La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[wmaurik]

Diego Simeone have set out his plans to ensure he wins a competitive club this season. Los Colchoneros are 4th on the table with good points incoming to accumulate, never relent on a club to become a promising one because there are obstacles that will comprehend a club. Atletico Madrid can be a very promising threat for Girona this season but we're still waiting and expecting the very best performance from both sides. Real Betis can't not stand to face the capacity of Girona this season. Girona are first on the table, not withstanding any current pressure.

Since the start of this season I have also seen that Atletico Madrid could indeed be a threat to other teams, especially to Girona who are currently at the top of the standings. But what I'm worried about right now is not Girona, but Barcelona, which might not be able to get third place when Atletico Madrid continues to consistently win matches in La Liga. As for Girona, I think that the team will continue to be great until the end of the season even though there is a possibility for Real Madrid to take over Girona's position this season.

[Rengga Jati]

They are all playing nothing to loose. Their goal is always to win every match....

Girona will not be slowing down, will they? They don't look like a team that would let anything stop them. They're so determined.
I must confess that I was one of those who never gave them a chance in the beginning. I have been following the La Liga for a while now and it was not the first time a team climbs to the top of the table, so I was not convinced by Girona, but as time went by they began ti convince me one game after the other.

Yes, right now they are truly Unstoppable. It seems like you're not the only one who feels that way. I'm sure many people, including me personally, are also very surprised by how Girona is progressing. In the last season, Girona was never even a team worth considering and I myself never even focused on this team. However, when suddenly Girona was able to reach the top and continue to consistently be in the top position or runners up in La Liga this season, I was really interested and curious about what group Girona was actually like and what about their squad. and it turns out that the strongest ones are not the famous ones or consist of the world's top players, right? but their coach can really manage and optimize all their strengths, unite them solidly and motivate them very well so that they are always on fire and motivated to win without any heavy burden on them. This is truly amazing. Even though in the end Girona did not hold the La Liga trophy and they were able to enter the UCL, this was a very good achievement for them.

Currently Atletico Madrid is playing against Getafe. I think that Atletico Madrid can beat Getafe. but unfortunately their team got a red card in the 30th minute. so this will definitely affect their performance. Luckily after that they were also able to score one goal. Well at least this isn't bad enough. But that didn't last long because Getafe were also able to equalize one-on-one until now it's still the same. This is a quite dangerous position for Atletico Madrid because the match is still quite long and anything can happen, especially since they are only playing with 10 people.

This season, both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are not much different at all. If you say Atletico Madrid is better, then look at their statistics so far. Barcelona has only suffered 2 defeats in 17 matches, while Atletico Madrid has suffered 4 defeats. If Getafe is really able to make changes to today's match, then it is not impossible that Atletico Madrid will suffer 5 defeats.

I'm not worried about Barcelona even though I don't expect them to defend the title this season. Real Madrid is a team I expect to win the La Liga title after they failed last season, but this season is still very long and everything can still change.

Xavi's scheme is not wrong, he knows that this scheme is a scheme that is good enough for Barcelona especially this is their hallmark in competing but I also agree with what you said because for now Xavi's scheme is still very lacking and cannot be applied properly to the current players especially since clubs in La Liga already know very well what they have to do because they just have to continue to defend and wait for the momentum when Barcelona makes mistakes in their attacking patterns.

Actually, Barcelona's attack pattern did not only fail against Girona but indeed in several other matches as well. Their finishing problem is also still quite disturbed at the moment, especially when Lewa, who is the spearhead, still cannot restore his performance like last season which makes Barcelona even more troubled.
But the season is still long enough so there is still time for Xavi to continue to develop performance and restore the performance of the players who are missing at the moment so that they can regain momentum and continue to compete in La Liga especially now that their status is the defending champion.

Barcelona's problem this season is not only about the goal productivity of their strikers, but Barcelona is also disturbed in defense. Barcelona only conceded 20 goals in 38 matches last season, but this season they have conceded 19 goals in 17 matches. Barcelona's goals per game ratio is relatively low compared to Bilbao, Atletico Madrid, Girona and also Real Madrid. These are several problems that Xavi must immediately resolve, otherwise Barcelona will not be able to compete until the end of the season to defend its title.

Until week 17, Real Madrid was the strongest team in defense with only conceding 11 goals. Their goal productivity is also very impressive, but unfortunately Girona, who is in good form, has managed to lead the standings at the moment. I know Real Madrid can easily throw Girona into second place, that's because the gap between the two points is only 2 points.

