La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[QueenVera]

I don't know why you criticized Gundogan for playing poorly in this match. Gundogan's determined spirit and desire to conquer the heights have not diminished. Gundogan's versatility is the key to Barcelona's play this season. On the contrary, it also revealed the weaknesses of the home team at Camp Nou. Xavi plans to use Gundogan as an attacking midfielder who is more involved in developing the ball and finding goals. However, out of 23 matches in La Liga this season, in only 12 games did Gundogan play football as an attacking midfielder. Instead, the 33-year-old midfielder often has to play far from goal in the center of midfield. Gundogan's ability to choose positions, exploit space, and penetrate behind the opponent's defense helps Barca's play improve. Sometimes, that causes Gundogan to sacrifice some of his ability to create opportunities. In the 1-1 draw against Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, Gundogan was one of the best players on the field. Gundogan is gradually becoming a leader at Barcelona, similar to when he played for Manchester City. Personally, I still appreciate Gundogan.

This season is one season Barcelona fans wants to forget in a hurry as this season have been one of their down seasons coupled with the financial issues of the club. Club’s finances is always a big worry especially as it’s not going to help the club be able to get the proper signings they need. This is one challenge the club has faced this season and as such have had to manage with the injured players and the available players. Managing with both sets of players seems to be real tough and this can be troublesome especially for the coach.

  And i feel because of the trouble and all Xavi decided to depart the club at the end of the season. The win against Mallorca is a boost for them especially as they head into the UCL 2nd leg against Napoli. You can see how they’ve managed to fight all hard with their injury crisis. This win is a big boost for the team and we’ll hope they can keep the form up till they get the players back as for talks of the team relying on a 16 year old. I don’t think it’s much of a deal especially as the 16 year old is now getting the recognition and he could probably be minting cash for the club.

 Gundogan vertality is one of the main reason why Barcelona is doing very greatly this season. He’s a very good player and I think he’s got a lot to offer no matter the position he’s put to play. I think Xavi just needs to hang on as he can sure get the best of this squad and get something in the UCL though for the UCL, I’m still going to stand strong with Napoli. Cause I think they'll be more desperate and try to steal the 3 points from Barcelona in their next game.

Barcelona do not deserve to be in second, Girona deserve it more because they have really worked hard this season. Barcelona have just been disappointing, and their performance very unsatisfactory. Last week I really expected them to win that game and be in second, so that the win this week will be to solidify their position, they missed their opportunity, and the lovers of the club will be hoping that this week, since they have started with a narrow win, will want Girona to drop points too, that should not be the standard the club should be at.

I think it is very inaccurate to say that Barcelona does not deserve to be in second place in the La Liga standings. Because after all, Barcelona's struggle to reach this point was not an easy journey, but a very difficult struggle. The reason is, Barcelona this season is not like other big clubs which have all supporting aspects, such as adequate financial conditions. So actually, if you look more closely, I think Barcelona deserves to be in second place at the moment. The reason is, the narrow victory over Mallorca was not a coincidence or an engineering feat. However, this narrow victory was certainly the result of the hard work of Barcelona's coaches and players. Therefore, I do not agree with your assumption.

Agreed.. Barcelona has been able to get to the second position of the La Liga table. that is definitely good news but the problem is there is still the match of Girona to be played.  If Girona can be able to win the next match Barcelona will go down from the second position to the third position.

Now the thing is, Girona is going to play games against Osasuna in the next match.  and you know this one is not going to be that easy,  specially because Girona is not in great form right now. If we follow their last five matches they only have one win. This is definitely not something that is going to give them a lot of confidence going into the next match.

However, they still should be confident because they are going up against a team that is not relatively strong in La Liga. And remember only 1 point is not going to be enough to get them to the second position. so if they draw the match it will not give them any comfort, they must win the match anyhow.

In Girona's match against Osasuna, in fact Girona won with a score of 2:0. Because, currently Barcelona's position has shifted again to third place in the standings. But even so, next week Barcelona still has the opportunity to shift Girona from second place again. In fact, next week the opponent Barcelona faces is Atletico Madrid, which will definitely be a bit strong and make things difficult for Barcelona. However, the possibility that Barcelona can win the match against Atletico Madrid is still very large. Because if you look at the Head to Head record from the last 5 meetings, the result is that Barcelona is superior by winning 4 times. So in my opinion next week, Barcelona will most likely be in second place in La Liga again.

However, what we must not forget is that next week Girona will still face a club that can be said to be not very strong (Getafe). In fact, if you look at the Head to Head record of the two teams, the result is a draw from 5 meetings (2× wins and 1× draw). However, what needs to be underlined is that in Girona's last match against Getafe, Girona achieved this result. So next week it looks like the ranking shift drama will still happen, if all my predictions regarding the Barcelona and Girona match next week come true. Therefore, Barcelona and Girona's competition for second place will certainly continue.

