La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[BITCOIN4X]

I would have given Girona the credit for beating Barcelona in the UEFA champions league, but seeing what happened to Barcelona in the UEFA champions league last night I think the problem is more of with Barcelona than is Girona super good.
Don't get me wrong Girona is an amazing team and they have a very effective strategy but Barcelona right now are playing like lost sheep's and they need to find their form before it's too late.

Girona are not playing in the Champions League, maybe next year if they can maintain their form. Barcelona lost to Girona because they failed to take advantage of many opportunities, while Girona won the match because they were able to defend better and take advantage of their opportunities. Moreover, Barcelona does not have a goalkeeper of the same quality as Stegen, so their defense and chances of conceding are much higher.

Barcelona is also not finished and Girona is not sure that they will be able to occupy the top position until the end of the season. The competition is better if no one team dominates, but you will not fail even if you have many achievements in the previous season. This is the case with Xavi, but I think he has his own wisdom in managing the team and his will.

Girona are not playing in the Champions League, maybe next year if they can maintain their form. Barcelona lost to Girona because they failed to take advantage of many opportunities, while Girona won the match because they were able to defend better and take advantage of their opportunities.

Yes, as long as Girona is able to maintain its performance and is always optimal in all opportunities, then Girona has a big chance to enter the UCL zone. Even though they may have succeeded in taking over Girona's position at number one, at least Girona can still be in the top 4m. Meanwhile, currently Girona's performance is still very consistent. So they still dominate first standing in La Liga. Where this is quite surprising.

Don't get me wrong Girona is an amazing team and they have a very effective strategy but Barcelona right now are playing like lost sheep's and they need to find their form before it's too late.

Its clearly stated out that Barcelona are not in form this season, leading them to concede goals from elite and mediocre clubs, and this is hugh slap on the faces of Barcelona board and supporters. Xavi Hernandez will not take any opponents he faced next for granted, he's ready to put up his best performance and keen on winning significant points and matches this season. Girona topping, this is their moment and Theresa nothing to ruined it for them, they are weigh better than Barcelona this season, watching their performance in matches, it's incredible defeating Barcelona to reclaimed the first position on the table.

So they still dominate first standing in La Liga. Where this is quite surprising.

I think Girona has a big chance to finish this season in UCL zone. They already showed us that they could maintain their good performance against strong team like Barcelona. So far, they only got 1 defeat, against Real Madrid. This means that Girona can beat all teams in La Liga, except Real Madrid. If they don't lose focus or experience severe injuries, no doubt Girona will stay in the top 4 or top 3 of La Liga. During this first half of the season, they play consistently until now. Lets' see how they can play in the second half of the season.

[Asiska02]

Six points between the league leaders and Barcelona, Atletico Madrid included. One point between Girona and Real Madrid. Infact the league is still open for all four of them. It's just that having Girona at the top of the league has been a shocker to most footbal fans for they never expected such happening. A low life in La Liga, taking the lead and I'm not gon be perplexed when I see them at the top until the first half of the season comes to an end. The league being boring and interesting is all part of the journey.

All this for Girona’s sake, they definitely deserved all the good praise they are receiving now. Girona have shown confidence in their self and it has given them an edge over other big teams in the La Liga that don’t expect much from them. I am not going to say that they are not worthy contenders of the La Liga title but they need to take things more serious if they will get the opportunity to do so. This won’t be the first time that underperforming or undervalued teams will come from no where and win the title, it happened to Leicester in the premier league, so it can still happen in this league too.

Real Madrid despite the absence of these players we think are undropabble have done excellently great. Carlo Ancellotti has managed the boys to victories. They will need all the best when they begin the second half of the season. Vinicius Junior would be back next year as said by Carlo Ancellotti. They'll need him back better as they'll be ready for the round of sixteen games.

By missing out on that many points, it will be difficult for Barcelona to catch up and take first place. Even though they still have plenty of time to gain a few more points, Barcelona's performance is no longer like last season, so currently there is no clear certainty regarding Barcelona. Girona will show that they are capable of fighting teams that often win world championships, and it will be Girona's turn to win this season.

