La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Blitzboy]

The sad news in Barcelona is about their player Ronald Araújo. This Uruguayan player had a perfect performance in Barcelona since he joined there and because of that good performance, he got offers from some famous teams like Bayern Munich and obviously, if Bayern Munich sends an offer for this player Barcelona doesn't have a good financial power for a stand against them.

[img width=width=344]https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/12/10/EQgxo.jpeg[/img]

There has been no concrete news or rumors regarding this Barcelona defender, if I refer to Fabrizio Romano's report regarding Ronald Araújo in the last 12 hours.


Talking about Ronald Araújo in the match against Girona, his performance was the most inconsistent of the defenders and also the goalkeeper Inaki Pena who played poorly. Araujo and Inaki Pena played the most underperformed, compared to the other players. Apart from that, Balde, who replaced Christensen, also played badly. It seems that the rotation that Xavi implemented was not appropriate and failed miserably in the defense sector. even though Barcelona's midfield players played quite well, and Gundohan was again the most consistent player throughout the match.
Barcelona actually had many opportunities, but of the 31 total shots, they only converted 2 opportunities into goals. Finally, Barcelona suffered its second defeat in 16 matches this season. also, the only match that was outside my predictions from the 5 other matches that I predicted for matches in various leagues. Barcelona, ​​as we know, is having difficulty scoring goals.

So, Xavi should have several plans and strategies to overcome the problems he faces with his squad. As a Barcelona supporter, I am a little dissatisfied with the results of this match and what the coach implemented.
On the other hand, Girona is back at the top of the La Liga standings, an extraordinary job by Michel and his squad. I cannot deny that Girona has so far been the difference in the competition for the La Liga trophy so far. and yeah, congratulations to those of you who bet on Girona.

The numbers dont look good: 31 shots and only 2 goals? Thats not the Barcelona we know. We dont seem to have that killer sense in front of the goal. I mean, Girona did things a lot better. Even though they had fewer shots, they scored 4 goals. That hurts, especially since it happened on our home field. Also, Araújo and Inaki Pena really messed up this time. Defense doesnt seem to be working together at all, which is strange.

In the race for La Liga, we're now behind, and every game feels like a peak to climb. Xavi needs to really think about what he's doing. The center is doing a good job, but if we cant turn chances into goals, whats the point? Lewandowski's patchy hitting is also a worry. Everyone on the team needs to step up, not just him. We need to make some big changes to how we do things if we want to get back on track.

Girona certainly deserve respect for their performance this season. They have generally had good results this season. But their performances in the big games have been curious. In this match they answered those questions. Girona in La Liga and Bayer Leverkusen in Bundesliga are enchanting football fans this season. This season is more exciting because of such teams.

Girona and Bayer Leverkusen are making the La Liga and Bundesliga more exciting. It used to be normal to see teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona topping or winning the league but Girona has made the league unpredictable. The win over Barcelona has given them a two-point lead over Real Madrid. Hopefully, they will keep up this momentum and win the La Liga. Coach Míchel could also use the January transfer window to buy more players to make his club stronger.

In this match I found Barcelona's defense inadequate, they conceded 4 goals despite a good performance by Inaki Pena. If there was another goalkeeper on the pitch or if Inaki Pena was not on his best day, we could have seen a different score.

I premeditated that the match would be tough but it never crossed my mind that Girona would score up to four goals against a formidable side like Barcelona. This has shown that no defense is impregnable if a sound coach assembles a set of young vibrant attackers. Bayern Munich also suffered the same fate at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt when they conceived five goals and scored just one last week.

[Polkeins]

Barcelona suffered its second defeat in 16 matches this season. also, the only match that was outside my predictions from the 5 other matches that I predicted for matches in various leagues. Barcelona, ​​as we know, is having difficulty scoring goals.

Last night match result after losing from Girona become second defeated on their home in La Liga after first defeating by Real Madrid, its not good result for Barcelona for defending their La Liga trophy and right now left 7 points behind Girona on the top place. Still unbelievable with Barcelona losses from Girona last match although playing on their home not give much advantage with Girona scored 4 goals and first time for Xavi Hernandez have loss four goals in single match.

Since Robert Lewandowski inconsistent scoring goals on every games, Barcelona having difficulty for scoring goals and most winning match two or one goal only. But last night Lewandowski success make one goals but can't helped more for Barcelona keep losing from Girona and make difficult thing to let top standings position.

