La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hd49728]

Despite being impressive this season I think Girona should focus on earning enough points to earn them a place in Europe next season and not allow the distractions of title derail them, though dreaming big wouldn't be a bad idea but I still maintain that a place in Europe(the champions league) is what's best for them at moment. Playing against Barcelona is gonna be a big challenge for them considering Barcelona's recent form but I think they equal to the task because they have alot of players from different positions that can match barca's players,  so it will be huge for Girona if they can at least get a point out this match.

That is a realistic target for Girona with their limited experience in La Liga, feeling on top of the league and limited player resource as well. They should simply focus on each match, try to play it with their best and don't set up too ambitious goal for this season.

Winning as many matches as possible and when the season has like 10 last match days, Girona can seriously think of what they can achieve in La Liga this season. Top four looks to be unreachable for Girona but a spot that is high enough for them to be eligible as one of representative for La Liga in Europa League or Conference League will be cool for Girona.

They will probably face with a bigger problem in a next summer transfer, when big clubs will try to buy best players in Girona and I am really sure that those players will not refuse chances to join big clubs.

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

Before the match started, I predicted that the match would end in a draw with more than one goal scored by both teams. But in fact, the game was quite impressive, forcing both teams to play carefully so that Barcelona was only able to score one goal. Lewandowski has lost his sharpness in several matches and the moment against Girona should be an opportunity for him to score goals again. Felix has shown his class again and maybe he will be one of the important players that Xavi will entrust until the end of the season.

It is difficult for Barcelona to win the match against Girona because Blanquivermells' performance has been quite solid so far and Girona has even been much more productive and has not conceded too many goals. I think a draw might be a consideration because both of them will definitely play more carefully so as not to lose full points in the match.

Robert Lewandowski loss is magician touched scoring goals in last three matches all competition, Alaves is the last team scored by  Lewandowski and have been one month with three matches difficult for scoring goals although Xavi Hernandez keep trust him with regular position. Girona as against teams for Barcelona next match and I don't sure they can defeat the 2nd standings awhile with impressive performance without unbeaten last eight matches all competition.

On fire performance from João Félix and helped Barcelona won last match against Atletico Madrid bit close inconsistency performance from Lewandowski, I think he need to show his best performance for scoring goals again after have new rumor with Xavi Hernandez want to recruit Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Moratta.

I remember that when Barcelona and Real Madrid dominated it was boring, but I'm very happy because I'm a Real Madrid fan. Today is different Girona was able to give a surprise until week 15. Let's see until the end of the season if they are able to stabilize. If it can, it's a big surprise.

Others I heard Real Madrid made a final offer for Mbaape. Although it looks unofficial because FIFA prohibits the offer of players a maximum of 6 months before the contract is completed. It seems that January will be the last offer Madrid will submit

Based on the good results Real Madrid has developed in this season, showed that they are more stronger than Barcelona because Barcelona are still struggling with third position in the la Liga league table which is not giving their fans joy in this season. Girona is really surprising people in this season with good performance to stand in the second position to drag the title with Real Madrid, and if care is not taking, they will take over the first position from Real Madrid in their remaining matches. If Real Madrid manager succeed in bring Mbappe into the team soon, I think it will improve the team more in a way many teams will be afraid of Real Madrid in any competition.

Only scored 1 goal is not a problem because the most important things is thats Barcelona can winning the match, Atletico Madrid is a difficult opponent because Atletico Madrid keep their defense tight, so Barcelona is able to appear impressive in the match, luckily Xavi used Joao Felix in this crucial match and Joao Felix was able to score a goal for his team which resulted in the victory. Lewandowski cannot be relied on as a whole because Lewandowski is not as sharp as before and Xavi can rely on Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo in the next match.

Girona is indeed in good form this season but in my opinion Girona is not as strongst as Barcelona. I am sure thats after the match against Atletico Madrid this times Barcelona will returned to wins ways, Girona was previously just a mediocre teams and Girona had already suffered a defeated when they host Real Madrid previously so in the next matches Barcelona will have greater chances of wins if can use it well.

