La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Lannakosa]

This season as Girona and Real Madrid have a great rivalry going on in the points table and their points are equal. Accordingly, we can say for sure that Barcelona will never be able to compete with these two teams in the position they are currently in. Barcelona are still 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid, maybe they will have to fight hard to collect these points which we think is not very possible. That's why it would be better to give up Barcelona's La Liga title dreams this season as the two teams are currently locked in a rivalry on the points table. Furthermore, Athletic Club and Athletic Madrid are currently level on points and will definitely try to overtake Barcelona in the next match. Accordingly, it is better for Barcelona not to dream of winning the title this season, instead they should focus on next season and it is most important to concentrate on qualifying for the Champions League.

Seven points is a lot, closing such a distance to Real seems very difficult, perhaps it can be done with Girona if their game worsens and they start losing points, but in my opinion, despite the skepticism towards them, they continue to pursue Real.

I like Barcelona, but Real looks too strong this season and it will be very difficult to compete with such a team. As soon as Girona starts to lose points, Real will take the lead, I assume that this is exactly what will happen.

And I doubt that Bilbao will be able to maintain a place above Atletico for a long time, so far they have equal points, but Atletico will definitely want to regain fourth place, the Champions League is very important for them.

[Getmon]

If Barcelona don't get new players in the winter transfer window who can help the team, then of course they don't have much chance of winning the Primera... But still there are 19 games left until the end of the season, and seven points is not very much, although I think that Real will win the title this season... But it will be a big surprise if Girona do it...

Again, here we are talking about possibilities and indeed everyone is still hoping for a surprise despite the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona so far in La Liga. I would welcome it with joy if it were Girona who won the title and for me that was a difference that came suddenly without any prior notice. However, if the champions are Real Madrid or Barcelona, it might be very boring for us to watch and it is a pleasure that the fans have every season.

Girona needs to maintain their existing performance, especially since they are not even a point away from Real Madrid and only lost on goal difference. One Real Madrid defeat would mean a lot for Girona and when they can be an unbeaten team until the end of the season, then it is clear that we will have a new winner.

In Barcelona, the existing monetary issues are not totally settled, and this puts a boundary on the options of the club. I do not have any idea how long the monetary issue will be settled. How long the club will endure? Regardless, it has a strong squad, but they will struggle with winning the La Liga and contending at the Champions League.

But I am seeing an open door for different clubs to move forward. Girona is at the top of the table this season and is certainly standing out with a great start to the year, winning its match over Atletico Madrid. Anyhow, it is still in the middle of the season and there are many matches left.

[Solokan]

Xavi's job is really difficult this season. In the La Liga they need to fight not only Real Madrid but also Girona for the title. How successful are they about that? Not great honestly. They need to win more games consecutively to prevent the gap from getting bigger at least. Because neither Girona nor Real Madrid lose points easily these days.

It is a shame that Barcelona don't have a stronger team play compared to Girona. There is a big quality gap when it comes to players but we can't see Barcelona showing this clearly. Xavi wouldn't get sacked this season probably but he would be expected to improve to be able stay here a couple of more years.  

Since Real Madrid and Girona have the same number of points in the league, I think it would be best for Barcelona to give up on winning the league title this season. With this point differences, I don't think Barcelona can compete with these two teams at this point, Barcelona should be concentrating on how to qualify to the next champions league, as Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club want to overtake them.

Yes, Xavi's task is indeed difficult at the moment because competing with Girona and Real Madrid is certainly not an easy matter, because currently the performance of Girona and Real Madrid is of course very good so of course this will be a challenge for Xavi to bring Barcelona to become champions again this season. Michel will definitely give his best performance to make Girona champions, of course Carlo Ancelotti will definitely not remain silent. I am sure Carlo Ancelotti will make Real Madrid continue to stay in first place.

but I'm sure that Xavi still has hope to make Barcelona victorious because the match is certainly not over yet and I think the 7 point difference with Girona and Real Madrid is certainly very heavy but of course the hope for Barcelona to become champions this season I think is still wide open and of course we won't know what will happen in the next match with Girona and Madrid because sometimes the result of the match is always difficult to predict. Yes, of course we will see whether Xavi can make Barcelona's performance even better or not.

