La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Palakka]

I personally think Girona is running out of steam lately and I'm not so sure that they will be able to keep that 2nd position until the end of LaLiga but I could see them finishing in front of Atl.Madrid and catching an amazingly UCL spot for next year. If this happens and we see Girona in UCL , I think the process of implementing Super League will be closer and closer to be real  

I also think the same thing at the moment and it looks like it will be difficult for Girona to be title contenders again after the defeat they got this week, Girona performance which was previously quite tough and projected to make it difficult for Madrid until the end of the season turns out they are slowly slowing down and strangely it is precisely when they face a team that is considered weaker than Girona as happened when they played Mallorca,  So far Mallorca is a team that is close to the relegation zone and in ability is still very far from Girona who are now in the top 4, but it turned out to be very easy for Mallorca to beat Girona and close Girona chances of winning this season.

madrid has now left barcelona with 8 points and also Girona which is now 7 points, Madrid chances of winning La Liga this season are certainly very wide open especially now they will only face small teams before finally the El Clasicco match is played on April 21 so it is likely that Madrid will be further away from Barcelona and Girona who will relatively face strong teams in the next few weeks.

If this happens and we see Girona in UCL , I think the process of implementing Super League will be closer and closer to be real 

The recent form of Girona might not be as strong as earlier in the season. Maybe they are experiencing fatigue physically and mentally due to their lack of squad depth and constant pressure from Real Madrid. The race for the top positions in the league is often unpredictable, and Girona may still has the opportunity to regain momentum and secure a high finish.

Finishing ahead of traditional powerhouses like Atlético Madrid and clinching a UEFA Champions League (UCL) spot would indeed be a remarkable achievement for Girona. Not only would it demonstrate their competitiveness on the domestic stage, but it would also elevate their status on the European scene. If Girona were to secure a UCL spot under such circumstances, it could potentially fuel discussions about the need for reforms in European football competitions. The inclusion of a smaller club like Girona in the UCL could be seen as evidence that the current format is inclusive enough and that there is room for clubs outside the traditional European powerhouses.

If this happens and we see Girona in UCL , I think the process of implementing Super League will be closer and closer to be real 

Girona dropped 11 points in the last 5 games and they are still ranked 2nd. On the one hand, this shows that they have obviously been doing very well during the early and mid season, but it also shows how bad Barcelona is this season and Atletico Madrid as well.

But I doubt that Girona will give away the Champions League qualification. It is still a 9 points gap between them and 5th position, so a lot of bad results would have to follow in order for Girona to drop out of the top 4. It. doesn't look all that realistic to me although of course, if they continue this trend, then this could end in a last minute mess up.

But so far the teams behind Girona frequently drop points as well. There is no perfect team among the top six teams at the moment. All of them are dropping points here and there and I would like to see a new team join the Champions league. It is time for a trend reversal for them. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are still waiting to play against Girona. It could be a close call in the end.

Well, as discussed earlier Barcelona let the situation unfavorable for them for too long which made the match in the end a situation that they could not overcome which made the match that they should have been able to get full points instead it did not end well as they only won 1 point in this match.

Their possession of the ball Barcelona was very good in the match in this match but in terms of opportunities this became a monotonous match in the end because Barcelona could not get a good chance even Bilbaou who only had a possession of 39 percent could keep up with them in terms of opportunities.


Even though this is a pretty good opportunity for Barcelona especially with the draw that Madrid got and Girona's defeat in the previous match, this should be maximized well but unfortunately in the end they also did not get full points in this match.

I think there is a reason why Barcelona couldn't take advantage of that match to win. De Jong and Pedri have been two important players in the Barcelona squad in the last few seasons, so when they come out in the middle of an ongoing match it is clear that Barcelona has lost a lot of creativity in their game. Ilkay Gundogan, Christensen and Fermin Lopez could help, but Barcelona is increasingly unbalanced without Pedri and De Jong.

Barcelona and Bilbao didn't have many goal chances throughout the match and I would say it was a boring match. Joao Cancelo almost scored, but Bilbao were lucky because they were still able to save the ball. The standings have not changed, Barcelona remains behind Girona with a gap of 1 point and 8 points from Real Madrid.

