La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[marcous]

In essence, Getafe is only a mediocre team and therefore of course Real Madrid will be able to ensure victory in this match and that happened, because Real Madrid managed to score a goal in the 3rd minute, the goal was scored by Joselu. With his success in scoring this quick goal then yes, of course it will be more difficult for Getafe to develop their game in this match. So yes, even though Getafe is playing at home, but because Getafe playing against Real Madrid, it is of course still a difficult match for Getafe and Getafe has no chance of getting points in this match. Because yes, considering Real Madrid managed to score a quick goal like that, then I'm sure Real Madrid will win with a clean sheet in this match.

The quick goal scored by Joselu destroyed the mentality of the Getafe players, and I don't think Getafe can turn things around in the remaining time available. I predict Madrid will continue to press to increase their goal margin, which in the end could increase their overall goal productivity. Madrid managed to make good use of this postponed match, if they really succeed in winning then Madrid will return to the top of the standings and overtake Girona.

So far Getafe has rotated three players, and Los Blancos has only made one change. If Ancelotti squad succeeds in increasing the goal margin in this match, then Ancelotti can have the freedom to rotate more players, and I hope that happens because I want to see Guler get the opportunity to play tonight. Temporary score 2-0 for Madrid victory.

Some changes from Carlo Ancelotti to the Real Madrid team playing. I say it is good because the coach is making sure that players get ball time and reduce the stress from particular players who do not have the stamina, or injury prone but are always playing. It also increases the competition for first team place. It is working well for Real Madrid, Joselu who makes a start today have scored in just less than 20 minutes. Real Madrid have been very strong and not given Getafe's attacker Mason Greenwood to have any chance.

Now the second half of the Getafe vs Real Madrid match has also resumed and again Joselu scored his second goal in this match in the 56th minute. It is very clear that Real Madrid is very strong compared to Getafe who is the home team in this match so A landslide victory will belong to Real Madrid and with the victory obtained today it has also brought Real Madrid back to the top of the La Liga standings with a two point advantage over Girona who is still in second place in the standings.

[Furious 7]

The first goal from a Roque who in fact is currently a hope for young players to develop further is actually very good in my opinion because in the condition of Lewandowski who is still struggling in finishing at least there is a new aura from Roque that can be an option even though his appearance is still very lacking for a club like Barcelona.

Even though this is a narrow victory for Barcelona at least they can get 3 points in this match even though their problems are still not able to be overcome by Xavi where so many opportunities are wasted even if you look at the statistics of 16 shots only 4 on target it is really bad for a club like Barcelona especially they play against 10 players from Osasuna.
Well 3 points won but I am still not satisfied with their current performance.

I can't say yet if Roque is a supersub player, because his performance in 4 matches has not been satisfactory at all. however, it is very natural that this young player from Brazil still needs adaptation and he has not been given the opportunity to play more minutes. but in this match, after replacing Fermin Lopez, one minute later Vitor Roque was able to prove that he also deserved to be given playing time by scoring a goal which also became the only goal for Barcelona's victory. It seems that this young player from Brazil will be given more minutes of playing time. moreover, if Ferran Torres has to be absent due to injury. I'm sure that slowly Roque will show his skill in his game, because he just needs time to adapt.

Yeah, we agree, even though the victory was narrow and Barcelona had to work hard to win this match. but with this victory, it could be the start of Barcelona performing as it should. As for Lewandowski, unfortunately his goal was disallowed for offside. Plus, his consistency is starting to wane in terms of scoring goals. maybe with a combination of Roque, Lamine Yamal, and also Joao Felix. can solve problems on Barcelona's front line in terms of goal scoring productivity. In the next matches, especially against mid-table teams, Barcelona should be able to take advantage of the momentum to improve the quality of their play ahead of the Champions League last 16 match against Napoli.

Indeed, in this case for Roque he is still not too appropriate if it is said to be extraordinary even though his arrival and some news actually made the hype as if he was extraordinary but in terms of experience and performance he still cannot be said to be very good.
But at least with today's match and being the determinant of Barcelona's victory of course it was very good as his initial progress at Barcelona because of course with Lewandowksi who is currently experiencing a setback in terms of performance, it is certain that Roque must be a differentiator in this case because some other young players like Gavi now still cannot be expected because of injuries that still make him rest quite long.

The first goal from a Roque who in fact is currently a hope for young players to develop further is actually very good in my opinion because in the condition of Lewandowski who is still struggling in finishing at least there is a new aura from Roque that can be an option even though his appearance is still very lacking for a club like Barcelona.

