La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[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.

[TopT3ns]

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.

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.

[Solokan]

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.

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.

[Blitzboy]

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.

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.

No doubt, Barcelona started poorly. Made us doubt them. But this comeback? Champions have that spirit. No doubt, they're finding their groove. Overtaking Madrid? No knock on Barca, but its a tall order. Madrid is that strong. This El Clasico? HUGE for Barcelona. Not just in the rankings, but to prove they're back and put Girona on edge. I think Barcelona is better than Girona right now, despite Girona's La Liga concentration.

This Girona situation is risky. With Barcelona juggling the Champions League, putting all their eggs in one basket could pay well. Barcelona thrives under duress. Girona is inconsistent. One mistake will put them against Atletico Madrid. Staying focused is important to them. Between us, they have a steep path to qualify for Champions League.

[Frankolala]

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.

El Classico will not determine who will be the champion this season, because we have already seen the club that have the higher chance of winning the league. It is not just any club but the best in Spain which is Real Madrid, so there should be no need for anyone to think that Real Madrid would drop points to the extend that Barcelona will become the winner of this season. This is not possible even in dream land.

Real Madrid will win Barcelona the second time if the clash again in El Classico, and I am very sure of that. Or are you now saying that Barcelona is currently in form than Real Madrid for you to feel that Real Madrid would drop points, and Barcelona will keep on winning the rest of their matches. Real Madrid have being topping the league for a very long time now, and Ancelotti is not dump for making it so.

[GxSTxV]

Who would have thought that Girona would have more chances to play in the Champions League this season than any other team behind the 3rd place ranking? (Many members here were doubting my predictions in the early matches of this season) well, It wasn’t an easy mission for them to keep up with the leaders having a humble team and coach as nobody was expecting the scenario for them, especially considering they held the 1st place in standings for quite some time before Real Madrid shifted things. Now, with only 8 matches remaining in LaLiga, I don't anticipate many changes or surprises in the standings.
I'm counting on Real Madrid to win the title this season. Barcelona wasted their chances with a shaky performance early on the season, however, they have made a strong comeback and have even reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Moreover, I have noticed the performance of Spanish teams elsewhere this season hasn't been as impressive as their dominance in other leagues in previous seasons, did anyone notice that too?

Girona's rise in the La Liga is really difficult not to notice. They were able to finish the last season in 10th place but now they have made a huge progress.    They don't have a very impressive squad compared to the biggest teams of the league now actually but the team effort is amazing. Besides despite not having one of the best squads they have some good talents in the squad.

Probably Girona will lose some important players in the summer and this would be really bad for them if they qualify for the Champions League. But I guess they would make some decent transfers for the Champions League too.

Girona's success in this season is massive and everyone is impressed but whether they will be able to maintain it in a next season and more seasons in future will be important for their club.

Will they become another Sevilla in La Liga, rising from a small club to a big one and most successful representatives of La Liga in Europe?

Girona can aim at that big target but it will need many years and with their limited finance, they will have to avoid breaking their club's salary ceiling for star players. They need to continue to find young and unknown players, grow these players up and gain more success from them. If Girona falls to a trap of lifting their salary ceiling, their finance will be unsustainable and will have risk of bankruptcy in future.

I really believe Real Madrid will not be loosing games at this point where they are just eight matches to be crowned the champions of the la Liga this season, the worse they can get at this point would be a draw and that wouldn't even be most occuring than the wins will be as this is enough boost for their mind not to give up the target to win the league title as they are very close to winning it than almost ever.

Barcelona would just try to maintain their second position on the table so they will be sure of their champions league spot for next season but they are most definitely going to make sure not to have so much losses but more of wins so they can maintain their point difference away from the team at the third position as their point difference isn't as much as that between Real Madrid at the top and Barcelona at the second position on the table. Real Madrid is trying to make possibilities in winning the laliga and also the champions league this season .

They will be sure if they can dare the champions league after they must have been able to win Manchester city in their next meeting and get to knock them out of the champions league as that's the only way for them to further increase their chances at the champions league because away from Manchester city i doubt if other teams would really be a problem to them if they happen to meet at the semifinals or finals.

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.

