La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Jody.Drummer]

About Lewandowski, im very surprised by his bad performance in this last run, i dont know what is happening to him , or also the team is not prividing him with good balloons so he can strike.

I think is his last season at Barcelona, i dont know if he is gonna move on summer, because what other highg class forward you can go to find to replace him?

It is Lewandowski own desire to play at Barcelona and also, Lewandowski is under a fairly long contract at Barcelona until 2026, while Lewandowski age is no longer young . With these factors, then I sure Lewandowski will not leave that quickly because after all, it seems Lewandowski has a high interest in playing at Barcelona . So ya, it doesn't matter that Barcelona lost and or Lewandowski played badly in his last match because of course, Barcelona also still has a good chance to qualify for the last 16 in the Champions League. Also in La Liga, although this season Barcelona is not as good as last season with great dominance in La Liga, but at least Barcelona is also still fine because Barcelona can compete well in the top four positions in La Liga this seasons.

Yes Barcelona is the club he wanted when he was at Bayern MUnich, even he insisted on being able to join Barcelona at that time. Regarding his performance, yes there is a decline that he shows from his performance, but it is something natural. We cannot expect players to always perform well in every match, there will definitely be ups and downs in their performance. But when talking about leaving Barcelona, I don't think it's that fast. Barcelona also still need him, even though now he is not in good form.

He's a good lad. Unfortunately, he's aging, and his recent performance indicates that football is gradually leaving him. Robert Lewandowski hasn't scored in his last 6 games for Barcelona in all competitions, and this is something alarming. Barcelona needs a supporting striker; he's old and no longer hustles for the ball like he used to. I won't blame Lewandowski entirely for his lack of goals; Barca also lacks effective wingers. Despite this, Barca can still compete both in UCL and Laliga.

I have a slightly different opinion looking at and analyzing Girona upcoming match against Rayo, it is likely that it will not end in a draw and the chances of victory will be greater for Girona even though Rayo succeeded in holding off Real Madrid attack, but against Girona I believe the surprise will come when Girona manages to beat Rayo and will have difficulty ending the match in a draw.

I have not seen what the odds are for Girona and Rayo but I am sure Girona will win.

I can't believe a club like Girona that just moved up from relegation barely a year ago could have done the great things they've already done. In the last season, they finished 10th on the table just after being promoted. Maybe that was to stabilise themselves and get acquainted with the La Liga 1st division, however, what is happening now shows that they really understand the game and I don't see them ending this season lower than the 4th position if they continue like this. They've been impressive even in the friendly matches and have beaten unexpected teams this season. Therefore, I will not think less of such a club to beat Rayo Vallecano which has had a lower rating than them.

But I will still not limit praises on Rayo Vallecano as they are so good with their defence and have tried to concede fewer goals recently. It would be more tasking for Girona to slice through their defense which is another issue at hand. But the good news is that the scoring sense of Rayo Vallecano is also weak, a moderate defence from Girona might be an issue for them to penetrate as well. Meaning that if Girona could mount more pressure on Rayo Vallecano's defence, they may not score much but they might score at least once and a maximum of 2 goals.

Rayo Vallecano has been able to avoid any loss in the last five matches. I understand that's why a lot of people are thinking they will probably be able to get one point from the match against Girona as well. And I actually have a feeling that they are going to go for a draw in this match. I don’t think they are actually going to push for a win. That’s why I think that probably there is a chance where this match will end in a draw. But I do not expect Girona to lose this match. They should be able to win this match and stay at the top of the table. My prediction is also that Girona is going to win.

He's gone six games without a goal for Barcelona, that alone is enough for fans to complain and comment on his form for Barcelona even before his injury.
He should be given some time to get back himself, but before he got Injured, he failed to score in three games. They remain at home to face Alaves.

Robert Lewandoski would be going nowhere and Barcelona management won't be sacking Xavi Hernandez. They're are not joking about there, Xavi Hernandez is doing his best to get the lads working well together.
If Robert Lewandoski is not scoring goals no more them you have to also question the midfielder's and how many chances they have created for him this season to score.