This time, Real Sociedad doesn't want to be a perpetual loser and even though they play Granada in an away match, they don't just give up by accepting the existing results. The match was so exciting because both teams traded attacks until a total of 5 goals were scored. It all started with a goal scored by Granada until finally Real Sociedad got the goal back and continued until the second half.

This match almost ended in a 2-2 draw but here we see that Real Sociedad did not want to disappoint their fans again and again and Andre Silva scored the decisive goal in the 85th minute which changed the score to 2-3 in favor of Real Socidad. We often see Real Sociedad losing their teeth in the last few matches and from the last 5 matches alone they were only able to get 2 wins with the remaining 3 defeats.

I think this season is different from what they showed last season, but at least they didn't continue to fall and managed to maintain their current position. It's possible they won't be able to get the champions league zone again but other European competitions aren't too bad either.

Just like i said before after Atletico Madrid lost from Cadiz yesterday then this could be good opportunity for Bilbao to cut their points gap but unfortunately it wouldn't be so simple because i just realized Bilbao had a problem with their away matches and since January Bilbao has through an 4 away matches and the results is not really good because from those matches Bilbao only can collect 2 points and still unable to gets the winning results even few weeks ago Bilbao only playing draw against weak team Almeria

And for Las Palmas 6 wins and 3 loses at home proven Las Palmas is not the team who can be underestimate because their performance at their home ground is quite stable and sometimes Las Palmas too can performing well and succeed to beat big teams just like Atletico Madrid so i don't think this is easy match for Bilbao and for squad conditions Las Palmas players in the good shape including their key player Kirian Rodriguez and for Bilbao Ander Herrera still hard struggling to recover from his injured but besides him all of Bilbao players in the good fitness and actually from recent performance and squad quality certainly Bilbao much better than Las Palmas but after seeing Bilbao away matches records i was very doubt they can able to overcomes Las Palmas and i was thinking probably this match will ended to draw and this option has high odds @3.50 or both teams to scores for safe bets

[Strongkored]

The players of Cadiz team were so aggressive that almost every attack was leading to success. Juanmi was able to score two goals with the magic of his feet, at the moment he is performing so well that he seems to be the only hope of the Cadiz team. But in comparison Atlético Madrid couldn't make any hard attacks, the number of Atlético Madrid attacks were easily prevented by the opposing goalkeepers and defenders. Cadiz players attacked the hardest from the start.

I was also surprised by Cadiz's impressive performance at home against Atlético Madrid, whose zone or position they occupy now is very different. Atlético Madrid, which is currently still in the UCL zone, could lose badly to a team in the relegation zone like Cadiz, so this will make Atlético Madrid's position even more insecure from being chased by La Liga's top five teams at the moment. And also Cadiz could be saved from this bad zone if they can continue to win like this in the upcoming matches.

This is certainly a big win for Cadiz because they not only managed to get three points but winning against a big team like Atletico Madrid with a convincing score will certainly lift the mentality of the Cadiz players who are struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
The win against Atletico Madrid continues to open up Cadiz's hopes of surviving the relegation zone and with the point difference not being too far away in the coming weeks, it is very possible that there will be changes at the bottom of the table.

Atletico Madrid failed to score even though they had several good opportunities and they had to pay a heavy price, because the difference in points with Athletic Bilbao would be reduced to just two if Athletic could beat Las Palmas, a team that still cannot be underestimated even though they are not very special because they only got two points in the last three games.

The match with Inter Milan in Champions League costs Atletico Madrid a lot. They were distracted too much for that coming match and lost in La Liga. Their position, the fourth, is still safely now but Athletic Club potentially can win their match and come closer to Atletico Madrid.

They already lost the match this week and have to return to focus on next week match. Before that they will have a second leg big match against Inter Milan and if they fail, their bet in La Liga will bring double losses for them.

Atletico Madrid can look at recent bad performances of Athletic Club in home away matches, and hope that it will continue this week so that their difference against Athletic Club will remain the same with 5 points.

[hahay]

Girona's performance has recovered and Girona's match today was exciting and Michel's troops were really good because they beat Osasuna and of course won 3 points and finally Girona was able to shift Barcelona's position again and this is good luck for Girona and now Girona still has time to compete with Real Madrid, but of course the match schedule is getting smaller and Michel has to really improve Girona's performance. But of course, if Madrid is undefeated until the end of the season, it will certainly be impossible for Girona to become champions.

Girona only won 2 times in the last 5 matches so I can't say that Girona has recovered, besides defeating Osasuna is not something that is impressive because Osasuna is a weaker team but overall it is good to restore the player's confidence Girona needs enthusiasm and confidence to maintain position in the second place. Based on the schedule Girona will face 3 difficult matches in the upcoming game at least Girona must win 2 of these 3 matches to be said to have recovered.

