La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Dzigie]

A big competition is going to happen between Barcelona and Girona. Girona is only two points behind Barcelona. And both of them have a match against each other. They are going to fight for the second position. I believe for both of the teams it actually means something to be the runner-up of the La Liga competition. For Barcelona, it means having some pride in finishing in the second position. For Girona, I believe finishing on the first three positions is already a big improvement. But finishing in the second position and finishing above Barcelona is something of an achievement in itself. But they will also have to win the other matches that are left for them. I don’t know if Girona will be able to be so consistent at this stage.

Barcelona are finishing this season with a huge disappointment. They have failed to compete with Real Madrid this season. If they lose to Girona and finish third in the league, it will surely be an even bigger disappointment for them.

Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in their last league game, but before that, they had won consecutive games. We can say that they have been getting consistent results in recent weeks. Girona have been getting inconsistent results in recent weeks. I think Barcelona will finish second in the league but I don't think this result will make Barcelona fans happy. Every season without Barcelona as champions is a nightmare for them.

Alaves secured all three points at home against Atletico Madrid, that was brutal reply from them. Atletico Madrid had a tough week and suffered a disappointing loss against Alaves. Diego Simeone's team seemed to still be affected by their previous Champions League defeat. They don't seem focused when playing away games. However, Alaves' important victory is shaking up the La Liga standings. While Diego Simeone's side may struggle to catch Girona, they face a tough battle to secure a top-four finish this season.

They are only 3 points ahead of the athletics club in fifth place. This means one defeat and Atletico Madrid will be overtaken by Athletic Club if they win. This will be a difficult time for Atletico Madrid. The defeat against Alaves was beyond my expectations. I think this will expose their weaknesses. I looked at the match schedule and it turns out Atletico Madrid will meet Athletic Club this week. This will be a very interesting match because both teams have their own motivation to win. If Atletico Madrid wins they will secure fourth place with a difference of 6 points. If Athletic Club wins, they will move Atletico Madrid to fourth place due to goal difference.

Girona are not performing like before anymore, I think Barcelona will have the chance and death Girona because Barcelona are better than them currently and they won't try to lose the second leg against them, even if Barcelona didn't win the match, he can be a draw game but he will be very difficult if not Barcelona win and end up in the second position in the league table, but Girona can get more advantaged than Barcelona because they are playing at home and they won't like to lose at home.

Even though Girona did not win the match, I am happy because Girona will play in the Champions League next season and I am very sure they will buy some new players that will make the team stronger to perform very well in the competition, because I don't like Athletico Madrid are not impressing in the Champions League. Even in the league they will be performing well when the season starts but when it comes to the end, they will put more effort and will be playing weak games that will I did not anticipate Athletico Madrid would lose to Alaves last Saturday. Barcelona will not attempt to lose against Girona because it would be a shame for great teams like Barcelona to end in third place in the league.

as a team competing at home, Girona still has a big chance of winning the match against Barcelona, but currently Girona is experiencing a decline in performance since top teams like Barcelona and several popular teams have returned to focusing on La Liga matches because they no longer have a schedule at UCL.
In the upcoming match, Barcelona could win the match even though the previous meeting was defeated by Girona at home, but at that time Barcelona was preparing to compete in the UCL so it was natural to lose.
betting on BTTS is one of the benefits that is not too big of a risk or betting on Asian total 2.5 is the best option.

Barcelona's player, Frenkie de Jong is injured and Xavi couldn't see this player correctly. But Frenkie de Jong had a good performance in Barcelona when he was playing for his team, he was the key player and the performance of Frenkie de Jong made Barcelona win some games they couldn't win without this player.
Now it seems some teams are linked to Frenkie de Jong and they want to send offers to have Frenkie de Jong in the next season.
He had an offer from Manchester United before and now Bayern Munich sent him an offer. But Barcelona wants to get 50 60 million euros for Frenkie de Jong.

Meanwhile, when Real Madrid won the El Clasico match, their city rivals, Atletico, actually lost to Alaves. I didn't think that Atletico would be this easy to beat, especially with a score of 2-0, I think it's quite embarrassing. Atletico should have been able to reply to the goal or better yet turn things around but unfortunately Diego Simione's squad had to fall with this less than good result.

The match was very tough where there were a total of 8 yellow cards that had to be issued by the referee to each player from both teams. Of course Alaves will not allow Atletico to break into their goal and this result makes Alaves move away from the relegation zone and Atletico can only sit in a big position and will not be able to catch Girona.

Alaves secured all three points at home against Atletico Madrid, that was brutal reply from them. Atletico Madrid had a tough week and suffered a disappointing loss against Alaves. Diego Simeone's team seemed to still be affected by their previous Champions League defeat. They don't seem focused when playing away games.

