La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[KTChampions]

Finally, the standings have returned to normal and all teams have the same number of games played. It's time to look at the odds of the contenders for the title:

Real Madrid 1.12

Girona 6.86

Barcelona Fc 16.66

Atlético Madrid 33.32

If we add a fifth team here - Athletic Bilbao 245.98, then it becomes obvious that there is already a very large gap between each position and everything looks so that we already know how the teams will be positioned in the top 4 or even top 5 at the end of the season. I can’t say that this is typical for La Liga or any other top league in general.
As a Real Madrid fan, I am glad that the title is already in their pocket and they can concentrate on the Champions League.

The market for winning the La Liga title is that Real Madrid is the favorite this season. But even so, Real Madrid cannot be safe in its current position even though it is now at the top of the standings, only two points behind Girona. This doesn't mean that we don't believe in Real Madrid's ability and consistency, but considering that Real Madrid is currently experiencing a crisis in defense, there are already three injured defenders and those three players are central defenders. Of course this is a serious problem for Real Madrid, if they play against a weak team, maybe Acelotti has several other player options to partner with Nacho, but if they face a strong team they are very vulnerable to conceding. Next week Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid, this is not an easy opponent, in fact Real Madrid has lost twice this season to Atletico Madrid. So, if Real Madrid wants to continue to be at the top, they must continue to concentrate on LaLiga, I mean not just focus on the Champions League.

In La Liga, Real Madrid already have a reserve of points and therefore there is an opportunity to make a mistake (I think they can easily lose 3 points twice and still end up being first and with a reserve) since their advantage over Barcelona and Atlético is 10 points . As for Girona, now the bookmakers rate it worse - I see that for away games the odds of winning are around 1.8, which means that Girona, according to the bookmakers, will lose points quite often.
Atlético is a difficult opponent and this season the overall score in games so far is in favor of Atlético 2-1, but I don’t think that Real will lose the third game.

[Rampagoe004]

Next, the two teams will face each other. I believe Real Madrid will continue to defeat Girona, disappointing Girona, Real Madrid can comfortably go straight to the throne. Nothing unexpected will happen this season.

I am also really looking forward to the Madrid vs Girona match because it will really determine the battle for the title. Currently Madrid is only 2 points ahead and of course that is an unsafe position because Girona has really performed well this season. As you said Real Madrid also plays in the Champions League and of course this will be one of the factors that can influence their performance in the League. I don't think it will be difficult for Madrid to rotate their players but against strong teams in La Liga I think it will still be a difficult game if they have exhausted themselves in the Champions League.

[Toro iskandar]

The only defeat Girona suffered was when they met Real Madrid, which made the confidence of some people even greater and said Real Madrid would beat Girona again. But on the other hand, Girona will also definitely try very hard to be able to win this match, because after all if they lose to Real Madrid it will make their chances of winning La Liga even smaller.
I am very sure Girona will appear all out in this match, even though they cannot win but at least they cannot lose. Real Madrid must also be careful, because it does not mean that when they won in the first meeting in this meeting they will be able to do the same.

It is true that currently Real Madrid is superior to Girona in terms of wins they have achieved in their last 5 matches, but I see that Girona is not a team that is easy to beat, their players work together and have good performance. Tomorrow they will definitely compete, they will look neater and more energetic. so as not to experience defeat again and
I see that the chance of winning in tomorrow's match is still held by the Real Madrid team, but at least Girona will definitely try hard to prevent Real Madrid from scoring again, yes, at least try to equalize the score in the match or series.
And tomorrow's match will certainly be very fierce because both teams are fighting to become champions of the Spanish La Liga this season.

This league would have been boring and one sided if Girona were not there. Girona has introduced some new approaches towards the la liga. Influencing it's gameplay in the future. Real Madrid is a world class team and it won't be much if we call it a level ahead of every teams including Girona.
With more than half of the league through at 22 matches each, Girona and Real have lost only once and have a point difference of 2. While rest of the teams are further 10 points down. In such scenario, the game between Girona and Real Madrid at 10th of February is going to be an epic in every sense.

Girona are still very close to Real, after 22 rounds this is an excellent result. But today they face another difficult test against Sociedad, for Girona this is a very difficult opponent, but they are a tough nut to crack for any team. It is very important for Girona to continue to stick with Real, if they lose points today and Real's lead increases, it could reduce the faith and motivation in the team.

[udidrone]

I am very sure Girona will appear all out in this match, even though they cannot win but at least they cannot lose. Real Madrid must also be careful, because it does not mean that when they won in the first meeting in this meeting they will be able to do the same.

