La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[laurenB7742]

Girona, the surprise and flash team of the season, go into week eight as leaders. Michel's team are unbeaten and won again at Villarreal after falling behind earlier in the week. They have made some very good additions to last season's good squad. For Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior could return to the starting eleven this time but i don't expect Alaba to play and Rüdiger is available but not fully fit. Real struggled in the Atletico Madrid derby, especially in defending air balls. Girona can take advantage of this with Dovbyk. I think Girona will score but Real Madrid can pull rabbits out of the hat in these games with their big team reflexes. I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.

Barcelona has taken the first place in the league now, a lucky win and 3 points, so they have 20 points only 1 point more. But today the topgame is played in Girona, the guest is Real Madrid. Girona has won the last 6 games, the series of real madrid is not so good. The last match between the two teams was on 25.04.2023, there Girona won 4:2 against Madrid. The name Castellanos was everywhere in Spain, he score 4 goals against real madrid. Today he will not play, he moved to lazio rom.

Girona has 19 points in 7 matches and Barcelona has 20 points in 8 matches. A win for Girona or Madrid in today's match will see Barcelona lose top spot in the table. However, if the match between Girona and Madrid is a draw, the top spot in the table will be occupied by Barcelona.

The way Girona have performed in the first 7 matches this season is amazing. Girona team surprised everyone. They are unbeaten so far and Girona have won 6 out of 7 matches. However, Madrid are a very experienced team. They will definitely not want to lose against a team like Girona. However, Madrid lost 4-2 in the last match against Girona. Madrid will have to avenge the previous defeat today. There is no doubt that the match will be competitive.

Ramos was so keen on scoring a goal against Barcelona but he scored an own goal instead.    But it was really unlucky for him of course. Sevilla were doing pretty good against them in this game actually. If this own goal didn't happen then maybe they could have even got a point in Camp Nou.

At least Sevilla didn't play very poorly. But they need to make some progress in their results as well. For example next time in the league they are hosting Vallecano. I would expect them to beat Vallecano without serious problems. Right after that they have a game against Real Madrid which is a really challenging fixture. 

Yes it was a bad day for Ramos, as the goal he scored in his own net cost Sevilla a defeat to Barcelona. Despite their defeat in this match, overall they played well, it can only be said that they were unlucky to lose with a goal created by their own players. It must be recognized that Sevilla successfully suppressed every attack launched by Barcelona, they also created several opportunities, just did not lead to a goal. Next they will go to the Champions League match against PSV.

In the opening match of the week, we saw an important game, Barcelona hosted Sevilla. Since both teams had a Champions League match during the week, I guess they moved this match early. Of course Barcelona was the favorite as they were the hosts, but we can say that Sevilla plays at a more serious level in such matches. The only goal in the match was an own goal by Sergio Ramos. Barcelona won the match with this goal and got an important win. I think Sevilla will get better in the future.

Barcelona actually played decent in this match. But in my opinion, Sevilla was really unlucky to lose this one. They had shown good attacking in this match. It was really unlucky that Sergio Ramos actually ended up scoring an own goal. Otherwise, they definitely could have got one point from this match.

And does anyone have any idea about the injury situation of Raphinha? I know it is a hamstring injury. But I don't know for how long he is going to be out of the action.

Anyway, this has taken Barcelona to the first position in the La Liga table again. Let's see if Real Madrid can win the next match because if they do they will be ahead.

In my opinion, Sevilla was good enough to be able to withstand the aggressive play of Xavi's squad, even though they had to suffer an own goal, but overall without this goal Barcelona couldn't do anything other than share the points. Not being able to score a goal for Barcelona was clearly very negative because of Barcelona's total of 18 shots, only 4 were on target. This victory was considered lucky for Barcelona which brought them back to the top of the standings. Xavi must immediately carry out an evaluation after this match because without a goal is a little less good for a club like Barcelona whose players are more stable than Sevilla.

Xavi Hernandez is a promising coach that have purpose for the club, his vision is to see Barcelona on-top La Liga table and lifting the most significant title which is the UEFA Champions League title. But he first of all, concentrate on his opponents in league game. Sevilla performance in the game was outstanding, good to see José Luis Mendilibar men displayed such incredible qualities towards the blaugrana, though they lost the game but it have given them the necessary motivation to start winning crucial games. Sevilla have a long way to go this season, just a matter of time before the bounce back to winning ways which is purely going to be beneficial to the club and there supporters.

Sevilla perform better than expectations in this match, and they were surely deserve one point after having performance like this in all match even they were unlucky to have own goal and lost of point which was surely important for them and Barcelona with this win now having top spot for one day because now after few hours we will have another interesting match which will decide who is going to stay at the top for rest of the week.

In last few matches, we have decline in performance of the Barcelona which is surely not good as now things are going to be tough for the all top ranked teams which are competing in top leagues with Champions League match is also coming after few days, so they need to be perfect for this all Sevilla is surely now back in business and most chances we will have good performance from them in coming matches.