[Belarge]

If you have noticed there is some decline in Real Madrid's performance in the league for a couple of weeks. It is more like an inconsistency actually because there is an example like a win in the El Clasico recently as well. They couldn't beat Vallecano the last time no matter how hard they tried. It was quite unexpected.

Real Madrid draw tie against Rayo Vallecano was not expected, because Los Blancos apply all pressures to net a goal, I would comment that they were just unlucky on the pitch. Vallecano was really happy to hold down Real Madrid to show the high level of competitive strength. Carlo Ancelotti is placing incredible effort to execute formidable performance for Real Madrid this season. He has eyes on La Liga trophy and also for the major trophy, which is the UEFA Champions League and Los Blancos will do everything within their capacity to achieve their aim. Real Madrid performance is still balance and they keep constant sights on achieving their priorities this season.

[Leviathan.007]

The performance of Lewandowski in Barcelona has been very disappointing so far in this season and this play didn't start the season well. Maybe it would have been better for him and Barcelona if this player had left Barcelona for the Arabian teams during last summer because so far Lewandowski hasn't scored a single goal in the six games and this is enough to say Lewandowski is under pressure in Barcelona. The last time this player was in bad form was in 2011 when Lewandowski couldn't score a goal in six games and this is happening again.

I think it's natural that Lewandowski has experienced a decline in performance because he has just recovered from his injury and on average players who are injured definitely experience a decline in performance, but I hope that Lewandowski will return to his best performance this season and make a contribution to the Barcelona club and can be relied on by Xavi Hernandez to becomed a goal scoring machine for the club, and to be honest, after Lewandowski suffered an injury and recovered, Barcelona struggled a bit especially after losing in the El Clasico matches.

We should not forget they there is too much pressure on Robert Lewandowski. In fact, this player is the only player at this level as a forward in Barcelona and this can put him under more pressure to have a good performance which can cause this player to get injured more than other players, I think Barcelona had to start thinking about an alternative player for Lewandowski even during the last summer and now they have to hire another forward in the incoming winter to improve the team.

Age really determines performance and we must understand that this does not only happen to Lewandowski, so the goal productivity is no longer the same as before. However, this impact has an impact on the team, so Xavi must be able to find the right formula to fill the striker role when Lewandowski performs below standard. In this way, Barcelona can be stable in every match and continue to compete in the UCL and La Liga. Some of the players that Xavi has can actually be used as rotation options on the front lines like Felix. While waiting for the January transfer window and management to execute Vitor Roque move to Barcelona, it looks like he is a suitable cover for Lewandowski.

Lewandowski is finished. He played in munich and he said he was willing to get a new challenge by join in barcelona but he is now in the process dropping from his peak performance. Lewandowski can have strong spirit to break his last season's record but he can't even lie if his age is indirectly affecting his performance in the field. There was no a lot of pressure was coming toward him, but his performance was dropping naturally due to his age.

His stamina will be less compared when he is young. No doubt that if sometimes i saw that contributed nothing to the club. His age was the main reason and he will not able to lie about that.
Anyone realizes that if he is slow now.

Meaning that if Girona could mount more pressure on Rayo Vallecano's defence, they may not score much but they might score at least once and a maximum of 2 goals.

I remember someone said it here but I dont remember the person name and that does not mean I am plagiarizing but just to explain to me if that person said that in other leagues such as the EPL, Leicester had won a title there, even that team was the same team as Girona. so it really makes sense what that person said because if you remember that the team is weak, like what that person said, it could give a surprise in the next season by leading the standings like Girona, which has the opportunity to lead in La Liga.

well, there are several factors that influence why small teams can surprisingly end the season with a domestic league title and the most important factor is that a team like Girona can take advantage of the situation when big teams are busy having matches in other competitions and Girona can take advantage of this opportunity. very well because knowing that like Real Madrid and Barcelona who will focus on the UCL, their performance will certainly not be too strong in La Liga and Girona will try to get more points before the big teams try to catch these points.
and for Rayo who succeeded in holding off Real Madrid attacks, this was one of the impacts of Madrid focusing on the UCL match and on the one hand, Madrid players had to maintain their physical quality and Bellingham was also suffering from an injury.

so the competition in several of these leagues is very interesting and La Liga is one of the most competitive competitions.

