La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Roseline492]

Girona squad composition is not perfect like Madrid, so currently Girona is better off letting the Copa Del Rey go rather than losing the opportunity to get the La Liga Trophy, if Girona forces to target all competitions then I'm sure their squad will fail to win the trophy Considering the composition of the players they have,

Of course you are right Girona players are not on the equal performance with real Madrid because irrespective of the fact that Girona is on the first position on the league table doesn't mean that they are stronger than real Madrid because I'm confident that if real meet Girona there is every possibility that they will likely win Girona because even on there last meeting real Madrid won them so perhaps just like you said the best thing Girona should do is to focus all there energy on this Spanish La Liga instead of dividing there attention because if they are not consistent enough this time and real Madrid manages to take over the first position Girona will mostly find it very difficult entering the first position again.

Atlético were able to win and thus move ahead of Barcelona with a better goal difference. Barcelona's defeats have not passed without a trace, and if they continue to be as bad as they are, then Athletic Bilbao will also have a chance to claim a place in the top 4.

Now it is not clear how the news about Xavi’s departure from the team will affect the results. It came as a shock to many players when Xavi announced his retirement after the defeat to Villarreal. Xavi met with the players to explain his decision, and the players asked him not to leave the team, and Sergi Roberto took the blame for the defeat.

I don’t know if this can somehow influence Xavi’s decision, and whether he can change his mind, probably for this to happen, Barcelona needs to start winning, there is still a lot of time until the end of the season.

Of course Xavi came and brought significant changes. It wasn't at a cheap cost. So Barcelona are backing Xavi to make the best of an unclear financial situation. But this final bad result makes Barceloan start to get impatient. Perhaps the reason for the dressing room is a crucial problem. When I become a coach and am not trusted then I will not continue to be there either. I will leave as soon as possible. I'll be in a team that can accept me under any circumstances. So I think Xavi's decision is very good.

If he thinks it's time to leave Barcelona, ​​I think his decision is right. Because Xavi was a player who made important contributions to Barcelona. Apart from this, Xavi is also a person who helped Barça win the championship as a coach. Even though he is a name associated with Barça, if he decided to leave, I am sure that he thought about the team even in this decision.

What a bad end for a mighty player of BArcelona like Xavi, but well this is football and not only football the most high level football, so its not easy to become a great player and a great coach, Barcelona seems to be in the same pace as Manchester United, huge teams who lose the path and cant come back to the good one, no matter what they do.

Xavi has already done a lot for Barcelona this season, and last season Xavi was able to restore Barcelona and even take a trophy, if I’m not mistaken, so therefore, all indications and what we have seen indicate that the manager has done a lot for the team and the management. If you look at Barcelona since Messi left the squad, nobody has heard from them again, but even with that, Xavi managed to lift the club with the available players that are there.

However, Barcelona is not financially stable like other teams; they don’t buy new players because they don’t have enough money to do that, and still, Xavi is using the available players to do his best and deliver to the team, so even if Xavi leaves the team now, he has done his best, and I’m sure he won’t be blamed. Other coaches came and went; they didn’t do anything; at the end of the day, some were even sacked, so if you just look at the situation with Xavi, you will see that maybe the management is the one pressuring her to get the trophy.

[Cookdata]

I see that Barcelona is not as bad as Manchester United, they only lost badly in the last 2 matches (losing 4-2 to Bilbao and losing 5-3 to Villareal), I am sure of Xavi even though he is currently confused about what other strategy he should use to boost the squad's performance.
still remember a few seasons ago when Barcelona was in a crisis, Xavi came as a savior, well, of course xavi will be able to return barcelona's performance to its original place, however barcelona has good players, it would be a shame if barcelona followed in the footsteps of manchester united.

Xavi isn't confused. He knows exactly what he said and he is going to regret it. Didn't you see many times he said Barcelona is only happy when you win, they don't entertain losses. He must have face a lot of critiques and query got not doing better right now in the club, don't you think it's saner to have a peace of mind than work where they give you high blood pressure just because they want you to make them happy, these men are human beings and has feelings too even if they asked for this job.

