La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

In my opinion, Barcelona will defeat Girona in the match even if Barcelona is not performing well because they will not try to lose the match in the camp nuo I just think that even if Barcelona plays poor games, Girona can just share points with each other like playing a draw in the game but I just trust Xavi in will try his best to defeat Girona and continue chasing the league title, However, Barcelona cannot win the league because they have already made mistakes that led to Real Madrid defeating them at Camp Nou, and I don't think they can defeat them even if they come to Real Madrid's home becpause they are in good form and if Barcelona makes any mistakes and allows Girona to win, it will be a very shameful thing for coach Xavi because many of his key players have returned from injury and can perform well on the field.

Barcelona is the favorite in the match against Girona, but that will not affect the outcome of the match for either of them. In my opinion, Girona will not target victory against Barcelona because they are self-aware of the depth of their squad and also their experience in the league. Barcelona is certainly better and has balance in the team, while Girona is playing well because of the confidence of its players. The mentality of the two teams is very different, including the two coaches.

This match isn't really a matter of considering the squad the club has because Girona have been performing well in almost all their matches so playing Barcelona with same squad wouldn't be an exemption but for the fact that Girona hasn't played much of the big teams in Spain apart from Real Madrid makes it difficult to confirm their strength against bigger teams but with the fact that Real Madrid won them will also make Barcelona to win them in other to minimize their chances of going close to the league table again and for the fact that Barcelona won a competitive side like Atletico Madrid will make them to play Girona with high spirit and make sure they win them.

João Félix the player of Barcelona had a perfect performance so far in the games we saw from this player. 17 games and 5 goals is not bad for this player and that's why I think Barcelona wants to even buy this player permanently. However, I don't think if Atletico Madrid will sell João Félix to Barcelona for a cheap price, and considering the current financial situation in Barcelona, that's hard for them to spend money on this player.
Barcelona's first plan is to send a 30 million euro offer for this player to Atletico Madrid and if they reject the offer Barcelona will again can try to have this player on loan for a longer time.

I agree with your point, but can't we give Girona some hope in this match? Remember, they've been playing well to maintain their current league position; it won't cost them anything to put in more effort in this match to avoid losing all three points to Barcelona; at the very least, they can settle for a draw in this match if they want to.

Girona are going to make it very difficult for Barcelona. I don't get why people feel they don't stand a chance against Barcelona.. I also believe Barcelona are favorite and they have a better chance to win because they've been getting better recently, but concluding that Girona don't stand a chance is just wrong.
Why I'm anticipating that match is because I believe it would be a very attacking match. Both teams don't sit back and defend. I don't believe Girona would sit back and just allow Barcelona to be comfortable on the ball.

Another match that would be interesting to watch is Betis vs Madrid.
Although Betis is not in top form, they can cause trouble for Madrid. Real Madrid would prefer Girona and Barcelona to draw so they can win Betis and extend their lead further. It's a very promising week for La Liga .

I am of the same opinion that this game is not like 50/50 because I think Barcelona is ahead, but I think a 60/40 game could be realistic. And that is enough to win it. Girona doesn't need the ball all the time to score. They have the best offense in the whole La Liga. Scoring goals is not a problem for them. But they should try to avoid an early goal as Barcelona does have the quality to protect a lead and waste time with lots of tiki taka.

If anybody thinks that Girona aren't a serious contender in the Spanish La Liga this season, then the person must know nothing or probably have very little knowledge about football because considering the performance of Girona in the Spanish La Liga this season, it's very obvious that they in for a serious business. Many believes that Barcelona are more of a serious contender for the league title than Girona because they have a better squad in terms of quality of players when compared to the Girona side but Girona has been able to get to where they are currently playing as a team instead of relying on individual brilliance of their players.

The race for the Spanish La Liga title is still very much open but writing Girona off is a disrespect to the team, their fans and management after they've achieved so far in the league

[TelolettOm]

The conditions for Barcelona to win this season are certainly not easy because the opponents they will face are of course very great and the performance of their players is very good, and Barcelona of course must be consistent in achieving victory. I think Girona will definitely appear confident, as will Barcelona. In my opinion, by playing at home, Barcelona certainly has the potential to excel, yes, with lots of quality players there is indeed the potential to win against Girona, and of course I like cool Barcelona players like the one who scored that goal. against Atletico Madrid namely Joao Felix and he also scored a goal when playing against Porto. I hope he can show his best performance in the next match against Girona to make it even more exciting.

They may be not in the best condition but they are very capable to beat a team like Girona. Barcelona has quality and experienced players, no one will doubt that they are strong enough to face Girona players although they are on fire. You're right, Barcelona will also have better motivation because they play at home in the upcoming match. Since Lewandowski and Felix are in a good condition, I'm sure they will contribute in scoring goals. I expect that Barcelona will beat Girona with 2 goals at least, and they get 3 points to shorten the point gap. However, it probably won't be an easy game for Barcelona because Girona has a good team work in playing.

