La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[bering]

I just realized this weekend there is a big match between Atletico Madrid vs Girona and this is good chances for Atletico Madrid to cut their points gap with Girona because if they can able to do that then Atletico Madrid only have 4 points below to Girona and i have been discuss about this before because during 2024 i can see Girona performance was decline this because since January until this month Girona has suffering several loses which makes their position on league table was overtaked by Barcelona and some people believe Girona players was fatigue from their mentally because for each week they have to playing with under pressure

And for Atletico Madrid their performance is not so different compared to last season because until week 30 Atletico Madrid is still at top 4 position or Champion league zone and about this match previously both teams were met at January and Girona can win with narrow scores from Atletico Madrid but currently i think it will be different because i was says this plenty that Atletico Madrid is very strong at their home and i am sure they can take revenge from Girona and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume the bookmakers will give high odds for Atletico Madrid win

[X-ray]

Girona have very good chance to end in top four and I am not think Girona can finish the season at a third position but a fourth position is their ending position in my opinion. Girona will have to struggle to defend their third position against pressure from Atletico Madrid but with big gap against Athletic Club, Girona are able to win against the competitor at the fifth position.

A fourth position will be enough for Girona and they have 9 points as big advantage now. The match with Atletico Madrid is a next big match for Girona and if they can have a draw or win, they will have another good match to the finish day. Their target for the match will be at least a draw as if they lose it, Athletic Club can potentially reduce point difference to 6 points.

3 clubs from third to fifth positions in last five matches are very similar, only Girona is a little bit better with one more winning. Each of them have 2 defeats in last five matches.

I think Girona's current position is 3rd in the standings, by looking at a few more matches I think Girona will be able to occupy the top 4 of the Spanish league standings. With the point difference between Atletico Madrid reaching 7 points, at least in the next match we will remain focused on beating them so that the distance between them will increase. It's not easy to win this weekend's match, because Atletico Madrid will of course play attacking because they are also in the shadow of the competitors below them with a difference of only 2 points. If Atletico Madrid cannot win against Girona, of course Bilbao will be the main competitor to fight for the top 4 positions until the end of all matches.

The upcoming match will be the most important for Girona because the club will face Atletico Madrid as its next opponent in la liga. As long as Girona can take three points from Atletico Madrid, I'm confident they'll be able to secure a spot in the UCL next season and this is a golden momentum for girona to make it happen.



The odds for the upcoming game. It should be noted that the next game will be away for Girona. ATM is favored to win against Girona because of their good home record, but the odds are showing that Bookies have enough trust in the Girona as the gap to the ATM is not that big.

I strongly believe that BTTS will occur in this game. It's hard to believe that Girona will lose three points in this game. Girona's odds are reasonable to bet but it's involving the bigger risk. I think the safest bet will be double chance ATM or draw.

In this match, there are two reliable choices for betting with high risk.

1. BTTS
2. Girona wins or draws.

There is also less risk choice to bet like ATM win or draw (double chance).

ATM performed poorly in their previous match against Girona. The club is making an effort to perform better in the upcoming game. Missing three points means ATM will finish in fourth place, the last spot to qualify for the UCL next season.

[Litzki1990]

There is a 7 point gap between Girona and Athletico Madrid, and they would still be fourth if they drop there, there is a 9 point difference between Athletic Club as well, so it wouldn't be really all that simple. We are talking about just 8 games left, expecting Girona to lose 9 more points than Athletic Club in the last 8 weeks would be a little weird.

I hope that people could find a way to make that work, I can't really see how that would be any different, but if that is what we are looking at then we should be considering the situation to be important. I personally believe that what we have right now would not be easy, and we do need the situation to be a little bit easy for Girona to end at UCL levels this season without a doubt.

