La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Renampun]

...
Yes, on paper Girona should be able to beat Almeria but what happened was very unpredictable because yes, Girona played very badly in this match. Because after all, based on the overall statistical record, the fact is that Girona also gets bad statistics overall. So yes, results like this are certainly very unexpected because after all, Almeria is the weakest team this season but the fact is Girona is playing badly too. Therefore, at least I also think it looks like Girona underestimated Almeria too much and thus, Girona got a bad result too in this match, which is really unfortunate..

Almeria is a team that is currently in 20th position, really unexpected results will appear.
Honestly, I didn't expect Girona to end up drawing with Almeria, even though at the start of the match Girona performed well but they couldn't maintain consistency. If we look at the match statistics, we will see how Girona and Almeria played with the same strength, but unfortunately, Girona's attackers were unable to get past Almeria's very strong midfielder.
It looks like Madrid will overtake Girona, they have been in second place for too long and this time is a good time for Madrid to be at the top of the standings again.

Right now I doubt if Barcelona would win any trophy this season, they played poorly against a team that has been their rival for a long time and the score line was very embarrassing, right now Napoli is not in a good form i stoll see them winning Barcelona.
The Barcelona team needs a complete revival, the whole defense needs to be changed, they are playing like complete amateur and real Madrid exposed them yesterday.
I had always thought that Barcelona were in bad form but I never knew it would get this bad and it's alarming.

Barcelona looks like Atletico Madrid or Real Sociedad right now, good teams but they fail to win anything, except maybe going to UEFA Champions League. Even Girona are doing better than them.. At least Real Madrid are competing Girona for the title but Barcelona are out of their form and unable to fit both of them.
Seven points difference aren't much and Barcelona could decrease it, they have to improve and resume winning again!

Yeah but Barca need to buy a new good players for certain position but I doubt the management will do that in this transfer window.
Barca needs to sell all of their underperformance high wages players before the next season.
Barca is still a strong team but they might be not able to win any trophy with the squad they had now.

Yes of a truth Barcelona needs to sign new players but do you think they have the needed resources to do that and refuse to do it? Barcelona in recent years have not been able to sign top quality players because of the club's current financial crises. It is because of the financial crises that players like Lionel Messi left the club as well as the main reason why Ousmane Dembele was sold out to Paris Saint Germaine. Xavi Hernandez have been doing his best to make sure he still keeps the team competitive despite his limited options during team selection.

Last season, they were able to win the Spanish La Liga with the help of Robert Lewandowski but hasn't been able to replicate their form of last season since the start of the current campaign. Hopefully, they're gonna improve their performances in coming weeks

I think Barcelona will have to wait until the end of this season to sign new players. It's hard to find good players right now. Each player is currently under contract with different clubs. Nowadays, to think about new players for Barcelona, ​​a lot of money is needed which Barcelona does not have at the moment. As you said, Barcelona have not been able to sign top quality players in recent years due to the club's current financial crisis. But many are not willing to accept these things. These things many people without trying to understand, are blaming Xavi and expressing their displeasure with a coach as skilled as Xavi.

Indeed, this match is embarrassing. Girona failed to get three points even against a bottom team. This draw will certainly make it easier for Real Madrid to win the La Liga title this season even though Real Madrid has not yet played its 20th match, but in my opinion Real Madrid will get full points, especially since they are full of confidence after beating Barcelona and winning the Spanish Cup.

The motivation was confusing although a point would do little for Almeria, and Girona would ultimately pay for their efforts. However, the Girona team had a good first half of the season. they managed to compete with big teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. But now I think Girona will start to weaken and my prediction is that they will end up in 3rd or 4th place at the end of the season.

A March that would be considerably easy for Girona, but what happen? They failed to handled an average team and put Almería were they belong. Recording 0-0 draw tie was not the plan and the expectations grown up from Gironistes was a straight win and now they have to settle for more dissapointing results. Girona next match is Rayo Vallecano and I think Girona will ensure they make up for their previous mistakes. Currently, Girona tops the table bur Real Madrid have an outstanding game to play. Girona will slightly swift away their golden chances of topping Real Madrid on the La Liga table this season because the signs are already there.

