La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[YuginKadoya]

The Old style isn't working no more so it has become necessary they move from it to something new and working, when they had the likes of Messi and Suarez who had betyer creativity with which he will be able to do all of that was when Barcelona was able to do the whole moving into the opponent penalty area.

When Barcelona keeps talking about their financial constraints it really hets me worried because this is a team that's ranked richer than Manchester united, as a matter of fact they are third if not forth richest across Europe so wonder where the financial crises emanates from when teams they happen to be richer than are doing even better and buying players to strengthen the team and achieve more as they should. Xavi is obviously tired with recent happening so it won't be a bad idea if he leaves at once.

It's evident that Barcelona needs a shift in strategy, especially considering the changing dynamics in football. The era of Messi and Suarez, with their creative prowess, allowed for effective penetration into the opponent's penalty area. The financial constraints, despite being one of the wealthier clubs, are indeed perplexing. Other rich clubs seem to navigate these challenges more successfully. Xavi's frustration is understandable, and if he decides to part ways with the club, it could be a crucial moment for both parties to reassess and make necessary changes.

Barcelona have had quite an impressive Spanish cups journey and they were up against Betis some days ago and it was expected that no matter the condition they're in, they're given the higher odds of winning. Their games this second half of the season have been both good and bad. In all they've not failed to give an impressive performance. Sadly, yesterday wasn't so beautiful for them.

 Villarreal were a side that gave them a tough time and they had the experience too and were the host and so it was not so easy for Barcelona coupled with their shaky performances so far in all contests. Well their performance was quite remarkable and at least they were able to net a few goals too. The result of the game may have an effect on their confidence in subsequent games, but it's expected that Xavi should know how best to get good results as the league games draws the season to an end.

Barcelona's journey in the Spanish cups has indeed been a mix of highs and lows this season. The recent match against Villarreal posed a tough challenge, considering their experienced opponent and the shaky performances Barcelona has had. Despite the difficulties, their ability to net a few goals showcased their resilience. The outcome may impact their confidence, but with Xavi at the helm, there's hope for strategic adjustments as they approach the end of the league season. It'll be interesting to see how Barcelona navigates the remaining contests under his guidance.

Atletico Madrid took the lead with the goal they scored in extra time in the first half, otherwise things would have been difficult for them. Valencia conceding a goal just before halftime broke their resistance. Atletico had no difficulty in increasing the lead to two in the second half. Memphis Depay scored a beautiful header goal, it was a typical Atletico goal in terms of preparation. Valencia looked for a goal in the remaining minutes, but we can say that they were not strong enough. Valencia had a great 4-game winning streak, but this streak ended against a very strong team like Atletico. Valencia fans are not very upset about this defeat, after all, this was the expected score.

It's better for Xavi for leave Barcelona for his mental health. He said that in Barcelona, you expect to win and continue to win because the club has a standard and that is what they want to protect and the fan base acre very toxic, a small mistake they will insult the living out of you and because he value his health over everything he want to quit after the end of.the season and I want them respect it, you don't want a person to work for you and want to put him in a position that will mentally destroy him, the era of Messi Barcelona with Xavi will never happen to a Barcelona again, take it or live it.

Xavi has been treated very unfairly and I wonder why it’s happened so; he won the league last season and has rightly struggled this season simply because the Barcelona team is just not good enough

The abusive fans, can they make mention of any coach that can grind out results like Xavi does today?

Since  Xavi Hernandez took over the management of the club, he's struggled to keep the club at the top and the reason for his struggles aren't because he doesn't have the the needed tactical experience to help them win as many trophies as possible but because the club management have failed to sign the needed quality of players to keep them at the afloat.

Since the start of the season, Barcelona have experienced a lot of injuries to their key players and in the current winter transfer window, they were supposed to sign top players that'll help the but surprisingly, the management of the club is yet sign top players. Xavi Hernandez can't continue like that and that's why he's decided to leave the club

Xavi Hernandez can't continue like that and that's why he's decided to leave the club

It's a common knowledge that the success of a team and the manager is often influenced by the quality of players available. Key players being injured and the perceived lack of significant signings could indeed contribute to the team's difficulties. Injuries can disrupt the balance of a squad, and Xavi can't get reinforcements because Barcelona have finance situation. If Xavi Hernandez has decided to leave the club, it could be a result of a combination of factors, including the challenges posed by the current state of the squad and perhaps his vision for the team not aligning with the direction the club is taking in terms of recruitment and player acquisition.

