La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Raflesia]

It looks like I'm going to lose my multi with Madrid's final score this time although I do hope Madrid can make a difference in the time remaining now.

There was still hope as Madrid managed to level the scores thanks to good work from Modric and Brahim Diaz who played a great pass to the unguarded Vini.
The score is now 2-2 and the game is entering crucial time now but indeed with the performance they have now i think Madrid still have a chance to make the victory theirs in this match because after all with the dominance of the attack they have and with the speed of some of the players i think this crucial time can still be used as an opportunity to make a comeback.
Now Madrid is still in a race against time but indeed if this match eventually ends in a draw too although it is a little upsetting in terms of betting but at least they did not lose points in this match.

There were a number of situations that could have gone in Madrid's favor in this match but the referee's decision was a little difficult to accept, especially with what he did in the final seconds when Jude scored, which was disturbing to think about and because it was still in play and it was a tension in the match after the game ended.

Honestly, I regret the referee's decision in this match because I think it was appropriate for Madrid to protest because after all it was the last chance they had but instead it was closed with a referee's decision that was considered detrimental to them.
Madrid had to accept a draw and Jude who had to rest again due to the red card he got was a bit detrimental but there was nothing that could be done fortunately in today's match Girona lost again which made a glimmer of hope appear for Barcelona who could possibly get 3 points against Bilbao.

After a really debatable decision at the end of the Valencia - Real Madrid match I was wondering if Girona would manage to benefit from this situation. But they also lost against Mallorca by 1-0 today.    Winning this game would have helped Girona drop the gap to only 4 points. It would have still been difficult to become champions of course.

Girona wanted to close some points gap but they were unable to do that because they are not lucky today maybe because they are plying away from home or due to fatigue.
I wasn’t expecting a massive win before the beginning of the match because I know their statistics especially when Mallorca is playing Girona at home, but I expect a draw or a win from Girona because of their form this season, yet they lost the match. At this point, I am giving Real Madrid my hope of winning the Laliga title this season, but I am optimistic that Girona will qualify to Champions League next season.

[Adams0001]

I think, Valencia Played well more than Real Madrid in this match because they were able to scored the first goal at 27 minutes in the first half and their strength didn't drop down and they still scored second goal at 30 minutes to lead Real Madrid 2-0, and Real Madrid struggle to scored one goal before the end of the first half. Despite Real Madrid equalized the goals at  76 minutes before they started playing defending game to stop Valencia not to win the match and they made the match to ended up 2-2 to share the points. I don't think, the red card that made Real Madrid not to win the match because from the beginning of the match Valencia took a good domination till the end of the match to make their coach feel good.

The red card had no effect on the match because Bellingham received it in the 99th minute of the match, and it was the end of the match. The game was equal, it’s hard for me to say that any of the teams had the advantage, after the second goal Real clearly wanted to take advantage of the psychological advantage and win this match, but Valencia was able to hold them back. Overall a very good match, Valencia deserved this draw and Real Madrid are still top of the table.

In any case, Real Madrid will still win the trophy, because if you watch that match, you will know that the referee doesn't want Real Madrid to win that match, but sadly, Vini jr put more effort on the game and had possibilities to draw the match, the red card they handed Bellingham I believe he deserves it since he is not supposed to shout at the referee, and Madrid is still leading the league which is sufficient for Ancelotti. Girona lost 1-0 against Mallorca last evening, giving Madrid confidence that no one will be able to stop them, and Barcelona is playing a draw game, and I believe the match will conclude in a draw or Barcelona will win the match, It is an opportunity for Barcelona to win the match and catch Girona in second place, as they lost today. Valencia performs well in the first half, but Madrid takes over in the second half, but the referee opted to cheat in the game. How can the ball be on attack and you decide to blow the final game while the ball is in the air.

[logfiles]

Girona seems to have lost its momentum after appearing impressive for so long, now approaching the end of the season, Michel squad has suffered another defeat against Mallorca. It is recorded that in the last five matches, Girona was only able to achieve one victory.

