La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[marcous]

You have to look for more reasons why Real Madrid can win the title than any other rival team this season. If only because Real Madrid currently leads the standings, then Girona could also lead it in the next match. In fact, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will always be able to win all the games until the end of the season, so anything is possible.

For the first few weeks most people thought Girona was there by pure luck but time showed us that they deserve this place. It's not an easy thing for clubs outside of big 3 to run the leadership so long. Girona showed with their performance in the last Atletico Madrid match that they can win even against the best teams. They can come back even when they lose momentum, I think this is very important. I don't know if they will become champions, but now everyone needs to see them as a serious candidate.

All possibilities are still quite open to happening and Girona is now a serious challenger in the hunt for the La Liga trophy. I think now no one doubts Girona strength, all La Liga clubs must now take Michel squad into account and respect it. Of course, we are still curious to what extent Girona will be able to pressure Madrid at the top of the standings.

Barcelona and ATM still have the opportunity to reduce the point difference, but overtaking Madrid and Girona position is difficult. I predict Ancelotti and Michel will be able to stabilize their performance until the end of the season, but it is still too early to guess who will be the champion.

However, now that ATM has been knocked out of the top four by Bilbao, we can imagine how tough the challenges ahead will be when teams that have matches in European competitions maintain their respective positions in the standings. Girona and Bilbao are lucky in this case, Madrid, Barcelona and ATM should feel threatened even though they have status as elite teams.

Girona is still the best in the LA Liga thus far with their level of control, confidence and coordination. At this point, I must give all hails to their ever-present and forward manager Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz. And all the players who have remained very active and steadfast to the effort of taking Girona to the top of the LA Liga titles. The commitment have been a vehemently interesting one.

They are a combination of experienced young and old players. Many old players from big clubs are thrown away. Munoz made a great combination and succeeded in generating fighting spirit. Girona players don't have many star players, but the mentality of fighting, fighting, coordination between players is really good. I don't believe they are champions yet, but right now they have a big chance.

I was checking the odds for the game Elche vs. Girona and I was surprised that they actually had pretty high odds for Girona when the game started. It was more than 2.0. But now I see why that was the case. Elche isn't really that much weaker than Girona, but I wonder whether they have lots of players rotated out or not. I am not that familiar with their first eleven players in La Liga, but this game is closer than it should be I think and it is still the Copa del Rey, which I think Girona would not take lightly.

Girona proved their mettle with wins over Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. And this team cannot be underestimated in any way now. Girona is now a worthy contender for the title. They are performing very well. And the Girona players are able to perform consistently well.

Real Madrid and Girona are now level on points. If Real Madrid drop a point in a match, they will also lose the top spot in the table. So Madrid will have to play very carefully in every match. Otherwise Girona will once again occupy the top spot of the table.

Girona and Bilbao are lucky in this case, Madrid, Barcelona and ATM should feel threatened even though they have status as elite teams.

I don't still believe Bilbao will be able to maintain that position long enough because they are just goal difference ahead of ATM and I still see them lucky to have gotten to the fourth position at this time, I still believe they will be displaced by ATM and Barcelona possibly soon because they don't have the form to maintaining that position.

Girona is actually becoming a strong rival to Madrid on the table this season and I think they may end up maintain the second position as against ATM and Barcelona who happens to be the elite team who would possibly want to get that position. Barcelona this season may possibly end at the fourth position which ATM can still make it to the third but real Madrid still remains the favourite to winning the title by the end of the season, I'm really impressed by the competitive nature of the la Liga this season and not like before when it did circled around some elite team.

At least last season Sevilla was able to win the Europe League and ultimately qualify for the UCL. but the conditions at that time were different from now. Even they were unable to get out of it conditions that are quite bad are the only defeats encountered throughout the La Liga season. And it turned out to be just as bad. although sometimes things are really surprising. However, in this position, Sevilla has no choice but to survive and develop Sevilla in limited financial and team conditions.

