La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rendravolt]

After the victory against Osasuna last week, Toni Kroos has very impressive statistics. At his current age he can still record a passing accuracy of 97% from 67 passes and I think he is indeed an important tempo-setting midfielder that Real Madrid needs. We know that it is very rare for a player to have similar statistics to Toni Kroos and experience speaks for itself.

I think it is very feasible if Toni Kroos gets an offer for another season to strengthen Real Madrid considering that there is no midfielder who can develop like him in the squad. While waiting for his successor with the same characteristics, I think Toni Kroos should pass on all his knowledge to other players like Camavinga, Valverde or Tchouameni. So that if he leaves Real Madrid later, there is no need to worry about getting a replacement.

There are still doubts about Girona, how they will be able to spend the end of the season, if they continue to lose points like this, it could put them in a very difficult position. I think a team like Atletico cannot remain without the Champions League, but you are right that they will now have a very busy schedule, and perhaps that is why Athletic Bilbao will have an advantage.

What I usually see when a team plays well at the start of the season is that they will usually play inconsistently towards the end of the season, either because of fatigue or because of injuries to key players, so seeing Girona often experience bad results I already understand why it is like that, a lot in In other big leagues, a team that is good at the start of the season will definitely be bad at the end of the season, but Girona still has a point difference that is difficult for Bilbao to catch and they can still recover from adversity to recover.

In their last five matches, Girona have suffered three defeats and it is really not good to lose points and Girona must be able to improve it in the next few matches, the remaining matches until the end of the season in order to be in the current position of finishing in the top four and getting a UCL ticket next season, of course it will also be difficult if Girona's key players are injured too, as long as their coach Míchel is able to rotate his players to perform better, I'm sure Girona will be successful in finishing in the top four and get a ticket to the UCL next season.

[wakier]

So that's the question for all of us, we see Atletico Madrid always having difficulty scoring goals even though they have 13 shots, obviously this is beyond our expectations because Atletico Madrid is playing at home they should be able to provide more accurate attacks but unfortunately not. Sometimes there are some things that cannot be explained in a match usually we call it a lucky factor well maybe in this fight Barcloan is more fortunate and they also have more ability.

Next we will wait for how Atletico Madrid's efforts to regain their place in the Champions League zone certainly very unfortunate if they only play in the European League next season even though this season they were able to reach the quarter final. Atletico Madrid still has the opportunity to collect 3 points or more in the remaining 9 matches but that will be a little disturbing their concentration in the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid have tried hard to try to give their best as proven several times they tried to kick against Barcelona's goal. In fact, Barcelona's goalkeeper was too good so it was difficult to penetrate the defense. Until finally in this match the Atletico Madird players couldn't control their emotions and often received fouls until finally in the final minute Nahuel Molina received a red card.

No matter how hard Atletico Madrid tries, the fact is that they cannot beat Barcelona, who are currently on a good record. Atlético Madrid has lost the opportunity to fight for the top 3 positions because it continues to lose a lot of points recently. If its performance continues like this, Bilbao will take advantage of the opportunity to widen the gap with Atlético. Madrid is in the top four to get a UCL ticket and for Atlético Madrid he will probably play in the UEL because he has not performed optimally recently.

[Salahmu]

I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.

It was truly surprising with how the match played out against Atletico Madrid, I never expected the goal to be this much against Atletico Madrid because there last match against Inter Milan they had a very good performance to the extend of wining Inter Milan when we no how impressive Inter Milan has been on there league, so I was thinking they still had the same performance but it was quite the opposite. However Barcelona on the other hand has been performing like a club that's un serious but are really progressing because who would have thought Barcelona will go this far after the poor performance they put during the beginning of the league, and for a while now they have been competing with Girona on the second position but right now they have an advantage over Girona but if Girona win there next match they will still become a challenge to Barcelona, so perhaps the competition among them is making them to become more consistent and more focus.

[Luzin]

and for a while now they have been competing with Girona on the second position but right now they have an advantage over Girona but if Girona win there next match they will still become a challenge to Barcelona, so perhaps the competition among them is making them to become more consistent and more focus.

If Girona's poor form continues due to instability until the end of the season, it is possible that Girona could drop back to 4th place. Currently La Liga has 9 games left and Girona has a 6-point gap with Atlhetic Club. It could even be thrown to number 5 because Atlhetic and Atlhetico Madrid are only 1 point apart. But if Girona wants to enter the UCL Zone then he must be able to stay at least at number 4 until the end of the season.

[asriloni]

Moreover, Barcelona's performance this season has been less stable compared to Atletico, but now everything has changed and the additional 3 points have put Barcelona in second place in the standings. I think Atletico must know that all teams are the same and must try to win and not just focus too much on their local rivals like Real Madrid. The additional 3 points are important to maintain stability and also create a safe position in top competition.

