La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Mame89]

Girona have won Atletico Madrid this season, and that was when they were in their super form but currently with their recent results from matches, I don't think Girona will be able to win Girona again. Perhaps, if Girona put in their best performance, it is certain that they will be able to win the match.

On the one hand Atletico Madrid can take the opportunity to win Girona based on the recent inconsistencies, and if they do not, it means that Girona is stronger than them and and Bilbao will have the opportunity o take over the 4th position from them

Yes, I also agree with you, indeed Girona appeared very impressive in the first round this season and even beat Atltico Madrid with a score of 4-3. but Girona is not doing well now, they lost several points which made them drop to third place. So in this match I also think that Atletico will take advantage of Girona's current condition to achieve victory, especially since this match is being played at home, of course this will be an opportunity for Atletico Madrid to catch points from Girona which is seven points away. Apart from that, Atletico Madrid's victory is also important to stay away from Bilbao in fifth place with a difference of two points.

For Girona, this match will be an important test for them, whether they have the opportunity to catch Barcelona or be approached by Atletico Madrid if they lose. I predict this match will be fierce, but for betting I will favor Atletico Madrid as the winner in this match.

[Weawant]

There are facts about the performance of these teams this season. Girona was pretty inform when they face Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they scored four goals against these elite teams and Real Madrid was the only elite team that nailed them in both home and away. Carlo Ancelotti deserves his accolades because he's pretty amazing when it comes to the affairs of the team. Real Madrid will continue to strive for incredible results and also enabled themselves to be handling the tougher tasks and also keen on lifting the title.

Real Madrid always try to stand out both in the la Liga which happens to be their domestic League a d aswell in the champions league where they are also known for their excellence over the years in which they have been found playing in the champions league too aswell, although this doesn't mean they don't get down times where they are also been beaten by some other teams both the average and the big too both in the champions League and la Liga

The ability to stop the fast rising team who tried to challenge all the big teams in the la Liga shows the much strength on the side of Madrid a s their ability to be able to get away with victory against every average team in the la Liga because Girona isn't such a team that will be seen as a big team but an improving average team that is gradually getting to that point where they can actually be able to really get to be compared to the bigger teams in the la Liga, i see Girona to be a team that actually lacked sustainability with their performance as that which they were able to do against Barcelona and atletico wasn't still maintained till this time.

Barcelona looks more sustainable and much more strong to me than Girona despite their poor form this season that has gotten them to look like they are a weak team or probably in a fair consideration an average team. But then Barcelona has continued to still be one of the best team in the la Liga and i think they just need time to get to better form and they will be back on their feet stronger again.

[Leviathan.007]

There are many players in Barcelona who should think about their future because Barcelona doesn't have good financial power to keep all the players in the team with good salaries and keeping all these players will be hard for them. During the last few days, we saw Barcelona start negotiations with many players to extend their contracts for a longer time but we know there are many other teams that want to hire these players because they get paid much more than Barcelona and this can make any player to leave.
The contract with Sergi Roberto will get expired at the end of this season. He is the second captain of Barcelona and they want to keep him for a longer time. It seems Barcelona offered Sergi Roberto to extend his contract for one more year.

[marcous]

I think it is quite possible for Barcelona to still be able to maintain 2nd position because Barcelona and Girona now have a difference in performance so that Barcelona is not so stressed anymore. Moreover, Barcelona's performance is quite good now and this is inversely proportional to Girona so I don't think Girona will able to compete with Barcelona for 2nd position.
In fact, now Girona only needs to maintain the stability of their performance so that they remain in the top 4 of the standings to be able to get a ticket to the Champions League next season. Girona's position is still not safe now, especially as their performance has declined greatly.

There is no guarantee Barcelona to stay in a runner-up position until the end of the season. If Barcelona underestimates Girona, they may lose the runner-up position. Even if Girona performance is decreasing lately, they are still a strong team in La Liga. They experienced some losses because they couldn't play with full team. Now, it seems Girona all players are available for the remaining matches in La Liga. So, I assume there will be an improvement on Girona performance. Barcelona must be careful with Girona, specifically Barcelona may lose points in the upcoming El Clasico.

