La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Bitcoin_people]

This season Barcelona is so difficult to win a crucial match and even Barcelona is no longer a team that has more dominant ball possession when facing a balanced opponent. But in this match I was quite impressed with the appearance of Xavi's foster children especially for Rapinha, although not scoring goals and finally replaced. Excessive celebrations injured Atletico Madrid fans a little but not comparable to the treatment of the club to Him who never gave regular playing opportunities and this goal was quite emotional for Felix.

Lewandowksi lost his instinct scoring in the last three matches and Felix managed to carry out his duties as a front player in two matches. This is a pretty good result because Barcelona managed to maintain the opportunity to remain competing with the two top standings. The next match will face Girona and be an opportunity for Barcelona to minimize the lag points even though it looks difficult because Girona is far more consistent this season.

Barca did well i actually never expected them to win though both teams had good chances while barca had more but were only able to score only one, both team need to work on their finishing especially barca if they really want to win the league but i think they may possibly win against girona. Lewandoski was the worst he is more like a shadow of himself in that game good thing Felix step up against is former team but still yet he also miss a couple of good chance

Barcelona won the match it was not by a big margin but the match was a great attacking full game. Barcelona won at home by just one goal with the opposition not winning by much. Anyway, I think Atletico Madrid played well at Barcelona's home ground, they tried so hard to start the game with Barcelona but it was not possible. Barcelona took the lead in the 28th minute with a goal and then Atletico Madrid couldn't get the game going until the last minute. However, Barcelona are not doing very well in the points table due to which they are still behind Real Madrid and Girona. If Barcelona can win the match against Girona, then they have a chance to move to the top of the points table. Real Madrid are currently in the best form which is why they are at the top of the La Liga points table, Barcelona must perform better to take their place.

Lewandowski seems to lose his performance right now. I don't even see the importance of him in the game. Barcelona has been wasting many opportunities but luckily felix was able heling barcelona to get three points from atletico madrid. It's really hurt for atletico madrid caused by its player has become the one that was making it lose three points. Atletico played so badly against barcelona. No chance for atletico madrid to compete for the title race. Im expecting girona to be even harsh compared to the atletico madrid.

Xavi will miss felix and he needs to consider buy a new striker who can also play as attacking midfielder as well. Im feeling curious which player that is going to be targeted by barcelona once felix will be leaving from there.
Im sure atletico will not sell felix for the cheap price. The club will be willing to get lots of money from barcelona. Felix is happy in barcelona but he has long term contract with atletico madrid.

Celta Vigo and Cadiz are both struggling in La Liga and will be looking to end their winless run when they meet at Balaidos today. Celta Vigo have home advantage and a slightly better scoring record, but they have yet to secure a win at home this season. Meanwhile, Cadiz have also struggled in their away games, with just two wins on the road. With both teams dealing with a number of injury absences, they will likely struggle to break the deadlock and a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome. Both teams will be keen to secure a much-needed win, but their recent form and lack of goals suggests a draw is the most likely outcome.

It was quite unfortunate that the both teams that just came back from relegation is about going back again to relegation because of there inability to perform well on this season although is already known that Celta Vigo and Cadiz are not La Liga favourite so however for some seasons now they have not really make any improvement but instead they have been moving from  one relegation to another every season.

So actually the match between Celta Vigo and Cadiz is quite hard to predict because there both are of the same performance but however Celta Vigo will try all possible best to win in other to remove themselves from going back to relegation this season.

[slapper]

The match has been over, I there is no change with the score. Barcelona won the match with a single goal made by Felix. Barcelona is lucky that they signed Felix as a loaned player, he contributed well. Without Felix, Barcelona couldn't win this match.

When Chelsea played against Manchester City and Cole Palmer had to go against his old team, he scored a goal but did not celebrate so much out of respect, but Felix was everywhere, paired well with Lewandoski and scored and celebrated heavily not looking remorseful to indicate he loves Barcelona. The win for Barcelona means that they are still in the race to win the La Liga and are ready to take over if Real Madrid and Girona make mistakes. Barcelona will play against Girona next and that game's outcome will have a strong effect on the La Liga table.