I think that even though Barcelona is competing with Girona and Real Madrid, I don't think giving up is the best solution for Barcelona because Girona and Real Madrid could lose in the next match and of course it is still ongoing and there is still time for Barcelona to try to win a trophy this season and improve their quality. .

[tusandii]

Real Madrid are big guns in Europe and they’re also great and top when it comes to their league. It’s quite surprising how they’ve managed to still remain top and unbeaten without having a striker. It shows how good Ancelloti is in managing this boys, he really helped in bringing out their best this currently and currently they're performing beyond expectations,  Madrid would go far in all competitions this season.

 That’s a quality of a good team headed by a quality coach and that makes them a threat both in Europe and in the Spanish League. Don Carlo knows how best to rotate this team and get the best from all the players. For their Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday, I’ll be giving Real Madrid the upper hands against City Rivals, Athletico Madrid. Because ReAl is better in almost everything and Althletico isn’t really much of a match to them.

I looked at the line-up against and I was really surprised by the players Ancelotti chose for that match. This means that they don't field several goal-scoring players but they are able to win the match. Arandina is not a top club but I think Don Carlo is quite smart in setting strategy and rotating players. But still without a pure striker but being able to dominate the league really makes me appreciate what Ancelotti is doing. Although I have doubts about the Champions League because we know that the level of matches there is much more competitive.

Against Arandina yesterday it shouldn't be a problem for Don Carlo, that's why he rotated his second line of players & several Castilla players.
However, this match will be different, because what they are facing are city rivals Atletico Madrid. We know that the tension in the second match is always high. Don Carlo must be smart in rotating players because if not, they will lose several more key players.
Moreover, the current CB position is very worrying because there are only Nacho and Rudiger who really have experience, the rest are filled by the Castilla academy. But in this match of course I will favor Real Madrid to win, no matter what the score is.

Real Madrid played better than expected against Arandina. Most of his players tried to do their best on the field as young people. They could only score 3 goals in the match, I expected them to score more goals. The surprise in the King's Cup matches played yesterday was that Salamanca eliminated Villarreal via penalties. I have to say I'm really surprised by this.

Yes, I also admit that Real Madrid is capable of performing very well, but Madrid should be able to score more while the opponents they face are only small clubs from the division.
Actually, the next tough journey after this match is when they compete against Atletico Madrid, which is known for having a fairly tight defense and I think in that match Real Madrid will face an equal opponent.
In fact, there are still many more challenges that Real Madrid have to overcome, even though they will face Atletico Madrid and can win, but then they have to compete against other clubs who are stronger but are in other competitions and I am very sure that Real Madrid this time is very enthusiastic about getting the title in any competition to get the treble winner title because after long time Real Madrid has not been able to get the treble winner.
Currently Ancelotti is developing good strategy to win 3 titles in different competitions and hopefully even though he can't get pure striker, I'm sure Ancelotti can provide the best strategy.

Of course Barca have problems this season and they probably won't win in the Primera... But I have no doubts about them having a Champions League spot next season... Right now they are not far behind Real Madrid and Girona and I'm sure they will play no worse than they did in the first half of the season...

Girona has got really good potential with the la Liga , before now I wasn't confident about them regardless of the fact that they were at the top of the table earlier but after they won Atletico recently they some of my doubts began to clear to the fact that they have won elite team aswell as they have been winning smaller teams.

Girona will end up securing a good spot on the top four if they are unable to win the league trophy by the end of the league this season, Barcelona has got a good squad currently and the fact that their finance isn't allowing them add more players to the squad shouldn't really be a problem because bif they have got a good tactical approach alongside their current squad they will be able to do so well both in the UCL and in the la Liga but then xavi seem not to have figured out a good tactics that fits the team well enough to be able to get them to winning or getting to the top of the standing.

