La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Solokan]

Recently, Girona's performance has not been good, such as against Real Sociedad, at that time Girona's match ended with a draw and continued to compete against Madrid and at that time Girona had to swallow the bitter pill and had to accept defeat with a score of 4-0 and continued again against Bilbao and the result was It was very surprising because Bilbao managed to win against Girona with a score of 3-2.

I know that Girona manager did something good that made his players to scored all those goals from Rayo vallecano, because what Real Madrid did to them in their home made many people to conclude what will happen at the end of this tournament because people are still doubting that Real Madrid will not win this title but after that match that made Real Madrid to defeated Girona 4-0 changed many people mind. I know, Girona players are doing well in this season to came up to second position in the la Liga league table, but it will be difficult for them to win this title because Real Madrid and Barcelona will not allow such mistakes to happen. Well, if Girona can be consistent in their winning, they will be able to maintain that second position but it look like Barcelona are coming to take over that position from Girona.

Yes, the competition is now getting more exciting and what is certain is that Xavi's troops are also eager to win trophies again this season, especially since there is news that Xavi will stop being Barcelona coach, so I think if for example Xavi quits and Barcelona occupies 2nd or 1st place, it will certainly be a sweet memory for Xavi.

but in my opinion, if for example Girona consistently wins, it will certainly make it difficult for Barcelona to shift Girona's position. because after Girona competes against Mallorca, Barcelona will compete against Bilbao.

However, it is not easy for Girona to win a trophy this season because the point difference is quite large. Indeed, if they reach second place, there are high hopes for Girona even though they have to compete closely with Barcelona. Yes, Girona's only hope of becoming champions is to see Real Madrid lose to their opponents, but of course Real Madrid is a team that is difficult to beat because Real Madrid is currently the strongest team in La Liga.

Don't be too quick to conclude that they will be in the Champions League next season, because even though they are in position 2, they are not completely safe because their distance can still be pursued by other teams. 10 points is their distance from the team in 5th position, yes it is indeed a pretty far distance. But if they again achieve negative results in a row as before, then they will be overtaken by the team in 5th position.
Now they just have to focus on each match they will play in La Liga if they want to be in the Champions League next season. and they must perform as well as possible in each match.

We have to look at it realistically, Girona has strength and consistency and they are currently in 2nd place in the La LIga standings and Girona has everything to be able to enter or get a ticket to the Champions League next season, I don't doubt that one bit.
Now Girona is competing with Barcelona for second place in the standings and in my opinion, with the strength and consistency that Girona currently has, it is very possible for them to win this competition.

Girona has everything need to get la liga trophy. The only problem if its opponent(real madrid) becomes even more consistent to get three points while we are only havin 12 matchdays remaining at this moment. I remember that if bellingham being investigated after he was mocking mason greenwood with as a rap*st.
The good thing is greenwood has ordered la liga to drop the investigation toward bellingham. There is also another good news if we will see him back again at the early march.

Mason Greenwood, a player for Getafe, has attempted to intercede on behalf of Jude Bellingham to persuade the Federation to cease the investigation against the Real Madrid midfielder, after the Englishman allegedly called him a "rapist."

Girona can be in advantage when real madrid was missing one of its best players but the news about bellingham's comeback will also decreasing girona's chance to win the competition. We did know how productive bellingham is in real madrid.
It will be a fucking disaster for girona if bellingham will comeback soon.

An update on the plans of the coaching staff at Real Madrid to reintroduce Jude Bellingham into the club’s matchday setup has this evening been provided.

https://onefootball.com/en/news/carlo-ancelottis-jude-bellingham-return-plan-revealed-39119211

I have mentioned the news regarding the potential of bellingham soon. Im expecting real madrid to miss somepoints till the end of season but it will be probably less than 6 points which will make situation still safe for real madrid.

[Salahmu]

but in my opinion, if for example Girona consistently wins, it will certainly make it difficult for Barcelona to shift Girona's position. because after Girona competes against Mallorca, Barcelona will compete against Bilbao.

Of course that's the only way for Girona to totally secure the second position of the league table only if they can be more consistent enough to win all there upcoming matches because right now they are on a very tight position with Barcelona and any mistake of losing any matches could course the team the second position, so in terms like these the only prayer of the both side is for the other to lose match so that they can have more points over them. Considering there upcoming matches I think Barcelona is more on a difficult situation than Girona because they will be meeting Athletic Club on there next match and in as much as Athletic Club may have not gotten to the position Barcelona is but there performance is very impressive so I doubt if Barcelona will be able to win them because if they can draw there match against Granada that's currently at the relegation Area of the league table there chances of wining Athletic club is very low, so if they mistakenly lose or draw there match against Athletic club then Girona will be a bit far ahead of them on the league table.

