La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tusandii]

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.

I think the intentions are clear. Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz wants the La Liga trophy.

This year for Girona has been crazy and spectacular.
In La Liga and the Copa Del Rey, Girona also appeared consistent by continuing to win.
Solid results, but it is unfortunate about the injury suffered by Eric Garcia.
Currently, Real Madrid is at the top of the standings due to a superior goal difference.
However, Girona has become a more productive team.
Girona has scored 46 goals, while Real Madrid has scored 40 goals.
I can't wait for the season to end to see whether Man City's cousin can make history by winning the La Liga trophy.

Whatever the conditions and no matter how difficult the obstacles, I really believe that Girona will never be able to win the LaLiga title, shifting Real Madrid's position and if that could happen I would say this LaLiga season is very crazy.
In terms of depth of performance, the players and coaches are very different and far superior to Real Madrid and if that could happen it would really be a very crazy history for all fans even though the number of scorers for these two clubs is different and superior to Girona. I think it's all because of Real Madrid. does not have a striker player while Girona has a striker player.
We'll see after this whether Real Madrid is able to get a striker player and if they succeed in bringing in a reliable striker player, everything will change and there will be no more opportunities for Girona.

Barcelona finally is making a final decision about their player, João Félix.
João Félix joined Barcelona during the summer but he is playing there on loan and he should leave the team when the loan is over, But it seems Barcelona is now interested it having this player permanently, they asked to have a negotiation with Atletico Madrid about this palyer.

In my opinion, Felix deserves to be made permanent by Barcelona. 6 goals and 3 assists in 21 matches in all competitions, is a consideration for Barcelona management to make his status permanent from Atletico Madrid. However, the problem may only be the salary level. Felix was previously willing to cut his salary so he could move to Barcelona. I think the financial crisis that occurred will not cancel Felix move.

I think Felix himself no longer wants to return to Atletico, we still remember his celebration some time ago during the Barcelona versus Atletico meeting, a signal that could be interpreted as that he really doesn't want to return to his parent club. Another loan player who I think should be made permanent is Cancelo, Xavi needs to keep him too, and paid a certain amount of money to Manchester City to make him permanent.

The problem is Barcelona ready and able to pour funds of 40 million to bring a Felix with current financial conditions?
Currently, the value of Felix has actually decreased quite a bit when compared to the previous few seasons, especially by looking at the relationship between Simeone and Felix who still do not really get along, so actually if Barcelona really wants Felix to be at Camp Nou, Atletico will be happy to facilitate negotiations if the price offered is right for them.



Currently the value is only around 40 million for this player and it has greatly decreased compared to the previous 2 seasons so if Barcelona can fulfill the clause then Felix could be in Barcelona uniform and made permanent but with the current situation and with the previous statement then indeed this is still something that is very difficult for Barcelona to do.

Although Celta Vigo closed the first half down, they managed to win the match 4-2 with the goals they found in the second half.Celta Vigo had a little bit of difficulty in this match.Celta Vigo may have won the match 4-2, but they didn't have many positions during the match except for the goals.
Sevilla also managed to defeat Racing Ferrol away from home.The opponent was not an easy opponent because we are talking about a team that is currently in 2nd place in the 2nd league.Despite this, he played better than his opponent and won the match with Juanlu Sanchez's goal in the 87th minute.
Villarreal, on the other hand, drew 1-1 away to Salamanca. It is a comedy for me that Villarreal, which has a better squad than its opponent and plays a bit better than its opponent, cannot beat its opponent.

Even though he was not scoring but his performance was so excellent and it feels like that arda has been playing for long time with real madrid. Im aware that how arda can become a superstar in the future. In fact, he has been helping the club to create some chances.
Glad to see that if arda potentially become the next superstar. Ancellotti could always take the right player to be developed. Even though this is his debut to play in real madrid but he was showing amazing performance.

He was not being so selfish and he tries so hard to create a good chance for his teammates. Im really happy to see that his performance is just getting better. Arda can still develop his performance even better than before.
Arda is still young and there will be a lot of time for him to increase his skill by trying to learn from his senior. There will be so many great players will able to told him about how to play better.

Guler was a good during his debut game for the Madrid even though more than much was expected from him but for a first game in a team, he did really good. This only resonates the sermons of how well built up Real Madrid squad is. The young players are definitely an extra advantage to the team's strength. Ancelloti has been able to bring up his boys into more fury and it's exactly what they need to stay strong.

 There's good coordination and the zeal is always up for them. It's very much good that the team has been able to stay strong up until now and they seem undaunted too. It'll be more beautiful to watch these present Madrid perform at their peak even up till next season, the players are gaining good level of experience and it's working out good on them. I think they stand a better chance of winning the Liga this season, their gameplay have really changed beyond how they performed last season.

