La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Chilwell]

Girona should either win or draw tonight, losing is not an option tonight, I don't know about Real Madrid bit judging from how they played during the last game even with some key players absent, they will still have to make sure winning the same way they did last game happens tonight. So far, they're the best side in La Liga following up with the pace set by Girona.

Even draw it not good for them because if Real Madrid win, and I am much confidence that Real Madrid can win the match against Alavés even though they are the one hosting Real Madrid, if eventually real Madrid win the match they will have equal points with Girona then the goal difference will determine who will be on the top of table, and real Madrid have more goals than Girona with this Madrid will top the table and Girona will move down to second position.

Now, when it comes to Real Madrid and Alaves, many people believe that Real Madrid is much better, even if some of their important players are not playing. So, I don't really expect any big surprises in the game. Alaves is playing at home, but I don't think they'll beat Real Madrid. Sometimes in football, unexpected things happen, but in this case, I don't see Alaves causing a major upset. Let's watch the games and see how everything turns out!

Indeed, Real Madrid is a much superior team to Alaves. Even if a lot of people believe Alaves will defeat Real Madrid, this is only conjecture. It is not conceivable, in my opinion. It will be challenging for Alaves to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat Real Madrid despite the fact that Vinicius and Courtols are among their injured players; their performance is still being evaluated. However, let's have a look at what folks will happen since the first half has been kicked off about minutes ago

[ShowOff]

Finally Girona lost points. They had been winning for several matches, and in this match they took the lead with Dovbyk's penalty, but with Pezzella's goal in the last minutes, Real Betis saved 1 point at home and stole 2 points from Girona. Undoubtedly, Real Madrid fans were the happiest with this goal. Pezzella scored with a beautiful shot that was unexpected from a defender, and it was his first goal of the season. Real Betis maintains its top 7 targets. Girona was the upset side today. They thought they won the match. Such things happen in football. You shouldn't be comfortable with the fact that we won until the last whistle.

It's true, Girona felt disappointed in today's match because they failed to maintain their victory when the match ended. Girona have disappointed other teams like that before, so today Real Betis taught them how disappointed a team can be when they fail to get 3 points when the game is almost over. But I don't think this is a surprise, in fact I expect Girona to drop more points in many of the next games in the second half of the season.

In another match, Real Madrid could not score a goal in the first half in their away match against Alaves. Meanwhile, Alaves, who tried to score a goal, still failed until the first half ended. Alaves has good motivation to play better so as not to lose, but because the depth of Real Madrid's squad is better then Madrid's chances of winning will be good too. A potential draw remains possible, but it is a surprise and it will actually make Real Madrid more disappointed than Girona.

Even draw it not good for them because if Real Madrid win, and I am much confidence that Real Madrid can win the match against Alavés even though they are the one hosting Real Madrid, if eventually real Madrid win the match they will have equal points with Girona then the goal difference will determine who will be on the top of table, and real Madrid have more goals than Girona with this Madrid will top the table and Girona will move down to second position.

A draw will not help Real Madrid well enough in achieving the top position on the table as they desired to, the first half just ended a goalless draw and Real Madrid has been trying their best to making sure they are able to win this game, Bellingham is on the pitch tonight and I see that as enough hope for Real Madrid.

Alaves is trying so hard to maintain a goalless game so they will end up getting a point by the end of the match as it will be advantageous to them than it will be with Madrid, girona was able to draw their game tonight and the gap between Madrid and Girona current is such that if Madrid is able to win tonight, they will be able to stay a point ahead of Girona but a draw or a loss keeps rhsy behind Girona and of course I'm sure Madrid wouldn't want suvhas Thay currently are like the only sound team who can easily displace Girona from the top of the table.

Deportivo Alaves successfully have been able to keep Real Madrid from scoring in the first half, but I do not think that they will be able to stop a goal in the second half. If the Real Madrid players have forgotten what is at stake for them, their coach will surely remind them in the break. This is an opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up with Girona, after Barcelona managed to just get a slight victory over Almeria yesterday in a game where they did not play very well.