In the English Premier League, as the first team and the second team are number one and number two with equal points, the point difference between the second team and the third team is only 1, but the situation of the La Liga points table is not like this at all. In La Liga we can see every team leading with every other team having enough points. Real Madrid is at the number one position in the points table and Barcelona is at the second position in the points table. Real Madrid are at the top of the points table with a considerable lead over Barcelona. Barcelona have amassed fewer points from second place than Girona from third place. That is, there is a considerable gap of points of each team with all the teams that are in the position of 1 to 5 and it may not be possible to adjust this gap until the end of the season.

There is a 7 point gap between Girona and Athletico Madrid, and they would still be fourth if they drop there, there is a 9 point difference between Athletic Club as well, so it wouldn't be really all that simple. We are talking about just 8 games left, expecting Girona to lose 9 more points than Athletic Club in the last 8 weeks would be a little weird

Girona coach will not allow it to happen in their remaining matches, because they have loss a lot in some few matches that made their position to dropped down to third position, and their coach has discovered the causes of their mistakes which they will never allow such mistakes to happen again. Athletic club has performed well in this season to defeated many teams to get to this fourth position, and if Girona repeat their mistakes that brought their points down in their remaining matches, they will take the position from Girona. Real Madrid is still toping the la Liga league table which many people know that they are in a good position to win the title and Barcelona will struggle for second position because Girona is still close to Barcelona to make mistakes so that they can take the second position back from them to make their fans celebrate them.

[klidex]

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.

Of course, because Real Madrid has widened the gap with the clubs below it, the remaining matches this season will not affect Real Madrid's position at the top of the standings and it is also impossible for Real Madrid to make mistakes or experience consecutive defeats in the remaining matches because they have tried hard so far his is to win the La Liga title. Meanwhile, Girona itself will also do the same thing, they will refocus on no longer losing stability which causes a decline in performance. Indeed, Girona has widened the gap with the Athletic club, but Girona still has to appear consistent so that the clubs below do not have the opportunity to overtake.

Barcelona will also try as hard as they can to maintain their runner up position. They also don't want Girona to overtake Barcelona again in second place, therefore Barcelona must remain careful every time they play a match for the remainder of this season and must remain consistent so that Girona is not able to overtake Barcelona in the second place second place. It will be a big achievement for Girona this season if he is able to stay in the top 3 because he will experience competing in a prestigious competition which is of course a new challenge for Girona.

[wiss19]

I think Girona have been improving gradually over the years and the fact that their players have been playing together for long is another thing to their advantage. I don't expect expect to change anytime soon and that will mean that they would have transfoed from a low club to a top team. Of they eventually qualify for champions league next season in line with the expectations of their teaming supporters, that will be a big boost to their morale and team spirit. Indeed the future is looking so bright for them.

La Liga is not easy and very tough for mediocre teams. With the presence of Real Madrid and Barcelona, these average teams thinks they're capable of withstanding the pressure coming their path? It's funny how these teams fight really hard to accumulate points and when they've been the at the top, all of a sudden, they dropped and even returned back worse. Girona was expected to maintain the lead but they fall from the top and they're having complications to maintain their streak winnings. However I wouldn't blame them because they're average team and they have been doing everything to rise back up but it doesn't seem to be happening.

There are many reasons we are having drop of spots and points for the teams which came from the down and up and then suddenly again gone down one if mostly coaches keep strategy on uphill and having no changes which hurt their performance as many competitor coaches learn their ways and give them tough challenge which bring their performance and quality down, and they have to face the worst things but in case of Girona we are having some better things now after poor results they are fighting back and having improvement as well.

Most chances now we will have significant changes in their performance and things will be also well for their future in Champions League because we are going to have better changes as owners are surely happy and now looking for this club to stay at the top ranks for the long time.

[piebeyb]

Barcelona will also try as hard as they can to maintain their runner up position. They also don't want Girona to overtake Barcelona again in second place, therefore Barcelona must remain careful every time they play a match for the remainder of this season and must remain consistent so that Girona is not able to overtake Barcelona in the second place second place. It will be a big achievement for Girona this season if he is able to stay in the top 3 because he will experience competing in a prestigious competition which is of course a new challenge for Girona.

