La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Swordsoffreedom]

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.

This is what makes it difficult for Atletico Madrid to compete in the LaLiga, they always waste points against teams that can be said to be weak, Atletico Madrid underestimate their opponents, they keep playing too late to get up, that's the result, if they want to equal points with Real Madrid, they end up falling. But when they face strong teams they are always serious, this team cannot be consistent every year. That's why I will always say that the only teams that are really serious about winning the league are Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even though currently Girona are still at the top of the standings, I'm sure they won't last long.
A painful defeat of course means they have to give up the possibility of becoming leaders together with Real Madrid and Girona. Congratulations Las Palmas played a great game.

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.

The match that Atlético Madrid lost is the most criticized match. How did they lose against a team like Atlético Madrid where Barcelona are Real Madrid's toughest rivals? I don't think I've ever seen a complete game against Atletico Madrid. Even if the team I support is playing, I don't watch the whole match because I believe that the team I support will surely win against this team. Such a defeat for Atletico Madrid is really disappointing. The team that Atletico Madrid lost to is a much weaker team than Atletico Madrid, so a performance like that against a team like that is never acceptable. Players and managers must answer to the team management why they lost this match.

This was an unexpected result. I would say it was a disaster for  Atlético Madrid. Las Palmas is a relatively weak team. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid were in very good form. Atlético Madrid is consistently  performing well. And if they win this match, the top spot in the table would be occupied by Atlético Madrid. They  missed the opportunity. I don't think Atletico Madrid's performance was bad in this match. They were quite unlucky.

However  Girona are now top of the points table with  31 points from 12 matches. This team has been able to  maintain continuity. Real Madrid is in second place with 2 8 points in 11 matches. And  Barcelona is in third place with 27  points from 12 matches. Barcelona is still far behind.

Araújo saved the night. Classy assist by Gündoğan as well. Gündoğan is leading this young team and sometimes he gets very angry, this is pretty normal. They want to win and simple mistakes drive him crazy. Real Sociedad played very well today, but Barca got 3 points with the single goal in extra time. If they become champions at the end of the season, today's match will be one to remember. Ter Stegen was announced as man of the match but I think it was Araújo.

Last match, when Barcelona defeating by Real Madrid İlkay Gündoğan most angry with his team mates not focus keep defend their winning after leading firs half 1-0, its normal because İlkay Gündoğan player typical with all out fighting and he want give best result for Barcelona. Last night his assist helped Barcelona take three points against Real Sociedad and keep pressure Girona and Real Madrid on top position standings.

Real Madrid will play tonight against Rayo Vallecano, its not difficult make gap points with Barcelona become 4 points and take first position from Girona, I think Barcelona have focus make pressure and close points with Girona or Real Madrid if want defend their La Liga tittle in this season.

I really understand how Gundogan is very passionate and enthusiastic about helping Barcelona to always win and get to the top of the standings again and I also know that Gundogan will continue to strive with his current ambition to continue to make his best contribution but I have to say that Gundogan does not need to be too angry because in long term can lose control with anger like that there will be a negative impact on his teammates. but I still admit that Barcelona performance was quite good, even though they only narrowly won against Real Sociedad, at least 3 points can still be secured.

Its quite easy to beat Rayo as long as Bellingham, Vinic and Rodrygo have to appear in this match who will score at least 2 winning scores to take the top position in the standings which is currently controlled by Girona. It seems like only Real Madrid and Barcelona are able to break Girona dominance because its really not funny that La Liga is controlled by Girona which for me is still too early but I am quite impressed with Girona performance yesterday winning with a big score beating Osasuna and it looks like Girona current strength is true. really shook the La Liga standings and I still have confidence that Real Madrid will break Girona dominance.

Ter Stegan winning the man of the match is deserved but if it were left to me I'll give it to Gundugan. He was the only Barcelona midfielder that was impressive. He did lose some balls but he was the only one doing something right.
This game became tough on Barcelona because of Xavi. First of all, he shouldn't have started the game with 5 defenders, using Cancelo as a wing-back. It was unnecessary. I know he's still experimenting but he shouldn't have done that.
Secondly, why was Barcelona playing so many long balls? Why couldn't they play short and progressive passes like they always do?

I feel sorry for Real Sociedad. They don't deserve to lose this game. They should have gotten at least a draw. The problem is they didn't have a natural striker and as good as Oyazabel was, he's not a natural striker.
Congrats to Barcelona though, a loss would have been bad for them because Girona and Madrid are already ahead of them.