I think the recent bad performance of Barcelona is due to the injury of some of the key players. You said they lack creativity, But look, they lost Gavi to injury. Pedri is also injured. They are the creative midfielders right now and the most key players of the Barcelona squad. I think the forwards are struggling also due to that. But I do believe that Lewandonski is not performing as well as he is to do in Bayern Munich. But I think Barcelona needs him. He can use his experience to win some games for them. A team full of young players can be chaotic sometimes. The new striker who joined is very young so he will be needing guidelines from the senior players as well.

Overall I agree with what you said, one of the reasons why Barcelona's performance has declined is because several of their key players have suffered injuries. even before that, Pedri, De Jong, Ter Steger, Lewandowski and several other players were injured. in the end, Xavi had to use another strategy to overcome the problems that occurred within his camp. unfortunately, the results did not satisfy Xavi as a coach and us as supporters. but at least, currently several key players have returned to the core squad, namely Do Jong and Lewandowski.

IMO, Barcelona actually has quite competitive player depth. even though Gavi has been injured for a long time and Pedri is currently prone to injury, there are other players who can play multi-functionally. De Jong, previously an attacking midfielder. Gundohan, he can play according to the team's needs. Xabi can rely on these two players in the midfield. the rest Xavi can play Sergio Roberto, Fermin Lopez, Oriol Romeu, according to the needs of the team and the system he applies. what Xavi needs to do is make these players play in rhythm according to the system he applies. in particular, Gundohan, De Jong and Romeu. if these three players have a strong bond, then they will play a solid game. on the front lines there are several options, depending on what Xavi wants to play with the sticker he chooses. but ideally, players whose performance is declining must be rotated and given opportunities to other players.

Now, Barcelona has Vitor Roque. even though his debut was unsatisfactory, it's only natural that he only played 12 minutes against Las Palmas. as for Lewandowski, I won't compare him to his time with Bayern Munich. or, now playing at Barcelona. the reason is, Lewan is currently 35. This means that a decline in performance inevitably occurs with age. however, in fact it is still very reliable. well, the point I want to say is, it's all in Xabi as the Architect of Barcelona and how he implements his system and his squad. if Xavi had an ideal strategy and system, Barcelona should not experience the decline it is currently experiencing. therefore, this is homework and also a challenge for Xavi on how to get around it.

I think by now Girona knows that they do have some stakes in the title race. They are not disregarded as a small underdog anymore. What was remarkable about the game against Atletico Madrid was their comeback when Atletico was pressuring and scored the equalizer. I expected Girona to lose steam at that point, but no, they found another solution to score once more and I think that is world class and a positive sign for the rest of their season.

Girona is really getting much more better than anybody had expected of them this season, it's even an outstanding performance as compared to that which they have performed in a very long time, they have so far really done so well this season and that have earned them a really good position on the league table this season.

Indeed gironas performance in the game against atletico was really an exceptional and brilliant one which was very deserving of the winning, they were able to get three points by the end of the game, I was thinking atletico would have won especially with the fact they they actually led in the game earlier and they have been considered as one of the elite teams in the la Liga even before now and they ha e not had a bad performance either this season but then Giron in their new form sent a message across through atletico to other elite teams in the la Liga.

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.

I heard about this problem at the start of the season, but now it has become more obvious since it is obvious that Girona will be in the top 4 and will get a ticket to the Champions League. But in fact, both clubs will take part in the Champions League, as the owners will pull the same trick that Red Bull did, for example, when Leipzig and Salzburg played in the Champions League at the same time - they simply changed the formal ownership structure and UEFA's claims were settled.
And in general, did you really doubt that such an untouchable club as City would have any problems with such a corrupt organization as UEFA? 

[Oluwa-btc]

Robert Lewandowski has not made a major positive impact on Barcelona since he came in, although he came to meet a well washed up Barcelona team. I think if Lewandowski was to leave Barcelona now he won't be heavily missed, they need more players in the middle field now that can help control and swing the game in their favour.
Barcelona has enough strikers that a decent enough to replace Robert Lewandowski if he was to leave.

They already brought in a young player form Brazil league already and he had a chance to play the last few minutes of the game. That Barcelona side though lacks what we call creativity.
No body talking about the polish captain leaving already, he's a higher level and quality player but have seen Injury disturb his form from the start of the new season last year.

Atletico Madrid won yesterday but they struggled in the first half of the game. Soyunku was poor in that defending that lead to the lone goal scored by the player.
Memphis Depay was able to score two Important goals but he still wasn't happy form his looks and body language. There's no way Girona wouldn't have won that game, they played well.

I think the recent bad performance of Barcelona is due to the injury of some of the key players. You said they lack creativity, But look, they lost Gavi to injury. Pedri is also injured. They are the creative midfielders right now and the most key players of the Barcelona squad. I think the forwards are struggling also due to that. But I do believe that Lewandonski is not performing as well as he is to do in Bayern Munich. But I think Barcelona needs him. He can use his experience to win some games for them. A team full of young players can be chaotic sometimes. The new striker who joined is very young so he will be needing guidelines from the senior players as well.

