La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Belarge]

It's amazing to see that Girona are now in first place in La Liga provided the match against Osasuna isn't over yet. Both clubs have scored two goals each with 10 minutes left to play. If Girona wins, Real Madrid will have to win their next game to become top of the standings.

Funny how Osasuna was leading and fall short by the incredible comeback pulled by Gironistes. The visitors didn't come to El Saldar stadium for jokes, ofcourse they meant business and have benefited in hitting the scoresheet with goals to put them infront. Girona are in good form this current season, only recorded one defeat against an elite team, I do compliment such good results coming from Míchel men. Girona takes the lead in the 80th minutes of the game after a brilliant goal from Viztor Tsygankov, it was sensational to watch Girona having a comeback and they keep everything on suspense with both team mounting pressures towards each other.

It is very surprising that Atletico Madrid, which has been consistent in the last six games played in La Liga, had to lose 3 important points after being defeated by Las Palmas. This defeat was very painful for Diego Simeone because he failed to match the points achieved by Real Madrid, who are at the top of the standings.
Agree with you, due to the ease of losing points to a team that could have been beaten, Atletico always finds it difficult to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the race for the title. It seems that Atletico's old illness has not healed, they always appear fierce when facing big teams. Real Madrid could have easily been beaten in the first meeting of the season, but they appeared soft against a small team that saw a number of points lost in vain.

It's hard to believe, but Las Palmas is truly surprising. They made new history since beating Atletico Madrid last time in the 1986/1987 season, but in 2023/2024 they will repeat it again. Several facts about the superiority of Atletico Madrid and its coach were broken by Las Palmas in that match, including those written in the quote below from the official Atletico Madrid website.

- Atlético de Madrid have won the last eight league games against UD Las Palmas. The last LaLiga defeat against the Canaries dates back to the 1986/1987 season.
- Atlético de Madrid have now won six consecutive LaLiga games and have not lost since 16 September against Valencia CF.
- Diego Pablo Simeone has never lost to Las Palmas in domestic competition (6V).

@mamesso, Las Palmas is not a weak team this season if you look at the results of their last 5 matches, including against Atletico Madrid. Las Palmas have won 4 of 5 consecutive matches so far, including beating Atletico Madrid. There is nothing strange if the statistics of the two are compared, but Las Palmas seems to be very strong in defense and they are also good at taking advantage of their opportunities. Las Palmas only conceded 10 goals in 11 matches before facing Atletico Madrid, in fact they are much better than Villareal and Sevilla this season.

That loss was clearly unexpected and Atletico was about to really get back into the competition for the La Liga title if they had won this game. They have stabilized so well during the past weeks and I thought that they would at least not be threatened by a team like Las Palmas to lose all points. I think for top teams it is also normal to tie a game sometimes because not everything works out perfectly well every game, but losing this one is really bad for them and the run they had.

Atletico didn't expect such from a team they could consider weak buy then they failed to keep at heart that in football underestimating a team could end sadly, I Felt Atletico would comfortably win Las Palmas yesterday but sadly rhe reverse was the case to my suprise.

Las palmas was playing from home and I guess they were very effective with their advantage, Atletico would have been at equal points with Real Madrid if they have won that game against Las Palmas yesterday buy like u did said which is correct, it's Normal that big teams at rime loose points buy will layer try to make up for it and get back on track and I think Atletico can do such as they have the strength.

I was surprised with Giron's performance because I was thinking they would lose this match after seeing Osasuna take the lead in the 55th minute of the match, but seeing Girona score two goals within nine minutes gave me more confidence that they were going to win the match, and now they have added one more goal to make the score 2-4 away from home against Osasuna, who won their last match against Girona.

After this match, Girona will top the La Liga title before Real Madrid and other teams play their matches, which means Real Madrid has to win their match to overtake them now because they have two more goals to lead the La Liga table. Girona is surprising so many people this season because they have been winning matches without errors or mistakes, they take all their matches seriously, and they have won 10 matches and drawn just one and lost one so far this season. If other teams are not serious, Girona might play in the Champions League next season.

[hahay]

Atlético interrupted their unbeaten streak and missed the opportunity to match points with Real Madrid. Well, this is a familiar situation for Atlético, when they come to the point where they have the opportunity to top the table, some kind of failure occurs. Las Palmas are not the strongest team, although they play very well at home. In any case, despite the loss, Atletico maintained a 3-point gap over Real.

It's so unfortunate for Atletico Madrid losing a golden chance to share the first place with Real Madrid and Girona. I almost placed a bet for Atlético that had good odds which was 1.8x approximately in the first half, as you saud it wasn't that hard match against a middle placed team in standings compared to them and their strength. What happened is Mocking the competitor since I don't believe that Las Palmas even in their own home can beat Atletico who managed to win against Real Madrid.
3 points in this situation are so important, Barcelona is only below them with one point and their match against them is close playing away with Barcelona for le it's a mission impossible for them to win and keep the gap.

