La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Strongkored]

Girona will face Celta Vigo in Week 22 and Celta Vigo can be said to be in the same condition at the moment as Sevilla, who was defeated with a landslide score by Girona last week, so if Girona performs as well as when they destroyed Sevilla it is very possible for them to do the same thing or at least achieve three points despite only winning by a narrow score as Celta Vigo will find it difficult to overcome Girona's because this team played with well-coordinated game.
It's quite interesting that the odds for the two are not much different, the home team gets around @2.70 and the away team gets at @2.50 will chance but not much in my opinion.
Celta Vigo are equally bad at home and away so the home factor will not give much of an advantage to those who will face a team that has not even been beaten away games, so this will be an easy win for Girona if they continue to play pressing, especially if they still have to maintain the difference points with Real Madrid because a draw would be profitable for Real Madrid.

So Barcelona again found themselves in awkward situation with the legal time coming to an end with a draw and they should wait for injury time to score goals against Real Betis otherwise they would lose two points..
Barcelona are seven points behind of Real Madrid and seeing how they were doing, I think the situation will not improve and they have to wait for points loss from Real Madrid and Girona side which are advancing too. Girona 5 goals against Sevilla were impressive

Ferran torres has become MOTM in this game. betis was not performing quite well. The club was making various attacks but it can only scored two goals which was a very bad thing to see that. Girona has become the only main competitor for barcelona in catching real madrid which is placing at the top position right now. I do appreciate that the performance from the club in this match caused by barcelona was able playing openly and scored a lot of goals against it. Despite facing financial difficulties, the club is making a concerted effort to improve the situation and make it even better. In an effort to maximize their available resources, Barcelona is making an attempt, however, it is expected that the results may not be sustained for an extended period of time. I do appreciate how xavi keeps try so hard to keep the momentum of club. Barcelona owes him a great deal of gratitude and wants to thank him sincerely.
I wanna say barcelona is still having a chance to compete for the title race this season. The club has not yet lost cuz barcelona is still having enough time till the end of season. The club hopes its competitors will lose some points.
Well, barcelona deserved won against betis caused by the club played better than before. It was even more solid compared to the previous matches.

When Barcelona played against Real Betis, the situation was quite tense when the second half almost reached the 90th minute. Because at that time the goal difference was still equal. However, what I admire about the Barcelona players is that in the crucial minutes they still had extraordinary composure and in the end were able to score 2 goals scored by Felix and Torres. So even though Barcelona is not yet at a point that I think is extraordinary, I still appreciate it. Because even though Barcelona is currently in 3rd place in the La Liga standings, I don't think that's bad either. Considering that the players that Barcelona currently has are not what they used to be (when Barca was victorious), but the development shown by Xavi and his players can be said to be quite good.

Apart from that, Barcelona is currently undergoing a slightly difficult journey to reach the top of the La Liga standings. The reason is that currently Barcelona is quite far behind the top two teams (Girona & Madrid) if you look at the point difference. So I agree with your opinion, that in order for Barcelona to be at the top of the standings, one solution is to wait for several defeats from Madrid and Girona. Because if this is not the case, it will be quite difficult for Barcelona to be at the top of the standings.

And for the next match in La Liga, Barcelona will face Villarreal. So hopefully Barcelona can reap maximum results in the upcoming match, so that they don't fall further behind Madrid and Girona. The reason is that currently Madrid and Girona are in very good performance.

[joniboini]

the decision that Xavi took was indeed too big but it was also the right step even though he had to field his key player because Lewandowski was couldn't score at all in this match, fortunately a replacement with Joao Felix resulted in the victory because as soon as Joao Felix came on he immediately scored the 3rd goal thanks to the assist provided by Ferran Torres.

I think that's what he should do from the beginning. It doesn't matter if a star player is in your team or not, if he doesn't perform and there's an alternative might as well give it a try. Not to mention Lewandowski is not as good as his first season. Granted if we assume he will continue to get at least 1 G/A every game then it doesn't look as bad since last season he had 30 G/A in 34 games[1].

already 2 goals behind from Almeria, they can turn things around to win 3-2. with a very consistent appearance, it will be difficult for Barcelona to catch up with Real Madrid.

