La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

I'm not sure about the method of selling young players at high prices because after all, Barcelona also bring in young players at big costs. Because I think, Barcelona very rarely have young players with great potential obtained from their own academy, and what usually happens Barcelona more often recruits players at large fees, whether it's young players or senior players who have entered retirement age. But even though Barcelona managed to bring in players at a large cost, after that Barcelona decreased player salaries. Perhaps, this factor also makes players uncomfortable at Barcelona so that Barcelona is difficult to be consistent with good performance throughout the season.

Because this season, Barcelona didn't win any titles, it is very likely that management will carry out a major overhaul of the team, Xavi will definitely leave Barcelona and there are also rumors that Barcelona will sell several young players such as young Barcelona midfielder "Faye", there were also rumors that Lewandowski will move to an Arab club but Lewandowski emphasized loudly that he will remain at Barcelona, Barcelona is really in trouble i think.

I didn't expect that Girona would be this good this season, they could be among the clubs that are used to being in the top rankings, and even this season they could be said to be better than Atletico Madrid. I say they are better than Atletico Madrid based on the standings they occupy now. The reason is that Atletico is usually ranked in the top 3 towards the end of the competition, but this season they have to be ranked 4th below Girona.

Even if they can be consistent, they could still be competing with Real Madrid to become champions. It's just that their mentality is not yet good enough to accept all the pressure that exists when they are at the top, so they start to experience a loss of balance which causes them to be thrown out of the competition to become champions. But whatever results they get this season, they can already show something extraordinary. because it's not easy to be in that position in La Liga.

Girona certainly surprised us all with the achievements they have achieved now from season to season. Girona always makes progress and of course this season Girona's performance is quite good, although sometimes there are times when not all matches are consistently won, but yes, we deserve to congratulate Girona on their extraordinary achievements. in this season. Yes, of course, if you look at the standings, Girona is now better than Atletico Madrid and also has a 7 point difference with Atletico Madrid, but if you look at the last match against Atletico Madrid, Girona lost with a score of 3-1, but if you look at ball control, Girona is of course still superior.

It's true that it's a shame for Girona that he couldn't maintain his consistency when he was at the top of the standings and of course, if he could always consistently win in every match, he would certainly be competing fiercely with Real Madrid for the honest but yes, I agree with you with you the current achievements achieved by Girona, it is indeed a good achievement because it is not easy to be in 3rd place in Laliga.

and I also hope that Michel can make Girona even better in the future so that they can win the title next season because it seems that this season it is very difficult for Girona to become champions because Ancelotti's troops and Xavi's troops are really performing very well Laliga.

Barcelona having one of the worst performances this season, losing El Clasico home and away to Real Madrid and this is certainly no good news for them. Barcelona board have to restrategized and put the team back together. I don't think Xavi Hernandez will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, we have alot going on already but we should also understand the current horrible form Barcelona found themselves. They've struggled to win matches and also losing vital chances of lifting major titles.

Girona's performance this season is impressive. I thought Girona wouldn't be able to remain in the top four of La Liga since Real Madrid overtook them in the first position in the La Liga table. But Girona was able to handle the pressure and remain in the top four of La Liga. Girona just needs to win one match in their remaining five matches in the league to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League competition.

Honestly speaking Girona really tried no matter what anyone thinks about them because they took everyone by surprise because initially they conquered a lot of big teams in Spain before Real Madrid humbled themand if not that Real Madrid didn't give Girona any breathing space when they were topping the table, Girona would have still been a title contender but Real Madrid killed their morale after winning them back to back and those winnings destroyed Girona's optimism for a league title so had it been Real Madrid allowed Girona to have some gaps just like Bayern Munich allowed Bayern Leverkusen to top them with some gaps then Girona would have utilized the opportunity but when Real Madrid couldn't give them a chance they lost that zeal and Real Madrid took the mantle and afterwards leads the top table with some reasonable points and of which they are almost at the verge of winning the la Liga title.

The best for Girona is to fight for the Champions league next season because a lot of teams in the la Liga before Girona has not been able to achieve that so Girona making it to champions league next season will be a good achievement for the team considering when they just came and to make such impact in the league is an applaudable achievement for the team.

Yea, I agree with you to an extent, girona performed above expectation this season because if we are to consider some fact, girona did well compared to other season, the game of soccer is not easy, so any team that did great should be praised, no doubt Madrid quenched the fire in them but I still give it to them because it wasn't an easy thing, although I never expected girona to win the league, they can be one of the performer but lifting the trophy was not my expectation for them.
For now Realmadrid is formidable force in the laliga and I don't see any team that can contend with them presently in their league.
I will continue to praise girona because they were able to prove fans wrong and that has given every team the mind that hard work pays.