It's very bad for Atletico to lose by a promotion team because anyway, it is clear that Atletico has a very good chance of winning. Because yes, at this moment Atletico are also still in good form and also, in fact Atletico have good statistics in this match. But the result is still, Atletico is very disappointed because I also bet for Atletico to win, but what happened was a very disappointing defeat. With results like that, Ateltico cannot be expected to be higher because after all, Atletico performance is always inconsistent when playing against mediocre teams and that is clearly bad for Atletico.

I think for top teams it is also normal to tie a game sometimes because not everything works out perfectly well every game, but losing this one is really bad for them and the run they had.

The two goals Atletico Madrid conceived were due to defensive errors. The cause of the first goal was because of the slackness of the defenders who thought that the game has gone out of play only to discover lately that it was not the case. Las Palmas strikers took advantage of this blunder to launch a counterattack which led to a well organized goal by K. Rodríguez in the 51st minutes. The second goal was also from a wrong passing which Las Palmas also took advantage of and got the goal in the 75th minutes. Rodrigo Riquelme, Antoine Griezmann and Álvaro Morata underperformed, wasting some good opportunities. Atletico is still in a good position and Las Palmas got a lift to 9th position. Diego Simone's men would have to focus on the Champions League game on Tuesday against Celtic.

When Atletico winning streak was stopped due to a sluggish performance which ended in defeat to Las Palmas, Girona actually appeared consistent and managed to make a comeback from Osasuna to secure three points. Girona managed to continue the trend of winning four times in a row which took them to the top of the standings, they have collected 31 points from 12 matches, three points ahead of Real Madrid who have only played 11 matches.
Girona performance was extraordinary, they were never afraid even though they were playing at their opponent's home ground. After trailing 2-1 in the 55th minute they managed to score three additional goals which made the match end 2-4. I hope Girona can maintain their performance until the end of the season, Their enthusiasm and teamwork can provide a surprise by becoming the new champions in La Liga.

Girona look like they will be able to successfully set the record this season of either winning the La Liga or qualification for the Champions league like Napoli did in the Serie A, with how well they are playing and keeping the pressure on big teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. They developed into the demands of the game because Osasuna is not an easy team and they were finally able to finish the game with four goals after a very close contest for dominance. Real Madrid will welcome Rayo Vallecano in a must win game.

To talk about winning La Liga, I think it's still too early to talk about it even though the opportunity is still open to them with the good performances they have shown. But to be in the Champions League it will be a greater opportunity, because they only need to be in 4th place at least to get a place in the Champions League.
The victory this week makes them even more promising, they did fall behind when entering the second half, precisely in the 55th minute, but in the 71st minute they were able to equalize and could turn 2 goals ahead in the last 10 minutes.

Girona  has really suprised everyone with their performance this season,it would be tough for them to win the Laliga trophy however they could maintain the top 4 position and quality for the UCL, to win the Laliga they need to be consistent for a long time as well as beating both Realmadrid and Barcelona, they could disturb Atletico Madrid but I doubt if they'll best Madrid or Barca,however I'm really impressed with their performance this season.

 Against Osasuna today they took everyone by suprise, they scored the opener but Osasuna came back to equalize and scored two goals, however Girona suprisenly scored 2 goals at 80 and 90 mins to seal the victory to be at the 1st place currently, however it might not  last very long cause Realmadrid would come back to their position when they play and win their next match.

[karabiber]

R.Sociedad beat Bunol with a single goal in the midweek cup match and were playing with their reserves. Therefore, they will be ready and rested for the league match this week. Girona, the shining team of La Liga, has attracted all the attention this year and the other teams have remained in the background. However, I think that R.Sociedad's starting eleven is among the best teams in La Liga as of this week. It is not a surprise that they are pushing for the top spot, but unlike in previous seasons, this time they look like a much more stable and balanced team with Kubo carrying the offensive line. Apart from Andre Silva and Tierney, who are both out with long-term injuries, they have no absentees.

Barcelona, on the other hand, couldn't stop Bellingham in El Clasico and suffered a disappointing defeat. The availability of De Jong and Gavi this week is a positive for them, but considering that they have dropped points in three of their five away games so far and have conceded two goals each to Mallorca and Granada, it's hard to count on a Barça win in Anoeta. I think R.Sociedad will leave their ground with a victory.

[AakZaki]

It's a surprise, but Atletico lost. I think Atletico can bring home 1 point. Because I see that La Palmas is also a pretty good team. They are in the top 10 at the moment. Atletico's defeat certainly made Real Madrid and Girona have equal points and have a distance of 3 points from Atletico. Actually, if Atletico win, they can be at the top of the temporary class. Indeed, in terms of play, La Palmas played very well, they were able to win directly 2-0 first. First defeat after 6 games without defeat. They should immediately concentrate for the UCL match against Celtic.

Before the game, Osasuna had no advantage over Girona in this game, I was already saying a win or draw will be better for Girona and here they are with another fantastic comeback into the game to win.
With the way they have accumulated points against smaller clubs, they're sending a massive shock to the big boys so they could be weary of them.

If they can get to draw against big sides then, they will maintain and last long amongst the top four clubs this season. They have also made the league Competitive and interesting. Congratulations to Girona in today's game, they deserve it.