So true, the limitation on its financial condition doesn't give the new coach a way to develop the club properly. Mendilibar could still buy the players but unlike him the new coach must be selling all of its players due to the unstable financial condition faced by sevilla.
The club has too many debt and this is greatly impacting the performance from the club. This is also the main reason sevilla goes down so hard to the bottom. I meant that if we shall be anticipating the comeback of sevilla but it's unlikely to happen in a short time.

Sometimes this is the sad thing that happens in the world of football. When a club experiences a financial crisis it will definitely have a big impact on that condition. A coach may only be able to plan how to optimize them for the future, but unfortunately often that plan fails because it doesn't match the budget provided by the club. and in the end it is the coach who really has to rack his brains to play and optimize the existing squad. whereas sometimes expectations from the club are still quite high with such bad conditions.

Actually, not only Sevilla, but several other clubs may also have experienced this. as experienced by Barcelona last season until in the end Xavi could really start to change these conditions for the better. However, at that time Barcelona really took quite a high risk with their financial problems still unresolved.

Girona have prove to people in this season to maintain a strong position in this season and, they are having the same points with the team that is seating in the first position in the la Liga league table and, they have what it takes to over take Real Madrid in their next game. It was a surprised to many fans the way Girona secured many goals to frustrated Atletico Madrid and send some message to other teams to get ready for their next games.

If they can continue display what they displayed in their home to beat Atletico Madrid 4:3 to achieved points, I guess they will win this trophy to break record and to become popular in the la Liga league competition.

They have also just won two goals to nil away from home again against Elche today during the Copa Del Ray Competition. They have indeed shown how consistent they can be. They'll now go home to also prepare for Almeria who I believe they'll also defeat at home come next up during the La Liga fixture.

Atletico Madrid also won and would want to give thanks to Memphis Depay who was there to also give them the lead with his double in the game. They played well after they finally lost to Girona at home.

Girona players don't have many star players, but the mentality of fighting, fighting, coordination between players is really good. I don't believe they are champions yet, but right now they have a big chance.

But unfortunately, because Girona is currently part of the City Football Group and based on the rules and rumors circulating, if Girona manages to finish in the top four then it is possible that Manchester City and Girona will not be allowed to play in the Champions League next season . But ya, I also don't know for sure how this problem will proceed, but if it is true, then it will certainly be a very unfortunate result for Girona, who have succeeded in being in the top four and are strong contenders in the race for the La Liga title this season with Real Madrid.

Because after all, I will remain confident that Girona will remain strong in the top four until the end of this season. Because ya, considering that at least Barcelona and Atletico are also experiencing trends that are not entirely good this season. Therefore, Girona will be able to maintain its position in the top four, of course it will also be a threat to Real Madrid this season in the race for the title.

@iBaba I would argue about this because Real Madrid still are the best in every aspect of the game because of their experienced players and the youngsters. But I must give it to Girona because of the fight that they are giving and keeping up with Real Madrid. Girona indeed got the fighting mentality but I don't think it will be enough for them to get the title putting Real Madrid behind. Sure they got the skills as well, but those won’t be enough.

[KTChampions]

Barcelona once again walked on the brink and I can’t say that their victory looks fair. The last time Barcelona won by two goals or more was in September (if all competitions are taken into account), that's more than 20 games ago! It's surprising that they are still contenders (even with small chances) for the title, and Xavi is still the head coach. In fact, Barcelona has ceased to be a “dangerous top team” at all, at the moment it is an ordinary club from the top of the standings.

Barcelona's victory continued to struggle at the end, I think this is the sharpness of the front line still blunt continues with a penalty prize can be said to be a bonus if not then the result can be a draw.

In fact I would say that Girona is more dangerous now than Barcelona even though the depth of their squad is full of talented players but cannot provide stunning results despite winning in dramatic fashion, I don't know what Xavi's situation is clear he will definitely be angry with his team's performance, but that is not expected by Xavi.

