La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[marcous]

Barcelona and ATM still have the opportunity to reduce the point difference, but overtaking Madrid and Girona position is difficult. I predict Ancelotti and Michel will be able to stabilize their performance until the end of the season, but it is still too early to guess who will be the champion.

However, now that ATM has been knocked out of the top four by Bilbao, we can imagine how tough the challenges ahead will be when teams that have matches in European competitions maintain their respective positions in the standings. Girona and Bilbao are lucky in this case, Madrid, Barcelona and ATM should feel threatened even though they have status as elite teams.

I don't still believe Bilbao will be able to maintain that position long enough because they are just goal difference ahead of ATM and I still see them lucky to have gotten to the fourth position at this time, I still believe they will be displaced by ATM and Barcelona possibly soon because they don't have the form to maintaining that position.

Girona is actually becoming a strong rival to Madrid on the table this season and I think they may end up maintain the second position as against ATM and Barcelona who happens to be the elite team who would possibly want to get that position. Barcelona this season may possibly end at the fourth position which ATM can still make it to the third but real Madrid still remains the favourite to winning the title by the end of the season, I'm really impressed by the competitive nature of the la Liga this season and not like before when it did circled around some elite team.

To be honest, I also think the same as you about Bilbao, but for now the situation is almost the same as our previous doubts about Girona. I mean we never expected Girona to rise from a mediocre team to a team challenging for the title this season, I think Bilbao also has the potential to add to the dynamics of competition in fighting for tickets to the UCL next season.

I agree that Madrid is more favorite than Girona in terms of trophy hunting, because we know their reputation for dominating La Liga for a long time. Meanwhile, Girona, although currently collecting the same number of points, we are not so sure that they can win it, regardless of the depth of the squad between the two.

But overall, we certainly agree that Girona presence in the top four of the standings is the most attractive attraction for La Liga fans. Now that many Girona players are being looked at by big european clubs, their management is getting additional work to maintain the integrity of their squad.

I believe Real Madrid will win the La Liga trophy this season because of how I see Real Madrid playing in the league and Champions League, I don't think Girona can compete with them because since the season started, only Real Madrid has defeated them, and even if they meet in the second leg, I believe they will still beat them, because real madrid players will be back from injury. Since Ancelotti renewed his contract with Real Madrid, I believe he will win more trophies with the club and is a very talented coach and he can do the same, if Real Madrid buys mbappe this season I don't think they will get any club that can compete with Real Madrid in any competition because they will be stronger, Barcelona has already made mistakes, I don't think they can compete with Girona and Real Madrid again, they can just try and end up in top 4 and qualify to champions league next season again.

You have to look for more reasons why Real Madrid can win the title than any other rival team this season. If only because Real Madrid currently leads the standings, then Girona could also lead it in the next match. In fact, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will always be able to win all the games until the end of the season, so anything is possible.

Additionally, don't ignore the chances of Barcelona, ​​​​Atletico Madrid and Girona collecting more points than REal Madrid in the second half of the season. Real Madrid have problems that are still unresolved, but so far they have been very lucky to end many matches with wins. 7 points doesn't mean much for Barcelona to close the gap on Real Madrid, but of course there is always pressure to do that.

I think the same as you to be honest, Girona are good indeed but I don't think it is enough to put them ahead till the end of the season. Girona have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so they definitely have good skills but these are not. They have the combination of young and good players in the team which is working very well for them. But I think the match that will decide the fate of La Liga is the match between them in February. Whoever wins this match will get the hold of the League. If this ends in a draw then I think Real Madrid will still win the league, to be honest.

Barcelona isn't too bad this season because they actually started the season well, they did played well at the beginning of the season and we're able to be amongst top four for a while before their decline which is now a a problem to them but I still feel it's just temporary and they will be able to get pass this before the season end but may not be able to defend the title.