Well I think so too, Girona might have understood their mistakes in the previous match so they will try not to repeat it. In general, Real Madrid only have more experience while in terms of players both teams have abilities we can see it on the top score and top assist list 2 Girona players are there this means that Girona only needs to prepare mentally to face this battle. I still hope Girona can give a surprise as I said before, so that the competition in Laliga is getting tougher, at least Real Madrid haven't felt safe at the top of the standings.

[Kristiyana]

Real Madrid have a better mentality than Girona, they are one of the subscription teams that won La Liga. Girona are under great pressure, if they can't withstand that pressure then they will decline towards the end of the season.

But that's not what I'm expecting, I want to see them competing strongly until the end of the season. Not winning would be fine, as long as they put pressure on Real Madrid to not win so easily.

[asriloni]

Bilbao is able to be leading 2 - 0
It is quite easy goals for them in the 3rd and 16th minutes. It seems that so far, Mallorca is not a team that is quite a problem for Athletic Club. So, however, Mallorca must try even harder. This progress could certainly get worse if Bilbao underestimates its opponent in the future. So no matter what, Bilbao must remain focused and serious until the match ends. Because no one knows what will happen next. This is just the beginning and there's still a lot of time to go. However, it is true that Bilbao should win against the Mallorca club.

The final result in Bilbao's match against Real Mallorca was 4-0. Goals were scored by Guruzeta and Muniaan for Bilbao. This result strengthens Bilbao's pursuit of a Champions League spot next season. Bilbao now trails Barcelona and Atletico Madrid by only two points in the standings.

Even though the gap to the barcelona is not that big and bilbao is still very consistent to get three points. According to the statistic if bilbao was superior int he game against mallorca by winning the game with 4 goals. Bilbao has made so many shoots and a few of them were on target.
Malloorca is slowly going down. The club is still getting horrible result which will be affecting the performance from mallorca this season. Bilbao was dominating the match with 4 goals from 6 shoots on target. It was very good accuracy for this club. Mallorca is slowly going to the relegation zone.

It has three points gap to the sevilla and celta vigo which were above the relegation zone. mallorca needs to get its best performance back again before it's too late. This is another chance for sevilla to go up again by winning the next game.
Sevilla shall have secured three points to make sure its position will be safe. It will be quite hard for sevilla to get three points but this is the only way to save sevilla from being relegated to the lower division. I think that this is a burden owned by sevilla's coach.
he needs to make sure his club will get three points or he will be potentially to be scaked by the management caused by he will unable to give positive result.

Valencia vs Almeria

Last week both teams had same results that they were lost from their opponents because Valencia lost from Atletico Madrid and Almeria lost with big scores from Alaves so they want to utilized this match to return to the winning ways and Valencia is the favourite because just like i said before their performance were quite impressive this season especially at their home that Valencia has successfully to beat Bilbao and draw from Barcelona at there so Valencia is really have good chance to be the winner of this match

For today match Thierry Correia still hard struggling to recover from this injured but besides him all of Valencia key players will be available for this match and for Almeria Luis Suarez will be doubtful to play and for head to head statistics Almeria indeed has good records from Valencia because they still unbeatable in the last 3 meeting but i think today is different because my prediction is Valencia will be able to get revenge from Almeria today because just like i said previously Valencia at home were quite strong now and the odds for Valencia also looks good @1.73 and my prediction is Valencia will be able to beat Almeria with the final scores 1-0 or 2-1

[tusandii]

Real Madrid still maintains an extremely good position in the championship race. But Girona is also Real's most notable opponent in the championship race this season. It should be noted that Girona only participates in La Liga, while Real Madrid still has to compete in the fierce Champions League. Therefore, no one knows what the Catalan team will be able to do until the end of the season, especially when they have overcome many limits.

Next, the two teams will face each other. I believe Real Malaldrid will continue to defeat Girona, disappointing Girona, Real Madrid can comfortably go straight to the throne. Nothing unexpected will happen this season.

Girona could actually be in first place if they managed to win their last five matches, but it's a shame that Girona ended in a draw, so they didn't get too many winning points. Meanwhile, currently the leader of the standings is Real Madrid because they managed to beat Getafe with a score of 2-0, which finally earned them the winning point that was used to take first place from Girona.

Real Madrid participating in the Champions League game will not be an excuse for Real Madrid to give up. Real Madrid I'd a great team which laliga and Champions league can be a target for them to win for the season at the same time. Real Madrid is an experienced team that knows how to win trophies.  Real Madrid getting to the top of the league is something that Real Madrid will try their best to retain that position. Girona still have the chance of getting to the top if only they can be able to win all their games. Girona is the point where they need  not to make mistakes.

