La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[TastyChillySauce00]

Barcelona vs Almeria match, I think Barcelona will use this match to achieve three points that will give their fans hope that they can still make it before the end of this season, because Almeria is not a strong team in this season and it will be an easy match for Barcelona to form strong team. I know Barcelona will win this match but it will be difficult for Barcelona to end up in first or second position in this la Liga league competition, because Girona and Real Madrid are in a good mood to make the battle be between Girona that is toping the table and Real Madrid that are in second position. This season is full of surprised this season because I never expect Girona will top Barcelona and Real Madrid in this season, because Barcelona and Real Madrid are know among the strong teams in the la Liga league tournament but there is a hope that Real Madrid will take that position back before the end of the tournament.

It will be a very easy match for barcelona but this is still my prediction. I meant anything can also affect the output from this game. Almeria was a garbage club and in fact, this club is still at the relegation zone. I see no chance for almeria to win against barcelona but i hope it will be draw.
It will give opportunity for real madrid and girona to leave barcelona behind. Almeria was the worst club in the la liga right now. It has no chemistry and it's so terrible to watch almeria's gameplay. i will not even watch it coz the result can be known easily.
The only problem if bookies were offering very small odds for barcelona right now. It was only offering 1.16 for barcelona to win the game but im sure barcelona will not be winning it with huge margins.
I would rather than take 1x2 barcelona as my bet consider it will be ez money but it's not worth with the risk. Im not really sure many people are taking this match to bet coz the odds is very very small.

I want to start thinking that Girona might win this league this season because I don't know where they got energy from to dominate this season. It is not like in the history of the club they once had a Laliga trophy that will convince me that they have experience like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and many other teams with reputation with Laliga but Girona is just different and they are even stronger than ever because so far they have the highest number of goals scored in total but I admire Real Madrid for the most disciplined team staying at the top with less number of conceded goals.

We have to seriously think about chance for Girona to win La Liga when a season already passes through nearly half of it. Real Madrid and Barcelona have their different problems which are not small and those problems from giant clubs shed a light of hope for Girona.

To win La Liga, it is not easy for Girona but if they can lead the lead after 17 matches, they can do it after like 27 matches or 30 matches and I am sure if they actually do it at that time, we will have to say Girona are counting down to lift La Liga trophy.

They still have a long journey to go but I believe they are dreaming about it and even are seriously doing their job from training to playing in real matches to collect points and with each winning, their confidence increases more and their hope becomes bigger.

Barcelona vs Almeria match, I think Barcelona will use this match to achieve three points that will give their fans hope that they can still make it before the end of this season, because Almeria is not a strong team in this season and it will be an easy match for Barcelona to form strong team. I know Barcelona will win this match but it will be difficult for Barcelona to end up in first or second position in this la Liga league competition, because Girona and Real Madrid are in a good mood to make the battle be between Girona that is toping the table and Real Madrid that are in second position. This season is full of surprised this season because I never expect Girona will top Barcelona and Real Madrid in this season, because Barcelona and Real Madrid are know among the strong teams in the la Liga league tournament but there is a hope that Real Madrid will take that position back before the end of the tournament.

The Barcelona team is already slowly falling out of the title fight. They have won only two of their last five matches. Despite the defeat against Girona, Barcelona have failed to win against a weak team  like Valencia.

If Barcelona cannot win against Almeria in the next match, then they will have no hope of winning the title this season. I say this because Barcelona are now 9 points behind Girona and 7 points behind Real Madrid. It is very difficult to close such a large point gap. Because Girona and Madrid's performances are more consistent than Barcelona's. Barcelona will not be able to regain the top spot in the table if these two teams do not drop consecutive points.