Management decisions, especially in terms of transfers, play a vital role in shaping the squad's quality and competitiveness. It's common for managerial decisions to be influenced by the support they receive from the board and the resources available to strengthen the team. The departure of Xavi Hernandez may signal a need for significant changes within the club to address these underlying issues.

Barcelona have been subtle in the very best ways because they don't joke with them legends when they are Inna tight corner and odd environment like this.
They can't boast of winning any more trophies this season, they only can hope they win game and qualify for the first four clubs in the Premier League Competition next season.

Xavi Hernandez won Barcelona the trophy last season you get me? So I see no Fvck reasons why he'll call my best midfied nothing and nobody.
Jurgen Klopp has no plans for a new a new club right now.

Xavi achieved many achievements when he was still with Barcelona and winning last season was also a very important achievement. However, you need to know that perhaps the owner of Barcelona does not see how important his achievements are but instead demands that Xavi must always be asked to provide The best at the current club often loses and problems often occur which also makes Xavi increasingly stressed and perhaps this is what makes Xavi unable to think clearly and has difficulty giving instructions to his players when playing on the field.

[Weawant]

Who would have thought, Girona's journey so far has been very smooth, they were able to win easily against a team that could be said to be quite tough when facing Celtic last time, they performed well, Girona's defense also looked solid.

For Barcelona, this season they don't seem to have a chance to win the title. To be honest, I'm disappointed with Barcelona because they were beaten 5-3 by Villareal. xavi must be able to provide new energy for the barcelona squad if he is not able to, it is likely that his future at barceloan will be short.

Girona has been one team thst has really earned my respect this season in the la Liga so far, they git a whole good part of my attention in the league rhis season because I never for once expected such of them, the performance they have so far, ro the point they are even ready to go heads on with elite teams in the la Liga.

It's really a surprise that have worth the while, Girona will most definitely finish at the second position if they are unable to finish winning the trophy by the end of the season buy for Barcelona they will just have to struggle to finish top four even if it's at the fourth position because they are not only behind buy with poor performance and tej best they can do is to maintain a position at top four because they are most definitely not going to end the season at the top of the table.

[SUPERSAIAN]

It is really fun to watch Atletico Madrid play so actively and offensively, and they do the attacking game well. Atletico Madrid could be the team that prefers to retreat from time to time. If today's match was last season, Atletico Madrid would have retreated after the first goal, but today they forced the second one, they did not stop and they got results.

They continued after the second goal and this year's Atletico Madrid is very good. They started the season badly, improved their game system and are now in third place in the league.

[TelolettOm]

I might think that Girona strength will really be tested in the next 3 matches because Girona will face Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and Bilbao where this team is the top team which might make it difficult for Girona to continue their winning trend. Of course, the big match is the Real Madrid vs Girona meeting which will take place at Madrid home ground. I am amazed by the strong strength that Girona has this season because they are very well organized in the way they play when facing strong teams. Their defense is strong enough to make it difficult for their opponents to score goals against them.

Nah, that's it. The three next matches will really be tough for Girona. As what you said, this will exactly test Girona performance and its progress in sequent. The next match against Real Sociedad will be one of the determinants because if they lose, this can have an impact on the mental condition of their players. but hopefully not. Girona is currently quite good in terms of mental preparation and performance on the field. but what is certain is that both H2Hs have more draws, so maybe Girona needs to increase their effectiveness in order to win. Next is against Real Madrid which becomes the toughest match I think. Which is based on H2H, real Madrid won more than Girona. So, in this case, both Girona and Real Madrid will play their efforts, moreover to determine the top standing position.

Aside from what Girona will be facing, actually their opponent, Real Madrid will also face the quite similar conditions, too. they will also face strong club like Atletico Madrid in few next match, so this will be also a tough match to face for Real Madrid.