Barcelona will do better if they use their younger players such as Felix , victor roque and yamal, this can be seen in their last match, they were not doing so well althrough the first half of the game but after the substitution of lewandoski and bringing in victor roque the difference became clear as the opposing keeper was kept in tension because the attack became better and was always breaking through their defense unlike when it was just lewandoski who wasn't seeming like a threat from Barcelona to them. If such substitution is made most often I'm sure the likes of lewamdoski will sit up and do even better when they see that there's a possible better replacement for them.

Barcelona performance this season is not very good because they are far behind Real Madrid as the top of the standings. Indeed, they are still in the circle of teams that will compete for the title this season and they can even catch up on the point difference if they are able to maintain a winning trend. So far I see that Barcelona has not been stable enough in their performance in Laliga, even when they beat Las Palmas they had to try with all their might and also awarded a penalty kick which was able to enable Barcelona to win in this match.

If compared with Real Madrid, of course Real Madrid's strength this season is stronger, even in the first El Clasico match this season where Real Madrid was able to beat Barcelona with a score of 2-1. Thus Barcelona needs some improvements in this January transfer window. Xavi emphasized that their finances are not healthy enough so they will have a little difficulty getting quality players in the January transfer market.

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.

-snip
I feel sorry for Sevilla, they used to be a very original and interesting club, which when it was coached by Emery won the europa league and always played at a good level. Perhaps there was a change of management or they did not guess with the coach, because the results of Sevilla are terrible.

Yes, I 100% agree with you. I remember when they used to be called the European League team because they used to win the Europa League every season under Unai Emery. As far as I know, due to the financial debts, they had to let many key players go this season and they could not sign good players. That is why they are suffering. Last season they suffered as well but this season it is worse.
As for Athletic Club, it looks to me that they are taking the place of Sevilla right now. Sevilla used to be the 4th team usually before their downfall. The Athletic Club’s management is very good as well.
[/quote

I don't know if this is the main reason as they were struggling really a lot last season with all the key players being part of the team. I know that they won the Europa League and whenever a team wins something, it is hard to argue against them because their trophy is the best answer to any criticism. But the truth also is that Sevilla was pretty bad in La Liga and for some inexplicable reason they won all of their games in the Europa League and were even dominating teams like Manchester United. Nobody knows why that was possible, but the season in La Liga now is a continuation of their bad performances from the last season.

So true, the limitation on its financial condition doesn't give the new coach a way to develop the club properly. Mendilibar could still buy the players but unlike him the new coach must be selling all of its players due to the unstable financial condition faced by sevilla.
The club has too many debt and this is greatly impacting the performance from the club. This is also the main reason sevilla goes down so hard to the bottom. I meant that if we shall be anticipating the comeback of sevilla but it's unlikely to happen in a short time.

Sometimes this is the sad thing that happens in the world of football. When a club experiences a financial crisis it will definitely have a big impact on that condition. A coach may only be able to plan how to optimize them for the future, but unfortunately often that plan fails because it doesn't match the budget provided by the club. and in the end it is the coach who really has to rack his brains to play and optimize the existing squad. whereas sometimes expectations from the club are still quite high with such bad conditions.

Actually, not only Sevilla, but several other clubs may also have experienced this. as experienced by Barcelona last season until in the end Xavi could really start to change these conditions for the better. However, at that time Barcelona really took quite a high risk with their financial problems still unresolved.

That's true, sometimes club officials still think further back in the sense that they still feel they are the favorite team, have high expectations to the team performance will be fine. I think Xavi is a great coach in this case, where he was able to stabilize Barcelona performance even though they were facing a financial crisis. Barcelona luck lies in the legacy of players it has, unlike Sevilla which had to let go of its core players in the transfer window last summer.

Barcelona can still maintain its reputation as a title challenger, even though it is 7 points behind Real Madrid, of course we never know what the future will bring. Meanwhile, Sevilla are experiencing terrible conditions who have to fight to avoid the degradation zone, but I hope Sevilla can stay in La Liga next season and not drop down to the Segunda Division.

