La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[aylabadia05]

<snip>

They scored two goals in 5 minutes and took the three points, this is a very interesting team, Girona. What I wonder is, will they be able to consistently provide these returns? No matter what, they produced excellent results until the 15th week.

Michel still needs the services of older players to win over Valencia. It was proven when Michel introduced Stuani in the 75th minute, this 37 year old player from Urugay was the figure behind Girona's comeback in the final 10 minutes of the match with 2 (two) goals scored by Stuani with a difference of approximately 6 (six) minutes.

Consistency depends on them. I don't think they can make a surprise in La Liga this season. Indeed, in football league competitions, what is thought to be impossible can turn into reality. But for Girona there is still nothing they will be able to do.
Girona is still in the initial phase where they are not yet in a difficult situation. There are still not many injuries to the squad.

Well, Girona wake up just in time to overcome and turn the tide against a difficult Valencia. Seems like they really want to make history this season, i cant watch the game sadly, but i can imagine Girona fans going nuts after the winning.

In the other game Bilbao destroy Rayo and still in the fight for european places.

[bitgolden]

Granada should be an easy win for real Madrid especially with the kind of form they are currently on now, Real Madrid have had a very good season I would say especially when it's comes to the champions league progress but their games in the La Liga Santander looks kind of edgy but I think Granada would be an exception for them to win.

For the case of Barcelona and athletic Madrid, that's a totally different atmosphere and I think the game is going to be very tough and I would predict a draw atleast in that game and besides no one of the two teams would love to lose any point but Barcelona playing home would be an advantage to their benefit.

Of course Granada is an easy win for Real Madrid because there performance and quality are not equal and however Granada this season is just a free point to so many other clubs on the league because this season they have gotten the highest losing ever, although I was thinking there performance will improve this season because they  came from Relegation and since they did not improve on there performance this season they may likely go back to the relegation stage again.

So however this match will really be good for those that plays bet because there would be a lot of goals from Real Madrid because Granada has no good defense that could prevent real Madrid from scoring.

Obviously, Real is doing wonderful so far and their momentum is great and I think they will do even better, but at the end of the day it's another game and in football if you do not care enough about your opponent then they might shock you. So even though they could dominate and win easily, they should still play with their 100% in order to win, if they give up and not care and underrate Granada, then they are going to get an upset.

I do not think that will happen though, Real is a team of discipline and they will probably end up with a good easy big margin victory here too, I bet on 2.5+ goals for the game, not the winner, but I think Real will score a bunch of goals, even a 3-0 victory wouldn't be too hard for them. They seem like they may get the title this season without a doubt.

[Gaza13]

Girona were loosing the game at one point, but they have turned things around and now ended the game with two goals, almost three but had one cancelled. I must really praise the coach of Girona because the changes he made in the game and the players he brought in are the players who went ahead to score the two goals that has given them the three points of this match. This is a good sign from a team that can win this La liga. Real Madrid now have to try to win their own game to get back to the same points with this hardworking Girona team.

Yes, the role of the coach and team analysis assistant in it plays a very important role, in making changes to the composition of each player. Congratulations to this team, they remain enthusiastic and consistent in facing every match. The unity of each player was still maintained until the 15th match. I thought the result of the match would be a draw, but unexpectedly a very surprising cross changed the score and Girona won, and soon Real Madrid will play against Granada, this might be very easy for observers to determine the result. It is certain that Real Madrid will have the upper hand in winning it, because the composition of each player is far superior to the average.

[fzkto]

Girona was able to beat Valencia and picked up three points. But Real Madrid managed to score a goal so far and nominally have three points, but the match is not over yet. Although I don't believe Granada will be able to beat Real Madrid away.

As reported by AS, Haaland’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, told the media:

    “Will he sign for Madrid? You should ask Madrid that.”

It is believed that Real Madrid maintain a firm interest in Halaand. The Norwegian forward’s contract with Manchester City expires in the summer of 2027.

There are rumours that a release clause will become active in his contract from the summer of 2025. Signing him at any point in the near future will be extremely difficult, even for Real Madrid.

Source: https://therealchamps.com/2023/11/27/erling-haaland-agent-real-madrid-rumours/

Interesting answer. This looks like an invitation to negotiations or at least leaves room for further maneuvers. It's funny that there is no praise for City and all the talk about loyalty to the club and other nonsense. After such a shitty attitude towards Haaland in the club, this is absolutely the right behavior.
I hope that the release clause in the contract is adequate (which can be assumed since Haaland moved to City as a possible top 1 for the coming years) and Real will buy him at the end of this season.

