully at least get runners up.

[asriloni]

La Liga matchday 19 of 38 will begin tomorrow and Getafe vs Rayo Vallecano will be team opening that matchday match, currently on matchday 19 have super big match between top 2nd teams will face 3rd standings team Girona vs Atletico Madrid. Current position, Atletico Madrid left 7 points from Girona and likely is not small points left if want keep for fighting La Liga tittle race and Girona won't loss their points to pressure Real Madrid on top position with the same 45 points awhile.

Girona vs Atletico Madrid will be our concern this is not an easy match but somehow I'm sure Girona is not defeated I mean the worst thing that can happen is a draw or Girona win because so far no team can beat Girona except Real Madrid, will Atletico Madrid give Girona's 2nd defeat? I know anything can happen it's just that this time Girona is still favored because playing at home and is motivated to replace Real Madrid at the top of the standings, my prediction is Girona 2-1 Atletico Madrid or ended in a 1-1 draw. For Getafe vs Rayo Vallecano I think Getafe deserves to win because Rayo Vallecano in the worst performance in the last 5 matches 3 times lost 2 wins.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Girona has very bad record against altetico madrid. I can't use it as my data to determine whether girona will be win or lose but i knew that most important thing if girona will perform with the best squad.
The situation may undergo a remarkable transformation due to Girona's decision to give their all against Atletico Madrid. Bookies were favoring girona slightly to win the game against atletico madrid. It seems they have learned from the match between girona vs barcelona.

The bookies employed that result as a means of gauging Girona's strength relative to Atletico Madrid, but I have a suspicion that historical factors heavily influenced the outcome of this match.
The draw seems to yield a favorable outcome for both clubs, as they can aid Real Madrid in firmly holding onto the top position this time. Atletico madrid was the strongest rival for real madrid. Im sure girona will face difficulty in beating atletico madrid.
These clubs will be playing safely or they will be feeling so good to have draw as the main resut. Michel needs to put the main concern on the defensive line.

Atletico madrid was a club that's very often in using counter attack.

[Tony116]

I believe from now on it all depends on his success over the next few years. At some point I thought that Ancelotti wants to slowly pull out of the business because it is too stressful for him to have to be available 24/7 year round as a Real Madrid coach, but he seems to be in a great condition physically and mentally and he still seems to be enjoying the game. He is on fire sometimes despite his age and despite being this calm guy he usually is. But you can see that he wants more trophies especially in the Champions League. He could now have his final little era and let's see what his decision will be in 2026.

He still seems strong enough to handle the business and that's why he agreed to signing the renewal of his contract till 2025 if he has got challenge with it I'm sure he wouldn't have opted for the contract and even the management of Real Madrid wouldn't have agreed to the extension of his contract aswell.

I was thinking he would have gone to the Brazilian team coach them over a period of time and probably end his career there with a retirement but then he has still got the will to be at Real Madrid and that's why he will still agree to staying in Madrid as against going to Brazil. He has still got love for the Madrid team and I'm optimistic he will help the team further scale even greater heights in this season and subsequent seasons to come, so I'm not expecting any less from him and his boys this time having accepted to stay back at Madrid rather than move to Brazil.

I was actually a little surprised to see that he has extended his contract. Because I thought he was going to Brazil as the coach. But I guess he thinks he still has a lot to gain with Real Madrid. That's why he has extended his contract till 2026. Now I think Real Madrid is going to have a good and successful next couple of years as well. I also wonder if he will be able to bring in Mbappe into the squad. If he does, it is definitely going to be insane. Let's see what kind of squad he builds in the next couple of years. Expecting at least one champion's trophy as long as he is here.a

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

The current situation is very confusing. On one hand, Real Madrid needs a number 9 but they are performing well without them. On other hand, despite these rumors, I don't think Real Madrid would sign Mbappe after he kind of betrayed Real Madrid a few years ago and signed a deal with PSG. Everyone was thinking that Real Madrid got him but he said otherwise. It makes everything confusing.

Real Madrid are doing well without a number 9 right now. Joselu is doing kind of good but he is not a world class player after all. The rumors are not strong either about Mbappe coming to Real Madrid. Endrick Felipe won't be coming this season as far as I know. Things are getting very interesting and I will be watching every moment of it.

Real Madrid's condition is not in a poor position because their current strength is still strong enough to compete in La Liga, however this is talking about jersey number 9 and so far they have not yet determined a suitable replacement to replace the previous player. There are times when Real Madrid's front line is unable to score goals and this is a consideration why in the upcoming transfer market they have to bring in another striker as a step to maximize the front line.

Joselu is not the typical player that Ancelotti likes and he only started a few games. Mbappe would be a solution for the front, but we never know what his condition will be like now. Belligham cannot be forced to continue scoring goals because there are times when he will stop for various reasons and if that happens Real Madrid must have other options.