I think the same as you to be honest, Girona are good indeed but I don't think it is enough to put them ahead till the end of the season. Girona have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so they definitely have good skills but these are not. They have the combination of young and good players in the team which is working very well for them. But I think the match that will decide the fate of La Liga is the match between them in February. Whoever wins this match will get the hold of the League. If this ends in a draw then I think Real Madrid will still win the league, to be honest.

Yeah almost all of us agree that Real Madrid has a greater chance of winning the title this season than Girona there are many reasons why Real Madrid is more favored but after all we cannot underestimate Girona they still have a chance even if only a few percent. I agree with you that the match in February can determine who is the most worthy to win the title and the match will be played at  Real Madrid home of course it is an advantage for Real Madrid, previously the two teams had played last September and Real Madrid won it. By the way, Real Madrid is playing the Copa Del Rey match today against the lower division team but until the 25th minute there were no goals, unfortunately I bet Real Madrid scored 4 goals in this match lol but Real Madrid seems to play a young squad including Arda Guler players who have just joined this season. This should be the right moment to prove their abilities as young players

[ShowOff]

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.

Barcelona is behind Real by as much as 7 points and for the race for the title this is a whole abyss, so yes, no matter how we look at the names, Girona is definitely more dangerous than Barcelona now. I have a hard time believing that Girona will go on par with Real until the very end, but I believe that now Girona is the favorite in the fight for second place.
By the way, I got the impression that everyone forgot about Lewandowski - they used to criticize him, now they simply ignore him. He only has 8 goals scored, which is terrible for a striker of his caliber. I don’t even know whether Barcelona will have time to sell him to Saudi Arabia in the summer, whether the sheikhs will be interested in him.

I don't ignore Lewandowski and always respect him as the best center forward. Of course I am worried about his decline in form this season with Barcelona, ​​but it may soon change and improve in the second half of the season. After all Lewandowski could easily surpass anyone's goal tally this season when he finds himself back in the game, so there's no point in ignoring him now.

So far Lewandowski has made 17 appearances with 8 goals. He is the only oldest center forward to have scored 8 goals so far this season in La Liga, the rest are players younger than him such as Morata, Borja Mayoral, Antoine Griezmann, Ante Budimir, Artem Dovbyk and Gerard Moreno. I'm sure Lewandowski can still score at least 20 goals this season and compete to be La Liga's top scorer in two consecutive seasons. He could be sold next season as Barcelona have already acquired a new centre-forward, but that is a possibility that is nothing more than a rumour.

[redsun114]

The fact that Barcelona recovered and has been winning for some time is good, they won two in a row, and that is a good thing for them. However, there are 7 points between Barcelona and the top two, which means that it would be quite near impossible for them to end up getting a win. I am not saying that it is not going to be possible, all I am saying is that it is going to have some trouble for the season in the end.

I think finishing the season third is the only thing they should focus on right now, I do not think that they would do any better, unless Girona or Real suddenly starts losing a lot of games, which I do not see happening. So Barcelona could finish third, not great, but they could also focus on next season that way.

[Raflesia]

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.

I agree with the opinion that Girona are still playing very well to this day but saying they can win the trophy this season I think it's still quite far away because after all, apart from them having to prove themselves to be consistent until the end, they also still have to pass Madrid who currently have the same points and are above them.

With the current situation indirectly indicating that the competition is still there and still very tight so it's a little difficult for me to accept that Girona can win the league this season with the situation still speculative.
Now they still have to prove themselves that they can be consistent and challengers for the title this season and that's commendable but to say they'll be champions when the season is only half over is a long way off and there's still a lot to come in the remaining games.

So Barcelona could finish third, not great, but they could also focus on next season that way.

In terms of the result it is ok for now for Barcelona, but did you see how the game against Las Palmas went? When we are talking about Barcelona and how they played in the last few games, it also has to be said that their performance sucks, it just sucks and there is nothing more to say about it. Keep in mind that I am a big Barcelona fan, but leaving aside the results anything else is bad at the moment. It is not great soccer, it is a lack of creativity and no straight and high speed attacks. This looks so mediocre most of the time that I doubt we can expect a lot from them in the next few months.

