La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Odusko]

This season we have clubs that have such appeal that the attention is centered on them. Usually we always talk about Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid which are the three clubs that always compete in the top flight. But this season a new club has emerged and this is even their second season in La Liga after being relegated, Girona.
No half-hearted, they are even at the top of the standings and with the composition of the players they have, obviously it is a very good achievement. Their existence in the middle of a big club is certainly a different threat than usual, and who would have thought they would be able to survive this far. For me when they can survive until the first round ends it is already something good, and hopefully they can survive until the end of the season.

The abilities of teams other than Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are actually doubtful, but Girona so far has been able to prove its capabilities in La Liga. Last season, although this team was a promoted team, but they were able to make a surprise by being able to stay in a better position before. And Girona management has the enthusiasm to become a big club, different from other promoted teams which are having difficulty in La Liga, perhaps because of big investors. Now this season their squad is very strong and yes they are a become threat to all big La Liga clubs. We will probably continue to talk about Girona next season, because it is possible that Girona will continue to improve their performance.

Atletico Madrid won their match against Lazio this tonight with a 2:0 which was a good record for the club in this group stage since Lazio is relatively a weaker club than Athletico Madrids for sure their winning in the game tonight was a well-expected one for the club and for sure we may be looking to place Athletico, but much more also who shouldn't have over confidence innthe club for the season since tethered be up against some other stronger and tougher clubs in the next stage of this leagues and if care is not taken this match could become the last game that the club will have such slid winning innthe match for this season.
If they face stronger clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona innthe next couple of days ahead.

The advantage for Girona is that they don't have any European competition to play so they get to rest more than Real Madrid, Atletico, and Barcelona. Although these teams are used to playing three competitions a season, and they have more experience than Girona, they have done fee so far.

Yep, we could say that this is an advantage for Girona to rest and prepare for their best performance again next time. Of course, their focus is only on La Liga. Moreover, they are currently at the top of the La Liga standings, which is actually very surprising and astonishing. Therefore, Girona's motivation and mental condition are certainly very good and on fire. Even though we don't know how far they will continue to be in first place in the standings, it cannot be denied that we should really appreciate their success so far.

In the next match, Girona will play against Alaves, and I think Girona should be able to win and get the full 3 points. Hopefully they don't waste the opportunity to always add more points. Meanwhile in the future. Both Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will have a divided focus, especially as their competition in the last 16 of the Champions League will certainly put greater pressure on them. So, this is Girona's opportunity to continue to stay in first place by consistently winning every match.

[TopT3ns]

IMO I think at the moment Girona are not really looking to focus on becoming champions because in this case apart from the season which is still long considering we are still in the middle of the season, their burden is now heavy with performance so rather than being bothered by thinking about the championship it would be better for them to continue to think about how their performance remains consistent.
At the moment Girona are still very good in terms of performance but indeed this is not a guarantee that they will continue like this so they must continue to try to make their performance stable so that their condition is maintained because with that their chances of competing in a decent position or even a title competition are always there.

It's impossible if Girona doesn't want to be champion because currently they are in first place and won't let Barcelona or Real Madrid or any other team pass their position, if Girona doesn't want to be champion this season then their game should not be as good as you can see until they reach first place from the top of the standings and having a high point value is the result of the team's hard work and they should be proud of becoming first champions in La Liga this season.

[Asiska02]

Girona is still not very safe from securing the title this season, because the difference in points with Real Madrid is only 1 point, at least Girona must continue to play consistently in every subsequent match so that their points remain safe and the distance with Real Madrid can widen their distance, despite the achievements of the season This is considered extraordinary, at least Girona is not big-headed and always puts pressure on Real Madrid, plus Girona will host Alaves in the coming week, at least they can win the match and hope that Real Madrid loses or is held to a draw by Villareal.

It is not going to be an easy task for Girona to get to keep this winning streak for a long time in the La Liga. I have also seen some confinement in them after beating Barcelona in their home, it shows how serious they are an willing to fight it till the end.

Girona hoping for a lose or draw for Real Madrid in order to widen the gap is not something ideal of them, they are now in the top positions of the La Liga table, every action from any team should keep them focus on winning theirs also. If they depend on that, it can lead to many disappointment.

They should also focus on their upcoming match against Real Madrid, that should be the right time for them to widen the point gap between them. If Real Madrid have lost before that time, it will be a booster for them to widen the point gap more and if they haven’t they won’t be disappointed by the result and will focus on winning their head to head match now.