It was bound to happen. I have seen this kind of thing before. Not only in la Liga, but also in the like of the English Premier League. Girona were very impressive in the first half of the season, but they have or had two problems
1. Very thin squad
2. Inexperience to with stand pressure from the Big teams.

Personally, I can't blame them. They did their best.

[ginsan]

It was a shame that Girona lost points to a team like Mallorca, even though Girona controlled this match, but they were unlucky and Real Madrid suffered a draw due to being robbed by the referee. It is true that this is Barcelona's opportunity to catch points from Real Madrid and overtake Girona in second place, but looking at their opponent Bilboa, it doesn't feel like it's easy for Barcelona to get three points, let alone playing away from home. .

However, I don't agree with your statement that Girona doesn't deserve to be in second place, what is your reason for saying that?
Girona this season has been very impressive and even managed to beat Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, isn't that enough to say that they don't deserve to be in second place?

Well, that's what really regrets Girona because they wasted the opportunity to reduce the gap in points with Real madrid.
Indeed, if you look at their opponents, of course the opponents that Girona faced were quite weak, but in the game on the field, Mallorca were able to take advantage of opportunities to score goals. And they were able to maintain their lead until the end of the match.
Indeed, Girona game in the second half was quite good, they had many golden opportunities, but in this match Dovbyk failed to take advantage of the opportunity to score a goal.

In the last 5 matches in Laliga, Girona was only able to record 2 wins and suffered 3 defeats. Of course, their recent decline in performance has made them fail to compete with Real madrid. For Barcelona, ​​of course they have the opportunity to take second place from Girona if Barcelona succeeds in beating Bilbao in today match.

In 2023 Girona was rocking and with the new year coming, bad results start to pop-up which continues to affect the team position in the table. With that defeat against Mallorca, they allowed Real Madrid to increase the gap with a point and gave Barcelona to take their position once they wik against Athletic Bilbao.
The only positive news for Girona players and fans, is that Barcelona result is still 0-0 vs Bilbao with almost 15 minutes left from the end of the game including injury time.

The weekend is not a good one for most clubs in La Liga especially the first three clubs on the table. Real Madrid managed to draw their match yesterday, and they were denied their last goal to win the game. Today Girona has lost 1-0 to Mallorca keeping Real Madrid in a way not to get panicked.

If the game ends in a goalless draw it means that Barcelona will be third on the  table, because they are on 58th points, and Girona is on  59 points. This makes the title more tough for the Barcelona and Girona to know who will be the second. The first is certain that Madrid will win the league, this season.

[skarais]

Barcelona is still struggling to win the away match against Bilbao. They look very likely to fail to win this match because Bilbao is performing well at home. Barcelona have failed to take advantage of several good opportunities so far, so I don't think they can win if they are not really able to take advantage of their good opportunities.

If Barcelona fails, then it means regretting it as much as possible. They have difficulty taking advantage of opportunities when other teams fail to get full points and this will ultimately make Barcelona fail to compete closely with Real Madrid at the top of the standings. Pedri and De Jong seem to be injured in this match, it is a big loss for Barcelona.

[Majestic-milf]

Valencia are taking the lead over Real Madrid and I'm sure most of the real fans didn't see this coming ESPECIALLY now that Jude Bellingham is in the game. For a club who need the three points, they seem relaxed to me and even though Valencia can be a pain in the neck, I least expected Los Blancos to loose their guard this early. I just hope they get their acts right and turn the game in their favor else if it ends this way, the point gap between them and Girona will reduce to five points and honestly now is not the time to take chances.

The match between Valencia and Madrid has now entered a break, at this time Valencia appeared quite suurprising by being able to score the opening goal in the 27th minute and they even continued to try to increase the tempo of the game which in the end surprised Madrid, and in just a short time they were able to create a second goal to take the lead in the 30th minute, so far Madrid has only been able to get one goal back when the  first time ended and made the score 2-1 for Valencia , the match is not finished, but to be honest, I was quite surprised by Valencia attacks which could easily break through Madrid  defense so far, Madrid controlled the ball almost 71% and their attacks were actually quite dangerous for Valencia but Madrid superior possession of the ball was not commensurate with their defense today.