Beautiful and well said. I almost forgot about the name Pablo Gavi already. I forget he was a key player to the La Liga tittle win they had last season. Injury has cost them alot and before he got Injured, they also faced the same issues but they weren't exactly the way it was.
Pedri also returned and was played off his position. It affected them during some certain games.

For Robert Lewandoski, I won't bash him or say ill about him, he can pick up the best form at any given time. And in between, you need experience around younger players to pass whatever they know across. Barcelona was my favorite to win the league bit right now, I feel like it's been jinxed.

[SUPERSAIAN]

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

It was a good match for Real Madrid, where young players were tested. As a Turk, I was proud to see Arda Güler on the field in Real Madrid's starting lineup at the age of 18. It can be said that Arda made a good start. A free kick hit the post. He made good attempts with a through pass. Brahim's goal in the match was also very nice. From time to time, Arda can join the match as a substitute.

I proud to finally watch Arda Güler in the Real Madrid jersey. We have been waiting for this moment as a country for a long time and he really gave a performance that would satisfy everyone and he did his best.

If that freekick goal had been scored, it would have been an incredibly magical start. I expect a good goal from him as soon as possible. He is a master of the game, he is not afraid, he is willing, these are very important talents to stay in the squad.

[rendravolt]

I really enjoyed the Arandina vs Real Madrid match in the Copa Del Rey competition last night and seeing Arda Guler make his first debut as a Real Madrid player was definitely a very happy thing for him. Fans can't wait to see the performance of the Turkish wonderkid after suffering an injury since the start of this season. What Arda Guler does is very mature on the field and his vision in playing football really shows how good his qualities are. Arda Guler repeatedly created opportunities from kicks to assists, but none of them resulted in any goals. In the second half he was withdrawn and I think that was enough for him to prepare for tougher matches like La Liga or the Champions League.

What was no less exciting was seeing Brahim Diaz's performance in this match because thanks to him Real Madrid was able to score 3 goals. Brahim Diaz was key in the penalty kick scored by Joselu, after which he scored the second goal for Real Madrid, and in the third goal he provided the assist for the third goal scored by Rodrygo. Well, I think lending Brahim Diaz to Milan in the last two seasons is very meaningful if his performance is like this and will definitely be very helpful for Real Madrid in all existing competitions.

Arda Guller was into Real Madrid substitutions squad when they beat Mallorca last week and i thought Guller will make his debut on that match but unfortunately Ancelotti has decided not to played him and finally yesterday against Aradina at Copa Del Rey he can make his debut that Ancelotti was playing him at Bellingham position and i think his performance was quite impressive Guller even has made several shot attempts and he almost scored from free kick and after his debut some people has starting to considers Guller as the next Mesut Ozil because his game of style was similar to Ozil but as attacking midfielder Guller have to hard struggling to gets one place at Real Madrid starting lineup because this team has several attacking midfielder which more experience just like Brahim Diaz and their phenomenal player Bellingham

It was a very difficult decision for Ancelotti to include Arda Guler as a substitute because Real Madrid was still not safe because they had not scored a goal and they had to score if they wanted to win against Mallorca. Therefore, Ancelotti does not want to be rash in including him, on the other hand, the situation is also not right to give playing minutes to Arda Guler. Even though in the end Arda Guler made his debut in the Copa Del Rey, it was much better because he became a starter and could also get more good minutes.

His position is also safe as Bellingham's replacement because he is quite different, Arda Guler is more of a game creator while Jude Bellingham is a gap hunter but both of them carry out their duties very well. If Arda Guler's free kick yesterday had been a goal and not hit the goalpost, it would have been a beautiful and impressive debut goal. But unfortunately that didn't happen, but overall he made a very good debut.

[xzone]

Even though he was not scoring but his performance was so excellent and it feels like that arda has been playing for long time with real madrid. Im aware that how arda can become a superstar in the future. In fact, he has been helping the club to create some chances.

I think they stand a better chance of winning the Liga this season, their gameplay have really changed beyond how they performed last season.

Actually, we expected Arda Güler to play much earlier, but he had to constantly deal with health problems.
It's great to finally see him on the field. He is a very young and talented football player. If he can stay on the field long enough, it would be very good for him, he definitely needs to gain experience.
It is a great chance to have the chance to play in world giant clubs at such a young age. I hope he uses this chance well and becomes a legendary football player who will be talked about for years

Sometimes even I forget that Sevilla is having around 800 mil $ in debts and I tend to bet on them to score because I know they cannot win games with the current squad the have and maybe the best situation for the club would be to relegate and start a fresh project in LaLiga2. However , I'm curious to see if they will find a way at least to safe themselves from relegation.

