La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[len01]

It's incredible even I think Girona will only last 7-9 weeks. But today they proved my prediction wrong. But in the current conditions, there will still be many matches that will be passed. They have more than half a season. So I still have doubts about their condition in a full season. Even Girona's own coach still has doubts about their strength. Finishing in the top 5 at the end of the season seems to be an incredible achievement.

I actually doubt that Girona will be able to stay at the top of the standings until the end of the season because its too early to win the La Liga title, while Girona strategy is not enough to compete with other teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, even though they look very strong at the moment, but for I think its a natural situation for Girona to take the opportunity when a big team is dividing its performance in 2 different competitions so that the big team performance looks unstable, but if it were possible for Barcelona to focus on La Liga like before, Girona would definitely be shifted.

maybe I need 3 - 4 more matches to see whether Girona performance will be consistent until the end of the season after the big teams can focus a little on the La Liga matches later. and regarding the match against Bilbao, as I predicted yesterday, I actually wanted Girona to lose, but I also said that the chance of a draw was also very big and it turned out that my prediction was correct, both teams split the score for a draw.

It looks like the match will end 1-1 and both teams will share the points. Bilbao fired more shots than Girona, but Girona's defense is still quite good so far. Bilbao were not lucky to get an additional goal in this match because Paulo Gazzaniga appeared very impressive. He has made 5 saves from a total of 6 shots on target for Bilbao so far, of course he deserves to be the best player in this match if Girona wins or draws.

As predicted many users discussed here on the previous page, Girona will have difficulty winning over Bilbao. The Girona vs Bilbao match was a bit tough, Girona and Bilbao played very carefully in the first half, so it was very natural that the first half ended with a score of 0-0. Girona who appeared in front of their own supporters, tried to improve the quality of their attacks in the second half, but were finally able to take the lead thanks to Viktor Tsyhankov goal in the 55th minute. The joy of Girona fans didn't last long, because Bilbao managed to equalize in the 67th minute.
Bilbao strength which is almost evenly distributed in every line, is very difficult for the home team to beat, Girona draw meant they failed to return to the top of the standings. Girona lost on goal difference to Real Madrid even though they both have collected 35 points.

I have a lot of respect for Girona, their achievements to date have been extraordinary. The collective play they used made their performance very powerful. But I doubt Girona's strength can last until the end of the season. I think Girona may only be able to maintain its consistency for only half of the season, not without reason because other teams will get the opportunity to update their squad so that the La Liga team's strength map will change. However, because of what Girona is doing, they need to continue their dream, maybe the most realistic thing they need to pursue is being able to play at European level next season but not in the Champions League.

If I pay attention to the current state of the team, I see Girona have experienced players. Girona didn't spend much money. They got the player on a free transfer. In addition, the combination of young and senior players provides good game effectiveness. I just remember in the history of La Liga if more than 7 weeks the club managed to lead the rankings then they would not be out of the top 6 at the end of the season. Micel as a coach also managed to instill a hardworking character. Micel also managed to select quality players without huge costs.

Despite the draw 1-1 Girona embraced from Athletic club, they still remain in second position in the la Liga league table which is another opportunity for their manager to do some homework to eliminate that errors that appear for Girona not to use home advantage to achieve victory from Athletic club. Now that many teams like Atletico Madrid, Athletic club and Barcelona are on ground to fight for the second position, I don't think Girona will allow such thing to happen than to try their best to drag the first position with Real Madrid, since Real Madrid is toping them with little points, and it will be easy for them to use their next match to surprise people in that position.

Was anyone expecting the Gironistes to win their opposition? Girona draw points with Athletic club and have made them dropped to second position. Like I said, Girona will decline in performance just as previous night, they couldn't maintain their balance and lead, instead settling for a draw points wouldn't boosts their scores and performance in La Liga. Girona boss, Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz and his men needs all the supports they could get currently because their upcoming features is consider tough and winning all of them will definitely shake them.

Real Madrid managed to get perfect points this week. The convincing victory they achieved over Cadiz temporarily allowed El Real to climb to 1st place in the standings and this is of course positive capital for Ancelotti's troops. Meanwhile, Girona, who has been able to perform phenomenally to date, has faced quite a serious challenge, of course it will not be easy for them against Bilbao, which incidentally is also in a positive trend. I think Girona will miss out on perfect points this week.

Real has been playing well lately and if earlier the team was helped out by Bellingham scoring important goals, now Rodrigo has come to his senses and started scoring, and in general you can see that the team is playing stably. The triangle of Kroos - Modric - Valverde creates the game in the middle of the field and in general, despite their age, Kroos and Modric are not falling out of Real's core.