It is not impossible that Barcelona's next matches will be mixed up by other top clubs such as Atletico, Girona and Bilbao.
Because I see their defense line is really bad for a team as big as Barca. In the match against Madrid yesterday they failed to carry out the offside trap several times due to miscommunication.
They played too many academy players which ultimately paid a heavy price with their poor performance so far. Yes, maybe they are having difficulty buying new players because there are problems with their finances.
But at least there must be a senior CB who has a lot of experience to become a leader in Barca's defense. Currently they are missing CB figures like Puyol and Pique who are able to coordinate the back line very well.

[Minor Miner]

We have to admit that Almeria players played very well in this match. Almeria players dominated the match from the beginning of the match. And that's why Girona's players couldn't create many attacking opportunities and couldn't score a single goal. The players of Almeria played very well. Looking at Almeria's performance in this match, I don't think this team is at the bottom of the points table.

Girona team had a great performance against Atletico Madrid. But Girona's performances against Real Betis and Almeria were not good enough. Girona are likely to face relegation. Because this party is not strong enough. However, due to the good bonding between the players and the confidence of the players, they have consistently played well in every match. But if the players lose confidence, I think the performance of the team will decline.

I don't know what actually motivated Almeria to play that well while forcing Girona to draw. To be honest, that's the kind of performance Almeria should have in La Liga for them to survive for next season, but teams like this tend to be very poor against other weak teams. Almeria haven't won a single game in their last 20 games so far, so I really wonder if Girona were really bad in this game or were Almeria really impressive?

As a result of the draw, Girona will most likely be several points behind Real Madrid in the standings. Real Madrid, who just won the Spanish Super Cup, seems to be responding positively to Girona's draw by winning their next match against Almeria. Of course Almeria is nothing for Real Madrid, they will only be a barn goal for players like Rodrygo, Vinicius and Bellingham.

I would say Almeria played very well and that's why Girona's players failed to perform well. Although Girona are a strong team, they probably didn't expect Almeria's players to perform so well. Perhaps Girona's players didn't do their homework properly. If Almeria want to climb out of the relegation zone, they will need to continue this form of performance. Despite being the last team in the table, this team still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone.

Girona is still 1 point ahead of Madrid. However, if Real Madrid can get 3 points in their next match against Almeria, then Madrid will go two points ahead of Girona. Madrid are unlikely to drop points against Almeria. Madrid is a very experienced team. They usually don't drop points against weaker teams.

Xavi has repeatedly apologized to fans for the results obtained in the Spanish Super Cup final, Barcelona is indeed in a worrying situation. Xavi has taken a big risk when integrating too many young players into the team, in fact Xavi does not have many choices to recruit more experienced players because of the financial crisis. I think Xavi has worked hard to bring his team to success, and I have to say that Madrid has all the attributes and resources needed to win trophies.

The defense line is Xavi homework going forward, conceding 4 goals is a bad defeat in a match, and that is proof that Xavi must immediately find a solution in this sector. If they continue to be in an unstable situation, it is no surprise that Barcelona ended the season without winning a trophy, the financial crisis has become an extraordinary obstacle and Xavi cannot be blamed for Barcelona failure yesterday. I think the best opportunity that Barcelona still has at the moment is the Copa del Rey, Xavi will certainly try his best there.

Xavi deserves to feel guilty for the team's unsatisfactory performance in the El Clasico match in the Spanish Super Cup final. All his plans failed and he failed to retain the throne after last season winning it from Real Madrid. But I think this makes sense because Real Madrid is more favored because of squad depth and team performance, on the other hand, Barcelona is too weak in several lines.

The Barcelona squad looked weak in yesterday's El Clasico match, because Raphinha and Joao Cancelo, who have better aggressive power, had to suffer injuries ahead of the final match. Barcelona's midfield is weak, as is their defense. Meanwhile Real Madrid have many options and they have spent a lot of money in the transfer market to win the title they didn't win last season.

It would be a different story if in 90 minutes the result was a draw and many different analyzes would emerge too. Barcelona really couldn't do much when Vinicus Jr, who was too quick, put Real Madrid ahead when the game was less than 10 minutes into the game.
Barcelona's game is easy for Real Madrid players to read, so it's natural to say that Xavi deserves to feel guilty for Barcelona's defeat.
Xavi has a big task to evaluate Barcelona's game because the defeat that Barcelona received in the final match was unexpected (score).

