La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Cryptomultiplier]

Real Madrid is seven points ahead of Girona and eight points ahead of Barcelona so the opportunity to win La Liga is very big. Real Madrid's performance can also be said to be stable because they have recorded consecutive wins after being defeated by Atletico Madrid in week six. Now they are so consistent in La Liga and it is still quite difficult to beat Real Madrid with their current strength so the opportunity to catch Real Madrid is impossible for Girona or Barcelona.

That's right, the difference in points between Real Madrid and Girona is quite large, let alone Barcelona. Of course, no one can catch points from Real Madrid, because Girona's performance seems to have dropped slightly and Barcelona still looks less consistent in the matches they play. It is clear that Real Madrid's performance still looks very good and they still have good consistency so there is no need to doubt Real Madrid in the upcoming match. In essence, Real Madrid can beat all of its opponents in the next match to maintain its points and ranking position at the top of the standings to become champions of La Liga this season.

It's quite certain Real Madrid will get to win their remaining matches, but Girona may have to drop points and slip to third position on the la Liga table, of they should draw or loss any matches further.
Girona has been quite an impressive team this season and it goes to show that they can wield the pressure of the UCL should they qualify at the end of season. The question is however, if they or Manchester city get to be chosen to play in the UCL.

If Manchester city does win the UCL league, Girona would have to resort to doing better in another league they would play in and hope to replicate this seasons performance so as to return with the hopes of playing in the UCL.

Barcelona is already a weak team after Messi left them, Barcelona now is full of old players which sooner will retire.

Girona lost it's confidence after they lose against Real Madrid, this might hit them hard and since they haven't experienced in this position, it's not easy for them to comeback and fix the issues.

Atletico Madrid is always be a dark horse, not surprising they're quite consistent. They will able to overtake Barcelona's position.

Luckily for Madrid after they only got 1 point Girona lost and Bacelona drew. They still have a considerable points gap from Girona. As for Barcelona, injuries to several key players have weakened them. One of them is Pedri. Xavi seems to be getting happy because Pedri can play against Atlhtic Club but Xavi must also be sad because Pedri and De Jong are injured again. Xavi can't do much this winter transfer season. Because of their poor financial condition.

Yes, that is how it works when you are fortunate enough to have your competitors produce poor outcomes as well. I was in a horrible mood when Real Madrid drew with Valencia, but it all paid off because Barcelona and Girona were also struggling. It has greatly altered my mood. I was pleased with the outcome because no club received three points save Atletico Madrid.
I'm not sure what's caused Madrid to perform so poorly. It's crazy how the outcome versus Valencia affected Real Madrid's gameplay in UCL as well. Real Madrid trapped me twice in a row. Madrid's gameply is unpleasant to watch, even when the club has Bellingham in the main squad.

There is no chance Real Madrid will see another dip following a significant surge at the end of the season. It's hard to believe that Real Madrid will miss another point in the upcoming game. Ancellotti must prioritize this as his first issue.
Madrid needs to regain their best form as soon as possible. It's insane to see how vini and some strikers aren't even able to help the club win the game.

The match versus Valencia had a negative impact on the players' mental state. I hope they can regain their finest form soon.

Barcelona has been beyond hope since the start of the season with all the problems they are experiencing, so this team doesn't seem ready to compete with Real Madrid in the race for the title.
And if someone says that after Messi left, the Barcelona team declined very drastically, I think that was not the only factor, but the lack of regeneration and management ability to make Barceona maintain its consistency like before.

For Real Madrid this season I think they are quite comfortable at the top of the standings without any significant pressure from other teams, even though they got a draw last week but that didn't have any effect on them.

Have you heard that Ancelotti allegedly evaded tax and he might get prison sentence of 4 years and 9 months?  

According to Sky News there is a possibility like this. But it is an allegation as I said and as far as I know Ancelotti denied this. I hope there isn't really such thing done by him. Otherwise it would be really unfortunate for a great manager like Ancelotti. I think he won't be found guilty of this accusation. It just doesn't make sense to me especially while he is still doing his job actively. If he was retired then I wouldn't have been so sure of that as I don't know him personally in the end.  

Yes, I have also read this news in several local news in my country. But Ancelotti has also denied this and he said it was just an old story that started many years ago. (Sourch)
So I think Ancelotti will be fine. Because usually news like this appears quite often but in the end the news will subside by itself and disappear.
Ancelotti is currently an important figure who makes Real Madrid always on the list of strong teams that their opponents are always afraid of. And I hope Real Madrid will not lose its coach. And hopefully this problem is just a problem from the past that has been resolved.

