La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Chilwell]

Since the La Liga title is definitely going to be won by Real Madrid, I think Barcelona should now focus on the Champions League matches. A top four finish in La Liga will be enough for Barcelona.

Real Madrid have good advantage against Girona and Barcelona so they have good chance to win La Liga. Except if they suddenly have some bad performances and Girona, Barcelona play well enough to equalize differences on the league table.

Real Madrid are in their best form now I don't see any chances for Girona or Barcelona to take that position, I don't think Real Madrid will allow themselves to defeated this time around and I don't think is even possible because they have to lose three matches among the remaining 10 games and Girona or Barcelona will win all the remaining ten matches than it's possible.

I disagree that Atletico Madrid are in a race for a second position. That race is like between only two teams Girona and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid are racing and defending their fourth position against pressure from Athletic Club.

I also disagree that Atletico Madrid are try to get themselves second position, I don't think they can even fight that battle because Barcelona that are even in third place have six points gap between them and Atletico Madrid, I will only agree that they are fighting for the fourth position which they have to improve in their performance because the points gap between them and ATHLETIC Club is too small and anything can happen.

No matter how Barcelona will end this season, Xavi can leave Barcelona as a head coach with pride of himself. He agreed to take risk and take the head coach position when Barcelona were in serious trouble and he helped them to win La Liga. It's a very good for the club during their crisis time.

Now, in this season, Barcelona play not too well but at least they are still in top four and still have chance in Champions League. To assess Xavi works in this season, let's wait for the season ending.

Xavi really try and he should think that he has failed but he should take all the challenges as a lesson, I respect his decision because he don't want to be disgrace, Xavi is not the only head coach that is facing difficult times but with time all shall be well.

Arda Güler is turn 19 just few weeks back and Carlos Ancelotti is doing right job because he needs to be more time for having his chance for the top tier with things will be really better for him in coming season because we are going to have few changes with few players will be leave and then spots could be available for the teenager which will help him to improve his game and give his best in coming years Real Madrid management is done good job as they allow extension for the Carlos Ancelotti which is the best man at his job and surely can give these youngsters good things for their long career as professional soccer players.

Luka Modrić is also going to end his career with things will be more improved, and we will have these youngsters to give their best but asking for the quick solution and more chances right now may be not big deal because he was also facing some issues which are now settled and things are surely going to be more improved for his best.

It was very much interesting to watch Guler showcase his abilities and qualities in his debut game with Madrid against Mallorca. Ancelloti is a skillful man and he definitely knows when and how to use his players. Real Madrid had a goal lead already and it was expected, they had to stay on top, gather up the 3points for the game too. Thankfully, the game between Girona and Atletico Madrid ended fairly for both side, but which ever way, it's an advantage for Madrid as the 3points from tonights game has kept them on top pending subsequent game results.

 Guler was a good impact during his last game for the team. Madrid even though more than much was expected from him but for a first game in a team, he did really good. This only resonates the sermons of how well built up Real Madrid squad is. The young players are definitely an extra advantage to the team's strength. Ancelloti has been able to bring up his boys into more fury and it's exactly what they need to stay strong. There's good coordination and the zeal is always up for them. It's very much good that the team has been able to stay strong up until now and they seem undaunted too.

 It'll be more beautiful to watch these present Madrid perform at their peak even up till next season, the players are gaining good level of experience and it's working out good on them. The tussle for the La Liga trophy is on and now every game counts for both Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid too. However, Real Madrid are the most likely to win the trophy,  cause they're currently toping the league with 7 points gap away from Girona who are in the 2nd position.

That's why Sevilla is not doing well this season because when they have a big chance to win because the team they are facing is a team that has never won at all this season but they failed to maintain their lead.
Sevilla is already safe from the relegation zone because they are six points ahead of Cadiz, but they should be a team that tries to get full points when the team they are facing can be said to have no chance of winning, but it seems like Sevilla is quite happy even with just one point.

Did it really end in a draw? because last night I saw that Sevilla was 1-2 ahead of Almeria and didn't expect them to concede in the last minute. It was a shame that the victory that was so clearly displayed had to be lost after Almeria managed to equalize and make Sevilla lose full points. Actually, winning or any other result will not give Almeria a chance to survive in La Liga and on the other hand, Sevilla needs every win to maintain their chances of surviving next season.

I can't understand what they have done, especially against Almeria who have no hope and seeing the competition at the bottom of the table which is only a few points apart makes everything more challenging for each team every week. I wonder if Sevilla can survive this magical competition at the end of the season.