Talking about the defenders of Barcelona and their performance in the last games they had, Revently Barcelona didn't have a good performance in the ems we saw from the team and especially in the last game they had against Valencia in which Barcelona got a 1-1 against this team but Ronald Araújo the player of Barcelona start defending their team and the performance they had. Ronald Araújo said even after the games they don't good results, Ronald Araújo is excited because he will try to get better results in the next games,

[Alpha Marine]

Well Atletico Madrid were leading with 1 goal before Getafe getting the draw few minutes ago. Playing with 10 players will make the game more complicated, yet I think Atletico Madrid could win this match.

How is Atletico winning this game 3-1 with 10 men? This is some interesting stuff. After it was 1-1, I thought Atletico were going to defend it since they were on a red card, but they were able to score 2 goals. The decision to remove De Paul and bring in Morata has paid off.
Greizmann is still the man for Atletico, he's not slowing down.

Though Real Madrid have been so resilient in their performance so far but I don't think they may be able to win the la Liga this season reason being that they're competing in the Champions league and also their domestic league so a time will come when fatigue may start affecting most of their players due to playing too many matches just within a few interval of days so at that time they will start dropping in form thereby giving other title contenders the opportunity to overtake them and possibly win the la Liga title.

Real Madrid is not a small team that cannot deal with 3 competitions at the same time. I'm not saying they'll win it, but saying they can't win the league because of the Champions League is false. Teams like Madrid start the season to win every single trophy. They don't focus on just a single trophy. If they lose out on anyone, they move on to the next, but their original target was every single trophy.

What a pity Atletico Madrid.
Even though Atletico Madrid were able to take the lead even though they only played with 10 players. They were even able to lead 3 - 1 until the 69th minute. But unfortunately. they failed to maintain it. And unfortunately, they had to get back a goal from Getafe's final kick in the last minute. This match is almost over. and it seems that Atletico Madrid's chances of winning are getting smaller. It's very unfortunate. But what can I do, they are playing with 10 players. The coach should have been able to anticipate several things when they were leading at 3-1.
And the result of the full time match between Atletico Madrid vs Getafe is 3 - 3. This is quite a disappointing result for ATM.

Atletico Madrid were really unbalanced in their game in this match because the red card received by Savic made them unable to defend well when Getafe attacked. Maybe this result is quite fair for both teams because Atletico Madrid played with 10 players which means they have to accept the result of today's match by winning 1 point. Even though their strength is stronger, the opposing team is superior in number of player, so it will hinder them when the opponent starts to put pressure.

An additional 1 point makes Atletico Madrid stay in 3rd place in the standings but their points are the same as Barcelona. First place, namely Girona, is increasingly secure at the top of the standing because they only have one close rival, namely Real Madrid, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have a large difference in points with Girona.

Maybe disappointing for Atletico because they found 3-1 but when you look at the whole game this is justified. Getafe played better and deserved something out of this game. They had 29 shots, they tried everything to score. Atletico did what they could do after Savic was shown red card. It's hard to play with one less player for 50 minutes. Getafe found chances to win the game, it could've been 3-4 so Atletico shouldn't be sad about this score.
When Oscar Rodriguez entered the game Getafe played better, Borja Mayoral was pretty effective. Both teams did their best and showed us a good match. I think it's fair for them to get 1 point each.

Atletico madrid weakness was when Savic was sent off but they were able to defend well in the first half but in the second half they were unable to maintain their performance because Getafe were able to increase attack after attack to score a goal. 29 shots and 59% ball control, of course Getafe played better compared to Atletico madrid.

I agree with you that Atletico madrid shouldn't regret a draw in this match because they could have lost if they couldn't break down several good chances that Getafe had. Griezmann did succeed in making the stadium roaring when he managed to break into Getafe goal, but that disappeared because Getafe was able to turn things around to a draw until the end of the match.

Atl. Madrid is playing against Getafe today. How easy do you think this game will be for Atl. Madrid. Although Atl. Madrid has won in all it's 6 recent home matches while Getafe is found of playing draw in most of is recent away matches. How do you think the match will go?

It exactly what I was thinking that later happened in this game. I just posted it here to see people's opinion on this game. I know Atl. Madrid may not be able to defeat Getafe. Although the red card received by Savic S was part of the reason why Atl. Madrid may find it difficult to successfully win this match.

