La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Josefjix]

Even though Girona just got a win against Betis, there is something I regret about this club where they lost their confidence at the end of the season. Maybe those of you who have followed Girona's journey from the start of the season were amazed by what they displayed and it could almost be said that they will win the La Liga title this season.

Football is filled with surprises and I'm not tired of watching the performance of these elite teams moving to the top. Girona have everything to hold unto the energy6 level of Real Madrid but something happen to them along the line, they failed to win or even score a goal against Real Madrid who was their top rival. Girona flopped around and watching them stepping from #1 on the table, they're doing everything to bounce back but it's not working.

I agree that Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg of the quarter-finals, but Manchester City is not the type of team that likes to play defensively in many matches. Manchester City is a team that tends to be more able to control matches with a high percentage of ball possession, so that is an advantage.

Real Madrid must be careful in the first leg, even if they play at home. Manchester City could punish them very cruelly, but I don't want to find that to be true. Ancelotti has plenty of options in midfield and that should help match Manchester City's play, but leading the game from the start is a good plan to hope for. Real Madrid are home favorites in my opinion, but the odds are not that way.

This season is for Real Madrid, they have the players and looking forward to enable more tremendous winnings. Our odds for Real Madrid to win their league is slim because it's gradually becoming clear for the winning. Carlo Ancelotti have instructed him men to flogged without mercy any opponents they face and its considered a straight winning for them. Real Madrid is regarded as the best La Liga club following their credits and superb performance.

Real Madrid is strong enough to win the league this season and they have good stars. Although Real Madrid are many ahead in the La Liga points table this season so they are playing much better in the race for the title this season and the coach and hard worker of Real Madrid is also responsible for making the players work hard. If Real Madrid focus more on La Liga then surely they can win the trophy and with the pressure of Champions League ahead, it may be difficult for them to win the title. If they don't perform well in the Champions League then surely they will play more competitively in La Liga and win the title. And this season, Real Madrid has enough players to win the Champions League and La Liga.

Real Madrid is strong enough to win the league this season and they have good stars. Although Real Madrid are many ahead in the La Liga points table this season so they are playing much better in the race for the title this season and the coach and hard worker of Real Madrid is also responsible for making the players work hard.

Real Madrid are strong and they already created good differences against two competitors Barcelona and Girona. With big differences, 8 points and 10 points, against two competitors, they have easy task to complete and win La Liga. Barcelona will need Real Madrid to lose 3 matches in only last 8 matches and this condition is hard to occur with strength of Real Madrid.

If Real Madrid focus more on La Liga then surely they can win the trophy and with the pressure of Champions League ahead, it may be difficult for them to win the title. If they don't perform well in the Champions League then surely they will play more competitively in La Liga and win the title. And this season, Real Madrid has enough players to win the Champions League and La Liga.

They are still playing in Champions League and will meet one of strongest teams in Europe, Manchester City, in quarter finals. However it will not be reasons that can cause Real Madrid to lose 3 matches in La Liga. Barcelona surely will not give up in La Liga too early but chance for them to flip Real Madrid after all is very small.

If we talk about risk of lack of focus on La Liga, Barcelona have that risk too, not only Real Madrid have it.

One of the tough matches that Real Madrid will face in the remainder of the season is against Barcelona, with the point difference that has already been established, Ancelotti squad is not too worried that its position at the top of the standings will be disturbed. In this way, Ancelotti can prioritize the Champions League for the time being, they can focus fully on competing there, because the pressure in La Liga is no longer too heavy. Barcelona is also in the same situation, Xavi squad will focus more on the Champions League too, because their most realistic target in La Liga is to finish in runner-up position behind Real Madrid.

The competition for the La Liga trophy is mathematically not yet completely over, Barcelona has the potential to re-enter the competition, but this really depends on Real Madrid consistency. Apart from that, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a big chance of advancing to the semifinals of the Champions League this season, which in my opinion, the challenge faced by Barcelona is a little easier than Real Madrid. Meanwhile, next week the point gap in the La Liga standings is unlikely to change, because the two teams will play an easy match against average clubs.