In fact, Barcelona have conceded 4 goals before, when they played Real Madrid in the cup, but the defeat Barcelona suffered against Girona really happened for the first time in history.
After this victory Girona's chances of winning La Liga have increased and I believe that now the main competitor is Real Madrid, although at the beginning of the season it seemed that without major reinforcement Real will not be able to compete with Barcelona.

Apparently Levandowski's best years are behind him, because really except for the goal from him was of little use, and in the final minutes when Barcelona were losing 2:3 he could have sronnyat score, but shot a header from a great position somewhere past the goal.

Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona even Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Barcelona because Barcelona is also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Barcelona's home. The most surprising part for me was that Girona actually defeated Barcelona.

Girona's performance throughout the La Liga competition has been outstanding, and if they keep up this great performance, they might end up winning the La Liga trophy at the end of the season. What I really appreciate is the hard work and effort the Girona players are putting into every match. They've played only 16 matches so far but have already earned an impressive 41 points, putting them at the top of the table. It's truly remarkable!

indeed the deserve to be respected after clearing doubt of many people against Barcelona despite the current form they still doubt their win. For Girona to come from no were and lead Laliga in the presence of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and many strong once, definitely we should understand that they are here to make a different and I am in their full support to win the league, unlike Bayer Leverkusen you said they are having hope because Bayer Munich lost, even in Premier league now Aston villa is also coming up, almost all the league have new challenge now and the worst part they appear with full force to destroy any teams that comes there way.

In this match they answered those questions. Girona in La Liga and Bayer Leverkusen in Bundesliga are enchanting football fans this season. This season is more exciting because of such teams.

The result was much more than my previous expectations because the Girona vs Barcelona match is match that is difficult to predict but I assume it will be draw or Girona might only win by small margin.
But in reality Girona managed to provide quite dangerous attack and scored 4 goals, Barcelona had home advantage and they dominated the match in possession and attack but only managed to score 2 goals.
This victory amazed many people and really considered Girona as strong candidate who could win the title this season.

Yes, Girona who topped La Liga and Leverkusen who topped the Bundesliga have succeeded in generating hype full of surprises.
These two team make this season football competition very interesting and generate hot conversations every day.

In this match I found Barcelona's defense inadequate, they conceded 4 goals despite a good performance by Inaki Pena. If there was another goalkeeper on the pitch or if Inaki Pena was not on his best day, we could have seen a different score.

Barcelona placed 4 players in defense and used 4-3-3 strategy, this strategy has quite strong defensive qualities but in the match against Girona precisely they failed.
Inaki Pena played well as goalkeeper and the main mistake in this defeat was the defenders who failed to block every opportunity for the Girona players to provide passes at the moment of attack.

Before this match i was underestimate Girona because previously they were lose against Real Madrid so i thought Girona will be lose again today because i thought they cannot performing well against the team just like Barcelona but surprisingly they were playing just like a big team that Girona attacking lines was very solid and they were very dangerous when their players did counterattack strategy and it makes Barcelona defensive lines was get in trouble and this was never happend before because usually Barcelona defensive lines was very solid

Laliga almost reach to half of season but Girona still able to managed their performance for every matches and previously  i was thinking Girona will be spend and lose but apparently i was wrong about that because they can compete and threaten Real Madrid even without star players so this is really good achievement because when Laliga starting nobody will thought Girona can able to occupy first place

Last night match result after losing from Girona become second defeated on their home in La Liga after first defeating by Real Madrid, its not good result for Barcelona for defending their La Liga trophy and right now left 7 points behind Girona on the top place. Still unbelievable with Barcelona losses from Girona last match although playing on their home not give much advantage with Girona scored 4 goals and first time for Xavi Hernandez have loss four goals in single match.

Girona made a very big surprise by beating Barcelona convincingly and even scored four goals against Barcelona. This is a strong voice from Girona that they are ready to make more surprise in this season and they even should be recognized as one of strongest competitors for La Liga title. They are not only an underdog but able to achieve something big in the season.

Girona proved that this season what they achieved was not luck. Barcelona now has to admit that and like it or not we are faced with a real competitor, even to Madrid even though Girona seems much better prepared. In my opinion, it is possible that Madrid is worried about what happened today. Because La Liga is starting to not be like it used to be. An unexpected club grows out of reach. From the start I said not to underestimate Girona, they are very serious about making La Liga a place to play, now after the surprising result that silenced Barcelona suddenly the fans fell silent and didn't think this was a mistake? in fact no, Barcelona is indeed in a worse condition today, its quality is below Girona.