It has been clear that Xavi will stay in Barcelona and won't leave Barcelona next season. because Barcelona has been successful in convincing Xavi to stay there.

But, aside from what Xavi decision, yaa, Barcelona has some decreases compared to previous season:
- Not winning any trophy
- Losing to All El Clasico Match

However, at least, Xavi has tried to make Barcelona better, even though it will not be as smooth and not as good as his previous achievements. It's not just that the opposing team is much stronger and more varied this season, but also Barcelona's performance at the start of the season was not good enough.

Getafe 0  vs  2   Athletic Club
ongoing match until 90+3

2 red cards in 1 club, and still wining with 2 goals and no any conceded goal, it is not only a matter of luck, but this is how Bilbao could struggle and strengthened their back when those two center backs got the red cards.

Even though I am not a Barcelona fan, this is good news that Xavi has changed his mind to stay with Barcelona as their head coach. Since Xavi became Barcelona's head coach, he has helped the club win the La Liga title, even when Barcelona was not financially stable enough to sign some quality players that could help Xavi perform well as a coach.

The bad things experienced by Barcelona this season can only be improved last season because this season there is no longer time for Barcelona to make overall improvements. So Barcelona must take time after this season is over and continue to live the remainder of this season with optimism even though Barcelona did not win any trophies this season. And I think what Barcelona experienced this season was a serious blow to everyone in the team so that Xavi Hernandez must find a way to bring Barcelona back to glory next season.

Consistency performance of Girona this season make us surprised with usually teams defend half season only lead top position standings, but Girona become difference with usually team has dominance until half season only after success leading the 3rd standings awhile and has chance moving to 2nd place if can beat Barcelona tonight.
Girona has great opportunity secure three points against Barcelona because not only moving up to 2nd place awhile but also will secure the Champion League spot standing for next season behind 13 points left from Athletic Bilbao can't reach yet with four matches left.
After beating by Atletico Madrid over 3-1, last two matches Girona back to winning perform and has good capital for facing Barcelona and most important three points will get appearance for the first time in Champion League competition next season.

And I think what Barcelona experienced this season was a serious blow to everyone in the team

Despite winning the La Liga title last season, Barcelona's performance this season has not been good. Especially I would say we don't see better performance than Barcelona in important matches. Barcelona team unexpectedly lost against Real Madrid. It's been a harrowing season for Barcelona fans. We expected a better performance from the big team from Barcelona.

so that Xavi Hernandez must find a way to bring Barcelona back to glory next season.

Based on the news so far, Xavi is probably not interested in staying with Barcelona next season. Barcelona need to find a more experienced coach. If the coach is not experienced, we will not see the improvement of the situation of Barcelona. At the same time, the Barcelona management must prepare huge funds for the purchase of players. Even if the squad is not strong, I don't see any chance of improvement in Barcelona's overall performance.

I think this decision is a good thing for Xavi's future because it will help him gain new experience in deepening his coaching instincts to become more mature. If the news is true then this decision is the right thing for Xavi to take, even though there are many memories that Xavi has missed. with Barcelona to bring Barcelona back to the point where Barcelona was able to release Xavi, at least winning LaLiga was much more sufficient and brought Barcelona to play across Europe like the Champions League.

I think the ups and downs that occur in a team are very normal. Barcelona has to accept the bitter reality this season because they are completely unable to bring home any trophies. Xavi should not be the person to blame for the decline in performance, but it must be remembered that he is the figure who was able to return the Blaugrana back to competition since the team experienced a quite drastic decline in performance several seasons ago. For this season, if Barca is able to finish as runners-up then that will be quite good and in my opinion their performance is not that bad. Barcelona management should give Xavi time without accusing him so that he decides to resign as coach. I think it will be even more difficult for El Barca next season if it is handled by a new coach, because it is not easy to manage a team as big as Barcelona which has fans who have very high demands.

After suffering a very long injury, Courtois will finally return to the field in the match against Cadiz. Ancelotti doesn't want to take risks with a fairly busy schedule because UCL leg 2 also requires players with very optimal conditions, Lunin needs better preparation and minimize goals conceded like leg 1. So Cadiz is the right opponent to field his squad who are on the reserve bench and Arda Guler is confirmed to return to the starting XI. Ancelotti wants to continue to grow his players self confidence. And the result of the match against Cadiz is important enough to confirm Madrid this season in La Liga as champions.

Especially for Courtois, Madrid remaining matches in La Liga will be very important for him to continue playing, because Lunin will currently focus on the UCL. The reason Courtois uses La Liga is because Madrid no longer needs to worry about winning or losing, the most important thing is that Courtois can use this as an exercise to stabilize what he has missed a lot during his injury.