Even though this is a narrow victory for Barcelona at least they can get 3 points in this match even though their problems are still not able to be overcome by Xavi where so many opportunities are wasted even if you look at the statistics of 16 shots only 4 on target it is really bad for a club like Barcelona especially they play against 10 players from Osasuna.
Well 3 points won but I am still not satisfied with their current performance.

With their confidence decreasing after losing several times in previous matches, being able to get three points in this match is something the Barcelona players should be proud of, especially Xavi, who was under a lot of pressure which made him decide to resign from Barcelona at the end of the season.

However, if you look at Barcelona in this match, actually their game in this match was very good, they should have scored more than one goal because Barcelona had many opportunities to score goals but unfortunately none of them were able to finish well.

However, overall this result is good for Barcelona to increase their confidence. Barcelona must continue to improve so that they can achieve positive results in the next three matches before having to face Napoli in the last 16 of the UCL League. Because I think Barcelona's only hope is in the UCL League, at least being able to reach the semifinals is a good thing for Xavi's farewell so it won't be too disappointing. In La Liga, Barcelona's hopes of retaining the La Liga title this season seem to have disappeared.

Well at least they managed to get 3 point even though their performance is still far from perfect because if you see what Barcelona did in this match especially in the game we must know their problems are still not fully resolved in terms of finishing.

Its a good thing that their opponents don't have good finishing too in this match because if their opponents have pretty good finishing like Villarreal and Bilbao in some matches that Barcelona fought before then the possibility of these 3 points will also be lost.

With this 3-point result at least gives them the opportunity to continue to be in the top 4 and still stick to Atletico.

[MinoRaiola]

Joselu has already converted one of his chances and after the first half Real leads 1-0. I also expect Real to win +2 goals (since I predicted their victory 3-0), but I can’t say that they will strain too much to achieve this score. At the moment, bookmakers see the most likely score as 2-0 in Real Madrid's favor.
Oh, I see that the hosts made a triple substitution at half-time, this could liven up the game! I hope for an open game (then Real will definitely score at least 2 more).

So the bookmakers have been right at the moment, if it stays like this, then the result will be 2:0. But there are still 10 minutes to play and Real Madrid have often scored in the last few minutes. If it stays like this, Real will be back on first place in La Liga with a 2-point lead. It is still unbelievable that Girona are playing so well for so long and have a real chance of winning the league, also a better chance than FC Barcelona at the moment... crazy. Sunday is a hard game for Real, they have to play vs Atletico again, they just recently lost there game in the spanisch cup.

[moneystery]

Real Madrid is in a better shape than Getafe no doubt and in their game tonight Real Madrid ought to grab all 3 points to themselves because they have what it takes to win and they are more informed than Getafe in all round. Secondly I think Madrid will have the opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the league standing if they should get a win today against Getafe this should be another reason why they will put in their best to ensure they get a win today seeing that Getafe is not a team to be compared with them but they shouldn't underestimate team Getafe else they will make things very difficult for them in the game.

I agree with you even we can call it an easy win for Real Madrid, we know Real Madrid is not comfortable seeing Girona at the top of the standings therefore Real Madrid will continue to try to take over, tight competition means Real Madrid doesn't have much choice but to win every match. I believe Real Madrid can win from the first half and I will bet Real Madrid to win Half Time/Full Time. Getafe also doesn't have any targets this season so whatever the result of today's match has no impact on them, Getafe will finish in mid-table.

of course, how can madrid be comfortable with girona being at the top of the standings until the middle of this season, but with this win against getafe, madrid is 2 points ahead to 57 points over girona so they are officially at the top now.

madrid is a tough team, girona will find it difficult to return to the top of the standings, girona has little hope of that but being in the runner up position until the end of the season, girona will definitely have it.

[Belarge]

Girona topping, Real Madrid behind with slight points difference, smooth run for the La Liga title this season. Carlo Ancelotti make this trophy his priory and he would definitely achieve them because he's master planner and his team is in good shape. Feels so good to watch your favorite team collecting three easy points from their opponents, atleast we don't have to bother or disturb ourselves regarding the connections. It's 2-0 on the scoresheet, Real Madrid leading in both halves. Joselu will look forward to grab his hattrick after netting his brace, a stupendous performance from the Los Blancos frontline.

But they have to do it even if it's uncomfortable.
Girona are currently in an extraordinary state due to their impressive performance, so inevitably Madrid must continue to try to prove that they are a club that is at a different level from Girona.