Yes, Real Madrid is not a weak club that is easy to give up, but we'll see if Real Madrid is able to manage its players well because it's not an easy job for Ancelotti to rotate players in the Champions League and in LaLiga, whereas usually Real Madrid will prioritize Champions League matches over title in LaLiga but at that time when Barcelona was able to reach first position and currently Barca is unable to achieve first position while the only hope is Real Madrid who have to fight to get the LaLiga title because all fans of popular clubs don't want Girona to lead LaLiga at the end of the next season it became ridiculous history when a promoted club was able to beat a big club in LaLiga.

I admit that Girona performance is very strong but do you believe that a surprise will definitely happen?
I really hope that Girona will not stay in first place for long and that soon another popular club will replace them.
Just imagine how ridiculous it is that LaLiga is led by a promoted club and can simultaneously get tickets to the Champions League while popular clubs are unable to get tickets to the Champions League.

[Blitzboy]

Girona have been the surprise team of the current Spanish La Liga campaign so I'm not surprised that a lot of people are already backing them to win the league title at the end of the current season. But it'll be very difficult for Girona to achieve such if you ask me because a big team like Real Madrid are already in contention to win the Spanish La Liga title.

Real Madrid is undoubtedly the strongest team in the Spanish league at the moment and I don't expect them to lose the league title to an average team like Girona. In my own opinion, Girona can only finish the season in the top four of the league table but I don't see them winning the league ahead of Real Madrid

Girona was underrated in the early beginning of the season,  we all thought it was fun watching an average club making the big bold step forward, they didn't hesitate but compete with strong clubs and we have watch their performance, they're currently the only team making it extremely difficult for Real Madrid to sits comfortably on #1 position on the table. Girona shocked everyone with the outstanding performance, they didn't choose to rest but always 100% ready for top actions that would be flowing in.

Girona was a surprise in Laliga we have never seen a moment like this before even 10 years ago, Girona played without expensive and famous players but they were able to record a win in every match. Not only that, their ability to score goals should not be ignored and Girona is the team with the most goals this season leaving Real Madrid and other strong teams Girona even placed one of its players as the top scorer in La Liga. Real Madrid does have a bigger chance of winning Laliga this season but Girona could surprise us at the end of the season, who knows.

Real Madrid still maintains an extremely good position in the championship race. But Girona is also Real's most notable opponent in the championship race this season. It should be noted that Girona only participates in La Liga, while Real Madrid still has to compete in the fierce Champions League. Therefore, no one knows what the Catalan team will be able to do until the end of the season, especially when they have overcome many limits.

Next, the two teams will face each other. I believe Real Madrid will continue to defeat Girona, disappointing Girona, Real Madrid can comfortably go straight to the throne. Nothing unexpected will happen this season.

You may be overlooking Girona's potential in this title race. Madrid is in a solid position, but Girona is just a few points away. Its apparent Girona is a contender after seeing their season. They've shown tremendous perseverance, and with Real Madrid's Champions League obligations, Girona could break through and overcome them.

Real Madrid overcoming Girona seems inevitable, but I disagree. Their match may depend on Girona's exclusive emphasis on La Liga. Girona can focus on the league while Real Madrid jumps around. Focusing could improve their game and make them strong opponents in this key encounter. Early dismissal of Girona's hopes seems premature.

[Mayor of ogba]

Real Madrid is the strongest team in La Liga at the moment and indeed in their last few matches Real Madrid have sufficiently proven their quality and strength but Girona should not be underestimated either, from what Girona has done throughout this season, Real Madrid should be wary of Girona in the title race this season.

I also agree with what you said. Real Madrid is the strongest team in La Liga this season. I think they are almost certain to win the League title. Girona are a great team but I am worried about their consistency in the league. We can see that there are many underrated teams like Girona and it is very difficult to become champions. But still I really respect and admire Girona because they managed to get second place in the standings. Hopefully they can bring in some great players next season.

Girona has managed to be strong and consistent in La Liga this season, and it was only Real Madrid that defeated Girona yet, so there is nothing to be worried about Girona's consistency this season. Real Madrid is only leading Girona by 2 points, and if Real Madrid fails to win their matches, I think Girona will overtake them at the top of the La Liga table.

