La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

~snip~

Luka Modric is old so it's natural that his performance is decreasing, experience is very important, but usually Carlo Ancelotti only uses Luka Modric as a reserve player, but why did Ancelotti take the tough decision to put Modric as the main player even though there are other players who have better stamina? But yes, this has become the coach's decision, but at least in future matches Ancelotti must rotate the players correctly so as not to make mistakes.

This is what I fear for Madrid, they stumble over a small pebble. If it continues then Real Madrid will work even harder to stay number 1 until the end. As I see it, the Belingham factor looks very much needed. There was no movement or creative passing from Madrid's midfielders. In addition, Rayo put a lot of players in the defense. This made it difficult for Real Madrid to add goals. Naturally, many teams defend and frustrate the big teams and this happened in Madrid vs Rayo. Luckily they did not lose and got 1 point.

Because Bellingham was injured then of course, Ancelotti made a change in formation and all factor in the match then that an older player like Modric was played in the starting lineups . After all,Modric also didn't play for the full 90 minutes, because in the end Modric was replaced by Guler but ya, if for example,Modric didn't play from the starting lineups, that maybe Kroos will be play from the starting . But yes, basically Ancelotti has also rotated in this match but indeed, the results are still not optimal because Rayo Vallecano also has bigambitions, so it is still difficult for Real Madrid to beat Rayo Vallecano this season . Because ya, the fact is that Rayo Vallecano managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw in both of its matches this season and thus, basically Rayo Vallecano is not weak at all when playing against Real Madrid.

Then its almost like, Jude Bellingham is the nearest replacement to Luka Modric? I once said there no one close to replace Luka Modric at Modric but right now,  it feels good to see that I'm  wrong about that.
Jude Bellingham has done well in his very first season and debut for the Los Blancos side. No wonder they're cool with parting ways with Luka Modric. Also they have Arda Guler who haven't featured yet in any of the game they have played aikce he returned from injury.  He should be patient with his return back on the pitch. I do think Carlo Ancelotti is doing all these to protect the lad he should understand or perish.

For Atletico after the lose to Inter Milan. They'd be with tired legs against Almeria during the weekend,  I'm suspecting them to lose that game. And same goes to Las Palmas who should also lose to Osasuna.

I knew Girona would find it difficult to defeat Atletico Bilbao yesterday and it became more harder when the home team scored first. They are known to be very defensive that's why if you manage to see an opening, take it without wasting chances. Girona struggled in that game and it got me wondering how they were able to beat other teams before they met Real Madrid because normally, Girona even though they are a goal or two down, you'd notice that they'd keep fighting toll they get the three points but it was obvious Atletico Bilbao had done their homework and decided to lock shop after the second goal was gotten by the visitors.

Really happy to hear Girona lost. This means Madrid's points gap is still quite big. If you look at this match, I give a bad score to Girona's defense. First half mistakes allowed Athletic Club to score a quick goal, which put Girona under mental pressure. The 3rd goal was also the fault of Girona's defense. So if Girona hadn't made this mistake they probably would have won or at least drawn and got 1 point.

Girona will be going to UCL next season, a good amount of money for them, considering they have one of the greatest scouting networks in the world working for them, they could use that money to buy some very good players. The money is not paid until the half of the season, so they will prepay for everything and get paid later on, but they will have that money coming for them. Look at how much they spent to build this team, not even remotely close to what they are going to gain from this.

Being in top four of la liga and being in the group stages of UCL as well, means at least 50, maybe even 60-70 million euros to their account, if they built such a good team for much less, then with this money they can (or should) get even better.

[Jossque]

Barcelona will host Getafe at home.It is likely to be a difficult match for Barcelona.Getafe need to get points from their matches now to qualify for the European Cups and they will not give up easily.Barcelona's falling behind in the championship race may have discouraged them, but nothing is clear yet.It is an important match for both teams and we can expect a match with plenty of goals.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, will play away against Almeria.Although Almeria increased their points to 8 with the draws they got in the last 2 weeks, I must say that their chances of staying in the league have diminished.Atletico Madrid will not want to lose more points and will want to win as they have a chance to at least close the gap of 11 points with Real Madrid in the league.If they had beaten Sevilla before Las Palmas, maybe it would be different now, at least they would have equalized their points with Barcelona.