Not really. The best offense is owning by real madrid at this moment, girona needs to put defensive line as the main concern. real madrid was able destroying it. means that if everything is still possible to happen at this moment.
Barcelona might become the favorite club in the upcoming match but who knows. Everything is very possible to happen. I hope that a miracle will come to use.
Girona shall also become a threat for barcelona to lose three points right now. Everything is still possible to happen. I would probably took double chance for this match. No reason to put my money into the risk.
It's not advisable caused by this match is very hard to predict. I meant if we are talking about the possibility for barcelona to win is pretty small against girona. It can win with narrow score but let's see that.

I think Real Madrid's job won't be easy at all this week. Because they are playing an away game against Betis. The games between these teams have nearly always ended up with close scores. Betis have mostly been a challenging opponent for Real Madrid. I think this can be seen again at least in this away game.

Betis are one of the least losing teams this season. Because of getting too many draws they are at the seventh position in the standings. However if they get even one point against Real Madrid that would be in favour of them. There is a possibility for this in my opinion and I don't want to risk my betslip by adding Real Madrid win to it.

Betis has been stabilizing tremendously in recent weeks. This won't be a simple task for Real Madrid and is never easy against Betis in their home stadium. But often times you don't know what you get from them. It seems to be more stable for now, but I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid wins the game like 1-3 or 1-4. However, I would also not be surprised if Betis can win some points against Real Madrid. It's a good game and Barcelona and Girona will be watching closely as this would give them a chance to get closer to Real Madrid.

[Tony116]

Not a bad week, Girona will be playing against Barcelona, that should be a fun game because everyone thinks that Girona is a great team but I think that they are not all that great, I believe that they are not actually all that good neither. I understand that the points they collected so far makes them feel like they are a good team but when they face Barcelona the real result will show itself.

I think Athletico Madrid will not have trouble against Almeira neither, and I think Madrid should beat Betis easily as well, so far this week it looks like quite good teams and good matchups, Bilbao may end up beating Granada as well that's true and could be wagered as well if you want to, feels like a good win weekend for us.

I don't know how some persons see football,you are under- estimating Girona,but forget that they have been ontop of the league for a while,and are still playing a better football to show that they are serious and they mean business,and are up to something this season.However,I know the game is really going to be a tough match,and it won't be easy for Barca to win them like that,rather,it would end in a draw,but I still think with the way Girona are playing,they have a chance of grabbing the three points in this encounter.
Barcelona are playing really well,but when it comes to scoring goals,they find it difficult in that area because Lewandowski is no longer in the kind of form he was last season.If I am to give my prediction on this game,I will go for a draw.

On the other hand, indirectly you seem to have underestimated Barcelona who will play at home. Barcelona is the best team compared to Girona, even Girona themselves will not say they are better than Girona for whatever reason. I am not leading an opinion that belittles any team, including Girona, but on paper Barcelona is the better team.

Just because Girona has more points in the last 15 matches than Barcelona, ​​that doesn't make Girona completely superior against Barcelona. No one would dare bet $100 on Girona to draw against Barcelona, ​​unless you just want to throw away the money you won in the previous match. I'm sure of that, so I think some of you are just underestimating Barcelona and its capabilities.

The match between Barcelona and Girona is going to be very interesting. Because this match is a must-win for Barcelona. If they do not win this match, it is going to be pretty much a disaster for them. I am pretty sure if Barcelona is unable to win this match, Atletico Madrid is also going to get ahead of Barcelona on the table. Because I also agree that Atletico Madrid is probably not going to have any problems trying to beat their next opponent. So it is all on Barcelona if they actually want to stay at the top of the table and also ahead of Atletico Madrid.

I'm going to play this game, it will be infavour of Real Madrid. There's no presence of risks when Madrid will play Betis. There's no worth for any match, other than featuring the odds to win and the big ones to become losers. Real Madrid facing Real Betis, a draw game? In the first place, there's absolutely no need to worry because Real Madrid are topping with fully confident, winning three points becomes so easy for Carlo Ancelotti men, they have aims and threats and I don't count Betis to become one of these problems for Los Blancos.

It is not an El Classico and I am quite sure that it has less importance than any match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona will need to win it not because this match is a big one but it is because they are currently the champion of La Liga and are defending the crown.

If they can not beat Girona and get three points from this opponent, they will waste one chance to reduce a point gap against Girona from 4 points to only 1 point but they will also give Real Madrid an opportunity to expand the four point gaps to 5 or seven points gap after this match day.

I really think Barcelona are considering Real Madrid as their biggest competitor for La Liga title in this season. Girona is like an underdog and they will not be able to maintain their excellent form for too long.

Of course, this is something I think about as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are two teams that make more sense to consider as title contenders than Girona. I know there is a possibility of Barcelona losing some important games like against Girona or Rayo Vallecano, but it seems very abnormal to compare Girona and Barcelona's achievements so far just because Girona is having a great season.

Some users go too far and that's never a good thing. As a Real Madrid fan, of course I would be happy if Barcelona dropped points, but I would never underestimate Barcelona against any team because of their achievements so far. Xavi knows his team has a good lead against Girona, but he is also aware that Girona is a team that has the potential to make them lose points.