Sevilla has always been getting worse and worse at La Liga, because they were fine at European competitions, which is a cultural thing at this point, people assumed they were good, but look at how terrible they were up until first half of the season last year. I am still shocked that they are not fighting relegation, I can see Sevilla going down in a few seasons unless something changes.

I think it's quite important to make that distinction and should be something that would get them to realize to change some stuff eventually. I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that would not be all that simple and for that to mean something we are going to end up with a lot of trouble here and there, it would be that simple.

I'm curious how many believe Barcelona still has a chance to overtake Girona for second place. Although I am aware of Barcelona's excellent performance, they will not be able to pass for first place. However, as of right now, Girona's performance is considerably different from Barcelona's. There is no possibility in which Barcelona can have those opportunities to finish in second place. Real Madrid and Girona are currently now in the same point, which i have doubt that Girona can overtake Real Madrid because I'm very sure Girona will perform well in their upcoming game, which they should win handily to move up to the top.

Girona is only one point ahead of Barcelona and La Liga still has ten games remaining, a change in position is still possible in that time period. Being one point behind Girona is not difficult for Barcelona to move up to second place, I still believe Barcelona is able to shift Girona's position. but it is very difficult for Barcelona to catch up with Real Madrid's points, which is very consistent in maintaining its performance.
Barcelona and Girona will also face each other in week 34, the results of this match will really determine who will be runner up. Girona only needs to maintain their performance if they want to appear in the Champions League next season. Being in the top four is a good achievement for Girona even though they failed to become champions or finished in second place.

Well, we will soon find out match by match when the two teams play their matches. what is certain is that there are still 10 matches remaining, while Girona and Barcelona are only separated by one point. It's clear, isn't it just a matter of time? Either Girona is able to maintain its ranking, or in the end Barcelona is able to get rid of the ranking that Girona currently occupies. Moreover, the two teams both have one match to meet in Week 34. Let's just refer to the Girona match. In several matches, Michel's squad experienced a decline in performance and they lost several points so that they are now 7 points behind Real Madrid. even though there is still a chance in the remaining 10 matches, it seems that it will be difficult for Michel's squad to reduce or even overtake the position occupied by one of the giant teams in the Spanish League.

On the other hand, Barcelona is only one point away from Girona. If Girona plays unstable when they visit Getafe and results in a minor match, that means opening up opportunities for Barcelona if they beat Atletico Madrid. however, it is not easy for Barcelona with several of their main players injured. The absence of De Jong and Pedri, plus Gavi, means that Xavi must always be alert to get around his team so that they continue to play consistently ahead of the remainder of this competition. moreover, this season is Xavi's last season with Barcelona. what is certain is that he will do what is best for the club, team and Barcelona supporters. therefore, let's just wait until this competition really ends.

[Sunderland]

Will Barcelona be able to get ahead of Girona? I think it is possible. I believe right now Barcelona is performing well compared to Girona. And at the same time, Girona has dropped off a lot in terms of performance. Girona has three losses in the last 5 Matches and Barcelona has none. Girona does have some easier matches coming up.

Yeah, it's still possible. Let's see the point.

Only 1 point as the difference.
So, it's very possible to take over each other. It will depend on how their performance in the next matches that will be also  still challenging.

Barcelona of course still has a chance to get second place if Girona is careless in the next match because if I see Girona's performance has decreased, so Barcelona will not waste this opportunity to continue to put pressure on Girona and take over that position. Because if you look at the recent matches played by these two teams, Barcelona performed better by not experiencing any defeats, while Girona itself has experienced 3 defeats and lost a lot of points, so it is very possible for Barcelona to take over the runner up position at the end of the season.

It is still possible, but if we look both of the teams fixtures:



Barca has a better chance to stay as the top 2 in the league at the end of the season.
Girona probably fail to get 3 points against these teams: Betis, Atletico, Las Palmas, Barca and Valencia.

[Palakka]

Girona probably fail to get 3 points against these teams: Betis, Atletico, Las Palmas, Barca and Valencia.

La Liga still has 10 games left to play and all changes in the standings can still happen because the two teams will also meet each other in week 34, let's say girona and Barcelona win all games before the 34th game starts, won't the 34th game be decisive for both teams for who has the right to be in the second rank later?
I think with girona often coming out of their best game momentum then I have a little doubt if girona will be able to maintain second place at the end of the season.