Joao Felix has just shown to the world that he is more interested in playing for Barcelona than playing for Atletico Madrid. After his loan expires, Barcelona will want to sign him full time this time around but I am not sure it will be a smooth deal between them and Atletico Madrid. Joao Felix was awarded man of the match because of his exemplary performance in the match. Atletico Madrid has many chances also but Barcelona are lucky that their goalkeeper was able to save most of them. The title race is now becoming clearer and we can now see the teams that are on the top fight for the game.

Joao Felix has been brilliant for Barcelona, and his performance against Atletico Madrid is no exception. Xavi has helped him thrive, and his goal-scoring skill has saved Barcelona in important contests. Seeing him succeed elsewhere may hurt Atletico fans, but it shows his quality and versatility. Felix's efforts are crucial given Barcelona's troubles in key matches and loss of possession this season. I find it intriguing that Rapinha contributes without scoring. Finding their rhythm is vital as they try to catch Girona and Real Madrid. Barcelona can prove themselves and continue their rise against Girona. Felix's part in this revival is crucial, and his Atletico status will be funny

Finding their rhythm is vital as they try to catch Girona and Real Madrid. Barcelona can prove themselves and continue their rise against Girona. Felix's part in this revival is crucial, and his Atletico status will be funny

What I like about this is that he casually celebrates in front of friends and coaches who throw him away even though he is currently only a loan player from Barcelona.
Joao is one of the better players but his relationship with Simeone which doesn't seem to be very good make him feel like he is being kept away from Atletico and in this match it looks like he wants to release the feelings he feels inside.

The match was actually not very interesting in my opinion because in this match although there were many  chances but only a few were on target because the finishing of each club was poor.
But on the other hand the tension and the game was also quite hard so I still like this match especially there is a situation where Joao and Atletico make the match more interesting.

Joao Felix actually did not experience exaggerated joy. He celebrated normally after scoring. Atletico is his former team and came to La Liga thanks to him. However, positive memories may not always remain in minds. We can say that this was the case with Felix too. He simply celebrated his goal with joy and I must say that he scored a very nice goal. Maybe if the match had been at the Atletico stadium, he might not have celebrated the goal, but I think this joy in front of his own fans was quite proportionate.

That's quite natural because Joao Felix appreciates the former team he played for and celebrated the goal a little with Barcelona supporters because this match was played at their home.
Joao Felix was Barcelona's hero in this match, the only goal scored by Joao Felix made Barcelona win an important victory to stay within points of the La Liga standings.
Even though there were doubts about being able to win this match, the Barcelona team's performance was quite good, they played very carefully and even when they were 1 goal ahead they maintained their playing pattern more closely to maintain their lead.

Maybe if the match had been at the Atletico stadium, he might not have celebrated the goal, but I think this joy in front of his own fans was quite proportionate.

Joao Felix is ​​a loan player, in fact he is still linked to Atletico Madrid. It's just that this season, he plays for Barcelona. I read Laporta's brief statement, he said, if we don't make him permanent, he will return to his original club. I forget which newspaper I read and I cannot confirm the validity of the news. in several other newspapers, regarding his celebration of the goal he scored. For me, that's fine, especially since he was never considered by Altetico Madrid. Apart from that, Felix admitted that the action happened spontaneously, his attitude was a form of expression last summer and a celebration for his family.

And overall, I agree with what you said. In fact, this player from Portugal has good talent and progress to develop and become even more established. unfortunately, Atletico could not see the potential he had. or it could be, his dispute with coach Diego Simeone. To be sure, there are many other factors. I like this player, even if in the future he is not a Barcelona player. As a football fan, I see him as a hardworking player, apart from the skills he has. unfortunately, Felix is ​​not yet mature and established from my perspective. Maybe, in the next season he will be even more honed and even hone his stability in playing. As a Barcelona supporter, Felix's goal was a savior for us in last night's match.

Joao Felix has just shown to the world that he is more interested in playing for Barcelona than playing for Atletico Madrid. After his loan expires, Barcelona will want to sign him full time this time around but I am not sure it will be a smooth deal between them and Atletico Madrid. Joao Felix was awarded man of the match because of his exemplary performance in the match.

