La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[snipie]

In the next match, Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid. This may still be quite challenging. Because even though Atletico Madrid are not in their best position, that doesn't mean they are easy to overcome. Xavi must be able to take advantage of all available opportunities so that Barcelona can excel.
While on the other hand, Girona will face Getafe, they should win this match, actually.

Atletico Madrid know very well that a defeat could cost them their position and the last spot for UEFA Champions League next season since they have only two goals difference between them and Athletic Bilbao and the latter will face Alaves which is weaker than them.
Real Madrid and Girona have easy games too comparing to Barcelona - Atletico Madrid one so both these teams need a victory to secure its position and advance eventually. Odds are right now in favour of Atletico Madrid partially because they are playing home.

Girona needs to perform better. Currently now Barcelona and Girona played the same amount of matches. And Girona was just able to get ahead of them by winning the last match. Girona also will have to win the next match if they want to stay in the second position. They have to understand that Barcelona is the real competition right now. Because Real Madrid has gone ahead a little too much to catch up. Barcelona on 61 points and have played 28 matches. Girona on 62 points and have played 28 matches. But looking at the next opponent of Girona, I think they should be able to win the next one even though they are not in the best form.

Girona has been falling behind recently and even Barcelona is already catching up with them because currently, Barcelona is just one point away from Girona and the battle is now between girona and Barcelona and they both won their last matches and for the second position it will now be between Girona or Barcelona and Girona is trying and since there next game might cost there position then they won't want to joke with there opponent and Madrid was smart enough to have added enough point and as far as they do not lose any game then they are good to go and madrid have at least 80 percent chances of winning. they already know their faith here compared to the Champions League.

Barcelona are not chasing in the league table anymore, since they have know there faith that they can't win the league trophy anymore is just that they will just maintain the third position in the league so that they will get the opportunity to qualify to champions league next season. They are only focusing on the Champions League right now because they know they still have a chance to win the trophy because they are still in the competition. Some of Barcelona's players are injured, which may affect them against Athletico Madrid but even when Barcelona is not in good shape, you will remember that they used to get the chance and defeat them, and I believe they will repeat that history.

Athletico Madrid is playing weak games now; they are not performing as well as they did when the season began, defeating big clubs. Let's see what Barcelona will do against Athletico Madrid after winning their match against Napoli this night, they will still have motivation in the league to defeat Athletico Madrid but Athletico are playingat home and they can get home advantage and get the opportunity and win Barcelona in the match. Since Madrid defeated Girona in the second leg, I have noticed that they are no longer performing well in the league.

Real Madrid and Girona have easy games too comparing to Barcelona - Atletico Madrid one so both these teams need a victory to secure its position and advance eventually. Odds are right now in favour of Atletico Madrid partially because they are playing home.

It wouldn't cost them their position just yet as they still have to play against Athtletic Bilbao and the good news for Atletico is that they play all the game against Barcelona, Girona and Bilbao at home. It would give them a much better position of course if they don't lose the game against Barcelona or in a best case scenario win it, but ok. They'll know that at least as good as I do.

In the semifinal of the Copa del Rey, Bilbao beat Atletico 4-0 in aggregate, 3-0 at home and 1-0 in Madrid, which means that this is certainly not a safe strategy to trust in winning the game against Bilbao if they now fall behind in case of a loss against Barcelona.

They are only focusing on the Champions League right now because they know they still have a chance to win the trophy because they are still in the competition.

Yes, they are quite aware of this. They will not be able to chase the La Liga title again this season. The points are quite far apart and there are not enough matches left. what they can try to do in La Liga is to immediately take over Girona's position in second position. So after all, they are still below Real Madrid.

They are definitely starting to focus more on UCL now.
Barcelona won the match against Napoli in round 16. In the second leg, Barcelona was ahead 3 - 1 from Napoli. So they have the right to advance to the next round. This is definitely not getting easier. However, this remains the dream of every club to continue fighting. And it is possible that they will still advance to the next round. It's just a matter of which club that will be his opponent later in the next round.

Scoring the first goal thanks to 20-year-old Fermin Lopez, Barcelona used this advantage very well. After Lewandowski's last goal, Napoli's hopes were already over. It was good for Barcelona to pass the round, but who they will match with in the next round will be important for the UCL. Barcelona may rotate in the league for those 2 matches.

[youdacapt]

Barcelona are not chasing in the league table anymore, .