Barcelona Currently only have a 1 point difference from Girona and in the last few games Barcelona have actually performed well enough that we can say if they have returned to their best at the moment, besides that this season is Xavi last season at barcelona and for sure he will try to make Barcelona end the season as high as possible, when grona can drop points when facing a club that is slightly above the relegation zone like Mallorca,  Of course, it's hard to say if Girona will be able to spend the match of the season with win all those games.

Girona's performance has declined slightly at the moment, they only got 2 wins from the last 5 matches and suffered 3 defeats.
With its current performance and only 1 point ahead of Barcelona, of course the possibility that Girona will be replaced by Barcelona in second place is very big, especially now that Barcelona's performance has improved.

Targeting to finish in the top 4 is very realistic for now and that is good enough for them considering that Girona is only a team that was not seeded at the start of the season.
I think if they can only finish in the top 4 and get a ticket to the UCL, it is very possible for them to get it.

[Marykeller]

I can't understand what they have done, especially against Almeria who have no hope and seeing the competition at the bottom of the table which is only a few points apart makes everything more challenging for each team every week. I wonder if Sevilla can survive this magical competition at the end of the season.

It is surprising to know that it was this same Sevilla that had a beautiful victory against Real Sociedad(3-2) last week and will come back this week(yesterday) to have a 2-2 draw against a bottom-last team like Almeria. It was surprising because never did it come to someone's mind that Almeria would equalize to Sevilla with a late extra minute (90+5) goal to draw the match after Sevilla had them with a 2-1 victory in the second half.

Almeria is beginning to show good output in their late matches to prefer to have a draw match rather than lose a point. But the question is, how will these draw matches they normally have take them above the relegation zone? Not possible, even if they have some wins they never had since the start of this season till this time of the season

Girona needs to perform better. Currently now Barcelona and Girona played the same amount of matches. And Girona was just able to get ahead of them by winning the last match. Girona also will have to win the next match if they want to stay in the second position. They have to understand that Barcelona is the real competition right now. Because Real Madrid has gone ahead a little too much to catch up. Barcelona on 61 points and have played 28 matches. Girona on 62 points and have played 28 matches. But looking at the next opponent of Girona, I think they should be able to win the next one even though they are not in the best form.

The competition between the two Catalan teams presents something different this season, even Girona is slightly better than Barcelona. We will not see El Clasico competition in the standings and instead Girona will be an obstacle for the two teams. Sometimes there are things that are unpredictable, including Girona who are so consistent. However, there are times when it doesn't work as it should and in the end we see Girona starting to have a little difficulty defending. Had threatened the top position but that wasn't a problem for Real Madrid because they could do it again. The most important thing for Girona now is the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season.

Girona has been falling behind recently and even Barcelona is already catching up with them because currently, Barcelona is just one point away from Girona and the battle is now between girona and Barcelona and they both won their last matches and for the second position it will now be between Girona or Barcelona and Girona is trying and since there next game might cost there position then they won't want to joke with there opponent and Madrid was smart enough to have added enough point and as far as they do not lose any game then they are good to go and madrid have at least 80 percent chances of winning. they already know their faith here compared to the Champions League.

Currently Girona is already under pressure and it can be seen that Girona's performance is declining because of this, there are still 10 matches left this season, there is still a very long way to go and I don't think Girona, who is only 1 point ahead of Barcelona, is safe enough to maintain their position.

In a few weeks there will be a match between these two teams and I think that is the real proof and competition between Girona and Barcelona.
If Girona is not able to recover and return to their top performance like they were at the start of the season, I doubt they will be able to get points when they face Barcelona later.

[hahay]

After all, when it was still in the first half of the season also that Girona was predicted to fall in the second half of the season but a surprise happened, because Girona managed to remain stable in the race for first place with Real Madrid. But yes, over time Girona was left behind by Real Madrid and dropped out of the title race with Real Madrid and unfortunately, at thismoment Girona actually got bad results so that its position continued to be threatened and this time competed with Barcelona to be able to finish in secondplace. So yes, if for example in the end Girona will only finish in third place then at least it is certainly the case and not a surprising result anymore. But indeed, finishing in the top four is clearly still a great achievement for Girona this season and perhaps, with Girona's success this season will make Girona good again next season, who knows.

[Ahli38]

Currently Girona is already under pressure and it can be seen that Girona's performance is declining because of this, there are still 10 matches left this season, there is still a very long way to go and I don't think Girona, who is only 1 point ahead of Barcelona, is safe enough to maintain their position.

If Girona is not able to recover and return to their top performance like they were at the start of the season, I doubt they will be able to get points when they face Barcelona later.