Somehow I was very sure that Barcelona would take over the 2nd place before the end of the season although Barcelona is not consistent but at least they are unbeaten in the last 5 matches. In your opinion will Barcelona shift Girona in the near future? or vice versa Girona will be finished in the second place.

Basically, Girona and Barcelona will continue to compete to finish in second place and thus, even if Girona manages to return to second place, but in fact Girona and Barcelona positions will still continue to change. Because after all, Girona and Barcelona only have a gap of 1 point and therefore, every time they play at different times and both get a win result, ofcourse they will continue to overtake each other there. Unless, in one of the future matches they get different results, such as a win or loss or also a draw, then ofcourse one of them will be able to go better to finish in second place. However, if the results they get in each match are always the same, then of course their position will remain like that, but indeed, I am also quite sure that Barcelona has a chance to finish in second place.

There is something to your point. Girona had a great start; in fact, they were competing with Real Madrid. However, a while back, their play declined, leaving many to question what was wrong with the team. Fortunately, things are starting to improve for Girona now. However, winning two games does not necessarily indicate that they are totally recovered. It's possible that Girona is stronger than Osasuna and that's why there isn't much of a difference.

From that first goal it would have given them confidence and from that moment they be able to decide whether they can win or not. They need to prepare there self more for the next three games even if they will not be able to catch up with real Madrid. Barcelona ain't stable yet so to me they are not part of the picture.

[Weawant]

An opportunity for Real Madrid to be able to add three more points to their points and get 69 point to keep them seven points away from Girona and eight points away from Barcelona which happens to be another big rival in the la Liga this season, Real Madrid has got the home advantage aswell so it's putting them at that more advantage because Real Madrid has had good results with home games this season.

Celta Vigo isn't a team that I see as been really weak but whenever it has to do with going against Real Madrid, they have in most cases not succeeded, according to the H2H Real Madrid has always been the winners most times, in their most recent five wins, Real Madrid has been able to all of their encounter with celta , although they have at some point won with only slim margins but has in other times won with bigger margin too aswell but it's more often with small margin but what has been more frequent if the fact that Madrid has always won most times.

It's very possible history will repeat itself again in today's game as Madrid is at this point very much in a good form enough to handle CELTA Vigo well enough to a defeat, considering what's at stake for Madrid if the are able to win this game because the gap between them and girona is very small and to confidently stay ahead they have got to win els they will now be chased closely by girona and Barcelona which will further increased the pressure on them.

Atletico Madrid is a tough opponent for Barcelona following injuries to several of its main players such as De Jong and Pedri. Barcelona certainly has a chance to continue its positive trend against Atletico Madrid, but without some of the best midfielders Barcelona is very different. What will benefit Barcelona is that Atletico Madrid's performance is not good, but the results of the second leg of the Champions League will make both teams appear in a different spirit.

For now, Atletico Madrid has a better probability of winning than Barcelona. I'm not sure what the cause is, but this could be possible considering Barcelona lost several main players in that match. Xavi will probably still rely on Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski, Joao Felix, Fermin, Gundogan and Christensen as his midfielders and forward. But Barcelona must prepare for the second leg of the Champions League against Napoli first and can then focus on La Liga against Atletico Madrid next week.

In your opinion will Barcelona shift Girona in the near future? or vice versa Girona will be finished in the second place.

At least Girona is starting to get back on its winning track and is now four points adrift of Real Madrid, Michel's squad is playing well again by overthrowing Osasuna. Likewise with Osasuna, before this team competed against Girona. Osasuna, unbeaten in four matches. at least, it will not be an easy job for Girona to overthrow their opposing team. it was proven that in this match, Artem Dovbyk was unable to contribute goals for his team. Likewise with his appearance, this striker from Ukraine played a little unlike usual. fortunately, Savio and Portu were able to score goals and win for their team. well, in fact, before this competition is about to end, whatever team they play against, they have to face it like it's the final match. thus, at least motivation to maintain its ranking or even narrow the gap in points from Real Madrid is possible. We'll see how Michel brings his team to the end of this competition.

As for Barcelona, ​​it is clear that Xavi Hernandez's squad has a chance to shift Girona's ranking. Moreover, these two teams still have one meeting in Week 34. However, Barcelona's performance is still very unstable. Plus, several of their core players are still injured. well, we'll see in the 10 remaining matches until the end of this season.
Well, in the next few hours, Madrid will play a match against Celta Vigo. On paper, Madrid should be able to beat their opposing team easily. however, football is unique. Let's just see and enjoy how this fight is played out.

Atletico Madrid failed to score even though they had several good opportunities and they had to pay a heavy price, because the difference in points with Athletic Bilbao would be reduced to just two if Athletic could beat Las Palmas, a team that still cannot be underestimated even though they are not very special because they only got two points in the last three games.