For the time being I haven't and will appreciate them when they are able to make a difference of 6 points or a difference of two more wins than Real Madrid or when they have finished 20 matches.
I appreciated Girona's performance when they beat Barcelona at Camp Nou because they played an interesting game. Girona's finishing was much better in taking advantage of every opportunity to score a goal.

Amazing performance from girona but not for barcelona. People were expecting girona to win the game and they were right about the prediction. Barcelona was unable in playing equal against girona which was making it lose three points.
Glad to see that if real madrid and girona becomes even far away from barcelona. The competition for la liga this season is about real madrid vs girona. Madrid is the strongest club caused by it was never beaten by the big clubs in la liga.

Girona was fully dominating the match, the way it was playing the ball has reminded me with manchester city last season. I must be giving lots of appreciation for girona caused by it was able beating barcelona.
Glad to see my pick is coming true. Girona is such a very strong team at this moment and that's why it was at the second polace.

Girona's achievements so far cannot be said to be luck. Maybe it could be said that they were lucky to win twice or three times, but they have played their 16th match and only lost once. Of course this is not luck for Girona but Girona is the main competitor in La Liga this season.
In the match against Barcelona, Girona's game was very spectacular. And they dare to play openly and often control the ball. Their game is also fun to watch, not monotonous, the flow of the ball is smooth, the players move smoothly, the players dare to carry the ball. For me, Girona's success is partly due to having a defense led by an experienced senior player, namely Daley Blind, who is very steady in moving the ball forward and encouraging the enthusiasm of his friends.

This is the evidence that Girona is well prepared to do anything that will make them to drag this title with Real Madrid, because all eyes is on Real Madrid that they will be the team that will win this Italian league title because they started leading the table of Italian league competition over some matches now. Girona strikers are talented strikers and the first goal came 12 minutes and the second goal came 40 minutes to reduced the strength of Barcelona in their home, and Girona ensure they lead the match with  1-2 in the first half to make their manager happy. Now that Girona got 41 points to top the Italian league table and Real Madrid got 39 points to be in the second position, show that something can still happen to favour Real Madrid or Girona to make the points more higher than each other to determine who will win the la Liga league title this season.

The minutes played, every second was filled with tense momentum and there's only points that sets the differences between these clubs. Barcelona defeats have shown the whole world that they've decline performance and they will not be able to reach their peak this season, having nothing to boost about, lost points to Girona and Real Madrid who are the main contenders for the La Liga title this season. Girona humbled Barcelona at Camp Nou yesterday. An important test for Girona to check their stats in league matches but it turn out they're completely desperate for the La Liga trophy and currently topping #1 on the table.

In general, before the game, the odds for Barcelona’s victory were around 1.6 and for Girona’s victory 3++. Bookmakers always take cash flow into account, so it's safe to say that people generally expected Barcelona to win.
As for Real, they beat Girona 3-0, Barcelona 2-1 (both away games), but lost to Atletico. Therefore, Real's results are not as ideal as i would like.
As for the fact that now the fight for the title will be between Renal and Girona, you are greatly exaggerating - before this game, Girona’s chances of winning the title were about 20 (that’s literally 5%). Let’s say now they grow to 15 (6.6%) - this is still very little. Real's chances were 1.5 and now they will increase a little more (since the gap over Barcelona has grown). The only interesting point for me is whether Atlético will be able to surpass Barcelona in the eyes of bookmakers? In my opinion, this would be natural - Barcelona is weak, Atletico has a game in hand and a potential +3 point advantage over Barcelona.
If we talk objectively without taking into account the size of the “brand,” then now the contenders for the title are in this order: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Girona.

Yes, I admit that Girona performance was very impressive and amazing, managing to surprise everyone with a quite strong performance, but I will not equate it with other leagues because they each have their differences.
Even though Girona was able to beat Barcelona, the club failed to beat Real madrid, meaning big club like Barcelona and Madrid still have the opportunity to get rid of Girona from the top position and this season matches are still very long and there still a lot to go through so we only know Girona at the moment I'm in a very strong condition but that doesn't mean I can lead at the end the season and now I feel interested because the competition becoming more competitive to be able to maintain first position the points table.

[klidex]

~snip~

Yes, Girona beat last season's champion team, namely Barcelona, ​​​​and now I see that Barcelona is increasingly losing its performance, as well as being a lesson for Xavi so that he can rebuild Barcelona's performance, ​​but actually I also didn't expect Barcelona to lose to Girona , because when he played with Porto his performance was good and Barcelona won the match through goals from Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix with a score of 2-1 and from a mental perspective it was also very good. when Porto player Pepe scored a goal in the 30th minute but the performance of the Barcelona players did not decline and finally Joao Cancelo scored a goal for Barcelona and finally opened up the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players to be even more enthusiastic. and finally the victory was achieved by Barcelona but against Atletico Madrid I saw a slight decline and the proof was that they were only able to score 1 goal but fortunately the victory was achieved by Barcelona. So when facing a strong Girona team, I don't think it's surprising if Barcelona loses to Girona.

