La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[ZAINmalik75]

We knew that Girona would not be able to stay at the top throughout the season, as a result their performance started to decrease and they fell down in the rankings. Barcelona has a big advantage this week, they can win the match tonight and take second place in the rankings. Mallorca is not a strong team, Girona will play against Osasuna and there is a possibility of losing points

Yeah sure that Girona has no more chance or potential to take advantage of second place at the league table. Initially, at the start of the season Giron had very good form and they are just dominating the league table despite And now they focus only on winning the match and not on getting 1st place despite Girona dominating the league in a very strong way but now they are eager to win only the match. But anyway if Barcelona has to succeed to get a chance for a victory then the 3 points will be bad because Barcelona will get second place and Girona will get 3rd rank. The match of Barcelona vs Mallorca is still continuing and no goal has been scored, so the final result is decided if Barcelona has failed to win the match, so Girona will be taken 2nd place, which will be a joy to watch for Girona and Girona fans. The match is continued; let's see what the final result is between them.

For Girona, winning the ticket Champions League is one of the most important things at the moment, regardless of where they will finish when the season ends. Girona gradual decline in performance made Barcelona lucky, because Xavi had the opportunity to bring his squad to finish in runner-up position. On paper, the Barcelona versus Mallorca match is fairly easy to guess, clearly Barcelona has a much higher chance of securing full points.

On the other hand, the Girona versus Osasuna match is also fairly easy to predict, Girona will most likely also be able to secure full points. In the last meeting, Girona managed to beat Osasuna 4-2. Acting as host will help Michel squad start to regain consistency, because in the last five matches Girona has lost a lot of points and was only able to win one match.

Not only is it important, it is a target they must achieve at the end of the season after Girona had a fantastic season this season. Míchel knows that winning the La Liga title is the most difficult thing for him and his team, but if they are able to maintain the consistency of their team's performance then Champions League tickets can still be hoped for.

About the title, Real Madrid is the team that will win it because they have collected a lot of points compared to Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. There are not many threats for Real Madrid after they lead 8 points above Barcelona and 7 points above Girona, meaning that Real Madrid is quite comfortable with the points gap.

Girona I must say have been impressive this season especially in the Spanish La Liga campaign and even if they didn't succeed to win the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the season, we mustn't shy away from the fact that very little number of people would've predicted that they'll finish this season in the top four of the Spanish La Liga table. Their impressive performance this season have been the most surprising happening of the season and I'm very optimistic that they'll surely finish the season in the top four of the season but might not be allowed to participate in the UEFA Champions League competition next and I want to say something that I think some of us in this forum are completely unaware of and that is one of the rules of qualifying to play in the UEFA Champions League competition.

One of the rules of the UEFA Champions League competition is that two teams of the same owner can't be allowed to participate in the competition and as we all know, Manchester City owners are also the co-owners of Girona and has the highest stake in the club so if Manchester City finishes in the top four of the English Premier League table at the end of the season while Girona does same in the Spanish La Liga table, one of the is certainly not going to play in the competition and because Manchester City has a better ranking in the UEFA rankings, they'll play in the competition ahead of Girona

The title is a bonus but they deserve a ticket to qualify for the Champions League. I agree with this even though it doesn't matter when this season ends they finish last in position to automatically qualify there.
Barcelona wasted a golden opportunity with a penalty, but Gundogan failed to finish well with a great opportunity to score easily.

Barcelona still has a chance to win against Mallorca because Xavi still hasn't included Lewandowski as far as the match is going.
Xavi still entrusts the 18 year old young striker to the center forward position with his own formation.

Oh, I didn't realize who owns Girona and who has the biggest investment in the club. Girona looks like they deserve to qualify for next season's Champions League due to their impressive form, but if the rule is true and it could prevent Girona from qualifying for the Champions League, then I don't know what to say.

By the way, Barcelona has had great difficulty scoring goals against Mallorca so far. The score was still 0-0 even though Barcelona dominated the match. Xavi cannot lead his team on the sidelines, but it looks like he will maximize all his players to get points today even though they will face Napoli in the second leg in midweek.