There is no difference if Barcelona is in the runner up or third position because it is the same as getting a UCL ticket next season. The point is to be in the top four, you don't have to be in the runner up position and to maintain it, the point is that being in the top four is more than enough. Moreover, even though Girona managed to overtake Barcelona without any results, it's still the Laliga title for Madrid and UCL tickets for the four teams in the final standings, Barcelona might also focus more on the UCL because they have a chance there.

Barcelona knows enough that they can't catch up with Madrid who are at the top of the standings, that's why they are more focused on the UCL for now and I'm also sure that Girona wants to maintain their position in the top four and it will be impossible for them to overtake Barcelona, who are still playing very well so far. consistent until now, so there will be no chance for Girona to overtake Barcelona, against PSG it will certainly be a difficult match for me. Barcelona is more focused on thinking about how to get through to the next round and beat PSG.

[Solokan]

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.

Girona will definitely not waste the opportunity because Girona is still competing with Barcelona for the runner up title. Of course, in the upcoming match, Michel will not allow any team to beat Girona and in the next match, Girona will be faced with several teams for 3 teams. The next thing that Girona will face is Atletico Madrid Cadiz and Las Palmas. I think Atletico Madrid will be difficult for Girona to beat, even though in the first meeting this season Girona managed to beat Atletico Madrid, however, Atletico Madrid is a strong team and in terms of strength, it cannot taken for granted. but if it's against Cadiz and Las Palmas I think Girona will be able to handle it well.

Girona certainly has a big chance of remaining in the top 3 of Laliga but of course there is still a chance to shift Barcelona's position, but if you look at the difference in points between Girona and Atletico Madrid then of course there is currently a difference of 7 points which will certainly make Girona confident.

Michel will definitely prepare everything well for the match which will be played on April 13 and Michel will definitely try to make Girona perform better in the next match.

[RaltcoinsB]

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 think Girona have been improving gradually over the years and the fact that their players have been playing together for long is another thing to their advantage.

Indeed the future is looking so bright for them.

Of course, the future looks bright for the players because the fact that this squad is pushing for the top positions in La Liga means that the big teams will pay extra attention to Girona players. Girona is having a dream year this year. I also wonder where the players will be in the coming years.

Girona have good players in their team, they played very well in the beginning and then they fell behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in the points table.  However, Girona's quality of play is still quite good.  So expect something better from them in the next season. The way they played at the start of the series looked like they might be going to beat the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona this year but they failed.

As a result of losing both matches to Real Madrid, Girona fell from the top. They couldn't recover afterwards, but no one expected such a performance from Girona when they started the season. They are having a great season and their players are playing really well. Tactically, they are great things that they reflect in the game. Even though Girona could not reach the championship, they left a great mark in La Liga as a team.

[Hirose UK]

There is a 7 point gap between Girona and Athletico Madrid, and they would still be fourth if they drop there, there is a 9 point difference between Athletic Club as well, so it wouldn't be really all that simple. We are talking about just 8 games left, expecting Girona to lose 9 more points than Athletic Club in the last 8 weeks would be a little weird

Girona coach will not allow it to happen in their remaining matches, because they have loss a lot in some few matches that made their position to dropped down to third position, and their coach has discovered the causes of their mistakes which they will never allow such mistakes to happen again. Athletic club has performed well in this season to defeated many teams to get to this fourth position, and if Girona repeat their mistakes that brought their points down in their remaining matches, they will take the position from Girona. Real Madrid is still toping the la Liga league table which many people know that they are in a good position to win the title and Barcelona will struggle for second position because Girona is still close to Barcelona to make mistakes so that they can take the second position back from them to make their fans celebrate them.

That should don't be the case because the difference in points is quite large, if Atletico Madrid can actually match or surpass it in the remaining matches, then that means Girona will suffer several defeats during the remaining matches.
It just that I don't believe that Girona will experience several mistakes that will cause them to lose in the future because there is only one complicated match, namely against Barcelona.
For the next match against Atletico Madrid, I think Girona will still be able to show satisfactory results even though it is an away match, at least sharing the points by achieving draw is pretty good solution rather than losing.