Not sure if that's a good thing though. Consistently performing badly but scoring late goals sounds incredible, but it also shows that a little bit unlucky and you won't be able to do that. Aside from their controversial goal, they never played really well to begin with. Being 2-0 down against a bottom-table team also sounds worrying if your closest rival with no notable star players can score 3 or more goals per match. Then again this is Madrid we're talking about. Their aim is just to win the game regardless of how they play their football imo.

Celta Vigo hosted Real Sociedad in the quarterfinal match of the King's Cup. Real Sociedad increased the pressure from the first minutes and scored in the 2nd minute. Real Sociedad, who managed to take the lead in the first half, managed to win the match despite losing control in the second half. Celta Vigo's goal in the last minutes was not enough for them to take the match to extra time and they were eliminated.

Real Sociedad, who managed to take the lead in the first half, managed to win the match despite losing control in the second half. Celta Vigo's goal in the last minutes was not enough for them to take the match to extra time and they were eliminated.

Even though previously these two teams had met in a La Liga match and the result was Real Sociedad's victory by a narrow score. The same thing happened again during the Copa Del Rey match and this time Real Sociedad managed to take a quick lead in the early minutes. This advantage did not make Real Sociedad feel complacent and they certainly learned from the previous meeting and they also managed to increase their lead to two goals.

Celta Vigo may not be the favorite team but at least they managed to shorten the score to a narrow victory for Real Sociedad and we know that this result did not have any impact on Celta Vigo. This result makes Real Sociedad move to the semifinals of the Copa Del Rey and wait for their opponents from the results of the Mallorca vs Girona match which will take place today.

So far Real Madrid got many injured players during this season but they try hard to keep the team in good form and make these players to stay motivated. While Éder Militão the player of Real Madrid is injured but Real Madrid extended his contract to increase his motivation for the next game. The contract of Éder Militão was about to end in 2025 but Real Madrid extended his contract for a longer time until 2028.

He is always an important defender for Real Madrid recent seasons and this contract expansion will help Real Madrid to secure their defense system in coming years. The injury of Alaba is bad for Real Madrid but they have a very flexible coach who can smell potential of players and use them in new positions. He can help both players to enlighten them at new positions and a most famous example is Andrea Pirlo. His flexible management and ability to use players flexibly can help the club to minimize effects from player injuries and even can keep up chances to win titles.

This result makes Real Sociedad move to the semifinals of the Copa Del Rey and wait for their opponents from the results of the Mallorca vs Girona match which will take place today.

Celta Vigo may not have been at full strength in this match as they want to focus on the league first and foremost, because they are not doing very well in the league.Sociedad were the more relaxed team and it was not so important for them to win, but they managed to put Celta Vigo under pressure from the first minutes and when they scored, we knew that the match would not be too difficult for them. I don't expect any big surprises in Mallorca-Girona and I expect Girona to defeat their opponents and advance to the Semi-finals, they have the potential to win the trophy this season in all competitions and they can do it.

[Solokan]

Girona's performance is getting stronger by the day. I have only  seen Girona play poorly in two  games this season. The team's performances against Real Madrid and Almeria were poor. They lost against Madrid and shared the points with Almeria. Girona  also drew three more  matches, but their performance was good enough. And so it can be easily assumed  that if the players of the team can maintain the consistency of such performance  then they are the worthy claimants of the La Liga title. However  their main rival Real Madrid is  very strong and experienced. They  will not want to miss out on the La Liga title in any way. Real Madrid will continue to make maximum efforts to win the title.

Yes, Girona's performance is getting better day by day and I think it's normal for them to encounter a few obstacles in matches such as the draw against Almeria and when they played against Real Madrid they also lost at that time with a score of 0-3, but now Girona has shown their greatness until now. Girona still leads the Laliga standings.

yes, Girona's rival in Laliga is currently very tough, namely Real Madrid and the difference in points is only small, Girona who played against Almeria of course Girona couldn't win the match but Real Madrid against Almeria succeeded in winning with a score of 3-2. Yes, the point is now the competition is getting tighter and I think that when Madrid plays Las Palmas, I think Madrid will have the potential to win and will overtake Girona's position. Likewise, when Girona plays Celta, I think Girona will have the potential to win and will again shift Madrid's position from the top of the standings. Yes, it looks like Girona and Madrid will compete until the end of the season because other teams in Laliga, such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, of course have a big difference in points from Madrid. and Girona.