Barcelona fans definitely want to hope for a win next time against Almeria and this match will definitely make a lot of people bet on Barcelona winning because Barcelona is currently in 4th place and has 35 points and Atletico Madrid also currently has 35 points. But now Almeria is the one is in 20th place, which is the last place in the standings, of course there is great potential for Barcelona to win the match, but in my opinion Barcelona must be careful because I saw when Almeria played against Atletico Madrid the score was not far, namely only 2-1 and I was amazed at the The performance of Leo Baptistao who scored a goal against Atletico Madrid, so I think in the match against Barcelona, ​​Almeria will certainly use their abilities to win. and I also saw that against Betis it resulted in a draw so of course in this case Xavi must be able to make a strategy and not think Almeria is weak. It is indeed very difficult for Barcelona to take the position of Girona or Real Madrid because the point difference is quite large, but I think if they take Atletico Madrid's position, of course there is a big opportunity for Barcelona as long as Barcelona consistently wins. Yes, of course at the end of the tournament, if for example Girona always loses then it's possible that Real Madrid will take Girona's position. Yes, indeed, if Girona and Real Madrid don't lose then it will definitely be difficult for Barcelona to become champions like last season. Xavi is now really being tested because he has to be able to improve Barcelona's quality.

Girona really impresses game after game, really beautiful games. They are Real Madrid's serious competitors to win La Liga, and Real Madrid should not take this lightly. With the game like now, it feels very difficult for other teams to beat, unless they meet Real Madrid, Barcelona and ATM again in the second match, they could lose points.

I want to start thinking that Girona might win this league this season because I don't know where they got energy from to dominate this season. It is not like in the history of the club they once had a Laliga trophy that will convince me that they have experience like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and many other teams with reputation with Laliga but Girona is just different and they are even stronger than ever because so far they have the highest number of goals scored in total but I admire Real Madrid for the most disciplined team staying at the top with less number of conceded goals.

Girona performance this season has been in the spotlight of football fans, this team has suddenly emerged as a dark horse team by dominating the top of the standings. The competition at the top of the standings for the title has been dominated by Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, this time Girona appeared strong and succeeded in giving competition to Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

His performance continues to improve after receiving new energy from the players brought in at the start of the season, making football fans, especially La Liga, appreciate Girona by placing them as a team that will probably win the La Liga title this season. Now a heavy burden is on Girona's body after successfully topping the standings, they are always required to perform optimally because if they make even the slightest mistake then Real Madrid will take over their position.

[shinratensei_]

I remain confident that this season Real Madrid will become La Liga champions, a difference of two points is very easy for Real Madrid to overcome. Girona will be in second or third place at the end of the season. Even so, Girona should be proud of their hard work to be able to qualify for the UCL League next season.

If the league champions are clearly inadequate girona squad, a realistic target for girona this season remains in the top 4 and next season can compete in the champions league.
To compete with Real Madrid, whose finance is very large, the squad is very good until the reserves are also good players, it will be very difficult for Girona, what's more, the long league journey there are injured players or accumulated cards will be very difficult for Girona, while Real Madrid with a large squad and qualified both the line up and the reserve players.

In general we would think so but sometimes money doesn't always work out well there are other things that can beat money, Many people think it is impossible for Girona to compete with Madrid but don't forget that surprising things can happen. Do you still remember how Leicester City made history in the Premier League? well Girona has the same opportunity this season. If you ask me yes I believe Girona can compete with Madrid the main indicator is that Girona scored 41 goals so far even Madrid is below them with 38 goals this means Girona has reliable players in the attack line Girona only weakness is defense.

True that's the main problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Girona has only its defensive line as the main problem while its competitors have almost have all of problems in the various positions. I think that the main problem owned by girona was not on how to fix its line up.
As you can see that if more teams were starting to send a signal to attract girona's players. This is the main problem owned by girona and i hope that the players can be loyal to the its club. I meant girona is still at the top position.
Will they try to miss golden momentum to keep play in the club that potentially to get a trophy this season? I think that the players needs to consider it as well. IM not saying other club was bad but the players are still needed by girona need to stay.
Michel needs to make sure their players will be staying much longer in the club. Girona needs to have good players on its side. Just because these players are performing extraordinary and they can be hijacked by other clubs.

[Weawant]

A difference of two points sounds very easy, but the wave of injuries hitting Real Madrid makes it difficult for Ancelloti.
I think it's time for Madrid to worry about Girona because Cinderella Story Girona will continue,
and it will be increasingly difficult for Real Madrid during the European run.
Real Madrid needs to sign a good CB quickly in January to continue competing in all competitions.
Nacho and Rüdiger alone are not enough.