In fact, I still have feeling of optimism if Girona is able to surpass Barcelona, which is currently only 2 points apart, Barcelona has derby match against Real Madrid and this is chance of defeat for Barcelona.
If in the derby Barcelona loses to Real Madrid and the Barcelona vs Girona match ends in draw because they performed optimally in the home match then Girona has the opportunity to become runner-up.

The way they played at the start of the series looked like they might be going to beat the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona this year but they failed.

You know, I would not rush to talk about the next season for Girona, and the reason is that I have seen many times how after a successful season, a previously little-known team, they sold a lot of players and the next season for them was much worse.

It is already known about some players that they will move to another team, imagine if someone buys Dovbyk and other team leaders, in which case the club will earn very good money, but the next season will most likely be a failure for them, because they will again look for young people players who are unlikely to be able to repeat the team’s success, especially since Champions League matches will be added to the games in La Liga.

Indeed the future is looking so bright for them.

They have improved drastically and it could be due to the fact that they have played together for long or because they have a good chemistry with each other and the coaches. Keeping the same players for more years would be difficult because bigger teams will come for their star players because they are a small team and every player dreams of playing for a bigger club. Sooner or later big teams will come for their star players and when they do it will affect them and their style of play. They should enjoy this moment while they can because they will soon go back to being inferior team as they used to be.

[reagansimms]

Of course, the future looks bright for the players because the fact that this squad is pushing for the top positions in La Liga means that the big teams will pay extra attention to Girona players. Girona is having a dream year this year. I also wonder where the players will be in the coming years.

Girona improving performance gave its players an advantage, they gave them a surprise when they managed to top the standings. It is clear that what Girona achieved this season was never predicted, they made Real Madrid fight hard to win first place. The big changes that occurred in Girona's squad made other clubs start to look at their players. This situation was very beneficial for the players because they had the opportunity to play for a big team, while Girona was forced to look for new players to fill the empty positions.

Usually clubs like this will find it difficult to maintain their performance, for example Leicester City and Napoli, after these two teams succeeded in winning the title race in their respective leagues, they immediately fell from the top four positions due to several of their star players being poached by other teams. Girona might experience the same thing next season if some of their star players choose to leave the club.

[rendravolt]

I think Almeria and Granada will definitely be relegated this season but there is one more team that will accompany them at the end of the season. If you look at the standings there is Cadiz but it is also possible that they will survive this season. It will be hell for either team and the competition at the bottom of the table will continue until the end.

The reason is that there are several teams that have a point difference that is not that far from Celta Vigo, Vallecano, Mallorca, Sevilla and Alaves, which could be one of the teams on the relegation list along with Almeria and Granada. There are 8 matches left for all teams in La Liga and this will be very decisive. I think it would be very surprising if Sevilla were relegated, do you have the same view? considering that this team always has difficulty competing at the bottom.

[rahmad2nd]

There is no difference if Barcelona is in the runner up or third position because it is the same as getting a UCL ticket next season. The point is to be in the top four, you don't have to be in the runner up position and to maintain it, the point is that being in the top four is more than enough. Moreover, even though Girona managed to overtake Barcelona without any results, it's still the Laliga title for Madrid and UCL tickets for the four teams in the final standings, Barcelona might also focus more on the UCL because they have a chance there.

Barcelona knows enough that they can't catch up with Madrid who are at the top of the standings, that's why they are more focused on the UCL for now and I'm also sure that Girona wants to maintain their position in the top four and it will be impossible for them to overtake Barcelona, who are still playing very well so far. consistent until now, so there will be no chance for Girona to overtake Barcelona, against PSG it will certainly be a difficult match for me. Barcelona is more focused on thinking about how to get through to the next round and beat PSG.