[Belarge]

And the result of the full time match between Atletico Madrid vs Getafe is 3 - 3. This is quite a disappointing result for ATM.

This is not the Atletico Madrid I know because alot have changed. What happen to the defensive strategy executed by Diego Simeone today? Atletico Madrid are gradually losing points and dropping from the key phases this season, however bouncing back have remain constant for Atletico Madrid, more reason for the fans to doubt their club's energy in matches and expectations will definitely cut shorten. Atletico Madrid vs Getafe ended in a dissapointing 3-3 draw. A game that's been declared Los Colchoneros as the winners, only for me to come back and watch and see thus surprising results.

Of course a red card can always greatly contribute to a defeat, but we are still talking about Atletico Madrid vs. Getafe and this is not to disrespect Getafe, but this game wasn't lost due to the red card. This game was lost because Atletico Madrid surprisingly messed up to play with the time during the final phase of the game. Everyone knows that this is one of the things that Atletico Madrid loves the most. Waste time, pretend to be injured, bring on new players, receive yellow cards for other shenanigans and now it was them who wasted a two goal advantage. Kind of hilarious.

I don't have lots of information about Atletico Madrid but I know Barcelona got many injured players during this season and this team is not in a good situation and you saw that in the last games we saw from Barcelona, while were expecting to see a good performance from this team like the last season but Barcelona totally ailed.
Now it seems their effective player, Pedri is injured and he can't play for his team for a long time. Xavi should give Pedri three weeks to get back in the good form and get recovered,

[Sexylizzy2813]

I know the pressure is on Girona because some fans would like to see them progress and some would like to see them fail, it will only be a pressure on Girona only if they let it get to them. Betis and Atletico Madrid can be the teams to make them fall out but I believe when the time comes they can even beat both teams while waiting for the return leg of Madrid and Barcelona, because to me I see Madrid and Barcelona as the only clubs to give Girona a though time.

I believe that with the present performance of both present competitors Bentis and Atletico Madrid and for sure Girona will have an advantage over both of them when next they face each other in the next leg,  when it comes to football we can't 100% give a club sure winning when the match has not been played because a lot can happen within the 90 minutes plus of the game.

But the problem for Girona is to be more intense when they face Real Madrid or Barcelona who are already the biggest clubs in the league and the top clubs to possibly win the league title for this season at sopointnts.

You're right about not getting the 100% prediction when the game hasn't started yet, because we might be saying Girona can clinch a win over those two teams (Betis and Atletico Madrid, even other teams too) but injury can decide to take some of the best players in that team and they become weak to perform as good as they're now.
In as much as I want Girona to always stand tall against Madrid and Barcelona I still don't see these two teams as clubs that used to be that deadly in the Spanish league, Madrid don't have much of that experience as of last season and Barcelona are slowly losing form.
The Barcelona side are getting it wrong in terms of performance and I just see them as less threat (said it before), so I'd still have the Girona as the team to always give Madrid and Barcelona alot of problem this season.

At the beginning of first half Atletico was performing well they even several times to threaten Getafe defensive lines but everything was change when Savić got red card because Savić is a defender player and losing him will greatly affect to the performance of Atletico although Simeone made a change with played César Azpilicueta as defender to replace Savić position i think it was late because Atletico have lost the rhythm of their game however this is Atletico postponed match but unfortunately they were failed to utilized this match to cut their difference points with Real Madrid

For other match after through an 10 matches without the winning results on Laliga finally Sevilla can able return to the winning ways after beat Granada with final scores 3-0 and this is debut match for Sevilla new manager Quique Sanchez Flores he was replace Sevilla previous manager Diego Alonso however Quique Sanchez Flores was train Getafe on 2015 and at that time he was successfully to save Getafe from relegation zone and this winning result is good start for Sevilla and probably he can do the same thing and save Sevilla from relegation zone too

This season, all the teams that have competed against Girona admit that Girona is a tough opponent. Even though Real Madrid was able to beat Girona in the previous match, Girona really made it difficult for Real Madrid to win. Meanwhile, there are only 3 teams who are able to prevent Girona from getting maximum points in 17 matches and only 1 of them is able to beat Girona.

This is one of the best seasons Girona has had in La Liga. They lead the standings with a 2 point advantage over Real Madrid and 9 points from Barcelona. This is the best way to prove that not all poor teams deserve to be underestimated in a competition, so that in the end Girona's performance deserves to lead the standings.