Girona's main target can't be to win the La Liga title normally indeed. However things are going on really interestingly for them and even they must be really surprised with this look now. However unless they keep up this level until the final weeks of the season I won't be expecting their main target to become the champions still.

Because if they suddenly set their target very high the expectations and pressure will be much higher over them. This might have really negative affect over the players on one hand. Because right now they are playing much more comfortable. Even if this team finish the season in top 4 it would still be a huge success for them.

[mammusu]

Girona will be able to make many surprises this season because they are so ambitious to make new history in Laliga. It is difficult for other teams to overthrow Barcelona at Camp Nou with a big score but Girona can do it.

They already made surprises although it is still the first half of the season. They may have the big ambition, but their good teamwork that makes them to play very strong. People mustn't expect they will beat Barcelona at home in matchday 16. But they proved it by defeating Barcelona with 4 goals. Sure, no team can underestimate Girona now. Girona can challenge any team in La Liga because they have proven that they are capable to do it.

However, in terms of defense, of course their defense is not that strong because they have conceded 20 goal, But that is not a bad thing because Girona is able to turn many situations around in every match they play. In my opinion, Girona will be able to close the season in the top 4 and could even be the team that succeeds in winning the Laliga Trophy this season.

Yes, Girona defense may be the weakest line. But I don't think Girona have bad quality of defenders. They also have good midfielders to help the defense line to be stronger. So, I think Girona mustn't feel so worried about their defense line. They are conceded many goals because they are playing quite offensive. Well, I think Girona must finish in the top 3 if they can maintain their good performance.

Of course Girona cannot be underestimated this season because this season Girona has big ambitions to be able to reverse many facts which might give us interesting facts from every match they play. Laliga is no longer so boring because there is Girona which will make the competition at the top of the standings even more interesting.

In my opinion, their defense line must be able to improve to be even stronger in the upcoming matches because one of the big setbacks for the team was when their defense line was bad. Maybe for Michel he knows what is best for his team so he needs a few changes to his defense to help them stay on track to win in match.

...

Girona's performance this season is very good, but I don't think they will win the title. Girona is a team that has yet to prove anything in terms of experience, but so far they are on the right track. Real Madrid is a much better team than Girona and that also makes me believe Girona is by no means safe at the top of the table.

Their win over Barcelona earned Girona high praise, but there would be no surprise if they failed to maintain their form. We'll see what happens in La Liga, but Girona can't be counted on to lead the standings for long.

yesterday I thought Barcelona would be able to stop Girona's progress from continuing to be at the top of the La Liga standings, but in fact they had difficulty facing Girona at Girona's home ground, this time the pressure for Xavi is very big. Barcelona's next opponent is Valencia, while Girona will face Alaves, there is a big possibility that Girona will win that match, Girona really has the upper hand.

[Leviathan.007]

The good news for Real Madrid is about their player Aurélien Tchouaméni and his situation.
Aurélien Tchouaméni was injured during this season and he couldn't play for Real Madrid after the El Classico game they had and according to some news he couldn't play for his team until February but he recently posted about his current situation on social media and he is going to be ready sooner than the expected time.

Barcelona's next opponent is Valencia, while Girona will face Alaves, there is a big possibility that Girona will win that match, Girona really has the upper hand.

Barcelona lost their last two match, Even in today match Barcelona lost to a team that is not too strong in the Champions league. Barcelona bad streak must be immediately overcome by Xavi in ​​Laliga because their ranking will be increasingly threatened if they cannot return to their winning ways. Now, speaking of Girona, Of course no one thought they could beat Barcelona with a big score because barcelona is a big team in La Liga with many good quality player such as Lewandowksi and Gundogan. What happened to barcelona this season was none other than the decline in performance of their player such as Lewandowksi and De Jong, Which could also be caused by the storm of injuries that befell their players this season.

Barcelona is currently ranked 4th and the team below them is Bilbao, which is performing increasingly well for break into the top 4 ranking. So, if Barcelona fails in the match against Valencia, They will automatically be even more stressed and the situation can change quite quickly due to criticism from fans for them. I think defending the title this season will be more difficult for Barcelona if you look at their performance so far.

Aurélien Tchouaméni was injured during this season and he couldn't play for Real Madrid after the El Classico game they had and according to some news he couldn't play for his team until February but he recently posted about his current situation on social media and he is going to be ready sooner than the expected time.