Real Madrid will not perform well in the league because they are already the league champions. Even if they face Barcelona and have the opportunity to defeat Real Madrid, he will not upset the fans because Barcelona cannot win the league anymore. They will simply do well and maintain second place in the league table, because Girona is struggling to overtake Barcelona in the table. And Barcelona has a difficult Champions League match against PSG, who have never won the Champions League before, and they will take Barcelona seriously since Xavi is doing well right now and will give PSG a tough time. And I can't foresee who will I win versus Barcelona and PSG. because both of them are playing well in there league but PSG is the favorite to win the game since some of Barcelona's players are injured and he can affect them in the competition.

Real Madrid will keep on performing well this season because they have not sealed the La Liga title this season. If Real Madrid starts losing matches now in the league, they might allow Barcelona to challenge for the La Liga title this season. If Barcelona beat Real Madrid in their upcoming La Liga match, it would upset Real Madrid fans because Barcelona and Real Madrid are old rivals in the La Liga League.

Girona flopped around and watching them stepping from #1 on the table, they're doing everything to bounce back but it's not working.

The elite teams are just what keeps the traffic in the various league as they have more fans and more big names in the football industry. Girona attempt to join the elite teams this season was a good one that actually surprised many people and if they continue the way they are going, they will surely get it right few seasons from now. They have no big name yet have dared the big boys in the industry, that is something commendable.

Like you rightly said, Girona started reducing when the league got heated up, they could not overcome the pressure so they have to give way for the two giants to pass, just a way of respecting themselves and staying out of troubles. Their next match is against Athletico Madrid, another match they have to give their best if they have to be seen as a serious team.

Girona flopped around and watching them stepping from #1 on the table, they're doing everything to bounce back but it's not working.

At the start of the season we are presented with mediocre clubs who are able to occupy the top of the standings and stay there for quite a long time, competing with elite clubs to occupy the top of the standings. Entering the end of the season we don't know what will happen mediocre clubs may experience difficulties in maintaining their performance because they have given their all since the start of the season. And now Girona is struggling to continue to perform well even though they sometimes lose balance, I'm not sure Girona will end up in 2nd place even though the point difference is small with Barcelona because currently Barcelona has shown consistency and doesn't want to lose its place in the rankings 2 just below Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is a special team since they always try to pick the best players and coach thanks to the good management they have, at the opposite of Barcelona for example where they suffered from bad management and signings..

Real Madrid has always had a good coach and the coach does a good job in terms of strategy and also recruiting players and is good at managing his expenses. Carlo Ancelotti never fails to recruit the players he needs and these players are able to play well at Real Madrid and give maximum performance. Even though Carlo Ancelotti doesn't have a pure striker, in fact he can still make Real Madrid appear strong. So it is natural that Real Madrid is always a club that is feared in the domestic league and also the Champions League because of its ability to paralyze its strong rivals, while Barcelona itself is not good at managing expenses, which causes them problems in finances and also in recruiting players.

Their next match is against Athletico Madrid, another match they have to give their best if they have to be seen as a serious team.

Girona are not an elite club but they are not far from Barcelona that are chasing Real Madrid. I know Girona don't have good chance to chase Real Madrid but they actually are doing well.

They have 7 points and 9 points more than Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club so with 9 points more than a fifth club, Girona actually have good advantage to complete the season in top four. If we look at results of five latest matches, in top five, Girona are the third best team and their results are only worse than Real Madrid and Barcelona. Last five matches, they won three and lost two, good enough in general.

Real Madrid is a special team since they always try to pick the best players and coach thanks to the good management they have, at the opposite of Barcelona for example where they suffered from bad management and signings..

Real Madrid are rich, ready to spend big budget for player transfer and salary but they are smart and act very cleverly on transfer market. See how they sold star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Metsut Ozil, Casemiro, Varane to get good money for their squad rebuilding. Success of Real Madrid on transfer market is very different than failure of Barcelona over years.

[Gallar]

This season is for Real Madrid, they have the players and looking forward to enable more tremendous winnings. Our odds for Real Madrid to win their league is slim because it's gradually becoming clear for the winning. Carlo Ancelotti have instructed him men to flogged without mercy any opponents they face and its considered a straight winning for them. Real Madrid is regarded as the best La Liga club following their credits and superb performance.