The scond half has started, and madrid immediately took the initiative to attack, I think maybe later Madrid will be able to get out of the presure and score a goal to equalize the score, but for now girona fans are certainly enjoying the match more and their hope that the match will end soon .

At the end of the day, thanks to Vinicius Madrid were able to secure a point. I didn't really see that game but was following the updates but I guess they played poorly for such a team like Valencia to take the lead so early. Maybe they are this less concerned about winning as they pass Girona with six points, and from the looks of things, the title contenders aren't even serious because if they were they would have struggled to win the game to atleast close the gap a bit.
 I'm still of the mind that Real Madrid should not think they have the title in the bag cause anything can happen. We are seeing fierce competition between Barca, Atletico Madrid and Girona so they need to put in more work.

[GbitG]

Atletic Club or Bilbao as I know it just beat Atletico Madrid without mercy in the 2nd leg of the Copa Del Rey semi-final.
In the Copa Del Rey, Bilbao met Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals because Bilbao managed to get rid of Barcelona.
Nevertheless, my feeling is that I want Barcelona to win against Bilbao because Girona does not deserve to be in second place.

Hmm, I was also thinking about the fact that Athletic Club is just now in too much form and they will be doing all of their best to get the chance to score. Despite this, Barcelona is looking better than it was previously. But I think possiblely this match could possibly be drawn because both players are looking strong. 
 
Barcelona need to place more emphasis on bringing the match to a win. Otherwise, Barcelona will be behind and come to Giro Girona in second place. Barcelona's team play looks a little bit improved from the previous match. But now the match will depend on who expresses the performance. The match is still 0-0 and both team are attacking each other with great force. But no one is seeing the hope of goal. The rest are waiting to see what happens.

[boltz]

The performance of Girona's attacking players was very slow today. This is why they had to be defeated. The team increased the truck badly. They have dropped points in four of their last five matches. Sociedad drew with it. Girona lost against Real Madrid, Athletic Club and Mallorca.

Real Madrid dropped points yesterday and Girona failed to close the gap on the league leaders by loosing thir game to Mallorca, this gives a very huge opportunity to Barcelona to move to second if they win the game.
 Barcelona's line up for the game is very good, Felix and Yamal start from the bench and will probably come in the second half. If Barcelona fail to win this game, it will mean no hope for Barcelona this season to catch up to Real Madrid and win the league.

True. The only winner from this battle could have been Barcelona but yet they are 0-0 with Bilbao with only 3 minutes before the end so a draw should be the final result here and a big chance lost by them.

Pleased to see Betis back on top 6 as this team showed that they deserve to play in Europa or Conference League but battle with Sociedad won't be easy , especially if somehow Valencia will make their way to top6 because we clearly saw how good Valencia really is when they played against Real Madrid.

[Weawant]

Barcelona performed really poorly against atletico Bilbao and this game was supposed to be an important game for them where they were expected to win and get three points with which they could have been able to strengthen their position to the second spot on the table but they drew and have to share points with Bilbao who is at the fifth position with fifty points, Bilbao actually performed much better as compared to the performance of Barcelona and it Really gat me thinking why xavi decide to use the tactics he did used today because he has applied this same tactics and it hasn't worked for him in previous games, the moment he made a change and brought in yamal there was some good changes in the movement around that wing, I then had to imagine what this guy would have done if he was brought in early enough but then bringing him quiet late has been xavis style.

This also applies to Felix, the usage of your players when playing against such teams as this will have a very good effect on the team and help the team to get the kind of desired results they aim to get but then it has always appeared that xavi has rather go with his tactics than change it, when playing against energetic teams like this the younger players will help a long way.

[TelolettOm]

.................
This was also the funniest thing we can see. What's the matter with the referee?
No wonder Real Madrid became very disappointed and angry with this match, especially with various refereeing decisions, because it did cause controversy. Maybe we have just been shown this very strange referee's decision. New history? ha ha
.....................