Celta Vigo is not a tough opponent for Girona, even though this game will be held at Celta Vigo's headquarters, it doesn't mean much for Girona who is performing consistently. The victory achieved over Sevilla last week added to Girona motivation to achieve another big win. This team is very productive this season, of course Girona players will take advantage of games against weak teams to increase their number of goals.

Celta Vigo will have difficulty in this game because they have only been able to achieve three wins since the start of the season, they also lost points at home when they hosted Real Sociedad last week. The spirit of victory over Sevilla still burns within the Girona players, they will continue to maintain their performance to keep their position safe.

Yes, it looks like Girona and Madrid will compete until the end of the season because other teams in Laliga, such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, of course have a big difference in points from Madrid. and Girona.

Overall, Girona's performance is quite consistent, and if you look at the results they obtained against bottom team Almeria, this is quite normal.
Every football team definitely has times when they are unlucky in some matches, but we also have to look at the overall performance of a team and Girona is really quite good at maintaining their team's performance until the end of the season.

I think Girona has everything to be able to compete for the La Liga title until the end of the season, although realistically the strength of the Real Madrid team is far above them, but there are several things that Girona can take advantage of to be able to take advantage.
Girona just needs to maintain consistent performance until the end of the season, that will be enough for them to stay at the top of the standings.

Celta Vigo hosted Real Sociedad in the quarterfinal match of the King's Cup. Real Sociedad increased the pressure from the first minutes and scored in the 2nd minute. Real Sociedad, who managed to take the lead in the first half, managed to win the match despite losing control in the second half. Celta Vigo's goal in the last minutes was not enough for them to take the match to extra time and they were eliminated.

The Cope del Rey is going to a very tough competition. The remaining teams are all good. Barcelona, Bilbao, Atletico Madrid, Girona, Sevilla and Mallorca all have a chance to make it to the semis.
My bet is on the more in-form teams of each fixture to qualify. Real Sociedad have already qualified ahead of Celta.
Atletico Madrid will knock out Sevilla and Girona will knock out Mallorca.

The unpredictable fixture IMO is the Atletic Bilbao vs Barcelona game tonight. This is a very complicated game. Bilbao is in good form and they're very formidable at home. Barcelona are not in good form but they are trying to get wins. I feel like it's a 50/50 match but there will be at least 3 goals in the match.

[bering]

Girona will fight against Mallorca today at quarterfinal Copa Del Rey match and last week Girona was very impressive because they can able to humiliate Sevilla with big scores and on that match Artem Dovbyk was make his personal record as the player with the fastest hattrick in a single match because it took only 6 minutes for him to made a hattrick and about this match previously Girona was never able to gets Copa Del Rey trophy and their highest achievement is quarterfinal and today if Girona can able to beat Mallorca then this will be their first semifinal in this competition and also new history

Barcelona also has interesting match in Copa Del Rey too today because they will playing at Bilbao home ground and last week both teams has opposite results because Bilbao was lost from Valencia and Barcelona can able to beat Betis with huge scores and both teams has been met previously on October at that time Barcelona can able to beat Bilbao with narrow scores and today it's very interesting to know whether Barcelona can able to repeat that result again or not but Bilbao at home was quite strong this season because they were unbeatable in the last 12 matches in all competitions so this match will be so tight

[Warkop]

So Barcelona again found themselves in awkward situation with the legal time coming to an end with a draw and they should wait for injury time to score goals against Real Betis otherwise they would lose two points..
Barcelona are seven points behind of Real Madrid and seeing how they were doing, I think the situation will not improve and they have to wait for points loss from Real Madrid and Girona side which are advancing too. Girona 5 goals against Sevilla were impressive

Barcelona will clearly have difficulty catching up with Real Madrid's points if they want to win the Spanish league championship. the difference in points is also quite far. and Real Madrid also has a constant appearance and is difficult to lose points. already 2 goals behind from Almeria, they can turn things around to win 3-2. with a very consistent appearance, it will be difficult for Barcelona to catch up with Real Madrid.

