La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[dzungmobile]

Girona's performance this season has been surprising, no one even thought they would be this good. Real Madrid, who were previously held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano, had to resign themselves to dropping to second place. Girona is 2 points ahead of Real Madrid, while Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also have the same points difference in their respective rankings. Each team has a difference of 2 points, but the competition will certainly be very tight after this.

They are making great things and they can enjoy their achievement match by match until their good form will be broken. This season is so beautiful and amazing for Girona and with great performances in this season, some of their players will open their brighter future by gaining attention from big clubs. After this season ending, Girona will face with serious wave of player out and they will struggle in a next season.

I don't think Girona can maintain their form until the end of the season, but anything can happen like Leicester winning the Premier League title a few seasons ago. Girona has a chance, but other teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are a big challenge for them.

It's normal to say Girona will not be able to maintain their good form but even they can not win La Liga, can not end this season in top four of La Liga, this season will be already amazing for them. They will have to focus on rest matches of the first half of season and try to complete their mission to avoid delegation in this season. When they complete this task, they can start to think of bigger target, higher ending position in this season. A position that allows them to join either UEFA Conference League or Europa League in a next season will be great enough for Girona.

I watched Real Madrid's match after a long time, but I didn't like it at all. He could not beat Vallecano, the weak team of the league. Many bettors thought that Real Madrid would win differently in this match and many people lost their bets. I also preferred this match in case Arda Güler would come into the game later, but Ancelotti did not choose the young star who had just recovered from his injury. We will wait for the next match

This is the essence of football, where unexpected outcomes occur. If stronger teams always defeated weaker ones, the beauty of football would be lost. It's worth mentioning that the Real players missed numerous opportunities in the match. They maintained a good performance but struggled to convert those chances into goals. I believe that games like this one will encourage them to reevaluate their playing style and work on self-improvement.

Joao Felix was actually impressive for Barcelona in his first four or five games for the club but hasn't been living up to the expectations in his recent games for the club but I don't think it was the reason why the club manager cave Hernandez substituted him in the game against Real Sociedad.

Joao Felix displayed signs of injury in a few recent matches. It might not have been a major injury, which is why he continued to play. Nonetheless, I believe it has somewhat impacted his performance.

There are many surprises that happen in football, but what happened to Real Madrid was a big surprise that not many people thought would happen.
So many people lost their bets, including me.

Playing in front of their own fans but the big Real Madrid team failed to win against the lower teams, isn't that a shame, I think Ancelotti should be blamed here, he didn't make any changes when he saw that Real Madrid's front line was having difficulty scoring goals.
A team as big as Real Madrid doesn't have a capable striker this season, this is something that is rarely seen, I really hope Ancelotti will get a new striker in the January transfer.

Athletic Bilbao managed to come out of a tough Villareal away with a win. The away team started the match fast and scored 3 goals in the first half to take the lead. Although Villareal actually had a good squad, they couldn't find their form. While the match ended 3-2 with Bilbao's superiority, Villareal scored 2 goals in the last 6 minutes.
Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano ended in a goalless draw. Both teams struggled to find goals despite being in form in the last few weeks. Real Madrid played dominant at home, but wasted a lot of chances.

Even though I predicted that Villareal would indeed lose to Athletic Bilbao. But I didn't expect that Bilbao could score 3 goals in the first half. Villareal has been really bad this season. Even though last season Villareal were able to end the season quite well by being ranked 5th. But now they are even out of the top 10. And currently Villareal is ranked 13th. Because they have only got 3 wins in 12 matches. And the rest are 6 defeats and 3 draws.

But what was even more surprising happened in the Real Madrid vs Rayo match. But things like this sometimes happen quite often where the favorite team is unable to score goals and can only share points. It's just that usually Real Madrid always performs better in front of its own fans. But in this match, too many opportunities were wasted. Even though I am really looking forward to Bellingham scoring another goal in this match. Rayo really made a pretty solid defense. But actually the Real Madrid squad found many gaps in Rayo's defense. It's just that it is very difficult to maximize opportunities in Rayo's fairly strong defense area.

Girona really surprised us, they become a strong team this season. They beat Osasuna and scored 4 goals, it makes Girona to lead the La Liga standings. Real Madrid failed to win the match against Rayo Vallecano, so Girona is safe in the first place temporarily. Although we don't know whether Girona to end this season in the 1st place, but it is a new record that Girona can lead the table temporarily now.