[Velvet78]

To me is best for him not to play much because some if these players when given the time to play for a longer period they start losing that touch of brilliance, that's the same thing that's happening to Garnacho who always starts from the bench and get goals or assist (even save the team from losing) but since the coach starts giving him a longer time to play, he has never been himself, so I think Ancelotti should build this guy Joselu little by little and with time he'd feel the game whenever he gets to be on the pitch.
Bellingham should also be given a rest and without that rest I think he might lose his form, goals will hardly come, the coach shouldn't rush these young players no matter how good they're doing they need some time out.

Yeah actually you are right about that as well. Some players are really much more effective interestingly when they don't play full time. Maybe they are getting tired faster than others which is leading the manager to prefer subbing in that player from the bench. Garnacho's performance started to get better recently by the way.

Bellingham really deserves a rest when it is possible. Because he played in a very tight schedule and all of them were like full time. There are even games in which he played for 120 minutes.    But he is such an amazing player that he can still play very impressively in every single one of those games. 

[makishart]

We are in the second half of the season and the teams I believed are not doing meeting expectations,Barca is one of those teams,they have performed below expectations and if they aren't really careful,they might end up not being in the top four.Athletico Madrid might pass them in the table and it will be difficult for them to climb up above them.If they cannot win convincingly when they face a small team,then how can they cope when they meet big teams.It is clear that Xavi Hernandez did not properly train his boys to be able to play big teams that is why anytime they meet Madrid,they always lose to Madrid.They really need to improve in their performance if they are to maintain the position they currently are.

Barcelona's performance is quite disappointing even though they are still in the top 5 of the Laliga standings, this second half is not good for them and I think that's what makes Barcelona not have a good performance, maybe it could be true, xavi is not coaching the current team so he doesn't give a good out put in the match.

Barcelona was always showing poor performance since early of this season. Some players have been losing their peak performances and i predict that if barcelona can only finish at the third place and this may become the best achievement that can be achieved by barcelona.
Laporta wants him to stay for another season but xavi has been refusing a new offer from laporta and he is willing to leave from the club. Im only predicting that there are many problems still remain unsolved in the barcelona. The limitation owned by the club to buy the new players were making the situation even worst.

Looking at the game I highlight more on the Barcelona front line which has regressed, you could say it is not as sharp as before, although possession is very good but they do not have good finishing at the end of the attack, be it lewandowski in my opinion is not optimal as the spearhead of Barcelona at the end of this season, Atletico Madrid can catch Barcelona if Xavi cannot get options for their more effective attack strategy.

Lewandowski's performance has been declining a lot, and he is now nothing rather than an average player in the barcelona. His performance is very different compared to the last season. I think that financial issue was the main reason that was also making the situation in the club become even worst.
To be honest, once a club will be losing ability to strengthen its player through buying the new player and it will be a disaster caused by barcelona was always relied upon the new player bought from other clubs to strengthen the squad. That's the best decision that came from xavi to leave from the club instead of stay for another season.

I do like this. Barcelona is slowly dying and it may be bankrupt anytime without any notice.

[rozak]

After there was no Benzema in the team, Ancelotti often put 2 strikers in his formation. whether it's Vinicius with Rodrygo, or Vini with Joselu.
Vinicius also hasn't been seen playing very extraordinary in Madrid. Bellingham, who plays as a midfielder, is the most productive player that Madrid currently has.
Madrid also currently has several players who are quite old, such as Toni Kroos and Modric. I think Madrid will not only focus on their attack line. but some lines may need squad rejuvenation.

This season their scheme is a little different although in terms of actual players it still supports a 3 striker formation but after losing several players last season especially losing Benzema it looks like Ancelotti wants to try with 2 strikers and 1 second striker where Jude's role is emphasized to be a midfielder as well as attacking simultaneously and that successfully makes him stand out but on the other hand there are some changes that actually make some players lose their role in the end.

With the current scheme I see a difference from Valverde's position which is not as intense as it used to be and Rodrygo's role in the squad has also decreased slightly due to the adaptation of the new formation but it is possible that this will change soon because looking at the adaptation of some young players it seems that they will also not interfere especially when next season the possibility of 3 strikers will be used again.

Ancelotti has often experimented with his formations lately. randomizing several players who were not in playing positions before. Ancelotti did not change the composition of their 2 strikers. but for second strikers the position often changes along with the attacking midfielder used.
Modric, Bellingham, and Valverde are often rotated by Ancelotti. even the strangest and never used by Ancelotti before, the 4-2-2-2 formation. Ancelotti once used it when facing Mallorca.

Now Madrid's position in the standings is better. managed to beat Girona in terms of points. Madrid's next opponents are Atletico and Girona. These will be 2 interesting matches with Madrid's hard work.

