La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[legendbtc]

Nobody believed Girona could still remain in the top four of La Liga; even when they were topping the La Liga table, most people believed they would be kicked out of the top four of La Liga in the middle of the season. Even when Girona was struggling to win their matches in La Liga, they put in their best to make sure they got back to their winning ways and remained in the La Liga top four. Even though Girona finished in fourth place in the La Liga table, it is a good achievement because they were not fighting to survive relegation this season in La Liga.

Girona thrashed the elite teams, I'm talking about winning Atletico Madrid and Barcelona with a netting four goals against them each but it turns to be out of luck for them because they completely failed to win matches. Girona is no longer consider as some average team, they've qualified for a spot in the UEFA Champions League for next season. Gironistes are very happy with their team and ready to bring in all the supports to drive them to deliver good job in top tournaments.

Girona's performance can make fans ecstatic because of its dedicated attacking style and high surprise, but to win the championship is not enough. Girona still needs to gain the strength and experience to rise to the top of La Liga. Girona possesses many talented young players but needs a superstar to determine the match's outcome. They have plenty of determination but need more stability and the mentality a champion needs. There was a time when Girona was considered a strong candidate for the La Liga championship this season. However, with the quality of the squad depth needing to improve, Girona stagnated at the most critical moment of the season.

Girona is only in its fourth season in the Spanish top flight, and its highest finish was 10th in both the 2017/18 and 2022/23 seasons. So, this is considered a historic campaign for the club, even though the club no longer has the ability to compete for the championship. Whether they achieve their goal of participating in the Champions League or not, Girona's journey this season is still memorable and proud, far exceeding expectations of relegation before the season started.

In the second half of the match Valencia were down to 10 player, so Barcelona were able to turn things around and Lewandowski also managed a hat-trick in thematch. But I sure, Barcelona would not have gotten such a victory if forexample Valencia was still playing with 11 players too. Because after all, in the first half the fact that Valencia had won with a score of 1-2 and of course, that factor would make Valencia easy to maintain the victory that had been obtained.But unfortunately,the red card received by the Valencia goalkeeper made Valencia fail to maintain the victory it had in the firsthalf.

valentia experiencing one man down was what led to their defeat when G. Mamardashvili was given a red card the game changed and they lost confidence if not for that they had better chances of winning against Barcelona, R. Lewandowski scored a hat-trick a result of a man down, everyone knew that valencia is good, watching from the first half they you know exactly what am talking about, we know that the first goal was an easy one they the penalty given so there was no much struggle when they were winning, so if we were to rate both there play they have tried, and they were both lucky, but Barcelona was the luckiest.

Barcelona used their opportunity well they noticed Valencia was down by one man and there was no way they could cover everywhere and that is how the goals were dropping, and all the leagues were getting more interesting i could remember that Barcelona was struggling some weeks back and now they have picked up again.

Even if Valencia were playing with their complete squad, I doubt they would win against Barcelona. Valencia are not consistently playing this season, though I know that in that match before, if their player got a red card, they were playing well, but still, I’m going to give Barcelona a chance of winning the game because, obviously, we can’t say Barcelona are not trying, and the fact that they are the top 2 in the table will make them do everything to win against Valencia, even if it is going to be difficult for them. But I gave them a chance of winning the match, not Valencia. Even though I know if Valencia played full squad, it will not be easy as Barcelona got that victory. 

I think the game between Valencia and Barcelona was too sad for Xavi and his players because they played their game after the loss of the Champions League against PSG and losing that game was not easy for Barcelona at all because they were very close to winning.
But in the game against Valencia, they won the game with a 4-2 result while they were playing in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and only 30167 people were watching the game which is the lowest number for Barcelona they had during this season so far.