I recent interviews he has made it clear that he prefers to play for Barcelona than for Atletico Madrid and that he would want Barcelona to permanently sign him at the end of the loan spell. He made it clear that Barcelona playing style suits him better and he have never enjoyed playing at Atletico Madrid because they play a more defensive style.

He celebrated his goal after scoring his parent club and it definitely broke the heart of many fans and i am sure the players and staffs will be disappointed in his decision and this could even make the negotiation to sign him even more difficult because Atletico will not want to make it easy for him and Barcelona should they decide to sign him because they will now believe he have no regards and respect for them.

He was the hero in today match for Barcelona because one of Felix goals made Barcelona secure 3 points in a quite crucial match. Felix celebrated and it hurt the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans a little but it was worth it because he had tried hard and managed to score a goal in this match. Well, today win is also quite important for Barcelona because they are improving their performance in the standings to reduce the gap behind Girona and Real Madrid.

I think Felix gave his best performance because he was playing against Atletico Madrid probably to prove something to them which i am not certain about, I don’t know what he is trying to prove but i think his decision to perform excellently in this match has helped Barcelona to move up on the table to increase their chances of competing for the title this season. They are just 4 points behind Real Madrid and Girona, they just need to keep their excellent performance consistent to stay in the title race.

This season Barcelona is so difficult to win a crucial match and even Barcelona is no longer a team that has more dominant ball possession when facing a balanced opponent. But in this match I was quite impressed with the appearance of Xavi's foster children especially for Rapinha, although not scoring goals and finally replaced. Excessive celebrations injured Atletico Madrid fans a little but not comparable to the treatment of the club to Him who never gave regular playing opportunities and this goal was quite emotional for Felix.

Lewandowksi lost his instinct scoring in the last three matches and Felix managed to carry out his duties as a front player in two matches. This is a pretty good result because Barcelona managed to maintain the opportunity to remain competing with the two top standings. The next match will face Girona and be an opportunity for Barcelona to minimize the lag points even though it looks difficult because Girona is far more consistent this season.

Barca did well i actually never expected them to win though both teams had good chances while barca had more but were only able to score only one, both team need to work on their finishing especially barca if they really want to win the league but i think they may possibly win against girona. Lewandoski was the worst he is more like a shadow of himself in that game good thing Felix step up against is former team but still yet he also miss a couple of good chance

Barcelona won the match it was not by a big margin but the match was a great attacking full game. Barcelona won at home by just one goal with the opposition not winning by much. Anyway, I think Atletico Madrid played well at Barcelona's home ground, they tried so hard to start the game with Barcelona but it was not possible. Barcelona took the lead in the 28th minute with a goal and then Atletico Madrid couldn't get the game going until the last minute. However, Barcelona are not doing very well in the points table due to which they are still behind Real Madrid and Girona. If Barcelona can win the match against Girona, then they have a chance to move to the top of the points table. Real Madrid are currently in the best form which is why they are at the top of the La Liga points table, Barcelona must perform better to take their place.

You sound like a Barca fan and don't get disappointed this season because I don't think that Barca will be able to win Laliga back to back due to the drop in their performance. If not for Jao Felix goal on the 28th minutes, maybe the match would have ended in a draw. However, they were able to secure all three points in that game. If Barca wants to win the Lea, they need to work on their performance to make sure that it has no comparison.

On the other hand, I think that Real Madrid are in their super form and you should know what that means, and if their injured players are back, then they will be in a super super form and no club will be able to win them either in their domestic league or in UCL. Real Madrid stands a better chance to victory in all two competitions than Barca.

Granada is indeed weak team and they are on par with Celta who in 14 matches were only able to have 1 win but at least Granada is slightly better than Almeria.
Last season Granada couldn't play in La Liga because of relegation and this season they were promoted but still failed and they are still one of the bottom team who have no chance or opportunity to rise.
I think Granada will only continue to be bottom team that gets relegated and promoted to repeat achievements like this.

Their match against Real Madrid is clear who is the favorite and in this match of course Real Madrid will have lot of goals.
The match is only match that makes it easier for Real Madrid to get full points.
This is free point gain for Real Madrid without any hassle.

That's true the match is going to be a free point for the Real Madrid team because real Madrid has meet stronger teams that has good performance and win them but coming down to the Granada team is like a free point  that's being given to Real Madrid because is quite obvious that real Madrid will surely use them to have a goal advantage over others.

