La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[slapper]

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.

The Atletico Madrid vs Girona match in Januarwy 2024 will indeed be very interesting to watch. And after Girona managed to beat Barcelona, ​​of course now everyone is wondering whether Girona will also be able to beat Atletico Madrid. But before we get to that match, of course Atletico still has several matches at the end of the first half of this season. Like today Atletico Madrid will face Athletic Bilbao. Last season Bilbao could be said to have had a slightly bad season. Even Bilbao was only able to finish in 8th place at the end of last season. And last season, Bilbao suffered two consecutive defeats in Laliga by Atletico Madrid. Whether in home or away matches, it turns out that Bilbao was always beaten by Atletico Madrid last season. But this season I think Bilbao is a little different. Bilbao looks better than last season. Bilbao have only suffered 3 defeats this season. Just like Atletico Madrid who have also experienced 3 defeats this season. So the Atletico Madrid vs Bilbao match this time will definitely be more difficult for us to predict the outcome. But Bilbao is the host of today's match. So Bilbao could win this match. Or maybe you can get a draw. But I would probably prefer a draw. Because beating Atletico Madrid feels like it will be very difficult to do.

Your guess is correct; Atletico has a good record against Bilbao. It seems like Bilbao has a new vibe this season, though. We've only lost three times so far, which is pretty close. With Atletico also having lost three times, it will be hard to call the head-to-head. It's been on my mind how Atletico played, especially since Girona beat Barcelona. I mean, it's like a wake-up call. Atletico must be very alert. Since Girona has been doing so well both at home and away, they are no longer the surprise. They are very tough, which is pretty amazing

Going back to Bilbao now. The fact that they are hosting gives them an edge. It might change the game. I also think it will be a draw, but who knows? The great thing about football is that it's always unexpected. Even though Atletico is tough, Bilbao has a new spark. The game is open to everyone

Next week Girona will only face Alaves, which in fact is a club that can still be defeated easily by Giroba at this time, which is certain that Girona is the favorite but on the other hande even though their performance is different, the strength of the Alaves players is not much different from Girona so Girona does not consider this match easy just because of the positive streak they get.  

I'm very certain Girona is going to win the match against Deportivo Alaves because with the current position of Girona on the La Liga table they will never jock with any match because any opportunity they miss will automatically become an advantage for Real Madrid because there points difference is not much so the only way for Girona to continue leading on the table is to always maintain there constant wining.

And also there prayer should be that Real Madrid should lose or draw there match so that if they eventually wins Deportivo Alaves they will stand on upper edge against Real Madrid and before Real Madrid could meet them again they might have gone far so perhaps with that Girona is sure of first or second position at the end of the league.

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 4.90

Girona 5.88

Atlético Madrid 9.80

Well I don't know why there is a big gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona but also Girona. I can understand that Girona is a new club among the classic top teams so there is doubts about their consistency the whole season and I assume people are assuming they will drop at any point even though they were able to defeat Barcelona.
For Atletico Madrid, okay they are winning and sometimes missing, they will be among top 4 most likely but not the first thing season in my opinion.
For Barcelona, they are having bad moments but they should return winning again and fight for the first spot along with Real Madrid and Girona. 5 points gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona are nothing with 22 games left to play.
I will go for Real Madrid 2.5, Barcelona 3, Girona 3.5 and Atletico Madrid 4.5. I just put Girona as third choice but I would like to see them winning La Liga title this season!

Have you forgotten the result of the head-to-head meeting between Girona and Real Madrid? 3-0 in favor of Real Madrid. And this was an away game for Real, which means Girona will still have to somehow try to cope with the game at the Santiago Bernabeu if it wants to claim something. These odds reflect how likely this is 
And let’s not forget that Real Madrid have been playing almost the entire season with a suboptimal lineup - all the time some of the top players are injured. This means that Real Madrid have great potential to dramatically improve their game when they return to action. Does Girona, which is supposedly playing at its best, have such potential? Unlikely. Therefore, you are wrong to think that the coefficient for Real should be 2.5, in fact, 1.5 is even generous, they are the clear favorites.