[bering]

Girona continues to put pressure on Real Madrid because yesterday they just got a winning result from Celta and playing at Celta home ground surprisingly Celta can put them into the pressure because at least during the match Celta has gets several good opportunities to scores but luckily Girona goalkeeper Gazzaniga was performing well because i have seen at least Gazzaniga was successfully to blocked 3 shot attempts from Celta player and he also can ensure Girona defensive lines is safe and not conceded until the match ended

For other match Atletico Madrid vs Valencia previously i considers this is hard match for Atletico Madrid because Valencia performance is much better this season but Atletico Madrid can able to displayed good performance which make they can collect 3 points from this match and after this result Atletico Madrid can taking over again 3rd place from Barcelona however i have been notice after return from his injured Memphis Depay can scores 2 goals in the last 2 matches with Atletico Madrid and apparently he has found his shape again after long term injured

Girona has now succeeded in shifting Real Madrid's position from the top of the standings and now Girona is back at the top of the Laliga standings.

In my opinion, Girona's match against Celta was less exciting because the two teams did not each other score goals which ultimately resulted in the match being a narrow score of 0-1. but in this match I saw Celta playing very well but unfortunately Celta couldn't take full advantage of the opportunities, but what I liked most about this match was Guaita's performance which was great in guarding the goal which meant that Celta didn't concede much.

I thought that Girona would score a lot of goals in the match against Celta because in the Laliga standings of course Celta and Girona are very different, and I also thought that Dovbyk would score but unfortunately not, but fortunately Portu was
able to score and he was very good at taking advantage of opportunities.

but yes, we deserve to congratulate Girona who has managed to lead the top of the standings again and overtake Madrid, it looks like Madrid and Girona will continue to compete and shift each other's positions. And Madrid's next match will be against Getafe and I believe there is great potential for Madrid to win so it has the potential to shift Girona's position from the top of the standings again.

Even though Barcelona lost 3-5 against Villarreal, I saw that Barcelona performed very well by trying to shoot at goal 10 times but not being successful. Barcelona also played well with fairly good ball control with an estimate of around 72% if you look at the statistics. suitable. And Barcelona also plays with good cooperation between players by frequently passing the ball between players.
With Xavi's departure from Barcelona after the defeat against Villarreal, it was really surprising news, even though Xavi's contract period had not yet ended, Xavi made the decision to end it early. And with this change, hopefully in the future Barcelona can be even better and look for a replacement coach who can make Barcelona a strong and unbeatable team.

If they lose, of course it means they didn't play well in this match, especially since Barcelona is playing at home. They should be able to take advantage of this advantage, but in fact the Barcelona players didn't work well in this match.
And if you look at the actual strength, Villarreal is not much better than Barcelona, but in this match Barcelona's bottom line played so badly that they had to concede 3 goals at the end of the match so that Villarreal was able to reverse the score to 5-3, this is of course very detrimental for Barcelona.

Apart from the performance of the Barcelona players who were not fit and good, I heard news that Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was dissatisfied with the VAR decision which was considered to have given false hope during the match and Xavi Hernandez and the Barcelona players felt very disappointed. disadvantaged by this decision. And in my opinion, this incident was one of the factors that influenced Barcelona's defeat because they felt disadvantaged and could affect the emotional condition and morale of the players which was increasingly decreasing. And the Villareal team really took advantage of this to put a stronger emphasis.

La Liga matches aren't difficult after all. Atletico Madrid won Valencia, a deserving victory for Los Colchoneros after putting in their very best to ensure they grab good winnings at the end of the game. Clean sheet was also prioritized because the best team comes with different stellar display, no room for conceding goals. Atletico Madrid hits harder than they did in their previous match, the winning was compulsory for Diego Simeone and the team, it's time to fall back on track and do the unshakeable run in La Liga this season.

The abusive fans, can they make mention of any coach that can grind out results like Xavi does today?

Being in a big team is like that, if the team continues to experience negative results then the pressure will be even greater. In fact, the fault does not lie entirely on Xavi's shoulders with Barcelona's current downturn. At Barcelona, goalkeepers have always played an important role in defence, with ter Stegen taking the role of sweeper. However, Pena failed to play this role and continued to make mistakes which resulted in Barcelona often conceding goals.

Apart from that the problem with Xavi is that his tactics and ideas are not yet fully developed. He managed to win La Liga which makes me think he has the potential to be a great manager, but he needs time to develop but barcelona fans don't believe in the process. In my opinion, Xavi's departure is the best decision for all parties involved, he can gain experience at a club where there is less pressure because there is a good coach there.