Barcelona is now a complicated club that struggle financial and yet they want a first class treatment, not a bad idea but you can't push Xavi to the wall and you don't expect him not to react. I'm sure that if he finished the season among top club, they will get another caoch that will lead this time to the Champions League. That's how Chelsea lost Tuchel and till today, the club has been useless with noting to show for two years now.

Getafe win finally. They had a bad 3-game streak. They came to a conclusion with Mason Greenwood and Borja Mayoral. Granada won a penalty, but they couldn't convert it into a goal. It's impossible for them to turn the match around now. Fortunately, the fixtures came to the aid of Getafe and they faced Granada. Granada is one of the teams that I see guaranteed to be relegated this season. They don't have a squad of La Liga quality. In fact, if you exclude Uzuni, they had no chance in the league. Even though he missed a penalty today, he is the most important player of the team.

[Rengga Jati]

This is a very painful blow for Barcelona, being beaten so badly at home. What's more, it is Villareal, who incidentally is not a very strong team this season. Even when we look at the statistical data and track record this season, Villarreal really has a declining performance. However, they actually beat Barcelona at Camp Nou. This certainly makes Xavi even more stressed with this very unexpected result.

The result of the clash between Barcelona and Villarreal was really one evident display to buttress my point, which is,  Barcelona needs a better striker and a key influence in the midfield like Messi. Even though they tried using another player to fill the spot, it would take more seasons before they return to what they were before.

Barcelona has indeed experienced quite an extraordinary setback since the era when Iniesta, Xavi and Messi left there. Coupled with very bad financial problems at that time, Barcelona has to experience various difficulties even now. In fact, Xavi, who is currently Barcelona coach, will leave Barcelona at the end of this season. because the demands at Barcelona are very high, especially from the fans. Meanwhile, Barcelona's current condition is not as good as before, especially on the financial side. So, no matter what, it's quite complicated to get Barcelona back to its former glory.

Getafe win finally. They had a bad 3-game streak. They came to a conclusion with Mason Greenwood and Borja Mayoral. Granada won a penalty, but they couldn't convert it into a goal.

Even though he missed a penalty today, he is the most important player of the team.

Yeah, now the match has entered the 90+ minute mark. And the position is still 2 - 0 in favor of Getafe. So it seems that it is certain that Getafe will win. Moreover, Granada's defense was not good enough, which opened up many gaps for Getafe to attack. But unfortunately, Getafe are also not that good at attacking, because even now they are also quite bothered by Granada who are controlling the ball position.

Greenwood is enjoying start to life again playing football onla Liga, and is also getting onto the scoresheet regularly as well; what do you think of his football career if his incredible form continues ?

Another good win for getafe who desires European football

Leaving Barcelona doesn't mean he's ending his managerial career? He will look forward to secure more promising positions in the future, perhaps he's very skillful and tactical when it comes to managing to clubs. Xavi Hernandez is consider a crucial player and a legend for Barcelona, his pattern of game was extraordinary compared to his teammates, he knows what he wants and make way to achieve this crucial target every season he play for his dream club, Barcelona. Since taking the position of becoming a manager, he has come in contact with brilliant

Xavi has his best moments with Barcelona in the past and during this season the results aren't that satisfying for him nor for the club and the fans. It was supposed for him to leave after the defeat against Real Madrid but he delayed it until the heavy defeat against Villarreal by 5 goals. Obviously, we cannot blame this defeat on him only but also players like Lewandowski whose performance dropped considerably, but also the fight with the stuff, including Deco, who refuse to bring good players due to their financial problems..
Xavi will find another good club by the end in Europe or even in Saudi Pro League if he wants, otherwise there is many names that are planned to replace him, namely Hansi Flick, Jürgen Klopp but he is still with Liverpool until the end of the season, De Zerbi or even Thomas Tuchel and we can imagine the rage of Bayern Munich if this rumour gets confirmed

Xavi will leave Barcelona at the end of this season and I'm not sure he will stay with Barcelona next season which is probably very unlikely to be on the board at Barcelona. Xavi will continue to coach other teams in his next career and maybe he will look for new challenges in Serie A and also Ligue 1.
We know that Xavi has the quality to build a squad and of course there will be many offers coming to him when he officially leaves Barcelona at the end of this season.