I think it is not the time to relax for Barcelona. They have some crucial matches in the near future. Although it is not for the title, but a runner-up position is also quite prestigious.

Barcelona certainly hopes to overtake Madrid position at the top of the standings and win the La Liga trophy again this season, but this is certainly quite difficult to achieve because Ancelotti fleet has a fairly wide point advantage over Barcelona. Therefore, the most realistic target is to finish in runnerup ranking, by trying to go undefeated in the remaining matches ahead.

Meanwhile, in important matches such as the EL Clasico, Barcelona also has to fight not to lose, so that their position will be save for Girona pursuit. Nobody should be underestimated, because that could have fatal consequences for their position in the standings, especially if they underestimate Girona. Even though their performance has experienced ups and downs, Girona still has a chance to recover and be consistent.

Girona is a little lucky because they only focus on La Liga matches, unlike Barcelona who have matches scheduled in the Champions League where this can divide their focus. On the other hand, I also believe that Girona will be able to maintain their position in the top four of the standings, so that they will appear in the Champions League next season.

With the current financial crises at Barcelona and the fact that the club manager Xavi Hernandez is going to leave the club at the end of the current season, I think it'll be very difficult to keep some of the young players that's shown great football potentials at the club beyond the end of the current season. Lamine Yamal is one of those players that I think will find it very difficult to choose to remain at the club after the end of the current season and that's because the Barcelona youngster is already receiving many tempting offers to leave tge club at and considering the fact that his current club isn't financially strong enough to match those offers, the Spanish international might just want to leave and join a club that'll give provide him with everything he needs to succeed as a big European football star.
There are older players at the club whose contract will also expire at the end of the season but are yet to receive any contract extension offer from the club management. Barcelona in my own opinion will struggle next season unless there's a quick finance intervention by the club management

La Liga 2023 - 2024 season has only 8 more matches for each club and Girona after the 30 match day, has 65 points. The club at a fifth position, Athletic Club has 56 points, 9 points less than Girona. This point difference between Girona and Athletic Club means Girona are counting down very last matches to celebrate a first chance ever in their club history to play in Champions League.

They have to lose 3 matches to have big risk of losing a position in top four of La Liga. Chance for Athletic Club to surpass Girona in last several matches is not actually too high. Girona have more scored goals and better goal difference than Athletic Club too. They have many advantages to defend their position and Champions League is not too far.

Apart from being very different from other leagues, the Spanish League is usually dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top of the standings. So when there is a team like Girona who wants to challenge for the title, it will also have an even more different atmosphere like this season. Because Barcelona will still face several tough opponents in the remainder of this season, Barcelona's struggle to stay in second place in the standings until the end of the season is still not finished and still has to be fought very hard.

Yep, it's true that Real Madrid and Barcelona are the clubs that always dominate La Liga at the top of the standings and after that, Atletico Madrid, these three clubs always dominate La Liga and this season Girona is trying to get in among these clubs and is giving quite a surprising performance and is able to compete with Real Madrid was at the top of the standings for quite a long time but now its position has been shifted by Barcelona in 3rd place and no longer has the opportunity to compete with Real Madrid again in the title race.

Mediocre clubs will have difficulty competing with top clubs even though Girona was initially quite impressive but many doubted that he would be able to surpass Real Madrid and Barcelona and now it has been proven that Girona's performance has declined and is no longer as consistent as it was at the start of the season but Girona is still trying to compete with Barcelona in the fight for runner up place because the difference in points between the two is only a small difference.

Barcelona still has many matches to play and its position as runner up is not completely safe, even though Girona's performance is unstable, he also wants to try hard and doesn't want to lose important points.

I haven't heard anything new about Pedri since he got injured again. But today I read the news that Barcelona want to extend Pedri's contract immediately. Pedri's contract until 2026 contains a release clause of 1 billion euros. But it seems Barcelona do not want to lose this talented young star. Although the statistics of this injury are quite worrying, it seems that Barcelona are still quite confident in Pedri.