Lewandoski is not the game changer he used to be, none of the Barcelona players are playing up to their full potential at the moment. Xavi has been decent but has not been able to get the best out of these crop of players and does not have the best team management to try and keep as much players as possible fit.
Lewy is on now.

Guiu is very young, so I would not criticize him too much. The team is also not performing well as a whole, very little he can do.

Barcelona needs a victory in order to keep close to Real Madrid or the title fight will slowly but surely fade away , but so far a draw seems the direction the current game is going into. Mallorca has a simple plan so far ...to not make big mistakes on first 30 meters because I doubt Barcelona can miss 2 penalties in a row.

There is still a chance. but...
Indeed, so far, the result is still a draw 0 - 0.
Well, if you look at the statistics, Barcelona is far superior. Barcelona also made a pretty good attack, but it wasn't too sharp so Mallorca could still beat it quite well.

In fact, Barcelona also has to be wary of Mallorca's performance. Even though in La Liga, they are not a top club, their performance recently has really improved. Moreover, they also entered the Cop Del Rey final. This is certainly very surprising. And indeed because their performance is not as bad as before. There has been quite a significant increase in the club. Xavi really has to be more alert and think about tactics to be able to beat Mallorca no matter what in this match.

[Leviathan.007]

Sicne Xavi isgonig to leave Barcelona soon inthe end of this season ther are many news about some coachs theywant to take his palce.
Barcelona doesn't have good finantial istation to buy expensive coachs to take the palce of Xavi in Barcelona but they are clsoe to some coachs and they prefer to use the coachs they workied in Barcelona before.
One of these coaches who lniekd to Barcelona is Luis Enrique who is curently working on PSG and had poerfect resuolt in this team, but PSG said they want to keep worknig with their ocach nad they prefer to keep Luis Enrique for a liger time which means Barcelona should forget hiering Luis Enrique.

It has to be done because it's quite unfortunate if they drop out of the Champions League after an incredible start to the season and half of the season for Girona.
But it can't be denied that Girona form has dropped significantly in recent matches.
They keep dropping points which has reduced their momentum a little bit and I think things like this need to be resolved soon.

Although currently in terms of points they still have a fairly comfortable gap apart from Barcelona at the moment but if their performance is not too good to continue then this could also be troublesome for them especially the match until the end of the season is still quite long because there are approximately 11 matches they have not completed.

Currently some dark horse clubs like Bilbao must also be considered because it could be with Girona's poor results that some other clubs take advantage of to seize their position.

Yes it will hinder Girona if it is a decision on UEFA part to get rid of one of them. But in this case I only assume that UEFA will make a wise decision. Indeed, Girona performance has been extraordinary in Laliga this season, they have managed to stay in 2nd place for a long time. If they fail to become champions, of course the fans will not be too disappointed because one of their targets has been achieved, namely qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Well, where Barcelona plays in their own stadium and the match is already underway in the second half but the score is still 0-0. Mallorca cannot be underestimated because in the previous match they managed to beat Girona and in today match they were able to balance their game by creating a strong defense. So, if Mallorca manages to surprise them in today match, of course they are in a pretty good process of improving their position on the standings.

Edit Barcelona took a 1-0 lead through Lamine Yamal.

Barcelona does not underestimate Mallorca, but the injury cases experienced by several Barcelona players have forced Xavi to play many young players. Fermin Lopez replaced Raphinha midway through the match, Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi also played without Araujo. But it's true, Barcelona have now scored a goal which Lamine Yamal actually managed to do after two attempts at the same angle.

Lamine Yamal is still very young, but he really troubles his opponent's defense. His skills are very good, but I think he is still very fragile because he still has many shortcomings. He is still very physically weak compared to opposing defenders, but he has good balance when dribbling the ball. Great, that's Lamine Yamal who scored several goals and assists for the first team when he was only 16 years old.

Barcelona has scored 1 goal now. Yamal succeed scoring the first goal in minute 73'. I think Barcelona will win this match because they are playing at home and very dominating the match. Xavi just released some new players in second half, it is proven quite effective. No doubt Barcelona is very superior and makes many shot attempts. But Barcelona needs players who have a good accuracy in shooting. Lewandowski is one of the players that we expect to score more goals for Barcelona.