These Barcelona fans are always complaining a lot, they are forgetting that it was Barcelona that won the league last season in which they didn't concede many goals, so they shouldn't be constantly complaining. real madrid didn't win the league last season, they didn't win the champions league last season.

just look at the la liga table 2022 - 2023



Barcelona played 38 games
real madrid played 38 games

Barcelona conceded 20 goals
real madrid conceded 36 goals

Barcelona finished with 88 points
real madrid finished with 78 points

So Barcelona won la liga 2022 2023 with a 10 point advantage, this season things are not going very well for Barcelona in defensive terms, because in 33 games they have already conceded 39 goals. But these Barcelona fans shouldn't be constantly complaining because last season they were champions, it seems like they want to be champions every season, this is something very difficult because they have strong opponents in the league, like Real Madrid, which is a team strong, that's part of football. I don't understand why these Barcelona fans complain so much

Xavi must be very dissappointed at Barcelona this season for going empty handed.He took them to a Lalliga tittle last season,hoping to defend and retain the tittle this season,but Madrid was more powerful than they could ever immagine.At first,it was Girona who was showing extraordinary strength,and everyone believed they could win the trophy,but along the way,they got tired,fatigue came in, injuries came in,and they dropped form.But atleast,that coach has made a statement to their boards,that if they can give him money to sign players,he can surprise people by winning the league for them because he won most of the big teams this season, except Madrid,who are now the favourite for the tittle.congratulation to Girona and Madrid.

Throwing blame at Barcelona will actually do no good because even  Real Madrid who happened to have won the trophy was actually not a terrible team, I mean their performance this season was actually epic and deserving of the victory they got , they were able to maintain some kind of unbeaten streaks at some point , they only lost a very few numbers of games which I think was actually less than 10.

Girona was actually not left it in the whole experience, they were at some point looking like they will be able to dare to win the trophy this season but then they have been able to finish at the top of the league which actually isn't a bad idea a First trial, they have been able to show that they have developed some kind of strength and are now playing at the top tier of the league which I'm optimistic about the fact that they will be able to do better next season of they get to improve even more as they will have the opportunity to do so , girona can be a better team than they are currently.

I think In a way next season isn't going to be an easy one for the la Liga because it's looking like more teams are beginning to gather some form of strength and momentum to be even much better by next season but then I'm optimistic in the fact that Barcelona will do better and probably get to win the trophy by the end of next season as against their performance this season.

It is great to see Lewandowski scored many goals again.
........
I think he should stay in Barcelona for the next season.

Lewandowski is certain to stay at Barcelona and will not be tempted by big offers from leagues outside Europe. He feels he still has a big responsibility for the Catalan club so he will fulfill it until his contract ends. Let's wait for more magic from Lewandowski which will certainly really help pump up the enthusiasm of the young players from the Blaugrana.

This is truly exciting news, yes, indeed, based on the news, thankfully Lewy will still stay in Barcelona and this has been confirmed. There have been several rumors that Barcelona will let him go next season, but this confirmation news proves that Lewy will still strengthen Barcelona next season. This is very great to see him at the club again, still.

There is no need to blame Barcelona or even moreover Xavi for this failure of Barcelona this seaosn to be the champion. Yes, this may not be satisfactory enough for Barcelona, also for Xavi of course. But this is the best result. Barcelona was in an even lower position this season. because Girona and Atletico Madrid were ahead. but as time goes by and progress, However, the results are quite different this time.

Girona was amongst the teams top rated for the La Liga title but their inability to win Real Madrid made them lost the title hope of the league. But Girona can still do better next season because they still got one of the best players and a good coach to see them through achieving that in the next season. With their performance this season, they’ll be watched by many teams in the La Liga and won’t give them a chance to beat them like they did in most of the matches this season. They will also be playing in the Champions League next season, so I feel they’ll be tougher and more stronger to be easily defeated in the La Liga. Barcelona didn’t have such a very bad season, it was only their high expectations that makes it hard for them to believe that the tried this season.

Girona was in great form when they defeated Athletico Madrid and Barcelona heavily in La Liga, and it was only Real Madrid who could beat Girona at that time. Girona has not qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League because if they lose all their remaining matches in the league and Athletic Bilbao win all their remaining matches in the league, they will overtake Girona in the top four of La Liga. Girona needs three points to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, even if they lose their matches.