With this win, Alaves climbed up from the relegation zone. Atletico Madrid remains on 61 points and Athletic Bilbao is on 58 points. They are playing back to back and Athletic Bilbao will not want to miss this opportunity to be in the top four of the league. They will try to win every match and they should use their hopes again in the best way with this surprise defeat of Atletico Madrid.

[skarais]

Nooo man so sad that bet, losing it for that match makes me feel like shit.

But one thing caught me, really the odds before the match was 1.85 for Atletico Madrid? Seems really high, and i have to say if i see it i also gonna take that bet.

Simeone needs to rebuild all the team, is gonna be a really shaking market this one for them.

Atletico Madrid basically performed well in that match, but their defensive concentration was disturbed and Alaves took advantage of it. Atletico Madrid had a big chance of winning in their away match, but Alaves actually hurt them with 2 goals without reply. However, Atletico Madrid's defeat to Alaves did not really threaten its chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League because in fact Bilbao also failed to win.

Diego Simeone certainly needs to increase the depth of his squad next season and they have to compete closely every season with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid is one of the best in La Liga, but they always find it difficult to stop the dominance of two other giants who have so far won more titles than them.

But finishing in the second position and finishing above Barcelona is something of an achievement in itself. But they will also have to win the other matches that are left for them. I don’t know if Girona will be able to be so consistent at this stage.

Why do you think Girona will have the balls to dethrone Barcelona from where they are sited right now? Not like they have been playing with good outcome consistently, they have been playing irregular matches, they lose one and win this next one but Barcelona has been on winning streak except for their last two matches which is the Champions League they got kicked out from and El classico and we can't deny how difficult that has is always between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

If I'm Girona, I will be focus on staying above Atletico Madrid until the end of the season to have a feature in the next Champions League and the coach should get new players because next season is going to be a lot of extra work because they can't go far with the Champions League the way they are playing right now.

Atletico Madrid were basically able to dominate the match well, they also had many opportunities to score goals. But unfortunately none of these opportunities were converted into goals even though I actually hope they can find a goal before the match ends. There was huge disappointment after Atletico Madrid lost to Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, perhaps that has affected them in the La Liga games as well.

Atletico Madrid so far still has a 3 point gap with Bilbao who drew 1-1 against Granada at the weekend. Of course it will be a big threat for Atletico Madrid if they lose points again in the remainder of the season, but of course if Bilbao can win more wins than Atletico Madrid.

It doesn't mean anything, I mean if they are only able to control possession of the ball but in the match they are not able to score a goal, of course it is very wasteful. Sometimes teams perform better on the field but at the same time they have difficulty scoring goals and that is what Atletico Madrid experienced when facing Alaves. Atletico Madrid must be able to quickly improve their performance in the next match because their points tally with Bilbao is getting closer, so Atletico Madrid needs to come back to winning ways to secure a ranking in the top 4.

For Alaves, of course 3 points means a lot to them because they want to improve their position in the standings. Alaves wanted to widen the points gap with the teams in the relegation zone and they succeeded in doing that in the match against Atletico Madrid. At the end of the season, the teams in the bottom zone of the standings will play better in order to secure their place to stay in Laliga next season.

Xavi Hernandez have put the necessary things but he's still witnessing shocking defeats. It's been really a confused moment for Barcelona, they have everything to win matches but it's seems they're struggling to achieve this particular target. Although Barcelona have suffered critical injuries and it have been a terrible moment and major setback for the club. Frenkie de Jong is unavailable and it's starting to he regarded as an injury player for the club. He couldn't survived tough games.

Sure Barcelona match against Girona will be a tough game but Barcelona will win Girona because I predicted Atletico Madrid to win Girona when they met in their returning match and it went according to my prediction, and Real Madrid has also won them earlier which made Girona lost form and unable to recover since then, so it's actually remaining Barcelona to have their own share of the cake which they can achieve because Barcelona has literally lost their last two most recent matches that involved them and PSG in the champions league, and the other was against Real Madrid, though Barcelona faced strong opponents but that shouldn't be an excuse because Barcelona is also a big team.

[ndutndut]

Nooo man so sad that bet, losing it for that match makes me feel like shit.

This is how football always surprises us and makes us feel stupid when betting. Atletico Madrid's mentality doesn't seem to have fully returned after the defeat to Dortmund a few days ago. Thanks to this victory, Alaves moved away from the relegation zone by collecting 35 points which makes them 10 points different from Cadiz who are in the relegation zone.

But one thing caught me, really the odds before the match was 1.85 for Atletico Madrid? Seems really high, and i have to say if i see it i also gonna take that bet.

Simeone needs to rebuild all the team, is gonna be a really shaking market this one for them.

Of course Simeone must immediately recover from this defeat because as a result of the defeat to Alaves, Atletico Madrid is now under serious pressure from Athletic Bilbao who are below them because they are only three points behind. And what's interesting is that these two teams will face each other next week, of course this is Simeone's opportunity to secure his position in the UCL league zone.

