La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hahay]

When it comes to Girona they couldn't beat Alaves yesterday. They got one point. This is a nice opportunity for Barcelona to take the second spot from that. All they have to do is to beat Real Sociedad on this game week.    Finishing as the second wouldn't change so many things for them maybe but still you know.

Girona missed so many opportunities in attack yesterday that they could have scored a few more goals, but I got the impression that everyone wanted to score a goal and were greedy with the last pass. Considering that Dovbyk was fighting for the title of top scorer, there was no need to be greedy with a pass for him. And in the end they couldn’t even hold on to the victory, although Alaves’ defense looked very leaky.

Yes, now Barcelona has a chance to regain second place, I know that this is very important for them, just recently there was an incident about this, so Xavi must do everything to win today.

In fact, Alaves second goal also came in injury time and ofcourse, the goal that happen at the end of the match like this was a surprise goal too. Because afterall, Girona had also won in the first half with a score of 1-2 but indeed,Girona failed attempts in the second half made Girona fail to make another goal in the second half. But apart from that,I also bet on Girona to win this match but unfortunately, Girona failed to get the win and thus, I also lost my bet . To be honest, such a result is very disappointing because anyway, at thismoment I think it is clear that Girona has better quality than Alves, but Girona still failed to win this away match.

Barcelona must quickly recover from their downturn, therefore Girona must be able to take advantage of the situation in the remaining final matches at the end of this season, because if they cannot play well of course Barcelona will be able to replace Girona in second place as runners up, I think that is also not desirable by Girona and they seem to have played optimally but Alaves played very well and were luckier, even so Girona did not lose points and only got one point from this match but it will make the point difference with Barcelona even closer.

Barcelona might be able to replace Girona in second place as runners up, but because the competition between the two is actually not that different because they both get UCL tickets next season, I don't know what the benefits of being runners up are, but in my opinion as long as they still finish in the top four everyone is quite good at being in that position, but if being runner up is something that is profitable, there is no problem, it is worth fighting for the runner up position, but I am sure that Barcelona will replace Girona in the near future if the results of the match are bad.

The opportunity to be able to end the runner up position this season is of course still open for Barcelona because they still have 4 games left this season, today Girona has played their 35th game but unfortunately they got a negative result in the match, Girona today got a draw against Alaves and made Girona position easier to be shifted by Barcelona if they managed to win over Real Sociedad later,  After girona getting a draw from Alaves, of course, now Barcelona and Girona only have a difference of 2 points, so Barcelona only needs 1 win to be able to return to 2nd place in La Liga later, Barcelona in a few days will face Real Sociedad so I think it will be easy for Barcelona to get 3 points in the game later.

The runner up position may not look too important for a team that is only eyeing a Champions League ticket, but actually by getting the runner up position of course they get financial benefits, because as far as I know if  two teams that made it to the Copa Cup final and also the top two La Liga teams will be able to play in the Spanish Super Cup competition later,  So I think Barcelona and Girona will still compete to be runners up until the end of the season.

When I look at Girona, they always remind me of Leicester City in the Premier League Competition. It's just so hurting to see they didn't get to win nothing after a successful season.

Yeah Leicester even ended up with relegating to the Championship however they are going to be back in the Premier League next season.    I feel like Girona will also not be able to maintain this look in the La Liga next time. I would really like them to prove me wrong. Because it is more fun to see smaller teams adding some excitement to a season.

All they have to do is to beat Real Sociedad on this game week.    Finishing as the second wouldn't change so many things for them maybe but still you know.

It seems to me that Girona is not the case, given the fact that behind them are the same finances that are behind City. And I would not compare Girona with Leicester because, after all, Leicester became a champion and wrote its name in history, and Girona only repeats the ups that happen almost every season with some underdog.

Last week Girona came from behind to beat Barcelona. Yesterday they struggled to get the win against their rivals. After leading 2-1 at half-time, Girona had to settle for a draw after conceding a goal in the final minutes of extra time. Girona dominated the match compared to their opponents and this loss of points will of course benefit Barcelona. Now they have the chance to beat Girona. The potential to finish second in the league has now passed to Barcelona.