Real Madrid has chance for winning La Liga tittle on game week 34 against Cadiz, but have waiting the match result between Girona vs Barcelona to celebrate as La Liga winner in this season. Have 11 points behind Barcelona actually Madrid need two winning matches later but this week winning against Cadiz and Barcelona defeated by Girona will make Madrid's points can't reach any more by Barcelona or Girona with four matches later.
Actually Girona has chance to help Real Madrid for winning La Liga tittle on game week 34 if can beat Barcelona but Madrid have to win early against Cadiz. The game week 34, Madrid will play early from Girona vs Barcelona match. If next match Madrid win against Cadiz will has 87 points and Girona success beating Barcelona will move to 2nd place and has 74. Left four matches later its not chance yet for Girona reach Madrid on the top position standings.

Just like you said, there's every possiblity that the winner of this season's Spanish La Liga title can be decided this weekend and there's also a possibility that we might just have to wait till next weekend to have a new winner emerge. Real Madrid host Cadiz tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabeu and a win for Carlo Ancelotti's men will make the them become the winners of the league if Barcelona is defeated at Girona that same tomorrow.
The interesting thing about those two fixtures tomorrow is that Barcelona's game at Girona will take place after Real Madrid are done with hosting Cadiz so should Real Madrid win, their players will be watching the Girona vs Barcelona game with the hope Girona will win fir them to be crowned Spanish La Liga champions.
Real Madrid have fought a good battle this season and for a club that was able to get a draw against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week, winning the league title this weekend will give them all needed morale to win the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi final tie against Bayern Munich by next week Wednesday to reach the final of the competition

[naira]

The Barcelona and Girona match deserves to be said to be a big game next week because the two teams will definitely play all out to show who deserves to be in the second rank, so far Barcelona is 2 points ahead of Girona, but that does not mean Barcelona is better than Girona this season, in the first meeting of the season Girona managed to beat Barcelona and it indicates that Barcelona's performance is not better than Girona so I think the two teams will definitely be Trying to attack each other to get 3 points and occupy second place in the La Liga standings, Girona will certainly make the most of the match because against Barcelona is the only chance girona can be back in 2nd place this season.

Based on the readiness of the two teams, it seems that they are very ready to face what will happen, Barcelona and Girona must do everything they can in this match. For Barcelona if they lose for the umpteenth time, it would be very embarrassing for the Blaugrana. Coach Michel can't wait to welcome Xavi to his home ground because this is the only opportunity to extend the positive trend while playing against Barcelona. The draw option can also still be considered, because in terms of odds, Girona has 35% and Barcelona has 40%, this small difference will certainly be difficult to win over.

Ancelotti will of course carry out rotations in the game against Cadiz, Ancelotti has no specific targets because Real Madrid position is very safe at the top of the standings. The huge difference in quality between the two teams means Ancelotti can rotate in several central positions. Arda Guler will probably fill the line-up in this game because he managed to impress in the previous match.

He must get playing time more often to develop his talent, the coach's trust must be used to show his quality so he can get playing time in important matches. Real Madrid will achieve an easy victory in this game because the opponent they will face is a team that is struggling to get out of the relegation zone.

Even though Real Madrid target in the match against Cadiz is to lock up the La Liga trophy, it would be better if this opportunity was given to young players, because if they managed to get 3 points with a young squad it could automatically motivate them because they succeeded in securing the trophy. This will be a crucial moment for Madrid future, especially for its young players, I also hope Ancelotti gives him this opportunity even though it is a high risk.