The news says that Barcelona management is negotiating with Girona head coach Michel. If they are successful, he will lead Barcelona in the summer, and if Xavi is fired earlier (which is quite likely given the weak results), then Rafael Marquez will be the interim coach (until the summer). On the one hand, I think Xavi is a weak coach and this is a smart decision - in the end he had time to prove himself, but overall he failed. On the other hand, will any other coach be able to correct Barcelona's situation, given that its problems lie not only in the game? In any case, the restructuring in Barcelona continues and there is no end in sight.

[rendravolt]

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it. However, I still have faith in them. Barcelona will likely turn things around in their upcoming La Liga away games, starting with Valencia. After a series of defeats, Barcelona is showing impatience and losing confidence. The upcoming match against Valencia on Saturday is crucial for them to secure full points and stay competitive. It won't be easy, and Valencia could give them a tough challenge.

So far, there are no prerequisites for Barcelona to make a comeback. I would say that on the contrary they are lucky that Real Madrid have such extensive problems with players leaving due to injury and they are still not that far away from it. I understand that bookmakers are not the ultimate truth and they often make mistakes (in separate assessments), but they answer for their opinion with money and look what they think:

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 4.90

Girona 5.88

Atlético Madrid 9.80

~snip~

I just found out about the odds for winning La Liga this season and placing Real Madrid at the top seems quite reasonable. This happened because of their consistency so far and compared to Barcelona, now Los Blancos have far surpassed them. Real Madrid does not benefit from the large number of players who are still injured, but they can still appear competitive against their opponents.

Girona, surprisingly this season, has not escaped the eyes of bookies and the odds are almost the same as Barcelona, who are the defending champions of La Liga. I'm quite curious about how this will end and although there is a little doubt that Real Madrid will lose control, what is clear is that Real Madrid will win La Liga this season and throw Girona and Barcelona off the list.

[bbigtart]

This is becoming more and more interesting and the competition is even more exciting to participate in because the competition is fierce, previously we only saw competition between Real Madrid, Barcelona and also Atletico Madrid, but this season Girona emerged as a surprise, making the La Liga competition even more interesting.

This week Girona will face Alaves, of course this match will be won by Girona because their spirits are high after beating Barcelona last week, especially since the match against Alaves will be played at home, of course this is Girona's opportunity to stay in first place in Laliga. . Yes, Girona's presence in the race for the La Liga trophy has changed the map of La Liga and of course La Liga will become more competitive.

However, to what extent Girona can maintain something like this is still a question mark because it is very difficult for a team to maintain its consistency, especially the Girona team which does not have supporting players who are comparable to its main players.

Maybe this is Girona's weakness this season, they don't have reserve players who are commensurate with the main players and this is very risky if their players get injured, especially since the league season is still very long. Therefore, in the January transfer market they had to buy several players to cover this shortfall.

[tusandii]

When it comes to the Girona - Atletico Madrid game it is surely going to be an interesting one. Before anything else I must admit that it doesn't matter for Girona to play away or home so far. Because they have been very successful in both situations.    But it does matter for Atletico Madrid as they are much more problematic in away games.

This is why I'm not thinking of betting on Atletico Madrid to win this game. Girona are already a dangerous team and I have no doubt they will do their best in this game as well. Simeone will try to hunt them down by his special strategies and will try to keep Girona in a low scoring game. But Girona still have a capacity to get even three points just as they did to Barcelona.

Away or home matches are not a big problem for Girona after successfully maintaining consistency with only 1 defeat. Girona players believe they will be able to maintain their position and will even finish off the popular clubs in LaLiga. Even though Girona was able to beat Barcelona, in fact they couldn't beat Real Madrid and I think Atletico Madrid who will avenge Barcelona defeat at that time and I remember that if no one is able to beat a small club that is flying high there will also be a small club that will break its wings to continue to lower its self-confidence and then lose its performance and this time Atletico Madrid is the next popular club who will try to break Girona temporary dominance.
This match will indeed be a very interesting match but doubts arise after seeing past matches which have ended in draws even though Atletico Madrid away match has beaten Girona but still you have to be wary of a surprising attack from Girona.
But for me this will not cause problems for Atletico Madrid because the group stage matches have finished and they can focus on LaLiga before starting the round of 16 Atletico Madrid still has the opportunity to find the right strategy to beat Girona.