[Rengga Jati]

However, Alaves' important victory is shaking up the La Liga standings. While Diego Simeone's side may struggle to catch Girona, they face a tough battle to secure a top-four finish this season.

Atletico Madrid really shouldn't throw away this chance. Because the competition in Laliga for that position is close to the end of Laliga. and they actually wasted that opportunity. In fact, Alaves is indeed the main team. but how can you miss up to 2 goals? This is indeed another nightmare for Altletixo Madrid.

Maybe Diego Simeone has stayed longer than he was supposed to stay with the club. Yes he still gets result but it's tmes to see him part ways with the club.
I do not think he has enough time and days to spend with the club.

I went ahead to give Them just to score a single goal ND tjry failed to do so. Atletico Madrid dropped form immediately after they lost to Borrussia Dortmund in the Champions League Competition.
Don't be fazed whenever you see them winning the competition too.

At times you have to lose. You need failures to pas though these serious players.

Simeone and his defencive strategy that sometimes ruin games wasn't fruitful for Atletico Madrid this match.
When we talk about the need of securing a top four spot for Atletico Madrid then I would say in two word: next match. Atletico Madrid will face this Saturday Athletic Bilbao and a defeat in Metropolitano means goodbye the fourth position for good since except from Real Sociedad, the other teams aren't that hard for Athletic Bilbao.

But finishing in the second position and finishing above Barcelona is something of an achievement in itself. But they will also have to win the other matches that are left for them. I don’t know if Girona will be able to be so consistent at this stage.

Let Girona win their next match against Las Palmas and Girona also wins their next match against Valencia before we can analyse their head to head match that will be coming up first week of may. Barcelona are a team that will want to keep their prestige and wouldn’t want Girona to finish above them because of how closed they are with each other now. Girona at this point will not mind the position they will finish on since this is their best season so far in the La Liga and they’ve already achieved something to be praised for.

It will be a great achievement for Girona to finish second on the table above Barcelona but I don’t see them stressing themselves too much for that if it seems impossible to them. All teams from positions two to give on the standings all have opportunities to make qualify for the champions league spot which will depend on the performance of every team. At some point, some teams on the lower positions have to give up if those of the higher positions don’t lose match and remain consistent.

Yes, the competition between Girona and Barcelona will certainly be a tight competition and indeed if Girona is able to overtake Barcelona's position and become runner up champion it will certainly be a matter of pride and of course a good achievement for Girona considering that last season Girona was ranked 10th, so this is is an extraordinary achievement. It would be extraordinary for Girona if Girona was able to achieve runner up ranking at the end of the season and of course Girona qualified for the Champions League.

but in my opinion Barcelona will definitely be happy if they become runners up this season, but if you look at their achievements last season, of course this season Barcelona's strength is declining, so Barcelona fans will definitely be a little disappointed because Barcelona's performance this season experienced a setback which is certainly not like last season who managed to become champion.

Winning 1st, 2nd and 3rd place is certainly a good achievement and of course we should congratulate the teams who won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place at the end of the season.

I see that Girona's performance is always fluctuating, of course I personally find it very difficult to predict whether Girona will be able to consistently win in every upcoming match or not. But my feeling is that Girona has great potential to consistently win every match.

Sure, this week Girona is only 2 points behind Barcelona. The reason is, in the previous match Barcelona was defeated by rivals Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Girona managed to win the match against Cadiz. So, Girona now has the opportunity to overtake Barcelona in second place in Laliga. But even so, as we know there is still one more match before Barcelona and Girona face each other. So in this case I really agree with @Jegileman's opinion. Because the point is we have to see first how the final results of Barcelona and Girona's matches with their respective opponents will be. The reason is, this week Barcelona or Girona could draw or lose against the team they will play against. Even though the possibility of Barcelona and Girona losing is very small in this week's match. However, this can still happen. Especially in the Barcelona match against Valencia. Because in the previous match Barcelona had a very difficult time against Valencia, so in this match I think there is a possibility that Barcelona will again have difficulty facing Valencia.

So in essence Girona has 2 options to be able to shift Barcelona from 2nd position. The first option is for Barcelona to lose or draw against Valencia and Girona to win against Las Palmas. And the second option is that Barcelona and Girona both win their matches this week. Then when Girona faces Barcelona, ​​Girona must be able to win the match. Personally, I think the second option is the most likely.

Consistent performance is the main stream behind Real Madrid sitting ontop and also in the semifinals in the UEFA Champions League. We know Real Madrid to be one of the formidable club in major tournaments. Meanwhile Barcelona and Girona struggling or fighting for what spot? They've both successfully qualified for the UEFA Champions League spot for next season. Barcelona thinking about leveling points with Real Madrid? It's impossible because there are just few games left and every opposition will trigger their best performance.