Judging from the points obtained, Barcelona is indeed far behind Real Madrid, but I see that Barcelona is trying to get up to improve its performance and be consistent in its game. Therefore, in his matches in La Liga he always wins to reduce the difference in points with Real Madrid, because in football matches nothing is impossible, and he still has a long way to go this season. Of course, Real Madrid will definitely experience a decline in performance, because the situation on the field never knows what it will be like and what will happen. For Real Madrid's match against Almeria, I saw that their performance was very bad and they always lost the ball in their midfield so that in the first half Real Madrid was 2 goals behind Almeria. In my opinion, Real Madrid's victory in this match was not a very natural victory because this match is always full of drama so the referee always justifies Real Madrid's decisions.

Barcelona will not chase Madrid or Girona. What Xavi's squad can maintain now is to remain in their position for next season's Champions League.
Barca still has to fight and maintain its standings with Atletico Madrid and Bilbao. They are very close and there could be a shift at any time.
Barcelona still cannot return to their top performance. The club's financial problems put a heavy burden on Xavi in developing the team and also achieving its targets.
the situation would have been different if Barcelona's finances were strong enough like Madrid's.

[tusandii]

Even though previously these two teams had met in a La Liga match and the result was Real Sociedad's victory by a narrow score. The same thing happened again during the Copa Del Rey match and this time Real Sociedad managed to take a quick lead in the early minutes. This advantage did not make Real Sociedad feel complacent and they certainly learned from the previous meeting and they also managed to increase their lead to two goals.

Celta Vigo may not be the favorite team but at least they managed to shorten the score to a narrow victory for Real Sociedad and we know that this result did not have any impact on Celta Vigo. This result makes Real Sociedad move to the semifinals of the Copa Del Rey and wait for their opponents from the results of the Mallorca vs Girona match which will take place today.

I actually saw that in yesterday's match, Celta Vigo was almost able to hold a draw against Real Sociedad, but fortunately Sheraldo Becker was able to seal Real Sociedad's victory.
I saw that Mikel Oyarzabal actually appeared more aggressive than in the previous match.
Celta Vigo may not be a strong club but competing at home gives the players the strength to be able to put up a fight.
Actually, Real Sociedad could have scored more because they put strong pressure on Celta's defense several times but failed because maybe Real Sociedad's attacking players weren't too focused in the match, but it's a shame that they had opportunities several times but couldn't make good use of them. .
But it was a little strange to see Celta, who usually perform poorly, but met Real Sociedad as if they were very enthusiastic about trying to hold the match to a draw.

[3meek]

Probably the most interesting match today will be Bilbao vs Barca... Bookmakers rate the chances of winning equally high, around 2.6... Many people here think that Barca will win, but their last game with Betis showed big problems in defence... It seems to me that if they haven't corrected the mistakes, Bilbao can beat them...

[bitLeap]

As we have seen, Almeria suffered a crushing defeat to Real Madrid, but that doesn't mean Almeria played badly, on the contrary, I appreciate their performance which was able to score goals and also against Girona they were able to hold a 0-0 draw. Almeria is currently considered the club that is Girona champion in La Liga, its track record is proven. However when faced with other clubs, Almeria always shows poor performance. The weekend faces Alaves and personally I don't guarantee that the performance will be as aggressive as against Madrid. Because faced with a high level club Almeria can be stable, whereas with an ordinary club its performance is not that impressive.

Even though Almeria who is at the end of the standings, has the potential to be relegated targeting more than 10 points with the remaining games remaining is the most difficult thing they have to go through.

Yes, Girona's performance is getting better day by day and I think it's normal for them to encounter a few obstacles in matches such as the draw against Almeria and when they played against Real Madrid they also lost at that time with a score of 0-3, but now Girona has shown their greatness until now. Girona still leads the Laliga standings.