[Solokan]

Atletico Madrid definitely wants to continue to gain points and of course wants to shift Madrid's position which is currently in 2nd place in the standings, and in my opinion tomorrow is a match between the strong team Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, I think this will be an exciting match, but I think Bilbao will have a little difficulty when facing Atletico Madrid because Atletico Madrid is a strong team, especially yesterday Atletico Madrid won the match against Lazio in the Champions League with a score of 2-0 and I saw that their performance was very good.

But Bilbao certainly doesn't want to lose even though their last match was against Granada which only resulted in a 1-1 draw and I think at the moment I'm confused about who to bet on who will win. and I also want to know what you think here...

because in my opinion Bilbao cannot be underestimated like when they competed against the team that is currently at the top of the standings, namely Girona, at that time the score was a 1-1 draw, so the point is that Bilbao always has strength that is difficult to predict, so I think this match will make us confused about who will win it. It seems certain that the two coaches will work hard to develop strategies and formations for Atletico Madrid's upcoming match against Bilbao.

[iBaba]

Maybe this is Girona's weakness this season, they don't have reserve players who are commensurate with the main players and this is very risky if their players get injured, especially since the league season is still very long. Therefore, in the January transfer market they had to buy several players to cover this shortfall.

Indeed, Girona have changed the narrative about La Liga league this year with their awesome performance this season. And like you said, they will work hard to smoothly and swiftly win over the next match since they are meeting with a very less challenging club this time around coupled with their morales already high after they succeeded in challenging Barcelona to a win.

As for the weakness of the second XI of Girona, it is not a thing that is peculiar to them and it is also threatening other big clubs too right now. But whst I don't pray for Girona is for their top players to go to an injury. If that happens, it will definitely threaten their longevity at the first place of the table standing.

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.

That missing gake would be Sevilla and it seems like they'll also defeat Sevilla who are also currently struggling to find balance. They've faced challenges from the Champions League and La Liga. Back to Atletico Madrid, they're going well and like you said are much better position even with one game less. 
Barcelona needs to find ways to start scoring goals and also stop conceding too many goals in between with that tjey can be stabilized and start chasing for the league once again.

Facing Girona? Girona needs no introduction and they should already know that they are not the club they want to underestimate anymore. After qualifications for the Champions League knockouts, I hope tired legs and fatigue doesn't affects them in this game.

[zaim7413]

Next week Girona will only face Alaves, which in fact is a club that can still be defeated easily by Giroba at this time, which is certain that Girona is the favorite but on the other hande even though their performance is different, the strength of the Alaves players is not much different from Girona so Girona does not consider this match easy just because of the positive streak they get.  

I'm very certain Girona is going to win the match against Deportivo Alaves because with the current position of Girona on the La Liga table they will never jock with any match because any opportunity they miss will automatically become an advantage for Real Madrid because there points difference is not much so the only way for Girona to continue leading on the table is to always maintain there constant wining.

Girona is in high confidence after successfully beating Barcelona at Camp Nou, the positive results that Girona has continued to achieve in the last few matches have made them entitled to dominate the standings. Alaves strength is much weaker than Barcelona, Girona should be able to beat Alaves easily.

The very close difference in points with Real Madrid means that Girona must win the match in order to maintain their safe position at the top of the standings. Real Madrid is still trying to win first place, Girona must not underestimate any of their opponents so they can get full points in every match.

However, to what extent Girona can maintain something like this is still a question mark because it is very difficult for a team to maintain its consistency, especially the Girona team which does not have supporting players who are comparable to its main players.

Generally this season has come with too many surprises both from the German bundesliga and other leagues generally and this has really made these leagues more interesting and generally further attracted more attention to these leagues as this anticipation for the unknown has literally brought home the fun that most have really wanted to experience with these leagues.

The emergence of Girona cam almost unexpected because much attention were on Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletico Madrid as usual and it seemed like Girona quietly went up the table un noticed till they won Barcelona it became clear that they are deserving of much attention than they have been give, I must say seeing the match against Barcelona ga e me a really different perception about Girona and I began to see them as the new strong contender in the bundesliga that deserves some attention, nevertheless I still have some confidence in Barcelona and hoping they will make it to the top four before the end of the season.

Therefore, in the January transfer market they had to buy several players to cover this shortfall.