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.

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.

You are generally right about the number of shots being equal for the two teams, but that is not the most compelling statistic in this game. Valencia didn't only have 24% ball possession, which by the way is extremely low, but they also had a passing accuracy of below 70% (68% to be exact). They didn't get into the game ever. Of course they are no amateurs and will have their small chances with counter attacks, but I doubt that anyone would try to convince me how well Valencia played when about every third pass of theirs missed the target, which means did not reach a teammate. That was not a good game for Valencia.

The presence of another team amidst the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona will make the competition even more lively and competitive. It would feel boring if the competition was only dominated by two clubs without any competition from other clubs. Girona presence in the competition will provide a new atmosphere in La Liga, I also hope that Atletico will be able to maintain its best performance to add to the list of teams competing for the title.
Atletico defeat to Barcelona was natural because they faced a strong team. Atletico must avoid losing points to small teams to maintain their chances at the end of the season.

This offer indicates that Real Madrid have not given up on getting Mbappe, Real Madrid has been targeting this player for a long time but they have not succeeded in bringing him to the Santiago Bernabeu. It is difficult to imagine how strong Real Madrid would be if they managed to get Mbappe from PSG, even though they currently don't have a striker who can replace Benzema, Real Madrid's goal productivity is still very good.

Barcelona not in form? I supposed. Inconsistency in matches under Xavi Hernandez is not worthy because I'm sure Xavi always goes for the best players and if he notice a player doesn't meet up the require objective, that's the end, he will sometimes give you more chances to prove yourself and if fail, he then dropped to the benchsquad. I wouldn't blame Robert Lewandowski for not scoring goals in the past games played for Barcelona this season, we know he return from injury and he's yet to find that particular good footing on the ball.

[rendravolt]

Bad news has come to Real Madrid again, because they will lose one of their key players for the rest of the year and that is Dani Carvajal. It was reported that Dani Carvajal suffered an injury to his soleus muscle and is likely to be absent for up to 3 to 4 weeks. This month of December seems to be over for Dani Carvajal and he will return to strengthen Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup early next year.

Currently the only remaining RB option is Lucas Vasquez and I don't think that's a bad option for Real Madrid, at least they still have Dani Carvajal as a back-up to cover the end of this year. Well, I hope Dani Carvajal recovers quickly and right now the team really needs his role to strengthen the defense line, especially now that Real Madrid is at the top of the standings.

I don't think that will affect real Madrid performance, although I know that cavajal is the best player that can play right back very well but I believe real Madrid have another player who will take the position which is Lucas vaquez,  Lucas is also good in that position and I believe he can help, real Madrid are having many problems this season b6 having injury player's but if we still look at the team will nothing change, there are some player's that can help the team performance very, Rodrigo, Bellingham, Valverde and Toni kroos are still their and I believe that this players are capable of moving real Madrid to a good position before the injury playe's will be back in January.

Indeed, the most important thing is that Real Madrid still has other options to replace Dani Carvajal and it seems that their back line is still quite safe. The depth of Real Madrid's squad can indeed overcome all existing obstacles and even though it is doubtful because they don't have a number 9 player until now, they can still be productive. I still can't wait to see Arda Guler's debut and maybe he's the only one who hasn't played a single match this season because his injuries often recur. So far there have been no problems from any line, but if Real Madrid appeared with their main squad from the start of the season, they might have a point difference from the team behind them.

This weekend Girona consistency will be tested because this sunday they will fight against Laliga champion candidate Barcelona and obviously if we talking about head to head statistics Barcelona is too strong for Girona even in the last 4 meetings Barcelona can able to gets 3 wins and although Girona performance was quite impressive this season but they still have a problem with their consistency while met big team and the latest result is several weeks ago Girona was lose from Real Madrid with big scores and in this match too i think the result will not so different especially Barcelona at Camp Nou was very strong and it's not easy to beat them at there so my prediction is Girona will gets their second loses from this match

I don't think like you. Girona is not a team to be taken lightly. It is true that they lost against Real Madrid, but they also beat many strong teams and continue on their way. I believe they can beat Barcelona. While Barcelona is going through difficult times, I think they will lose against Girona, which is pushing for the top in terms of performance.