Although considering how most team plays whenever they come from relegation I didn't see it on Granada because as they came out from relegation they are actually supposed to improve on there performance but instead they became worster than the way they are before.

2 - 0 was Real Madrid winning score over Granada and thanks to this victory Real Madrid was able to save the full 3 points and with total of 38 points took first place but this is not completely safe because Girona in second place also has 38 points.
In the future, Real Madrid and Girona will always compete and try to always win every match in order to have an advantage in getting points for the La Liga standings.
I sure that if Real Madrid and Girona meet according to schedule in the future it will definitely be interesting because Girona will try to avenge their previous defeat with score of 3 - 0, but unfortunately their schedule is still in February 2024.

But I think they don't have winning qualities and team like this if they don't make big changes will just come in and be eliminated and so on.
But it natural because to achieve big changes requires big budget to be able to bring in great players as well as coaches.
For Granada, it seems like they won't be able to spend such a large budget because they don't have consistent, larger amounts of income.

Talking about Real Madrid, it seems like they have a big opportunity this season in the UCL because looking at the various rumors circulating they have prepared several players in the next transfer window to strengthen the squad.
Of course, we have all been waiting for this development where Real Madrid becomes a truly strong team and can dominate every league.

[Lida93]

It is Joa' felix intervention that made the difference in the first 45 minutes at the camp Nou tonight. It has been a fierce battle tonight as Barcelona took the lead in the 28 minute after a lovely pass from Raphinha to jao felix to put Barcelona ahead in the game though Barcelona have lost a couple of good chances tonight

 but I think they are looking great tonight as they keep creating more chances in front of the athletico Madrid goal.Athletico Madrid have also done well tonight by not allowing Barcelona increase the deficit tonight because that would have been a disaster for them and would thrown them in chaos, as it is right now they still have a chance of coming back into this game and that's what's gonna make the second half more interesting.

Barcelona has many opportunities that can be converted into goals at least 3 shots were on target it's just that the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper can still anticipate it, unfortunately, Joao Felix scored the goal I understand what he wanted to say when he scored that goal therefore he celebrated the goal. Now Barcelona is in 3rd place and 4 points behind yeah there is still a chance to catch up moreover, Barcelona next opponent is Girona if Barcelona can win then they will be at the top of the standings for a while. If we talk about the opportunity to win the title then Real Madrid has a greater chance of winning with a percentage of 60% then Barcelona is in 2nd position while Girona is not yet on the list I mean they haven't been able to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Girona and Real Madrid are 4 points ahead of Barcelona. Therefore, even if Barça wins the Girona match, they will not be leaders in the league. Real Madrid is still at the top of the table and I think they will want Girona to win against Barça more because their real rivals are seen as Barça. Girona, on the other hand, is still showing Leicester championship performance and they seem to continue without losses this year.

Girona are in a current form that is threatening to both Real Madrid and Barcelona this season, the points gap between the three teams are not that much of a significance though it's an advantage but from what I perceive Barcelona will cling a victory over Girona when they meet as the team is now reawakening from it dull performance Seeing how they played against ATM last night.

Like I have recently stated in one comment previously, Girona might not maintain the momentum and strength of form they are now by February next year what they can possibly do is to fight to hold a spot on the table to qualify them for the UCL next season. The owners of the title we all know.

Celta Vigo and Cadiz are both struggling in La Liga and will be looking to end their winless run when they meet at Balaidos today. Celta Vigo have home advantage and a slightly better scoring record, but they have yet to secure a win at home this season. Meanwhile, Cadiz have also struggled in their away games, with just two wins on the road. With both teams dealing with a number of injury absences, they will likely struggle to break the deadlock and a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome. Both teams will be keen to secure a much-needed win, but their recent form and lack of goals suggests a draw is the most likely outcome.

These teams may go back to the relegation zone again. I have no faith in all of them to stay much longer outside of releagation zone. They were finished in la liga. They keep show the decline of their performance.
Those are terrible clubs to watch. They were always playing so badly without nothing being improved with the goes of time. Celta has three points gap toward cadiz. It means cadiz has little advantage over celta vigo.