Well, in my very personal opinion I have always said something between him and Haaland I prefer a thousand times more than Haaland, Haaland is a very good player, but we have to exploit his potential, I don't remember in which game he was scoring many goals, even He was going to break Messi's record and immediately afterwards Pep Guardiola removed him so that he would not break that record, so those types of details in the player are retained there, and what better way than by going to a club where they can put him in better way and he can win everything, where he can be a star next to Bellingham who is his great friend and of course, if this happens Madrid becomes one of the greatest teams in the world, then in this order of ideas we can assume that things can be quite strong for this team, they would be in the top 1, and where they are not like PSG who waste where the stars are, in Madrid they put them to play to win, and it is possible that they take leagues, UCL in no time.

This is just what we should see, loyalty to a team where they didn't let him grow like Breaking a record? So these things are very demonstrative, if he is already flirting with Madrid it is because he has the opportunity to access him, which would seem quite good to me, of course all this is simple and was only speculation, I don't know if this signing will happen, for me It would be spectacular, because Haaland for Madrid instead of Mbappé is a change of Winners , but both players are not , I think Haaland is much more efficient, more humble and I think he Adapts much faster , I also like the style of Haaland so that he can show it in Spain, this means that the Norwegian's technique can be seen in all the teams in Spain, obviously it is a rougher technique, much stronger and it is one of those techniques that in my life I had seen a player and Despite his style, he is a player who plays Fair , he doesn't make fouls or anything like that.

Granada should be an easy win for real Madrid especially with the kind of form they are currently on now, Real Madrid have had a very good season I would say especially when it's comes to the champions league progress but their games in the La Liga Santander looks kind of edgy but I think Granada would be an exception for them to win.

For the case of Barcelona and athletic Madrid, that's a totally different atmosphere and I think the game is going to be very tough and I would predict a draw atleast in that game and besides no one of the two teams would love to lose any point but Barcelona playing home would be an advantage to their benefit.

Of course Granada is an easy win for Real Madrid because there performance and quality are not equal and however Granada this season is just a free point to so many other clubs on the league because this season they have gotten the highest losing ever, although I was thinking there performance will improve this season because they  came from Relegation and since they did not improve on there performance this season they may likely go back to the relegation stage again.

So however this match will really be good for those that plays bet because there would be a lot of goals from Real Madrid because Granada has no good defense that could prevent real Madrid from scoring.

Obviously, Real is doing wonderful so far and their momentum is great and I think they will do even better, but at the end of the day it's another game and in football if you do not care enough about your opponent then they might shock you. So even though they could dominate and win easily, they should still play with their 100% in order to win, if they give up and not care and underrate Granada, then they are going to get an upset.

They seem like they may get the title this season without a doubt.

We must remember that Real Madrid is a very good team, and that possibly things are going to turn out for the better. These types of matches are very important, Giorona won today, Madrid also already scored a goal, this means that the Things are going very well, the one that has to win all the games from now on is Barcelona itself, because it has to be in the lead as well, for now the Madrid game is attacking Granada a lot, it's that even they themselves ESPN commentators are saying that it seems like Madrid had an AI player, because of the good way they are doing it, in fact they have done luxuries, Rodry, the feint that was made was spectacular, and the goal they scored was pro an assist from Kross, and it was something great, the players picked up Kross at the moment of the goal, the German does very well on and off the field, this is something that can be seen with great clarity, for me one of the best of the world.

Zinedine Zidane reflects on Real Madrid managerial stint: “Bigger the club, bigger the egos”

In the zenith of his football mastery, Zinedine Zidane propelled Real Madrid to incredible heights, proving to be elegance personified.

After creating history as a player, he went on to shatter more records during his managerial stint in the Spanish capital, collecting innumerable accolades and most famously winning the Champions League three consecutive times.

Now, speaking on The SKWEEK Show, via Mundo Deportivo, Zidane touched upon several topics related to the world of football.
What it was like to coach Real Madrid

Having once been part of the dressing room as a player, Zidane was no stranger to what goes on behind closed doors after becoming a coach.

Acknowledging the fact that managing egos is part and parcel of the job at big clubs, he said:

“You know how it is: the bigger the club, the bigger the egos in the locker room. And you have to deal with it. I liked to do it too because you have a past and the guys respect it.