I thought Atletico Madrid could make things difficult for Barcelona, but I was wrong. In fact I think like you, because they concede the ball too easily and it looks weak like in your picture. It seems Madrid have to learn a lot from Barcelona so they can make Atletico like a docile cat. It seems that Jao Felix became Barcelona's differentiating actor, with his anger he worked hard to make Simeone feel guilty about letting go.

Barcelona's play really impressed me; Athletico Madrid also had excellent chances, but their finishing were bad. I first assumed that Athletico Madrid would make the match difficult for Barcelona, but I was quite disappointed by their performance, especially their defensemen.

I think Barcelona's playing has really improved. Many fans blamed Xavi for not having a coaching strategy, but he is one of my top three favourite coaches this season because it is not easy to manage a team that does not have funds, and he is doing his best because he is currently second in the La Liga table and he still managed the team to the Champions League quarterfinals, which I'm hoping to see Barcelona in the Champions League final.

I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.

It's only when I was atletico against Barcelona, and I was frequently watching other clubs play against Barcelona. I meant if Atletico appeared to be a different club when it faces barcelona as its opponent. This club was able to play perfectly against Real Madrid, but things changed dramatically when Atletico faced Barcelona which is very strange to see that how atletico madrid's patter changed so fast.
It appears to me that Atletico Madrid does not intend to beat Barcelona like the club was not playing seriously against it. Atletico missed an opportunity to help Real Madrid widen the gap even further which is very bad for madrid. It was a disappointing result for me. I did not expect Barcelona to batter Atletico Madrid by such large margins in the previous game and it pushes madrid to work even harder than before
Barcelona has transformed to play even better than before, which is an unbelievable result from Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid still has a chance to be in the top four. That's why it's too early to talk about these. The only team they can pass is Athletic Bilbao. If they surpass them in the rankings, they can play in UCL again. Maybe they will play in the semi-finals for UCL this year, but they should not lose their ranking in the league to be here next year. They must somehow learn to use the offensive zone more powerfully and more effectively.

Difficult for Atletico Madrid get opportunity to be top fourth standings position this season after beating by Barcelona last match in front of their fans, current standings Athletic Bilbao leading the 4th position with one point remaining. Its crucial losses for Atletico Madrid with failed get three points automatically failed to reach to the top fourth position, left 9 matches later in La Liga Atletico Madrid must secure all three points if want get the top fourth position and most strong opponent teams waiting for against Girona, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad are potential teams will be losses points.

Have heavy schedule for Atletico Madrid upcoming matches later, not only how to return winning trend in domestic league but also Atletico must consistent well in Champion League against Dortmund on the first and second leg match. How much percentage possibilities for Atletico Madrid securing their top fourth standings behind the rival teams such as Bilbao and Girona just focus with domestic league only.

Diego Simeone had to rack his brains to organize a good squad to secure fourth place again. The defeat to Barcelona was clearly a blow because they lost important points. With the remaining matches becoming less and less, it really makes fans even more anxious. Yes, Atletico Madrid also has to share their concentration on the Champions League, I think with such a busy schedule it will be very difficult for Simeone to rotate players. However, I still believe that Los Cholchoneros will be able to get through that phase, because they have coaches and players who have a fighter's mentality during bitter times.

Yeah, I believe that Diego Simeone will turn things around for the club to qualify for next season champions league. The Man is experienced in the league and know what to do. Despite the loss to Barcelona I still believe that they will bounce back. Of a truth not many teams can beat Barcelona, it's just so unfortunate that Barcelona are not what they used to be if not I don't even see Atlético losing to a team like Barcelona as a shocking result. Barcelona in their glory days were destroying all their opponents and this Barcelona side has been showing good sign lately.

[Gallar]

I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.

Before Barcelona's match against Atletico Madrid took place, I personally thought Barcelona would definitely win the match. Even though Barcelona has appeared erratic this season, I see the potential for Barcelona to recover at the end of the season. Because after all, Barcelona is a big team and don't forget that last season Barcelona was also able to finish at the top of the La Liga standings. So this season Barcelona can definitely achieve good results in La Liga, even though they won't be at the top of the standings, but at least Barcelona can be in second place. And I think this will not be difficult for Barcelona. Moreover, if Barcelona continues to be consistent with its current performance, it is certain that the matches it will face in the future will not be too difficult for Barcelona.