@Falconer personally I’m expecting Barcelona to treat Girona as a tricky opponent and I don’t think that Xavi will even try to underplay them because he knows if they drop points now it’ll hurt them a lot. Also on the other hand Girona would be keen to win this game because it would boost their morale and effectively tell other team’s they’re firmly in the title race.

I agree with you about Real Madrid-Betis. Meeting Betis, especially at their home field, is never easy for Madrid. Their previous clashes were nail-biters, so I expect this one to be too. Betis is known for shocks, especially this season with their draws. Even if they're seventh after these draws, they're still dangerous. This Madrid bet doesn't appeal to me. Madrid is in great form, so I don't doubt them. Betis could steal a point or more in their current form. These matches make the competition attractive and unexpected

Points will be deducted and the exact points will be added if a club plays well, and clubs' rankings will tumble. Xavi Hernandez has mentally prepared for his team's future performances as well as the fiercely stable Girona this season. Girona requires winning points, while Barcelona demands winning points as well. Unfortunately, only one of them will gather three points, or if feasible, they will record a draw tie, and both of these teams will go home with only one point. It can big surprise if Barcelona doesn't win the match and allow Girona to come out topping.

Real Madrid would still find means to win the game, finishing this half strong is something Real Madrid can do and I know they'll see through this game. Yes without some key players, but they have the old G's who can still come in to help decide the game. When you take a peep at their past meetings, they've had nothing more than three goals on the last five meetings. Would be a safe one to bet enhh?

Real Betis was consistent all of October until November, ( Late November ) when they started losing important points. In the last five, they know they can't boast of nothing. That's a poor one honestly. Two wins only. Optimistic this is mot the game Real Madrid would lose. They should still be at the top at the end of the game.

[DanWalker]

I agree with your point, but can't we give Girona some hope in this match? Remember, they've been playing well to maintain their current league position; it won't cost them anything to put in more effort in this match to avoid losing all three points to Barcelona; at the very least, they can settle for a draw in this match if they want to.

Another match that would be interesting to watch is Betis vs Madrid.
Although Betis is not in top form, they can cause trouble for Madrid. Real Madrid would prefer Girona and Barcelona to draw so they can win Betis and extend their lead further. It's a very promising week for La Liga .

I don't think the match is going to be such an easy win for Barcelona. Because I think Girona is very much capable of beating Barcelona, especially in this season. I am saying that just because of the performance that they have shown so far. Girona has been really good in this season. So it is definitely going to be a mistake from Barcelona if they think that they are going to win this match easily. And that mistake is something that might actually cost them the match in the end.

On the other hand, Barcelona definitely has to win this match. If Barcelona fails to win this one, I'm going to have serious doubts about them being able to defend the La Liga title successfully.

I would say the 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid in the last match will give the Barcelona players a boost mentally. The  Barcelona team is strong but the performance of this team is not regular this season. The team is consistently failing  to perform well. Atletico Madrid is one of the strongest squads in La Liga this year. Since Barcelona managed to win this match, I believe Barcelona will  not make any mistakes against Girona. Barcelona is very strong in home matches. Since Barcelona is playing at home against Girona, I consider Barcelona as favorite in this match and I am willing to bet on Barcelona to win.

An interesting match I won't want to miss this week. Interesting because Real Betis have always shown that resilience in fighting battles with Real Madrid and always maintain a fierce competition in the pitch with the Elite Madrid club over the time. I took my time to go through the last 5 games they played together and it's a result of right competition between the duo, you find more draws than wins in the last five games they've played both home and away for both clubs. And whenever there was a win in those matches, Real Madrid always find a way to manageably escape a narrow win over Real Betis.

Why it will be interesting this time around is that a draw can be threatening to Real Madrid right now as Girona is right behind them with same point difference and a drop in 3 points will seriously injure the club as that may bring them to the second or third position down the table. Whereas on the other hand, if Real Betis wins the match, it will push them to the fifth position surpassing Sociedad and Athletic club which would have been a dream and good luck for them. So, both clubs will have to be hot on each other in this game and I don't think there will be much difference in terms of performance difference between the duo on this game as compared to the last 5 games they've played. So, it is either a narrow win or a draw for both clubs.

Real madrid is very strong. It's quite hard for betis to equalize its performance to the real madrid in this game. Madrid is now trying to miss and opportunity to get three points. In fact, madrid is better in everything compared to the betis.
Like you said above that if im sure that real madrid will be trying so hard in defending its position as the a club that is leading the la liga right now. Missing three points are going to be a disaster caused by madrid can take an advantage due to the match between barcelona vs girona.
It's hard to miss it. Madrid must not get unacceptable result like draw or lose. It's caused by once madrid will get draw against barcelona will help madrid to extend the gap even bigger by two points.
Madrid needs to keep up consistently gather three points from betis in the upcoming match. Im sure that bellingham or rodrygo will become a superhero for real madrid.