Yes, I also found news related to this, if Greenwood wants the case vs Bellingham to be dropped. Bellingham may have gone too far with this, but Greenwood seems to have certain reasons for his decision. One of them is that he only wants to focus on his football performance, without being distracted by cases like this.

For this season, it seems that Real Madrid's performance cannot be as optimal without Bellingham, especially in the attacking line. Even though he is a young and new player at Real Madrid, his contribution and performance really has a big influence on Real Madrid. So, it really does matter when he is absent, whether due to injury or other cases.

Hopefully this will be a lesson for Bellingham, despite the fact that his words are true, you still have to be professional and maintain your words amidst his rising status. Because no matter how small a mistake is made by a player, many people pay attention to it and will become a benchmark for the future. Being a great player is not only about quality but also being able to control your emotions. Bellingham must apologize and show an attitude of realizing his mistake because he went too far. And I appreciate Greenwood's actions in not prolonging the problem, because it shows a mature attitude. Don't bring personal problems onto the field and in the future Bellingham can be even better at guarding his words.

The match with Atletico Girona will only be played in April, before this match Girona have 4 more matches to play, and given how close Barcelona are to them, each match will be of particular importance for them. It's one thing when you're trying to chase down a leader, but it's a completely different thing when you're trying to hold your place when a team like Barcelona is right behind you. Any loss could mean Barcelona overtaking them, and I think it's only a matter of time before that happens.

With four more matches till a match against Atletico Madrid, Girona potentially can lose points and maybe they will say goodbye to La Liga title dream even before that match.

I know the match against Atletico Madrid can be a hardest one for them in rest matches but Girona recently did not show that they will be able to maximize their earned points from other matches. They need to aim at maximize earned points and must wait for dropped points from Real Madrid. All matches for them are equally important, not only the match against Atletico Madrid.

They are even challenged by Barcelona and only two bad matches can cost them a second position.

Of the four matches before against Atletico Madrid, with which team will Girona lose points? because I actually see the opposite where Girona will get full points in these four matches except when they will face Atletico Madrid, although it is also possible that Girona will beat Atletico.
Three bad results in the last five matches are very detrimental for Girona, especially when the competition is getting tougher but they have failed to maintain their performance.
However, Girona's chances are actually getting slimmer to be able to displace Real Madrid from the top of the standings because Real Madrid is a team that has experience in La Liga, they understand how to perform when the situation is on their side, and I don't remember that they have ever failed to become champions after being ahead on six points.
This is quite convincing from its competitors, because usually failures like this are carried out by teams that are not experienced enough to win La Liga, moreover Real Madrid has a very experienced coach so it seems impossible for Girona to become champions this seasons but their appearance this season has given a different color to the competition in Laliga, making it more interesting.

[Warkop]

Girona can really take advantage of this opportunity. So they can get 2 more goals after the Rayo Vallecano player gets a red card. This is sure to be a major blow for Rayo. On the other hand, this is like a gift for Girona. Girona got 3 full points and they again took over 2nd place in La Liga. This proves again that Girona is still able to compete in the top clubs. Although in some current matches, their performance result may not be as optimal as we expect.

We don't need to be too confident in Girona as they have been unpredictable lately, after failing to compete with Real Madrid they really played badly and I assume they have no motivation to chase Real Madrid. Their only target was just to finish in the top 4 and they have done that, next season Girona is ready to play in the Champions League.

Don't be too quick to conclude that they will be in the Champions League next season, because even though they are in position 2, they are not completely safe because their distance can still be pursued by other teams. 10 points is their distance from the team in 5th position, yes it is indeed a pretty far distance. But if they again achieve negative results in a row as before, then they will be overtaken by the team in 5th position.
Now they just have to focus on each match they will play in La Liga if they want to be in the Champions League next season. and they must perform as well as possible in each match.

You are right about this, the game still looks very long and Girona still have a lot of games left to face this season. However, I think Girona can definitely win the next match, because I saw that when Girona beat Rayo yesterday, all of Girona's main players had returned to play. With such a large point difference, I am sure Girona will not waste the match they are facing and will continue to try hard to win the next match in order to maintain their ranking position in the standings. Girona will definitely prove that they are able to maintain their performance and always be consistent in their matches.

Girona's percentage of winning the title is very small and I would even say it is almost impossible, in terms of quality and consistency they are not much better than Real Madrid, so even though there are still many matches left this season, it doesn't give Girona a chance to catch up or overtake Real Madrid.

In terms of quality, Girona's team has really declined in the last few matches, but for the match against Atletico Madrid which will be played in the next few weeks, I don't think Girona has any extra burden because they are almost guaranteed to finish in the top 4 of the standings, in fact at this time that burden it's on the Atletico Madrid team to win the match.

Even though they don't have sufficient strength, Girona has pretty good consistency, so they have a pretty big chance of being able to maintain their 2nd position.