The point is, Barcelona must maintain its ranking in the top four of the La Liga standings. Since Barca is currently in the runner up position, it is appropriate for them to maintain it rather than experience a decline in ranking. Moreover, if Barca loses momentum towards a Champions League ticket. So, it's natural for Barcelona to defend its title, especially since Barcelona is one of the elite teams in this competition. As for Girona, they could overtake Barcelona's position. However, with the same unstable performance, plus having several crucial matches, it seems difficult for Girona to become runners up until the end of this competition. After all, as you said, the most important thing is that staying in the top four is enough to be able to compete again in the Champions League next season.

By the way, that doesn't mean Barcelona can't catch Real Madrid at the top of the standings with 8 games remaining. However, it will be very difficult for Barcelona, ​​considering the condition of Barcelona itself, as well as Real Madrid's performance which is currently in a positive trend. So, the most ideal thing is to maintain consistency in La Liga and do his job with his best game in the Champions League. because, to overthrow Paris Saint-Germain is not an easy matter. There are not many choices, Xavi must focus more on the most ideal position for his squad. At the very least, in Xavi's final season with Barcelona, ​​he must do his best, including overthrowing PSG in the quarter-finals.

As a result of losing both matches to Real Madrid, Girona fell from the top. They couldn't recover afterwards, but no one expected such a performance from Girona when they started the season. They are having a great season and their players are playing really well. Tactically, they are great things that they reflect in the game. Even though Girona could not reach the championship, they left a great mark in La Liga as a team.

Didn't mean to disrespect Girona, but if they can't finish at least in the top 5 positions, I don't think the effort they spent are worth because they need to get something. People don't care with the process, they need to see the results.

Since Girona has been fell from the first position, Girona won't able to make good amount of money by selling their players since other teams will think they were just lucky.

[Gallar]

There is a 7 point gap between Girona and Athletico Madrid, and they would still be fourth if they drop there, there is a 9 point difference between Athletic Club as well, so it wouldn't be really all that simple. We are talking about just 8 games left, expecting Girona to lose 9 more points than Athletic Club in the last 8 weeks would be a little weird.

I hope that people could find a way to make that work, I can't really see how that would be any different, but if that is what we are looking at then we should be considering the situation to be important. I personally believe that what we have right now would not be easy, and we do need the situation to be a little bit easy for Girona to end at UCL levels this season without a doubt.

In my opinion, Girona's potential to enter the UCL is very wide open this season. The reason is, as you said, Girona, who is currently in 3rd position, has a fairly large point difference with the teams in 4th and 5th positions in La Liga. So there is no need to doubt Girona's fate this season. The reason is that all this time Girona has always played quite well and even experienced the top position in La Liga. This gives a clear picture that Girona does have very good quality and it is not a coincidence that Girona can reach its current position. So basically don't assume that Girona is a team that has only been in the first division (Laliga) for a few seasons and will have difficulty staying in the top 4. Because in reality, in the last two seasons, Girona has always appeared pretty consistent. So I personally have no doubts about Girona regarding their chances of qualifying for the UCL.

And, Girona's match against Atletico Madrid will take place this week. In my opinion, this match will not make Girona's position in the La Liga standings unsafe. The reason is that in this match, Girona has the potential to win or draw. Because if you look at the last meeting between Girona and Atletico Madrid, the result was won by Girona (although they won narrowly). So in this match the benchmarks will not be much different from previous meetings. Therefore, I assume Girona has a chance to win the match or draw against Atletico Madrid.

Didn't mean to disrespect Girona, but if they can't finish at least in the top 5 positions, I don't think the effort they spent are worth because they need to get something. People don't care with the process, they need to see the results.

Since Girona has been fell from the first position, Girona won't able to make good amount of money by selling their players since other teams will think they were just lucky.

For now Girona still has a good record on this league because they are still on a good position and however there is no way Girona will end up on 5 position of this league regardless of there lapses lately because right now apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona I don't think there is any team good enough to easily bring Girona down from the third position of the table, however from there performance you will see that they seem more comfortable on there current position because they no that they will never have chance against Real Madrid, so they feel the best way is to maintain there position on the table in other for them to qualify for champions league next season.