Barcelona is behind Real by as much as 7 points and for the race for the title this is a whole abyss, so yes, no matter how we look at the names, Girona is definitely more dangerous than Barcelona now. I have a hard time believing that Girona will go on par with Real until the very end, but I believe that now Girona is the favorite in the fight for second place.
By the way, I got the impression that everyone forgot about Lewandowski - they used to criticize him, now they simply ignore him. He only has 8 goals scored, which is terrible for a striker of his caliber. I don’t even know whether Barcelona will have time to sell him to Saudi Arabia in the summer, whether the sheikhs will be interested in him.

[Tony116]

The result did not surprise me. Athletic club is a team which is in the 5th position and doing very well constantly. Sevilla on the other hand, I don't know what happened to them. They can't seem to be doing anything at all. They are right around the relegation zone with 16 points. Who knows they might even get relegated this season. Who would say that they were the team who were in the top 4 just 2 seasons back? Last season they performed poorly as well and this season it is even worse.

But credits should be given where it is due. Athletic Club are now in the 4th position because Atletico Madrid lost that match against Girona. Athletic Club may even catch Barcelona if they can keep up since Barcelona is struggling.

-snip
I feel sorry for Sevilla, they used to be a very original and interesting club, which when it was coached by Emery won the europa league and always played at a good level. Perhaps there was a change of management or they did not guess with the coach, because the results of Sevilla are terrible.

Yes, I 100% agree with you. I remember when they used to be called the European League team because they used to win the Europa League every season under Unai Emery. As far as I know, due to the financial debts, they had to let many key players go this season and they could not sign good players. That is why they are suffering. Last season they suffered as well but this season it is worse.
As for Athletic Club, it looks to me that they are taking the place of Sevilla right now. Sevilla used to be the 4th team usually before their downfall. The Athletic Club’s management is very good as well.

And all the players who have remained very active and steadfast to the effort of taking Girona to the top of the LA Liga titles. The commitment have been a vehemently interesting one.

Girona is a great team, no one expects they will perform brilliantly. Although there is no star players, Girona could show their best game and they even compete for the title. But I don't think Girona is the best team in La Liga, Real Madrid should be a better team. You must know that Real Madrid could beat Girona in their first meeting. It simply showed that Real Madrid is still better than Girona. However, I can admit that Girona is one of the strong teams in La Liga this season.

Now I think Xavi should focus on the Copa del Rey as well in addition to the La Liga and Champions League. Because it looks like they have more chance in the Copa del Rey to become the champions. They couldn't become the champions here for 2 years as well though but if they work hard they can do it.

Although they have more chance to win Copa Del Rey, but I think Xavi will prioritize to win UCL. Xavi must target to win the title of the highest football competition. If they can win UCL title, it is no problem to miss the La Liga title because UCL title is more prestigious. But I believe Xavi will try to focus in all the competitions.

To be honest, I also think the same as you about Bilbao, but for now the situation is almost the same as our previous doubts about Girona. I mean we never expected Girona to rise from a mediocre team to a team challenging for the title this season, I think Bilbao also has the potential to add to the dynamics of competition in fighting for tickets to the UCL next season.

I agree that Madrid is more favorite than Girona in terms of trophy hunting, because we know their reputation for dominating La Liga for a long time. Meanwhile, Girona, although currently collecting the same number of points, we are not so sure that they can win it, regardless of the depth of the squad between the two.

But overall, we certainly agree that Girona presence in the top four of the standings is the most attractive attraction for La Liga fans. Now that many Girona players are being looked at by big european clubs, their management is getting additional work to maintain the integrity of their squad.

I believe Real Madrid will win the La Liga trophy this season because of how I see Real Madrid playing in the league and Champions League, I don't think Girona can compete with them because since the season started, only Real Madrid has defeated them, and even if they meet in the second leg, I believe they will still beat them, because real madrid players will be back from injury. Since Ancelotti renewed his contract with Real Madrid, I believe he will win more trophies with the club and is a very talented coach and he can do the same, if Real Madrid buys mbappe this season I don't think they will get any club that can compete with Real Madrid in any competition because they will be stronger, Barcelona has already made mistakes, I don't think they can compete with Girona and Real Madrid again, they can just try and end up in top 4 and qualify to champions league next season again.