In the game between Real Madrid and Las Palmas, Vinicius Junior played for his team ad n got recovered and was injured for some weeks, obviously, Ancelotti was under pressure because of this player being injured and other players in Real Madrid had to do his job and finish the balls during that time but in this game when Vinicius Junior returned to the field, Ancelotti was not satisfied at all and he was complaining about this player.
It seems Ancelotti should be given more time to Vinicius to get back to his good form.

Vini may not have played well in the match against Las Palmas, but in today match maybe Vini will be able played in his good performance. Anyway, Real Madrid cannot afford lose points to stay close with Barcelona, and it seems like they will play quite well. But yeah, we'll see today because Girona is not a weak opponent either, and it's going to be a big match at there.

But yeah, we'll see today because Girona is not a weak opponent either, and it's going to be a big match at there.

They were doing fine without him and I felt that instead of rushing to play him against Las Palmas, Ancelotti would had allow him to rest and be fully fit to play against  Girona which is a more tougher side, Vini jnr just recovered from injury so I won't be suprised if his performance was not very welcoming especially since he's not fully recovered, but Vinicius is a star player for Realmadrid and I believe he'll  be fully fit and ready to face Girona today.

 Girona's form came as a surprise this season cause I didn't expect them to be at the position they're currently, well I'll love to see how they'll do against a bigger team, if they're ready to be among the league contender this season, it would come as a suprise if they win Madrid today but I doubt because we could see them suffer their 1st  defeat against Realmadrid today.

I agree that Sevilla's loss in this match was because they were unlucky, Barcelona could not create goals, and the 1 goal that came in this match was a goal born from Sevilla's Sergio Ramos.
Yes Sevilla could have held Barcelona at bay, and I think a draw would have been the result had there been no own goal. But this is football, sometimes luck is also the deciding factor whether a club wins or loses. And that happened to Sevilla in this match, they must be willing to lose points because of their unluckiness.

The match between Sevilla and Barcelona was very competitive. Although Barcelona had more possession, Sevilla had some great chances and missed them. Barcelona attacked brilliantly to score one goal after another until Lamine Yamal headed a header into Ramos's leg and sealed the victory with an own goal.

Anyway, this has taken Barcelona to the first position in the La Liga table again. Let's see if Real Madrid can win the next match because if they do they will be ahead.

Yes if Sevilla had put up a stronger strike force they would have definitely had a chance with Barcelona, probably a draw would have been possible, but then they seem to have a bad day so Barcelona had the day as a result of the mistake made by Barcelona else they would have most likely shared the points amongst themselves equally which would have affected their position on the standing.

But then the position Barcelona is at now is most threatened as if Real Madrid happens to win their next game they may most likely displace Barcelona from the first position as they are just 2 points difference apart, they will only be unable to do this if they get a draw from the game and get only one point.

Any ways I'm hoping Madrid wins but if they loss to girona then giron will be at the top as they are just one point below and if they draw they are going to be on the same point as Barcelona so they will need another game to determine if they will be ahead of Barcelona or behind similar situation applies to Barcelona aswell.

Lamine Yamal stood out as Xavi's team defeated Sevilla in a LaLiga match, with an own goal by Sergio Ramos that lift up Barcelona to the top of the table. It was an unfortunate moment for Ramos, but these things happen in football. Sevilla is a strong opponent, yet they faced the misfortune of an own goal. Barcelona's victory wasn't a stroke of luck; they played a superior game though. However, there's room for improvement in their performance, particularly in their finishing.

Yes, Vini has just recovered from injury so his performance was not very good in the last match.
Girona last season did not lose against Real Madrid in two matches home and away, this season they have experienced great improvement, actually today is a difficult match for Real Madrid
Getafe 0-0 Villarreal. Villarreal showed a great match, although they lost one player in the first half, but their defense was very solid there, and Getafe really had difficulty to scored although their many golden opportunities

[khiholangkang]

Barca is still unbeaten but Mallorca was a game they should've won. They fell back two times and it was harder to score against a defensive Mallorca. They should hold these type of uncalculated point losses to minimum. Real also has bad games but they still won. It's important to win even when you play worse than opponent. Real's only loss was against Atletico which is acceptable.
Team of the first 7 weeks is Girona. It'll be an interesting match between them and Real Madrid this weekend. We'll see if it's by luck or if they are really good and deserve the first place. One thing for sure is at least one of them lose points.

Girona, the surprise and flash team of the season, go into week eight as leaders. Michel's team are unbeaten and won again at Villarreal after falling behind earlier in the week. They have made some very good additions to last season's good squad. For Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior could return to the starting eleven this time but i don't expect Alaba to play and Rüdiger is available but not fully fit. Real struggled in the Atletico Madrid derby, especially in defending air balls. Girona can take advantage of this with Dovbyk. I think Girona will score but Real Madrid can pull rabbits out of the hat in these games with their big team reflexes. I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.