[Jossque]

Girona managed to win away to Celta Vigo and continue to lead the league.Obviously such a performance was not expected and they are in a neck and neck title race with Real Madrid.Even though Real Madrid have one game less, the fact that they are now leading even with a game in hand has certainly boosted their confidence. They have a good squad and with this squad they will be able to do well even in the champions league even if they don't become champions.Girona will fight until the last weeks with the hope of becoming champions and will try not to lose matches, but I don't think Real Madrid will give the championship.

Girona is really serious and focused on challenging Real Madrid in this race we can see it when Girona misses other competitions such as the Copa del Rey, we still remember when Girona was defeated by Mallorca logically, it is impossible for Girona to be defeated by Mallorca but that is the fact that happened, so we consider that defeat to be part of Girona's plan to be more focused on the La Liga title. We know Real Madrid will not just give a title but on the other hand Girona will also do the same thing, and Girona still has an opportunity even though Real Madrid's chances are greater.

[Solokan]

Girona was very lucky because he was able to beat Celta who were the hosts in that match. Rafael Benitez used a 3-4-3 formation against Girona but the results were quite good because he was able to break through Girona's defense but unfortunately Celta's utilization of opportunities was still not optimal and it was a great shame ended in defeat for Celta. But yes, Gazzaniga's performance in saving his team was very good, even though the Celta players broke through Girona's back line, he was able to save the goal. but I also saw that Guaita was very good at guarding the goal even though he conceded because he could make the match end in a 0-1 draw. Yes, Girona put pressure on Madrid by winning against Celta and in the end Madrid had to drop their ranking to 2nd place. Even though Celta lost, with a narrow score of 0-1 I don't think Celta will be embarrassed because Girona is a strong team in Laliga which of course has a very different ranking. with Celta.

Yes, Barcelona now has to go down in ranking because Atletico Madrid won against Valencia with a score of 2-0. Yes, the presence of Depay will certainly make Atletico Madrid more enthusiastic and hopefully Depay will continue to produce his best performance and hopefully he won't get injured again.

Atletico Madrid hits harder than they did in their previous match, the winning was compulsory for Diego Simeone and the team, it's time to fall back on track and do the unshakeable run in La Liga this season.

Atletico madrid was doing the right job by winning the game against valencia while girona was also getting the good result afte rit was beating celta vigo. The won by those clubs are helping girona to be at the top position of la liga this season. Real madrid has one match left for this and im sure madrid will able to perform better than before.
Madrid will not be facing a strong club and it will be easy to collecting three points from its opponents. Getafe shall be an easy club to be beaten by real madrid. Madrid is a way better compared to the getafe. Botting this match will give bad impact to the madrid.

Girona had been making so many shoots but none of these shoots were able helping the club to get more goals except portu's goal. Girona is always playing like shit and its attacking line seems so difficult to score a lot of goals. Im feeling the competition will always be like this till the end of season.
There will be no a club that will be dominating the competition. Im sure that if girona will able to perform even better at the end of season. Will girona take the trophy this season? maybe yes.

Apart from that the problem with Xavi is that his tactics and ideas are not yet fully developed. He managed to win La Liga which makes me think he has the potential to be a great manager, but he needs time to develop but barcelona fans don't believe in the process. In my opinion, Xavi's departure is the best decision for all parties involved, he can gain experience at a club where there is less pressure because there is a good coach there.

Being at a big club is indeed a tough task for a coach to improve his performance and maintain his consistency because carrying out a task like that is not an easy task and what Xavi has done so far is not an easy task but Xavi can still give his best even though sometimes it is still lacking. In my opinion, this is because Barcelona doesn't have many potentially good players because Barcelona doesn't add to their squad and only uses the same squad because Barcelona's finances are limited. So they don't buy new players to improve their performance and over time Xavi finally gave up

If there is a coach who has better potential for Barcelona then just show him who it is because even a new coach will definitely be defeated if the fans want the club's performance to match their expectations while the management does not support financially in adding to the squad that is needed then Barcelona will not achieve the balance, of coaches either needs support to achieve the expected success. If at Barcelona he feels pressured and Barcelona does not try to keep Xavi then it is better to leave and choose a club that can support him financially and does not have heavy pressure.