Apart from that, Barcelona also managed to enter the last 8 of the Champions League (UCL) after beating Napoli in the second leg. So this is a sign that Barcelona will rise again from its downturn. After various obstacles that came in the way, such as Xavi's departure from the coaching chair after this season, the team's poor performance, and the lack of financial matters. But now this doesn't seem to be a problem for Barcelona players. Because what I see from my point of view, currently the Barcelona players look happier and can make peace with the situation that befell their club. And currently the Barcelona players seem to have returned to focusing on the existing competition. So it is certain that with this, Barcelona will definitely shine again.

[Frankolala]

Moreover, Barcelona's performance this season has been less stable compared to Atletico, but now everything has changed and the additional 3 points have put Barcelona in second place in the standings.

That defeat by Barcelona have a negative impact on Atletico Madrid, because they need to fight back their way to the top four, so that they can be in the Champions League next season, otherwise they will have to go for Europa cup.

Barcelona was able to show that they are superior over Atletico, no matter where the match is played. This was why it was very easy for them to win the match with 3 goals on a clean sheet. Only if Bilbao and Girona drop points, that is when there can be hope for Atletico to finish on top four.

Atletico Madrid have to pay more attention on their matches in La Liga. Losing a fourth position to Athletic Club is not good at all and the competitor is not weak. They are able to hold this fourth position till the season ending and Atletico Madrid have to be carefully with their matches and be ready to take advantage of any poor performance from Athletic Club. Such chance will not be too often appear and if Atletico Madrid waste such rare chance, they will lose against Athletic Club after all.

Most important is they must get good results from their own matches first as if they continue to lose points, their chance will only become smaller.

[hahay]

and for a while now they have been competing with Girona on the second position but right now they have an advantage over Girona but if Girona win there next match they will still become a challenge to Barcelona, so perhaps the competition among them is making them to become more consistent and more focus.

If Girona's poor form continues due to instability until the end of the season, it is possible that Girona could drop back to 4th place. Currently La Liga has 9 games left and Girona has a 6-point gap with Atlhetic Club. It could even be thrown to number 5 because Atlhetic and Atlhetico Madrid are only 1 point apart. But if Girona wants to enter the UCL Zone then he must be able to stay at least at number 4 until the end of the season.

Well, Girona's task for the rest of the season is clearly only to focus more on maintaining its position in the top four, being a team that is in third or fourth position does not matter, because the most important thing for Girona is to get a Champion League ticket. Although indeed, although Girona is still said to have a good point capital that is safe enough to stay in the top four but still, Girona still has to stay focused and consistent and keep playing well in every match that will be played next. If Girona can do that well then yes, ofcourse Girona will succeed in maintaining its position in the top four, and of course the bad consideration is about failing to finish in the top four.

[Hanadawa]

I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.

This was a costly defeat for Atletico as they dropped to fifth place. They are 1 point behind Bilbao in fourth place. Actually, it's not a big difference in points and I'm sure Atletico will be able to get back to fourth place. But what worries me is the consistency of their game which doesn't look good lately. They lost to Cadiz 0-2 and I was really surprised by the defeat. If Atletico Madrid do not correct their mistakes then Athletic Bilbao could shift their position in the top four of the standings at the end of the season because of course Athletic Bilbao will not waste this opportunity.

[Bitcoin_people]

and for a while now they have been competing with Girona on the second position but right now they have an advantage over Girona but if Girona win there next match they will still become a challenge to Barcelona, so perhaps the competition among them is making them to become more consistent and more focus.

If Girona can do that well then yes, ofcourse Girona will succeed in maintaining its position in the top four, and of course the bad consideration is about failing to finish in the top four.

As Girona is still in the third position of the points table, it can be assured that they will be able to maintain their position if they do well in the next matches. With the points that Girona currently have this season, they will occupy the third position and the fourth position, moreover, if they can still perform well, someone will be able to take Barcelona's position. Although Girona have played quite well this season, they have not performed very well in the last minute and they have dropped down, but there is still time for them to get enough points on the table. The capital they currently hold in the points table will surely secure them a Champions League ticket no doubt, they just need to step up their game a bit more. However, Girona are strong enough this season and if they want to maintain their position, they will need to be a bit stronger if they are to play successfully.

[Palakka]

If Girona can do that well then yes, ofcourse Girona will succeed in maintaining its position in the top four, and of course the bad consideration is about failing to finish in the top four.

Girona's hopes of winning La Liga apparently had to run aground at the hands of Madrid, and even after a painful defeat to Madrid in week 24, Girona looked like a team that lost motivation and consistency after successfully maintaining it for 23 weeks in the league, and even after the defeat to Madrid girona continued to suffer defeats that made their position even more threatened today,  And even for now the hope of also getting the runners-up position of La Liga at the end of the season has now disappeared after they lost to Getafe and had to give it up to Barcelona who did perform well towards the end of this season.