Girona lost it's confidence after they lose against Real Madrid, this might hit them hard and since they haven't experienced in this position, it's not easy for them to comeback and fix the issues.

Talking about how Barcelona got weak after Messi left the team is something that no one will agree with because, if we put these things into consideration, Barcelona started having poor and weak performances before Messi left the team. I can say they will find it hard to be so strong as before again, although Barcelona are really trying their best in performance because they are somehow reliable in some matches but not that strong, so still, even though we know that Barcelona are weak, they are not that weak but just slightly weak in performance. 
 
Girona doesn’t only lose confidence; they also lose their game form. That is just a fact, because if we can check their game performance that they have been playing since after they lost against Real Madrid, you will know that they don’t even have form in their games anymore. That is, they keep losing against teams that are not even up to the challenge of winning them, which makes many people lose the confidence that they have in them. 

[bering]

Talking about Atletico Madrid opponent for this weekend on the paper Cadiz should be an easy opponent for Atletico Madrid because we all know Cadiz still hard struggling to avoiding relegation zone and during this season Cadiz only able to gets 2 wins and currently they also as the team with the most draw in Laliga with 13 draws and for Atletico Madrid we all know this team is still compete for Champion League spots with Bilbao or probably Betis and they can collect 17 wins from 27 matches so certainly Atletico Madrid is much better compared to Cadiz

But i don't think it will be so easy for Atletico Madrid because just like i said before Atletico Madrid had a problem with their consistency from away matches and 6 loses and 3 draws is not impressive records from the team just like Atletico Madrid even the latest is Atletico Madrid only able to playing draw against the team from the bottom position Almeria so these statistics is makes me doubt Atletico Madrid will be able to overcomes Cadiz especially Atletico Madrid seems have a problem while against weak teams and i am thinking possibility this match will ended to draw again

If Madrid meets a team like Manchester City again at a point when Man City are in hot form and Madrid is not in good form, they would most likely be eliminated by Manchester City again like it happened last season. Teams like Bayern and PSG too are teams that can knock out Madrid. Inter Milan too is a good team. They can knock out Madrid if they survive Atletico and meet Madrid. The Champions League is tough but the good news for Madrid is that it is these kinds of games that bring out the best in them.

Madrid has dominated La Liga. They are certain to be champions of La Liga this season. Nobody denies it. But in the Champions League the competition will be different because there are lots of strong teams at the same level as Madrid. City, Inter, even Arsenal and Atletico can be teams that can beat Madrid. But I think Madrid can also win the Champions League this season because of their solid performance. They are able to win the match even if it is 1-0 or 2-1. In the League they have drawn 3 of the last five matches. But they still have a 7 point advantage over Girona and with their winning mentality I think they will be able to win some crucial games to get the La Liga title.

In my personal opinion, Real Madrid in La Liga can still be chased by Girona and even Barcelona, so it is not certain that Real Madrid can win La Liga, lately sometimes Real Madrid can be shaken, and like three matches in the last five matches Real Madrid got a match with a draw.

And yes, for the champions themselves it is very tight, all teams have the ability to overthrow each other, such intense competition will be very difficult to predict who will be defeated and win, Man City and Intermilan which in my opinion are more dominant at this time, but who knows, Ancelotti might have the ultimate trick.

[bastisisca]

Girona is having a bad time recently, if there is any team that is underperforming right now, it shouldn't be them but football is what it is, it's full of surprises and that is what is happening but deep down, I love it. They took lalaiga for fun and turn it to a farmers leagues as outsiders do call it but now it seems the classical teams that are on ground are picking up but if Barcelona last two games they drew is making slowing them down, if Girona pick up before them, they will be difficult to catch up.
--cut--

the physical decline is being felt in Girona, it was obvious that sooner or later it would arrive, the excessive effort previously had will pay off sooner or later
either you have a very large turnover with manny players, or sooner or later, with all these games to play, the price to pay comes..