Getafe vs Bilbao

I don't know what happend to Bilbao because since they can beat Mallorca and gets the trophy from Copa Del Rey competition Bilbao performance was decline because since that match Bilbao was never able to gets the winning results again even the latest is Bilbao have to lost from Atletico Madrid and Bilbao chances to pursuing Atletico Madrid points will be very hard because Bilbao was lost their consistency and today if Bilbao want to improved their position on League Table i think Bilbao have to return to the winning ways and beat Getafe but it won't be easy because Getafe condition is more good compared to them

I was found interesting records between these teams because both teams were playing draw 5 times streak and these records is proven Getafe is tough opponent for Bilbao and about squad conditions apparently Bilbao was facing unfavourable conditions because at least 4 players from them will be absense including Oihan Sancet who possibly will not be available because he was got the injured and if we see the recent performance from them which almost be equal i think potentially this match will be ended to draw again and the odds for draw is quite high @3.25 but for safe bets probably both teams to scores also good

Girona was amongst the teams top rated for the La Liga title but their inability to win Real Madrid made them lost the title hope of the league. But Girona can still do better next season because they still got one of the best players and a good coach to see them through achieving that in the next season. With their performance this season, they’ll be watched by many teams in the La Liga and won’t give them a chance to beat them like they did in most of the matches this season. They will also be playing in the Champions League next season, so I feel they’ll be tougher and more stronger to be easily defeated in the La Liga. Barcelona didn’t have such a very bad season, it was only their high expectations that makes it hard for them to believe that the tried this season.

The most critical thing for Girona will be next year because at the end of this year, teams will come forward and want to transfer many of their players. What they will do in the face of this situation and what strategy they will follow will be the key to next year. Considering that some loan players will return, we will see an end of the year where critical decisions will be made for Girona. I hope they will show us similar excitement next year, but I doubt they will be able to show the same performance if there are transfers and they lose important players.

I hope they will show us similar excitement next year, but I doubt they will be able to show the same performance if there are transfers and they lose important players.

one drawback of a promotional team or a mediocre team like Girona is simply a lack of funds from investors which means the team cannot develop and compete with other top teams. meanwhile, we know how Girona performance or success in competing at the top of the standings at the start of this season is a sign that Girona can become a popular team if they have large funds to bring in more quality players or make loan players permanent.
of course it will be difficult for Girona in the coming season if they cannot retain the current players or make loan players permanent, of course the team's performance will be very influential in being able to face obstacles in the next season and my hope is like other people who have said that hopefully there will be investors who want to provided large funds for Girona development so that La Liga became even more attractive after the arrival of a mediocre team which turned into a popular team in the future.

Girona's hopes of playing in the Champions League next season are of course wide open at the moment, although at the weekend maybe they will lose the chance of rising to second place if they lose to Barcelona but with the remaining matches that exist at this time, of course their chances of playing in the Champions League next season we can say quite safe at this time,  At the moment Girona of course surprises us all with their performances that can make them compete in the top 4 to date, with an even squad they are able to surprise Madrid and Barcelona so I think maybe next season they will be able to still count as title contenders if later they do not sell their main players.


This season their squad has been quite good but still there will be improvements that Girona has to do by bringing in some good players to be able to compete in the Champions League next season, I think by being under the umbrella of City Football Group (CFG) at this time of course Girona will have no problem bringing in good players next season, CFG will of course interfere in the transfers that happen to Girona next season,  because CFG has control that does regulate every policy of the clubs that are members.

This is truly exciting news, yes, indeed, based on the news, thankfully Lewy will still stay in Barcelona and this has been confirmed. There have been several rumors that Barcelona will let him go next season, but this confirmation news proves that Lewy will still strengthen Barcelona next season. This is very great to see him at the club again, still.

Source: Exclusive BarcaTimes

I think Lewandowski is still very suitable to be at Barcelona. Although this season his performance has had ups and downs. However, in Barcelona's last match against Valencia, Lewandowski proved that he still had great abilities by scoring a hat trick against Valencia. So even though he is quite old, Lewandowski still deserves to continue his career at Barcelona. Because it has been proven, this season Lewandowski was able to bag 23 goals with Barcelona. Apart from that, if for example next season Lewandowski decides to leave Barcelona, ​​who knows which team will be willing to recruit him. So staying at Barcelona is the right choice for Lewandowski. Apart from that, Lewandowski still has quite a long remaining contract at Barcelona so it would be a shame if he chose to leave.
Because, for example, Lewandowski's contract at Barcelona has expired (in 2 years). If Lewandowski's performance continues to be good, I think his contract can continue to be extended at Barcelona. So that way, Lewandowski could have the option of retiring as a Barcelona player. And I think this option is very good for Lewandowski.