Girona has a great opportunity to go to the Champions League next season, provided that they have to maintain their game until the end of the season lest the negative results in their last 3 matches continue, because if they cannot rise then they will sooner or later be displaced from their current position or even they will be knocked out of the top 4, because in 5th place occupied by Atletico Bilbao, they are also waiting for the team above them to slip, including Girona.

Yes, with that money they can build a better squad, and it will be very useful for them in the Champions League (if they really make it). Now they don't have to think about that, more importantly they have to perform at their best in every match they play every week in La Liga. If they focus on other things, it might be detrimental to them because it might make them lose their game. I hope they (especially the players) can be more motivated to maximize the matches they play to achieve perfect results later.

It's been an extraordinary year so far for Girona. They lost to Atletic Bilbao and with this defeat, they were defeated only 3 times in the league. 2 of these defeats came from Real Madrid. So they did wonders in the league. I think they will continue in the league in the top 4 places. I'm sure they'll get their UCL ticket at the end of the year, and they totally deserve it.

The defeat against Bilbao not only made Real Madrid more comfortable at the top but also made the city team from Girona, namely Barcelona, increasingly able to catch up with the existing points difference. Barcelona must be very happy with Girona's defeat because it will be easier for them to compete with Real Madrid again. I know that the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 8 points and therefore they must first be able to overtake Girona before returning to action to enliven the title race.

But indeed, with Barcelona's current inconsistency they are also in doubt again and perhaps Barcelona will compete more to win second place with Girona and Atletico this season. This season is still quite long and everything can still change and I hope Real Madrid will not just enjoy being alone at the top and can present another competition with the other big 4 teams. It is certain that Girona will get a place in the UCL and they don't need to worry because they rarely get defeats like this against Bilbao so this week Girona can still win again.

At the moment there seems to be a different situation from Girona because in the last few matches they seem to be faltering and this is actually a pretty good advantage for Madrid in securing positions and continuing the hunt for champions this season after previously their trophy had to move into the hands of Barcelona.

Girona's situation is clearly always something that will definitely continue to be looked at in terms of performance because after all they are a club that can be said to be quite rare because with ordinary strength they are able to make a very extraordinary breakthrough from the start of the season but indeed with their schemes that are starting to be read at this time it seems quite difficult for Girona to maintain impressive performance at the start of the season.

They sometimes always have problems in the match and in the last 3 matches they have only been able to get 1 point which of course this is a quite unfortunate situation actually because after all their performance is very expected even though in the end they cannot compete for the trophy but with their excellent performance it has made us engrossed in La Liga this season.

Barcelona must be very happy with Girona's defeat because it will be easier for them to compete with Real Madrid again. I know that the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 8 points and therefore they must first be able to overtake Girona before returning to action to enliven the title race.

Competing with Real Madrid is not the problem, because Barca will only remain on the second position, if Girona lose one more game and Barca wins theirs. Real Madrid is already the winner of the league this season and nothing can be done to stop them. This is. Ecause I don't see Real Madrid losing any match, they might draw. Barca is not that strong for one to say that they will not lose some upcoming matches, and this makes it impossible for them to think that they can compete the title race with Real Madrid.

I think you are too confident to say that Real Madrid will never lose again until the end of the season. Real Madrid certainly has a safe position at the top of the standings because of its points advantage, but I'm not sure you can guarantee that someone who wants to bet $1k on Real Madrid will be able to maintain their winning consistency.

There are too many things that you forget about the possibility of a match, but I'm not surprised because in all probability you are a fan who absolutely does not want to see Real Madrid lose. There are 13 matches yet to be played and some of them are tough matches which could still result in Real Madrid losing points. Losing and winning are part of the game, so be realistic in making a statement.

You talk as if competition from other clubs does not exist at all. In a non-competitive environment you can develop like this in a parabolic fashion, but in reality it doesn’t work. Every season one of the ordinary clubs takes off, but the most difficult task is not to continue to progress, but to at least maintain what has already been achieved. Look at Union Berlin, look at Newcastle. The same thing will happen to Girona next season, I am 90% sure of it.