Each team has played 30 matches so far and each team has only few matches left. With only a few matches remaining, it is certain that Real Madrid is going to win the La Liga title this season. Real Madrid is in the number one position of the points table and Barcelona is in the number two position of the points table with 8 points less than Real Madrid, in that case Barcelona has no chance to go to number one of the points table. Girona, which is number three in the points table, has a considerable point gap with Barcelona, so these three teams may finish the season in second and third positions. Atlético Madrid have not done well this season and they may have to finish the season at number four or number five in the points table. 

Congratulations in advance to Real Madrid as they are going to celebrate the La Liga title very soon.

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.

Source: https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2024/4/8/24122896/barcelona-want-to-open-contract-renewal-talks-with-pedri

Barcelona must take the right steps immediately considering that Pedri is an official product of the La Masia academy and we know that Barcelona is always enthusiastic about having talented young players in its main squad. Pedri has been playing for Barcelona for quite a long time and I don't think he will want to leave Barcelona to join another team. Barcelona has become his home and maybe he also wants to become a club legend throughout his career.

The injury suffered by Pedri is very worrying and if it is not handled properly, he will often relapse and could be sidelined for quite a long time. It's a shame that at his age, he is said to be in his prime, but his greatness has to be delayed due to injury problems. We can only hope that Barcelona can extend his contract and also hope that Pedri doesn't get injured again.

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.

What is more threatened is not Girona but Atletico Madrid, because Atletico Madrid is only 2 points ahead of Atletico Bilbao who are directly below them. Atletico Madrid have to be very careful because once they lose, it is very likely that Atletico Bilbao will be able to catch up and move them to 4th position, while Girona is currently still quite safe even though they also have to do their best in every match.

Now the competition is being shown between Atletico Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, they cannot relax and have to focus in every game. Point by point is very valuable for them to ensure they can be in the best position in the standings and can advance to the Champions League next season.

Currently I still see Ateltico Madrid and Girona accompanying Real Madrid and Barcelona to the Champions League next season. However, this is not certain and maybe we need to see until the end of the competition to see which of them can be in the top 4 positions.

Girona's rise in the La Liga is really difficult not to notice. They were able to finish the last season in 10th place but now they have made a huge progress.    They don't have a very impressive squad compared to the biggest teams of the league now actually but the team effort is amazing. Besides despite not having one of the best squads they have some good talents in the squad.

When Girona were topping the top of Laliga, u was over impressed With their performance and I had to check if they signed new players maybe it was the reasons for their improvement and I was even surprised that they didn't bought any player last season, it was just improvement from the team and that consistency gave them a shout up this season but they fall off since they met with Real Madrid and hasn't been like before, something must be really wrong with them to be failing to win some teams they have won in the round 1 of the matches played.

Probably Girona will lose some important players in the summer and this would be really bad for them if they qualify for the Champions League. But I guess they would make some decent transfers for the Champions League too.

Maybe you mean to say they will bring in new players by end of the season. If the current squad that has brought the team to this spot left is the new players going to understand each other firmly and achieve a better result in the Champions League. I think there will be more addition of players this season and then renew some old players by 1 or 2 years extension and the future will depend on what they play for the next season.

[Velvet78]

By the way congratulations to Athletic Bilbao on their Copa del Rey victory. I totally forgot about the game while following big games in the Premier League in the meantime. 

I was expecting Athletic Bilbao to win easier than this honestly. Mallorca made them quite big difficulties as it seems. However I believe Athletic Bilbao really deserved this title anyway. This season they are playing at a much higher level. They are trying to take the last spot for the Champions League from Atletico Madrid in the La Liga on one hand you know. I don't feel like they will be successful on that though but let's see whether they can defeat Simeone in the competition. 

[LGD2Business]

Girona's success in this season is massive and everyone is impressed but whether they will be able to maintain it in a next season and more seasons in future will be important for their club.

I know the new owners are rich, why should they have budget difficulties? They achieved this success without spending a lot of money, so who knows what they could do if they spent a little more money. I think the new owners now have a more positive view of the team and will make good transfers this summer. A Girona playing in the Champions League can of course be successful by transferring experienced players who have played in this arena, even though they are inexperienced on a club basis. A completely different era begins for them. They need to show that this success is not temporary.