[Velvet78]

Atletico Madrid are technically doing a little better than Barcelona in the league now. Despite having a missing game to play they have the same points with Barcelona now and they are ahead in the standings as well. That loss against Girona by Barcelona was telling us a lot of things. Barcelona are still inadequate in some ways to maintain their title competition comfortably.

In a couple of weeks Atletico Madrid are also going to face Girona so I'm curious about what will happen in that game as well. I don't feel like Atletico Madrid defense would be as weak as Barcelona's then. But first Simeone needs to deal with Athletic Bilbao away. It will be quite a difficult game for them.

[iBaba]

The Spanish league seems like the teams who start well remain harder to beat as the season progresses and they could maintain dominance for a long period. .
Am happy for the struggle of Girona so far this season and the fact of a champions league spot should they maintain this impressive winning display is what makes them play as hard if not harder than Napoli during last seasons campaign.

I am more happy about Girona now than any other club in the league because of their amazing work over this season. I love their strong performance and reliability can not be over emphasized.

Artem Dovbyk only joined the team in August of this year and he is already the star striker leading at the front line with his great job ever since. Before Artem joined Girona, he had netted over 50 goals from 80 appearances in the last club. And now he's here again performing more magic, with a good, supportive and encouraging club like Girona.

After 72nd minute of substituting Artem Dovbyk in the last match, Christain Stuani scored the 4th goal in the last minutes of the match to show the prowess of his capacity as a forward for the team too. Others are Savio and the good manager doing the wonderful stunts for the team, Michel. These are the guys amongst other team members who are doing extremely well in the league.

Even though they still have plenty of time to gain a few more points, Barcelona's performance is no longer like last season, so currently there is no clear certainty regarding Barcelona. Girona will show that they are capable of fighting teams that often win world championships, and it will be Girona's turn to win this season.

Indeed, Barcelona is 7 points behind and I think that's quite a distance for them considering that Girona has been so consistent this season. If Girona can maintain their winning trend in the upcoming matches, of course it will be difficult for Barcelona to reduce the points behind Girona. This season, Girona can become champions if they succeed in winning every match because to overthrow Barcelona and Real Madrid, of course Girona cannot lose points in every match. It's a tough task for them if they want to become champions and I think they will find it difficult to do it.

In the January transfer market, big teams will definitely bring in new players to their teams so that their strength will be stronger in the second half of the season. Even for Real Madrid, they are still a strong candidate to win the title this season and I think Ancelotti will be able to bring Real Madrid back to leading the standings in the upcoming match.

This is just the start. The gap will be bigger and barcelona will be playing so poorly in the upcoming games. The bad result against girona may be making snowball impact for barcelona soon. The club needs to try so hard in keeping up its gap toward real madrid. Madrid is very consistent compared to the last season. Barcelona is starting to play so badly this season. I have no doubt that if barcelona will not be winning the competition as the winner. Real madrid is likely winning the competition soon. I hope that if barcelona will not be winning the trophy this season.
Let girona to take it will be a very good thing as it was giving us a new nuance to see unfamiliar club to win the trophy this season. Girona looks like a very strong club right now.

[rahmad2nd]

Girona deserves praise even though it is not certain that they will win the trophy at the end of the season. His consistency for 16 weeks and currently leading the standings with 41 points, at first glance reminds us all of the Leicester City club in the English Premier League. Girona improved performance has become a new attraction in the trophy hunt, especially after they managed to beat defending champions Barcelona recently. Everyone was shocked, and tried to accept the fact that Michel squad was a real threat.

Madrid, Barcelona and ATM still won't let Girona lead the standings continuously, and neither will the other clubs. The challenges increase as the season progresses, and if Girona dreams of becoming champions then they must remain stable until the end of the season. Apart from that, Girona is a team that can be used as a reference by other mediocre clubs, that leading the standings does not require having star studded players.