The competitions to be relegated will be very strict as there are around 5 teams are performing so badly till this time. They are rarely getting points but cadiz is still having small chance to be far away from the relegation zone.

Let's see how cadiz will try to get three points or it will be finished for this season. Cadiz needs to make sure its club will be staying on the la liga caused by the club really needs to get income from la liga.

Valencia played very well in the first half and led 1-0 over Girona but dropped their performance in the 2nd half and Girona scored two consecutive goals in the 82nd and 88th minutes to win the match. It was a bad luck for Valencia. Valencia's performance was outstanding towards the end of the game. Big congratulations to them

But if you only cogitate about the timing of the goals that Girona scored, the impression could arise that Valencia played well, but in reality Girona was the far superior team and the goals were the result of their performance. If Valencia took home a point from this game, it would have been mostly luck in my opinion. Still they fought hard for as long as they could and perhaps sometimes they can save this one goal and not concede any, but in many cases this doesn't play out very well for the inferior team. Resisting so much pressure over more than 90 minutes and winning the game is rather lucky.

[Cryptmuster]

What I like about this is that he casually celebrates in front of friends and coaches who throw him away even though he is currently only a loan player from Barcelona.
Joao is one of the better players but his relationship with Simeone which doesn't seem to be very good make him feel like he is being kept away from Atletico and in this match it looks like he wants to release the feelings he feels inside.

The match was actually not very interesting in my opinion because in this match although there were many  chances but only a few were on target because the finishing of each club was poor.
But on the other hand the tension and the game was also quite hard so I still like this match especially there is a situation where Joao and Atletico make the match more interesting.

Xavi has long been adhering to a defensive strategy, which in the match with Atlético quite expectedly led to a very cautious game and it is not surprising that one goal decided the outcome of the match. Joao can celebrate as he wants, Simeone loaned him out and knows he underestimated the potential of this young striker, who caused Atletico's defeat.

There, Felix lost 17 million because he had to make changes to his contract with Atlético in order to be able to play on loan for Barça, but he did it without hesitation because he really hoped to prove himself in Barcelona with the hope that they would buy his contract. So there is a possibility that Joao will remain a Barça player in the future.

[Docnaster]

However, positive memories may not always remain in minds. We can say that this was the case with Felix too. He simply celebrated his goal with joy and I must say that he scored a very nice goal.

Even though there were doubts about being able to win this match, the Barcelona team's performance was quite good, they played very carefully and even when they were 1 goal ahead they maintained their playing pattern more closely to maintain their lead.

Unlike the English Premier League where the rules doesn't permit a loan player to play against his parent club, the Spanish La Liga doesn't have any rule of that forbids a footballer from playing against the team that holds their registration and that's why Joao Felix was eligible to play against his parent club Atletico Madrid yesterday with his Barcelona team. The Portuguese star scored the only goal of the game that made sure Barcelona grabbed all three points from that game but the most controversial moment of the game was when he celebrated with his teammates after scoring against Atletico Madrid, a gesture that's very uncommon among modern day footballers.

The celebration has drawn intense criticism from Atletico Madrid fans against their their player who's also spent last season playing on loan at Chelsea. After the game, Joao Felix was asked why he celebrated his goal against his parent club and he responded with "only people close to me know what I've lived". His statement concerning his goal celebration of yesterday has suggested that he has endured a torrid time at the Madrid club and saw his goal against them as a good way to repay the club and the management of their bad treatments when while he played for them. With Joao Felix celebration and statement, I doubt if he'll ever play for the Atletico Madrid team again in his career and would probably leave the club on permanent basis next summer

Resisting so much pressure over more than 90 minutes and winning the game is rather lucky.

Valencia did not perform badly in this match. The team has only 24% ball possession. However, we saw some excellent and powerful attacks from Valencia's players. Despite having 76% of the ball possession, Girona's players made a total of 9 shots, while Valencia's players also managed 9 shots. I would say Girona were very lucky in this match, so they managed to get full 3 points. Girona equalized in the 82nd minute with Stuani's goal. And just 6 minutes later Stuani scored another goal to give Girona the win.