@Velvet78, do you still remember our discussion about the odds in the Las Palmas - Atletico Madrid match?

Look at the results of the match now, in line with my expectations, there is something strange there, Atletico Madrid shouldn't get high odds otherwise something unexpected will happen. Even in this match, Las Palmas almost got a clean sheet if Morata didn't score at the end of the second half. I hope that people following our discussion yesterday follow my guidance not to bet on this match.

I understand that the unexpected odds and outcomes of the Atletico Madrid vs. Las Palmas match are concerning you. In light of Atletico Madrid's performance, it appears that your forecast is valid. As I saw, Atletico Madrid was just about spared humiliation by Alvaro Morata's equalizing goal, which brought his season total to seven. Throughout the game, his excellent understanding of timing and placement stood out.

Moreover, there is no denying Atletico Madrid's lack of consistency this year. I completely concur that you made a good recommendation to avoid placing a wager on this game, and I hope that other fans gave your advice careful thought.

I don't understand, are you saying that Atletico Madrid was spared some humiliation because they were able to draw in this match? Atletico Madrid actually lost the match. The final score was two – one. And that was really average performance from Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid was in good form recently. I don't think anyone actually expected that they were going to lose in this match. But that did end up happening. Now does it mean they will not have any chance to compete for the La Liga title? No. But that is definitely a setback for them.

I really like the way they are working this season, the 3 points they collect in each match will bring them to appear in the Champions League next season, it is not impossible for this to happen if their scenario continues by beating teams at or below their level. Girona consistency now directly threatens anyone in the top four of the standings, their 29 goal productivity also exceeds that of other clubs in La Liga, they just need to reduce the number of goals they concede in the future.

For the next three matches, Girona will face Rayo Vallecano, Bilbao and Valencia. I think Michel squad can continue its winning trend in these three matches. Only in week 16 will Girona face a strong team, namely Barcelona, their steps will really be tested there.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Girona continues to win, it's like a joke, but they continue to progress and win. If we look at the squad, they have a small squad next to giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona in terms of value, but they are currently the leader.

If they continue like this for the La-Liga league championship, I say maybe, but they cannot maintain this tempo, their rivals are very strong, but it may be UCL next year. Girona managed to beat Osasuna 4-2. They are really concise in their attacks. They had four shots on target and four goals in this match. It was great that Girona added excitement to La-Liga this year.

[xzone]

It's a surprise, but Atletico lost. I think Atletico can bring home 1 point. Because I see that La Palmas is also a pretty good team. They are in the top 10 at the moment. Atletico's defeat certainly made Real Madrid and Girona have equal points and have a distance of 3 points from Atletico. Actually, if Atletico win, they can be at the top of the temporary class. Indeed, in terms of play, La Palmas played very well, they were able to win directly 2-0 first. First defeat after 6 games without defeat. They should immediately concentrate for the UCL match against Celtic.

This defeat suffered by Atletico was very critical and important. They had not lost points for a long time and were in a very good place in the championship rankings, but the 3 points lost caused the gap to widen.
When we look at the goals, we can say that Las Palmas was lucky. In the first goal they scored, the ball was about to go out at the beginning of the position, but they turned at the last second and scored. The second goal they scored was scored because Atletico's goalkeeper was ineffective. I think the star player of the match was Las Palmas' goalkeeper. He made some great saves and played a big role in his team getting 3 points from this match. Of course, it was his lucky day

[hahay]

It was great that Girona added excitement to La-Liga this year.

By the time Girona were 2-1 down in the 55th minute, then I was starting to think it maybe a failure for Girona to get any points this match. But ya, again and again Girona managed to win and the great thing is, Girona managed to make 3 goal after being 2-1 down and in the end Girona managed to win with a score of 2-4. Obviously, Girona this season really cannot be underestimated because in fact, at this moment Girona is better than Atletico and Barcelona. So yes, even though for example Girona failed to maintain the top position, but of course Girona this season will manage to finish in the top four. But I think ofcourse, it will be more interesting if for example Girona manage to get the La Liga trophy this season and if that happens, of course it will be a big surprise.

Correct. Girona always gives surprises, maybe they are motivated to maintain their position in the standings, they don't want to make mistakes that cause them to lose or draw, that's why they always perform well in every match. This Girona is really impressive, the surprise of the first half of the season They are amazing. This Girona side is just crazy. The second time they came back in spectacular fashion, and teamwork at its best.

If Real Madrid don't win the League, I wouldn't be sad if Girona did. It's always exciting when a team goes out and achieves the unthinkable like Leicester.

As it should be for them, Girona as a team reminds me of Leicester City during the season they returned to the Premier League and win the Premier League that same season with determination, hardwork and togetherness amongst the players.
I'm not saying Girona would do that though, but they have accumulated good points from lower clubs. Girona qualification to the Champions League has got to be sorted by themselves they have to fight ti the end to do that!

They will face three soft but hard club before facing the rougher and tougher opponents who is Barcelona. Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Atletico Bilbao are good sides but with same form they can get to win two and draw one of them.