As I said, the only thing that makes Girona able to remain consistent is because they don't have matches in various competitions. they only take part in two competitions, namely La Lia and Copa del Rey. and maybe that is one of the reasons Girona is still able to play their matches well. plus, the players are in their best performance. apart from that, Michel knows very well how to keep his squad on the right track. The only defeat they suffered was in the home match against Madrid, the remaining two were draws and 13 wins. In fact, Girona is more consistent than the teams below them, including Real Madrid. and Barcelona's defeat, became a trigger for Gorina to perform even better. of course we appreciate this team, despite the fact that they are not filled with star players. apart from that, Girona also scored more goals than other teams, even though they only had a difference of a few goals. at least the team that finished in 10th place last season is now at the top of the standings, 2 points ahead of Real Madrid. So far, no one thinks Girona will be able to maintain its consistency. in fact, I clearly doubt they will be able to survive long after falling to Real Madrid. In fact, Michael was able to bring the consistency of his team's squad back to the right track. however, what they have done so far does not guarantee anything even though they have worked hard. in fact, Real Madrid is ready to unseat them. Moreover, Girona will be tested again when they host Atletico Madrid in the next few weeks. It could be that Girona will experience defeat for the second time and experience a decline after that. specifically, after the season's first half ended. and the second half begins, the competition will be even tighter. as I said before, Madrid will not let Girona continue to be at the top of the standings. Likewise with Barcelona, ​​even though they are 7 points behind, they will not be discouraged from continuing to fight and provide tough competition. Likewise with ATM, they have 1 postponed match which might be useful for adding to their points collection later. To be sure, this season is a little different. at least it is more competitive even though La Liga has only presented 16 matches. yeah, there are no other words other than we enjoy it as football fans.

Due to the water crisis, Barcelona players are prohibited from bathing throughout the Club Facilities.
It became trending news and looked quite serious. experienced a prolonged drought that began last year. Reporting from the Reuters page, rainfall in Spain since September 2022 is around 17 percent below the 30-year average. This led the Catalan government to take a number of drastic measures to address the situation, including for a 'pre-emergency phase'. All this equipment consumes a lot of water and has the obligation to reduce it to compensate. If Barca want to keep watering the pitch, they will have to compensate even more for what they consume. And as much as possible they also have to save water usage.

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.

This is surely good news. Real Madrid needs more player available for harder matches in UCL and La Liga. They will have tougher matches in the UCL because they are already in knock-out phase. Fortunately, Real Madrid has no big matches in La Liga in the next few matches. So, Aurélien Tchouaméni can begin playing in easy matches in La Liga after he recovers from the injury. I'm sure it won't be easy to return to his best form after he spent a long time for taking a rest. Well, hope that Tchouaméni will recover very soon, so he can directly help Real Madrid to maintain good performances.

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.

Everyone must be surprised about the performance of Girona. It is because Girona isn't an elite (top) team in La Liga. Many of their players are not popular players, the popular players are mostly old players. So, no one expects Girona to perform very well with their current squad. However, the coach of Girona, really succeed to optimize the ability of the players. In the midfield line and attacking line, there are many young players, it makes them to play offensively. Meanwhile in the defense line, most of the players are old/experienced players. The combination of this players, make Girona stronger this season. And the tactic and mentality of Girona players are also incredible, they showed us that they are not mediocre team anymore.

Well, I think it is still too early to talk about winning the La Liga title. But if Girona can always play consistently with their best form, it is surely not impossible to win it. However, if we consider the squad depth, I think Real Madrid is still the favorite to win the La Liga title.

I haven't actually paid attention to this water crisis in Spain, but when I read this headline I thought I should have a closer look at what is going on there. This is crazy and I think when a football club is forbidding its players to take showers within their facilities, things have already gone out of control. But it is a good measure showing the people that there is no privilege for the rich and sports professionals. However, if I understand the article correctly, the prices will go up but there is also a limit of 210 litres a day per resident. I wonder how that applies to sports facilities like the Barcelona stadium and how far could this crisis go? I see that there are jokes being made about potential hygiene effects for away teams when they play in the Barcelona stadium, but I guess this isn't really a good time for jokes.

[Razmirraz]

In the January transfer market, big teams will definitely bring in new players to their teams so that their strength will be stronger in the second half of the season. Even for Real Madrid, they are still a strong candidate to win the title this season and I think Ancelotti will be able to bring Real Madrid back to leading the standings in the upcoming match.

It has become a habit for big and small clubs to take advantage of the transfer market to increase the strength of their squad. The Real Madrid squad as a whole is very good and Ancelotti's current line-up is also very complete. The shortage of main strikers began to be overcome by placing a shadow striker. Ancelotti managed to take advantage of Bellingham's advantages to cover the holes in the striker area.