The only position that can be strengthened is pure forward. Joselu is not a bad player and you can see that he is trying, but so far he is the only pure forward of Real Madrid and if something happens to him, it is not clear who will take his place in the attack of Real Madrid.

It is basically whoever needs to score situation. I mean if they need Jude to score then he does, if Rodrygo then he does, if Vini he did too, now missing some but he did. SO all in all they are doing their finest. The team is lacking the scorer position a lot, and they really need to have a star there, but they don't have any right now, which means that they really need to do a lot better, and that means the yare going to face some trouble.

And the way to get rid of that would be getting goals form other positions, and that is exactly what they are doing right now. I believe that the best thing to do right now would be making sure that they are doing as fine as possible, there is no other way to keep it going or even growing. So the fact that some others are scoring when needed is a big help.

Apparently, this is the difference between a high-class team and an average/bad one, that when it is necessary to forget everything there and midfielders and defenders and even goalkeepers.

I remember a case when Sevilla played in the Europa League or whatever it was called and in the last minutes, the goalkeeper scored, I think it was Palop and Sevilla went further. In those years Sevilla were at their peak and I think everyone scored there, just like Real Madrid do now.

It should be noted that Real were not just lucky, but damn lucky with Bellingham, to buy such a player is a real gift for the club. Bellingham has pulled Real out in so many matches that it seems like he's been playing there for a couple of years and has played with all the players.

What I thought really happened and Girona couldn't win against Bilbao. In fact, it is already known from the statistics that the match between these two teams will be quite even and it is quite difficult to determine the winner considering that both of them are also in their best performance. It would be best to reduce excessive expectations of Girona from now on, because after all, this team is still new to the top flight and the team that is a strong regular at the top of the standings will also be back in the near future.

The difference in points between the teams in the top 4 is not that far and for Atletico they still have an advantage with fewer matches than the other teams. This will be a momentum for Atletico to leave Barcelona and get closer to Girona or Real Madrid.

[Strongkored]

Girona has not been able to occupy first place again because Girona has not managed to get 3 points which would put itself in first position. With this, Girona will occupy second place while waiting for Real Madrid to make a mistake in the next match, but if not then Real Madrid will continue to lead the standing.

It's incredible even I think Girona will only last 7-9 weeks. But today they proved my prediction wrong. But in the current conditions, there will still be many matches that will be passed. They have more than half a season. So I still have doubts about their condition in a full season. Even Girona's own coach still has doubts about their strength. Finishing in the top 5 at the end of the season seems to be an incredible achievement.

Now their position has been shifted by Real Madrid because of the draw against Athletic but Girona's points are the same as Real Madrid, they only lost on goal difference, and next week against Valencia Girona will again face a tight match, if they get another draw or even lose then Real Madrid, who will face a relatively easy match against one of the weaker teams, will further strengthen their position at the top of the standings, to avoid this from happening, Girona must win against Valencia because if they are already behind on points from Real Madrid, it will make things even more difficult for them and teams like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will be ready to further lower their position in the standings, and doubts will grow for Girona that they will remain as one of the contenders for the title race and it is quite difficult to maintain their position in the standings because they are competing with three other strong teams.

Statistically, Girona will be able to secure full points when they meet Vallencia, as will Real Madrid who will face Granada in Week 15. This means that the standings will not change and because the points obtained by both are still the same. Atletico has a big chance of overtaking Madrid and Girona at the top of the standings because they still have one match postponed against Sevilla, but that will only happen after week 18. Currently, their number of points is the same as Barcelona, namely 31 points.

On the other hand, Cadiz, who lost to Madrid, and Mallorca, who lost to Atletico, will meet in their postponed matches in the next two days. This match will carry the ambition to stay away from the relegation zone, what is most unfortunate is that Almeria has not yet won even once in the 14 matches that have been played.

The match with Bilbao became predictably difficult, and Real managed to take advantage of this loss of points. This could be a difficult moment for Girona, although after the defeat to Real they were able to return to the top of the table, so it is too early to draw any conclusions. There was no doubt that in such a difficult championship it would be very difficult to compete with such giants as Real and Barcelona, and by the way, Atlético, if they won, would be able to get close to them, so the whole struggle was still ahead.

Girona played very well in their home match against Bilbao. The big problem for Girona in that match was the unsatisfactory final finish. They had so many chances created throughout the match, but luck was not on their side. Meanwhile, Bilbao is also the same so this is another classic match like a big match in La Liga. Bilbao played better in the second half and put a lot of pressure on Girona's defense, but Girona, who had a good spirit, continued to maintain it until the end of the match.