Yes, it would not be wrong to call Real Madrid the best team in La Liga. Because currently Real Madrid is still at the top of the standings, and of course this position will be difficult for any team to shift, including a team like Barcelona too. Apart from that, in the Champions League, Real Madrid also managed to advance to the quarter-finals. So this season, Real Madrid would not be wrong if they were called the best team in Laliga.
And in the upcoming match, Real Madrid must prepare to play the Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City in the first leg. Maybe Real Madrid will get a big advantage in this first leg. The reason is that Real Madrid will host Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu, or be the host for this match (first leg). So I hope Real Madrid can achieve satisfactory results in this first leg. Because playing at home should be an opportunity to win on for Real Madrid. Because if for example Real Madrid cannot win against Manchester City at home (lose or draw). Maybe it will be the same as last season's Champions League.

The reason is that in last year's UCL match, Real Madrid also played against Manchester City, but the difference was not in the quarter-finals but in the semifinals. And the result was that Real Madrid only drew in the first leg. Even though in the first leg Real Madrid played at home. And in the end, in the second leg, Real Madrid lost when they visited Manchester City headquarters. Therefore, I hope that in this first leg Real Madrid can win the match. Because this will have a big influence on the second leg later. So, if for example in the first leg Real Madrid wins and is definitely ahead on aggregate, you can be sure that in the second leg when Real Madrid visits Manchester City's headquarters the pressure will most likely not be too great.

The narrow victory in the away match against Granada made Valencia move up one place to 7th in the standings and closer to one of the European competition zones. I think it was a worthy win, especially since Valencia has made gradual improvements this season and the results are as we can see, they haven't experienced a single decline since the start of the season.

Coach Rubén Baraja seems to be the figure that Valencia needs this season and when compared to previous coaches, we will often see Valencia fighting with other teams at the bottom of the table. To be honest, I have long missed the era of revival of one of the big teams in La Liga and I want to see it go even further next season and be able to compete in the race for the top four in the standings.

As long as Peter Lim remains the owner of Valencia, they are not going to achieve anything significant. Forget about the Valencia of 20 years ago, it was a team that grew at the dawn of the real estate bubble, and since it burst, it hasn't raised its head. For example, the supposed new stadium that started to be built in 2007 and was stopped in 2009, still looks like this:



Valencia is condemned for many years to be a mid-table team.

[Solokan]

Yes indeed, basically Real Madrid can still be considered to be able to win and qualify for the semifinals because indeed, the factor of a safe position in the La Liga standings makes Real Madrid will be able to havegood preparation to play against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter finals.Because ofcourse, even though Barcelona for example is able to maintain its consistency by getting consecutive wins in La Liga but still, Real Madrid also still has the ability to be able to maintain its position at the top of the La Liga standings. Therefore, at least at this moment that Real Madrid can still be considered to continue to get goodresults in La Liga and also in the Champions League .But indeed,sometimes bad luck can happen at any time, so Real Madrid's chances in the Champions League may still not be able to fully guarantee to get good results as expected.

Indeed, the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League is being hotly discussed because there are so many Real Madrid supporters and also so many Manchester City supporters and now in La Liga, Real Madrid's position is indeed safe because the point difference with Barcelona is so far but in this case it is their fate bad luck for a team can happen at any time.

However, I am sure that Ancelotti's ability has always been good in providing direction to his subordinates, so far Real Madrid has successfully led the LaLiga standings and has also entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League and this is extraordinary.

Yes, mentally, Real Madrid will definitely be calm with the current results and achievements in La Liga and will definitely be enthusiastic when they compete in the Champions League against Manchester City. but of course it is not easy to beat Guardiola's troops because their strength is currently good. and in the last meeting between Manchester City and Madrid in the Champions League last season, Madrid lost, so Madrid's quarter-final match against Manchester City will definitely be exciting.

Girona flopped around and watching them stepping from #1 on the table, they're doing everything to bounce back but it's not working.