Regarding who is the strongest candidate in the hunt for trophies this season, of course Real Madrid is in the front position. Even though they are currently two points behind Girona, it is not a big problem for Real Madrid. In the next few matches they will return to the top position and dominate the standings for a long time.

It seems like rain has started to occur everywhere so this problem will at least be resolved temporarily but will reappear every time the dry season enters, especially if it lasts for a long time like this year.
Climate change also affects the sports sector and many parties have to make changes because if it continues to get worse, bad things will also be experienced by athletes, during the day there are no more matches because the weather is very hot and at night players will struggle for air which is very humid, and it's also cold, and a field that isn't watered properly will make the grass dry out.
However, is it possible that this condition affected their performance because several times they did not perform well and losing to Girona was the most surprising thing.

Even though they still have plenty of time to gain a few more points, Barcelona's performance is no longer like last season, so currently there is no clear certainty regarding Barcelona. Girona will show that they are capable of fighting teams that often win world championships, and it will be Girona's turn to win this season.

If Barcelona can rediscover themselves and get their form back, they will be able to catch up and be in 1st place. Barcelona has two major problems. One is, scoring goals and the other is conceding goals. If they can deal with these issues then they'll be back. The first half of the season is almost over and in January they'll get a new striker in Roque. Hopefully, he'll be able to score the chances they create for him.
Also, Barcelona needs a natural DM. They need a player that can control their midfield like Busquets did. If they can fix these two problems then they'll be able to get back to form.

Also, a luxury signing can be a winger. Be it a left or right winger. They need a natural winger that can force the attack and pressure the opposing defenders. A fast winger, can dribble, create chances, and score goals.

This season is still very long and anything is still possible for Barcelona.
Currently, the Barcelona team's performance is quite poor and the problems they are experiencing are in many sectors, including the number of injured players, so this team does not have enough quality players to maintain team stability when player rotation occurs.

If he wants to bounce back, in the January transfer market, Xavi must be smart in spending on players and make this team improve like last season at least.

Let girona to take it will be a very good thing as it was giving us a new nuance to see unfamiliar club to win the trophy this season. Girona looks like a very strong club right now.

In this season, we have some trouble for the Barcelona even their start was perfect, but suddenly they are having problems and now slipping which is surely problem for the fans and management as well in last two games they already concede 7 goals and score only 4 which is surely not acceptable for them as well with Atlético Madrid is surely on better side and having improved performance and good results which are giving them third spot but now in round 17 we are having few big games which can create changes in league table and this also can create difference from top four to other clubs as well.

Real Madrid is surely having good time as they are at their best and currently having just two points difference from Girona which is current leader of the La Liga league table with 41 points and this is surely surprising for the all soccer fans around the world with no one was expecting in presence of teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid they can jump at this spot.

The league being boring and interesting is all part of the journey.

Real Madrid despite the absence of these players we think are undropabble have done excellently great. Carlo Ancellotti has managed the boys to victories. They will need all the best when they begin the second half of the season. Vinicius Junior would be back next year as said by Carlo Ancellotti. They'll need him back better as they'll be ready for the round of sixteen games.

By missing out on that many points, it will be difficult for Barcelona to catch up and take first place.

Girona will show that they are capable of fighting teams that often win world championships, and it will be Girona's turn to win this season.

A heavy consequence  that Barcelona has to accept this season is that they are struggling to get back on their feet. But seeing how  Barcelona has declined it is clear that it will be difficult. The defeat to Girona was an ongoing disaster. On the other hand Madrid also shouldn't think  that the La Liga competition is easy especially since Girona is currently the dominant team in every way.  The upcoming transfer market in January is certainly a big opportunity  for Madrid to increase its breakthrough power because this is also to fully support the Champions League  competition in the last 16. The next  competitor Atletico Madrid will make a difference to make it more difficult for Barcelona to maximize points. Well you could say that Atletico Madrid is quite at an advantage because they still have 1 match against Bilbao. Or conversely Atletico Bilbao also wants to try  to shift Barcelona from 4th position in the standings. So being squeezed  by 2 clubs who both want to  get rid of Barcelona  will make Xavi  a little frustrated.