Glad to see him back again. Even though missing him would not be a serious problem as there are so many great midfielders who can play better than him but i do appreciate how he was totally dedicating his life to play as a real madrid player despite the difficult situation to compete with some top midfielders in real madrid. Tchouameni will be back again but i think that ancellotti may still prefer to use the current midfielders like modric or kroos. It seems like that he was not getting serious injury. This is a good news for ancellotti and all of players.

So, I think Girona mustn't feel so worried about their defense line. They are conceded many goals because they are playing quite offensive. Well, I think Girona must finish in the top 3 if they can maintain their good performance.

At the moment Girona are the most prolific club with 38 goals in La Liga over 16 games but their defense isn't great either although it's not bad in my opinion.
There are still some situations that they need to improve on especially the alignment of their defensive midfielders and defenders but it's something that can be improved. At the moment it looks like Girona's scheme has caught up with some of the other big clubs because they realize scoring goals in a game is important so in the few games they have played their focus has continued to be on the hunt for goals which in turn can be a reversal of their defense which is still a bit fragile but I think it's still a very good strategy that Girona are implementing at the moment.

They also showed us in the Barcelona match that they are very effective when they play offensively, but they also know how to play against a strong opponent. They made great use of their quick attacks against Barcelona and scored 4 goals. This team is well prepared for the counter attack. Girona may make a big surprise in Europe this year.

[Josefjix]

The good news for Real Madrid is about their player Aurélien Tchouaméni and his situation.
Aurélien Tchouaméni was injured during this season and he couldn't play for Real Madrid after the El Classico game they had and according to some news he couldn't play for his team until February but he recently posted about his current situation on social media and he is going to be ready sooner than the expected time.

Currently, there's no player confident enough to meet Pedri and talk to him regarding the present instance of the club and the scenario of Barcelona in matches. Every club have their key players, and these players are responsible for the shutting down of the club due to the affairs of the club. Its good news and development to prepare an elite club who will patiently play Real Madrid. Aurélien Tchouaméni will be back in less than no time for Real Madrid and that sends the good news ot Los Blancos and Santiago Bernabéu atmosphere.

Girona is a middle class team, last season they finished 10th in La Liga. Even in the last 3 seasons, Girona has never finished higher than 10th. this season, this team has suddenly become one of the tough competitors in the 16 matches presented by the competition in La Liga. if I had to compare, the same as Lens in the 2022-23 season. why, because they don't have a tight schedule like other teams, especially the top teams in this competition.

and IMO, one of the things that makes Girona able to be consistent as I said. Plus, Girona has players who are in their best form. that's why, so far Gorina has been able to be consistent. So far, I can't be sure whether they will be able to remain consistent. especially after the second half of the season, because the competition will get tougher and more fierce. What is certain is that finishing in the top four until the end of this season is something extraordinary for them.

To win the League title, I don't think it's time yet because Madrid or Barcelona and even Atletico Madrid won't let Girona go smoothly. However, the fact is that Girona is currently still at the top of the standings. But what is certain is that Madrid, the team with the fewest points difference from Girona, will reclaim the top of the standings. well, let's just wait and watch each match.

Girona's performance this season is very good, but I don't think they will win the title. Girona is a team that has yet to prove anything in terms of experience, but so far they are on the right track. Real Madrid is a much better team than Girona and that also makes me believe Girona is by no means safe at the top of the table.

Their win over Barcelona earned Girona high praise, but there would be no surprise if they failed to maintain their form. We'll see what happens in La Liga, but Girona can't be counted on to lead the standings for long.

I think Girona has enough strength and experience to compete with Real Madrid. I think the way they played in the Barcelona match was enough to prove this to us. Although Real Madrid is still the strongest candidate for the championship, Girona seems to be one of the teams that will challenge them the most this year.

[Strongkored]

Two matches in Week 17 that are very likely to be very balanced because the teams have almost the same strengths are:
Athletic Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad vs Betis.
Athletic has not lost in the last five matches because they were able to get 11 points while Atletico experienced two defeats. Even though Athletic as the home team has odds as the favorite team, it is not that different from its opponent and the statistics of their meetings can be said to be quite balanced with both teams beating each other with not so many goals are scored, my prediction is that it will probably end in a draw, while the Sociedad vs Betis match will be easier to predict because the home team has odds as the favorite team which are quite convincing but Betis who managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw will still have the opportunity to take points in the away match from the even just one moreover, Betis has not lost in the last five matches, but unfortunately it has been dominated by draws.