Girona is a very surprising team at the beginning of the season and I also did not think that so far they played quite neatly from match to match, indeed Real Madrid lost in the match against Atletico and yes we know these two teams are rivals to each other in the city of Madrid. Yes maybe if you see from the position mentioned about Real Madrid's weaknesses in playing the top ball, can still be tried by Girona to defeat him, but we know Real Madrid with talent they have, their lower ball games are very neat and they have a sprint drible In midfielders and their wings are pretty good, for this match I personally predict the victory for Real Madrid, and the first defeat for Girona this week.

It would be very surprising if Girona could beat Real Madrid in this match, and yes they might have become a strong team.

But yeah, we'll see today because Girona is not a weak opponent either, and it's going to be a big match at there.

This match will be held in the next few hours, and it looks like both teams are quite ready to fight. on the Madrid side, now Ancelotti can return to playing Vini Jr as the main starter against Girona. The presence of Vini Jr in this match will be very necessary for Ancelotti to overthrow the home team. As usual, Don Carlo seems to be using the same system as in other matches. Brazilian striker duo on the front line, Bellingham is back as an attacking midfielder. However, for the back line, it is very likely that Alaba will be absent from this match. because he suffered an injury when Madrid played against Las Palmas. So, its status is doubtful.

In the home team's camp, Michel usually applies two patterns which are his mainstay systems. they can play with a 4-1-4-1 pattern, which means Girona will appear with an offensive strategy. However, I am more confident that Michel will play safely with a 4-5-1 system. According to the scenario, Girona will hold Real Madrid players in the midfield sector. But we'll see what system Michel will implement for his squad.

Referring to betting, Girona with odds @3.60 and while Real Madrid @1.93. It seems clear, Madrid is still the favorite and the odds are quite tempting. However, I suspect that the match will be quite tough. I hesitate to predict this match, but my speculation is that the ideal option is betting on Under 3.25 goals with odds @1.71. I predict, there won't be many goals in this match.

After failing in the match against Mallorca, Barcelona will try to improve everything in the next match against Sevilla. Considering that this is Barcelona's home match, of course they are very favored over their opponents. Moreover, Barcelona have played well at home so far, winning all 4 home games in two different competitions, so I believe they are still the favorites to win.

Barca is still unbeaten but Mallorca was a game they should've won. They fell back two times and it was harder to score against a defensive Mallorca.

I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.

In fact, Girona is making waves this year. I cant help but become excited for their match against Real Madrid after seeing their incredible six-game winning streak. Nonetheless, I have my doubts. Im nervous because Castellanos wasnt on the field, and he scored four goals the last time we played Madrid. His departure to Lazio Rom has created a hole. Dovbyk may try to break through Madrid's air ball defense, but Girona may be shaky without Castellanos' experience. Even though the game will get off to a blazing start, without Castellanos the dynamics shift dramatically, and Real Madrid's experience could be decisive.

Gerona's performance may have improved but Madrid will still be the favorites in this match. Even if Gerona managed to draw with Madrid, it would be a good achievement for them considering the quality of players they both have. I think Madrid will still be more favored.
Madrid can take advantage of this match moment to overtake Barcelona at the top of the standings. It's still early days and we'll probably see competition in La Liga getting tougher. and of course, changes in the standings will look normal when the points scored by each team are very close.

Girona become so good as now without any clear reason, they don't really have a great players. So I'd say they're just lucky enough, obviously they're improving, but it's hard to compete against big clubs which have a good financial.

I also agree this match won't have many goals because Real Madrid is playing away.

However, if we look a little bit at last season, in reality is Girona last season also managed not to lose when Girona played against Real Madrid last season. Amazingly, in the second match last season, Girona actually managed to beat Real Madrid at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi. So, even though this moment Real Madrid is of course still the favorite to win this match, but if I consider their results last season and the trends that are happening at this moment. So at least, the match between Girona and Real Madrid looks like it will be tough. So, even though Real Madrid is the favorite to win, but it looks like it won't be easy for Real Madrid to win this match. But yes, let's wait, because the exact result is certainly difficult to predict.

Barcelona attacked brilliantly to score one goal after another until Lamine Yamal headed a header into Ramos's leg and sealed the victory with an own goal.

Barcelona was so difficult in beating sevilla. Sevilla has been doing so many improvements and i could not even believe it. My appreciation for ramos caused by barcelona will not able to get full points without him. Ramos has been helping the club so much.
Barcelona may only able to get 1 point if ramos was not helping barcelona with his own goal. What unlucky day for ramos. He must be feeling so disappointed caused by he was only making small mistakes.
There have been some improvements in sevilla started by its defenders and attackers. The defensive line is much more solid compared with the previous matches.
My applause goes to the sevilla caused by it may fully sort out its problem. That's very good to say that.