Bad news for bayern, good news for madrid. Real madrid will have its main goal keeper to comeback again. We do know how good curtois is. No doubt that he will be likely taking lunin's position as soon as possible. I strongly believe that if the la liga matches gonna be used by ancellotti to test him whether he has been fully recovering from injury.
This means that if lunin may back again to the bench after curtois will able to play for the full time match with real madrid. I forgot to mention that if this is also a bad news for lunin caused by he must be competing with curtois again soon.
Kepa will be back to the chelsea as real madrid is not keen in extending his loan from chelsea. Curtois is gonna back soon. Welcome back curtois. bayern may take it even more difficult to score in the second leg caused by curtois will be there.

Getafe 0  vs  2   Athletic Club

2 red cards in 1 club, and still wining with 2 goals and no any conceded goal, it is not only a matter of luck, but this is how Bilbao could struggle and strengthened their back when those two center backs got the red cards.

Obviously, it wasn't luck, it's just that Getafe failed to maximize the advantage they got when Athletic Club played with 10 players, especially Mason Greenwood failed to execute a penalty, and Athletic Club, who was already 2-0 up before the first red card, kept their goal very effectively despite getting attack from Getafe.

Mason Greenwood can be said to be quite lucky because he was able to find a club that gave him a lot of playing time and he has so far managed to give his best for his club Getafe with 8 goals and 6 assists in his first season at this club, it's just that Getafe is not a big club that he will be able to to win the title, but his current performance will attract a lot of attention from elite clubs, especially as it is reported that Manchester United will indeed sell him.

Barcelona having one of the worst performances this season, losing El Clasico home and away to Real Madrid and this is certainly no good news for them. Barcelona board have to restrategized and put the team back together. I don't think Xavi Hernandez will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, we have alot going on already but we should also understand the current horrible form Barcelona found themselves. They've struggled to win matches and also losing vital chances of lifting major titles.

Now, let's analyze this from another angle, from the perspective of the managers handling both clubs and their managerial experiences. If you try to compare the experience of Carlo Ancelotti and that of Xavi Hernandez you will come to the realization that the former is more experienced than the latter by far, and will always bring his years of experience into the games they play in terms of strategy and player coordination as well as resilience and motivation to players.

Although we will all agree with the fact that Xavi Hernandez was a great player who made landmark of achievements during his years at as a Barca professional player, nevertheless, he had just started his managerial career in 2019 with a Qatari sports club called Al-Sadd before subsequently moving to Barcelona, his former club, in 2021 as their coach. Whereas, when you look at the career of Carlo Ancelotti, aside from being the present manager of the Real Madrid club, he was also a former Real Madrid manager between the year 2013 and 2015. He had started his career as a coach since 1992 as an assistant coach and 1995 as a head coach, spanning over two decades of experience as a manager of both clubs and national teams.

You definitely don't want to ignore these experiences when you factor it into the performance of both clubs at the El-Castillo challenge.

[HajiBagi]

I do agree that fans of clubs like Barcelona keeps expecting at least one cup per season, and if you end up with zero cups for the season, they will end up wanting more and will be quite upset. Barcelona end up being quite upset because they ended up with nothing this season and that of course upsets the fans, but to be fair they are growing and getting better.

With all the young players they have, they are getting better, they are going to get rid of some of the players that gets paid a lot, and will replace those players with cheaper ones as well next season, and not only they will do better financially, but they will also be able to sell these young players for a lot of money to recover from their debts in the future as well.

Barcelona is the kind of team that always wants to end a season by winning even a single trophy, this season, we can see how Barcelona fans are angry with the coach to the extent that they are blaming him for the team's performance, I have observed Barcelona that they are the type of team that did not want to have mistakes in their team and if you look at the team you will see that they don’t have enough money to buy players from the beginning of the season, after seeing the team struggling they bring their young players to show their talents and now with the help of those young players Barcelona performance looks good.

Barcelona can make their team look good next season by using more young players in their team and also selling some of the players so that they can get money to settle their debt, imagine a team like Barcelona is still owing dept and still can afford good players for the past two years now, this is a very shameful thing, Barcelona did not know how to manage their players and their finance that is why they are in all this problem today, and the way I’m seeing Barcelona again they will remain without buying new players next season again.

Getafe 0  vs  2   Athletic Club
ongoing match until 90+3

How can Getafe not be able to optimize this opportunity very well to score a goal, even 1. This was negative because 2 center backs from Bilbao received red cards in the second half. However, Getafe has not been able to score a single goal so far. Indeed, they became more dominant and several times launched attacks against Bilba. but the results are not that accurate and strong.