I hope that Xavi can coach a team from the Premier League because it would be quite interesting to see Pep Guardiola against Xavi in ​​the position of coach. But for that, we'll just have to wait and see how Xavi continues, whether he will also choose to take a break like Kloop did.

The risk of playing with an attacking scheme is conceding a lot of goals, however Girona can balance this with the productivity of the goals scored, and that has succeeded in placing them at the top of the La Liga standings at the moment. Matches that feature open play are of course more interesting, because they make the audience adrenaline even encouraged, I think everyone will agree with that. Previously we only thought of Girona as a team that was consistent for a moment, but now they have become a team that deserves respect from everyone, they only lost to Madrid.

Regarding the rivalry in the hunt for trophies this season, Madird and Girona will continue to compete fiercely, and I feel that only these two teams have a better chance of winning the trophy at the end of the season. Barcelona and Atletico, as we can see now, are both 10 points behind Girona, and it is difficult to get back into the hunt for trophies while leading the standings in the future. Barcelona and Atletico are only trying to stay in the top four of the La Liga standings, and secure a slot to appear in the Champions League next season.

I fully agree here and as for the first point you brought up, yes exactly, Girona is playing their open style with high pace and a lot of offensive pressure and it comes at a cost. But if they were bad in their offensive game, it wouldn't pay off and they were probably to be found somewhere in the middle of the table. But they understand very well what their strength is and they exploit their potential to its fullest. Now imagine they finish the season as the title winner and then know that they have to improve their defense next season. They are in a great position to sign new players for their defense. They have the money as their is a huge investment fund behind the club. This could become a success story in the next few years that nobody really anticipated.

I again agree as the trend is the same. Both teams only lost one game and they tie a game every now and then, but I don't see how any of these two teams would have a losing streak anytime soon.

Barcelona will host Osasuna at home in the new week.We can call it a recovery match for Barcelona, who were eliminated from the Spanish Cup and lost 5-3 to Villareal in their last match in the league.Although they played well against Villarreal, they could not win. Barcelona, who managed to lead 3-2 in the 71st minute, was defeated 5-3 with 3 goals in the last 10 minutes, and now it is time to make up for it with Osasuna.
Atletico Madrid will face Rayo Vallecano at home.It looks like an easy game for Atletico, but I think they will struggle.Rayo Vallecano is not in the relegation zone at the moment, but if they lose points in a few more games, they too could be on a downward trend towards the risk zone.

But if they were bad in their offensive game, it wouldn't pay off and they were probably to be found somewhere in the middle of the table. But they understand very well what their strength is and they exploit their potential to its fullest.

They have young players and many players who have never experienced any chance to find for La Liga title. It is a magic season for Girona and their players are actually enjoying every match in this season. Together, they are making this magic season for their club and it can be recorded as a best season ever in Girona history even they won't be the league champion.

In their club history, they have had only 4 seasons in La Liga with a highest position is 10th. So I believe they will not fall to deeper than 9th position when this season ends, and it means they will make a new milestone in La Liga for their history.

Now imagine they finish the season as the title winner and then know that they have to improve their defense next season.

Win La Liga or don't win it, Girona will have to face with a very tough summer transfer season because many bigger clubs are sending their scouts to watch Girona players and are thinking of transfer offers to Girona in order to buy players from this small club.

Although they played well against Villarreal, they could not win. Barcelona, who managed to lead 3-2 in the 71st minute, was defeated 5-3 with 3 goals in the last 10 minutes, and now it is time to make up for it with Osasuna.

It doesn't really help when your players make two errors that lead to goals[1]. Not to mention your keeper failed to catch or stop any shot aimed at him. Feels bad for the man but I'm sure he lacks confidence, and maybe the whole squad too. Not to mention Xavi's announcement will probably affect their future matches too. Finishing the top 4 should be a realistic target and should be their target though. It would be disastrous if they lose another Champions League money, which will affect their financial situation even further. CMIIW.