Currently, maybe third and fourth positions will be their main targets, but I think this will also be difficult for Girona, who in the next few weeks will face difficult matches against Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​if Girona loses 3 points. In this match, I am quite sure that Atletico Bilbao and Atletico Madrid will be able to control positions 3 and 4 in the La Liga standings at the end of the season, and maybe Girona will only play in the European League next season and  they return to their original team (bottom team of La Liga).

[Swordsoffreedom]

Moreover, Barcelona's performance this season has been less stable compared to Atletico, but now everything has changed and the additional 3 points have put Barcelona in second place in the standings. I think Atletico must know that all teams are the same and must try to win and not just focus too much on their local rivals like Real Madrid.

That defeat by Barcelona have a negative impact on Atletico Madrid, because they need to fight back their way to the top four, so that they can be in the Champions League next season, otherwise they will have to go for Europa cup.

I agree with you. Atletico Madrid players will lose confidence after this defeat. Because this season we have seen that Atlético Madrid is very strong in home matches. Atlético Madrid players were able to dominate every home match. Atletico Madrid failed to dominate the only match against Barcelona and the team lost 3-0 in the match. Atletico's players are performing very badly in this match. And if Atlético's players lose confidence, it will be very difficult for Atlético Madrid to win the upcoming matches as well.

Barcelona was able to show that they are superior over Atletico, no matter where the match is played. This was why it was very easy for them to win the match with 3 goals on a clean sheet. Only if Bilbao and Girona drop points, that is when there can be hope for Atletico to finish on top four.

Atlético Madrid is now fifth in the points table. Moving to fourth place in the table is not an easy task for them. However, if Atletico Madrid can win the next few matches, then Atletico Madrid will probably be in the top four of the table. Atletico Madrid need full points against Girona and Athletic Club in the upcoming matches. Then Atletico Madrid can come in the top four of the table.

[SOKO-DEKE]

As Girona is still in the third position of the points table, it can be assured that they will be able to maintain their position if they do well in the next matches. With the points that Girona currently have this season, they will occupy the third position and the fourth position, moreover, if they can still perform well, someone will be able to take Barcelona's position.

However, Girona are strong enough this season and if they want to maintain their position, they will need to be a bit stronger if they are to play successfully.

Even though Girona's performance has declined lately, I still have some belief that they will strive to secure a place in the top four this season. It wouldn't make sense if Girona didn't eventually finish among the top teams, as it would render all their efforts futile. However, I'm not aiming for Girona to settle for either fourth or third place in the standings; I aspire for them to claim the second position.This is the rank I believe they are worthy of achieving this season, and I hope they will endeavor to seize that spot from Barcelona. Despite recent setbacks, I maintain a glimmer of hope that Girona will rise to the occasion and demonstrate their capabilities on the field, ultimately achieving the commendable feat of securing second place in the league standings.

To be able to finish in the top 4 is of course still quite possible for Girona, now they are 7 points ahead of Atletico Madrid who are in 5th place and with 10 matches remaining Girona only needs to maintain the stability of their performance to be able to maintain their position.

And it is true that Girona's performance has declined slightly in the last few matches, this team seems to no longer have the direction they had at the start of the season and when a shock occurs in a squad that doesn't actually have the same quality as Girona it will be a little difficult to recover.
Now their motivation is only to finish in the top 4, I think that is very possible for Girona.

There is still hope for Athletico Madrid to finish in the top four of the La Liga table if they are consistent. Athletic Bilbao is leading Athletico Madrid by just one point in the La Liga table. Athletico Madrid just needs to win their matches in the league and hope for Athletic Bilbao to play a draw match for them to enter the fourth position in the La Liga table.

Well, Girona's task for the rest of the season is clearly only to focus more on maintaining its position in the top four, being a team that is in third or fourth position does not matter, because the most important thing for Girona is to get a Champion League ticket. Although indeed, although Girona is still said to have a good point capital that is safe enough to stay in the top four but still, Girona still has to stay focused and consistent and keep playing well in every match that will be played next. If Girona can do that well then yes, ofcourse Girona will succeed in maintaining its position in the top four, and of course the bad consideration is about failing to finish in the top four.

Of course, Girona will find themselves focused on maintaining their position in the top four until the end of the season and that is what they will be trying to do now. I don't imagine them failing to maintain their position in the top four as long as other teams like Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao are inconsistent, but on the other hand Girona will likely have problems if Athletico Bilbao and Atletico Madrid perform well until the end of the season.

So far Girona is not in good form. They lost so many points and if this condition continues then Girona will be threatened by the other two teams. Bilbao and Atletico Madrid have a gap of 6 and 7 points with Girona, meaning that if these two teams consistently win matches and Girona loses 2 matches, then Girona will be out of the Champions League zone. It's just a fearful possibility, but Girona will try their best as always.