Yes obviously, when he came to Barcelona he was not in his prime anymore and it was only a matter of time before he declined, and now we are seeing his decline. But that doesn't mean it's going to be a short time, I mean when he declines then he declines quickly and can't contribute anymore. I think it's a time when a 35-year-old player knows that he's going to have ups and downs in his performance, in other words, he can't be as consistent as he was when he was younger.
But it was also a good thing when he came to Barcelona and was able to adapt quickly and even help win titles.

He has eyes on La Liga trophy and also for the major trophy, which is the UEFA Champions League and Los Blancos will do everything within their capacity to achieve their aim. Real Madrid performance is still balance and they keep constant sights on achieving their priorities this season.

It is very likely that Real Madrid will achieve what they are targeting this season if Real Madrid does not experience many defeats and draws in matches in La Liga and also in the Champions League. Because Real Madrid in La Liga is still seen as a candidate to win this season, even though in the Champions League it is still too early to say Real Madrid is a candidate to win because there are still many rounds that must be passed by the top teams, including Real Madrid.

Anyway, playing at home and only getting a draw I think it's also not a destruction for Real Madrid. Although indeed, at this moment Real Madrid is also only in second place in the La Liga standings but anyway, the top of the table is only about Girona which is likely to still make Real Madrid have a great chance of being able to return to the top of the La Liga standings . Although indeed, I also lost my bet because I bet on Real Madrid to win against Rayo Vallecano but I don't care. Because anyway, such results will also certainly be a big lesson for Ancelotti at this moment, at least to have a good backup plan when at any time his key players are injured.

Barcelona also still need him, even though now he is not in good form.

Lewandowski's decline in performance this season is likely due to the injury he suffered and also changes in the composition of Barcelona's players. Last season Lewandowski had a good tandem with Dembele and Raphinha, but this season Dembele has played for PSG and Raphinha has experienced a decline in form.

Even so, Lewandowski's performance can still improve as La Liga progresses and he is a striker who never gives up. There are still many matches to expect Lewandowski to return to his best form and return to leading the top scorer standings. He has scored 5 goals and 3 assists in 10 La Liga matches this season, while he has also scored 1 goal in 3 Champions League matches plus 1 assist. The return of Pedri and De Jong to the main squad after injury could revive Lewandowski's performance as a center forward, but he still needs to recover his performance gradually.

[iBaba]

He's a good lad. Unfortunately, he's aging, and his recent performance indicates that football is gradually leaving him. Robert Lewandowski hasn't scored in his last 6 games for Barcelona in all competitions, and this is something alarming. Barcelona needs a supporting striker; he's old and no longer hustles for the ball like he used to. I won't blame Lewandowski entirely for his lack of goals; Barca also lacks effective wingers. Despite this, Barca can still compete both in UCL and Laliga.

But what could have really been the case for Lewandowski's snub at the Real Arena? Xavi Hernandez took his time to embrace all his team players after they came off the pitch but it was a different case for Lewandowski's. Not a hug, a high five or even looked at the manager.

I am pretty sure Xavi is not impressed by the decline in performance of Lewandowski this season after he has failed to make a goal as a striker in his last six games coming from such a popular club like Barcelona, Lewandowski is expected to be pumping out goals always but it seems to be a bad day for him every time he steps his foot on the pitch to play for Barcelona. I am wondering what exactly could be the reason for the underperformance of this star Poland player.

I don't know whether Xavi ignored him on purpose or anything like that, but I doubt it. That would be like sending the wrong messages in public and if they have a problem, I believe Xavi would prefer to discuss that internally. But I also think that Barcelona knew very well that they are not signing a striker who is 25 years old, but a striker who is soon going to be 35 years old. How can Barcelona expect a player to be as successful at 35 as he was was at 30 or so. Now I am sure many people will come up with Benzema, but Benzema had one exceptional reason at that age and that's it. It went incredibly well for him that season but it is rather the exception than the rule that a striker is better at 35 than at 30 or less.

and for Rayo who succeeded in holding off Real Madrid attacks, this was one of the impacts of Madrid focusing on the UCL match and on the one hand, Madrid players had to maintain their physical quality and Bellingham was also suffering from an injury.