Well there are over 7 leagues games left to play and it is too early to say that Barcelona are out of the title race in the la Liga, because in football; nothing is impossible. The question should be after Barcelona win to advance to the champions league quarter finals, can they mount a late league challenge

At least the victory against Napoli proves that Barcelona still has the enthusiasm to play and is capable of fighting a team as strong as Napoli. Fortunately, Robert Lewandowski managed to score the final goal in the 83rd minute which meant that Napoli could no longer chase victory because the points were too far away. In La Liga, Barcelona still has the potential to take first place by getting three wins in the upcoming matches.

The points are quite far apart and there are not enough matches left. what they can try to do in La Liga is to immediately take over Girona's position in second position. So after all, they are still below Real Madrid.

After four years, Barcelona finds itself once again in the Champions League quarterfinals. This time, they successfully defeated Napoli with a score of three goals to one, demonstrating their readiness for this year's Champions League. However, their performance in La Liga hasn't been as impressive, with Girona currently ahead of them and Real Madrid even further ahead. Barcelona seems to be putting in more effort in the Champions League than in La Liga.

I believe that if Napoli had been wise enough to protect the interests of players like Osimhen, they could have achieved much more. Osimhen is an unsung hero for Napoli, consistently showcasing his capabilities. Even in the first leg against Barcelona, he scored a goal, alongside Lewandowski, resulting in a 1-1 draw. he also demonstrated his capacity during the African Nations Cup, leading his team to the finals. However, Osimhen was not given the recognition he deserved by Napoli instead, it was awarded to Ivara. This highlights the importance for managers to prioritize talent and performance over tribal or ethnic considerations.

Despite the challenges, congratulations to Barcelona for their achievement tonight in advancing to the quarterfinals.

I'm curious how many believe Barcelona still has a chance to overtake Girona for second place. Although I am aware of Barcelona's excellent performance, they will not be able to pass for first place. However, as of right now, Girona's performance is considerably different from Barcelona's. There is no possibility in which Barcelona can have those opportunities to finish in second place. Real Madrid and Girona are currently now in the same point, which i have doubt that Girona can overtake Real Madrid because I'm very sure Girona will perform well in their upcoming game, which they should win handily to move up to the top.

In my opinion, there are still many people who speculate that Barcelona still has a big chance of overtaking Girona because the difference in points between Barcelona and Girona is only 1 point, so it is very easy for Barcelona to overtake Girona if Girona loses or draws, that is if they are fighting for second place, but to be in first place is very difficult for Barcelona at the moment because they are already quite far behind Real Madrid. The only thing Barcelona can fight for is the runner up side to maintain Barcelona's good name because last season they won the title so to be in the rankings. 2 in my opinion is not too bad considering Barcelona's current condition.

Why do you seem to doubt Barcelona's potential to be in 2nd place? even though as we now know, Barcelona still has a very big chance, indeed Girona's performance is impressive this season but I don't think Girona's performance can last until the end of the season. Just look at the current Girona has lost a lot of points and its position is currently threatened in the rankings 2 because sooner or later Barcelona will take over that position because Barcelona has recently appeared more consistent than Girona, in fact I doubt Girona will stay in 2nd place but for the champions league place it looks like he can still get it.

[Solokan]

Will Barcelona be able to get ahead of Girona? I think it is possible. I believe right now Barcelona is performing well compared to Girona. And at the same time, Girona has dropped off a lot in terms of performance. Girona has three losses in the last 5 Matches and Barcelona has none. Girona does have some easier matches coming up. 

Yes, Barcelona looks like they will be able to out perform Girona because judging from the match, of course Barcelona is superior, whereas if Girona looks at their performance, it always fluctuates, so I agree with you that Barcelona has great potential to outperform Girona and like Barcelona's match against Bilbao, the result was a 0-0 draw, but during the match Girona against Bilbao Girona lost with a score of 3-2 so in this case Xavi's troops certainly have great potential to out perform Girona.
and the this day Barcelona also managed to beat Napoli in the Champions League and I saw Barcelona's performance was good.

Girona will indeed face some easier matches and Girona will next face Getafe and it looks like Girona has the potential to win but of course we won't know what the results will be because the results of Girona's matches are very difficult to predict because sometimes Girona can draw against a weak team like formerly against Almeria.

However, Barcelona's next match will be against Atletico Madrid, of course it will not be an easy match for Barcelona, ​​but of course this is a big challenge for Xavi.