You have to look for more reasons why Real Madrid can win the title than any other rival team this season. If only because Real Madrid currently leads the standings, then Girona could also lead it in the next match. In fact, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will always be able to win all the games until the end of the season, so anything is possible.

Additionally, don't ignore the chances of Barcelona, ​​​​Atletico Madrid and Girona collecting more points than REal Madrid in the second half of the season. Real Madrid have problems that are still unresolved, but so far they have been very lucky to end many matches with wins. 7 points doesn't mean much for Barcelona to close the gap on Real Madrid, but of course there is always pressure to do that.

I think the same as you to be honest, Girona are good indeed but I don't think it is enough to put them ahead till the end of the season. Girona have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so they definitely have good skills but these are not. They have the combination of young and good players in the team which is working very well for them. But I think the match that will decide the fate of La Liga is the match between them in February. Whoever wins this match will get the hold of the League. If this ends in a draw then I think Real Madrid will still win the league, to be honest.

Barcelona isn't too bad this season because they actually started the season well, they did played well at the beginning of the season and we're able to be amongst top four for a while before their decline which is now a a problem to them but I still feel it's just temporary and they will be able to get pass this before the season end but may not be able to defend the title.

Barcelona will do better if they use their younger players such as Felix , victor roque and yamal, this can be seen in their last match, they were not doing so well althrough the first half of the game but after the substitution of lewandoski and bringing in victor roque the difference became clear as the opposing keeper was kept in tension because the attack became better and was always breaking through their defense unlike when it was just lewandoski who wasn't seeming like a threat from Barcelona to them. If such substitution is made most often I'm sure the likes of lewamdoski will sit up and do even better when they see that there's a possible better replacement for them.

Barcelona performance this season is not very good because they are far behind Real Madrid as the top of the standings. Indeed, they are still in the circle of teams that will compete for the title this season and they can even catch up on the point difference if they are able to maintain a winning trend. So far I see that Barcelona has not been stable enough in their performance in Laliga, even when they beat Las Palmas they had to try with all their might and also awarded a penalty kick which was able to enable Barcelona to win in this match.

If compared with Real Madrid, of course Real Madrid's strength this season is stronger, even in the first El Clasico match this season where Real Madrid was able to beat Barcelona with a score of 2-1. Thus Barcelona needs some improvements in this January transfer window. Xavi emphasized that their finances are not healthy enough so they will have a little difficulty getting quality players in the January transfer market.

I don't know if this is the main reason as they were struggling really a lot last season with all the key players being part of the team. I know that they won the Europa League and whenever a team wins something, it is hard to argue against them because their trophy is the best answer to any criticism. But the truth also is that Sevilla was pretty bad in La Liga and for some inexplicable reason they won all of their games in the Europa League and were even dominating teams like Manchester United. Nobody knows why that was possible, but the season in La Liga now is a continuation of their bad performances from the last season.

So true, the limitation on its financial condition doesn't give the new coach a way to develop the club properly. Mendilibar could still buy the players but unlike him the new coach must be selling all of its players due to the unstable financial condition faced by sevilla.
The club has too many debt and this is greatly impacting the performance from the club. This is also the main reason sevilla goes down so hard to the bottom. I meant that if we shall be anticipating the comeback of sevilla but it's unlikely to happen in a short time.

Sometimes this is the sad thing that happens in the world of football. When a club experiences a financial crisis it will definitely have a big impact on that condition. A coach may only be able to plan how to optimize them for the future, but unfortunately often that plan fails because it doesn't match the budget provided by the club. and in the end it is the coach who really has to rack his brains to play and optimize the existing squad. whereas sometimes expectations from the club are still quite high with such bad conditions.