But in reality Valencia could hold out for at least 80 minutes of the match. Given Girona's possession, defending the entire time would have been very difficult. They didn't play well, but they didn't play badly either, which means they were average.
I agree that Girona are beter than Valencia anyway, they're competing in the top half of the table which we know is a place that has always been dominated by 3 clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. and when they can be one of them, it's a good record that they can do.

[imamusma]

Girona are in a current form that is threatening to both Real Madrid and Barcelona this season, the points gap between the three teams are not that much of a significance though it's an advantage but from what I perceive Barcelona will cling a victory over Girona when they meet as the team is now reawakening from it dull performance Seeing how they played against ATM last night.

Like I have recently stated in one comment previously, Girona might not maintain the momentum and strength of form they are now by February next year what they can possibly do is to fight to hold a spot on the table to qualify them for the UCL next season. The owners of the title we all know.

Girona needs a high level of consistency to be able to secure 3 points in their next match against Barcelona. Because on paper Xavi has attributes and resources that are much better than what Michel has, we can judge him easily even though currently Girona has managed to collect more points. The latest victory over ATM proves that Barcelona has a fairly stable performance, I predict Girona will drop points in the coming week.

I am optimistic that Girona will be able to secure its position in the top four of the standings when the season ends, but I still doubt mention them whether to become a champion candidate. The match against Barcelona might be a reference for us to assess their strength in challenging the defending champions, the final result will give us an idea even though it cannot be used as a complete reference. Apart from this scenario, we need to appreciate Girona efforts, consistency and luck so far, because the surprises they have shown make La Liga even more interesting.

[temple]

A few years ago I would have hoped for Barcelona to win as well, but this time I don't know whether it is good for La Liga when a weakened Barcelona wins this game. It's always the best when the best team wins, but Atletico seems to have an edge over Barcelona at the moment and to keep the league exciting, having a Barcelona with so many issues being behind Real Madrid early on while stealing points from Atletico wouldn't be fun. I remember last season got boring when Barcelona was so many points ahead.

I'm sure it won't happen again like in the past, now Real Madrid is much stronger. Atletico is the same way and there is even Girona who made a surprise this season with the performance and strength they showed.

The match against Atletico Madrid will of course be very difficult for Barcelona, who are in a slump and have many injury problems affecting their players, so there is a big possibility that they will not be able to win this match.
I don't know how Xavi will be able to improve Barcelona's performance this season, if they are not active in the transfer market in January I think there is no other way and this season they will get worse.

I think the quality of all teams is a bit lower than it was like a few years ago when Real Madrid and Barcelona were unstoppable. But I agree that right now Real Madrid is stronger than all others, but that doesn't mean they are immune to mistakes. They have had their close games too when Bellingham saved them with some late goals. Consistency is the key to keep in touch with the top of the table, but that is no secret obviously. Real Madrid is good enough to dominate the league this season. Barcelona wasn't bad against Atletico Madrid, but I thought that Atletico would be more dangerous in that game. They had hardly any chances.

[G_Besar]

Girona are in a current form that is threatening to both Real Madrid and Barcelona this season, the points gap between the three teams are not that much of a significance though it's an advantage but from what I perceive Barcelona will cling a victory over Girona when they meet as the team is now reawakening from it dull performance Seeing how they played against ATM last night.

Barcelona itself will also still be overshadowed by Atletico Madrid because the number of games between the two is still not equal so there is still a possibility for Atletico Madrid to take third place from Barcelona. Apart from that, Girona at the start of this season was quite impressive with its performance so that Girona was the leader of the La Liga standings this season before being taken by Real Madrid. Which means Real Madrid is still much better than Girona and Barcelona this season.

Like I have recently stated in one comment previously, Girona might not maintain the momentum and strength of form they are now by February next year what they can possibly do is to fight to hold a spot on the table to qualify them for the UCL next season. The owners of the title we all know.

Yes, we all know which team is usually more impressive in every game of the season, but if Barcelona are unable to withstand Girona's impressive run next weekend, it will make it even more difficult to reach the top of the standings. Because narrowly winning at home to Atletico Madrid is quite normal for Barcelona so they shouldn't assume Girona is incapable of winning at home next weekend. So Barcelona must be able to play better against Girona and even better like they did against Atletico Madrid last night.
