La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[wakier]

There are four teams in the Lalliga this season that are in a very active competition with each other,those teams have gotten a pattern of play which makes it easier for them to win other smaller teams when they meet them,but they only struggle with each other when they go head to head,and the team that is much stronger will eventually win.Madrid,Girona, Barcelona and Athletico have been the four best teams in the Lalliga,and they are the teams that will qualify for the top four and the Champions league next season.I think with what I have seen so far,Girona can go on to win the league,while Madrid will come out second this time.

It seems like You are too confident in Girona's achievement of winning the league this season even though Real Madrid is still strong enough to compete at the top and the top 2 teams Girona and Real Madrid have the same points, so these two teams still have the same chance of progressing, indeed Girona is the team that is consistent at the moment after Madrid but Laliga still has a lot of matches so if Girona wants the title at least Girona has to beat other teams so that the points continue to increase and don't be left behind by Real Madrid. If in the end Girona is able to win the league then that will be a very proud achievement because for the first time Girona can win Laliga, a fairly tough competition second only to the EPL.

Achieving victory over Las Palmas was achieved with great difficulty. Barcelona admits  that they now have unstable squad depth in both the attack and defense lines.

Luckily Barcelona got the penalty. They didn't lose 3 points.  If they had lost or drawn, the gap between them and Girona and Real Madrid would have been even bigger. They are currently 7 points clear, which seems like a lot.
But looking at Barca's match, La Palmas was clever enough to create an offside strategy. They made a high defense. But for the second half Xavi made changes, Barcelona was more patient and dominated the ball a lot. This proved effective they can make 2 goals and win.

Barcelona didn't have a shot on target in the first half. The performance, especially in the first half, was abysmal, but they managed to secure 3 points somehow. There's a need for improvement in the upcoming games, but getting 3 points is what matters at the end of the day. Las Palmas is currently the second-best defensive team in La Liga. Barcelona almost lost the game but luckily started 2024 with a win, thanks to Ferran goal and a late penalty by Guandogan.

Barcelona once again walked on the brink and I can’t say that their victory looks fair. The last time Barcelona won by two goals or more was in September (if all competitions are taken into account), that's more than 20 games ago! It's surprising that they are still contenders (even with small chances) for the title, and Xavi is still the head coach. In fact, Barcelona has ceased to be a “dangerous top team” at all, at the moment it is an ordinary club from the top of the standings.

Barcelona's victory continued to struggle at the end, I think this is the sharpness of the front line still blunt continues with a penalty prize can be said to be a bonus if not then the result can be a draw.

In fact I would say that Girona is more dangerous now than Barcelona even though the depth of their squad is full of talented players but cannot provide stunning results despite winning in dramatic fashion, I don't know what Xavi's situation is clear he will definitely be angry with his team's performance, but that is not expected by Xavi.

It's terrible stats from sevilla. The club was owning the ball even often than bilbao but it's only making two goal attempts. It seems sevilla will be trapping at the current position for years. The club needs to rebuild its financial first after it was paying a huge debt.
The new coach was not giving a good impact to the sevilla as it was also going out from UCL earlier. I can't even believe how the financial problem was destroying the club like makes it back to be a mediocre club again.

Im putting all of my respects toward mendilibar since he was able helping sevilla to get the europa league this season. I believe that if sevilla would not get it without him but the management was sacking him too early without even gave him the second chance to play. Im not even satisfied with the stats owned by sevilla and it must admit that if bilbao is far stronger than sevilla. The nuance is sevilla likes a mediocre team this time. im not mocking sevilla but just said bsaed on what i have seen from the result of previous matches. Sevilla is shit now and it has no chance anymore to get back to the what it used to be.

It takes years for sevilla to rebuild the club to be the same like before sevilla was putting all of its key players for sale. Glad to see bilbao has managed to get three points from its opponent.
The club is not wasting opportunity to score two goals against sevilla even though there were many chances were missed.

Since Luis Mendilibar was sacked, Sevilla performance has gotten worse this season, they failed in the Champions League and also did not perform well in La Liga. Ramos et al received defeat after defeat in Laliga, even in yesterday match when they faced Bilbao where Sevilla had to give up at home with a score of 0-2. As a big team that often closes the season in 4th place, of course there have been major setbacks in their performance this season. There is no serious improvement from Sevilla management in the transfer market, so it will be difficult for them to achieve maximum results in Laliga.

4 defeats in the last 5 matches in La Liga is certainly a pretty bad performance from them. I even think they will be relegated this season as their ranking gets worse in Laliga. If you look at their defense line, it's not too bad this season, but their performance in attack is really not very aggressive in scoring goals. Maybe they have to improve on a large scale in this transfer window.