You have had good observation by the teams you selected. Nobody can deny that these teams you mentioned are not playing well, and they are not the favorites to go for the next season champions league currently based on their performances, but I am observing one team that may be interrupted by one of the teams you have mentioned, which is Athletic Bilbao. Athletic Bilbao are currently in good shape too, and they are playing well. If they can continue with their current form, they may drop Atletico Madrid from their favorite team to go to the next season champions league.
 
With the situation that Girona can win La Liga, I will not underestimate the fact that they can't win the league because they have shown concrete proof that they can win the league in their current form. Girona is doing better than our expectations with their consistency in winning games. I believe nobody expected them to reach time with their great performances, so with what they have proven this time, I still believe they can do it to the end.

[Furious 7]

He only has 8 goals scored, which is terrible for a striker of his caliber. I don’t even know whether Barcelona will have time to sell him to Saudi Arabia in the summer, whether the sheikhs will be interested in him.

Currently, Lewandowski's performance is at a slightly worrying point because of the decline in performance that occurred.
The comparison is very pronounced when talking about this season and the previous season because of several factors such as when last season he was always spoiled because of several players who opened up space and in very good situations but this season he didn't really get that. In addition, injury problems seem to haunt Lewa in this case because after the injury suffered at the beginning of the season indirectly made his performance decline and without the good space-opening control that Pedri or Gavi always do, the situation is even worse for Lewandowski now.

Xavi should provide other options at this point because forcing Lewandowski now with these conditions will make it even more difficult for Barcelona actually and the scheme that is carried out even if the possession is good but when there are no opportunities that can be converted into goals then this is still very difficult for Barcelona to get out of the zone at this time.

[Docnaster]

Girona is still the best in the LA Liga thus far with their level of control, confidence and coordination. At this point, I must give all hails to their ever-present and forward manager Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz. And all the players who have remained very active and steadfast to the effort of taking Girona to the top of the LA Liga titles. The commitment have been a vehemently interesting one.

They are a combination of experienced young and old players. Many old players from big clubs are thrown away. Munoz made a great combination and succeeded in generating fighting spirit. Girona players don't have many star players, but the mentality of fighting, fighting, coordination between players is really good. I don't believe they are champions yet, but right now they have a big chance.

But unfortunately, because Girona is currently part of the City Football Group and based on the rules and rumors circulating, if Girona manages to finish in the top four then it is possible that Manchester City and Girona will not be allowed to play in the Champions League next season . But ya, I also don't know for sure how this problem will proceed, but if it is true, then it will certainly be a very unfortunate result for Girona, who have succeeded in being in the top four and are strong contenders in the race for the La Liga title this season with Real Madrid.

Because after all, I will remain confident that Girona will remain strong in the top four until the end of this season. Because ya, considering that at least Barcelona and Atletico are also experiencing trends that are not entirely good this season. Therefore, Girona will be able to maintain its position in the top four, of course it will also be a threat to Real Madrid this season in the race for the title.

To clearly explain your point, Girona are owned by the same sports company that owns Manchester City and they're called the City Football Group and going by the laid down rules of the UEFA champions league competition, there's no possibility of two teams of the same ownership play in the same edition of the UEFA champions league season and that's why Girona will either not play in the competitive next season should they finish this season the top four of the league or play but that'll only happen if Manchester City doesn't finish in the top four of the English Premier League table at the end of the season.

Manchester City as we all know is one club that's always gonna finish in the top four of the English Premier League table and that makes it almost impossible to see Girona play in the UCL next season

When Girona faced Atletico Madrid, everyone believed that Girona would lose that day, but the reality was different. Girona performed brilliantly and managed to win 4-3, it was really dramatic.

The match between Girona vs Madrid will still take place much later, around February 11, so there is still a big opportunity for Girona to develop a good strategy because even a draw will be very profitable for Girona. I'm sure Girona management is currently in a tense phase, everyone doesn't think they will be able to compete closely with Madrid to be at the top of the LaLiga standings.