This means that the only team that has been able to beat Girona this season is only Real Madrid, while the other teams until now have not been able to and have only been able to draw so they share points.
We know Barcelona are a big and tough team but Girona being able to beat them is something of a big surprise especially now adrift of points away from Barcelona which I said it would be difficult to pursue.

It seems that this season will belong to Girona even if it doesn't miss until the end of the year, I don't know if after the half-season break there is no decline we don't know about that yet but I believe Girona can still maintain their performance.

I am really surprised to see how Girona I used to play in a gamble to lose is proven to be a serious La Liga title contender this season. If Girona beats Real Betis in Betis home, then I will say Real Madrid has a long way to go in winning the La Liga title this season.

for me, it seems like you can't just judge from the current point of view and Girona is just a mediocre team who is lucky to be having quite good performance because they are taking advantage of the busy situation of big teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona who are focused on the UCL while in the next few weeks the big teams this could focus more on La Liga and this means that Girona could be displaced because Girona does not have enough experience to be at the top of the standings in terms of strategy Girona will not be able to stay at the top of the standings for long.
we can see later what will happen, but what is certain is that currently Girona is only a challenger at the top of the standings and is not part of the candidates for the La Liga title.

in the upcoming match we will see how the position in the standings develops because Girona faces a team that will beat them. Real Betis is one of the teams that will break Girona in the upcoming match and I am very confident that Real Betis will be able to win with a narrow score and Girona will lose points in that match.
meanwhile Real Madrid will face Alves and without a doubt there will be a very big opportunity to get 3 points from Alves, this is just an easy job for Ancelotti.
and Barcelona will face Almeria who are part of one of the worst teams in La Liga this season being at the bottom of the standings without a win and this is also a very easy job for Xavi to steal 3 points from Almeria.

well, from these results it is certain that Real Madrid and Barcelona will get 3 points and Girona will not necessarily be able to win.

well, from these results it is certain that Real Madrid and Barcelona will get 3 points and Girona will not necessarily be able to win.

They might not have the experience but there's always a first time I must tell you, to be honest with you I think taking advantage of the fact that Barcelona and Real Madrid are busy with Champions League that's what's keeping their hope alive. You would have said this next season, let's say Girona some how won the league title, you'd agree with me that their form won't be the way we're seeing it now, because too many engagement would cloud them to the extend that fatigue would hit on them.
I don't see anything special about Betis as they go head to head against Girona, in that encounter I feel the league leaders would be victorious in that fixture. It is either a 1nil win, that's possible, yes the Betis side are stubborn but they won't cause any damage to the Girona, I tip the Girona to win in that game.
The other side are going to win talking about Barcelona and Real Madrid but if you feel Girona are the only team that's going to lose then you're mistaken on that prediction.

Far too early to say this as there are still 21! games to go. Real Madrid has so much experience and they can patiently play their game and wait for Girona to make mistakes. As you can see Girona is playing an almost perfect season and is Real Madrid close? That's the problem, Real Madrid doesn't make lots of mistakes. The pressure for Girona will remain high, but I think the objective to finish the season as a club from the top four is realistic. Maybe if they are still leading after 27 games or so, it is time to grab for the title.

Now it seems their effective player, Pedri is injured and he can't play for his team for a long time. Xavi should give Pedri three weeks to get back in the good form and get recovered,

For almost three season, Atletico Madrid has experienced decline but is considered quite stable and consistent because they tend to almost have the same quality of performance in each season, but in the 2020/21 season Atletico Madrid managed to become La Liga champions.
Amazingly, they can always get stuck in 3rd place and this has been the case for several seasons.
But if you compare it with other teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona, it will look very different every time they dominate La Liga.

Agree that Barcelona is currently really experiencing some complicated problems due to players being injured and this means that Xavi has to really work hard in creating good team performance with the players they have.
Moreover, this season has been quite a tough season for Barcelona because they are far behind Girona, who is at the top of the standings, and Real Madrid, who is in second place.
Barcelona can only fight and fight for third place with Atletico Madrid so it feels like there is no hope for Barcelona to be able to get close or fight for the title this season.

I know it too early to say all these things because it only midway through the season, but seeing how the quality of top teams Girona and Real Madrid play is so consistent, some people can't expect Barcelona to be champions.
Their only chance is when the top team makes several mistakes that result in several defeats but it doesn't seem like it will happen and the top team always tries to optimize the game as best as possible to maintain their position.