The win Madrid scored today definitely makes them top again but Girona will definitely keep trying to take that away.
The next 2 weeks for La Liga could actually be the difference I think because after all, given the current situation and the schedule they're going to have, it looks like there will be a change in the trophy race as Madrid and Girona will face troublesome sides next week followed by them meeting in the second week of February instead.

[maknyos]

The three postponed matches in La Liga were completed well by Madrid, Barcelona and Ateltico

Madrid vs Getafe, Madrid managed to secure full points and complete its mission to return to the top of the standings, overtaking Girona and creating a 2 point difference with them. Joselu became the man of the match, scoring 2 goals for Madrid victory.

Barcelona vs Osasuna, in the midst of the setbacks they experienced, Xavi troops managed to achieve a narrow victory, an additional 3 points made them safe in the top four of the standings. Vitor Roque was the hero of the victory, he should have been given more playing minutes.

Atletico vs Rayo Vallecano, had the same fate as the other two La Liga giants, Diego Simeone troops also managed to win over their opponents tonight with a final score of 2-1. Depay and Mandava were the actors in the victory, Atletico managed to secure third place in the standings from Barcelona.

Real Madrid is back on the top seat, it doesn't look like they make any mistakes. This time they managed to score in first half and don't let any comeback to happen. They finished with clean sheet which is important. Now their winning streak is 6 matches. Joselu couldn't score for a long time but he broke his bad luck and scored for the first time in the league since October 7th.
Barca and Atletico also won but the point difference is still 10 so their chances are pretty low unless Real Madrid lose points. I don't think they believe this gap to close as well. Real play superior to other teams and even if they play bad they still somehow win games.

[snipie]

of course, how can madrid be comfortable with girona being at the top of the standings until the middle of this season, but with this win against getafe, madrid is 2 points ahead to 57 points over girona so they are officially at the top now.

madrid is a tough team, girona will find it difficult to return to the top of the standings, girona has little hope of that but being in the runner up position until the end of the season, girona will definitely have it.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid all had matches against lower teams and they all had the 3 points.. The goal difference is just 1 to show how competitive these matches are except Real Madrid where they scored two goals to 0 and killed the game literally.

Girona should win next game against Real Sociedad and wait for Real Madrid to drop points against Atletico Madrid to claim the first spot eventually.

Now Joselu knows what it means to play for the best attacking club in the world. Real Madrid really had to rely on his goals to see them win this game tonight. He hasn't been much of whatever we expected of him this season since he joined Real Madrid. Jude Bellingham has helped converted the goals he should have. Good game for him tonight, I hope the goals scored tonight unlock more goals for him to be scored in the future.
The next game to be played would be between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. We all know how many times they've been beaten by them neighbors. Are we seeing another defeat soon?!

Barcelona travels to Alaves and hopefully they'll try to win that game. Games on the road anf at home haven't gone well for them.

Yes, the bookmakers turned out to be right (and I wasn’t, damn how many predictions for Real’s 3-0 victory I’ve already burned), but I wouldn’t say that it was logical - Real missed too many scoring opportunities for the 2-0 score to be considered “fair”. I’ll have to look at the expected goals statistics in this game later, I’m sure it’s more than 3.
Joselu scored a double, now he has 7 goals in La Liga, very good, I remember how he complained in an interview that he was suffering greatly from the fact that he could not be as effective as he should be in Real Madrid. I hope this gives him confidence.

[Spack17]

Real Madrid have really done it and obtained a really nice advantage in the league standings. It was Joselu's day today at the same time. These two goals scored by him must be good enough to improve his self confidence. However it wouldn't still be easy for him to be a regular in the starting 11.

Personally I find Rodrygo more reliable than Joselu. I respect Joselu's effort but I don't think he is quality enough to be a regular starter for Real Madrid.  

[logfiles]

Girona should win next game against Real Sociedad and wait for Real Madrid to drop points against Atletico Madrid to claim the first spot eventually.

With this recent Real Madrid form, I don't think the bitter rivals Atlético Madrid stand a chance. Yes, they may have eliminated Real Madrid from the Copa del Rey at the Wanda Metropolitano but at Real Madrid's backyard -  Santiago Bernabéu, the hosts will be looking to seek out serious revenge.



I know it's still early, but this La Liga trophy is Real Madrid's to lose.

[Egii Nna]

Girona should win next game against Real Sociedad and wait for Real Madrid to drop points against Atletico Madrid to claim the first spot eventually.