“And if you can have chemistry with them and if they like what you want to do because of your message, the better.”

Speaking on the style of football he preached, the World Cup winner accentuated training with the ball.

“I always liked the game. I always liked playing. I always trained them with a ball, they didn’t run around the field. Yes, it’s important to run, but with a ball,” he said.

Of all the options they have to replace Ancelotti, I would like it to be Harry Potter himself, because Xabi Alonso is very good, but he is doing great at Leverkusen and this is something we can all see in the Bundesliga, but It is necessary that everyone can do something now to go for zisu.

Now, for now Griona is at the head of the table, but I think Madrid needs to do much more to be able to have a greater advantage, things are like that, for me Madrid can score about 2 more goals Valverde is very focused, I think he and Joselu can do another one, I think Joselu wants and goes for more, the fans ask him for it, he is one of the best in the world, he is in the best club, and who knows if he is also Bellingham himself can do it, I see them very active and the white club needs more.

[Wiwo]

I am begining to find this season more interesting than most of the previous seasons in Lalliga,and the reason is because this season has a lot of teams who are fighting it hard for the Lalliga tittle,and also a lot of team who want to qualify for the top four spot, these are what keeps a league very lively.If you look at the English premier league,you will see teams that are fighting it very hard for the clubs in the top four position,and are making that table shake with their performances every weekend.If Lalliga can have many teams who have the strength to fight it hard with other teams just like Girona is doing this season,then the league might have been so competitive enough to drag  attention from the premier league.

For the La Liga title IMO the competition is still for only 3 clubs because Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico alone can be said to compete in La Liga.
What makes this interesting is only Girona's performance which makes a situation in La Liga a little more varied and the rest nothing too changes in this regard.
Girona's performance until now has been one of the clubs that is consistent and very good for the movement of La Liga, it's just that for the La Liga title problem it will only return to 3 clubs even towards the end of the season, likely, only 2 clubs who are usually in the top La Liga list are competing.

Yes, Girona have added intrigue this season, especially as they have only got into La Liga this season and are already competing with Real Madrid for the top spot in the standings. They currently have 35 points and today they have a chance to become first if they manage to beat Valencia. Which I don't doubt.

Just to set the record straight mate, Girona returned to La Liga last season after previously being relegated but last season also their performance as a promoted club was quite good as they were in the middle of the table at the end of the season and now their performance is increasing and can even compete with Madrid to date.
But even so, I still believe that in the middle or end of this season, their development will experience a few obstacles because after all the quality of the players is still decisive but even so we still have to praise their performance because after all with their situation which is a normal club but managed to become one of the most productive clubs so far it needs to be thumbs up.
Today they got another 3 points and managed to shift Madrid again for a while.

To this point, we can say that relegation has taught Girona a great lesson and the result of that can be seen in their recent performance and today with their repeat scores within a short period of about 5 minutes into the last 80 minutes plus which shows that indeed Girona is back and better in this season and we should look out for better performance from them as time goes on and also for the benefits of doubt there should put up a strong fight against Real Madrid in their group stage in the La Liga this season.

I don't expect their performance to decline after this season because this is just the second season after Girona's relegations period so for sure their sponsor will put up some good offers to make the club attractive to quality players who may have to join the club in preparation for the next season.

I am sure the club will finish in the top 5 this season and if they can achieve that position,  it then means that they have performed above the last season in the 2023-2024 season.

For other match Sociedad has good chances to collect 3 points today this because their current opponent is only Osasuna which is this team was unable to win in the last 4 matches in Laliga and Sociedad was in the good shape now especially they have been through an 4 matches in all competitions with unbeatable status and head to head statistics too has been showing Sociedad has good records from Osasuna so i am confident Sociedad will be able to overcomes Osasuna today and the bookmakers provided high odds for Sociedad @2.22

Overall, based on the available statistical data, Real Sociedad should be able to get three points from Osasuna. I also agree, if Real Sociedad will can overcome Osasuna, although Sociedad in tonight's match will play as an away team, but it is very likely that they can continue their positive trend.
Nice, high odds which are worthy to betting on, I will include them in my betting plan tonight. Hopefully everything goes well as it should.

[Velvet78]

In the absence of Vinicius Junior due to injury Ancelotti has changed the formation to 4-4-2. We are watching Bellingham on the left wing now and there is a Joselu - Rodrygo duo on the front line. Brahim Diaz is back in the lineup as well and he has already scored a goal too.