The performance of smaller teams this season will continually shock everyone because one wouldn't have believed if told before now that Newcastle would be in the Champions league, and say more and more of the recent performances of Fulham and others, these teas have taken advantage of the situation the wild teams have found themselves, in terms of competitions being played which causes less resting times, plus the team's defaults in their physical structure and player's efforts in converting goal chances to victories.

 A whole lot has changed in football, The EPL which was tough has become even tougher, La Liga just started getting competitive. It's amazing that the smaller teams are making wave and causing football to be more fun than it used to be,
Gone are the days that football in these leagues were one team focused, now all teams have to be watched closely because no one knows where his defeat would lie.

Xavi Hernandez found confidence in his frontline when Robert Lewandowski was actively in form, he has done quite amazing contributions to the team's progress. Robert Lewandowski was once in epic peak and deliver has deliver Barcelona in crucial moments but looking at him today, He's nothing compared to the Lewandowski we know last season, he was there and aggressive infront of goal, always one step ahead of achieving his targets and netting goals for his team. Perhaps he needs more time to adapt after been ruled out of league games due to critical injury he sustained.

[kawetsriyanto]

Don't forget that Girona had an amazing performance so far in this season and their performance was even better than Real Madrid's in the 12 games they had so far. However Girona doesn't have the potential to win the title of La Liga in this easo but they be definitely a good competitor for Real Madrid and Barcelona and I think even if they play against Real Madrid, this can't be easy to be precited.

So far, Girona is the club that play most consistent in La Liga. But it is still matchday 12, there are too many matches left. We can't conclude it too early that Girona is playing very consistently during this season. They need to prove that they can maintain their performance until the second half of the season at least. I don't say that Girona will have no chance to win La Liga title, but I think the chance isn't very big because they don't have good squad depth. If some of their main players got injured, they probably get difficulty to keep their good performance until the end of the season. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid are the teams that have better squad depth.

[rahmad2nd]

I agree with you, we know that Girona is quite easy to beat by teams that are much stronger than them. We know that Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico will not let Girona lead the standings arbitrarily, so they could become a direct threat in the hunt for the championship trophy this season. On the one hand, Girona looks like they will be able to finish in the top four of the standings when the season ends, this can clearly be seen from the way they have secured 3 points in every match they have played.

Maybe the luck they have now is due to the lack of injured players, and the small number of matches they have, so they are able to be like today. The competition will be fiercer when the season enters the second half, we will see whether Girona can overcome the heavier pressure there, personally I doubt that.

Without intending to underestimate the Girona squad, but in the end they will decline by themselves. So far, Girona leading the La Liga standings is an achievement for them, even though it is only temporary. But gradually, their position will begin to shift against tough teams. in fact, we can refer to this week's match between Rayo and Girona. The odds provided by bookies do not have very obvious differences. After that, Girona will also play a match against Bilbao who are ranked 5th in La Liga. Valencia, then Barcelona and so on. If Girona have a strong, solid squad, they can get through it and still maintain their ranking. unfortunately, it's not easy.

In fact, teams at the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona can experience defeat by ordinary teams. especially Girona, of course it doesn't rule out the possibility. Apart from that, it is not certain that Girona will be able to finish in the top four of the La Liga standings. after all, they still had a lot of matches to play. As the competition nears the halfway point of the season, the competition will only get tougher.

Well, I agree with what you said for the second point. that the lack of schedule means they always focus on league competitions. After all, the Copa del Rey match has only been played once.  "if I'm not mistaken". Girona, only participated in two competitions as far as I can see based on the statistics. As usual, to make sure whether we can do it or not, we just follow every match presented by La Liga.

When Lewandowski is in a good form, surely Xavi feels confident because he often scored goals. Lewandowski has a big role to make Barcelona winning some titles, he becomes the most productive players in the squad. This season, Lewandowski has a problem with his injured, that makes him very difficult to play in his best form again. As the result, it really influences the performance of Barcelona as the whole.

Sure, he needs time to return to his best form. It is not easy to play after experiencing a long time injury. I assume Lewandowski may need more than 5 matches to return again to his good form. But if the injury isn't 100 recovered, Lewandowski may be hard to play well again. And the final option is to retire if his condition never gets better.