Girona's performance this season has been surprising, no one even thought they would be this good. Real Madrid, who were previously held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano, had to resign themselves to dropping to second place. Girona is 2 points ahead of Real Madrid, while Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also have the same points difference in their respective rankings. Each team has a difference of 2 points, but the competition will certainly be very tight after this.

I don't think Girona can maintain their form until the end of the season, but anything can happen like Leicester winning the Premier League title a few seasons ago. Girona has a chance, but other teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are a big challenge for them.

Girona feels like it's living a dream right now. Leicester won the Premier League title, why shouldn't something similar happen in La Liga? Girona is an important team and if they win the championship, there is a possibility that we will see important players of the team in important teams in Europe next year. Even this possible outcome is enough to motivate the players.

Real Madrid a bit unlucky i think because since the beginning of match Real Madrid didn't stop to playing attacking and they got several good opportunities to scores from Joselu, Valverde, or Camavinga but unfortunately these players was failed to scores until the match ended besides that Rayo know the strength of Real Madrid so that's why since the beginning of first half Rayo don't want to playing attacking and focusing to defense because their target is want to stole 1 point from Real Madrid and their target was accomplished because the match have to ended draw

On the other hand Getafe has just successfully to resumes their unbeated records and gets their important winning from Cadiz that playing with 10 players since second half Getafe was playing slightly under pressure but Borja Mayoral can able to scored from free kick and make Getafe can collect 3 points from this match

[Blitzboy]

From what I felt after watching this match, Real Madrid's overall performance was similar to the previous matches. Only Bellingham's performance has been slightly weaker. And Bellingham's poor performance kept Madrid from winning. Madrid had 63% ball possession in this match. A total of 22 shots on goal, while Rayo Vallecano's players made only 4. I would say because the team was dependent on Bellingham's performance. So the impact of Bellingham not playing well has been seen in the overall squad. While Joselu managed to hit some good shots, Vini's performance was as usual very poor.

So far I can say Jude Bellingham is the best signing of the summer because he has transformed Real Madrid to a more deadly attacking side. His goal contributions this season are superb, what a brilliant way to kick start his Madrid career and if he goes on like this I bet he will be the next big name in the game in this generation.

But I have to say that calling Jude Bellingham the best summer deal might be a bit early, but I support that view! I've watched every Real Madrid game he's played in and cant deny his effect. Its not easy for someone his age to go from playing middle to being a key attacking force. I wasnt sure about him because Real already has a great team, but he's fit right in. I think he's not only on the way to becoming a big name, but also a football hero if he keeps going in this direction. I saw the game against Rayo Vallecano, and even though there were no goals, his play was a bright spot in what was otherwise a difficult game for Madrid.

Real Madrid were able to attack to score a couple of goals from the second half of the game but more attacks were against them.  Real Madrid's performance yesterday was not very good. And because they could not win this match, they fell further behind Girona. Girona have been playing very well in La Liga this season and are well ahead. And Real Madrid and Barcelona are far behind them. So it was much needed for Real Madrid to win this match.

The match between Real Madrid and Vallecano caused big surprises. Those who expected Real to score a lot of goals against Rayo were wrong and neither team managed to score a goal in the match. Maybe Ancelotti didn't want to take too much risk for the UCL game. As a result, they lost 2 points and this took them out of the league leadership.

quite a reasonable statement and in fact Girona does have the opportunity to win the title in La Liga to eliminate the boredom when every season you only see Barcelona or Real Madrid leading at the top of the standings and I cannot deny that Girona can reach the top of the standings with good performance. quite consistent because Girona does not have scheduled matches in other competitions unlike Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid who currently have to focus on several competitions and this opportunity is utilized very well by Girona and it is very surprising after the return of this team in the season 2017/2018 is only this season which is able to provide extraordinary achievements.

yeah.. calling a player/signing the best at early season is too soon, in fact his high price and expectation align to his current form, so its not surprising. but appreciation to a new player that gives big impact immediately to a big club is well deserved. he's not only the future of RMadrid, but also the future of England and football.
but I think his current role is not sustainable, he's not going to keep scoring every game, madrid need a new world class striker to fulfill his ability at midfield as central midfielder after Modric/Kroos retired. I think that's madrid's plan.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who are pushing for leadership in the league, will have UCL matches and will have to rest some of their players in the league in order to show high performance in these matches. In this case, they may lose points. Girona needs to evaluate this. If Girona goes without losses, they can increase the point difference even further. Especially Real Madrid may lose a lot of points as a result of Bellingham's possible injury.