This is an opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up with Girona, after Barcelona managed to just get a slight victory over Almeria yesterday in a game where they did not play very well.

Based on my observations, Madrid's attack line may still have difficulty penetrating the opponent's defenders and what is clear is that the absence of Vinicius makes attacks less effective because it is difficult to take the initiative to attack. Still relying on attacks from the left and occasionally from the right. As for the middle it is not very reliable because the Alaves players use the midfield penalty box as a defensive wall.

I hope that the second half requires a little rotation of attacks where Modric and Kroos don't come forward enough to help the attacks. Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz are still having difficulty finding gaps to open up opportunities.

This match needs to be won because it is a good opportunity when Girona has been held to a draw by Real Betis. If Madrid succeeds in getting 3 points, the gap with Girona will only be 1 point. Meanwhile, on the other hand sharing points will certainly extend Girona  lead at the top of the standings.

There should have been a chance for a goal in the second half if you  look at the statistics of Madrid movements dominating the game with  two shots on target and it will continue to increase by using Valverde long distance  kick which could possibly be a goal. Bellingham occasionally dropped from his position at the back to help defend, as a result during the counter attack none of the Madrid players were  ready to receive the ball.

However, let's have a look at what folks will happen since the first half has been kicked off about minutes ago

The first 45 minutes have been played and it stand 0-0. Valverde has had two good chances and should have scored one goal. Real Madrid arent playing good yet, but I think that will come in the first 20 minutes of the second half. And Gonzalo Garcia will probably come on before Joselu today, the 19 year old has only played 2 games in La Liga so far, hopefully he get a few more minutes today and score a goal.

[Ndabagi01]

Betis - Girona was a balanced game in general. Girona started to accept the game in their half after getting ahead by 1-0. Betis tried to improve their attacks more in the second half and they got what they wanted in the last minutes finally. For once I thought Girona were really going to be victorious in this quite challenging away game.

In the end Real Madrid also got a 1-1 draw against Betis away recently. Girona also got the same result. If Real Madrid don't make big mistakes they should be able to beat Alaves easily. This must be enough to carry them to the top in the standings if I'm not wrong.

It is commendable that Girona is making an effort to win all of their remaining Laliga games, but it is not always easy when your team lacks experience, which is why I always cheer when they win. If they draw, I know it was not what they were hoping for, but it is not against a small team, as Betis is a big team and has won all five of their matches against Girona. This indicates that Girona is trying to secure a draw against a team that has been winning them for a long time.

Girona's success this season will earn them a spot in the Champions League. They could have collapsed by now if they weren't a decent club, but they have persevered throughout the season by putting in effort and remaining consistent.

Betis tried to improve their attacks more in the second half and they got what they wanted in the last minutes finally. For once I thought Girona were really going to be victorious in this quite challenging away game.

I previously thought that Girona would be able to beat Real Betis because previously they could also beat Barcelona. However, it turns out that in this match, Girona had to end in a draw against Real Betis with a score of 1 - 1. In fact, Girona is still on fire, but Betis is not an easy club to beat. Luckily the result was still a draw so at least Girona still got one point. but on the other hand, if Real Madrid wins this time, Real Madrid will again win first place in La Liga.

However, this is still uncertain because up to now the match between Real Madrid vs Alaves is still ongoing and the result is still a draw 0 - 0 without a single goal being scored. Even though Real Madrid really dominated the game, for some reason their attacks were not strong enough and they also didn't have many opportunities to attack again more effectively and accurately.

Omg, that's bad. Nacho just got a red card in the 54th minute and this will really be detrimental for Real Madrid because they can only play with 10 players.

Real Madrid will want to win this match since it is an opportunity for them to take the league lead after Girona draw 1-1 to Real Betis. Girona played very well but didn't get the chance to crack their defense, Real Betis played well and made Girona draw against them, they deserved to draw the match, and I believe Girona would have lost if they hadn't scored the penalty. Real Madrid have been performing well in the first half and need to overcome Alaves to top the league. Ancelotti must modify his tactics in the second half if he is to win the match, I predict Real Madrid will win tonight and top the table. Bellingham is on the field and will break the defense and score, and continue to lead the highest goal scoring in the league since I believe he will win the Golden Boot this season, because Lewandowski is not in good enough shape to compete with him.