Historically, they have a better lead against Osasuna, scoring more than 1 goal on average across multiple seasons[2]. If they fail to win against a team that sits on the 12th of the table with that kind of record, the atmosphere will be really bad IMO. They need to win that game.

If klop should consider going to Spain then his most probable destination will be Real Madrid which happens to be one of the richest across Europe and they are one of the libra in the sense that they are very good with how well they pay their Coach's and players they will do much better than Barcelona would have done so it's much more better with Madrid than with Barcelona.

It is much more possible, even though there are no rumors that he will go to Real Madrid, but if you look at the condition of Barcelona which is currently experiencing financial problems, recruiting Jurgen Klopp is something that is quite impossible to happen. Real Madrid has standards when it comes to bringing in a coach and from what we can see, Jurgen Klopp is a figure who fits these criteria. Because he has succeeded in bringing Liverpool to become a club that is quite taken into account since he has been a coach in the previous few seasons until now.

I know going by needs Barcelona seem to need the intervention of a good coach such as klop but then they seem to lack the liberality to take care of this caliber of coach and still maintain a healthy pay with the players, I'm saying this because Barcelona isn't poor even with all the stories of the financial crises around the team, they are still ranked around top four richest team in Europe so it only means that there's a restriction to how funds are been spent from the top management of the team and that's why it's looking like there's a financial Crisis in Barcelona.

This club is currently experiencing a financial crisis and agree or not their condition is quite dangerous now. Of course they are not poor, but in recent seasons financial problems have been very difficult to resolve, so their superstars had to be released to PSG and there was a reduction in salaries for several players. If Barcelona is unable to win the title, it will be difficult for sponsors to come in and this condition will make things even worse for them.

maybe this season's competition is over for Barcelona. it will be very difficult to get even 1 title. just the champion league is very heavy. in the champion league there are Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Real Madrid, yet there is still PSG who can be said to be the strongest candidates in the champion league this season, maybe in the eighth final Barcelona can be eliminated. his opponent Napoli is quite strong and has the potential to get rid of Barcelona.

Winning the title is almost impossible for Barcelona with the current condition and performance of the team, but they will continue to chase points in order to finish in the top 4, I think that is the most realistic target for the Barcelona team this season.
Against Osasuna will certainly not be easy for the Barcelona team because the Barcelona team is currently in poor self-confidence after the series of defeats they have experienced.
Even though I will be playing at Barcelona's home ground, I am reluctant to bet on Barcelona winning, maybe I will think about other betting options over goals or under because in my opinion Barcelona's percentage of winning the match is very small.

It is true that in terms of strength and history, Real Madrid is very different from Girona, because Real Madrid won the La Liga title several seasons ago. However, in my opinion, this season is very different from previous seasons, Girona is definitely very ready to face Real Madrid because I am sure Girona will work hard in this match and don't want to waste this opportunity to beat Real Madrid or draw. In my opinion, the one who has to be careful is Real Madrid because many people think that Girona is not much better than Real Madrid, maybe if Real Madrid loses to Girona it will definitely be very difficult to catch up on the points that Girona has.

[Hirose UK]

In the two upcoming matches we can witness really interesting matches and could be matches full of hot play.
This is difficult match for Girona and of course these two matches will be quite dangerous if Girona makes mistake because their position as top of the standings will really be at stake.

In the first match, Girona had to face Real Sociedad, which is one of the strongest teams this season, Real Sociedad is in 6th position and so far has only had 4 defeats.
In match like this, Girona must be more careful so that they don't make mistakes that open up gaps for Real Sociedad to have a chance to win the match.

And the toughest and most difficult match is against Real Madrid, we know that Real Madrid is in second place and only has very narrow point difference with Girona.
Moreover, this is home match for Real Madrid so it is certain that there will be quite significant pressure on Girona in their efforts to win.
Honestly, this is difficult match for Girona to win.