[giammangiato]

HERE WE GO

Jude Bellingham got suspended for two games by La Liga following his red card in the match against Valencia. He needs to be careful because this isn't the first time he's had disciplinary issues. Bellingham is a talented player, but his behavior could harm his football career if he's not careful. However, this suspension won't affect Real Madrid's chances of winning the league. Whether Bellingham plays or not, Real Madrid is still likely to win. Since the suspension doesn't include Champions League matches, Madrid can feel relieved.

nooo damn, how could this happen? I really like this player, he is really good in my opinion, personal opinion
maybe he got carried away by his emotions, too bad... two whole games jeopardizes his position as first in the scorer rankings

About Real Madrid in La Liga I think it is clear, that Real Madrid has guaranteed to get the La Liga trophy this season. Because after all, in this season that only Real Madrid is the most consistent team compared to otherteams in La Liga and therefore, it is not surprising that Real Madrid has been confirmed to get the La Liga trophy this season . But unfortunately, despite Real Madrid being the best team in La Liga, but I not entirely sure about Real Madrid's chances in the Champions League. Because ya, afterall, eventhough Real Madrid has a goodattacking line but yes, I think Real Madrid still struggles to guarantee victory in the Champions League matches. So, if Real Madrid get opponents like Manchester City, Bayern Muich and maybe also about PSG, it seems that Real Madrid will not get a better chance if Real Madrid play against these teams.

Yes girona is currently starting to slow down and slowly even their position is increasingly threatened by atletico, barcelona and bilbao at this time, girona declining performance this season is indeed none other than due to their depth that is not qualified so that when even one of their core players is injured it will make the team lame, maybe it's natural to see girona slow down like running out of gas like now,  Because before the season started, of course, they didn't make careful preparations like Madrid, Barcelona or other big teams who brought in new players to compete as La Liga champions, but not with Girona, I think at that time they just thought it was realistic to just be able to stay in La Liga without ever targeting the current position let alone winning La Liga which might be just a dream for them.

Without careful preparation, of course it is impossible for existing teams to be able to compete in the league especially for the trophy at the end of the season, as is the case with Girona at this time which is different from Madrid, and even before the season started Madrid had targeted the La Liga champions so they were so intense in bringing in new players to deepen their squad so that it was stable on every line and that is why when Madrid fell far behind Girona on At the beginning of the season they were still able to compete and even now managed to be at the top of the standings.

[Oluwa-btc]

Barcelona's financial problems were the main cause of the club's decline. They do not have enough finances to keep Messi. They don't have enough money to buy themselves the world's top stars. They even have to sell their young stars to make some profit.

For an emerging team like Girona, such achievements are too impressive for a small team. Their players and finances are mediocre compared to the giants in La Liga. If they win this season, I don't know how Laliga giants will be criticized by fans in the press.

Yes, Atletico Madrid is always a stable team, in this tournament they are the only team that dares to compete for the championship with Barcelona and Real Madrid. If Barcelona always has erratic performance, Atletico Madrid surpassing them is unquestionable.

So far this season a new change has been seen, Yes? Girona has dominated, them both lose to Real Madrid during the both fixtures affected them hugely and they couldn't keep up with the pace set up by Real Madrid. But I still do commend them for putting up such a fight to show us strength when everyone thinks they're soft. It's been a great season for Girona even if they fail to win the Spanish League Competition this very season.

For Atletico Madrid, they've also won the league which is impressive to see in the last three to four years in La Liga. Diego Simeone do struggled but when he wants to win, he'll get it.

Barcelona's financial challenges has nothing to do with Lionel Messi leaving. He's left for good and that's final. Only if they really had the finance to back whatever they've got. Xavi Hernandez also shouldn't have lead the club to this state they're currently in.

Ancelotti claims that this is an old story, and that he has already paid the fine. It’s too early to say anything, maybe everything is fine there. I remember how Ronaldo had a similar story with taxes, he was also tried in Spain and then he paid €18.8 million. I think that then Ronaldo became an example for many, and there are few who want to repeat his experience. In addition, Ancelotti now has a good record from Spain, and this is an old story that has been going on for 10 years, but the fine has been paid and the lawyers are handling this case, I don’t think that any additional problems should arise there.

Luckily for Madrid after they only got 1 point Girona lost and Bacelona drew. They still have a considerable points gap from Girona. As for Barcelona, injuries to several key players have weakened them. One of them is Pedri. Xavi seems to be getting happy because Pedri can play against Atlhtic Club but Xavi must also be sad because Pedri and De Jong are injured again. Xavi can't do much this winter transfer season. Because of their poor financial condition.

Real Madrid benefited from the unsatisfactory results achieved by Girona and Barcelona so that the final results at Valencia headquarters did not really affect the results they achieved. The rather large difference in points is still maintained, Real Madrid is still safe at the top of the standings. Barcelona who began to find the best form of the game, had to re -accept the bitter reality due to the injury suffered by its flagship players, the injury suffered by Pedri and De Jong will make Xavi have to make changes to maintain the stability of Barcelona game. Without the presence of Pedri and De Jong will slightly affect Barcelona appearance because these two players play an important role in maintaining the rhythm of the game and they are also very often the creators of attacks.