[Velvet78]

Athletic Bilbao wasted a big chance the last time by the way. If they were able to beat Betis they were going to take the fourth position from Atletico Madrid. Because head-to-head games are taken into account first and Athletic Bilbao are ahead of Atletico Madrid about that. But Athletic Bilbao wasted this chance to equalize their points. 

However I must admit Betis can be a really tough challenge. I was just not waiting for them to win by a score like 3-1. Athletic Bilbao defense had a terrible day. Next time Athletic Bilbao are going to face Barcelona as well so their job is going to be difficult once again. Athletic Bilbao couldn't beat them in the league for many years.

[Moreno233]

but in my opinion, if for example Girona consistently wins, it will certainly make it difficult for Barcelona to shift Girona's position. because after Girona competes against Mallorca, Barcelona will compete against Bilbao.

Girona have not done what they made people think they will do. At the earlier part of the league, they made people have so much hope and confidence in them to the extent that we all thought the will be able to win the league. Maybe we were expecting so much from them through day dreaming. It was not long before they were returned to an average team which they rightfully are. I don't have the confidence that Girona will be able to displace Barcelona because they will fail to win when no one is expecting like that have done recently if not that they won their last match against Rayo Vallecano. Now it is over for them with the league title, their fight now should be for Champions league next season.

Absolutely real Madrid are indeed the strongest in the Laliga this season they have been competing at a high level and there is no sign of them slowing down. At the earlier part of the season, I was hoping Girona will provide real competition for real Madrid. But it's quite unfortunate that Girona couldn't live up to expectations and this has allowed Real Madrid to establish a reasonable point gap between them and the rest of the teams. Barcelona used to be the team to compete with Madrid but this season seems to be a difficult one for them. So let's hope next season will be different in Laliga.

Can't take advantage for pressure Atletico Madrid on the top fourth position after losing last match and Athletic Bilbao had losses against Real Betis, current position Athletic Bilbao remaining three points left and seems easily if can secure three points last match because Atletico Madrid losses three points. Excited to see current standings position because not only fighting for La Liga tittle but several teams want to qualify on top fourth position behind Atletico Madrid get remaining points left from Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis.

Bilboa don't losses points any more if want get Champion League ticket next season, they have many difficult matches left in La Liga from facing Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will be difficult to get three points.

[Toro iskandar]

It seems that Real Madrid is currently holding a big party because the club will welcome a new player to the club, namely Kylan Mbappe, a football player who has extraordinary abilities and is an idol for world football fans. Of course this will be a matter of pride for the Real Madrid club. Madrid.
Real Madrid President, Javier Tebas certainly can't wait to welcome the world's top player and this will be a huge advantage in transferring and supporting the Real Madrid squad to become a very strong club this season.
And Kylan Mbappe's move is of course just a matter of time. With this transfer, Real Madrid will be even more advanced and invincible.

According to my predictions, this league will become a competency that is very much in demand and liked by the world community because with many of the world's top players entering this competency, this can trigger and encourage this league to become a prestigious competition. events in the world.
And not only that, the arrival of Kylan Mbappe as one of the players in the Spanish League is very helpful and profitable for the Spanish League to increase the popularity and glory of the Spanish League in the future.
The current president does not feel confused and dizzy thanks to the entry of Kylan Mbappe, the Spanish League will try to progress again and be more present after previously famous players left the Spanish League this season, namely Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and the exit of these two top players at this time. Very influential on the popularity of the Spanish League in the eyes of world football.
And now this has paid off with the arrival of Kylan Mbappe, the president of the Spanish League, who hopes that the league will revive and progress rapidly towards glory.

Well I agree that Bilbao have wasted the opportunity they had to be level on points with Atletico Madrid. But because the opponent they faced was Real Betis, for me this result was not surprising. Because Bilbao also lost one player in the match, namely Nico Williams, who had to leave the field in the 40th minute due to receiving a red card. And at that time Bilbao was also 2 goals behind. So it is very natural that Bilbao had difficulty equalizing the score in this match.

Bilbao failed to get full points in the last match and in the next match they also have the potential to lose points again. but fortunately Betis also has strong opponents who can make Betis lose points too. Because what Betis will face is Atletico Madrid. Well everything will be an interesting match. because this is a match between 4 clubs ranked 3 to 6.

As someone who's been following the development of Jude Bellingham right from when he made his first appearance for Borussia Dortmund till this very moment of his career at Real Madrid, I was very surprised to read the news of his alleged bad wordings to his fellow England international Mason Greenwood because Bellingham isn't the kind of footballer that's always in the news for the wrong reasons rather a player that's known for been peaceful whenever he's on the pitch. It was alleged that he even referred to Greenwood as a rapist which made the authorities of Spanish football to order a full investigation of the matter but the concerned player has just told the investigation panel to drop the case against his compatriot Jude Bellingham even when I'm the investigation so far reveals that Jude Bellingham is guilty as accused by Mason Greenwood and that I think is a great spirit of sportsmanship and forgiveness that Greenwood has shown to his fellow Englishman.