[Queentoshi]

Yeah barcelona plays boring football as well as bilbao. It's not even worthy to watch it and i wasted a lot of my time to see that two clubs to play backpass very often without any intention to win the game. I don't understand why these clubs were playing so passive in this game.
It feels they have no willingness to win the game and this is also the main reason barcelona lost a chance to cut the gap. Another opportunity wasted by barcelona. Im not feeling satisfied with the result from barcelona vs bilbao.

I think that Barcelona actually came out to get victory, but the two early injuries to Frenkie De Jong and Pedri may have altered the intended pattern of play for the coach. Asides them not being able to win the game, their biggest worry will also be the two players who got injured, players who are very important to the team. Barcelona remains third as a result of their failure, that opportunity will surely be regretted. If Barcelona do not win their next game, they may even drop to fourth position because after Mallorca, they play Atletico Madrid who are just three points behind them.

[ZAINmalik75]

Yes currently the teams at the top of the points table are playing very badly due to which they are losing matches and drawing. Real Madrid, who played brilliantly against Balenciaga, were unable to secure a win, instead attacking the match until the last minute to turn it into a draw. Also it was very disappointing for Girona as they lost the match against Mallorca it was very sad for them they had a chance to get to the top of the points table they lost the points because of the loss. Moreover, Barcelona had a chance but they could not take advantage of it and instead drew in the match with Atlético Club. Although Barcelona tried to score until the last minute, they could not prevent the opposition from scoring. Real Madrid will comfortably top the points table this week with Barcelona and Girona dropping points in matches and I think it will be very difficult for these two teams to catch them.

Definitely all the top three teams have played their matches poorly but In my opinion, Real Madrid would have won if these people were not abused, That is, in the match against Valencia, Real Madrid almost won the match, but in the end, the referee abused Real Madrid by declaring Jude Bellagham's goal disallowed. Guy's you can clearly see  that the ball was in the air when the referee blew the whistle. If you don't make a referee mistake, then I am sure that Real Madrid will not draw the match. but anyway Real are still on to of the La Liga and beyond any doubt they will be the champions of the league.
 
Besides that Barcelona also drew the match and failed to get the chance for second place and also failed to get three points against Athletic club. But now they are in 3rd place and Girona is one point behind Barcelona on the second-place table.

The standings have not changed, Barcelona remains behind Girona with a gap of 1 point and 8 points from Real Madrid.

Well there are several reasons when Barcelona became more monotonous from the start of the first half because indeed with the loss of Pedri and De Jong in the first half indirectly this made them seem to lose control of the midfield.
Even though in this match they managed to get possession as usual but the absence of a good creator like De Jong made this a little more complicated for them which made the score unchangeable in this match.

Now, the impact of yesterday's match is actually not only short-term but long-term because apart from them failing to make a difference by shifting Girona to second place in the standings, they also have to deal with the injury of these 2 players.
There have been reports that De Jong's injury is a sprained lateral ligament in his right ankle while Pedri has an injury to his quadriceps muscle which should keep both players in the medical room for over a month. This is a big blow for Barcelona as they are still in desperate need of these players especially with their creative midfielder Gavi still not sure when he will recover.

I agree with you. Barcelona's midfield is a bit weak this season. Pedri, De Jong and Gundogan are talented players no doubt. But they are not doing well. Barcelona's attacking players have also underperformed due to not getting enough support from the midfield. Lewandowski can play well but Raphinha's performance is erratic. Barcelona needs more experienced striker at the moment. The team has become completely dependent on Lewa's performance.

This match was really boring. The players of both teams played defensively. They don't try to attack too much. Probably both teams wanted to draw the match. Barcelona are well aware that they have no chance of winning the title this season. So Barcelona will be happy to qualify for the Champions League.

Before the second leg of the last 16 of the Champions League, Barcelona basically has one important match against Mallorca at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. Barcelona certainly hopes for the best before the Champions League match, so maximizing the existing players is the last option Xavi has for his team.

[el kaka22]

I think the obvious troubles of Barcelona is because they are not feeling like a team, they are all individual talented players and that is a good thing for a team, they are all amazing players there is no doubt about that, put them all to a team that they fit better and suddenly they all play much better. However, it is quite clear that they are not playing well as a team and that is their problem.