Recently in a news I came across tho I've not been able to verify it's authenticity but then it was stated that most of Madrid's injured players will be back soonest, making it look more like a short term stuff which they will recover soonest and be back so the team wouldn't have to suffer for too long but then like I stated earlier I'm yet to verify completely.

In the Case where my speculations are true then I don't think two points difference should be a thing to really worry about with ancellotis squad, it will take them only two matches and they will not only close the gap but will be ahead with some more points. One injured player that will really affect the performance of Madrid will have to be that of Bellingham and this seem like the second time he has suffered injury this season, he is now injury prone and acelloti have to be very strategic using him so as to avoid his absence in vital games in the nearest future.

[rendravolt]

The Atletico vs Getafe match saw a rain of goals which meant that each team conceded 3 goals in this match and a total of 6 goals proved that the competition between the two on the field was very intense. It's a shame that Atletico, who were favored to win, only achieved a 3-3 draw against Getafe and this was a pretty good result for Getafe because they managed to secure 1 point through this match.

But Atletico's losses started in the first half when they had to play with 10 people after one of their players received a second yellow card. Borja Mayoral, who took the penalty kick in injury time, managed to save Getafe from defeat. Atletico's draw at home will only make Barcelona happy because Atletico now has the same points as Barcelona so this is a golden opportunity for Barcelona to start overtaking them.

Most people expected Atletico Madrid to win this match. But Madrid could not win. But getting 1 point cannot be called a bad result. Because after Stefan Savic received a red card in the 38th minute of the match, it was difficult to win this match with 10 players. Even then, until the 87th minute, Atletico Madrid was leading 3-1 in the match. If they had played completely defensively in the last 10 minutes, maybe Madrid would have been able to get 3 points from the match. Oscar Rodriguez scored in the 87th minute and Borja Mayorla scored from the penalty spot in extra time. The match ended in a 3-3 draw. Atletico Madrid are third in the table despite dropping points in this match.

Well, it's strange why Diego Simeone didn't instruct his players to carry out total defense because when they were ahead by a two-goal difference the coach should have thought about how his team couldn't concede and maintained their existing lead until the final minute. But unfortunately even if Diego Simeone had instructed this, Getafe knew the gaps in their defense would definitely be very difficult to stop Getafe's attack.

The penalty awarded by Getafe was proof that Atletico's defense was not ready to withstand Getafe's attacks so they had to commit a foul which ultimately resulted in a penalty kick for Getafe. I think this time Atletico were unlucky enough to lose in injury time and if they had been better prepared it is possible they would still have won with a score of 3-2 but the result said otherwise. Nice try for Atletico and they have to bounce back despite only sharing one point in this match.

Real Madrid is indeed where it is and their performance this season is still the same as the previous season.
And what Girona did was something that was not predicted from the start of the season, they are really very strong now and I am also starting to think that the fairy tale that happened in the Premier League when Leicester City became champions will happen again in La Liga this season, that is very possible.
Girona's performance is getting better and their confidence continues to increase along with the many positive results they get, this is a big asset for them to be able to maintain consistency until the end of the season.

Yeah its too early to say that Girona will dominate and be the champion of Laliga this season.
So far Michel is brilliant with his tactics, but we havent see how the team will react when they are under high pressure as the team who leading the Laliga now.

Any of Girona opponents will not underestimate them again, any teams want to beat Girona and they will do the best to achieve it.
Also fatigue and injuries could be a big problem, many of big teams failed to achieve their targets because of these issues.

Barcelona vs Almeria match, I think Barcelona will use this match to achieve three points that will give their fans hope that they can still make it before the end of this season, because Almeria is not a strong team in this season and it will be an easy match for Barcelona to form strong team. I know Barcelona will win this match but it will be difficult for Barcelona to end up in first or second position in this la Liga league competition, because Girona and Real Madrid are in a good mood to make the battle be between Girona that is toping the table and Real Madrid that are in second position. This season is full of surprised this season because I never expect Girona will top Barcelona and Real Madrid in this season, because Barcelona and Real Madrid are know among the strong teams in the la Liga league tournament but there is a hope that Real Madrid will take that position back before the end of the tournament.