Real Madrid may find it increasingly difficult to win the match against Alaves. They ended the first half without a goal and now Real Madrid will only continue the game with 10 players after the referee gave Nacho a red card. Alaves has the possibility to win points in this match, at least a draw makes sense to aim for even though a win would be more perfect.

Of course, this is not a pleasant situation for Real Madrid, but considering that this team is quite capable of handling pressure, I don't think Real Madrid will lose even if they play with 10 players. Now Bellingham is the spearhead who is expected to be able to bring many changes to the match, but Alaves has so far been able to prevent many of his actions.

[RockBell]

Girona has continued to maintain dominance in Spain laliga, the team has always showed a good outplay, always not giving up to be defeated by any side, the thought of many today is to see realbetis giving girona a good fight which happen but it not an easy game for the home side, girona open the frirst goal of this meeting visiting half of the match with a good performance, the visting team seem not to allowing any stone unturn, I must say I am impressed, I think the deserve this season league, the possession is been dominated by girona, this same team defeated barca with the look of things I think the result with Real Madrid won't be a different one.

Girona They are becoming more amazing than ever in La Liga and their play is also very exceptional and real Madrid drawing yesterday was one of the reasons Girona is already at the top now and leading them by about two points now and one of the qualities is that no matter the club they are playing against they will keep up with whatever strategy every club is coming with they are ever ready and their game with realbetis was quite some show and I know and suspected the gaffer, Girona defeating Barca was already known because of Barca is not sable. To me, the real challenge is now between Girona and Real Madrid. And La Liga doesn't have enough tough teams like the Premier League and even the Champions League.

They're already having difficulty winning with that red card from Nacho Fernandez. Winning would see th equal the points with Girona but it doesn't seem like that will eventually happen tonight.
Against the top clubs above tenth position, they have some difficulties playing but have won Barcelona though so that doesn't really counts.

With what I'm seeing, it'll be Girona at the top of the standing for the first half of the season, if they can get players to balance them up during the transfer window, then they can continue same way up ahead.

[Onyeeze]

This should be an easy victory for Real against Alaves , especially when h2h record is 9-1 for Real Madrid and I also expect them to win with at least 2 goals difference. There is also a possibility for a draw here but that should make Girona very happy and build more confidence inside that team.

If there is a draw for Real Madrid, it would be a great opportunity for Girona. Girona should have won the match with Real Betis, it was a very important match for the leadership. Real Madrid will not lose this match and will retain the leadership position minutes later. Girona has a tough opponent next week. Can we say that they have done well this far? Or is this journey not over yet? Frankly, I'm very curious.

The objective of Real Madrid in this match is to get draw because Real Madrid has gotten red card already by Nacho Fernandez so what they will be interested of is to play a defensive game so that Deportivo Alaves will not be able to take advantages of them with the shorten one player,because the previous matches of Deportivo Alaves they lose against Girona which the match ended 3:0 and they have lose almost three matches without wining in which without the red card by Real Madrid, Real Madrid would have defeated them, shall they still have more minutes to battle with their counterpart being Deportivo Alaves

Why would Real Madrid just settle for a draw, yet they have an opportunity to go to the top of the table

Well, just I was typing and Real Madrid score a goal... I guess it's going to end at that. Deportivo Alaves is really so weak. Even with 11vs 10 they could mount any serious attack against Real Madrid's back line. It looks like they were just playing for the draw.

Betis tried to improve their attacks more in the second half and they got what they wanted in the last minutes finally. For once I thought Girona were really going to be victorious in this quite challenging away game.