Yes it is a bit embarrassing. Almeria really dominated the match, ideally they should win the match. Almeria made 20 shots, Girona only made 5 shots. People must be surprised to see Almeria plays very offensively. In this match, it seems Almeria to play as a stronger team although they are in the relegation zone. Meanwhile Girona who is in the top of La Liga standings, looks like a weak team. I don't know what makes Girona plays very badly.

However, Girona defense is quite strong, there is no goals in this match. So, Girona still can get 1 point from this match. I still can appreciate Girona although many people must feel unsatisfied with Girona. Many people know Girona beat Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. It is very unsatisfying to see Girona to get a draw against the weakest team in La Liga.

[Roseline492]

Girona lost points away to Almeria.It's a pity for them that they lost points in this important match on their way to the championship.Their opponents are in the relegation zone and they are one of the teams that will most likely be relegated this

If Girona had win the match it would have helped them a lot because they would have gotten 52 points instead of the 49 points they are currently having, and now Real Madrid has almost the same points as Girona, well the fact is that the only way Girona can beat real Madrid with a lot of points different is only if they are more consistent on there wining, perhaps with that no matter how real Madrid will perform they will not beat Girona but however the pressure Girona will be facing now is actually there fault because they should have won Almeria when they had the chance because they had a lot of good opportunities to score but could not utilize it.

Even though Robert Lewandowski can be said to be a new player at Barcelona, in reality his presence brought victory only at the start, whereas currently conditions cannot bring victory to Barcelona, even though he scored a goal in the 33rd minute, which shows that Robert Lewandowski is still trying hard to score goals even though Barcelona is experiencing quite critical internal problems.

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

In the match between Almería and Girona, neither team could score any goals. But Girona team player A. García got 1 red cards in 80 minutes. However, both teams played very well. I thought Girona team would win the match but Girona team won the match.  Couldn't score a goal. Girona team is in 1st position on the points table while Almería team is in 20th position. Girona team's players had a bad performance in the match for which Girona team didn't succeed in scoring any goals.

I don’t know why you guys put it this way, but Xavi or Lewandowski is not Barcelona problem . The squad is struggling with injuries, the club is too broke to get squad players and they have to rely on teenagers for a bench roles

That’s not a coaching problem but management problem

Almost everyone is focused on Real Madrid's victory in the Super Cup and forget that Girona only drew yesterday this means that Real Madrid has a good chance of securing first position in the standings Real Madrid will lead by 2 points if they win their next match. We really didn't expect Girona unable to beat Almeria even though Almeria is the weakest team in this league, what was even more surprising was that Almeria was able to control the attack at least 20 shots are recorded in the statistics while Girona only had 5 shots.

Well it's good to point out this fact that Madrid might take up the league lead, but don't also forget that Girona are still formidable with Their performance, and i will say you shouldn't write them off so soon, of course the league is now open for other competitors like Madrid to take up the leadership position that's if they win their next match, but forget that Girona will also keep the pressure coming.
I saw the Real Madrid winning of the Spanish super cup coming, currently they are the more formidable team than Barcelona, so it was an easy win for them

Barcelona and Atletico this season are considered unstable, the only club that is most serious about suppressing Madrid dominance in the trophy hunt is Girona. In my opinion, the competition is lame, in the sense that Girona is not a team that is expected to be able to compete with Madrid, and that does not mean underestimating Girona. But the fact is that currently it is Girona who are taking over the role in the competition and challenging Madrid directly. A draw against Almeria is not something bad. We have to understand that Almeria really needs a win. Apart from that, we remember that Madrid also drew before, so I think Girona is still on track at the moment.

On the other hand, Bilbao now occupies third place in the La Liga standings, shifting the position of Barcelona and Atletico. We know that Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico still have one match postponed, but if a surprise occurs then Bilbao will be very lucky to be in the Champions League zone. Bilbao presence in the top four certainly makes it difficult for Atletico to break into the top four, I think La Liga this season is more difficult to predict than previous seasons.