 Now that Mason Greenwood have decided to bury the hatchet and embrace peace with Jude Bellingham, the latter must consciously learn from the incident in other to avoid a reoccurrence of such issue again so he doesn't ruin his great footballing talent with off the ball incidents. I love the two players and would want each of them to succeed in their respective professional careers

Of course that's the only way for Girona to totally secure the second position of the league table only if they can be more consistent enough to win all there upcoming matches because right now they are on a very tight position with Barcelona and any mistake of losing any matches could course the team the second position, so in terms like these the only prayer of the both side is for the other to lose match so that they can have more points over them. Considering there upcoming matches I think Barcelona is more on a difficult situation than Girona because they will be meeting Athletic Club on there next match and in as much as Athletic Club may have not gotten to the position Barcelona is but there performance is very impressive so I doubt if Barcelona will be able to win them because if they can draw there match against Granada that's currently at the relegation Area of the league table there chances of wining Athletic club is very low, so if they mistakenly lose or draw there match against Athletic club then Girona will be a bit far ahead of them on the league table.

The match with Atletico Girona will only be played in April, before this match Girona have 4 more matches to play, and given how close Barcelona are to them, each match will be of particular importance for them. It's one thing when you're trying to chase down a leader, but it's a completely different thing when you're trying to hold your place when a team like Barcelona is right behind you. Any loss could mean Barcelona overtaking them, and I think it's only a matter of time before that happens.

Girona could stumble in the remaining matches ahead, there is no definite guarantee that they will continue to be consistent and finish in runner-up position. The same thing also applies to other contestants including Barcelona, where they also won't necessarily remain consistent when Girona or Madrid stumble, we see things like that very often. As the season draws to a close, the intensity of competition and dynamics in the top four are increasingly complex, but I am confident that Girona can secure a ticket to the Champions League next season.

Girona future test of consistency will be a little easier than Barcelona, where Michel fleet will face Mallorca. We know that Mallorca is currently ranked 16th, which means Girona chances of securing additional points are very high, even though Mallorca acts as host. Barcelona itself will face Bilbao, we know the background of these two teams is to move up one ranking from where they are currently, obviously that is a bit troublesome for Xavi fleet.

Overall, next week will be very challenging for the teams ranked in the top six, the top teams could experience a surprising defeat. Apart from that, the most interesting thing is how ATM maintained its position from Bilbao threat, unfortunately last week that didn't materialize because Betis thwarted it. Next week, Betis could again become a stumbling block for ATM.

Next time Athletic Bilbao are going to face Barcelona as well so their job is going to be difficult once again. Athletic Bilbao couldn't beat them in the league for many years.

In that match, Bilbao had difficulty turning things around. Because with
The 2 goals scored by Betis in the first half will definitely make the Bilbao players a little stressed. Moreover, the second goal scored by Betis was a rebound from the Bilbao goalkeeper's hand which hit the body of Berchiche (Bilbao defender) which eventually went into the Bilbao goal. So it is certain that the pressure will be even more extra for the Bilbao players. Apart from that, one of the Bilbao players (Nico) received a red card so Bilbao lost one player. Which of course made Bilbao's line-up a little unbalanced, making it easier for Betis to dominate the match. So it is natural that in that match Bilbao lost to Betis. Because, with one less player, Bilbao has many gaps.

But even so, it was extraordinary that the Bilbao players were able to score one goal when the team was in a disadvantageous position.
But unfortunately Bilbao still couldn't avoid defeat against Betis.
So after I saw the match between Bilbao and Betis. It seems that if for example no Bilbao players had received red cards and there had been no own goals, I think Bilbao would probably have won the game.

And regarding the match that Bilbao will play in the next two weeks, it will indeed be tougher than facing Betis. The reason is that apart from facing Barcelona, ​​who is currently in third place, Bilbao will also face Atletico Madrid, who is currently in fourth place. So in the next two weeks, it will really be a tough challenge for Bilbao.

Girona doesn't need to compete for second place, their goal is to qualify for the Champions League, I mean as long as Girona is still in the top 4 then they will qualify for the Champions League. The point gap between Girona and Bilbao is very high, it is 10 points which seems very difficult for Bilbao to compete with. Girona are not in a dangerous position even though Barcelona are 2 points below them, meaning second place doesn't mean much if it's just about the Champions League.

Real Madrid leads the standings with a gap of 6 points from Girona, 8 points from Barcelona and 13 points from Atletico Madrid. The title race doesn't look interesting because Real Madrid's chances are much higher than the other 3 teams. Girona and Barcelona can still hope, but as long as Real Madrid's performance remains consistent then nothing will change until the end of the season.