Not really. You can't compare the old girona with the current time. Girona has been doing some improvements, and this makes club consistently staying at the top place. Real madrid would be thankful to the girona if it will able to get draw against barcelona.
Im hoping that girona will get draw. It will help madrid to make the gap to be even bigger than before. The chance for draw to happen is bigger than barcelona to win the game. Barcelona is always struggling in any game.
I don't wanna mention atletico madrid since it was always performing like shit when atletico has faced barcelona. Girona may show different thing and my wish for girona to get 1 point against barcelona.
That will be a win win situation for girona. I took double chance for this match. Michel can implement fully defensive strategy against barcelona. It will be very useful for the club to use counter attack as its main weapon.

[Solokan]

The match is quite difficult, but Barcelona seems more favored to win. Xav's injury should no longer be a problem because De Jong and Felix are ready to give their best performance. Apart from that, Xavi must take advantage of the Felix Moment. He must be able to awaken Felix's enthusiasm to provide proof that Simeone was wrong to throw him away. So it could be an extraordinary explosion for Felix in playing later. Apart from that, Barcelona will play at Camp Nou, they should have high self-confidence. I feel confident they can get 3 points.

That's George bro. I really enjoyed him tonight, he plays such a beautiful and vibrant football against his former club. He showed up his aptitude to Digeo Semione, saying that you are wrong with his decision to didn't get me into the part of his club. But anyway it was super fun with Atlatico Madrid because Barcelona midfielders made them so rigid they could not stop them, especially Frenki de Jong, who gave his best performance. Pedri and Gundogun also put in their best performances in the winning match.
But Joe Filix gives the authenticity of his signing to Barcelona by making his execution during those times when the club needs it, like the Atlatico match. Because the club need 3 points to lead behind Atlatico Madrid and get 3rd place in the league standings. And one thing more, I will tell you guys that before the match Joao Felix got sick and didn't train with the squad but hid played well from the whole X11 and gaive the victory against his rival Atlatico Madrid and taking the lead with 3 point to secure 3rd place in thee La Liga competition.

Barcelona fans deserve to be happy with the result of the match against Atletico Madrid. I didn't expect Joao Felix to celebrate like that when he scored a goal, but he did what he thought was good for his morale. Barcelona as a whole played well from the first half, but Barcelona almost lost maximum points at the end of the match if Inaki Pena Sotorres didn't make a save. He made 3 important saves and that has helped Barcelona secure 3 points at home.

Joao Felix was also the best player in that high-octane match yesterday and I think he was really happy with what he did. Pedri, Gundogan and De Jong played well, but it was a shame that Barcelona wasted too many goal opportunities throughout the match.

With the result 1-0 for Barcelona's victory, I felt less satisfied, because Barcelona had a lot of goal opportunities, and I don't know why they played like that, but Barcelona was very lucky to have Joao Felix in the 28th minute to put the ball in, now Barcelona got it. 34 points and still in 3rd place in the standings.

The 5-3-2 formation used by Atletico Madrid doesn't seem to have an effect on Barcelona because Barcelona can still attack even though there are so many positions in the defense line like j.Gimenez Hermodo n. molina. but indeed these two teams are quite good and of course they still want to continue to show their best performance and Inaki Pena is a savior for Barcelona because if Inaki Pena can't save the goal then Barcelona could lose and there will be a draw.

It is natural that Barcelona fans are happy because Barcelona won the match against Atletico Madrid.

However, in the future, Barcelona will be tested again against the team of C.Stuani and his friends, who of course, against Valencia, C.Stuani scored 2 goals which will certainly be an interesting match against Barcelona. and I also hope that in the next match Barcelona can take advantage of the opportunities well.