Girona have more scored goals and better goal difference than Athletic Club too. They have many advantages to defend their position and Champions League is not too far.

Behind 9 points remaining from Athletic Bilbao on 5th standings position, seems Girona just needed 5 winning matches later for their first history appearance in UEFA Champion League next season. Not easy for qualifying to Champion League next season for Girona upcoming several matches later have to face Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, if possibility defeating both team teams will make easily for Girona behind some matches left facing with some bottom standings teams.

In La Liga regulation, its not count with goals difference but head to head between Atletico Madrid or Athletic Bilbao, in the first half match Girona defeating Atletico Madrid on their home and next week match if can get draw will lead head to head if possibility at the end this season has the same points. But Girona loss head to head from Athletic Bilbao and could be loss the top fourth position if have the same points with Athletic Bilbao.

Yes, and Girona experienced significant decline after some time performing optimally at the top of the standings, after series of defeats and draws they experienced made their standings decline.
Now Girona maintains 3 position with quite lot of points difference from Atletico Madrid and only has difference of 2 points from Barcelona which is currently in 2 place, there is still possibility that Girona can surpass Barcelona this season.
2 points is not big difference and while Barcelona cannot appear with stable performance in the future it could cause them to lose 2 place, Girona will definitely try to catch up to fight for runners-up.
From the remaining matches, it is clear that Real Madrid has confirmed its comfortable position at the top of the standings to become La Liga champions and the battle for position is taking place for runners-up between Barcelona and Girona.

For Atletico Madrid itself, the real threat is Bilbao, clearly difference of 2 points can make Bilbao take over the top 4 position if Atletico Madrid is careless and makes mistake.
It just that the competition now only takes place between 2 teams and this is less competitive competition, unlike last season.

In those 8 matches that remain before the end of this tournament will not affect Real Madrid points and their position, because they have the capacity to continue maintaining the first position till the end of the 8 matches. Barcelona and Girona are still trying their possible best to ensure they improve in their remaining matches so that they will not make any mistakes that will make Athletics club to take one of the position to be more close to Real Madrid. For Girona to reach this third position in the la Liga league table which they have never come close before, I think they will not give Athletic club any chance to use the remaining matches to top them.

Pedri contract will be expired at 2026 but recently Barcelona has decide to offering him new contract soon this because Barcelona considers Pedri as the future player of Barcelona and they predict he was potentially will became an important player for this team in the next several years and talking about Barcelona youngster actually this team was never lack of young talented player from their academy La Masia because they can produce talented players for almost every season

Actually before Lamine Yamal who performing well this season Barcelona has Gavi and Pedri and both players can performing fantastic and they can earn trust from Xavi to playing for each matches with Barcelona but unfortunately they are unlucky because currently they got injured even for Gavi he have to ended this season early because long term injured even so with Pedri he is not so different because since 2021 he was plenty got some injured which makes he cannot full play with Barcelona for 1 season and i think Barcelona decision when they want to extended Pedri contract is a bit risky because just like i said above Pedri also injured prone

[Despairo]

Based on last few years history, a club that have at least 70 points would able to enter top 4 positions, Girona is currently lack 5 points, so they might drop to 5th positions. Will Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club able to overtake Girona's positions?

Pedri's contract until 2026 contains a release clause of 1 billion euros. But it seems Barcelona do not want to lose this talented young star.

It's a big joke that Barcelona created such kind contract in order to let other clubs have no way to buy out Pedri.

[piebeyb]

Barcelona still has many matches to play and its position as runner up is not completely safe, even though Girona's performance is unstable, he also wants to try hard and doesn't want to lose important points.

In my opinion, even though Barcelona is not runner up as long as Barcelona is in the top four they will also get a UCL ticket next season, Girona could possibly take the runner up position but it seems that Barcelona is currently much more consistent than them, as long as Xavi rotates his players well of course Barcelona's position will not change until the end of this season, Xavi seems to be preparing himself more for the upcoming UCL match against PSG because according to him maintaining the runner up position will not be disturbed.