This should be a match that Barcelona can use to start their team's revival because in terms of quality Almeria is the team that is worst off this season because the Almeria team has not been able to win a single match until week 17, they were only able to collect 5 points from 5 results. the series they got.
I think Barcelona will have no trouble in the match against Almeria, especially since Barcelona will be playing at home.
And Barcelona really needs a win in order to continue to close the points gap from Real Madrid and Girona, so I will bet big on Barcelona in this match.

There are many reasons why they should win this game against Almeria. Almeria isnt as good as they used to be this season, bless them. This is the team that hasnt won a game in seventeen weeks. That number tells us a lot. Barcelona, on the other hand, is playing at home and really wants to win so they can catch Real Madrid and Girona. For them, its not just a game; its about their fame and honor.

But lets not forget that football isnt always stable. Even though Almeria is the outsider, they have been known to surprise people. A win or a tie against Barcelona would mean a lot to them. So, even though I think Barcelona will win, especially since they are playing at home, I wouldnt rule out Almeria totally. A team can be dangerous when they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

It should be like that, Barcelona has no reason to perform badly and even  have to lose points in this match. Almeria may not be a worthy opponent, but then again on the other hand Almeria is capable of being a surprise team  against big clubs. Motivation sometimes  plays a more important role because for Almeria if they are able  to win or hold a draw with a club as big as Barcelona their existence will definitely be taken into account. OK, let's look at the depth of Xavi current Squad which is losing confidence  but they are also hungry to know that  fighting Almeria  is about maintaining their reputation. So it would be a shame in this  match that Barcelona could not achieve a landslide victory.

Let's hope barcelona to miss another three points again. This can be a good thing to told xavi if his team was performing so badly. Anyone was willing to see barcelona to win against almeria but i hope almeria will give us a surprise like getting draw against barcelona.
barcelona may be playing offensively against it and it can also become an opportunity for almeria to play fully defensive strategy against it. In fact, the parking bus strategy has always become the key factor to beat barcelona.
Almeria can use it as the main weapon for the upcoming game soon. Let's see how good barcelona in maintaining its game play against the worst club in the league.

Yes, I agree, it's important to stay realistic and not make predictions too quickly or jump to conclusions too early. Even though Girona appeared impressive and Michel showed his tactical abilities, it is still too early to say that they will dominate and become La Liga champions this season.

Coach Michel will have to react to the team, the high pressure and how they deal with challenges that may arise throughout the season will be key factors. The team that is leading is often faced with tough tests when its opponents begin to adapt to their style of play, because all teams are trying to beat them.

Yes that's right. Apart from that, fatigue and injury factors also play an important role. High-intensity football competitions can drain players' energy, and teams must be able to manage player rotations and deal with the challenge of injuries. Girona must be ready to face this if they want to maintain their position at the top of the standings.

Almeria can use it as the main weapon for the upcoming game soon. Let's see how good barcelona in maintaining its game play against the worst club in the league.

Honestly, if Barcelona gets anything other than a win it is going to be very surprising and that is also going to be the first win for Almeria in this season. That is if Barcelona does end up losing of course. Which obviously I do not think is going to happen. But you never know. Barcelona was also supposed to win the last match as well. But they did fail to do that. So nothing is certain in football in my opinion. If Barcelona actually be unlucky to lose that somehow, it is definitely going to be a disgrace.

[hahay]

Barcelona could finally sigh some relief with an easy fixture coming their way against Almeria, who are at the bottom of the league, leaking goals. Almeria have conceded 39 goals in just 17 games. Barcelona havn't won a match in their last 3 and would be looking to get one tonight. The attackers and defenders could use this fixture to build confidence and score goals while keeping cleansheet.

It is appropriate for Barcelona to win with a big score in the home match against Almeria today, even if for example Barcelona wins but only with a low score then I think the victory is not worthy. Because after all, Almeria is the worst team so far this season in La Liga and at the same time, Barcelona still has to improve its position to be able to catch up Real Madrid and Girona.