Last week against one of the strongest teams in the Spanish La Liga, Girona were able to come from behind to beat Barcelona with a resounding 4:2 victory the last season winners ic the Spanish La Liga title but just yesterday night, they could protect their 2:1 lead against an average team like Alaves. That goes a long way to explain how inconsistent Girona have been since the start of the second half of the season after their very impressive run in the first half of the season.
The good thing about Girona's season is that definitely going to finish the season in the top four of the league regardless of whatever result they get in their last league games of the season. It was after the defeated Barcelona last week that it was confirmed that they'll play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season. The club really need to improve and start performing like the Girona team we saw at the start of the current season of they truly want to excel in the UEFA Champions League competition next season

[Out of mind]

Villarreal vs Sevilla is an interesting game between the two teams and both teams have plenty of attacking efforts. The first half of the game was a much more heated battle between the two teams and the result was a 1-2 goal difference between the two teams, although Sevilla still led by one goal. And the two teams are side by side in the points table, if Sevilla can win today's match, they will certainly be able to occupy the eighth position in the points table. Moreover, a win for Villarreal will change their position in the points table, if the two teams meet again after half-time and are attacking brilliantly. Especially in today's match, Villarreal is trying hard at their home ground, if they can make a strong attack to level the game, then the match will definitely be a draw. And if Sevilla can attack more strongly and score goals in today's match, there is definitely a possibility of securing victory with the opposition team.

[Velvet78]

Quique Sánchez Flores is trying to help Sevilla revive and climb to upper positions after a long time. I can say he has been doing well on the recent a few weeks. Currently they are 2-1 ahead against Villarreal away too. 

The thing I hope to see from Sevilla board is to keep their current manager for the next season as well. Replacing managers with new ones with such short intervals isn't a healthy thing to do for your team. You need to believe in the manager you brought for a long time period. Some managers start meeting the expectations early but some do this when they are given more time. Being patient is key for them to bring back their old days.

I don't know why Real Madrid was given a very big odd of 1.66 in their match against Getafe today. Even though they are away, I was expecting them to be given small odds because it is expected that they will easily win the match. I wanted to play Madrid direct win but I am a little skeptical now because of the odd. Well, this is not the first time they are giving them big odd away yet they still won. Maybe they just feel that away gives them less advantage and for the fact that they had already crossed the stage of dragging the league title with anyone. I feel Real Madrid will still win the match for the records.

Bad thing about this result is that if they do not quickly shake themselves up from it, it can affect them in their remaining games, and they may end up finishing top 4 but not top 2. To the people who have been following up with the performance of Girona from the beginning of the season will know that if Girona finish at any position less than second then they have not really performed to their best consistently because with the way they started this season and with the number of teams they have defeated if they miss the first position they do not need to miss the second. Three games left.

It seems that you are wrong in seeing the opponent that Real Madrid will face today, because the one that Real Madrid will face today is Granada, not Getafe. Because Getafe will visit Cadiz, the odds given are actually quite reasonable, even though for you it is a bit big and if you are skeptical about these odds, you can bet on another match. Or holding Real Madrid as the team that will win today's match even though Real Madrid is playing away today, because Granada is a fairly weak team this season.

Villarreal vs Sevilla in the match between two teams Villarreal team scored 2 goals and Sevilla team scored 1 goal. Enjoyed the beautiful match between the two teams in today's match but I lost the bet by betting on Sevilla team. I thought that Sevilla team may have messed up in the previous match because of this match.  Can do well but could not win today's match for Sevilla team players.

I thought that Sevilla team may have messed up in the previous match because of this match.  Can do well but could not win today's match for Sevilla team players.

Villarreal played a better game than sevilla if not for multiple safes from the goalkeeper they would have done scored more goals. Because even the first goal Sevilla scored is actually a penalty. And four minutes of the game they equalized and before half time Sevilla score there second goal by y.en nesyri  the same dude that played the penalty. It was an heat on Sevilla because the whole game changed during the second half and if not for var the game would have ended 4:2, I know that a lot of people will go for straight win for Sevilla, and it was the other way round thats betting for you. Me personally I didn't expect Sevilla to lose. Since they did. Because first half they did well.

[FanEagle]

Girona basically gave Barcelona exactly what they want, now it is up to Barcelona to make it happen, it is not going to be easy and it will take some time but we need to realize that they are going to have a chance to win it all, we can't really make it change any other way.

Barcelona failing to win and take that second position would be basically a terrible thing that they will regret for a long time, they need every single money they can earn and second place would be the thing they need, well they would need first place but we know that wasn't the case so they need second place to make more money. I believe that we are going to see something changing eventually but so far this season they just need to finish it at a good place so they can look for next year.

This is a worthy win for Villareal, because overall they are also better than Sevilla and in fact before this match started they were also favorites to win the match. However, Sevilla's game was not bad either, they played well and they even took the lead in the first half, but in the second half Villarreal were able to get their goal back.
I think the match will probably end in a draw after in the second half which has shown 90 minutes and the score is still tied at 1-1. However, at the end of the match Villareal were able to score their 3rd goal and they were able to seal the match with a 3-2 win.
These two teams showed an interesting match, and it was quite entertaining. The result was indeed disappointing for Sevilla, but they had to accept it gracefully because they had to concede another goal when time had entered the final hour and they were close to a draw.