Facing PSG is certainly not an easy job for Barcelona because we know that PSG's strength is also quite good, especially since there is Mbappe there which might worry Barcelona, at least Xavi must strengthen their back line so that Mbappe and his friends are not easily penetrated, I think the UCL results for xavi is much more important at the moment for Barcelona than thinking about how to maintain the runner up position in Laliga, I think Barcelona will be safe there in second place in the standings, playing at PSG's home ground at least Barcelona must be able to win the first leg to make them safe when playing there the second leg match later, that's what Xavi is thinking about right now.

Barcelona certainly hopes to overtake Madrid position at the top of the standings and win the La Liga trophy again this season, but this is certainly quite difficult to achieve because Ancelotti fleet has a fairly wide point advantage over Barcelona. Therefore, the most realistic target is to finish in runnerup ranking, by trying to go undefeated in the remaining matches ahead.

Meanwhile, in important matches such as the EL Clasico, Barcelona also has to fight not to lose, so that their position will be save for Girona pursuit. Nobody should be underestimated, because that could have fatal consequences for their position in the standings, especially if they underestimate Girona. Even though their performance has experienced ups and downs, Girona still has a chance to recover and be consistent.

Girona is a little lucky because they only focus on La Liga matches, unlike Barcelona who have matches scheduled in the Champions League where this can divide their focus. On the other hand, I also believe that Girona will be able to maintain their position in the top four of the standings, so that they will appear in the Champions League next season.

Barcelona appeared sluggish since the beginning of the season and the inconsistency of their game that occurred since the season began made Barcelona lag behind at that time from Madrid and Girona, but slowly Barcelona was able to rise and be in second place in the La Liga standings this season, in actual performance Barcelona has improved and stabilized because it was seen in recent weeks they were unbeaten,  But even so, of course, chasing Madrid will be a difficult and impossible job for Barcelona at this time, not because Barcelona can't afford it, but I think with 8 games left, of course, it is difficult to see Madrid lose up to 2 consecutive matches.

The El Classico match is certainly an opportunity for Barcelona to get away from Girona and cut the gap from Madrid, but on the condition that they must be able to win the game, but I think to win El Classico at the moment is a difficult job because indeed this season Madrid has improved a lot compared to Barcelona, but despite it all, I am quite sure if Barcelona is currently still better than Girona and Barcelona's chances of finishing in the rankings Dua is also still better than Girona who are starting to perform inconsistently at this time.

It is impossible for Girona to let themselves lose and waste opportunities in the next three matches, they will definitely use their best strength to continue to win in every upcoming match. I am very confident that Girona will remain in the top three of the standings. I think the next match, when they play Atletico Madrid, must at least end in a draw so that Girona's points are not chased by Athletic Club. Míchel is already considering the strategy that should be used for the match on April 13th.

[QueenVera]

Barca is said to be the only team that can compete for the La Liga championship this season with Real, although there are not many chances. Xavi's teachers and students will not give up. They can dream of winning both La Liga and the Champions League again. The Girona phenomenon has shown signs of slowing down. They have dropped to third place in the rankings, 10 points behind the leading team, Real Madrid. With a team that relies heavily on inspiration like Girona, it is entirely possible that they will continue to decline. Barca is different; many factors can change the situation. There is still a chance for Xavi and his team. In football, there are always many surprises and miracles that happen. Xavi and his teammates must be determined until the last minute, even though they cannot win the title. That is still the spirit and responsibility of a great team.

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 was a boost for them especially as they head into the UCL game against Napoli. You can see how they’ve managed to fight all hard with their injury crisis.

 The best thing for Barcelona was just endurance whilst finding quick means out of the situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game. Well in as much as they were battled with that magnitude of setback as a team, the Spanish side still strived towards gaining good game results which also fueled their progress and performances in competitions to come.