Therefore, of course it would not be right if Barcelona only won with a low score because yes, anyway this match should be a match with a very good chance for Barcelona to beat Almeria with big score of course. Thus, I hope Barcelona can win with a score of 3-0 or greater, of course that would be great.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yep, this is not very good for Sevilla but indeed when looking at the current conditions and the situation of Sevilla in recent seasons, especially for the beginning of the season, they always have the same performance, I am actually not too surprised by the results they have, it's just that this is quite upsetting to see.
Sevilla are too focused on the attack but they forget the defense that should be well guarded. Even though they applied 5 defenders but Getafe's fast counterattacks actually made some of the defenders they had unable to return to their positions.

Currently with the current situation, it's actually not very good for Sevilla but when looking at their schedule which will only focus on La Liga and the Copa del Rey alone I think this will still be very good for them and they can still return to mid-table positions even though they have to give up positions in the Champions League and Europa League next season.

Well, we have always seen that Sevilla's behavior is the same, the player that I have seen that has been very eager for him is Sergio Ramos, this player has put a lot of love into this team, however Sevilla's performance since last season has I have seen the same, I have not seen that they have improved, they are in a place where they have basically always been, they are not about winning Leagues, they are not about winning a lot, but they have been in these important participations and at least unlike many teams they have won the Europa League, which for me is a very difficult championship, this team has a lot of what we could say, but I don't know why, it's just that they are so inconsistent, it's like they lose the games they should win, I don't understand that, Of course, that's how things are in football, things can happen that way, but things can be very significant.

When we start to see other performances of the teams in the League, it is because basically they are doing a lot of things to be in the first positions, I would say that one of the teams that has surprised me the most is Girona, they are above Madrid and that Madrid is playing very well, above Barcelona that a team gbasically things have gone from bad to worse, I think that now Xavio will be able to go, because there are no more excuses that I can say that if he estdio, that if the people, that if the step, well anyway, he invents so many things that I really don't understand how he played so well when he was played, maybe because Messi resolved by scoring the goals and because they had an Iniesta He did many things and had a unique style of play, the truth is he is one of the players who did the best in Barcelona, in this order of games, I like the League the way it is right now, because this Girona team is very opr of those who are always in the first places, great for this team.

It is difficult if only 1 or 2 players have high spirits because in the end we also have to realize that the game on the field is about teamwork and even if there are people who are always used as a reference and backbone, it will not work if in the end their teamwork is poor, as well as Sevilla.
Sergio has never been indiscriminate as long as he plays then he will definitely be serious and that has not only happened at Sevilla but at several clubs before but the problem is that Sevilla's mentality has been bad since the previous few seasons which makes them always troubled and even now it can be said that they have not been able to bring their performance to a better direction.

Right now they have to focus because whatever happens now with the name of their club which can still be said to be quite large it will not be too ethical if it continues to be at the bottom of the table and they must fight for their performance to be even better especially with a schedule that is quite favorable for them at this time because the focus is only for La Liga.

For some clubs now and say about Girona then indeed this will be endless because their performance is really extraordinary until now, kmearin Madrid has been able to regain the top position but things like this are unlikely to be long if today Girona get 3 points again against Alaves.

Well yes, it is a fact, Sevilla has to do better , they have to give everything and be better because the numbers don't lie, their performance from now on has to be impeccable, they have to do something urgent so that they don't get left behind , it's difficult , now Girona won and yes , they are First in the standings and I don't know but this team is Showing great signs of doing things the way they should be, for me in particular this is how all the teams should be, this team has a lot of potential and is measuring up to Madrid , in fact I left out a Barcelona that also has a lot of history, and this is worth seeing and making others see why they have to do things like these to be able to generate a greater football force in Spain , despite From all this I like how things are going because Obviously when we talk about Football Wverything comes to mind of doing great things with teams like these, which have not much to talk About, but no one dares to Speak badly from a Girona that I believe its success is accompanied by good talent and great players.

When we see the Performance of this team it surprises us, we have to watch Girona's games to realize how these players love it , they fight from start to finish, and the truth is I don't know how they do to keep up with their rhythm where The football they apply is high speed and very strong, I don't know if what the coach did was primarily to reinforce their strength or speed so that they could do it like that ,  and also work under strong rhythms and have more resistance , this is something uqe obviously we see it as a lie of doing things well , we have to give them their credit Because you can see many things here, the unique work they have been Doing and I hope they continue to hold up to the level , I think that things here are more bearable than any other thing , because everything means that things can continue to give good surprises for Girona.