The first half of the match is almost over, and so far Madrid has a 2-0 lead over Granada, Madrid, which has succeeded in securing the La Liga trophy this season, of course no longer has much motivation in today match because whatever the result of the match will no longer affect the Madrid position, today Ancelotti even fielded some of his reserve players to face Granada and that shows that Ancelotti is not too obsessed with winning even though currently they are ahead of Granada,actually Madrid will celebrate their championship at Granada home ground today regardless of if Madrid wins or losing to Granada, but considering that Granada is certain to be relegated at the end of this season, Madrid has postponed their celebrations in order to respect and protect the feelings of Granada fans.

Granada is not a strong enough opponent for Madrid, especially throughout the season Granada was only able to win 4 times out of 34 matches, so it is certain that they will be relegated next season because it is impossible for Granada to be able to catch up to the safe position of the current standings with 3 more matches,  I think if today Madrid is chasing victory, of course Granada might have conceded a lot of goals by now.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad match where both of the teams are going to push for a win very much. Because both of them really need to win this match. If Barcelona fails to win this match, they will not be able to go to the second position of the La Liga table. At the same time, if Real Sociedad is unable to win this match, there is a chance that they will lose the sixth position to Real Betis. So it is very important for both of them to win this match. Draw is not going to be enough for either of them. And we all know that there cannot be two winners in the same match. I personally think that Barcelona should be able to win this match. But The way Barcelona has been performing recently, it is hard to actually trust them at all right now. They have been making a lot of mistakes recently. Especially in the defense. So it is hard to say what will happen in this match.

[Litzki1990]

I don't know. If think if you lose a whole generation that has dominated world football within 5-6 years, it's hard to see how a club would instantly fully recover from that. Real Madrid has done a better job, it is as simple as that. They have risked more with their transfers and got players like Bellingham and Vinicius Junior on board. Barcelona has some great talents, but when you compare both teams to me it seems that Real Madrid is more grown up despite having so many young players. Barcelona gets Lewandowski and Real Madrid gets a number 5 called Bellingham and the guy scores more goals in a season than Lewandowski does. Overall Lewandowksi has a few more scorer points, but still in my opinion Real Madrid is making the superior decisions.

Now the next transfer is being discussed, Mbappe. This type of player would never choose to go to Barcelona at the moment. But he would have 10 years ago when Barcelona was world class.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have dominated Spanish football for at more than the last two decade and that's because of how they've managed to assemble the best legs in the Spanish league over the years but recently, Barcelona have not been able to match the number of quality players at Real Madrid because they've been having some financial crises that's majorly limited their spendings in the transfer market and they've also struggled to raise big players from the club's academy which we know is their major source of getting quality players over the years.
Assessing the current difference between the two teams, it's absolutely obvious that the Spanish La Liga champions are clearly better than Barcelona and for Barcelona to be able to assemble a group of players that'll be strong enough to challenge Real Madrid in the nearest future, I think it'll take the club many more than three more transfer windows. Real Madrid is undisputedly the best Spanish team at the moment and I don't think there's anyone that's gonna stop in the next two seasons from being the best

But there is one huge difference now. I don't think that this is the best Real Madrid team there ever was, but they have less competition in La Liga. They are of course a top star team, no question about that, but remember how the times were when Real Madrid and Barcelona pushed each other towards the 100 points in La Liga, scored an unbelievable number of goals and you had the race between Ronaldo and Messi. Then there was Atletico Madrid, which was a top team for a while. There was so much pushing each other in La Liga, but Barcelona couldn't replace Iniesta, Xavi, Suarez, Neymar, Messi, Puyol and many others. You could see how the team got weaker over time. Real Madrid found some better substitutes.

We have to forget the past because we always miss the matches we used to watch in La Liga between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Before, when Real Madrid and Barcelona were competing, I would drop whatever work I had and sit in front of the TV when the game started. I know why the competition used to be at that time, 90 minutes seemed to go by very quickly, but now when I watch Barcelona and Real Madrid games, sometimes those games are boring. Real Madrid have maintained their consistency but Barcelona now do not have a strong team like Real Madrid that they will compete hard with Real Madrid. 
Although Real Madrid lost the title to Barcelona last season but this season Real Madrid has come back again. Real Madrid is currently the best team in La Liga and there is no doubt that Real Madrid is one of the best teams in Europe.

Mallorca vs Las Palmas

Mallorca : Predrag Rajkovic, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Jose Copete, Giovanni Gonzalez, Jaume Costa, Antonio Sanchez, Samu, Daniel Rodriguez, Cyle Larin, Vedat Muriqi.