Barcelona is already a weak team after Messi left them, Barcelona now is full of old players which sooner will retire.

To me, Real Madrid just scoring a point but staying on top due to competitors' mistakes puts the season in perspective. This championship race seems to include luck. Barcelona's injury woes, especially with Pedri, create drama. What a scenario for Xavi. Reuniting with Pedri versus Athletic Club must have been a momentary thrill until injury struck again. I worry about Barcelona's future, especially with financial constraints restricting their transfer market actions. Any team has challenges

Real Madrid's performance has been erratic. That Valencia draw scared them more than I expected. Having Bellingham-caliber talent and missing consistency is puzzling. Ancelotti must work hard to restore the team's form. Madrid must forget past losses and focus on the mental game

I think this is an invention of journalists. Yes, they have some basis, since absolutely any person (who has serious income) is trying to optimize taxes, but most likely they are talking about some small violation/inaccuracy in filing a tax return, etc. I doubt that Ancelotti does not have an accountant and a lawyer to do everything correctly and avoid violations that could lead to serious consequences.

[len01]

I am not going to be talking about Madrid in the league too much again, because I feel they have already won the league title after defeating Girona in the second leg, instead, I am focusing on the Champions League since that is where they will have a difficult time. You can't predict who will win the trophy because anyone is performing well when the Chmapinos League competition is on. Clubs want to play poor games in order to be disqualified from the competition. I like how Madrid played in the second half against Leipzig, their defense when Vini jr scored goals, but Leipzig tried in the match, but Madrid are far superior in the competition.

For La Liga, Madrid can still maintain its position, and I won't worry about threats from Girona and Barcelona for the time being.
On the contrary, I found Madrid's UCL match against Leipzig quite boring. Because in the first half a lot of time was wasted. Madrid's performance today was very difficult if you look at the overall match which makes us a little worried, the formation had 5 midfielders at once and only placed Vinicius alone at the front but in fact Vini was more inclined to be in the left side position so the middle and right positions could not be utilized. Ok, now we have progressed to the next round and the opponents we will face will definitely be even more difficult.

IMO, yesterday's match was not a boring match but it was a very interesting match because both teams attacked each other and ended with a draw.
when you say Vinicius is up front alone, I think that's wrong because he is in the side striker position and is accompanied Bellingham and Valverde.
Indeed, Real Madrid seems to be having difficulty in this match, but it's all because they lack a pure striker and only rely on Vinic or Bellingham, so the winning score is always narrow and threatens Real Madrid success if they continue to only get wins with very narrow scores.
at least Ancelotti has proven that he is successful in taking his team to the next round even though there will be a lot of changes, at least Real Madrid must be able to try to get to the final round in the UCL and in La Liga matches I never doubt because Madrid will continue to appear consistently in La Liga to defend the title this season.

I don't know why so many football observers are seeing many tournaments and leagues to be boring at this period in time, I read also one comment in the Saudi Arabia league thread where a member also mentioned the league to be boring, well let me tell you why some feels the various leagues are boring at this stage, is because of the time because the various leagues have gone pass 70% conclusions which make it clear that some clubs would have given up by now and a situation where Many others are facing various crisis in terms of player's.

Like Real Madrid for example as you rightly said the club lack a good striker to deliver the goals, ever since Bezema left that wife, there have not been any good replacements, which is why the club either settles for draw or lose, this is effecting the club greatly in this season.

I expected Real Madrid to beat Valencia last weekend but surprisingly, they failed to do that and even had to come from a two goals down to get a draw in that particular game but what surprised me more was that the two teams that were supposed to capitalize on Real Madrid's result by winning their respective games failed to to do that. Barcelona and Girona weren't able to win in their Spanish La Liga games of the weekend and that I think is absolutely poor fir both teams who are also trying to catch up with league leaders Real Madrid.

With the results of the weekend in the English Premier League, I think it's now obvious that Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid are definitely going to win the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the season. Speculations have it that Kylian Mbappe have completed 80% of his potential transfer to Real Madrid and would soon be unveiled as a Real Madrid player and that's why I think that Barcelona and Girona's have a better chance of winning the Spanish La Liga title this season than in the coming seasons because with the presence of Kylian Mbappe in the Real Madrid team, it'll be absolutely difficult for other Spanish La Liga clubs to win the league ahead of them