True. The performance of Mallorca is quite impressive in Copa Del Rey. It is very surprising to see them in the final round. However, in La Liga matches, Mallorca is still a weak team with no surprise results. They are even not very far from the relegation zone. So, I don't expect much for a surprise in this match.

Barcelona is already ahead 1 : 0 through a goal from Yamal right now in the current match that is still ongoing.

Apart from that, Barcelona also dominated even more, especially in the second half. With conditions like this, if Barcelona can at least defend it, then it won't be difficult for the club to win against Mallorca.

But yes, this will depend on how Xavi makes his follow-up strategy in the final minutes. Because, Mallorca is also starting to move again and still hasn't given up. In fact, Mallorca has attempted attacks on Barcelona several times. Luckily, the Barcelona players seemed alert and ready for these conditions.

Barcelona have taken the lead from the 73rd minute after Lamine Yanakochi gave them the lead with an assist from Robert Lewandowski. The match is still ongoing and on the 82nd minutes. The match is highly in favor of Barcelona who are playing from home and with the look of things the match will end in favour of Barcelona. If they win today, they’ll remain on the 3rd position with only one point separating them and Girona. The fight for the second spot is still tight unlike the fight for the top spot which Real Madrid have already dominated with a point gap of seven between them and Girona on the second position.

[bitpotter]

Unfortunately, Gundogan's penalty kick failed to be executed properly, but now he has managed to take a 1 goal lead through Lamine Yamal. It looks like Barcelona will win narrowly again and they shouldn't be happy just yet because anything can still happen. Mallorca will try to equalize if possible with little time remaining. Barcelona must strengthen its defense and seal this win at home.

Correct. There's still a chance. Not long after you said that, the score changed to Barcelona's advantage...

Xavi's decision was right, Lewandowski was introduced by Xavi, so Lewandowski became the player who provided Yamal with an assist in scoring the goal so that Barcelona's current position is 1-0.
Lewandowski is an experienced player. As a senior compared to Marc Guiu and Yamal, Xavi seemed to already know that if he brought in Lewandowski to replace Marc Guiu there would be changes.

This 1-0 advantage will be maintained until the end of the match. It's possible that the final score will not be 1-0, but 2-0.

After struggling hard to score, in the end Lamine Yamal managed to maximize his chance in the 73rd minute. It was a beautiful goal with his left foot, but Mallorca are a dangerous team who might still be able to score in the rest of this match. 1-0 is not safe because the tension in the match is still high, even Barcelona is still trying to double its lead to secure victory.

If Barcelona manages to win this match, it means they are only 5 points away from Real Madrid. However, this is not important because Real Madrid can widen the points gap by winning the next match against Celta Vigo.

Barcelona dominated the game and they were able to play more comfortably especially at the last minutes of the game if they scored the penalty in the first half in addition to the goal scored by Yamal.
I agree with you that Barcelona shouldn't be happy with such result. A one goal difference isn't reassuring and a late goal could cost them two points at the time they are desperate to catch Real Madrid..

There is an additional 5 minutes of extra time for Mallorca to equalize the goal, and five minutes for Barcelona to hold on to the only goal in the match. The magic moment of Yamal made the difference in the match, as he gave Barcelona all three points in this match.

Mallorca played very superbly , and they were able to  play until the 71st minutes before the youngest player in Barcelona broke the deadlock lock, to have the only goal in the match. The final whistle has been blown to end the match and Barcelona won Mallorca 1-0. Yamal was able to make the difference in this match.

Barcelona have closed the gap temporarily with Real Madrid, and they are now on the second position ahead of Girona, who will play against Osasuna.

The goal Barcelona was looking for came from young player Lamine Yamal with a stylish shot from outside the penalty area at minute 73. This goal was so important for Xavi and his team because now everything is in good shape with three points in this difficult match to get closer to Real Madrid. Girona are behind them and they are not far away from Real Madrid. Xavi needs a winning streak from now on.