But even though Girona did not manage to maintain their top position at that time. But still, the achievements shown by Girona this season are truly extraordinary. They are an ordinary team that surprised all the top teams in Laliga. Even strong teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also lost to Girona this season. And only Real Madrid made Girona difficult and suffered defeat in their two meetings this season. At least we can be more optimistic about seeing Girona in the UCL next season. because it seems that Girona, which is currently ranked 3rd, can also be said to be quite safe. Because they have a point difference with Atletico Madrid of 7 points. And maybe there are only two more matches where Girona will potentially lose points, namely the second meeting against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Because these two teams lost the meeting at the start of the season. then they will definitely get revenge in the second meeting at the end of this season.

[Solokan]

Their rich history and winning culture makes them ready to compete in any circumstance. They face each game with the same mindset even when the opponents are much weaker teams. The fact that most of their players are young with great talent, they have already been showing their capability to compete at high level. This proves that they will stay strong in the future.

Real Madrid is a special team since they always try to pick the best players and coach thanks to the good management they have, at the opposite of Barcelona for example where they suffered from bad management and signings..
Real Madrid good victory against Athletic Bilbao were something impressive with 2 goals to 0.. This could boost the team and make them continue winning.

Yes, the greatness of Ancelotti's troops is beyond doubt and up to this season Real Madrid is still very good and Real Madrid is very good at choosing players and last season Real Madrid was only able to reach 2nd place in La Liga, but this season Real Madrid has proven it. that they deserve to be champions this season.

Yes, Madrid's match against Bilbao was a lucky match for Madrid because Madrid managed to win the match and I agree with you that the score of 2-0 against Bilbao is a good score for Madrid to win.

In my opinion, Barcelona this season is experiencing a decline in performance, of course it is different from last season, but I personally see that Barcelona is a strong team and has a good coach like Xavi

However, I also agree with you that Madrid has the potential to continue to perform well in the future, especially if Mbappe joins next season to defend Madrid then Madrid's strength will definitely be better.

[Velvet78]

There are Cadiz - Barcelona and Mallorca - Real Madrid games regarding the 'title race' next week. These games are both between Champions League legs for both favourite sides here. I feel like one of these favourites will stumble in their game but which one?    I feel like it might be Barcelona while Cadiz are on the verge of the relegation zone.

It feels a bit weird since some analysis suggest Simeone has evolved, and Atletico Madrid is not as defensive as they were in the past. They still use the same principle though, but some suggest they're trying to build from the back and let a striker chase the ball more often[1]. I mean, they managed to be quite productive even though they switched to a traditionally defensive formation, which people conclude happened because the attacking phase becomes more fluid with the formation change[2]. I think the defensive image stuck to him even though he evolve his tactics every season. CMIIW.

Yeah it absolutely feels weird when you explain it like that. Because Atletico Madrid really don't make me feel like they have made progress this season, at least in the La Liga.

But when it comes to the Champions League there is a huge progress compared to the previous season that's for sure.

Girona flopped around and watching them stepping from #1 on the table, they're doing everything to bounce back but it's not working.

Indeed, currently Girona is in third place with a difference of two points from Barcelona in second place in the standings. However, Girona's journey this season has been truly sensational and surprised the top La Liga teams at the start of the season, they were able to stay at the top of the standings for a long time, even though in the end they lost concentration in several matches, especially when they lost to Real Madrid.

However, Girona's current achievements are commendable, they have made the league even more interesting and of course next season they will play in the Champions League with 8 matches remaining. I think they can maintain their top four ranking until the end of the season. Girona deserve their current achievements because they are playing very, very well and effectively.

[Docnaster]

Currently in the Spanish La Liga standings, Real Madrid is leading by 8 points ahead of second placed Barcelona which means that they still have a good number of points difference that'll give them the needed confidence to face Manchester City in their UEFA Champions League quarter final tie. Real Madrid have been very consistent with their results this season in the league and facing a Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid will come out victorious in that tie. Manchester City last season eliminated Real Madrid in the semi finals of the competition last season and that's because they had a more formidable team if you ask me but that I don't think is the case this season when we consider the quality of football the two teams have been able to display this season. Real Madrid were able to sign a high profile midfielder in Jude Bellingham last summer whose significant effects on the team was felt immediately he arrived and have been very influential this season so with the help of Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid will win the UEFA Champions League.