Yes, of course we deserve to congratulate Girona.

Indeed, this match was a bit surprising because Barcelona was in a bad mental state, where last season Barcelona was able to win the title, but this season it seems like Barcelona is having a little difficulty competing, it is even clear that Girona is a challenger for the big La Liga clubs to win the title this season.
I'm concerned about Barcelona situation. Apart from poor finances, Barcelona players are also experiencing a decline and Barcelona doesn't have enough money to recruit new players for can strengthen their overall performance, Xavi is a reliable coach, but if many Barcelona players experience a decline then Xavi will have difficulty developing the right strategy.

In fact, I wonder why Barcelona could be beaten by a team like Girona even though Girona is just a mediocre team trying to be impressive this season even though previously Barcelona got good results in the Champions League and in Laliga after beating Porto and Atletico Madrid but unfortunately in this match Barcelona had to suffer their second defeat in La Liga.

[Cryptmuster]

For the time being I haven't and will appreciate them when they are able to make a difference of 6 points or a difference of two more wins than Real Madrid or when they have finished 20 matches.
I appreciated Girona's performance when they beat Barcelona at Camp Nou because they played an interesting game. Girona's finishing was much better in taking advantage of every opportunity to score a goal.

Girona surprised me, I expected the game to be difficult because Barcelona have a very good defense, but the fact that Girona was able to score 4 goals against them is impressive. I didn’t think that after the away match with Barcelona, Girona would have a chance to top the table, this victory shows that Girona can resist the leaders and defeat them. They, along with Real, are still breaking away from the main group, but Atlético can still get closer to them, and Barcelona looks like it will not be able to defend its title this season.

It must be admitted that Girona is extraordinary, apart from topping the standings, they are also the most fertile team in La Liga and the great thing is that their goal tally is evenly distributed, almost no one always stands out, only Artem Dovbyk is on the top scorer list. This is very different from Real Madrid which has many classy players like Belingham and Barcelona like Lewandowski.

It could be said that Girona is a team as it is, which is currently trying and trying to become one of the superpower teams in La Liga. Hopefully we will be consistent and become league champions. On the other hand, Girona's success cannot be separated from its great coach, who can create strong and consistent game patterns/schemes with the existing player material. If you look at Girona, it reminds you of Man City. I see Girona as the same as the 2002 Brazilian national team, playing beautifully, attractively, entertainingly, but deadly.

Very good results achieved by Girona when they travel to Barcelona headquarters, the article this match is a very difficult match they play, and they also play at the opponent's headquarters. But they can give their best and managed to give defeat to Barcelona. Actually Barceolna also did not look bad, it's just that they were not effective enough in building a series of attacks. Instead Girona, with the pressure they received from the home fans, they were able to perform well and confidently so that they could create goal after goal. This result makes them return to the top of the standings utilizing the draw achieved by Real Madrid.

In contrast to what I said before, Barcelona should not underestimate Girona. because this team is quite productive in terms of scoring goals, even though they play the match as an away team. but I remain optimistic, if Barcelona can win this match like Real Madrid overthrew Girona in the first meeting. but what happened, the only prediction I missed was my own favorite team. For some reason, I can't be a little more neutral when researching and analyzing when Barcelona will play their match.
Most of my predictions for Barcelona failed. Maybe it could be because this team is one of my favorite teams. In last night's match, the performance of Barcelona's defensive players was really bad, especially for several players, including Inaki Pena who replaced Ter Stegen who had a back injury. I think this young goalkeeper needs more flying hours to become an established goalkeeper.

On the contrary, an extraordinary job was done by Michel and his squad in this match. I didn't think that Barca would be embarrassed at their own headquarters by Michel's sure squad. The first half of the season is coming to an end, there are only a few weeks left. However, Girona is still able to top the La Liga standings. In the next match, Girona will be even more confident, especially after beating Barcelona. However, it seems that the match against Atletico Madrid will be a new challenge for them which must be tested in the next meeting. well, there are no other words other than, this competition provides a new nuance and more exciting competition. So, let's just join in the excitement, after all, there are still lots of matches that La Liga will present until this season ends.