Shocking to see an average club topping the La Liga table this season, some say it's luck but I called it hardwork backup with discipline and consistency. The coach and the players have good chemistry going on between them and everyone pleases to watch them on the pitch, they're not classified as top team but whenever they play matches, they're on different level and on high spirits just like big clubs. Girona will sign more promising backup players for their primary players this season. Everyone keen on winning the La Liga title but not everyone have the possession to take over.

[X-ray]

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it. However, I still have faith in them. Barcelona will likely turn things around in their upcoming La Liga away games, starting with Valencia.

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 4.90

Girona 5.88

Atlético Madrid 9.80

There is a clear leader, Real Madrid, and then there are everyone else. Moreover, Barcelona is already practically equal to Girona. According to rumors, the Barcelona management is considering the option of dismissing Xavi, but this is unlikely to change anything since no major transfers are planned in the winter and the new coach will, in any case, have to work with what he has until the end of the season. The only reason why we can get +50% by betting on Real (and not 10% or 15%) is because Real itself may have problems (for example, if the injury epidemic continues) and will not maintain the pace necessary to take the title. I don’t know how to assess the likelihood of such a negative scenario, but I consider betting on Real Madrid profitable.

It surprises me to see that how barcelona is much favorable to win the la liga compared to the girona. Im thinking about the result from the previous match was strong enough to determine the qualify of girona over barcelona at the current season.
To be honest, im not even trying to judge barcelon as a bad team but we must also realize with the fact. It seems like that bookies were also thinking the historical factor of club as one of important variable to determine the odds for the club.

Im not even expecting that if girona stil being unfavorable compared to the barcelona. The thing that i know that if barcelona is still struggling at this moment. It's caused by the club is facing so many issues.
It's started with the financial trouble and then it was also continue with some players were leaving with free agent. This makes barcelona unable to print some money from selling them all.

I can't even predict what considerations from bookies to put barcelona above girona at this time.

[Xxmodded]

The emergence of Girona cam almost unexpected because much attention were on Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletico Madrid as usual and it seemed like Girona quietly went up the table un noticed till they won Barcelona it became clear that they are deserving of much attention than they have been give, I must say seeing the match against Barcelona ga e me a really different perception about Girona and I began to see them as the new strong contender in the bundesliga that deserves some attention, nevertheless I still have some confidence in Barcelona and hoping they will make it to the top four before the end of the season.

Unbelievable with Girona success has consistency performance exactly when defeating Barcelona on their home match last week, usually difficult to see mediocre teams will be longer time on top position standings but difference with Girona almost end first half season success break Barcelona, Atletico and Real Madrid dominance on the top standings place. Usually with La Liga have two dominance teams between Real Madrid and Barcelona but this season will be difference at present Girona making dominance on top position with Madrid and Barcelona have dropped from the top position.

Regarding with consistency performance from Girona seems they have chance for keeping top or dominance on top fourth position until several matches later, they have defeated Barcelona and left few top teams will be easily get three points.

[Onyeeze]

The match between Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna, from the previous performance of Osasuna I don't think that team of Osasuna can be able to defeat Rayo Vallecano, because the last match of Osasuna it played 1:1 against Cadiz and the goal was equalise through penalty base on their pressure to Cadiz so they will not lose this match because their previous match they almost lose the match,it was at die minutes the penalty manifest, so for Rayo Vallecano, they may likely defeat Osasuna because if you go through their history you see that they have a very record they have lose a match and it may be that they will win the match or it ended draw, because both team is of same performance style from my understanding

[wakier]

But for some reason, I really like this kind of competition. Girona, who appeared very extraordinary, became the difference this season which made the competition even more interesting. We certainly know that some big clubs will certainly not let Girona too long at the top of the standings especially with their current performance which is very good but on the Girona side they also don't want to slacken their current performance especially with the momentum they have and with the results that have been positive for Girona so far, they certainly don't want to end this quickly.

Next week Girona will only face Alaves, which in fact is a club that can still be defeated easily by Giroba at this time, which is certain that Girona is the favorite but on the other hande even though their performance is different, the strength of the Alaves players is not much different from Girona so Girona does not consider this match easy just because of the positive streak they get.  

This is becoming more and more interesting and the competition is even more exciting to participate in because the competition is fierce, previously we only saw competition between Real Madrid, Barcelona and also Atletico Madrid, but this season Girona emerged as a surprise, making the La Liga competition even more interesting.