In my opinion, Barcelona this season is experiencing a decline in performance, of course it is different from last season, but I personally see that Barcelona is a strong team and has a good coach like Xavi

However, I also agree with you that Madrid has the potential to continue to perform well in the future, especially if Mbappe joins next season to defend Madrid then Madrid's strength will definitely be better.

The decline in the performance of a team is a natural thing including Barcelona, but I don't see if the decline in performance affects Barcelona too much at this time, last season they could win La Liga by only relying on makeshift players, while this season they did fail to win La Liga but they are still in rank 2 to compete with Real Madrid,  In addition, if you look at the problems that have befallen Barcelona so far, of course we cannot say Madrid is at a greater level than Barcelona because after all, in my opinion, Barcelona is able to survive and compete well even though they are actually close to bankruptcy due to financial problems.

When a team like Madrid is supported by strong finances of course it is not difficult for them to build a squad quite well, so far we know the competition in La Liga is nothing more between Barcelona and Madrid, although sometimes teams like Atletico Madrid and Girona appear but I think it is only a small increase in excitement for Barcelona and Madrid so far,  Because basically the competition still occurs between Barcelona and Madrid in the competition for the Trophy, so when Barcelona is currently no longer able to build their team like before, wouldn't it be without Mbappe that Madrid would still be able to be good and perform strongly in La Liga later?

[hyudien]

We already have 2 names to be relegated this season, the first is Almeria and the second is Granada, in my opinion they are certain that they will not be able to survive in La Liga next season. We only need to look for 1 more team to be relegated this season and if we look at the current position we can see Cadiz is in that position, but their distance from the other teams is still quite close so they still have a very big chance of staying in La Liga.
Celta Vigo is the closest team to Cadiz, they are only 3 points away which means it could be the same points in just one match as long as Celta Vigo loses and Cadiz wins. Celta Vigo is really under a very real threat now, they must be able to ensure that they can maintain their current position in order to survive in La Liga. One mistake they make will put them in a very bad situation because it is very possible for Cadiz to catch their points considering that there is still enough match left to do that.

pressure is so great that it makes it difficult for Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid and actually, even though I am not a Barcelona fan, seeing the current condition is very sad starting from Gavi who is injured and De Jong is also injured, making his performance irregular but Xavi is a great coach able to control Barcelona to remain in the runner up position.
from here we know how the pressure this season is very different from last season and this season Barcelona has extraordinary pressure on injured players and for me if I only get runner up that is a very good result.
next, Barcelona will face a big problem in the coming season when Xavi wants to resign from Barcelona and that's when Barcelona will be very difficult because only Xavi is able to control Barcelona performance with only the existing players.

[Litzki1990]

-snip-

Manchester City will defend when playing moderately and will take advantage of the second leg which will be played at home and this is inversely proportional to Real Madrid so of course Real Madrid's chances will be very big in this first leg.
If you look at the strength, Real Madrid has also improved a lot this season, so there is a very big possibility that they can win the match.

I agree that Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg of the quarter-finals, but Manchester City is not the type of team that likes to play defensively in many matches. Manchester City is a team that tends to be more able to control matches with a high percentage of ball possession, so that is an advantage.

Real Madrid must be careful in the first leg, even if they play at home. Manchester City could punish them very cruelly, but I don't want to find that to be true. Ancelotti has plenty of options in midfield and that should help match Manchester City's play, but leading the game from the start is a good plan to hope for. Real Madrid are home favorites in my opinion, but the odds are not that way.

Manchester City's opponent Real Madrid and Real Madrid's opponent Manchester City in this case, the two teams must be careful enough and be careful enough to keep their defense safe first and then plan to attack. Manchester City and Real Madrid are two consistent and professional teams, in which case these two teams can lose in the home matches of the two teams as well as win in the home field of the other team. There is no reason to think that whoever plays at their home venue will win. 

Manchester City and Real Madrid are good enough on the counter attack that any team can score at any time against any team if the formation is wrong. Since both the teams have experienced managers, they will surely apply their full strategy to win against each other.