I don't expect Real Madrid to make a mistake in the Granada game now. They should be able to win the game comfortably. But 1-0 is a pretty risky score therefore they had better increase the goal gap quickly.

[BITCOIN4X]

Girona was able to beat Valencia and picked up three points. But Real Madrid managed to score a goal so far and nominally have three points, but the match is not over yet. Although I don't believe Granada will be able to beat Real Madrid away.

This is not an interesting match because there is a possibility that Real Madrid can win this match easily. The match was so boring because of the lack of opportunities created by both teams throughout the first half. Real Madrid tend to dominate possession of the ball but they fail to create many goal opportunities, that's because Granada's defense is still quite good. Granada conceded 1 goal in the first half and the score remained until the end of the first half.

I think Real Madrid can win this match with more than 3 goals, but it all really depends on how they create chances. Bellingham almost scored before the first half end, but the finishing was not good and went slightly wide. Granada will most likely lose this match, but Real Madrid must be able to avoid a lot of set pieces in the second half and not underestimate this team for whatever reason.

[DanWalker]

Girona must learn from the club in the previous season which ultimately failed at the end of the season. Sevilla, for example, failed to even maintain their lead until halfway through the season. It must be admitted that it will be a tremendous pressure when a club that is not used to being in the top flight and then they are there. Girona have done well so far and they must realize that their quality is no better than any other club. I mean they can use that as motivation, that with a squad that's not as fancy as Real Madrid they can still be very compettive.

We'll see today whether Girona can still take advantage of the remaining opportunities or, as you said, Girona will suffer the same fate as other clubs last season. I will not be quick to jump to conclusions because the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not too tight. There are too many opportunities open. So until everyone has seen the end of the season, every opportunity is open, including for Girona. Valencia also did not show good results in several matches, this is still Girona's opportunity. For a team like Girona, they don't need to rush to compete with Madrid because it's difficult, so they just need to play at an open distance with other clubs.

Girona performed really well against Valencia. They did not break the deadlock though. They actually conceded first in this match. But in the end, they were able to make a very good comeback. They were able to score 2 goals and win the match. And honestly, I expected them to win this match because the way they were performing in this match was really incredible. Even though their opponent was able to score 1st in this match, they did not have any control over this match. So it made it easy for Girona to make a comeback. But of course, they have to be given a lot of credit for actually making a comeback.

[Falconer]

-snip-

If Girona is forced to let Dovbyk go, it would be a mistake for Girona. It is indeed surprising that Girona managed to stay at the top of the La Liga standings until the middle of the season. Dovbyk's figure is of course very influential on his play on the team.
However, I still hope to see Girona with their tough squad. fight against the strong teams that usually dominate La Liga. Girona managed to do it until the halfway point of the season, and they just need to keep it going.

Girona have some good players who are worth keeping in their squad, it's not just about Artem Dovbyk. In my opinion, Savio and Viktor Tsyhankov are also important players who should not be forgotten. These three players are the mainstays in Girona's attacking positions and they have really had a great job this season.

Of course the player will be eager to join a more successful team in the future that will allow them to win more titles in their career. I'm sure all three will be targets for top teams in the next transfer window, but Girona must be able to convince their flagship players to stay longer and help them achieve more success.

I don't expect Real Madrid to make a mistake in the Granada game now. They should be able to win the game comfortably. But 1-0 is a pretty risky score therefore they had better increase the goal gap quickly.

I think there is no need to rush because ya, of course Real Madrid will never be satisfied if they only win with a thin score against a mediocre team. Also, in the previous match when Real Madrid played away against Cadiz also the fact that Vinicius not play due to injury, but in fact Real Madrid still managed to win with a score of 0-3. Moreover, in this match against Granada, at least Real Madrid also played at home, so of course Real Madrid will still be able to score more goals in the remaining minutes that are still quite a lot in this second half.

But of course, they have to be given a lot of credit for actually making a comeback.

More and more people are excited about Girona performances this season, and even more are waiting for their matches. With the consistency they have built this season, Girona have managed to slowly get more people's attention towards them, and more and more people are wondering how such an average squad can compete with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings. Most recently beat Valencia, made a dramatic comeback, and secured 3 points and took over the top of the standings temporarily. No wonder, they deserve appreciation for their work over 15 weeks.

On the other hand, Madrid is almost certain to return to the top because they managed to win the match, while the score was 2-0, Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo managed to bring Madrid to secure 3 points. I think in the remaining time, it will be quite difficult for Gradana to turn things around and make the match a draw. Meanwhile, to beat Ancelotti's squad they need a big miracle right now.