Las Palmas : Alvaro Valles, Julian Araujo, Alex Suarez, Saul Coco, Mika Marmol, Marvin Park, Javier Munoz, Enzo Loiodice, Kirian Rodriguez, Benito, Sory Kaba.

After the match Mallorca has three matches remaining and they are in position 17th in the table having a six points away from the relegation zone, which am not convinced with the current points gap because it's too small to be maintain due to the current form of the team, both Mallorca and Las Palmas both draw their last two matches against each other, but this time around Mallorca should be able to win Las Palmas because Las Palmas are really facing serious decline in their performance to the extent that they could not even draw a match in their last five matches, they were defeated in the all matches while Mallorca only faces three defeats and draw two, and this is my reason why I said Mallorca should do better than Las Palmas especially when they are the host.

Mallorca was able to win this match and I think now they are absolutely clear of any problem of being relegated. the way these teams just above the relegation zone are performing, I think the relegation zone is almost set for this season. I do not think that there is any chance for the teams that are in the relegation zone to actually get out right now.

I also will say that both of these teams, Mallorca and Las Palmas are also not going to have any problem with the relegation zone. Now I believe all the teams that are towards the bottom of the table are going to prepare for the next season. Because this season is pretty much done for them. But to be honest I had better expectations from all the teams that are in the relegation zone. I thought that they would be able to at least have a good competition to get out of the relegation zone. I think that is the least we could expect from them. I don’t think it has already been mathematically proven that they cannot get out of the relegation zone. but I am pretty sure it doesn’t matter with the difference in points that have already been created

Girona have missed out on several attempts to beat Deportivo Alaves and had a 2-2 draw tie with them. I would consider it a preferable result other than a defeat, Girona looks unserious with La Liga matches because they're no longer in competitive race for La Liga title and have also secure a top spot in the UEFA Champions League next season. However their draw tie means another opportunity for Barcelona to turn things around and end second position on the table.

It's really unfortunate what happened to Girona last night, the draw against Alaves put them on the verge of becoming runners-up if Barcelona were able to win this week's match, with the fierce game played by these two teams Giroma almost won but Girona was overwhelmed and conceded in the minutes Finally, in the final minutes of the match Alaves managed to equalize the lead to 2-2.

However, this draw will not have fatal consequences for Girona because they have already won tickets to the Champions League next season and being runners-up this season may have failed, but what they have done this season is a big improvement.

This was really interesting because I thought Girona was definitely going to get three points from this match. And they also had a lot of chances to actually get all three points from this match. But in the end, they were unable to defend well towards the end of the match. And they got only one point from this match. Now this will give Barcelona a very good chance to actually get on the second position again if they are able to win the next match. But I don’t think it is going to matter too much. Because Barcelona is not winning anything in this season. But Xavi definitely wants to finish in the second position. Let’s see what happens. But I think Girona made a big mistake by giving Barcelona that chance. And at the same time, I have to say Girona has been a little inconsistent. I guess we did not expect too much consistency from them as well. But they have set the bar for themselves very high. Girona will definitely regret not getting three points from this match if Barcelona gets ahead of them.

[GiftedMAN]

Last week against one of the strongest teams in the Spanish La Liga, Girona were able to come from behind to beat Barcelona with a resounding 4:2 victory the last season winners ic the Spanish La Liga title but just yesterday night, they could protect their 2:1 lead against an average team like Alaves. That goes a long way to explain how inconsistent Girona have been since the start of the second half of the season after their very impressive run in the first half of the season.

Bad thing about this result is that if they do not quickly shake themselves up from it, it can affect them in their remaining games, and they may end up finishing top 4 but not top 2. To the people who have been following up with the performance of Girona from the beginning of the season will know that if Girona finish at any position less than second then they have not really performed to their best consistently because with the way they started this season and with the number of teams they have defeated if they miss the first position they do not need to miss the second. Three games left.

I think the result that Girona recorded last night will definitely have nothing to do with their performance in the remaining matches because they were able to secure a draw not a loss so they will have the strength to fight until the end of the season, even though they end up not finishing as the runners up, they are sure of finishing in the 3rd place in the league. The bad thing that Girona will experience as a result of their draw yesterday in the opportunity they have given to Barcelona to return to the second position in the league once they are able to defeat Real Sociedad and win the rest of their games, Girona will automatically retain the 3rd place in the league. One thing about teams like Girona is that they have not experienced the level of pressure they witnessed this season being in the top position I think they shouldn't be blamed for not finishing in the first or second place in the league so if they finish this season in the third place, I believe they will do better next season.