The match was quite tough for FC Barcelona, but Barcelona managed to beat Las Palmas in the dying minutes with a penalty kick. With a win over Las Palmas, FC Barcelona has recorded a second consecutive win, extending their unbeaten run to 3 matches in the league. Barcelona has moved to the third position in the La Liga table after defeating Las Palmas.

Barcelona almost started the year with not so good results if they didn't get a penalty to ensure a 2-1 win because it was quite difficult for Las Palmas to score again to get 1 point.
This is still a victory even though it is not very convincing, and because Atletico Madrid lost to Girona it means that Barcelona can move up to third place but actually it doesn't really matter because their efforts to maintain their chances in the title race are very difficult because the difference of 7 points is not an easy thing because Girona and Real Madrid are quite stable and can recover quickly when they get bad results. Maybe Barcelona can focus on the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League. In these three championships, they still have a chance, even though the Champions League is as difficult as winning La Liga this season.

I think Barcelona is lucky to have a player like İlkay Gündoğan in this team. In the game between Barcelona and Las Palmas, they were about to lose two important points against this team but İlkay Gündoğansaved his team and in the last moments of the game he used the penalty kick and scored the second goal for Barcelona to help them win the game with a 2-3 result against Las Palmas.
However, there is still a huge gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid or Girona in the La Liga table.

A penalty in overtime is luck, and Sinkgraven gets a red card and the lost one point. It cant be worse for a team, Las Palmas let a good game end disastrously.... even they are leading 1:0. Barcelona need a worldclass striker again in the future, Lewandowski isnt it at the moment and you can see that in Barcelonas games. A few days ago, Lewandoski had to deal with a small shitstorm with his dance video because the fans didnt think he should dance, he should score goals. In that game he was substituted in minute 72, Joao Felix came into the game. Lewandowski will probably have to look for a new club.

[rahmad2nd]

I don’t think they should sack Xavi considering how he is doing, he did not have any financial backup to recruit new players and as you guys have said, they don't have any proper squad depth. They rely on young players and they will get injured if the schedules are this tough. To remain at the top, these days financial backups are very necessary. Xavi is doing very well considering what he was given by the Barcelona Board.

I won't blame Xavi if he does not win anything this season. After all, injuries are not in his control. But he should be doing better than this. He is struggling against some weak teams which should not happen. Barcelona camp currently lacks motivation I believe, everyone's motivation is down. He should at least finish in the top 4 to play in the UCL next season. Athletico Bilbao are right behind them and they might snatch his top 4 spots if they mess up.

I remember what Gundogan said regarding his disappointment that his team's squad lacked a strong and solid mentality. he said the comparison between Barcelona and City, which had a strong mentality even though his team had fallen behind at first. Gundohan said that on the occasion when Barcelona suffered defeat at that time, and seeing the conditions in the squad dressing room was very worrying. in fact, Xavi confirmed what Gundohan said at that time. so, I tried to interpret it personally, if Barcelona's problems are not only related to injured players. however, their mentality and self-confidence are less solid. even though in terms of depth, Barcelona has competitive players. apart from that, IMO, Xavi has not succeeded in maximizing his system and strategy with the available players. in fact, even though Gavi has to be absent for an unspecified period of time, Barcelona can still optimize the available players. Xavi still has Gundohan who is rich in experience, mentality and an established player. De Jong, is one of the keys to Xavi's squad. Yamal, he could develop a lot if given lots of opportunities. Felix, a player who is willing to work hard even though he has not yet reached his playing level. plus, the other players have quality and maturity in their game. so, now for me, Xavi has to maximize and process his squad so that it returns to its true track. as for Lewa, the ups and downs in his performance are very normal, especially since he has just recovered from an injury. so, Xavi must maximize and implement the ideal system and strategy. thus, Barcelona still has a chance to compete with the teams above them. BTW, last night's match was really fortunate for Barcelona, ​​who in the end were awarded a penalty point which Gundohan was able to make good use of. next, Xavi must review his team's weaknesses.

The correct statement must be barcelona was lucky enough caused by the referee was awarding the club with penalty. It doesn't even matter how gundogan tried as long as referee was not awarding the club with penalty and no win for barcelona. The correct statement must be like this caused by penalty is the main reason that was helping the club so much. No penalty and no win for barcelona.

Girona and real madrid were able humiliating barcelona and that's the difference between those clubs. So, barcelona has no chance to compete for the title race if xavi is not improving the performance from the club.
Im very disappoting to see how barcelona was performing so poorly against the different team in the la liga.

The club being so wasteful. This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out by him. Xavi was the head coach of barcelona and it's his responsibility to make club performs better than before.
Im sure many blaugrana fans were also feeling disappointed with the result from the club.