Leading the top of the standings by 1 point still makes Girona unsafe. Moreover, Real Madrid has 1 match remaining which they win, so the difference in points is changed. Madrid is still in pretty good condition and can still catch up with Girona. Because facing the end of this season it is a challenge for Girona to remain consistent and not waste any match. In my opinion, a difference of 1 point does not really give Girona an advantage, and interestingly this difference of one point is what Girona got against Almeria.

[HajiBagi]

Girona will fight against Mallorca today at quarterfinal Copa Del Rey match and last week Girona was very impressive because they can able to humiliate Sevilla with big scores and on that match Artem Dovbyk was make his personal record as the player with the fastest hattrick in a single match because it took only 6 minutes for him to made a hattrick and about this match previously Girona was never able to gets Copa Del Rey trophy and their highest achievement is quarterfinal and today if Girona can able to beat Mallorca then this will be their first semifinal in this competition and also new history

Barcelona also has interesting match in Copa Del Rey too today because they will playing at Bilbao home ground and last week both teams has opposite results because Bilbao was lost from Valencia and Barcelona can able to beat Betis with huge scores and both teams has been met previously on October at that time Barcelona can able to beat Bilbao with narrow scores and today it's very interesting to know whether Barcelona can able to repeat that result again or not but Bilbao at home was quite strong this season because they were unbeatable in the last 12 matches in all competitions so this match will be so tight

Based on Girona's season-long performance, I think they have a good chance of taking home the trophy. While many teams, including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, are still in the running and also want to win the trophy, Girona's performance is so much better that even Mallorca, the team they are playing against, knows they will not be able to compete with Girona in today's match. Girona has grown into a formidable opponent in La Liga this season and has already defeated both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in their league debut, so I'm confident that they will win this Copa del Rey.

Barcelona is playing Bilbao, and if they play well, they can win the match. However, Barcelona should also keep in mind that they are playing at Bilbao home, so if they make a mistake, Bilbao will take advantage of that to win. Overall, though, it appears that Barcelona is taking this Copa del Rey very seriously because of how well they played in their last Copa del Rey match. I do wonder, though, if this is because they haven't faced a particularly formidable opponent.

[Solokan]

Girona will face Celta Vigo in Week 22 and Celta Vigo can be said to be in the same condition at the moment as Sevilla, who was defeated with a landslide score by Girona last week, so if Girona performs as well as when they destroyed Sevilla it is very possible for them to do the same thing or at least achieve three points despite only winning by a narrow score as Celta Vigo will find it difficult to overcome Girona's because this team played with well-coordinated game.
It's quite interesting that the odds for the two are not much different, the home team gets around @2.70 and the away team gets at @2.50 will chance but not much in my opinion.
Celta Vigo are equally bad at home and away so the home factor will not give much of an advantage to those who will face a team that has not even been beaten away games, so this will be an easy win for Girona if they continue to play pressing, especially if they still have to maintain the difference points with Real Madrid because a draw would be profitable for Real Madrid.

Yes, after winning the match against Sevilla, Girona will compete again against Celta and of course in this case we won't know what the result will be. But of course many people predict that in the next match Girona will win against Celta Girona and will become the favorite team. but sometimes the result of a match is always difficult to predict, like when Girona played against Almeria and at that time I personally also thought that Almeria would lose but in reality the result was a draw, now Celta's standings are better than Sevilla and of course this match has to make Michel careful because it could be a match. Later against Celta, Girona has the potential to draw or lose and I also saw that in the last 5 matches, Girona won 2 matches, Celta also won 2 matches and 1 was the same.
Yes, Celta could be one of the obstacles for Girona to prevent Girona from getting 3 points or only 1 point which Girona can get

Rafael Benitez will of course make a good formation, but I personally believe that Michel will also make a good technique. and to be honest, personally, in the Girona match against Celta, I bet on Girona winning.

Yes, as the host, Celta will definitely try their best to win the match, we'll see. Yes, if for example Girona were defeated by Celta then Madrid would definitely be happy.