I don’t think that will be possible, even though we know that Girona might win their next match against Real Sociedad. I don’t think they will have the point to come back to the top of the table because their last meeting with Real Sociedad ended in a 1-1 draw, and everyone knows that Real Sociedad is also trying their best.

So to me, I think it will be very hard for Girona to come back to the top of the table. And their match against Real Sociedad might even end in a draw also, which we know that Real Madrid still have a game to play against Atletico Madrid, and I don’t think Atletico Madrid can win Real Madrid, so thinking about Girona at the top of the table is something that will be hard to happen.

Personally I find Rodrygo more reliable than Joselu. I respect Joselu's effort but I don't think he is quality enough to be a regular starter for Real Madrid.  

After watching Joselu play today, I can say he did alright even though he is very dramatic at falls on every touch from opposition players but he did get the goals which were the only things that separated Madrid from Getafe tonight. I have only seen Joselu play a few times amd on those occasions, his performance were quite alright. I have zero complaints. But for the striker position, he is a much better option compared to Rodygo imo.

Also, I'm looking forward to that Real Madrid vs Girona game on 10th February — it would fun to watch because whoever wins might end up winning the La liga title, who knows.

[Google+]

Real Madrid is still the strongest team in La Liga, maybe a decade ago we could talk about how Barcelona was better, and maybe last year Real had a bad year which was shocking considering they dominated the whole world of football a year before that, but at the end of the day we are talking about a team that is going to end up with a good result one way or another eventually and they always do end up at the top.

I think it's clear that people are making mistakes when they do not give enough attention to Real, and betting on them to win is a great way to make money, no matter who they play against, they end up winning. Odds are usually not attractive and the return is small, but it's fine to bet on them and get a little bit of profit anyway.

Real Madrid chances this season to win the trophy are quite big because they are only competing with Girona and I'm sure Girona will not be able to create fatal difficulties for Real Madrid. Today victory makes Real Madrid take over the leadership of the standings again where Real Madrid is already 2 points ahead of Girona. Slowly, I think Real Madrid will be able to widen the points gap with Girona. With the strength of the team being so perfectly integrated this season, Real Madrid will of course be the team at the forefront to win the title.

In fact, there is no doubt that if Barcelona weakens, Real Madrid will become champions and that has happened in several previous seasons. For this season, Barcelona has experienced quite a drastic decline in their performance so that Real Madrid, which has performed well this season, will try to take advantage of Barcelona imbalance to win the title. Apart from that, Bellingham has also found his best form this season, he is very comfortable partnering with Vini and Rodrygo in threatening the opponent's goal.

Feels so good to watch your favorite team collecting three easy points from their opponents, atleast we don't have to bother or disturb ourselves regarding the connections. It's 2-0 on the scoresheet, Real Madrid leading in both halves. Joselu will look forward to grab his hattrick after netting his brace, a stupendous performance from the Los Blancos frontline.

The strongest candidate to win the league remains real madrid. despite the tight competition in the table standings with a tight point difference also with girona. but the depth of the squad including the reserve players is better and better real madrid. that's what causes real madrid to be more favored. because if the main player is injured. his coating player can replace equally well in contrast to girona.

[Ndabagi01]

Some changes from Carlo Ancelotti to the Real Madrid team playing. I say it is good because the coach is making sure that players get ball time and reduce the stress from particular players who do not have the stamina, or injury prone but are always playing. It also increases the competition for first team place. It is working well for Real Madrid, Joselu who makes a start today have scored in just less than 20 minutes.

Joselu's brace today provided Real Madrid with an opportunity to win the game and earn three points. The match was not expected to be difficult for them, so their victory came as no surprise. They have now increased their chances of winning the title. With a two-point lead, if they can maintain this form, Girona will only remain in second place until the end of the season, assuming they remain consistent in their matches. The league is still wide open, and I expect a very competitive season before it ends. The league title is now more between Girona and Real Madrid, as they remain the closer opponents than the teams in 3rd and 4th position which their point gaps are very large when compared to that of the teams in first and second position..

It wasn't a surprise, but if you ask them whether they found that victory difficult or not, I will tell you that they prepared for that game like for every other game. They know that this season they have a contender who seems to be able to go the extra mile to win the title. Girona seems to not be one of that surprising teams that play well for 25 games and then their performance decreases and they lose several games. Real Madrid needed those three points and the way Joselu performed in this game against Getafe was the reason why they signed him. This is what they want from him. The timing of the goals was also great as this allowed Real Madrid to control the game for pretty much the entire duration.