And in essence, this news is very encouraging for Barcelona and its fans. Because to be honest, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to find a new striker if Lewandowski leaves Barcelona. Moreover, Barcelona's finances have not yet fully recovered.

[Solokan]

Xavi must be very dissappointed at Barcelona this season for going empty handed.He took them to a Lalliga tittle last season,hoping to defend and retain the tittle this season,but Madrid was more powerful than they could ever immagine.At first,it was Girona who was showing extraordinary strength,and everyone believed they could win the trophy,but along the way,they got tired,fatigue came in, injuries came in,and they dropped form.But atleast,that coach has made a statement to their boards,that if they can give him money to sign players,he can surprise people by winning the league for them because he won most of the big teams this season, except Madrid,who are now the favourite for the tittle.congratulation to Girona and Madrid.

Barcelona didn’t have such a very bad season, it was only their high expectations that makes it hard for them to believe that the tried this season.

Xavi definitely wants Barcelona to become champions again and that is a natural thing. But of course it cannot be denied that Madrid is now the strongest candidate to become champion in Laliga.

Yes, this is the reality in the world of football and of course now Barcelona has to accept the fact that Barcelona has the potential to find it difficult to become champion, yes, this is due to Barcelona's declining performance this season and also the emergence of another strong team which makes it difficult for Barcelona to rank first. Girona is really great this season and also Madrid because they have good skills. Girona was indeed good and strong and had sat at the top of the standings, but unfortunately Michel's troops could not consistently win in all matches which ultimately resulted in their ranking dropping. Yes, but now Girona is in 3rd place and of course still competing with Barcelona. Yes, of course we deserve to congratulate Madrid and Girona because of their good achievements this season.

Of course next season Girona's opportunity to perform better is wide open because Michel is a good coach who can make Girona's performance in next season even better and Girona's opportunity to take part in the Champions League is wide open and of course I personally can't wait to see Girona's match. with other strong teams that are not from Laliga. Of course it will not be easy to compete with the Laliga team next season because the Laliga team already knows the strength that Michel's troops have, but I am sure Girona will perform better next season.

I also agree with you that Barcelona is not bad this season and now Barcelona is in the runner up position which is an extraordinary achievement and of course next season there is still hope for Barcelona to win a trophy because what I know is that Xavi will not leave Barcelona so of course Barcelona it will have the potential to be even better next season because of course Xavi wants to make Barcelona even better next season.

There are still 5 games to complete. If they don't drop many points, they will definitely go to UCL. The difference in points with a ranking of 13 points, seems quite safe. But at least they become a debutant team, with the current condition of the players maybe it will be very difficult to compete. I've read that Girona are in a debt-free condition, but the financial situation to buy UCL label players seems to be quite difficult. Maybe they need to add non-top players who are able to contribute to the coach's plan.

[Obim34]

-snip-

Barcelona is most likely going to win the second runner up this season and i don't want to believe otherwise because i believe Barcelona has been able to show in recent times that they are able to maintain the second position on the table without fear of loosing it as their performance towards the w d of the season got improved that if they were in this form before now, they would have been able to pose a threat to Madrid.

Looks like that will be the case, there are only 5 remaining matches left. And the difference in points with Girona is actually not that far, only 2. However, it is possible that Barcelona's opponents will also be able to handle them well in the final match. In fact, it's no different from being runner up or number 3. Because they are both in the qualifying round for the Champions League next season. But of course this is also related to prestige. How is that possible, Barcelona, not only behind Real Madrid, but also other clubs. That's why Xavi definitely wants them to be at least runners up.