Meanwhile, Barcelona, it seems, will have difficulty chasing Girona and Madrid, Barcelona has been wrong from the start, they have lost twice.

@iBaba I would argue about this because Real Madrid still are the best in every aspect of the game because of their experienced players and the youngsters. But I must give it to Girona because of the fight that they are giving and keeping up with Real Madrid. Girona indeed got the fighting mentality but I don't think it will be enough for them to get the title putting Real Madrid behind. Sure they got the skills as well, but those won’t be enough.

No disrespect for the big teams like Real Madrid because they have got the better players, they have more number of young stars, they have a more experienced coach and players infact they have a better team and can't be compared to the Girona team regardless of the good performance of Girona this season butci think the entire team of Girona including them coach deserves to be respected because they havecreally done well for themselves so far this season even as they key fighting to get better because anything can happen and you never can tell if they will end up winning the La Liga this season because they have got what it takes .

Yes I think the performance of Girona so far this season can get them a trophy because from all indication Real Madrid is the only team thdt is ahead of them in the league with goal difference who knows if Madrid will focus more on winning the UCL while Girona will take the advantage to top the league in LaLiga I believe they may end up getting a trophy this season.

Not everybody saw the game ending that way, I'm a strong supporter of Girona this session but no against Real Madrid. Against Barcelona they showed class and made sure that they took three points back home. Judging from how they have played the last two clubs above ten position, I was suspecting a point to be shared between them.

That game still far, let's see them face these clubs in January before we start shifting focus on the games to be played February. If it's February, them the Champions League would come into mindset and consideration before using a full squad against Girona.

But Girona gave an important chance away to build a gap between them and Real Madrid and I think the loss against Real Madrid would have been key to that. But now they have to deal with the situation that Real Madrid wins the games even with low margins, but they win the games and collect the three points all the time. All that Girona can do is win their games and wait for mistakes. But too bad they lost their first game against Real Madrid at home because I am not very optimistic about the game in Santiago Bernabeu.

What happens if Girona widens the gap? Even their own managers don't believe that they will become champions. He made a statement just today: we cannot compete with Real Madrid, our goal is to participate in European cups. With such a vision, don't expect them to become champions.

For now, Real Madrid is the strongest candidate, but Barcelona will recover, and Atletico Madrid will be in the race again if they catch up a winning streak. If Real Madrid stumbles in a few matches, it will whet the appetite of other teams.

It's evident that Robert Lewandowski's current performance is a cause for concern. The absence of players, one after another like Pedri and Gavi after De Jong and Gundogan, who opened up space for him have played a role in his declining form. Considering these circumstances, it makes sense to explore alternative options and strategies. Relying heavily on Lewandowski, especially when he's not at his peak due to injury and other factors, might not be the most effective approach for Barcelona.

Xavi should assess the team dynamics and consider adjustments to maximize goal-scoring opportunities. Xavi could tweak the team's tactical approach to create more goal-scoring opportunities. This might involve changes in formations, positioning of players, or even introducing new patterns of play to unlock defenses. Giving opportunities to other forwards or attacking midfielders might provide fresh impetus and creativity in the final third. Focusing on enhancing the skills and performances of other key players can alleviate the pressure on Lewandowski.

In my opinion, Girona really maintains their hopes of winning the title this season because in the last 4 matches they had strong opponents where Girona faced Barcelona, ​​Betis and Atletico madrid, but in all these matches Girona was able to come out as winners. And of course they succeeded passed a quite crucial stage for them.
Well, it is true that Girona suffered one defeat, of course from Real madrid and these two teams will meet again in February and if Girona fails again then Real madrid will be able to widen the gap in points with Girona.

Girona is the surprise team this season where they were able to maintain their best form until the 19th Laliga match this season. Thus, Michel performance was quite successful in building a squad from ordinary players by competing with big teams such as Real madrid, Barcelona and also Atletico madrid. Even though they failed to become champions this season, everyone will praise their performance this season.