[xzone]

Real Madrid have a better mentality than Girona, they are one of the subscription teams that won La Liga. Girona are under great pressure, if they can't withstand that pressure then they will decline towards the end of the season.

But that's not what I'm expecting, I want to see them competing strongly until the end of the season. Not winning would be fine, as long as they put pressure on Real Madrid to not win so easily.

We're all wondering what Girona can do at the end of the year. We know that small teams like Girona have difficulty achieving success when under pressure. Especially towards the end of the season, their form drops and they start to lose points.
That's what's happening now, they've drawn twice in the last few weeks. I want to see what they will do in the coming weeks, it does not look like Real Madrid will lose points

Girona is not under pressure at the moment, in fact they are currently at the peak of their freedom without any targets that they have to achieve, so they can continue to put out their best performance because they play every match without any burden.
However, at crucial times, Girona was a little doubtful because they did not have a strong mentality like Real Madrid.

What Girona has shown so far is fantastic, no one expected it before and I'm sure a team as small as Girona is not targeting to win the L League.
So they have now exceeded their target and if they win that means it's a bonus for them.
That way, wouldn't they be able to play freely without the slightest burden in every match?

I think so far there are no problems whatsoever with Girona's performance, they are still consistent.

[Docnaster]

Yes, Real Madrid is still at the top of the standings at the moment to fight for the La Liga title, but Girona is a serious threat to Real Madrid because it still has the opportunity to overtake Real Madrid because it only has a small difference in points, therefore Real Madrid continues to maintain its consistency even though it has a fairly busy schedule. .

next week we will watch the two teams compete. I think Real Madrid will beat Girona again like before because in every aspect Real Madrid is superior to Girona and if Real Madrid can win the match then the gap between the two points will be even bigger.

I think that almost everyone agrees Real Madrid will win but don't put 100% confident in Real Madrid because everything can happen even what we have never thought of before, Girona once defeated Barcelona last December and at that time Girona played away well maybe they can do the same thing we never know what will happen. I personally want to see Girona win in this fight so that competition is more fierce until the end of the season, or did you ever think that Girona would win the LaLiga title? like what happened in the Premier League a few years ago.

The only defeat Girona suffered was when they met Real Madrid, which made the confidence of some people even greater and said Real Madrid would beat Girona again. But on the other hand, Girona will also definitely try very hard to be able to win this match, because after all if they lose to Real Madrid it will make their chances of winning La Liga even smaller.
I am very sure Girona will appear all out in this match, even though they cannot win but at least they cannot lose. Real Madrid must also be careful, because it does not mean that when they won in the first meeting in this meeting they will be able to do the same.

Girona have been absolutely impressive since the start of the season but one of their achievement so far this season was their ability to have lost just one Spanish La Liga game since the start of the season and I boldly say that it's very surprising to many including their rivals Real Madrid. But the fact that their only defeat of the season was in the hands of Real Madrid, it's made a lot of people to believe that when they meet again on the league, Carlo Ancelotti's men are still gonna defeat Girona.
Real Madrid have a very strong match play this weekend against Atletico Madrid who also is the only team to have defeated them in the league this season after that game, their next league game will be against Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and in my own opinion, the result of that game will determine if Girona will still have a chance to win the league title or not

[piebeyb]

Now Madrid's position in the standings is better. managed to beat Girona in terms of points. Madrid's next opponents are Atletico and Girona. These will be 2 interesting matches with Madrid's hard work.

After winning against Getafe, Madrid is now at the top of the standings and Girona will face Sociedad in today's match. If Girona fails to win of course it will be detrimental for them, against Atletico Madrid it will certainly make Madrid a little difficult because Madrid was defeated by Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey at the same time eliminated them from the tournament, if Madrid were to experience defeat or get a draw it would be detrimental to Madrid in the race for the title this season.

Against Girona may not be that difficult for Madrid because in the previous meeting Madrid beat Girona, so for Madrid their challenge is to face Atletico Madrid later at least they have to get the full three points to be able to secure their position and not be left behind by the point difference with Girona, if Girona manages to win against Sociedad today, even though I know that Madrid has a winning mentality, at least they still have to be careful when facing Atletico Madrid because they are strong enough to beat.

Real Madrid is only leading Girona by 2 points, and if Real Madrid fails to win their matches, I think Girona will overtake them at the top of the La Liga table.

There is a lot of competition in the points table between these two teams, Madrid and Girona. Although in the same position as the Real Madrid team occupying the first place, the Girona team is much stronger at the moment. Both teams have 22 points, but Real Madrid's win rate is higher than Real Madrid's and Real Madrid's team has occupied the first place in the points table.