[Warkop]

With this point differences, I don't think Barcelona can compete with these two teams at this point, Barcelona should be concentrating on how to qualify to the next champions league, as Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club want to overtake them.

In these two competitions Barcelona's chances are equally slim, in Laliga because they are seven points behind and with the conditions of Real Madrid and Girona, which are quite stable in appearance, it can be said that it is impossible for Barcelona to take over the top of the standings, because it means that Real Madrid and Girona must lose at least eight points with Barcelona continuing to perform well by getting three points in all the remaining matches, and this is quite a difficult thing because during the last match against Las Palmas they almost got a draw and finally won after Las Palmas got a red card and Gundogan managed to score through the penalty spot.
Moreover, the champions league where the competition is with strong teams from different leagues and can get to the semifinals is already a pretty good achievement for Barcelona but it's not an easy thing because the opponent will be even harder when it enters the quarterfinals.

If Barcelona don't get new players in the winter transfer window who can help the team, then of course they don't have much chance of winning the Primera... But still there are 19 games left until the end of the season, and seven points is not very much, although I think that Real will win the title this season... But it will be a big surprise if Girona do it...

In my opinion, Barcelona will definitely bring in new players in the transfer market this winter, but their spending on players is limited and they are looking for very affordable prices because Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis which has a big impact on this. It is indeed very difficult for Barcelona to win the La Liga title this season, but if they can take advantage of this winter transfer moment to find players who really occupy the positions they need and change their playing strategy patterns and achieve victory in the next match. . I am sure that Barcelona will definitely be able to overtake this ranking position, although it is unlikely that they will be able to compete with Real Mandrid and Girona. Real Madrid can be certain to be champions, it is reported that they will bring in Kylian Mbappé in the winter transfer market this time, this will make Real Madrid's attack line even more capable of putting pressure on their opponents. If only Girona could bring in new, more qualified players to sharpen their attacking power. That way, Girona will be better prepared to face Real Madrid later to win the Laliga title this season.

[shinratensei_]

Barcelona is in the situation in which they should sell their defender. Eric García had an amazing performance in Girona and he is going to return to Barcelona for the next season. Obviously, Barcelona wants to save a spot for this player, Chadi Riad the player of Betis will also join Barcelona soon and now it seems Barcelona is about to put Andreas Christensen for sale.
The Danish defender of Barcelona, Andreas Christensen should leave and let Barcelona have fewer defenders.

Christensen may be going back to the EPL again. Barcelona needs to sell him caused by there was a lucrative offer came from the other club. Keeping him for long term will be a disaster for barcelona caused by the club really needs money atm.

Christensen has a very high release clause under barcelona but manchester united reportedly interesting to sign him as a replacement for varane which is going to leave as free agent very soon. He has 500 millions release clause which was very big.
I think manchester united shall try to negotiate with the blaugrana to decrease his release clause. Since that money will be so big to help barcelona to cover all of its cost to buy the new player and why not?

This is going to be another opportunity for barcelona to sell a player for the maximum price he can reached it. Manchester united will be scammed again if the club will be sending official bid for christensen.
Will ten hag repeat the old story like hojlund and onana? It will be a disaster if manchester united will be scammed once again. Im sure that the fans will be urging the management to kick ten hag.

[KTChampions]

I fail to see why we should hold Xavi accountable for every Barcelona game because he always uses the players that are supposed to be playing. Yes, we all know that Barcelona is a formidable team in La Liga, and we hope that they will always remain that way, but we also need to keep in mind that we can't always count on the team to perform well. Real Madrid did not win the league title last season, but they did not blame the coach because they understood that a team should not always be winning a match. Barcelona, on the other hand, won the Liga last season despite their lacklustre performance in the Champions League.
~

Despite the title last year, Xavi had two years of failure in European competition, plus, taking into account their last game, Barcelona set a historical anti-record - 20 games without a win with a difference of more than one goal. This has never happened in history (and Barcelona has had very difficult times in different periods). Episodes like this look like systemic problems, right? Another question is how much of Xavi’s share of blame is here personally, but I think that there is definitely some - the club does not look like a club that achieves more than it deserves, rather the opposite.