In the end, Girona had to be eliminated from the top of the standings even though they had the same points as Real Madrid. Girona lost head to head with Real Madrid and that is what made Ancelotti's team lead the standings this week. Girona may find it increasingly difficult to re-establish their feet at the top of the standings after Real Madrid leads the standings, but of course that really depends on the performance of the two teams in the next few matches.

One bad match is not enough to wash all previous good matches they had, but I am so doubtful that Girona already touched their limits. They soon will hit their limits when players touch their physical thresholds and can not continue their good performances for Girona. We will need a several more matches in La Liga to see how Girona continue their good form or start their down side in performances.

It is not only about Girona but also about all small clubs which suddenly have excellent forms. They are not familiar with pressure at top positions and they don't have enough players to alternate during a long season. Therefore physical exhaustion has to come unavoidably and performance has to decrease consequently.

In the end, Girona had to be eliminated from the top of the standings even though they had the same points as Real Madrid.

It it still good for Girona but the more importance is what they will show in next few weeks. If they fail to maintain good performance, they can see a domino effect and will quickly fall on the table. I am sure they will not be able to win La Liga but how about a position in top four or top six of La Liga?

Will Girona be able to get it when the season ends?

But I don't think it's a big problem, now Girona just needs to consistently show good performance and they still have the possibility to remain competitive at the top of the standings.

Girona will ultimately lose its best performance because the road is not always smooth. Bilbao, Barcelona, ​​​​Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and several other strong teams could destroy Girona's performance and dampen their enthusiasm to compete at the top, so they clearly have big doubts about maintaining their performance.

I agree that Girona have worked hard to stay in good form, but you are right that fatigue is the most important factor. Player injuries and physical fatigue are the cause of the decline in performance, but nevertheless Girona remains one of the best in La Liga this season through 14 matches. Losing points like the match against Bilbao is a benchmark that Girona is actually not ready to face a big challenge at the top of the standings, but I believe they will try to improve it in the next match.

Will Girona be able to get it when the season ends?

Even if nothing is impossible, but allow me to say no for Girona.

Let's say that Girona is unable to maintain their position until the end of the season, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will eventually have the potential to appear in the UCL next season. At least Girona can occupy 3rd or 4th position, that is already an extraordinary achievement. If you look at Girona last season who finished in 10th position, this means that this improvement shows great progress. I think the Girona club will patiently go through the process, climbing the ladder gradually does not always have to be fast. That's what I saw from Girona patience in enjoying the process. Regarding the aspect of the game, I admit that the Girona players are being prepared to form a greater competitive mentality.

In Spanish League Girona vs Athletic Club today's match between two teams enjoyed a great game. Neither team could win this match. Both teams tried hard to win the match. Due to both teams scoring 1 goal, the match was a draw. For which both teams shared points.  Had to take. Neither team could score in the first half of the game. Girona's V. Tsygankov scored the 1st goal in the 55th minute. Athletic Club's I. Williams scored 1 goal in the 67th minute to draw the match.

Thank goodness Girona ultimately failed to get full points at home. This is also what allows Real Madrid to lead the standings even though they have the same points as Girona. This team has improved a lot in the way they play the ball and I admit they are the biggest threat that the other top teams have to worry about this season.

Girona have only been beaten by Real Madrid so far, but they are unbeaten in their other 13 matches. This is a stark warning to other teams looking to compete in the top flight including Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, meaning Girona cannot be underestimated at all. Eric García and Daley Blind are two good center backs for them, while Girona also have a capable midfielder and striker in Sávio Moreira de Oliveira or Savio. I don't know why Girona didn't have Artem Dovbyk in the game against Bilbao, he is a very dangerous striker this season.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid have officially closed the previous game week as the leader in the standings. Girona's performance wasn't good enough against Athletic Bilbao honestly. I mean of course they had many goal attempts but only 2 of them were on target. They should be grateful for one of them to end up with a goal as well. I even believe Athletic Bilbao deserved a win here as they were much more accurate and closer to scoring more goals.

Girona still maintain a great streak though. They haven't been losing for many weeks in the first place. Besides they have lost only once which was against Real Madrid. This is wonderful for a team like Girona just as I said before. Let's see how consistent they will be during the season.

But I don't think it's a big problem, now Girona just needs to consistently show good performance and they still have the possibility to remain competitive at the top of the standings.

Despite Girona drawing their match yesterday against Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid automatically claim the top of the LA liga table, I commend Girona resilience so far and for earning a draw in their match against Athletic Bilbao yesterday wasn't really easy for them because Athletic Bilbao were very strong in the match and they would have even won Girona if not that Girona has a solid defense I just hope that Girona should continue their consistency and they will actually make a huge difference in the league.