CELTA Vigo and Cadiz are two average team and playing against each other today, I don't expect much from them but just an average performance from two average teams. CELTA Vigo has the home advantage and it's an opportunity for them to get pass the relegation as they are playing with a team that is a point above them.

With the look of things Cadiz has an upper chance of wining Celta Vigo because if you check there wining history this season Cadiz has win more games than Celta Vigo and meanwhile Celta Vigo just came back from relegation this season because of there poor performance and with there current state now there is every possibility of them going back to relegation again this season because they are almost at the button of the league table but however Cadiz seem to have escape from going to the relegation this season because they have cross the line and also if they win there today's match it will be an added advantage for them but however let's watch how the outcome will be.

One red card can change the entire balance in the match. Cardiz received a red card in the 33rd minute and were down to 10 men. Before that, they had scored a goal and taken a 1-0 lead, but after the red card, Celta Vigo managed to score and the match ended 1-1. Cadiz is still not very comfortable.

Yes, it is true that it is impossible for any club to compete with only existing players after receiving a red card the balance of the players will not be stable and they will not be able to withstand attacks like when competing with 11 people and looking at Cadiz's performance, it is very likely that if they don't get a red card, they could win Celta's style of play is not that good.

I don’t think those times were boring because it was a competition between two clubs (at least two because sometimes Atlético interfered in the fight), if compared, for example, with the dominance of Bayern or Juventus, those were good times.
Now, at least on paper, there are 4 clubs fighting for the title and judging by how Barcelona are winning tough games, they will not give up easily.
As for Real's offer to Mbappe, I think that this is another rumor and fiction, Real is waiting for an offer from Mbappe and not vice versa.

I think Celta is a team consisting of players who are not at La Liga level and they are losing every match now. Seeing that they could not beat Cadiz, who played with 10 footballers for 57 minutes, I think they will not give them a chance to stay in the league anymore. Any victory they get will be a surprise.

The both teams have average performance which anything is expected as the out come, I was impressed with the way Cadiz defend themselves, if not because of their casuality I expect them to win the match, the 16 minutes goal they had give me hope for their victory, they look a bit stronger than Celta because they play in Celta home with 10 players since from first half and still managed to succeed with draw.

Girona i love their jersey and will get one soon, and Girona facing Barcelona is going to be much work and Barcelona might look weak but do not understand estimate them i want Girona  too win because for some weeks now they have been consistent and their head is in the game, I have faith in one two clubs this season in la Liga which are real Madrid and Girona because even Barcelona winning last season was just pure luck because real Madrid was distracted and Barcelona took advantage am sure that won't happen this season. With records Barcelona can defeat and records are just references so anything can happen am sure Girona won't allow Barcelona win them just like that so its going to be a game between legends, matches like this are sometimes very difficult to predict because you don't know were the surprises might just come from.

I don't think like you. Girona is not a team to be taken lightly. It is true that they lost against Real Madrid, but they also beat many strong teams and continue on their way. I believe they can beat Barcelona. While Barcelona is going through difficult times, I think they will lose against Girona, which is pushing for the top in terms of performance.

So, this is the correct opinion that Girona is not team that can be taken lightly or underestimated because they have succeeded in fighting and beating big team in La Liga.
Even though they have lost to Real Madrid, that can never be guaranteed because there are other matches that can give Girona full points.
They will meet again in February and we will see what Girona will bring to the match.
We may make Real Madrid the favorite but Girona greatness is dangerous threat to Real Madrid progress towards winning the title this season. Real Madrid clearly has the opportunity but Girona is team that will make things difficult and suppress Real Madrid progress.

In the match against Barcelona it was clear that Barcelona had the home advantage and Girona was not a weak team so anything could happen, including Girona winning.
But many people think that Girona will not win the match, but I personally would predict draw in the match between Girona vs Barcelona.