In my personal opinion, this week the team that is under the most pressure in the top 5 is Atletico Madrid. The reason is, Atletico Madrid will most likely have difficulty maintaining its position in 4th place. Even though Atletico Madrid is playing at home, Atletico Madrid will still be under enormous pressure if they lose to Barcelona. Therefore, I think Atletico Madrid will be under a lot of pressure this week compared to the other 4 clubs.

Different from the other 4 clubs, for example Barcelona. If Barcelona is defeated by Atletico Madrid, then their position in 3rd place will not be shifted and Barcelona will still be safe competing for tickets to UEFA. Another example of a club is Girona, even though they lost to Getafe, Girona will definitely still be safe competing for tickets to UEFA. Because at best Girona will only drop to 3rd place. For this reason, other clubs in the top 5 of La Liga have a safer position compared to Atletico Madrid.

Because Atletico Madrid will definitely be very stressed, because in their match with Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid must win the match.

They really made the best use of the home game they had and of course this victory was quite an impressive victory because Napoli seemed unable to follow or keep up with the game dominated by Barcelona.
3 - 1 was the final result of this match and Lewandowski still plays role as player who can be the most dominant contributor for Barcelona, but in the future they will face much more difficult match.
Napoli are eliminated and Barcelona will advance to the last 8 by facing much stronger team, I not sure Barcelona will be able to survive the last 8 so it is very likely that the last 8 is Barcelona last place in the UCL competition this season.
They are in an impossible condition, there are several obstacles that occur such as player crisis and of course this has big influence on Barcelona development in completing competition in every competition.
For La Liga alone, they only have the chance to become runners-up if they succeed in overthrowing Girona.

Yes, of course Barcelona can easily beat Napoli with a bad performance. In fact, I see that Napoli really has difficulty competing against Barcelona, even though Napoli dominates possession of the ball, but actually Barcelona has greater control of the attack.
Barcelona didn't attack very often but every time Napoli made a mistake, Barcelona troops attacked very aggressively and produced 3 winning scores to qualify.
A pretty good result of getting 3 points with the existing players and talking about whether Barca will be successful or not in the last 8, it all depends on who the opponent will be and if Barca gets against Inter or another strong club I'm sure Barca chances are very small but if they get against Arsenal or Dortmund may still have hope even though the chances are very small.

[Egii Nna]

Yeah, it's still possible. Let's see the point.

Only 1 point as the difference.
So, it's very possible to take over each other. It will depend on how their performance in the next matches that will be also  still challenging.

Girona and Barcelona have very closely total points and goal differences. Their positions in La Liga will be decided by very mild difference when the season completes, I really believe so.

There are still quite a lot of possibilities for changing the positions of the two clubs. But fortunately, it is second and third place, so at least they will still enter the UCL qualifiers. but on the other hand, this might be quite prestigious for Barcelona if it were under Girona. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Girona is definitely more relaxed in their positioning. What's important now is how to keep them winning and not have to worry too much about their players.

In the next match, Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid. This may still be quite challenging. Because even though Atletico Madrid are not in their best position, that doesn't mean they are easy to overcome. Xavi must be able to take advantage of all available opportunities so that Barcelona can excel.
While on the other hand, Girona will face Getafe, they should win this match, actually.

Everyone knows that Girona has the chances of gaining more points than Barcelona, but seeing them just a point ahead of Barcelona makes Girona surely in a stage of trait because Barcelona will still try to be second in the table just because they don’t like to be seen blowing Girona. Which is depending on the performance of the team, and I know Xavi will surely plan for them to be above Girona this season. Even though we know they will also be included in the quarterfinals, they still need that position of second or even first in the table.
 
Seeing that Girona will have more chances to play with a less strong team than them in the next most upcoming game, it is more likely that Girona has a golden opportunity than Barcelona, if truly Girona wants to maintain their present position, but that doesn’t mean that Girona will definitely win all those games because their performance is not more stable, and if it continues like that, no one will still have much hope in Girona this season.

Real Madrid and Girona are currently now in the same point, which i have doubt that Girona can overtake Real Madrid because I'm very sure Girona will perform well in their upcoming game, which they should win handily to move up to the top.

Girona is only one point ahead of Barcelona and La Liga still has ten games remaining, a change in position is still possible in that time period. Being one point behind Girona is not difficult for Barcelona to move up to second place, I still believe Barcelona is able to shift Girona's position. but it is very difficult for Barcelona to catch up with Real Madrid's points, which is very consistent in maintaining its performance.
Barcelona and Girona will also face each other in week 34, the results of this match will really determine who will be runner up. Girona only needs to maintain their performance if they want to appear in the Champions League next season. Being in the top four is a good achievement for Girona even though they failed to become champions or finished in second place.