Girona retains top spot in La Liga after 3-0 win over Alaves

La Liga’s surprise package Girona moved back to the top of the table after sweeping aside Alaves 3-0 on Monday, with Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk scoring twice.

Girona, part-owned by the owners of Manchester City, opened up a two-point lead over Real Madrid after a straightforward victory.

Source: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/12/girona-retains-top-spot-in-la-liga-after-3-0-win-over-alaves/

I want to start thinking that Girona might win this league this season because I don't know where they got energy from to dominate this season. It is not like in the history of the club they once had a Laliga trophy that will convince me that they have experience like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and many other teams with reputation with Laliga but Girona is just different and they are even stronger than ever because so far they have the highest number of goals scored in total but I admire Real Madrid for the most disciplined team staying at the top with less number of conceded goals.

We have to seriously think about chance for Girona to win La Liga when a season already passes through nearly half of it. Real Madrid and Barcelona have their different problems which are not small and those problems from giant clubs shed a light of hope for Girona.

To win La Liga, it is not easy for Girona but if they can lead the lead after 17 matches, they can do it after like 27 matches or 30 matches and I am sure if they actually do it at that time, we will have to say Girona are counting down to lift La Liga trophy.

They still have a long journey to go but I believe they are dreaming about it and even are seriously doing their job from training to playing in real matches to collect points and with each winning, their confidence increases more and their hope becomes bigger.

Well in this case things are quite obvious, Girona has 44 points, Madrid has 42 points, the way things are going, one can say that Girona has quite a few things to do. But it is not enough to say that Girona will win. The truth is I think he has a long way to go, a mistake or something and Madrid goes ahead, just the fact that Girona has a draw is enough for Madrid to overtake them, so in this order of ideas things They can be very beneficial to make any move, I remember how when Madrid and Barcelona were fighting to do their best, between them they were only looking for first place, now it is not only the fight between them, Girona has undoubtedly done it very well. , and it is making a difference, this is why things happen at any time, Girona is one of the teams that mostly have the right now to be the best, of course we are going to see how Madrid acts then:

Carlo Ancelotti confirms Real Madrid transfer wish in possible new defender blow to Tottenham

The Austrian joins Eder Militao in almost certainly missing the second half of the campaign, leaving just Nacho Fernandez and Antonio Rudiger as Real's only fit central defenders.

That could prompt Ancelotti into a new signing this winter.

"We have spoken with the club, we will evaluate it in the coming days," he told reporters on Wednesday.

"We have time to do it because the market ends on January 31 and we are to look for the best possible solution. At the moment, we are in no hurry. This is not the time to name names.

"If there is the possibility of signing a player who is good for the club, we will do it."

Spurs are known to be keen on landing a centre-back with Nice star Jean-Claire Todibo high on their wish list. The likes of Liverpool and Manchester United have also been linked with the Frenchman.

Based on all this, I don't know what plans Ancelotti has with his players, but I see that so far what they have is enough to be able to have the best team that can win in the League and in the UCL, in this order of Now I can say that when it comes to making a team better or there is a problem, different ways have to be done to do the best to have control, but now what Madrid needs quickly is to regain the leadership, but it is difficult, They have a Girona team that is very motivated and that is difficult to stop such a team that is so hooked on victories.

Because now things can be very different when trying to make a team that is much more favorite by everyone, it is strange that the team that is not on par is Barcelona , I think that, as I have Said on several occasions, it is the time that Xavi I already left the team , I think he can't do more from there, he is settling into that position just like Ten Hag in the MU , where his teams are going backwards instead of advancing.

This should be a match that Barcelona can use to start their team's revival because in terms of quality Almeria is the team that is worst off this season because the Almeria team has not been able to win a single match until week 17, they were only able to collect 5 points from 5 results. the series they got.
I think Barcelona will have no trouble in the match against Almeria, especially since Barcelona will be playing at home.
And Barcelona really needs a win in order to continue to close the points gap from Real Madrid and Girona, so I will bet big on Barcelona in this match.