However , I'm curious to see if they will find a way at least to safe themselves from relegation.

It is even difficult to trust them about their scoring a goal for me honestly. Because the number of goals they have scored so far doesn't impress me much. Besides they couldn't score in their last two league games as well therefore I wouldn't like to take any risk by betting on their game these days. 

Their next game is against Alaves home which aren't a much different team than Sevilla this season. But even against them I can't believe in Sevilla much. I'm just saying that they shouldn't have parted ways with the Europa League winner Mendilibar so early.

Talents are rare gems and we know the players that have symbolized to become great in football close to the nearest future. Talents are needed in football this current day, I've watch my team grown to become one of the elite club in the past years but currently struggling. Now is the time for these players to start settling for good scores in the system. Real Madrid have added another range of starlets to the club, this players are young and have the require qualities to push better. Arda Güler made his debuts for his new club and he's a promising young talented player, Carlo Ancelotti will see what he can do for him in the future.

Barcelona finally is making a final decision about their player, João Félix.
João Félix joined Barcelona during the summer but he is playing there on loan and he should leave the team when the loan is over, But it seems Barcelona is now interested it having this player permanently, they asked to have a negotiation with Atletico Madrid about this palyer.

Will be a smart move for Barcelona if the negotiation goes through smoothly but I doubt if it would be as easy as we thought. Barcelona is broke and Atletico Madrid wants to cash out big from the sale of Felix so I doubt if things will go easily, signing Felix permanently will be a good thing for Barcelona because he is a very talented player with lots of qualities aand he has the potential to grow into one of the best players in the team.

He showed his qualities at Chelsea too but Chelsea was not interested in keeping him permanently so they let him go despite being their best player last season. I just hope Barcelona succeeds in keeping him because he doesn’t enjoy the style of play at Atletico Madrid and it’s better to play where there is peace.

A lot of Real Madrid fans across the globe will be very happy with the fact that Arda Guler has finally played his first game for Real Madrid after months of signing for the Spanish giants. I watched highlights of the game and from the performance of the Turkey international I think he's gonna succeed at Real Madrid. He possess all the qualities that's needed to become a great player for the club in the future which I think he'll definitely want to be in future time.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is one man that knows how to rotate his squad and still make them to be effective and as an attacking midfielder, Guler I think will have playing times that'll help him improve significantly under Carlo Ancelotti

Atletico Madrid have a long contract with Joao Felix so their position in negotiations are superior than broke Barcelona which will ask for a low price for sure. I don't think Atletico Madrid would accept that unless they switch players between each others or something like that.
Joao Felix played today in the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro for 72 minutes before letting Lewandowski enter to score a penalty before the end of the game. If Barcelona insist, they could grab him but there will be a swap deal in my opinion in addition to cash.

In Copa del Rey matches, there wasn't big surprises apart from Real Betis defeat by one goal when they faced Alaves away, and Barbastro scoring 2 goals although losing by three goals against Barcelona..

Real Madrid is amongst the few big teams that builds young talents, when you look into Real Madrid squad from their youth players, you’ll see a lot of talents and foresee a good future there as a footballer. I am not a Real Madrid fan but I can assure you that Real Madrid is a team for the young and talented players you can think of. For the past decades, Real Madrid have dominated in building youngsters and they turn out to be world class players.Carlo Ancelotti in my opinion is a good coach that can build young talents for the team

Contracts indeed play a significant role in determining the bargaining power of a club, and in this case, Atletico Madrid's long-term commitment with Joao Felix indeed strengthens their position. Atletico Madrid, being in a stronger negotiating position, may not be inclined to accept a reduced price unless there are additional considerations such as a player swap. This aligns with common transfer market dynamics where clubs often explore creative solutions to meet each other's needs.

Joao Felix looks happy at Barca with much playing times so far. I think he would choose to play for Barca if the decision depends on him. But he is a valuable asset for Atletico who buy him with big money. A swap deal in addition to cash is the only way for Barca to get him. Swap deals are often utilized in football transfers to balance the financial aspects and address the needs of both clubs. This can ensures that both clubs benefit from the exchange of players in addition to any monetary considerations.

Speculation about Joao Felix future is still a big question mark because if Barcelona fails to make Joao Felix status permanent as a Barcelona player. Joao Felix will automatically return to Atletico Madrid at the end of this season and of course he is not comfortable being at Atletico Madrid. But with a fairly high release clause, of course Barcelona will find it difficult to make this happen because their financial situation has not improved enough. Let's see how Xavi will act in this situation, whether he will sell players to get money to make Joao Felix status as a Barcelona player permanent.

At the moment I haven't found any precise details that Xavi is really serious about making Felix status permanent.  Barcelona is also reported to be quite busy in the January transfer window because they are targeting several players to recruit in order to improve their strength in the second half of this season.