Ter Stegan made some quality saves for Barcelona to keep the game leveled until Barcelona found a way finally to put that goal at the back of the net.
Gundogans importance in the club can not be overlooked, he brings so much balance and quality in the game. Midfielder's who get that paranoid in games have standards, yes it's good to control your emotions but if you don't play to that high standard how do you win and maintain balance.

Long balls gave you the win last night, No? Lol.
I don't want to say too much, but I honestly hope Barcelona gets to the top. I'd love to see them successfully defending the La Liga Spanish League tittle.

Yeah it is incredible what Girona is doing and I hope they could keep up this good rythme until the end of the season. Winning with 2 goals difference in an away match is always good.
In the other hand, the defeat of Atletico Madrid was unexpected even if they were playing an away game.. The table was about to look different if Barcelona got the draw against Real Sociedad but they managed to win in extra time. It was an opportunity for Girona and Real Madrid to run by 6 points difference especially with the draw of Atletico Madrid.

girona is the best team in the spanish league for this week, honestly, I don't know what power got to them lol, see how Girona beat Osasuna with a score of 4-2, if you look at the match statistics, Girona produced 4 "shots on goal", that means they scored goals with a percentage of 100% when they were in front of the goal. The teams in the top 3 have only lost once each, this is really unexpected, Girona's next opponent is Rayo, I don't know whether they will be able to maintain their good performance, Rayo is also not an easy team to beat.

Girona is always having very good accuracy when doing attacks against its opponent except real madrid. This club is always losing a lot when girona was facing real madrid. There are some developments have already happened in the attacking lines of girona at this moment.
It feels like this club tries so hard in improving its performance. Girona potentially to stay at the top 4 till the end of season. I consider that this club as city's brother cuz girona is in the same football group with manchester city.

The management of manchester city can also be implemented in girona as well. Im thinking about this club is slowly but surely become nightmare for real madrid and barcelona in any season.
There will be another atletico madrid that sometimes can threatening madrid and barcelona, it's girona. Im feel so happy with the performance from girona. People are also having same impression as me regarding the performance from girona for current season.
The only problem if girona's defensive line is not that good. There must be some adjustments to be made by its coach for the club.

I dunno where the heck this club is getting such massive strength.

Marc-André ter Stegen performance was quite impressive, he managed to make several brilliant saves to keep Barcelona's goal from being conceded.
Overall I don't think Barcelona's performance was that good in this match and the goal at the end of the match was lucky for them to get 3 points.

If you want to maintain the La Liga title then there are a lot of things that must be fixed in the Barcelona team, if not and their performance does not improve then I think it will be very difficult for Barcelona to be able to defend the La Liga title.

What an outstanding performance! I watched the match, and they came from behind to defeat Osasuna. With this win, they've gone 3 points clear at the top of La Liga. Girona is on fire, and they're definitely enjoying their best moments in La Liga. The team is amazing, but they might face defeats from the league giants. The season is still long, and I have my doubts about whether they can even secure a top-4 position by the end of the season. It's likely that either Madrid or Barcelona will win the trophy.

[klidex]

This was an unexpected result. I would say it was a disaster for  Atlético Madrid. Las Palmas is a relatively weak team. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid were in very good form. Atlético Madrid is consistently  performing well. And if they win this match, the top spot in the table would be occupied by Atlético Madrid. They  missed the opportunity. I don't think Atletico Madrid's performance was bad in this match. They were quite unlucky.

However  Girona are now top of the points table with  31 points from 12 matches. This team has been able to  maintain continuity. Real Madrid is in second place with 2 8 points in 11 matches. And  Barcelona is in third place with 27  points from 12 matches. Barcelona is still far behind.

Yes, it's a shame that Atletico Madrid had to suffer defeat and miss the opportunity to at least occupy 3rd place, replacing Barcelona.
This defeat is Atletico Madrid second defeat after Valencia in its last 11 matches. I don't understand why Atletico Madrid is experiencing difficulties when facing an average club, but is strongs when facing an elite club like Real Madrid. I hope that with this defeat, Diego Simeone is able to make the club appear consistently in the future improving the team performance and appearing impressive in La Liga and the Champions League.

Girona has performed extraordinary this season and continues to create consecutive win, but hopefully Girona will continue to perform consistently like this and not experience a significant decline so that next season Girona will be able to enter the Champions League qualifying round.