[Nheer]

Xavi Hernandez will not be sacked afterall, Barcelona was lucky enough not to end the game in a draw tie, alot of mistakes was done on Barcelona side, but any how they manage to win the match. However, Las Palmas was the team that messed up big time, a match they were leading with 1-0 have suddenly changed to a draw tie and also they couldn't hold on much longer because Barcelona keep pressing and another goal was netted injury time after Las Palmas player was issued a red card, that weakened the entire squad that was planning for atleast draw tie.

Barcelona have not been performing well lately and it is really down to what Xavi impacts on the boys and if the performance is bad the club have every right to sack him and look for better alternatives. Their performance have been poor and even in the match Las Palmas were more threatening and had more chances to bury the match but they couldn’t and they got punished for that and the red card made it worse for them, the pushing was very unnecessary because the match was almost finished. Good result for Barcelona even with bad performance all that matters was securing maximum points.

Barcelona doesn’t look like they used to, they are slowly becoming a mid team and if they don’t take things seriously they may find it difficult to make it to the Champions League.

People are waiting to see Lewandowski that score 40 goals and rarely missing good opportunities like he used to do with Bayern Munich. Unfortunately, he isn't young any longer and I don't expect him to perform as in the previous years.
I know Barcelona found on him the best option when they recruited him in the previous season but he will not be definitely a long term option for them, rather a temporary solution until they find out a better striker..
Joao Félix doesn't appear to be the best option too so I wonder if the problem is in the team itself or several players dropping in performance in Barcelona!

[rendravolt]

Bad news has come for Barcelona because their wing-back Joao Cancelo is reported to have suffered a left MCL strain and is certain to be out for an undetermined amount of time. Joao Cancelo suffered this injury after the match against Las Palmas last night and he was pulled off the field because he was unable to continue the match. Now Barcelona has lost one of their strengths in defense and the absence of Joao Cancelo will certainly weaken their defense.

Xavi must be able to rotate his players again and it is possible that Sergi Roberto will temporarily fill the position left by Joao Cancelo. Barcelona cannot lose and they must continue the winning trend they have had in the last few weeks. But the problem lies in their next opponent because it will be against Real Betis and it will not be an easy match for them to beat.

Since İlkay Gundogan arrived in Barcelona from Manchester City he has been useful for Barcelona and also helped Barcelona to win matches. I wonder why Pep Guardiola could allow a player like İlkay Gundogan to leave Manchester City. Barcelona's win yesterday against Las Palmas has put them back in the La Liga title race.

Barcelona won with game 1:2, but the main thing is that they won, and the score is secondary. The first half was very difficult for Barcelona, but Xavi was able to turn the game around in the second half and we saw a completely different game.
Yes, you are right Gundogan is a very important player for Barcelona, but he was the same player for City. I couldn’t understand then why he made such a decision and decided to leave the City, to be honest, I still don’t understand why he did it. Barcelona is 7 points behind Real Madrid and Girona, and so far it seems that they will not be able to join these teams in the title race.

[Blitzboy]

Barcelona were very lucky to get 3 points against las Palmas. However, compared to the previous matches, Barcelona players have performed very well in this match. However  Las Palmas players were  confident in the home match. They  were able to attack a lot in this match. Las Palmas got a 1-0 lead in just 12 minutes of the match. Barcelona could not score any goal in the first half. However, Torres scored the first goal for  Barcelona at the beginning of the second half. Gundogan's performance was good throughout the match. After 90 minutes, Gundogan did not score from the penalty opportunity. And Barcelona won the match 2-1.

Xavi Hernandez will not be sacked afterall, Barcelona was lucky enough not to end the game in a draw tie, alot of mistakes was done on Barcelona side, but any how they manage to win the match. However, Las Palmas was the team that messed up big time, a match they were leading with 1-0 have suddenly changed to a draw tie and also they couldn't hold on much longer because Barcelona keep pressing and another goal was netted injury time after Las Palmas player was issued a red card, that weakened the entire squad that was planning for atleast draw tie.

Im glad Xavi won't be fired. The contest was a rollercoaster, right? Barcelona barely beating Las Palmas wasnt pretty. They must improve. Their offense and defense aren't what they used to be. Its worrying. The first half was boring, and Xavi was clearly unhappy. Though they won, it seemed like a loss. Barcelona must improve. They're still a top team, but they must play like it to stay there.

What a lifeline, Gundogan's penalty! Barcelona avoided a humiliating tie with that moment. This win should wake them up. We must stop relying on late saves. Xavi and the team must unite, repair those mistakes, and play Barca again. Its about proving they're still top contenders, not just keeping third place.