Since none of the teams you mentioned can afford to give some of their most important players a rest, I doubt that your assumption will turn out to be correct. Players who have to take a break because of injuries pr bad physical conditions will of course get their needed break, but all other players who are fully available and fit will also play. I would be surprised if one of the coaches decides to let some of the best players sit on the bench, risking to lose important points in the fight for the La Liga title. It never worked that way and I am sure this is the case to date.

The draw between Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano was very surprising. Surely many people lost their bets on that match. But the draw actually brought big benefits to Girona, who are currently at the top of the standings. Now Girona has 31 points and is ranked 1st in the standings. Meanwhile, Real Madrid only has 29 points at the moment. A difference of 2 points may not be a big difference. But if Girona continues to win in every upcoming match, this will make Girona comfortably stay in first place.

Real Madrid was able to be held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano. So next week it will be Girona's turn to face Rayo Vallecano. I think we will all be very curious about the results of next week's match. Will Girona have the same fate as Real Madrid or will Girona be able to beat Rayo Vallecano quite well. I can't wait for next week's match.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will play in the Champions League. And it will be a bit difficult for them to consistently perform well in both places. Girona, on the other hand, does not have a BC schedule. They are only focused on La Liga matches. And this is why the team has been able to maintain the consistency of performance. Girona's performances have surprised everyone this season. No one imagined that this team would be able to hold the top spot in the points table for so long.
Bellingham has suffered an injury, but not a major one. Bellingham may not play against Braga in the Champions League. But Bellingham may be with the squad in the next La Liga's match.

But I have to say that calling Jude Bellingham the best summer deal might be a bit early, but I support that view! I've watched every Real Madrid game he's played in and cant deny his effect.

With the performance Jude Bellingham has displayed so far in the league and his great impact on the Real Madrid team, I think calling his name the best signing is not a bad thing because he has already proven it more than any other new signing in the league.
Madrid needs a world-class striker to properly lead the team to glory this season. If they sign a world-class striker, Bellingham will be playing a free role and will contribute more when playing as a supportive striker because he will be scoring goals and the striker will also be scoring goals; it will be like Benzema and Ronaldo's combination back then..

Then you have just  be watching Jude Bellingham you need to look all other leagues  before  coming  to conclusion about who the best signatures around  the various leagues should  go too. Jude has been the finest in La liga but not the entire leagues in the world he has carried Real Madrid well and scored important goals when they need to be scored.
Harry Kane to me remains the best around the various leagues he has scored hat tricks for the third time and has broken records in the bundesliga. Both Jude and Kane are both sweet signings they have done well and deserves accolades.

[RockBell]

Girona have taken the lead from Real Madrid!    It is really difficult to believe normally but it has happened. Girona are making this league even more exciting right now honestly. Despite leaving twelve weeks behind they still manage to be in the race for the league title. They aren't strong against big teams though.

However as long as they continue to win against low or mid-level opponents during the season they should be more than fine. They are already way above their target for this season. They make an impression like they can finish the season in top 4 for now.

Girona is showing consistency and try as much has possible to win all there games, a flipped as occurred between them and Real Madrid, with Girona leading Madrid with two points Girona is having 31 point while real Madrid is having 29 point, Madrid can still flipp back any time soon looking at the number of points, Girona are good and i feel they are the only challenge that real Madrid has. Girona performance is full of entertainment and the same way Tottenham is doing wonders in premier league so is Girona and their is a chance that Girona might win the la Liga, and their opponent will determine how everything will go for them because their are opponent that are tough and meeting such opponent consistently will not go well for them especially if they keep loosing points.

The match between Real Madrid and Vallecano caused big surprises. Those who expected Real to score a lot of goals against Rayo were wrong and neither team managed to score a goal in the match. Maybe Ancelotti didn't want to take too much risk for the UCL game. As a result, they lost 2 points and this took them out of the league leadership.

Being knocked out of league leadership due to a draw with Rayo Vallecano is not that big of a problem for a team like Real Madrid, because they still have plenty of time to catch Girona who is currently at the top of the standings. But for tomorrow's match in the UCL, I think Ancelotti will take the match quite seriously even though the opponent is SC Braga. Because this season Real Madrid will continue to focus on two big competitions apart from the Super Cup.

Rayo Vallecano are not the weakest club in La Liga right now... They have good statistics of away games, five of which they have not lost... And of course the Champions League also influenced this result... Madrid did not take any risks before the game with Braga, where they should be guaranteed three points...