[wakier]

Xavi's job is really difficult this season. In the La Liga they need to fight not only Real Madrid but also Girona for the title. How successful are they about that? Not great honestly. They need to win more games consecutively to prevent the gap from getting bigger at least. Because neither Girona nor Real Madrid lose points easily these days.

It is a shame that Barcelona don't have a stronger team play compared to Girona. There is a big quality gap when it comes to players but we can't see Barcelona showing this clearly. Xavi wouldn't get sacked this season probably but he would be expected to improve to be able stay here a couple of more years.  

Since Real Madrid and Girona have the same number of points in the league, I think it would be best for Barcelona to give up on winning the league title this season. With this point differences, I don't think Barcelona can compete with these two teams at this point, Barcelona should be concentrating on how to qualify to the next champions league, as Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club want to overtake them.

This season as Girona and Real Madrid have a great rivalry going on in the points table and their points are equal. Accordingly, we can say for sure that Barcelona will never be able to compete with these two teams in the position they are currently in. Barcelona are still 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid, maybe they will have to fight hard to collect these points which we think is not very possible.

Accordingly, it is better for Barcelona not to dream of winning the title this season, instead they should focus on next season and it is most important to concentrate on qualifying for the Champions League.

It is true that Barcelona is already quite far behind Girona and Real Madrid, but Xavi will not remain silent when he sees his team experiencing conditions like this, he will definitely try and fight hard to collected points even if he is limping. Barcelona still has littles hoped of fighting for 2nd place if Girona is not able to survive until the end of this season because I believe Barcelona is still quite capable of staying in a better position and will not let Bilbao and Atletico Madrid occupy 3rd placed, because it will get making it difficulty for him to catch up to the top 2 team's.

Girona are not going to put in pressure to bringing in any new signings in the January transfer window again because they already have a squad that is doing so well,and wont be needing any player to change their strategy.Real madrid might bring in Mbape,but that is not going to make them win the league, although,i know he is a very sharp attacker that will help Bellingham in getting some important goals for Madrid,but i still think Girona has all it takes to win the league this season.Barcelona will confortably sit at third position on the table,but,and if they should sit and remain there without being pressured out there by Athletico,they must go into the market and get like two or three major signings that will boost their squad.

[Justbillywitt]

The fact that a lower division side can score Barcelona not just one goal but multiple goals says alot about the team, Barcelona are very gullible right now and even in their last champions league match a lower side won them.
I don't know if the board of directors at Barcelona are experimenting or don't have any clue on what to do because that would explain why Xavi is still Barcelona's head coach.

I fail to see why we should hold Xavi accountable for every Barcelona game because he always uses the players that are supposed to be playing. Yes, we all know that Barcelona is a formidable team in La Liga, and we hope that they will always remain that way, but we also need to keep in mind that we can't always count on the team to perform well. Real Madrid did not win the league title last season, but they did not blame the coach because they understood that a team should not always be winning a match. Barcelona, on the other hand, won the Liga last season despite their lacklustre performance in the Champions League.

Using Girona as an example, were you able to witness a performance like this during the previous season? Since when did Girona last win a trophy? It's been a while. After they finally calmed down and made sure everything went according to plan, they started playing well. I think Barcelona will perform well, and I also think Xavi can lead the team to as many trophies as they would like.

I agree with you, I don't see why Xavi is to be blamed for what Barcelona are going through right now. There is no way that they Barcelona will be winning the league every season. If they are not winning the games now, I think the team is just in a transition and will do better next season if they buy the right players. For me Xavi has done well as a coach.

[Volgastallion]

Yeah in teams like Girona when youa re doing so good with this players in some cases is not so good to bting new players and disbalance the team, you only have to buy a player in a position where you know you only have 1 player for that position and in case of a injuty put the new one.