[fuguebtc]

If those who follow club football games are asked about their favorite club, then most of the fans will probably answer that their favorite club is either Barcelona or Real Madrid. If Barcelona and Real Madrid have so many fans, if Girona wins the La Liga title, the fans will probably not be too disappointed because they are used to winning trophies. La Liga will look more interesting and competitive when a new team wins the La Liga title. Apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atlético Madrid, we never thought that any other team would ever win the La Liga title, but this season we may be looking at it. Girona are going according to plan from the start and they will have to go according to plan until the end. Ultimately, if things go according to plan, they could win the La Liga title this season.

That is the reason why there is a whole "smaller teams wins once" type of culture, and not even that happens all that much, Valencia in 2003-2004 is the last winner outside of top three, that should tell you how rare it is for anyone else to win. I am not saying Girona will not win, but even if they do, we all know it will be just one year for them. Same with Premier league, there are some good teams, stuff like Leicester city rarely happens and when it does, we see how it ended up for them in the end.

We need to realize that Girona has just one year that they can win, either they win it this season if they are lucky or if not then they are not going to be good at all and they will never have this chance again in the future.

This is where I fully disagree because Girona is structured differently than, for instance, Leicester City when they won the Premier League. Girona is built from the ground up with a successful future in mind. Does anyone here think that a miracle is happening in Girona?

The brother and advisor of Pep Guardiola owns the Girona Football Group and this group in turn owns 44.3% of Girona. This means the City Football Group and the Girona Football Group own almost 90% of the club. Now does anyone understand what is going on there?

I will make a bold prediction: the chance that Pep Guardiola will sign a contract with in the future with Girona is higher than zero! This club has a serious plan and what could be more profitable than establishing a football club in the top of La Liga that belongs to the Guardiola family?

Just because something has a chance of happening, does not mean it is going to happen. Just because there is a chance for Pep to sign a contract with Girona, and just because it is higher than zero, does not mean that he is actually going to do it. It again comes to the same thing like, just because it is possible doesn't mean it is probable.  And at the same time, just because Girona is performing well so far in this season, does not mean that they are actually going to do it consistently, especially throughout the whole season. Let alone in the next season.

If those who follow club football games are asked about their favorite club, then most of the fans will probably answer that their favorite club is either Barcelona or Real Madrid. If Barcelona and Real Madrid have so many fans, if Girona wins the La Liga title, the fans will probably not be too disappointed because they are used to winning trophies.

Girona are going according to plan from the start and they will have to go according to plan until the end. Ultimately, if things go according to plan, they could win the La Liga title this season.

We see that Girona this season is quite fantastic and even if at the end of the season they manage to win the La Liga title then no one will be surprised by this because they deserve it, the quality of Girona's team is quite good and they just need to maintain their consistency.
Barcelona this season is quite bad, many problems have befallen this team so that up to now Barcelona's performance has been very inconsistent, the defeat against Girona last weekend was quite a big blow for Xavi's team and is inversely proportional to what Girona feels because this victory could be a strength internal within the team that grows for the good of the team in the future.

The inconsistency of La Liga's top teams this season can be put to good use by Girona so that they can top the La Liga standings so far.

Considering the performance, Girona can expect this season's La Liga title. We really didn't expect Girona to perform so well this season at the start of the season. Every season ends with the hype of Real Madrid or Barcelona and every season starts with the prospect of Real Madrid and Barcelona and Girona start the new season fresh in that place. Out of 16 matches they have lost just one match and drawn one match and the remaining 13 matches they have earned full points, this statistic shows how much they are favorites to win the La Liga title this season.
As you said, it wouldn't be a surprise if Girona were La Liga champions this season, it wouldn't really be a surprise because they are favorites to win the La Liga title this season and they deserve it.

yesterday I thought Barcelona would be able to stop Girona's progress from continuing to be at the top of the La Liga standings, but in fact they had difficulty facing Girona at Girona's home ground, this time the pressure for Xavi is very big. Barcelona's next opponent is Valencia, while Girona will face Alaves, there is a big possibility that Girona will win that match, Girona really has the upper hand.