Actually, not only Sevilla, but several other clubs may also have experienced this. as experienced by Barcelona last season until in the end Xavi could really start to change these conditions for the better. However, at that time Barcelona really took quite a high risk with their financial problems still unresolved.

That's true, sometimes club officials still think further back in the sense that they still feel they are the favorite team, have high expectations to the team performance will be fine. I think Xavi is a great coach in this case, where he was able to stabilize Barcelona performance even though they were facing a financial crisis. Barcelona luck lies in the legacy of players it has, unlike Sevilla which had to let go of its core players in the transfer window last summer.

Barcelona can still maintain its reputation as a title challenger, even though it is 7 points behind Real Madrid, of course we never know what the future will bring. Meanwhile, Sevilla are experiencing terrible conditions who have to fight to avoid the degradation zone, but I hope Sevilla can stay in La Liga next season and not drop down to the Segunda Division.

I think the same as you to be honest, Girona are good indeed but I don't think it is enough to put them ahead till the end of the season. Girona have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so they definitely have good skills but these are not. They have the combination of young and good players in the team which is working very well for them. But I think the match that will decide the fate of La Liga is the match between them in February. Whoever wins this match will get the hold of the League. If this ends in a draw then I think Real Madrid will still win the league, to be honest.

Yeah almost all of us agree that Real Madrid has a greater chance of winning the title this season than Girona there are many reasons why Real Madrid is more favored but after all we cannot underestimate Girona they still have a chance even if only a few percent. I agree with you that the match in February can determine who is the most worthy to win the title and the match will be played at  Real Madrid home of course it is an advantage for Real Madrid, previously the two teams had played last September and Real Madrid won it. By the way, Real Madrid is playing the Copa Del Rey match today against the lower division team but until the 25th minute there were no goals, unfortunately I bet Real Madrid scored 4 goals in this match lol but Real Madrid seems to play a young squad including Arda Guler players who have just joined this season. This should be the right moment to prove their abilities as young players

[ShowOff]

Barcelona's victory continued to struggle at the end, I think this is the sharpness of the front line still blunt continues with a penalty prize can be said to be a bonus if not then the result can be a draw.

In fact I would say that Girona is more dangerous now than Barcelona even though the depth of their squad is full of talented players but cannot provide stunning results despite winning in dramatic fashion, I don't know what Xavi's situation is clear he will definitely be angry with his team's performance, but that is not expected by Xavi.

By the way, I got the impression that everyone forgot about Lewandowski - they used to criticize him, now they simply ignore him. He only has 8 goals scored, which is terrible for a striker of his caliber. I don’t even know whether Barcelona will have time to sell him to Saudi Arabia in the summer, whether the sheikhs will be interested in him.

I don't ignore Lewandowski and always respect him as the best center forward. Of course I am worried about his decline in form this season with Barcelona, ​​but it may soon change and improve in the second half of the season. After all Lewandowski could easily surpass anyone's goal tally this season when he finds himself back in the game, so there's no point in ignoring him now.

So far Lewandowski has made 17 appearances with 8 goals. He is the only oldest center forward to have scored 8 goals so far this season in La Liga, the rest are players younger than him such as Morata, Borja Mayoral, Antoine Griezmann, Ante Budimir, Artem Dovbyk and Gerard Moreno. I'm sure Lewandowski can still score at least 20 goals this season and compete to be La Liga's top scorer in two consecutive seasons. He could be sold next season as Barcelona have already acquired a new centre-forward, but that is a possibility that is nothing more than a rumour.

[redsun114]

The fact that Barcelona recovered and has been winning for some time is good, they won two in a row, and that is a good thing for them. However, there are 7 points between Barcelona and the top two, which means that it would be quite near impossible for them to end up getting a win. I am not saying that it is not going to be possible, all I am saying is that it is going to have some trouble for the season in the end.

I think finishing the season third is the only thing they should focus on right now, I do not think that they would do any better, unless Girona or Real suddenly starts losing a lot of games, which I do not see happening. So Barcelona could finish third, not great, but they could also focus on next season that way.