However, to what extent Girona can maintain something like this is still a question mark because it is very difficult for a team to maintain its consistency, especially the Girona team which does not have supporting players who are comparable to its main players.

Indeed, since Girona has become a challenger to big teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, the matches in Laliga have become more interesting to watch and of course the competition has become competitive and tense. Girona is able to put pressure on big teams and so far has not experienced a decline, which means their coach deserves to be appreciated. Its success make Girona one of the big teams, especially now that they are at the top of the points table, this definitely makes the mediocre teams even more enthusiastic and continues to prove that they are also capable like Girona if they can be serious and can improve their performance and be in the right trainer.

   It is not yet certain to what extent Girona will be able to maintain its consistency. Indeed, many are worried that if a team performs well at the start, it does not necessarily mean that at the end they will be able to maintain it. Their job is only to maintain the stability of the team so that it does not decline.

[Solokan]

Girona will sign more promising backup players for their primary players this season. Everyone keen on winning the La Liga title but not everyone have the possession to take over.

Indeed, a team needs reserve players and it would also be better if the reserve players had to be of good quality. In my opinion, it would be better if Girona brought in great new players so that Girona's performance would be even better because now the competition is getting tougher if Girona doesn't maintain its performance. It's possible that another team will shift Girona's position and I also don't know what Girona will do in the future to maintain its performance but I heard rumors that Barcelona will return Romeu to Girona and I think Girona will be happy to accept him but who knows, we'll see. just what happens in January.

Yes, of course everyone wants to win the title and I think Girona will definitely have the potential to win and become champions this season, but now Girona must really maintain its performance because like Madrid Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid certainly want to become champions this season, and in my opinion Girona also has to be wary of Bilbao because Girona once drew against Bilbao. I think Bilbao is a team that you have to be wary of because sometimes when playing Bilbao they always give surprises.

Imagine if Girona become a champion in La Liga, but both Barcelona and Real Madrid didn't earn anything because they lose in Champions League, this will be interesting. I don't expect them to win in Champions League, they're currently under development and not having their best eleven players.\

I hope Girona will become a champion, I don't see either Real Madrid or Barcelona anymore lol.

[topbitcoin]

Next week Girona will only face Alaves, which in fact is a club that can still be defeated easily by Giroba at this time, which is certain that Girona is the favorite but on the other hande even though their performance is different, the strength of the Alaves players is not much different from Girona so Girona does not consider this match easy just because of the positive streak they get.  

I'm very certain Girona is going to win the match against Deportivo Alaves because with the current position of Girona on the La Liga table they will never jock with any match because any opportunity they miss will automatically become an advantage for Real Madrid because there points difference is not much so the only way for Girona to continue leading on the table is to always maintain there constant wining.

And also there prayer should be that Real Madrid should lose or draw there match so that if they eventually wins Deportivo Alaves they will stand on upper edge against Real Madrid and before Real Madrid could meet them again they might have gone far so perhaps with that Girona is sure of first or second position at the end of the league.

But it is true that sometimes playing against clubs that are equal or even weaker will be a little difficult for Girona. The Girona scheme that is always done when facing big clubs is the utilization of momentum and something like that sometimes cannot be done when facing weak clubs or equivalent clubs because other teams also apply the same scheme so it is not uncommon to play against clubs of the same level as Girona or even lower they are often troubled about it.
Indeed, for now, talking about statistics and probabilities, Girona will definitely be the favorite in this match but sometimes there is something that can be unexpected and I hope for that because I still expect Madrid to return to its position this week.

As for Madrid, the draw in the previous week against Betis was obviously annoying and they will have to try harder now that they have to catch Girona at the top.

That is the worst scenario for Barcelona and Real Madrid because they indirectly let Girona roam free to win the title. Even if in the end both of them are eliminated from the Champions League, then immediately they will have to focus on La Liga and I think these two teams will still be able to share their busy schedule. The problem is that Barcelona failed to stop Girona in the previous meeting and that made Girona feel like he wasn't afraid of anyone anymore. The only team that lost to Girona was Real Madrid and maybe if Real Madrid can do it again in the second meeting then they will be favored again to win the title but for Barcelona I think this team is already quite far behind.