Newcastle is a different story than Union Berlin by miles and miles and miles. They are playing in the Premier League and even an investor doesn't guarantee that they can out of nowhere compete with Manchester City and Liverpool and yet they are 8th in the Premier League at the moment and I don't deem their drop in performance that significant. It is clearly a drop, but not comparable to Union Berlin.

Girona is owned by Guariola's brother in part at least and they have an investor group backing them up. I am not sure what they are going to do at the end of the season and especially during the transfer period, but I don't see a 90% chance that they would end up like Union Berlin. You provided quite a stretch as to how much a club can drop from the previous season.

I agree with you that real Madrid is already the winner of this Spanish La Liga because there performance and points difference is very clear so there is no way any club can challenge real Madrid on the first position now, however it was Girona that had the opportunity to stand as a threat to real Madrid but they lost the privilege the moment they lose there match against Athletic club, so perhaps right now the only position they should really focus on now is to maintain the second position but if they failed to be consistent then Barcelona will take over the second position, so perhaps they still have good opportunity to secure themselves a very good reputation.

Girona priority is to secure a ticket to appear in the Champions League next season, if they are lucky they will continue to pressure Madrid in the remaining matches in the future. Girona defeat to Bilbao did seem very surprising, Michel fleet suffered its third defeat this season. I think it will be very difficult for Girona to win the La Liga trophy because Los Blancos are still appearing consistently at the moment.

The possibility of Barcelona moving up to second place in the standings is very open, Xavi fleet is only 2 points behind Girona. It would be very sad if Girona performance continues to decline in the future, they have struggled hard from the start of the season to manage to sit in the top four of the standings for a long time. Even though their competition with Madrid has now subsided at the top of the standings, they must try to maintain their position from being chased by Barcelona and ATM.

Next week Girona will face Rayo, where they have a big chance to secure full points. The challenge is that Rayo managed to hold Madrid to a draw in the previous match, and they must try to create a turning point in performance.

There's still a long way to go and it's overconfident to say the season is over now.
I support Madrid to win this season but with quite a lot of matches remaining and Madrid's schedule is still quite busy, it could disrupt the good rhythm they are currently building.
Madrid are now the favorites especially after Girona did not get good enough results in the last 3 matches they ran of course this is a matter that benefits Madrid but their Gap can still be caught up if only complacent now, therefore Madrid must continue to focus so as not to be complacent with the difference in points now considering that there could be a problem that does occur and requires Madrid to experience inconsistency which of course this can be a serious thing .

Girona is increasingly having difficulty maintaining their best form recently and they have lost 8 points in the last 3 matches in a row. Barcelona, ​​which is ranked 3rd, must take advantage of this opportunity to narrow the points gap, so Xavi needs to maximize the good potential of his players to win every match.

Of course Barcelona must improve because they still have the opportunity to compete with Real Madrid even though the two have a difference of 8 points. The next opponent is Getafe, but the match against Napoli is a tiring match which may affect their performance.

Currently, Real Madrid and Girona are only separated by 6 points. meanwhile, the La Liga competition still has 13 matches remaining until the end of the season. while Barcelona is 8 points adrift of Real Madrid. well, as you said. if Madrid stumbles, let alone slips in several of their matches. then the competition for the La Liga trophy will be exciting again. make no mistake, it is not impossible for something like that to happen. If in the last 13 matches Madrid suffered several defeats, this would provide an opportunity for teams below their ranking. moreover, Don Carlo must divide his focus on the Champions League.

Which means, Real Madrid must be increasingly focused and work hard to maintain their ranking at the top of the La Liga standings. If you think the Belingham factor is really needed, for me overall Madrid players have to work together to produce the match they want. referring to the match against Rayo, Rayo actually often makes things difficult for teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. plus, Don Carlo changed his pattern to 4-2-3-1, in which Bellingham was absent in that match. That's why Madrid didn't use the 4-3-1-2 pattern. apart from that, several Real Madrid players were absent due to injury and Carvahal was given a red card. so, for this reason Don Carlo's task is very much needed in organizing his team's tactics and strategies for the next match.

