La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[samuraijin]

Girona have one advantage over the other standings leaders. They don't have to play in other European Cups. Therefore, it is not yet possible to say that Real Madrid or Barcelona will be able to gain more points.

Even though what you say is also true, in reality Real Madrid can immediately take the lead because Girona got a draw at home against Athletic Club. And Real Madrid can still condition itself in La Liga even though Real Madrid is also playing in other competitions in Europe this season, while Girona must do their best to be able to match themselves with Real Madrid, which has several star players. And for Barcelona maybe the team will be worse this season and even Girona can say they are better than Barcelona, but will not be better than Real Madrid this season.

This season has been very surprising for Madrid fans especially, usually they have seen the battle in the last few seasons between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but this season is very different, in fact Barcelona is only watching Real Madrid and Girona fight for the top of La Liga, this really doesn't make sense to me.  and of course supporters of their rivals Barcelona, ​​Girona's draw meant they had to drop from the top of the standings but Real Madrid won over Cadiz 0-3, of course this was a very clever scenario from Ancelotti in terms of choosing the right players from several of his star players who were injured.  , this season is really very tight, Real Madrid and Girona both have 35 points.

Girona is slowly returning to underperformance. Even though they took the lead in the Athletic match, they could not maintain their lead. They are currently considered to share the leadership with Real Madrid, but Real is in the leadership seat with the advantage in goal difference. I honestly don't know how long Girona will stay in the race.

Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga and winning it have become an ultimate priority for Los Blancos this season. They will play their very best to suit into the picture. A detrimental squad cannot defeat an outstanding team in La Liga; I have not seen a random club defeat Real Madrid in a long time. They can only be at the top for a short time, as seen by the club's overall deterioration in performance. Girona's poor performance in league games has begun displaying concerns. They're experiencing difficulties with games and are reconnecting with their previous game.

No. I think if Girona stay up the table on equal points with Real Madrid they're not going down at the moment except I'd say when Girona's table position starts to slip but so far they're holding their own and yesterday's draw with Bilbao.

Well from here we still don't know how long Girona will last and maybe until the end of the season?
It can be said that Girona is still quite good in every match they always play impressively and that is an asset for them to stay up with Real Madrid.

I think they will not be able to hold on to the race long enough to compete with Real Madrid. Of course, I remember that there was a season in the past when Real Sociedad was about to win La Liga, but I honestly do not know if I will watch a similar performance from Girona this year. Everything has gone great so far, but we need to investigate how things can get better from now on. I admit Girona is a good team, but Real and Barça are great teams.

They are currently considered to share the leadership with Real Madrid, but Real is in the leadership seat with the advantage in goal difference. I honestly don't know how long Girona will stay in the race.

I am not sure about that, Girona had just one tie and 4 wins in the last 5 games, which means that they are still doing quite well, and I think that's not an issue. Plus the team they got a tie with was Athletic Bilbao which is fifth in the league (and they are doing amazing considering their limit to just their own countrymen in the team), which is why that's fine, you can get a tie with fifth place team, that shouldn't be an issue at all.

I understand that it may not feel like a big deal to people, but this type of consistency for Girona is a big deal, they were not even in this league a few seasons ago and they are going for the title suddenly. It's a great example of david vs goliath type of situation that could help other smaller teams. After all the whole world right now is filled with a few teams in every league that does great, and doing terrible for all the other teams, girona could be an example for the other smaller teams to do better.

The difficulties against Rayo continue, even if Gavi is not injured they will still struggle.  The Barcelona vs Rayo match depicted an uncreative midfield. Losing Gavi makes it even more difficult for Xavi to find a balanced replacement. De Jong has not been able to perform optimally, he looks still a little stiff. The attackers not getting good passes also make them look bad. The best striker in this moment is Yamal, he can open up space with his dribbling ability. So he should have been able to score a goal, but Barcelona was unlucky.

Look at the teams Rayo faced in the last 3 matches. Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona. They faced three teams competing at the top of the league in a row. They only lost against Girona and drew against the other 2 teams, which I guess no one would have expected. That's why Rayo is not an easy team at all. They are a team that got a draw from Barcelona and Real Madrid. They may be better this year. Barcelona's injuries will be very annoying, especially in these weeks when they lose points. There is also an important tournament like the Champions League. They should make extra efforts to heal the injured.

Where do you get the information that Ancelotti said he is waiting for contract's extension in Real Madrid?
As far as I know, there are many news reported that Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid after this season ends. He is rumored to be the coach of Brazil national team. However, I don't know whether he is officially selected as Brazil coach or not.