Girona did well to return to form with a comfortable win after a back-and-forth scoring campaign in yesterday's match but in the end they were still very consistent and managed to keep the 3 points for themselves.
Today we'll be looking at Madrid because given Atletico's shock defeat and Barcelona's struggles and even having to play until 90+2 to get a goal this week, it will be interesting to see what Madrid will show today.
Rayo aren't strong opponents but if you underestimate them it could be tricky especially as Madrid will want to do well at the Bernabeu as they need to reclaim the spot Girona took yesterday so I'm still pretty confident of 3 points for Madrid.

Games are like that, you win some, draw some and lose some but the most disappointing are the matches we expect too much from a club and they end up not giving a suberb performance.
Atletico Madrid in their own good form should have won Las Pamas but they couldn't, Las Pamas also played better, controlled the game better. I think more credits should be given to em for how they did rather than throwing shades on Atletico Madrid.

Girona may likely stay the amongst the top four clubs that'll sit there until next year, they haven't played too many bigger clubs but have done well against much smaller clubs.
Sevilla since the appointment of a new coach haven't been impressive still, they've seen more draw than than win and lose in combination.

[rendravolt]

This is a list of players that Real Madrid will bring against Rayo Vallecano today and it can be seen from this list that there are players who are eagerly awaiting their debut with Real Madrid. He is Arda Guler who has recovered from injury and has been doing training sessions in the past few days. We will definitely see the Turkish wonderkid's debut in the match and maybe he will come on as a substitute in the second half.

Talking about the Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano match, it is actually quite clear that Real Madrid will win for sure and in H2H terms Real Madrid is actually quite far ahead and when Real Madrid are the hosts they always win against Rayo Vallecano. It looks like this will be a difficult match for Rayo Vallecano and considering that Real Madrid has to take the top of the standings again from Girona, they must be able to get 3 points in this match. Well, at least a win with a score of 3-1 is enough for Real Madrid to remain at the top of the La Liga standings this week.

Girona are back in the lead and Real need to win again to regain top spot. Rayo Vallecano plays many matches in a draw, they are not the weakest opponents, but at the Bernabeu they will lose to Real Madrid. Barcelona, understanding the importance of the victory, was still able to defeat Sociedad, but it was a difficult victory in extra time. And Real must win, because Girona cannot be let go, in this form they can gain a foothold at the top of the table if they are allowed to do so.

I agree with you and some could say that Barcelona have been lucky bastards yesterday, but it was ter Stegen who won that game for them. Scoring that goal so late was lucky and Real Sociedad would have deserved that win also.

But the more important part of what you said is that Barcelona has to fix a lot of things. Yes they have won this game, but the result does by no means reflect that they played a well. If they have ambitious goals for this season, this was the last call for them to change something because they won't score the goal in the last minute of the game every game.

It is very clear, if Madrid stumbles with defeat or is forced to draw by Rayo then Girona will be comfortable at the top of the standings. It is very clear that Girona poses a direct threat to the top four teams in La Liga, that they should not be underestimated by anyone this time. Victory is a must for Los Blancos to reclaim the top of the standings, and should be achieved easily because the match will be played at the Bernabeu. Rayo should not be underestimated, because they also have the ambition to get close to the top four in the standings.

Another match that is no less interesting is Alaves versus Almeria, a battle of fate to stay away from the degradation zone. Almeria position is quite tragic because they have never won a single win in the 11 matches they have played, this time they are ambitious to get their first win.

It's not that hard for real madrid to beat rayo. I think that madrid will be able to get a cleansheet against rayo very soon. Real madrid is in the race to get the la liga title for the currents season.
The list of players has been published above, but there's no confirmation regarding what line up will be used by ancelotti to face rayo vallecano. Rayo was a weak team but real madrid shall not underestimate it at this moment. Rayo can give surprise and madrid needs to be fully prepared to face a surprise that may come to the rayo vallecano. Real madrid's odds was pretty small but this can give us money without putting our money into the high risk. Real madrid is likely using the same line up like the previous match.
There will be no a lot of changes to happen with real madrid at this moment. The club is trying so hard to become better but i think we will see rodrygo, bellingham and vini to play as starting line up.

[bitLeap]

Araújo saved the night. Classy assist by Gündoğan as well. Gündoğan is leading this young team and sometimes he gets very angry, this is pretty normal. They want to win and simple mistakes drive him crazy. Real Sociedad played very well today, but Barca got 3 points with the single goal in extra time. If they become champions at the end of the season, today's match will be one to remember. Ter Stegen was announced as man of the match but I think it was Araújo.