Is a very disappointing match for Getafe because even if they may not have been on the same performance with Athletic Bilbao but they should have at least manage and draw the match yesterday because the opportunity was actually right in front of them but because of their inconsistency they could not make use of it, funny enough Athletic Bilbao got their first red card very early towards 58 minutes of the match when their was enough time for Getafe to make good use of the opportunity and it doesn't even end their Athletic Bilbao still went ahead to get more extra two red card making it total of 3 red card but still Athletic Bilbao managed to outperform Getafe and defend their goals.

So perhaps I actually commend on Athletic Bilbao because it takes only a club with consistent performance to perform the way they did on that match when they were playing with short 3 players, well is good for Athletic Bilbao because after wining this match they have been able to come close towards qualifying to champions league next season but only if they can beat Atletico Madrid in terms of points because currently Atletico Madrid has 3 points above Athletic Bilbao.

Before the red card, Athletic Club were already 2 goals ahead and when they lost one of their players due to a red card in the 60th minute, the Athletic Club players had started to implement a fairly strong defensive team game so that Getafe did not have space to score.

These are two teams that have different motivations, Getafe no longer has any possibility because they will still stay in the middle of the standings while Athletic Club is competing to finish in the European zone so they have more motivation to win this match so I think victory Athletic Club is quite a natural thing.

In this match, Getafe and Bilbao are considered "evenly matched," even though their recent performance has been subpar. Even Getafe has a homh-field advantage, but everything on the Coliseum field favors the away team. In this match, Bilbao took a 2-0 lead thanks to Inaki Williams' double in the first half. After the break, the away team was reduced to 9 players when Yeray Alvarez and Aitor Paredes were sent off. However, I see that Getafe cannot take advantage to score. I don't know whether to blame Mason Greenwood or not because he missed the opportunity to score in Getafe's 2-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao. On the day, goalkeeper Simon played so well that Greenwood and his teammates could not score at home. In total, Bilbao suffered 34 shots in the match, but all 9 of Getafe's shots on target were successfully blocked by goalkeeper Simon. The creator of this victory was probably goalkeeper Simon.

Based on the news so far, Xavi is probably not interested in staying with Barcelona next season. Barcelona need to find a more experienced coach. If the coach is not experienced, we will not see the improvement of the situation of Barcelona. At the same time, the Barcelona management must prepare huge funds for the purchase of players. Even if the squad is not strong, I don't see any chance of improvement in Barcelona's overall performance.

This news continues to be confusing, first Xavi has decided to leave at the end of the season, but again comes with an agreement that he will stay with Barcelona until his contract expires in 2025, then added to the news you just brought, Xavi not interested in staying with Barcelona. In conclusion Barcelona management has no choice because looking for a new coach does not necessarily mean they want to manage a club with poor financial conditions. Like it or not Xavi is the only option they can still talk to. In the future, Laporta must also listen to Xavi input and desires to build the club. That's the only thing that can make Xavi feel comfortable as Barcelona coach. Regardless of Barcelona financial condition, this means there must be players to sell in the upcoming transfer market. De Jong also seems to need to be sacrificed for the umpteenth time, Manchester United may still be interested in making a further offer to De Jong.

[bering]

Bilbao was playing with 9 players since 79 minutes and indeed after red card incident Getafe can control ball possession but Getafe was unable to scores and during the match Getafe gets 34 total of shots but those statistics seems unless because Getafe was failed to scores and actually Getafe was gets the penalty kick but unfortunately Greenwood was failed that opportunity to make a goal and for Bilbao after several times gets poor results finally they can return to the winning ways again today and currently Bilbao has 3 points below to Atletico Madrid the team from 4th place

Real Madrid vs Cadiz and to lock first place and became an the champion of this season mathematically Real Madrid at least have to gets 2 wins again and today i am sure Real Madrid won't missed the opportunity to collect 3 points because Cadiz is weak team for them and the recent performance from Cadiz also not good because in the last 5 matches in Laliga Cadiz only able to get 1 win so i think this could be easy match for Real Madrid and for squad condition because Real Madrid still playing at Champion League against Bayern Munich so i assume Ancelotti will do the rotation for Real Madrid squad but although probably Real Madrid will playing with some of their reserved players i think they still too strong for Cadiz and as the favourite Real Madrid has low odds to bets @1.32

You may be right. Currently, Barcelona management is not in a good financial situation. They don't have enough money. If Barcelona want to hire an experienced coach, Barcelona will have to spend a lot of money. At the same time, the new coach has to provide large funds to buy players according to the coach's choice. And at the moment it will be very difficult for Barcelona.

So Barcelona might ask Xavi to stay with Barcelona for one more season. But I have seen in several major news media that Xavi is no longer interested in staying with Barcelona. Still nothing can be said for sure. Xavi's decision is likely to change.