Girona couldn't keep up their form to top the table before the end of the first half of the season. I had a feeling that it was going to be a though game for Girona because Betis is a good team and they are at home. I knew Girona would score so I played them to have a goal, the odd was actually big and I was surprised why it that big.
Real Madrid had a dying minute winner against Alaves and now they're top of the La Liga going into the next year. It's going to be hard for Girona to get back on top because I feel Madrid, Atletico and Barcelona would be very serious next year and might occupy the top spots. At the same time, Girona doesn't look like a team that'll slow down so time will tell.

Lucky lucky lucky win for 10 man Real Madrid!!

Real Madrid win away at Deportivo La Coruna with 1 goal!! Scored by Luca Vacquez from a Toni Kroos corner in what was an uninspiring performance from the galactic is

Luckily for Real Madrid, they are able to get the maximum 3 points and reduce the points deficit from the top of the league table to just 2 points as Girona also drew 1-1 away at Real Betis

The La Liga title race is on!!!

[Slow death]

After Barcelona had difficulty winning, yesterday it was Girona and Real Madrid's turn to play and both teams also didn't do very well in this round despite Real Madrid getting a victory. First I will talk about Girona who played against Betis, who in the last 5 games has collected draws, meaning that any team that plays against Betis already expects a draw, and in this game it was no different, Girona scored the first goal thanks to the penalty and could even If we assumed that Girona were going to win the game since the game was already 2 minutes from the end, then there would be no surprise, until Betis conceded a goal in the 88th minute and with that the game ended in a draw. It was really sad for Girona, who had victory very close and lost points

while Girona was losing points, Real Madrid were playing against Alaves who are a very weak opponent, without a doubt they were seeing this game as being a very easy task and would get 3 points, but the minutes passed and the goals didn't come in. and in the 51st minute the real madrid player received a red card, meaning real madrid started to play with just 10 players on the field and with that the difficulty of scoring a goal became very difficult and when it was thought that the game would end in a draw, Real Madrid managed to score a goal that gave them victory. With this victory, Real Madrid now has the same points as Girona and is 7 points ahead of Barcelona. I highly doubt that Real Madrid won't be champions this season

[Queentoshi]

Lucky lucky lucky win for 10 man Real Madrid!!

Really lucky for Real Madrid because I had already ruled the game as a draw game seeing that it got into the extra time, and it was still goalless. Real Madrid won this game because of the champions spirit to try to win games anyhow they can even with ten men that they played with from early in the start of the second half to the end. I am reasoning that this would have been an easy game for Real Madrid to win, if not that they are being affected by the absence of some major players in their team.

[Leviathan.007]

Barcelona are winning and look to see out the game, but their overall play has not been convincing at all. Struggling against teams like Almeria who are sitting at the bottom of the table means they will find it very difficult to make it to the quarter finals against Napoli in the champions league.
Remains to be seen if the squad is boosted during the January transfer window.
- Jay -

It is a pity that Barcelona struggled to beat Almeria who has not won any of their matches in La Liga this season, and Almeria even scored 2 goals against Barcelona yesterday. If Barcelona continues like this they will not qualify for the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.

Barcelona performance is going poorly these days because they lost almost 3 matches and now they manage to win Almeria, which even lucky Barcelona, who was one of the best teams in the competition at the start of the season, are now performing poorly, which is disappointing to me. However, I think they should double up their performance in order to reach another stage in the competition; they should even qualify for the quarterfinal.
 
However, I’m not sure they will be able to win Napoli with their current performance because Napoli are stronger than Almeria, which means if they continue like this, they definitely won’t win Napoli because Napoli's performance cannot be compared to Almeria's, so therefore we should wait to see how Barcelona will play in their next match. I hope they do better than what they are doing now.

Maye people have started to blame Barcelona for the close performance they had against Almería while they were even close to losing points in this match against a team like Almería which could have put Xavi under too much pressure, but Sergi Roberto the player of Barcelona had epic performed and again he saved his team, Almería tried to take a draw in this match for two times but Sergi Roberto scored the winning goal for his team two times.
Sergi Roberto got injured in the game against Granada and now in this match, he can have a good performance against Almería.