Yes Ronald Araujo saved Barcelona from defeat in this match, his only goal which he created in the 90+ minute was the goal that brought Barcelona home 3 points from Real Soceidad headquarters. I thought it was going to be a goalless game after no goals were scored in the last 10 mintes. But the goal came in stoppage time which was a nightmare for Real Sociedad. This result made Barcelona win again after last week they had to lose in the El Clasico derby.

Girona are back in the lead and Real need to win again to regain top spot. Rayo Vallecano plays many matches in a draw, they are not the weakest opponents, but at the Bernabeu they will lose to Real Madrid. Barcelona, understanding the importance of the victory, was still able to defeat Sociedad, but it was a difficult victory in extra time. And Real must win, because Girona cannot be let go, in this form they can gain a foothold at the top of the table if they are allowed to do so.

Girona have been outstanding this season, especially up until week 12, as win after win has put them top of the table now, at least before Real Madrid's game this week against Rayo Vallecano. This week's victory was also remarkable, they were behind, but they were able to turn things around and ensure victory for them at Osasuna headquarters. Real Madrid and Barcelona must be careful with this team, because they can surprise this season and it is not impossible that they will become champions, yes, although they still have a long way to go to do that.

Yeah, in terms of creation and link up plays Barcelona didn't do more of that they dumped their legendary short one to three passes to break midfielder's and defenses. I feel like  Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez is still learning and practicing tactics with clubs he feel like he can manage to get a win.

The league Is not far gone , I agree with you and there is enough room for improvements, they have from now till the end of December to get themselves in a good shape. They don't look good and so has the attackers likewise.
Former Barcelona player  ( Ivan Rakitic ) failed to score a late winner for his club yesterday, he shot the shot blazing into the sky with the ball yet to return to the ground. They shouldn't joke with La Liga games!

[naira]

It seems like only Real Madrid and Barcelona are able to break Girona dominance because its really not funny that La Liga is controlled by Girona which for me is still too early but I am quite impressed with Girona performance yesterday winning with a big score beating Osasuna and it looks like Girona current strength is true. really shook the La Liga standings and I still have confidence that Real Madrid will break Girona dominance.

However, Girona's existence cannot be underestimated any longer. They came with extraordinary fighting spirit so they were able to secure their position in the standings. Girona is aware that they cannot beat Madrid or Barcelona, but they can still take advantage of the competitive situation between Barcelona and Madrid so that their existence is not noticed by the two clubs. Even though they didn't finish in first place, Girona will not feel disappointed, based on the process they are going through, at least they can still reach the top 5 positions. This means that last season, which was only able to finish in the top 10 and this season it managed to occupy the top 5, has shown progress in a better direction. It wouldn't be surprising if Girona's dominance was broken by Madrid or Barcelona, because in La Liga we all know clubs that subscribe to lifting trophies.

[Luzin]

It is very clear, if Madrid stumbles with defeat or is forced to draw by Rayo then Girona will be comfortable at the top of the standings. It is very clear that Girona poses a direct threat to the top four teams in La Liga, that they should not be underestimated by anyone this time.

I am optimistic that Real Madrid Will win. Moreover, they have Bellingham and I read Guller is ready to debut. I'm looking forward to this, because I want to see Guller play. Real Madrid will play at the Bernabeu so they have a better mentality. If you look statistically I firmly believe Madrid are still favourites to win. Their last 3 matches Madrid have always won, even if only one goal difference.

Arda Guler is a very young player. His first debut in Madrid will certainly be extraordinary. perhaps he will be given a chance in the second half to show his skills. However, he has to compete with several names in the Madrid team. it may not be easy, but because he came to Madrid at a very young age. Of course, there is something special that he has that makes the coach want to play him in the team. I hope it doesn't disappoint later.

[swogerino]

I never expected Barcelona to win against Real Sociedad at Sociedad home yesterday night based on their recent form but I think it is exactly these type of games that makes a difference between which team is for real one of the strongest and with the most experience.Now Real Sociedad should think that they will be doing OK if they end up in a Champions League spot during this season although judging from the form of Barcelona,Girona,Atl.Madrid and Real Madrid things look pretty complicated for them to achieve such achievement,so most likely they should be happy with an Europa League spot which is something that they can achieve easily.