Girona managed to win away to Celta Vigo and continue to lead the league.Obviously such a performance was not expected and they are in a neck and neck title race with Real Madrid.Even though Real Madrid have one game less, the fact that they are now leading even with a game in hand has certainly boosted their confidence. They have a good squad and with this squad they will be able to do well even in the champions league even if they don't become champions.Girona will fight until the last weeks with the hope of becoming champions and will try not to lose matches, but I don't think Real Madrid will give the championship.

Girona has gotten for themselves that mark of respect as far as playing football is concerned and this season of La Liga. They are leading with one point ahead of Real Madrid and they have been consistent leading the league for a while now.

What I cannot wait for is the day that Real Madrid would play against Girona, which is going to happen on the 10th of February 2024. On that day, I know Real Madrid will try to do their best in terms of making sure that they win that match, but I'm also sure that Ancelotti cannot give you a guarantee win right now about whether he can score that match or not.

On the other hand, I'm also confident in Michel and I know Michel can do something to win that match on that very day. Well, let's see and watch the Champions of the La Liga league play together on that 10th.

Girona was very lucky because he was able to beat Celta who were the hosts in that match. Rafael Benitez used a 3-4-3 formation against Girona but the results were quite good because he was able to break through Girona's defense but unfortunately Celta's utilization of opportunities was still not optimal and it was a great shame ended in defeat for Celta.

Gone are those days when I think Girona was lucky to win each and every piece of match that they play. My thoughts then were more of, how comes Girona is at the top of the league. When there are more big clubs that are stronger and they are referred to as star clubs in the league of which Girona is not among.

But right now there's nothing like luck again as far as Girona winning Celta is concerned. And I will give you a detailed understanding of why I would say so.

Girona got 15 shots to 10 shots of Celta in the match. Girona also had more shots on target than Celta did. Girona also got more possession than Celta did. Girona had 567 passes whereas Celta got only 367 passes. In the accuracy of the passes, Girona got 84% whereas Celta got 76%. Girona also got more corners than Celta did. Girona had less fouls than Celta did. So, even if Celta was the host of the game, Girona has continued to show that power and boldness to win their matches.

Yes, Barcelona now has to go down in ranking because Atletico Madrid won against Valencia with a score of 2-0. Yes, the presence of Depay will certainly make Atletico Madrid more enthusiastic and hopefully Depay will continue to produce his best performance and hopefully he won't get injured again.

With Atletico Madrids goal yesterday, they were able to move a step ahead of Barcelona on the table standing right now. The problem is Barcelona is not really promising this time around and the issue lies on the management of the team.

Though, I am a lover of Xavi as Barcelona coach, I must also say that Xavi has not really performed as much as he should as a manager of a top club like Barcelona. This is not because he is not willing to do anything about that, but it is quite obvious that he doesn't have the capacity to manage the players that are available to him which is causing him this low performance and inconsistent performance in this season.

[len01]

Girona is really serious and focused on challenging Real Madrid in this race we can see it when Girona misses other competitions such as the Copa del Rey, we still remember when Girona was defeated by Mallorca logically, it is impossible for Girona to be defeated by Mallorca but that is the fact that happened, so we consider that defeat to be part of Girona's plan to be more focused on the La Liga title. We know Real Madrid will not just give a title but on the other hand Girona will also do the same thing, and Girona still has an opportunity even though Real Madrid's chances are greater.

Girona seems to be following the strategy used by Ancelotti as Real Madrid coach when he gave up the Copa Del Rey competition, Girona will also not focus on that competition.
this opinion is based on what I have observed that Girona is really against Real Madrid and does not want Real Madrid to be the La Liga title holders this season and we can see that Girona current efforts to continue chasing Madrid points on the one hand are very ridiculous when Real Madrid avoids the Copa Del Rey, Girona also followed suit to defeat the competition and it is really interesting for me to see a small team trying to take on the big teams in La Liga.

when Barcelona no longer had the ability to compete in La Liga, Girona tried to replace Barcelona role trying to achieve success here but I don't want that to happen because it would be very funny if a small team could get rid of Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the title in La Liga while on paper, Girona is just a lucky team this season.
as a Real Madrid supporter I will pray that Girona will experience difficulties in the short term.