Agree with you on the fact that la Liga this season is not easy to predict, the outcome and the permutations of who will lead or win the title at this point is not clear and I believe that is the same thing with a lot of leagues at this moment. Girona, Real Madrid, athletic club and Barcelona are currently the top four teams at the table at the moment, this four teams have been consistent in making ways for themselves this season, I'm seeing it that it is a bit difficult for atletico Madrid to break into the top four, though it might happen between now to the end of the season but at this moment it will be a bit difficult for them.

He has already had one season with Barcelona and this is his second season with Barcelona so he is not a new player anymore. In his first season, he successfully led Barcelona to become champions and was also the top scorer last season.  but this season he was not able to maintain his best performance and there were also several big obstacles, including he also suffered an injury this season. I think he is old and it is very natural that his performance has decreased.

Xavi must immediately prepare a more impressive, younger striker to replace Lewandowksi if one day Lewandowski is injured. Apart from that, Barcelona is still quite strong this season because they have quality players in their team such as Lewandokwsi, Gundogan and also De Jong. Xavi must transition more young players into his squad.

I thought Girona team would win the match but Girona team won the match.  Couldn't score a goal. Girona team is in 1st position on the points table while Almería team is in 20th position. Girona team's players had a bad performance in the match for which Girona team didn't succeed in scoring any goals.

A bottom team, the least club in Spain humiliated a firing team like Girona by interfering in bottom team support and succeeded in dragging Girona down. It doesn't matter which team sits first position on the league table, what matters is the club that would be crowned Champions of La Liga. Amería vs Girona ended 0-0. I would say whom among these two clubs was lucky enough to secure a draw tie and I'm referring to Girona that partially escape defeats which would have become make them dropped against Real Madrid.

There was indeed a slight shift this week like Girona who lost 2 points and Bilbao entered the top 4, regarding Atletico Madrid, I believe they still have a big chance to finish in the top 4 and they still have the same points it's just that they haven't played their 20th match yet. Overall, Atletico Madrid's performance was no better than Bilbao but there is no guarantee that Bilbao will continue to play well until the end of the season.

Lewandowski is now 35 years old. Lewandowski should not be expected to consistently perform well in every match at this age. Still, Lewandowski is performing well enough. He managed to score 8 goals and 4 assists in 17 matches. However, Barcelona's overall performance is still dependent on Lewa. Xavi should try to reduce this dependency. Barcelona have a lot of talented young players. But Barcelona is not getting good performance from young players. If Xavi can use these young players properly I think Barcelona's overall performance will improve. And once again the Barcelona team will be able to dominate La Liga.

He played in barcelona since last season and how can you said that he was a new player of barcelona? It doesn't even make sense to read it. You score a goal for your club but your club was losing the game and it means nothing. The goal from lewandowski was just a number but it means nothing. Barcelona was losing and this is the fact. Barcelona is performing so poorly and this is the fact. It doesn't even matter how many times people will make excuses for barcelona and lose is lose.

The goal from lewandowski was not changing the result. The club needs to reevaluate themselves regarding the problem that faced by the club. How can barcelona win UCL if it still performs badly like that? Barcelona will be out from UCL too.
It's only matter of time till you will be seeing barcelona will be bottling other competition like la liga and UCL. This club was very weak and this the fact.

Girona was even much stronger than barcelona right now. The problem was on the team and coach. Barcelona needs to sort all it out from the club asap.

[Strongkored]

Relegation zone teams are mostly hard to defeat, they will be losing matches against mid-table teams but when they face top teams they look serious, that is why Girona suffered against them, but luckily Girona did not lose the match. Girona needs to be very serious this time because many teams will make an effort to beat them since Almeria who is in the relegation zone draws them.

This seems to be the case because being able to win against a stronger team will give them stronger motivation to get up, so teams that are competing for the title cannot underestimate teams that are in the relegation zone.

But next week Almeria will face Real Madrid, will they be able to do the same? hold this team to a draw because beating Real Madrid seems very difficult, even if they can hold a draw it will really lift their mental state which is quite down because they haven't won a single win this season and that's quite sad because last season Almeria managed to win at least 11x so they were able to survive the relegation zone, but this season it seems a certainty that they will play in the second division next season.

Next week Girona and Real Madrid will both face teams that are quite weak so the standings are very likely not to change and Real Madrid will have one postponed match which could be an asset to step down Girona.