A very controversial match. because the referee blew the whistle after the match when real madrid was in an attacking position and made a gastric pass which was executed into a goal scored by jude bellingham. this caused real madrid players to protest which had the effect of getting a red card.

The referee, Jesus Gil Manzano, has also given controversial decisions before. Like the connection with Messi, Barcelona, and several big stars of the league. So, the incident at Mestalla added to the list of controversies he created. And this is one of Ancelotti's responses:

"This has never happened to me before. We will still sleep well tonight; we are La Liga leaders. There is not much to say; something unprecedented happened. Bellingham didn't insult the referee. He told him in English, 'It's a f*cking goal.'"

Bilbao vs Barcelona: 0  -   0
Real Madrid and Girona failed to get full points in the match and  surely Barcelona should be benefited from this situation. But, in fact, Barcelona also couldn't take any advantage of this situation.

The game was full of surprises as Real Madrid didn't give up until the got an equaliser through the same man who got the first goal for them V Junior, for the record the Real Madrid team made a defensive mistake in the first half so the home team took advantage of it to score two early goals but thanks for V Junior for being the saviour of the team as they shared 1:1 point to keep the league title hope alive.

Real Madrid came back in the game in the second half but it was very difficult for them to get the third goal but doesn't made them unserious, hope you watched the game today cause Girona lost from away and Barcelona was held to a goalless draw by Bilbao.

[GbitG]

Barcelona vs Athletic club:
 
The match is over, and Barcelona gets back disappointed. The match was so tough. Bath Club are doing well and impressively, but no one found the back of the net. It was just disappointing for the Xavi and their that they didn't seek any solution or chance to get the victory for 2nd place. Naw Girona are on the second place in the league table despite Real Madrid being at the top, and now Real Madrid have made much more of a difference with the 2nd place club. Anyone who knows the thing knows that Real Madrid have nothing more to stop them from being league champions. Now it's will be totally depends on Real Madrid how they will be trying to figure out all the points for getting back to the Champions.
 
What did you think guys? it is now sure whether real Madrid are the champions of La Liga or not.

Barcelona is still struggling to win the away match against Bilbao. They look very likely to fail to win this match because Bilbao is performing well at home. Barcelona have failed to take advantage of several good opportunities so far, so I don't think they can win if they are not really able to take advantage of their good opportunities.

Pedri and De Jong seem to be injured in this match, it is a big loss for Barcelona.

The target on shoot statistics are the same but the chances are better it is indeed from Barcelona but they do not take good advantage but that is the reality that Barcelona is now difficult to compete with Real Madrid they will not be able to catch up because for me this team has started to falter.

Girona didn't get a point for losing
Barcelona drew with a point, the same with Real Madrid who drew with controversy but interestingly their points are still far to go.

Pedri and De Jong's injuries add to the bad record for Barcelona because some players are important sometimes when some players are absent Barcelona's game is less aggressive again.

The description of Week 24 of La Liga is full of competition, Atletico will face Sevilla, while Bilbao will face Almeria. On paper these two teams will secure full points, ATM competition with Bilbao to win tickets to the UCL is very interesting. Three points adrift is still very possible to be trimmed, ATM must be wary of Bilbao improving performance in La Liga, they could be evicted if they lose points when facing Sevilla.

I also didn't expect ATM to lose in the Copa del Rey, Bilbao this season was as surprising as Girona. However, there is still one more leg for ATM to prove its capacity, and of course they don't want to end the season empty-handed. On the other hand, it looks like ATM can lock in tickets to the UCL this season, even though their performance is a little unstable, almost the same as Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid finds themselves in a tight race with Bilbao for a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League. Week 24 of La Liga promises to be filled with excitement and competition, particularly with key matchups like Atletico Madrid facing Sevilla and Bilbao taking on Almeria. With only three points separating them, every match becomes crucial in their pursuit of securing qualification. They must remain vigilant against potential slip-ups, especially against Sevilla that is fighting to gain their form back.