I feel like we should probably consider them not doing anything crazy, and this season just let the season end. I think they will find some players who would be  better at the end which should be something that may take a bit of time, but fire some players, sell some others and just get players that fit the team a lot better next season.

[borovichok]

Both Catalan clubs failed to learn from Real Madrid's draw against Valencia. Barcelona's draw with Bilbao and Girona's loss to Mallorca were unexpected, especially given the risks
I think Barcelona missed out. Their track record and squad depth suggest they can beat Bilbao. Girona's erratic season makes their situation more understandable, but these are the matches you can't lose to finish high. These teams need to improve. Even with draws, Real Madrid is comfortably ahead, and Barcelona and Girona must improve or they'll fall behind

Real Madrid is in form, they become straightforward in winning matches, they are first on the table and is bigger than all these elite teams, they stand tall enough to be earning the desirable points. There's no room for relenting efforts because the headcoach, Carlo Ancelotti is always there to strengthen the performance of the squad and losing is definitely not an option for them. Los Blancos will continue to fly in every angle they found themselves on the table. But they sometime encounter challenges, I believed it's due to their injuries, failing to win the necessary games.

I only envision Real Madrid winning the La Liga title this season, with Barcelona, Girona, and Atletico Madrid finishing in the top four. This is an extremely fascinating duel put on by these astounding clubs. Real Madrid should brace themselves because the work ahead is difficult to deal with and the only way to win is by remaining uniform throughout. What is happening to Girona in its current form? They lack the necessary motivation to win, and this was the same club that was desperate and fighting for a win. Girona is a fine instance of elite competition that could not be perpetuated.

Real Madrid will almost certainly win the La Liga title. What I imagine in a situation like that is who will be runner up or who will finish in second place in the standings for this season. It's not Barcelona, but Girona that I imagine will be in that position because by ending this season in second place, Girona will have its own history in La Liga.

Recently, Girona's performance has been declining. But I think Girona will be able to end the decline in performance in the next match or the remaining matches this season.
Later, in the next season, when this season they are able to end the season in second place, next season will make La Liga a competition that can change the habits of who wins the title.

It's not Barcelona, but Girona that I imagine will be in that position because by ending this season in second place, Girona will have its own history in La Liga.

Later, in the next season, when this season they are able to end the season in second place, next season will make La Liga a competition that can change the habits of who wins the title.

Now I don't think Barcelona and Girona will compete closely for the title. Both teams were unable to take advantage of the opportunity to narrow the points gap when Real Madrid did not win the match. Barcelona are clearly in a slump and they don't seem to be in much better spirits, Girona are also in decline and are not like they were at the start of the season.

Maybe it's time for Barcelona to throw in the towel for the title after they failed with many opportunities to close the points gap with Real Madrid, clearly this is an unbelievable condition regarding Barcelona. Lewandowski was not as good as last season, Raphinha and Joao Felix were good at times, the same about Lamine Yamal. Pedri and De Jong's injuries will certainly affect the team's performance, so Barcelona's main focus will probably only be about qualifying for the Champions League rather than fighting for the title.

[kro55]

Firstly Girona was not a strong team. Girona's performance this season has surprised us all. They have consistently won matches and have been able to hold the top spot in the points table for a long time. However, Girona's squad lacked experienced players. Although we can play well for a long time because of the coach's match strategy, we can see the deterioration of the team's performance in recent times. They have no chance of grabbing the top spot in the points table. They have won only one match in their last 5 matches.

In the upcoming matches I predict Girona will fail to pick up points against Real Betis, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Villarreal. As Girona have performed in the last few matches, they will lose against these teams. Although they have been able to maintain dominance in the match, the attacking performance has been comparatively slow.

It seems that Girona itself does not believe that they can compete with Real, after Real lost points in the match with Valencia, Girona, instead of taking advantage of this, lost the match. Apparently Girona is in decline, out of the last 5 matches, they lost three matches and won only one game. Barcelona, by the way, also failed to take advantage of this and played to a draw with Athletic Bilbao.

Despite the draw, Real managed to increase the difference to 7 points from Girona, I think Ancelotti should be pleased.

You are right. Girona fans never imagined that this team would do so well this season. will occupy the top spot in the table. Because we have seen Girona is a very weak team in the past seasons as well. The team was fighting hard to stay out of the relegation zone. So suddenly it was unimaginable that Girona would play so well this year. However, now we are getting the expected performance from Girona. The team has won only one match in the last 5 matches.