Based on what I saw in the champion league round of 16 match, made me to believed that Barcelona will take over that position from Girona soon because the way they played Napoli in the second leg to defeated Napoli 3-1 at the end of the match, showed that Barcelona manager has corrected those errors that is making the team not to perform well. The gap Real Madrid is using to gap Barcelona make people to know that what happened last season for Barcelona to win the title, Real Madrid will not allow it to happen in this season because they have position themselves very well in this season to maintain that position till the end of the tournament.  I think, Girona will definitely embrace top four in this la Liga league competition because they are still in a good position that will make them to qualify for next season.

Barcelona clearly doesn't want their struggle to end here, they want to prove that their potential is still good to beat Napoli. As we know, Napoli is currently in an unstable condition in the league, so it provides a good opportunity for Barcelona. Whatever Barcelona does this time makes its fans very happy because it has given them confidence that Barcelona is still a strong team even though they are struggling. I think in La Liga I doubt that Barcelona could be in first place by only winning 3 matches if it wasn't accompanied by Madrid's defeat because Barcelona is already quite far behind.

[bering]

Valencia has been experience big change this season because they can playing more consistent under new manager and currently Valencia has 40 points from 27 matches which mean they still have 1 postponed match so assuming Valencia can collect 3 points from that match then they will have 43 points maximum and Valencia recent records also very impressive because from 11 matches in Laliga Valencia only lost twice and they also can stole points from Barcelona and Real Madrid and even Valencia can beat tough team Bilbao so i don't think Valencia can be underestimate even they potentially can joined with Betis and Sociedad for Europa League spots

This weekend Valencia will playing against Villarreal and if we see based on meeting statistics indeed Villarreal is strong opponent for them but i think currently will be so different because Valencia has successfully to improved their performance moreover Villarreal performance also is not really good compared to last season so i think Valencia have a good chance to beat Villarreal and collect 3 points from this match and Hugo Duro has appears as the most dangerous player from Valencia because this season he has found his top performance again and Hugo Duro status currently as Valencia top scorer with 12 goals in Laliga

Valencia has indeed had positive changes in their squad. And I was previously unaware of the positive changes that had occurred at the Valencia club. Because all this time I thought that Valencia was just getting luckier this season. But after I saw Valencia able to hold Real Madrid to a draw I started to be interested in this team. Even at that time Valencia was able to score 2 goals in the first half against Real Madrid. But I started to have doubts about Valencia again when they struggled to beat Getafe last week. So for the match against Villareal, I think Valencia will also experience the same difficulties as when facing Getafe.

So for the Villareal vs Valencia match, I am sure that I will favor Villareal. Because in the last few weeks we can also see that Villareal has made improvements that are no less good than Valencia. Villareal has even managed to beat Real Betis and Real Sociedad. But if you look at the strength level based on standings, it is true that Valencia can be more reliable. Because Valencia currently has a much better ranking than Villareal. But I have a prediction that Villareal will improve at the end of this season.

Barcelona can comfortably win their match in the Champions League and successfully place themselves in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League. They appeared to attack from the start and actually we could have predicted that considering their profits were greater than Napoli. It didn't take them long, because in just less than 20 minutes they were able to score 2 goals to put them ahead. Napoli tried to respond and their efforts only resulted in 1 goal in the 30th minute and the first half ended with the score 2-1.
In the second half Barcelona did not relax their attacks, they knew that if they relaxed the intensity of their play Napoli could take advantage of it to turn things around. The second half was tighter before Lewandowski finally closed the match with a goal in the 83rd minute. The goal he scored made it even more difficult for Naplo to equalize and it could be said to be the goal that ended the match. Congratulations to them, but their task will be even harder.

Barcelona managed to win the second leg match against Napoli with a score of 3-1 and I think that is very normal and cannot be a benchmark so we cannot take this too seriously because Napoli is a team that is quite down this season so it looks easy for Barcelona.

It must be said that Barcelona's performance has improved in the last few matches, but to be able to catch Real Madrid at the top of the standings, I think it is very difficult, although mathematically it is still possible, but it is impossible for Barcelona to continue to face Real Madrid, which currently has strong strength and will fall in several matches.