 I won't say they did extremely well so far in the endeavors this season as definitely they had times of good news and good results and also times where they fell short of victory which was a negative effect to their journey so far this season. There's still a a few weeks left to the end of the season, but sadly I doubt that they can still make a wholesome difference, as Real Madrid and Girona would definitely give them a difficult time, they can also work towards staying in good shape for the UCL tournament games too and we'd see how good, well and far they'd go as weeks go by.

On the other hand, I also believe that Girona will be able to maintain their position in the top four of the standings, so that they will appear in the Champions League next season.

If this were to happen, at least Real Madrid would have to experience slipping in 4 of the remaining 8 matches. unfortunately, this will be difficult to achieve considering that Real Madrid is appearing with a positive trend, winning 8 points with 8 matches remaining. even though there is a possibility that this might happen, the hope is very slim. while Barcelona has many core players injured, and their performance is unstable. ideally, Barcelona can finish below Real Madrid. Apart from that, the two teams still have one meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu in Week 32. playing at Madrid headquarters, it will be difficult for Barca to win the match. but in any case, the El Clasico match will always be eagerly awaited by fans of both teams. However, I am sure that Barcelona's position will not be overtaken by Girona, apart from their unstable performance.

Girona will play a match against Atletico Madrid, at the Metropolitano. Incidentally, Diego Simeone's squad will not let their team lose at home. Moreover, they need full points so that their position is not overtaken by Bilbao. Well, actually the position that is a little doubtful is Girona. Apart from visiting Atletico Madrid, Girona also has one remaining match against Barcelona. So, in the remaining 8 matches, all teams will perform by appearing all out. in particular, the teams that are in the top four of the La Liga table. If Gorina doesn't want their position to fall into the top four of the standings, they must be consistent in every match until the end of the competition. otherwise, a Champions League ticket will be lost from their grasp.

Because Barcelona will still face several tough opponents in the remainder of this season, Barcelona's struggle to stay in second place in the standings until the end of the season is still not finished and still has to be fought very hard.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are always competing and are always in a high ranking and don't forget that Atletico Madrid is also always ranked not far from Barcelona and Madrid. Yes, this season Girona is always there to compete with Barcelona and Madrid, even as I remember, Girona once sat at the top of the standings. but now Madrid has succeeded in making Girona drop their position and Barcelona has now succeeded in shifting Girona's position.

but until now Girona is still compete to continue adding points and still wants to bring down Barcelona. and I agree with your opinion that Barcelona must still fight to maintain its current position.

So in essence, Xavi's troops are not yet safe in being in the runner up position because the point difference is small with Girona and Girona will continue to have adding points. Next, Girona will compete against Atletico Madrid and if Girona wins against Atletico Madrid then Barcelona's position will drop.

However, I personally believe that Barcelona will have the potential to be runners up until the end of the season and I am sure that Xavi will be able to make a good strategy to make Barcelona continue to win.

[ginsan]

In those 8 matches that remain before the end of this tournament will not affect Real Madrid points and their position, because they have the capacity to continue maintaining the first position till the end of the 8 matches. Barcelona and Girona are still trying their possible best to ensure they improve in their remaining matches so that they will not make any mistakes that will make Athletics club to take one of the position to be more close to Real Madrid. For Girona to reach this third position in the la Liga league table which they have never come close before, I think they will not give Athletic club any chance to use the remaining matches to top them.

Be it Real Madrid or Barcelona they can lose points if they are not consistent in the remaining games this season. But I think Real Madrid will be very focused on looking for victory in the remainder of this season because they don't want to waste the opportunity to become champions this season. I checked the opponents that Real Madrid will face in the remainder of this season, where their opponents are strong teams and they will also meet Barcelona. So the upcoming El Clasico match will show who will be champions this season because if Real Madrid beat Barcelona again then Barcelona will no longer have any hope of becoming champions.

Indeed, an 8 point lead is quite safe for Real Madrid because that is quite a large point difference. Barcelona only hopes that Real Madrid will lose points in the remaining matches this season and maybe that will be quite impossible to happen. Ancelotti will definitely put pressure on his team to play better in the remainder of this season because their target of becoming champions is getting closer because there are only 8 games left this season.