Both teams are quite a good match with encouraging performances. Barcelona are already having their second position on the table, but who knows how long it may continue since Barcelona is to face Girona in their next fixtures. Looking from stats, on their last two matches played, Barcelona doesn't have a good stats against Girona but I believe with the help of Xavi they may record a good win over Girona. If Barcelona can win Girona, which I strongly believe they will, then their is every conviction that Barcelona has secured the second position and a runner up, surpassing Girona with 5pts.

Barcelona is still quite far from their best in a league where they should be better off normally. They haven't been above the 90 points mark for a while now. That's the difference this year as Real Madrid hasn't been dropping as many points as they did last season. If they wan to be ready to compete with Real Madrid in the coming years, they will need some more top class players. Guys like Lamine Yamal could make difference very soon. It's once again the case that nobody really understands whether Barcelona will be able to invest larger sums of money into new players, but I guess they can't go crazy at all and instead will have to try to improve their team with maybe one ore two players from the transfer market while recruiting more of their own talents.

Barcelona are still building their team, so personally I don't expect much of a standard coming from them but at their very best they have succeeded securing second position in the La liga and near to qualifying for the Champions league semi final. This as well indicates that Xavi is doing a good job on the team and in a few season from now, Barcelona will be going back to what we do know them for. Lamine Yamal is a good start for Barca, same with this young boys and I don't expect them selling any of them. These guys have the qualities of a good player, they only require extra time on the field to gain the same level of experience as other big teams.

Barcelona doesn't have enough funds to go for world class players but one thing is that they are good at managing and training players coming from their academy to be fit to play against any opponents.

[legendbtc]

The empty season has officially appeared for Barcelona. The only thing they can do now is maintain their form until the end of the season. If Real Madrid defeats Cadiz in round 34 and coach Xavi and his team lose to Girona, Barcelona will officially be dethroned and see their great rival crowned champion.

Girona won the first leg at the Estadi Olimpic spectacularly, and they will have the chance to repeat that result this weekend. Especially with the club's excellent performance at home. Michel Sanchez is carefully preparing for the clash with Barcelona. Meanwhile, Coach Xavi will have to tighten Barcelona's defense system if he does not want to suffer a disastrous defeat like in the first leg. And coach Xavi can put his hope in striker Lewandowski to win the derby. It's clear that Barcelona needs to win to maintain its fragile championship hopes. However, not many people believe that Xavi and his team can overthrow Real Madrid and successfully defend the championship. Perhaps their goal is to finish the season in 2nd place.

I don't know what happend to Bilbao because since they can beat Mallorca and gets the trophy from Copa Del Rey competition ...

That Copa del Rey title was really special for Athletic Bilbao and I hope you have seen the way they celebrated it.    The last title they got in this cup was like 40 years ago so it means a lot for them.

But it looks like they are still under the influence of the sweet smell of victory that they can't do well in the La Liga. They have lost points for four weeks in a row so far. This just hit their hopes really hard about qualifying for the Champions League. The gap is 6 points between them and Atletico Madrid. I don't think Atletico Madrid would give them a second chance from now on. I think they sent the message very clear by beating them 3-1 last week.

[Republikcoin.com]

Girona was in great form when they defeated Athletico Madrid and Barcelona heavily in La Liga, and it was only Real Madrid who could beat Girona at that time. Girona has not qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League because if they lose all their remaining matches in the league and Athletic Bilbao win all their remaining matches in the league, they will overtake Girona in the top four of La Liga. Girona needs three points to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, even if they lose their matches.

Currently, Girona is still in the top three of La Liga, only two points behind Barcelona in second place and thirteen points from the top of the La Liga standings. So what do you think if Girona won't be able to qualify for the Champions League next season? Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, who is in the top four of La Liga, still has a gap of seven points with Girona at the moment and Athletic Bilbao also has a gap of thirteen points with Girona at the moment.