Barcelona lost their last two match, Even in today match Barcelona lost to a team that is not too strong in the Champions league. Barcelona bad streak must be immediately overcome by Xavi in ​​Laliga because their ranking will be increasingly threatened if they cannot return to their winning ways.

Barcelona is currently ranked 4th and the team below them is Bilbao, which is performing increasingly well for break into the top 4 ranking. So, if Barcelona fails in the match against Valencia, They will automatically be even more stressed and the situation can change quite quickly due to criticism from fans for them. I think defending the title this season will be more difficult for Barcelona if you look at their performance so far.

Losing in the Champions League doesn't really mean anything for Barcelona because this club has secured their position to qualify for the round of 16. And in fact Barcelona came out as group winners in first place, followed by Porto who have the same points as Barcelona on goal difference.
However losing to Girona is something that cannot be accepted, especially for Barcelona fans, especially since the match took place at home, of course it was disappointing for the supporters who watched the match, even though I hoped that after beating Atletico Madrid, Barcelona could beat Girona, but instead Barcelona had to suffer defeat with a landslide score from Girona.

If you look at the statistical data, Barcelona should be able to beat Velencia because this club is not very strong, especially as Velencia is not in good condition lately and has experienced 3 defeats from the last 5 matches. I think Barcelona can take advantage of opportunities when Velencia's condition is not good and I am sure Barcelona is capable achieved victory in this match.

[Sebas.tian]

Those matches will going to be a tough match, because Athletic Bilbao will like to use all their strength to continue maintaining the winning habits to increase their points and Atletico Madrid is another team that has defeated many strong teams in this season to reduced their points which they will definitely introduce such strategies to battle with Athletic Bilbao. Athletic Bilbao will be my favorite team in this match because they have potential squads that can make the match easy for them to win, and to prove to people that they are stronger than Atletico Madrid in this season. Sociedad will definitely use home advantage to play this match to fight for draw 0-0, because Betis is a strong team that has potential goalkeeper and defenders and it will be difficult for sociedad to escape from this match than to use their strategies to achieve victory from sociedad at the end of the match.

In the next match, Girona will play against Alaves, and I think Girona should be able to win and get the full 3 points. Hopefully they don't waste the opportunity to always add more points. Meanwhile in the future. Both Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will have a divided focus, especially as their competition in the last 16 of the Champions League will certainly put greater pressure on them. So, this is Girona's opportunity to continue to stay in first place by consistently winning every match.

I always want to relate them with how Leicester City did and won the Premier League years back. The was also not participating in any of the European Competitions and they gave all of them energies towards winning the Premier League tittle. This is something Girona is doing well, they're so consistent and you can't underestimate them. They may not be at the top forever but I would love that and I want someone else entirely to win the trophy.

Against Alaves during the weekend would be a straight win. Have you checked how they've played against La Liga side's below the position Ten? If you know, you'll see this game as easy. Girona should come out victorious episode of this game. I'm sure the games left in this 2023 are games they can definitely win.

[bering]

IMO I think at the moment Girona are not really looking to focus on becoming champions because in this case apart from the season which is still long considering we are still in the middle of the season, their burden is now heavy with performance so rather than being bothered by thinking about the championship it would be better for them to continue to think about how their performance remains consistent.
At the moment Girona are still very good in terms of performance but indeed this is not a guarantee that they will continue like this so they must continue to try to make their performance stable so that their condition is maintained because with that their chances of competing in a decent position or even a title competition are always there.

It's impossible if Girona doesn't want to be champion because currently they are in first place and won't let Barcelona or Real Madrid or any other team pass their position, if Girona doesn't want to be champion this season then their game should not be as good as you can see until they reach first place from the top of the standings and having a high point value is the result of the team's hard work and they should be proud of becoming first champions in La Liga this season.

Girona last season can able to finish at 10th place and their manager Michel has successfully to save this team to avoiding relegation zone and you might be surprised about their target before this season starting because the management only targetting Girona to avoiding relegation zone and it never crossed their minds before that they could put on such an impressive performance this time because with their current squad Girona was realized it's hard to compete against big teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona or even Atletico Madrid for the top 3

But everything is just like dream comes true for them because until week 16 Girona can able to lead Laliga league standings and although Girona can able to occupy first place but their manager never thinking he would make this team to being an Laliga champion and what they want to do now is to performing well for each matches and Alaves indeed will be their upcoming opponent this weekend