I don't expect Xabi to manage Real Madrid in the near future. He should get enough experience as a coach before he returns to Real Madrid as a coach there. For the next season, I expect Zidane will return to Real Madrid. Or Real Madrid can extend Ancelotti's contract for 1-2 seasons (if he doesn't move to Brazil).

Carlo Ancelotti is widely linked with the position of coach of the Brazilian national team. Even so, Ancelotti admitted that he still hoped for a new contract from Real Madrid.
It is predicted that the veteran Italian coach will be the successor to Tite, who resigned following Brazil's failure at the 2022 World Cup. However, because Ancelotti is still under contract with Madrid, Brazil is believed to be willing to wait.
Ancelotti's contract at the Santiago Bernabeu itself will expire next summer. As a result, rumors surrounding Ancelotti's future are blowing even louder as to whether he will actually coach the Selecao or stay at Madrid. Moreover, it was recently reported that Los Blancos were interested in extending the contract of the 64 year old entrenador

I hope if Anclotti continued his coaching period at Real Madrid because so far Anclotti has given his best for Los Blancos, but if Real Madrid does not intend to give Anclotti a new contract, it means that Real Madrid has prepared a new, more experienced coach, or is it possible that Zidane will return to coaching the team? This? What is certain is that Real Madrid will give a surprise at the end of Anclotti's contract.

While we are waiting to see Ancelotti extend his contract with Real Madrid or Real Madrid send an offer for Xabi Alonso to hire this coach from Leverkusen, it seems there is the possibility for Real Madrid to hire Lionel Scaloni. Lionel Scalon won the World Cup with Argentina and he can definitely be a good option for Real Madrid.

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.

Yes, Girona has shown or fought in the last match against Bilbao, Maybe many fans were a bit disappointed with this result, but the team tried hard to win the match but the opponent was quite strong. I think this draw is quite good, maybe in the future the coach will have to pay attention to the fitness of each player, there is still a long way to go to win this league. They have to be consistent in every match, if they want to get the title this year, if they are not consistent they will be left behind by many points compared to their competitors, because Real Madrid is at the top of the match 14 standings. Girona is a newcomer team that has surprised many parties, in particular Football observer on this team

They're experiencing difficulties with games and are reconnecting with their previous game.

That's how Real Madrid is, they won't stay silent, their place could be occupied longer by another team and maybe only Barcelona will be able to make things difficult for them. But Barcelona is also in a slump and they are 4 points behind Real Madrid. Girona is not a threat if they are unable to maintain the performance they have built and perhaps it would be more appropriate for them to finish in the top 4 rather than being in title contention.

So far I have only seen three really good teams in La Liga, namely Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Barcelona doesn't seem to be any better than last season because currently Barcelona has to sit in the top four after competing 14 times in La Liga. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid has managed to place itself in third place in the standings even though it has not yet played its 14th match this season. This means that Barcelona is no better than Atletico Madrid, especially comparing it with Girona and Real Madrid, it is clear that Barcelona has been quite behind all this time.

The attackers not getting good passes also make them look bad. The best striker in this moment is Yamal, he can open up space with his dribbling ability. So he should have been able to score a goal, but Barcelona was unlucky.

Let's review this match, I think Xavi is more focused on the Champions League match which will be held after the match against Rayo. we can refer to several pains who sat on the bench, such as Joao Felix, Iikay Gundohan. In the match against Rayo, De Jong had just recovered from his injury. and as in previous matches, we can refer to the fact that this player from the Netherlands has not yet found a strong bond with Oriol Romeu to fill each other's positions. In the end, De Jong's performance was not visible at all. In fact, even without Gavi, Barcelona should be able to overthrow Rayo if we talk based on statistics and player depth.

However, in fact, the match did not go smoothly, as did Pedri's performance after being absent for quite a long time. Apart from that, if I'm not mistaken, Xavi tried to apply two patterns in one match. in the first half with a 4-3-3 pattern, in the second half there was a change to a 4-2-3-1 pattern. Since Rayo scored a goal in the first half in the 39th minute, until the end of the match they tended to play closely. In the second half, Xavi tried to increase the intensity of his squad by including several core players and the system was changed. but in fact, of the 10 total shots they had, only 2 were on target, 3 were big opportunities, 1 shot hit the goalpost. the rest, as you said and I'm just trying to say from another point of view. In essence, Barcelona was just unlucky in this match and at the same time benefited from an own goal by one of Rayo's players. The point is, Xavi is more focused on preparing his squad for the Champions League match which will be held today.