The unexpected loss in the Copa del Rey might have been disappointing for Atletico Madrid, but they still have an opportunity to showcase their capabilities in the remaining matches. They should focus on delivering strong performances and achieving positive results. Despite their occasional fluctuations in form, Atletico Madrid appears well-positioned to secure a Champions League spot.

Girona didn't get a point for losing
Barcelona drew with a point, the same with Real Madrid who drew with controversy but interestingly their points are still far to go.

This was unlike Girona because watching there performance today surprises me and also seeing how they miss all there scoring opportunities against Mallorca, funny enough they even had more performance and chances than Mallorca because they dominated the match very well but the only thing they lack was the ability to score, I was even shock because the Girona I use to know is very consistent in terms of scoring, however it would have been very good for them if they had win this match because they would have gotten more higher points than Barcelona on the table because Barcelona also draw there match today.

[Slow death]

In this round there were results that caused surprise, the first of them was the Real Madrid game against Valencia, I bet on Real Madrid because I was convinced that as many good Real Madrid players who were injured healed, so it would be a game in which Real Madrid I would play with full force then they would win the game, but from what I could see, Real Madrid couldn't win, they had difficulty, once again they showed how they need a player like Mbappe, there are people who kept arguing that Real Madrid don't need Mbappe , but the last 5 games show the opposite with real madrid having only managed 2 wins in the last 5 games, I usually say that real madrid is at the top of the league because barcelona is a shit team

If Barcelona were strong then Real Madrid would be in second place and it's not good for Real Madrid to depend on luck and there is a difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona: coach. while real madrid has a good coach who doesn't change the composition of the best team, on the other hand we have the barcelona coach who is always changing the composition of the best team and with that makes the team draw or lose, if barcelona has good coach, they can win a lot, because they have good players, while real madrid has a good coach but lacks a good striker which could be solved with the arrival of mbappe

Atlético Madrid won thanks to an own goal, although in the game the victory is what matters, I still see Atletico Madrid as a team that could start thinking about fighting for the title, every season they settle for positions below number 2 and in this one we will even go to number 4, something close. Another game that shocked me was the Girona game, it seems that the Girona are going back to the past, in 5 games they only won 1 game, had 3 defeats and 1 draw, this is something terrible for a team that since the beginning of the season was going well and now that there are only a few games left until the end of the season they are declining very quickly

[bering]

In the last 5 matches in Laliga, Girona was only able to record 2 wins and suffered 3 defeats. Of course, their recent decline in performance has made them fail to compete with Real madrid. For Barcelona, ​​of course they have the opportunity to take second place from Girona if Barcelona succeeds in beating Bilbao in today match.

In 2023 Girona was rocking and with the new year coming, bad results start to pop-up which continues to affect the team position in the table. With that defeat against Mallorca, they allowed Real Madrid to increase the gap with a point and gave Barcelona to take their position once they wik against Athletic Bilbao.
The only positive news for Girona players and fans, is that Barcelona result is still 0-0 vs Bilbao with almost 15 minutes left from the end of the game including injury time.

You says is true that since entering 2024 Girona performance is starting not too consistent and since January this year Girona have already to gets 3 loses including the loses from Mallorca today and compared to 2023 at that time Girona only gets 1 loses so these records is proven Girona failed to managed their consistency in this year but they are lucky because Barcelona only able to playing draw from Bilbao so this make Girona still at 2nd place but they only have 1 difference point above to Barcelona

And about the match Bilbao vs Barcelona before the match begin i was beware of Bilbao because this team was very consistent compared to their performance last season and now it is true that after in the first meeting Barcelona lost and today they can only get a draw from Bilbao and this result is make them failed to taking over 2nd place from Girona and for other hand after several times gets poor results Atletico Madrid finally can return to the winning ways again today that they can beat Betis with narrow scores and although playing without Griezmann but Atletico Madrid still can able to performing well but i can see the combination between Morata and Depay was became an the players who hard to guarded by Betis players today and the result is they can bringing Atletico Madrid to collect 3 points from this match