Real Madrid has a higher chance to win the trophy of La Liga because Girona is getting worse. Girona is the only competitor for the race of the title, but they failed to maintain their good performance. No doubt that Real Madrid is the only candidate for the champion of La Liga this season. However, since there are still some remaining matches, Real Madrid is still not winning La Liga yet. It is not the right time to say Real Madrid as the winner. 

It is a great season for Real Madrid. Although they failed to sign a proper player for replacing the role of Benzema, Real Madrid still can win the trophy of La Liga. We must appreciate Ancelotti that he knows well how to maintain the performance of Real Madrid. Even if they have no perfect squad, Ancelotti knows how to optimize the existing players.

I don't put too much hope Into the club Atletico Madrid for the weekends, they should be with tired legs and I'm not so sure if they can do the same way they did with Las Palmas.
Algeria are struggling and trying to device means to get out of the relegation,  Mark me, it won't be easily won if they're to go soft on Atletico Madrid. My pick for this game would be a win or draw for  Atletico Madrid honestly.

Barcelona just ended  them game against Napoli and couldn't win the game, trying  to catch up Girona and maybe Real Madrid if they can still hope, they'd go up to the second position with such performance.
But they'd have to sit up In the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid will play Almeria this weekend, and Almeria is the team that is at the bottom of the standings. This is a good match for Atletico Madrid because it will definitely be easy to win. For gamblers, I prefer to put everything in favor of Atletico Madrid for this match. They will have a lot to gain when the match is over, and Atletico Madrid are the winners.

For Barcelona, at least they tried as hard as possible to get a draw because, actually, Barcelona could have won this match, but in the 75th minute, Osimhen managed to penetrate Barcelona's defense and get a goal until the match was finished and ended in a draw. At least this is a better thing than someone losing and causing a loss to one of the parties.

Girona recent decline in performance has certainly opened up greater opportunities for Real Madrid to win the title. Girona has not been able to compete further with Real Madrid because the season is still quite long but Girona has given up the fight for the title. For this reason, the candidate for the strongest team is definitely Real Madrid for this season, especially since Barcelona is also currently unstable in their performance so there are no obstacles that are too strong for Real Madrid this season.

Even though Real Madrid will lose points in the remaining matches this season, I think they are still very strong favorites to become champions. For teams below Real Madrid, they still have a chance to win the title, but their chances are quite small. Well, if Real madrid succeeds in becoming champions this season, it is very likely that Bellingham will be quite a happy player because in the first season he has shown his sharpness in scoring goals and will also win the trophy that he probably dreams of.

Yeah I think so, Atletico Madrid has lost a few points lately and they want to immediately secure the place in the Champions League, currently Atletico Madrid is in the 4th place and Athletic Bilbao in the 5th place with 2 points behind this means that Atletico Madrid is completely not safe therefore they must defeat Almeria in the upcoming matches.

For this reason, the candidate for the strongest team is definitely Real Madrid for this season, especially since Barcelona is also currently unstable in their performance so there are no obstacles that are too strong for Real Madrid this season.

Girona does not have deep player resource like Real Madrid and Barcelona or even Athletico Madrid. Their coach and players don't have experience to compete for a league title so it is logic to see they fail to build up a solid plan for a long season. Their players also lack of ability to decrease intensity of playing when they already have good advantage to win a match. They chase for big wins whenever they can and forget that big or minimal win, it only helps them to get three points similarly.

Real Madrid are leading the league and they have so big chance to win La Liga as Girona are quite far from Real Madrid level to beat Real Madrid in this dual fighting.

Even though Real Madrid will lose points in the remaining matches this season, I think they are still very strong favorites to become champions. For teams below Real Madrid, they still have a chance to win the title, but their chances are quite small. Well, if Real madrid succeeds in becoming champions this season, it is very likely that Bellingham will be quite a happy player because in the first season he has shown his sharpness in scoring goals and will also win the trophy that he probably dreams of.

Other clubs will have to hope that Real Madrid will go very far in Champions League like semi finals and even final. Champions League potentially cause problems, lack of concentration of Real Madrid on La Liga. It can help other clubs have some advantages in La Liga but they must have nearly perfect performances in last matches to beat Real Madrid as temporary point differences are already big and safe enough for Real Madrid.