In Real Madrid, with this transition phase between old and young players, Ancelotti is very fitted with this task and at his age, he can continue this job for a few years that is enough to help Real Madrid achieves success in their rebuilding process.

Anceloti has decided that he is only up to this season. He will become Brazil coach after the summer. But I agree, he is currently still working to the maximum. He made a good transfer. Anceloti prioritizes buying talented young players who are ready for the long term. He has started the regeneration of the current players. Anceloti started well, he didn't sell old players right away. Anceloti is selling gradually and it's a good move to keep the team in stability.

The fight between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is really good. This race between the two teams increases the enjoyment of the league. Although Barcelona is currently behind, it can reach slightly better levels after injuries. They are currently trying to integrate players from the academy into the team. It seems to me like Barcelona is trying to build its squad 2-3 years later.

There is also an important tournament like the Champions League. They should make extra efforts to heal the injured.

Yep, things like this are unpredictable but with them facing a big club and facing Girona who are in a very good situation this season makes them realize that defense is important and they don't mess around with it.
Facing all of them at once in the last 3 weeks has left them with only 1 point to focus on and a total defensive scheme that has made them used to sporadic attacks and the results have been satisfying for them although this hasn't gone down well with my betting as I always back the favorites when 3 clubs (Madrid, Girona and Barcelona) play them.

However, such surprises are not matched by their performance in other games although they are still very good but Rayo's progress is not growing because in recent seasons they have always been in the middle of the table although that has also been one of the positives for a club like Rayo.

Rayo was a mid-table team in the previous season and this season Rayo also sits in the middle of the standings table. Indeed, Rayo often gives difficulties to their opposing teams and this happened this season where the opponents they have faced previously failed to achieve maximum results, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. Statistically, in the matches played by Rayo, we see that they often end the match by achieving more draws than wins. So in other words, Barcelona was a little lucky to get a draw in that match because if there was no own goal then Barcelona could have lost points in that match.

Apart from that, in today match, Girona also got a draw when they faced Bilbao, so for now Girona failed to return to the top of the standings because they lost in goal productivity to Real Madrid. Apart from that, for the top 4, Real Madrid and Girona have collected the same points and behind that, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have also collected the same points. Next week we will see an even more intense feud taking place at the top of the rankings and it will certainly be quite interesting to follow.

This means that Barcelona is no better than Atletico Madrid, especially comparing it with Girona and Real Madrid, it is clear that Barcelona has been quite behind all this time.

Exactly Girona and Real Madrid are performing well with Athletico Madrid, and I believe one of them can win the La Liga trophy because Barcelona is not in good form this season, and I do not believe they will win the league; instead, they should concentrate on the Champions League because I do not believe Real Madrid will lose a match now, and I believe Real Madrid will win the trophy. Ancelotti wants to win another title before leaving the club, and I see the work the coach is putting in on the players who are doing admirably.

Xavi needs to get some players to replace some of the club's weak players, because if Xavi does not buy players in the following transfers windows the club will suffer. I don't think Barcelona will qualify for the Champions League next season if they didn't improve because they still have tough games to play in the league and they are playing draw with some small team, which is only in week 14,  Lewandowski has lost form this season but I'm not sure if it's just me that abserve that because if you compare his performances last season and this season, he can't even score many goals in the league.

[Rengga Jati]

-snip-

However, Barcelona was lucky not to lose this match because they couldn't score a goal and luck came when an own goal occurred and the score became 1-1.

Well, at least, they still owned 1 point from the match. Well, although that was not the best result, at least, they were drawn, not lost.
Hopefully, Barcelona's performance can return soon, so that the match can be quite interesting again. Moreover, they also have to compete in the UCL where the conditions will definitely be even more difficult for them.

The La liga title race this season is between Real Madrid, Barcelona, Girona and Atletico Madrid; Which team are you betting on ??

I will definitely hold Real Madrid as La Liga champion. It's indeed too early, but I'm a Real Madrid fan, so I would hope so. Currently, Real Madrid is at the top of the standings again after Girona experienced a draw with Athletic Club. So this provides an advantage for Real Madrid. However, it cannot be denied that I am actually also interested to see how far Girona can stay in that position and compete with the previous top clubs in La Liga.

[KTChampions]

Hehe, here are the title quotes from bookmakers at the moment:

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 3.75

Atlético Madrid 9.00

Girona 17.00

As I predicted earlier, Barcelona is already rated above 3 and it is unlikely that the situation for it will change for the better in the near future.
But what about Atlético's quotes!?  Why are they lower than Barcelona and so much so? Regarding Girona, I have no questions; everything is obvious.