There are four teams in the Lalliga this season that are in a very active competition with each other,those teams have gotten a pattern of play which makes it easier for them to win other smaller teams when they meet them,but they only struggle with each other when they go head to head,and the team that is much stronger will eventually win.Madrid,Girona, Barcelona and Athletico have been the four best teams in the Lalliga,and they are the teams that will qualify for the top four and the Champions league next season.I think with what I have seen so far,Girona can go on to win the league,while Madrid will come out second this time.

We can indeed expect more from Girona this season. But on condition that they must be able to maintain their current performance. Because Girona always exceeds everyone's expectations this season. In fact, they managed to beat Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in their first meeting this season. And among the 3 teams, only Real Madrid is able to beat them this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Atletico have to admit that they are not much better than Girona this season.

Personally, I still see Real Madrid as having the potential to win the title. But Girona also has the potential to do it this season. So I can conclude that Girona and Real Madrid are the two clubs that will compete most fiercely this season. Both of them even have the same number of points at the moment. But if Real Madrid has a busier schedule and Girona doesn't. From this it can also be considered that your suspicions about Girona could come true.

Since İlkay Gundogan arrived in Barcelona from Manchester City he has been useful for Barcelona and also helped Barcelona to win matches. I wonder why Pep Guardiola could allow a player like İlkay Gundogan to leave Manchester City. Barcelona's win yesterday against Las Palmas has put them back in the La Liga title race.

Barcelona scouts good players that would helped the team in crucial moments, last night was a perfect illustration for a player to uplift the club. Las Palmas was leading from first half, they were desperate to net another goal but finally succumb because Barcelona didn't hold back, they reciprocate their actions and levelled the scores, then injury time, Gundogan comprehend a stunning penalty kick into the post. İlkay Gundogan deserves his flowers, his presence in Camp Nou have been significant and he's a key player in the midfield room for Barcelona.

At this point Sevilla is a sure target towards LaLiga 2  because it's clear that current team have no desire to actually play football and save this club for a real disaster that is relegation. It will also be the first time in club history when they will face this situation and the fact that they are in debt over 800 mil $ makes me thing they do want to go to LaLiga 2 and re-build a fresh team there under a new project. 

[rojan]

In today's match Las Palmas vs Barcelona two teams came to the field to play in the Spanish League. Barcelona team won the match by scoring 2 goals in today's match. I placed a bet in support of Barcelona team in today's match. I won the bet in today's match because Barcelona team played very well. But the game started.  Palmas player scored the first goal in the first 12 minutes. On the other hand, Barcelona team player F. Torres scored the first goal in the 55th minute. İ.  Gündoğan scored the 2nd goal at 90+3 minutes.

It will also be the first time in club history when they will face this situation and the fact that they are in debt over 800 mil $ makes me thing they do want to go to LaLiga 2 and re-build a fresh team there under a new project. 

It doesn't look like Sevilla has any hope of surviving in La Liga and they are now increasingly miserable because they sit in a position close to relegation. Several years ago they were a strong team in La Liga but for some reason they fell so deeply recently that they were unable to compete with even weak teams. Sevilla seemed to be running out of time and the previous defeat against Athletic Bilbao also hit them hard.

[Tony116]

Sevilla vs Athletic Club In today's match between two teams, Athletic Club scored the first goal in 30 minutes of the game. Then after half time, A. Paredes scored the second goal in 76 minutes. Sevilla team players tried hard but could not score any goal in today's match.  .I thought from the beginning that the players of the Sevilla team would not be able to play well and would not be able to score any goals. The reason is that the Sevilla team is far behind the Athletic Club team in the points table.

It's terrible stats from sevilla. The club was owning the ball even often than bilbao but it's only making two goal attempts. It seems sevilla will be trapping at the current position for years. The club needs to rebuild its financial first after it was paying a huge debt.

Im not even satisfied with the stats owned by sevilla and it must admit that if bilbao is far stronger than sevilla. The nuance is sevilla likes a mediocre team this time. im not mocking sevilla but just said bsaed on what i have seen from the result of previous matches. Sevilla is shit now and it has no chance anymore to get back to the what it used to be.
snip

The result did not surprise me. Athletic club is a team which is in the 5th position and doing very well constantly. Sevilla on the other hand, I don't know what happened to them. They can't seem to be doing anything at all. They are right around the relegation zone with 16 points. Who knows they might even get relegated this season. Who would say that they were the team who were in the top 4 just 2 seasons back? Last season they performed poorly as well and this season it is even worse.

But credits should be given where it is due. Athletic Club are now in the 4th position because Atletico Madrid lost that match against Girona. Athletic Club may even catch Barcelona if they can keep up since Barcelona is struggling.