Real Madrid have drawn several matches but they are still in the safe zone. Because the performances of Girona and Barcelona are also erratic. And these two teams also lost points. So it is now easier for Madrid to hold the top spot.

Elite teams will continue to lose points this season but not all of them. Real Madrid humbled Girona and the condition they left them have been really struggle for them, their defeats means Girona are not balance to lift the title. Following the shocking defeats of Girona, it came unexpectedly and its weigh out of line because the top clubs will give threatening space to the elite ones. Girona fans will be disappointed following the current state of the club, they're completely lacking the necessary qualities to continue pushing excellent results in matches.

It's true, Barcelona immediately felt a big impact on their game after De Jong and Pedri were withdrawn not long after De Jong left. The good news is that they didn't lose to Bilbao because the home team didn't play as well against Atletico Madrid, but the bad news is that the two midfielders will miss the second leg of the Champions League against Napoli.

When Real Madrid got a draw, Girona lost, this time Barcelona also drew again, they should have been able to take advantage of this moment to catch up on points behind Real Madrid but unfortunately Barcelona did not take advantage of this opportunity well. Barcelona this season seems to no longer have a fighting mentality.

Correct. This draw was due to the Barcelona midfielders' less than optimal work, as if they didn't know where the opponent's goal was. Xavi's tactics are really strange. Barcelona used to be very strong in the midfield, but now in the midfield it seems like there are no players, often the ball from behind goes straight to the front with a long ball, indeed they control the ball but they control the ball at the back line. In the past, Barcelona players controlled the ball in midfield and then to the front line. Very striking difference.

Before the second leg of the last 16 of the Champions League, Barcelona basically has one important match against Mallorca at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. Barcelona certainly hopes for the best before the Champions League match, so maximizing the existing players is the last option Xavi has for his team.

Mallorca is currently on fire, they just beat Girona and previously beat Real Sociedad in the Copa Del Rey semifinals. Of course, this is not an easy opponent for Barcelona, with players like now it is not impossible that Barcelona will get another draw.

Malorca is a very weak team in the league. currently only ranked 15th in the standings. when meeting Barcelona what else Barcelona acts as the host, Malorca will have a hard time. moreover, Xavi as a coach will continue to want good results because this season is the last season to train Barcelona. after the end of the season Xavi left Barcelona.

[AakZaki]

It seems that De Jong and Pedri's injuries are making Barcelona difficult for the next match. Sadly, Pedri has just returned and he's injured again. It seems that the match against Athletic Bilbao was bad luck for them. Both players were injured and only got 1 point. They failed to capitalize on the opportunity to catch Girona's points. Because Girona lost again against Mallorca.  Surely this result is very favorable for Real Madrid.

I don't want to say much about Barcelona because I don't think they are very serious in La Liga this season. There are many things that have affected their performance this season and these things have not been able to be fixed until now. The team doesn't seem to have much motivation to win matches and that has been the case all season until Barcelona has never been able to improve its position in the standings.

Player injuries are the most influential thing on the team's overall performance, but the very bad financial conditions mean that Barcelona is forced to use young players who more or less have not improved much. Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, and several other young players can help in some matches, but their young players tend to be unstable and cannot always be relied on. But because of Barcelona's poor performance this season, Real Madrid should be grateful for that because they have no obstacles to winning the title this season.

It's obvious that Spain are jealous of Real Madrid, the officiating teams judgement are always harsh with them because of inferiority complex and how good the team is and that's why Real Madrid players are always rude to them, you don't have to be cruel and unprofessional because you are not upto a particular team standard, so much corruption must be going on in Laliga to be honest but despite all the manipulation, Real Madrid has a way it does stand out in every match.

I only envision Real Madrid winning the La Liga title this season, with Barcelona, Girona, and Atletico Madrid finishing in the top four.

Real Madrid draw a match, at first I thought it was an opportunity for Girona and Barcelona to come up in the table to challenge Real Madrid but luckily they loss two of their games and that put Real Madrid +1 away from them, isn't that miraculous to cheated and because yiu fear that competitors will come and meet you where you are only for them to lose their matches. The season is not yet over but Barcelona and Girona can't do much anymore.