Girona in the first half of the season has created quite a big point difference with Barcelona. But now Girona and Barcelona only have a super narrow difference in points. This is also evidence that Girona experienced a quite serious decline in the second half of this season. It's just that Barcelona themselves still haven't found their consistency well. In fact, when we see the Barcelona match, we will definitely feel hesitant to bet on them. Unless they are playing against a weak team. And now this is also happening to Girona. But Girona has actually been said to be quite safe if the goal is only UCL tickets. Girona only needs to win a few more matches and can be sure they will be safe in getting a ticket to the UCL next season.

The Barcelona vs Girona match will take place on matchday 34 and by then there will definitely have been many changes for these two teams. So we don't know which team will be the favorite at that time. but I feel Barcelona will get better and Girona will probably stay like now.

[Antotena]

Nothing goes well in Barcelona and they suffer some problems during the season.
After the last season when Barcelona won the La Liga title, they are now very far from the team they had to be in this season.
Regardless of their financial situation which is the reason for this team to stop buying expensive players, Barcelona had a total number of 24 injuries during this season! That's unbelievable and all these injuries happened to 17 players in this team.
Also, so far in Barcelona four players had surgery and that's not normal at all.
I think Barcelona should think about a solution for this situation they have.

If you want to win a league with peace of mind, you have to create a gap, very huge that even when you make mistake and lose match, the teams beneath wouldn't reach you and the way to archive that is by not losing match early in the league, I think that was the strategy Girona used in the first round of the season, they didn't lose any match not until they loss to Real Madrid and it seems that was when the winning consistency of Girona broke and they are now sitting in the second place far from Real Madrid that has 7 point above them.

I love Barcelona spirit but it's not enough to give them the momentum to flip Real Madrid right now, they are not upto form and Real Madrid team is more than a form because when you think tey are going to lose, that's when they win most especially in their come back when they are having draw in the as the match becomes tense. That's the passion Barcelona doesn't have, I bet if any of Barcelona defenders could score a goal like Rudiger did last time Celta.

[mammusu]

Finally, Girona was able to record another win after previously failing to achieve it, it was a score of 2-0 in their favor when they hosted Osasuna this week. The 2 goals they scored at the start of the match and at the end of the match made them successful in defeating their guests in this match. This result makes their position temporarily safe in second place in the standings.

In this match I saw them again as usual, yes they dominated the game, they created a lot of opportunities and that was a good performance that they could show. I thought Osasuna could give them more resistance because they also recorded good results in the last match, but that didn't happen in this match. Girona succeeded in making them unable to develop their game, and throughout the match they barely had a chance. That was one of the successes that Girona showed in their game in this match. They should have been able to do this in the previous few matches, but for some reason they couldn't do it well so they suffered more defeats.

Celta Vigo announced that they have parted ways with Rafael Benitez after the defeat against Real Madrid. Celta Vigo are in the relegation zone. Also, they have not been getting good results in recent weeks. They had 3 defeats in the last 5 games. This change can create a positive atmosphere in the team. I think they made the right change at the right time. If they had made this change a little bit later, they might not have had a chance.

[rojan]

In the match between Almería vs Sevilla in the Spanish League, both teams scored 2-2. Both teams scored the same number of goals in the match and neither team could win the match due to which the two teams had to share the points. Almería team played much better than Almería team in this match.  Since Sevilla team was very strong but could not win this match.

[lalabotax]

In fact, changing the coach when the season is almost over and the team is struggling to get back up is a bad thing, Celta Vigo now still has a big chance of escaping relegation this season and I think the management's decision to fire the coach was very hasty because the new coach who handles the Celta Vigo team will not necessarily be able to improve the team's performance, even the percentage that can improve is very small.

It seems like last season Celta Vigo's performance wasn't this bad. But this season they really couldn't optimize their abilities well and neither could their coach. In fact, they are struggling to avoid the relegation zone. Their quite crushing defeat to Real Madrid in the last match put them even more cornered in the bottom position.

Meanwhile, next week's match will be against Sevilla. Sevilla may not be a top club, but who doesn't know this club? Sevilla often gives surprises to their opponents which makes their opponents quite overwhelmed and cannot easily overcome Sevilla. So if Celta Vigo wants to win then they have to fight optimally. yes, although maybe the chance is not that high.

Luckily, rival Cadiz will play Real Sociedad. So maybe their chance of surpassing Celta Vigo is also quite small. because the chances of them marking Real Sociedad are very small.