The coach is fully responsible for the decline in the team's performance. Last season Barcelona performed extraordinary by winning the La Liga trophy, while this season Barcelona's performance has experienced a very significant decline compared to last season. The coach's dismissal occurred due to the team's increasingly poor performance. Tuchel has experienced the situation when Chelsea is unable to maintain its best performance. He is the one who is being blamed for the team's poor performance.
It's true, it's impossible for Barcelona to win trophies every season, at least he must be able to make Barcelona compete with Real Madrid in the title race.

Barcelona's position is hard to explain.

The club needs money to pay the debt but it is also in the needs to recruit the new talents to the club. So, it's hard to tell which thing that will be prioritized by xavi. he has received many blames due to the horrific performance of barcelona.
He may receive more soon. barcelona has lost its standard and it's performing even worse than before. Barcelona have an abundance for a certain level of midfielders. The main problem this club has only lewandowski as its striker which was very disappointed to see that.
Barcelona could do so much more but the debt has prvented it to do that. This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out but im still questioning the solutions from xavi regarding this problem. It's going to be a rocky road for xavi to sorted it all out from the club.
So i thought overall barcelona's performance was really poor even when it was facing some weak clubs as its opponents. This is a setback for barcelona caused by the fans were expecting a lot from barcelona but barcelona can't bring it on.

[Doell]

Yeah in teams like Girona when youa re doing so good with this players in some cases is not so good to bting new players and disbalance the team, you only have to buy a player in a position where you know you only have 1 player for that position and in case of a injuty put the new one.

I think I understand what you say, indeed the performance of the Girona squad is already very good, and it is worried new player will not be able to adapt optimally. If Girona want to buy new players, Girona should buy one or two to add depth their squad, because may will be help at least as a replacement if a core player is injured. Considering in the rest of this season situation might heat up, the Girona manager must be able to make very a good plans.

I agree, adding only the players necessary to add depth to the squad by buying one or two new players could be a wise move.
because when buying new players it is also important to consider aspects of team integration so that the adaptation of new players runs smoothly. Good communication between managers, players and coaching staff will help create a positive atmosphere in a team that has been created well,
Hopefully Girona management can make the right decisions and succeed in implementing a mature strategy to achieve success in the remainder of this season and become a challenger for the LaLiga title.

Another question is how much of Xavi’s share of blame is here personally, but I think that there is definitely some - the club does not look like a club that achieves more than it deserves, rather the opposite.

Barcelona today is not the same Barcelona as its glory days, but what is unique is that Barcelona can still win titles even if they only get them in domestic competitions. Real Madrid barely won anything last season even though they had many experienced players and big stars in their squad, it was also much worse than Barcelona who were facing bad financial problems.

It's natural for Barcelona to fail in European competitions because they don't have the worth it resources to beat their tough opponents. They are a team with several loan players, they also maximize young players from the academy to fight together and win something. Barcelona is a great team, they can do it when they are in a complicated problem.

[Roseline492]

In my opinion, Barcelona will definitely bring in new players in the transfer market this winter, but their spending on players is limited and they are looking for very affordable prices because Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis which has a big impact on this.

Yeah that could be true but however is still going to be a serious challenge for Barcelona because if they are not financially enough to buy a good quality player and decided to use the little they have to buy other smaller players, perhaps there poor performance will still remain the same so is better they sign one good quality player than buying three inexperienced player that cannot be able to help the club and improve there performance, so there management needs to really settle down to think things through in other to use the little resources they have wisely because the current situation of Barcelona cannot be change by some inexperienced players, however what they need right now is a game changer, a player who can deliver.

Absolutely not. Real won the Copa del Rey + they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. The mere fact that they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League outweighs all the achievements (Super Cup + La Liga) of Barcelona. Fair or not, from a business point of view, the Champions League is more important than the national championship because it gives more money. Moreover, the fact that Real lost the title last year was quite natural given the restructuring they made.