The failure to win from Cadiz certainly makes Atletico Madrid's position begin to be threatened and certainly makes it difficult for them to be able to catch Barcelona and Girona for now, honestly even I don't believe when Atletico Madrid have to lose points to a team like Cadiz who are only in the relegation zone, defeat to a relegation zone team makes me quite doubtful whether later Atletico Madrid can overcome Intermilan in the Champions League when they are Must lose to Cadiz in the league.

Although currently Bilbao has a distance of 5 points from Atletico Madrid, but still the result of the match between Bilbao will definitely be very threatening to Atletico Madrid because if Bilbao wins then the difference in points between Bilbao and Atletico is only 2 points left, so anytime Bilbao has the opportunity to step above Atletico later, even with the defeat I think Atletico Madrid's current position is no longer guaranteed and maybe they will be out of competition The current top 4, especially now that it looks like Madrid, Girona and Barcelona have bought one ticket and one more ticket left which seems more realistic for Atletico Madrid and Bilbao to fight for at the moment.

[Velvet78]

There are only two hours left for the Real Madrid - Celta Vigo game. I assume most people are expecting a clear win by Real Madrid. I expect the same as well. Bellingham won't be able to play unfortunately.    That red card resulted in a two-game punishment for him later on you know. However Real Madrid still should be okay with getting the result they want.  

They had better do so as well because Barcelona and Osasuna both won this week. The gap with them is like only a few points at the moment. Real Madrid wouldn't like to have the final weeks more stressful I assume. I'm trying my luck with Real Madrid to win by at least two goals @1.82.

[el kaka22]

Girona had easy time getting back their position. Ossasuna is not an easy team to defeat, sometimes they get some shocking results against bigger clubs but Girona managed to get out of there without any trouble at all.

I think it is quite clear that we are going to see the situation changing one way or another, it should be quite important to realize that we are not going to get anything major out of this, we should be considering the situation to be as clear as possible and not really have any big troubles at all. We should consider this to be quite normal and we are going to end up being anything that will take a long time. Let's see if they will keep this up, because Barcelona is right on their heels every single week.

The match will start soon. Real Madrid are the number one title contenders in the league this season. They've also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Despite having a young squad, they are having a very good season. Carlo Ancelotti has undoubtedly played a big part in this. On the other hand, Celta Vigo are one of the most unstable teams in the league. I think Real Madrid will win this match. But the bet on them to win by at least two goals is definitely a better choice. Because the betting odds on Real Madrid to win are not enough.

[KTChampions]

In Girona's match against Osasuna, in fact Girona won with a score of 2:0. Because, currently Barcelona's position has shifted again to third place in the standings. But even so, next week Barcelona still has the opportunity to shift Girona from second place again. In fact, next week the opponent Barcelona faces is Atletico Madrid, which will definitely be a bit strong and make things difficult for Barcelona. However, the possibility that Barcelona can win the match against Atletico Madrid is still very large. Because if you look at the Head to Head record from the last 5 meetings, the result is that Barcelona is superior by winning 4 times. So in my opinion next week, Barcelona will most likely be in second place in La Liga again.

You are looking too far, first you need to see how the games of these teams in the Champions League will turn out. Both teams have not yet secured their place in the 1/4 and are on the verge of relegation (especially Atlético). I can assume that despite Atlético's failures in recent games, they will be more motivated than Barcelona, since any loss of points could lead to Atlético being pushed out of the top 4 by Athletic. If Atlético loses to Inter in the round of 16 plus they fail to qualify for the Champions League next year, then I think Simeone will be sacked.

Few minutes to start this match, what is your thoughts about this game?

Jude Bellingham is absent in Real Madrid team due to match suspension, and he is an important player in the squad, but they can still give a great result with this squad.

Rodrygo and Vinicius are leading the team, they will try their possible best to get the three points because statistically they have been very good and have 100% record against Celta in their last five matches they both played together, and despite the bad form Real Madrid was in their last two games they go winless, I think they are in better position to win this match.

Real couldn't win the last two games, that's true, and the match with Leipzig was indeed very difficult, but a draw in this match was enough for Real and they achieved their goal. Vinicius scores again and Real win after the first half and they currently maintain a 7 point lead over Girona. Celta had very little chance to create anything in the first half, if nothing changes in the second half it will most likely be an easy win for Real.

Girona passed this week without any losses. They managed to beat Osasuna 2-0. This victory helped them come to their senses. Real played completely superior in the first half and finished the first half leading 1-0 with Vinicius' goal. I expected them to be weaker offensively without Bellingham, but they are still very good. I wonder if Arda Güler will play in this match because he showed a great performance in the last training sessions.