It should be like that, Barcelona has no reason to perform badly and even  have to lose points in this match. Almeria may not be a worthy opponent, but then again on the other hand Almeria is capable of being a surprise team  against big clubs. Motivation sometimes  plays a more important role because for Almeria if they are able  to win or hold a draw with a club as big as Barcelona their existence will definitely be taken into account. OK, let's look at the depth of Xavi current Squad which is losing confidence  but they are also hungry to know that  fighting Almeria  is about maintaining their reputation. So it would be a shame in this  match that Barcelona could not achieve a landslide victory.

Let's hope barcelona to miss another three points again. This can be a good thing to told xavi if his team was performing so badly. Anyone was willing to see barcelona to win against almeria but i hope almeria will give us a surprise like getting draw against barcelona.
barcelona may be playing offensively against it and it can also become an opportunity for almeria to play fully defensive strategy against it. In fact, the parking bus strategy has always become the key factor to beat barcelona.
Almeria can use it as the main weapon for the upcoming game soon. Let's see how good barcelona in maintaining its game play against the worst club in the league.

The team playing against Barcelona tomorrow is a very weak team so if Barcelona lose this match it will be a shame for them because this match will not be very difficult for them to win. Xavi was a very good player for barcelona his poor performance made barcelona fall behind but atleast i think barcelona can win this match and not miss 3 points. And if they win this match, they will equal points with Atlético Madrid. Because they are now only 3 points behind Atlético Madrid. Hope they don't miss this opportunity

No one thought before that Girona would be seen at the top of the La Liga standings and even now they are at the top of the standings, initially many people thought it was luck for Girona but gradually they proved that their position and what they achieved was not just because of luck. However, the Girona team's performance has been really strong this season.

Before closing this half of the season, Girona will face 2 fierce matches against Betis and Atletico Madrid. Indeed, Girona still has a chance to win, but it will not be easy, Betis and Atletico are 2 top teams who also have strong strengths this season.

They have found clubs below the first ten quite easygoing and able to manuever, I want to see how they go with the rest of the clubs above. Real Betis would be tomorrow and Atletico Madrid would definitely be next year fixture. A win or draw would be great against these both clubs, I know they won't be losing the game.

Their progress, growth and development has literally made everyone perplexed, I really want to see them winning the tittle or at least finish in amongst the first four clubs hwre in La Liga.
Pep Guardiola's brother should also have influence on the group since he is club president.

Girona, having played the same amount of matches that all the top teams in La Liga have played, is still able to lead the table by two points compared to the second position team which is Real Madrid. That is obviously surprising for a lot of people including me. I never thought that Girona was going to lead the La Liga title. But that has happened and I think we have to give them credit for that. It is not easy for a team like them to lead La Liga when almost every year the table is dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Barcelona could finally sigh some relief with an easy fixture coming their way against Almeria, who are at the bottom of the league, leaking goals. Almeria have conceded 39 goals in just 17 games. Barcelona havn't won a match in their last 3 and would be looking to get one tonight. The attackers and defenders could use this fixture to build confidence and score goals while keeping cleansheet.

Barcelona will win the match easily because Almeria has not won a match out of the 17 matches played by Almeria. This is the worst club achievement in La Liga, it is unimaginable if Almeria is able to win tonight's match, of course it will be their first victory over Bacelona, but it looks like Bacelona won't. want to experience another defeat after getting bad results in their last three matches, because if Barcelona wins this match then Barcelona will move up to third place in the standings, displacing Atlético Madrid and closing their gap with Girona and Real Madrid.

Barcelona must be able to win in today's match because currently Barcelona is aiming for the top three positions in the standings which have often been hindered by Atletico Madrid. And because yesterday's Atletico Madrid match ended in a draw at home. Of course this will be quite profitable for Barcelona today where Barcelona can try to score more goals in order to get into the top three positions in the standings so that they can continue to be safe in the UCL zone until the end of the season.

Barcelona also drew in their previous match, and that is not so good for them in their efforts to catch up on the points gap with Girona and Madrid which is now getting further away.
facing a team that is at the bottom of the standings at the moment, I think there is no choice but to win big for Barcelona. I hope they won't disappoint. This will probably be the last official match of the year before the New Year holidays. and all teams must prepare themselves for the competition which will make their match schedule even more busy. especially those who managed to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League. because the Copa Del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup will also take place.