[ZAINmalik75]

To maintain game consistency until the end of the season is not easy for a team, especially a team like Girona which does not have a capable squad in all lines, even between the main players and their substitutes.
But so far what Girona has shown is a surprise, I'm sure there is no target for a team like Girona to become La Liga champions, that's not realistic (at the start of the season) but when conditions are like now, Girona has the opportunity to do so. In fact, Girona doesn't need to be burdened and play freely like at the start of the season.

Yeah bro this is true that winning a La Liga or being the champions team needs a lot of modus and consistency because it is beyond any doubt that holding his place in the top position in the La Liga standings is quite deficient. But to be honest, bro, I am just sceptic  about how Girona is going on the road of Laliga. They played such an impressive match from the beginning of the season. Recently Girona played such beautiful game against Velancia. Initially,  I thought that this would be a Finnish game with a 3 point loss for Girona, but at last Girona played such class football. Carlos Stuani scored twice against Valencia to secure three points for Girona.But anyway can Girona continue his best form until the end of the La Liga race or not? But I think Girona's status can show that they have the ability to keep up their consistent performance and give all of their best regards to la Liga.

Moreover, in this match against Granada, at least Real Madrid also played at home, so of course Real Madrid will still be able to score more goals in the remaining minutes that are still quite a lot in this second half.

Rodrigo hàs being in his super form since on the 8th of November and he has being scoring goals. He scored the second goal for Real Madrid in the second half with a rebound after Bellingham took a shot that Granada punch out directly to Rodrigo and he scored with a powerful strike to finish and netted the post. Bellingham has also been of assist and also scoring goals as in this match he doing great.

Rodrigo has scored seven goals in his last five games and I think that with him and Bellingham, Vinicius absence isn't that felt. Real Madrid has been in full control of the match since the first half till now and they have taken back the first position on the table with a clear three point victory over Granada. Real Madrid 2-0

[G_Besar]

Girona performed really well against Valencia. They did not break the deadlock though. They actually conceded first in this match. But in the end, they were able to make a very good comeback. They were able to score 2 goals and win the match. And honestly, I expected them to win this match because the way they were performing in this match was really incredible. Even though their opponent was able to score 1st in this match, they did not have any control over this match. So it made it easy for Girona to make a comeback. But of course, they have to be given a lot of credit for actually making a comeback.

Cristhian Stuani was the savior for the Girona team in the second half of this match by being able to score two goals to bring Girona to victory at home. I also saw that Girona really controlled the match quite well even though only two goals were scored because one of the goals in the final minutes of the match was canceled due to offside. As a result of this victory, Girona continues to stay at the top of the La Liga standings with the same points.

[rendravolt]

Oh man, Girona is still not finished until week 15 and they even made a comeback win in the match against Valencia. I thought that when the first half ended without a goal there was a possibility of a narrow victory for one of the teams and here Girona appeared very attacking from the first minute. It's just that Valencia also didn't want to go home empty-handed and they took the lead first through a goal scored by Hugo Durro in the 56th minute. After that Girona's motivation became even greater because they had to quickly turn things around in the remaining minutes and they succeeded in doing so with a brace from by Stuani. Girona never gave up until the last minute and this proves their winning mentality.

Remember, Valencia has not been a good team this season and they cannot do better against a consistent team like Girona. Valencia can't expect too much and honestly I would be surprised if they managed to beat Girona in that match. Luckily for Girona, they got a comeback in the last 10 minutes of the match and that made them secure 38 points even though they had to come in second because Real Madrid had a head to head goal lead.

Real Madrid just won the match against Granada. Bellingham failed to score in this match, but two goals from Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo were enough to secure 3 points. Next weekend Real Madrid will visit Real Betis headquarters, meanwhile Girona will visit Barcelona headquarters. There will be a difference in points between Real Madrid and Girona next week, but we'll wait.

[EFS]

Girona is going really impressive, they make a comeback very often. This time they changed the game in last ten minutes. Next week will be harder though.
Real Madrid played in very slow tempo and controlled the whole game. They didn't get tired much. Brahim Diaz was man of the match, Bellingham couldn't score but Rodrygo is going really good. He scored 7 goals in last 5 games. Despite too many injuries, Real Madrid make no mistake. They took the lead again. Now top two teams will wait big game tomorrow very relaxed.
