Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 1072. (Read 549867 times)

I would like to congratulate Atletico Bilbao who won the Copa Del Rey this season after beating Mallorca in the final in a penalty shootout.
As I expected, Mallorca will look for quick goals in this match, after which they will play more defensively. And it was proven that they could score a goal first in the 21st minute which put them ahead. Atletico Bilbao, who tried to equalize the position, failed in the first half and had to end the first half trailing by 1 goal. In the second half they immediately spread threats, and it didn't take long because they managed to equalize in the 50th minute.
After that they could no longer score goals because Mallorca tried their best to withstand every attack they made. The second half ended with a draw. They continued the match to the penalty shootout, with a 50/50 chance that Atletico Bilbao managed to beat Mallorca with a score of 4-2 and finally they could win the title this season.

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.

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

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

Although Barcelona's opponents this week are easy again, there is still no guarantee that 3 points will be easily obtained in this match, especially with the condition of Barcelona, which is still unpredictable in terms of performance, so it is quite difficult to ensure they get 3 points if Xavi cannot improve their productivity, which has weakened again.

The previous week's match should be proof that facing a weak club is sometimes still very difficult for Barcelona because they were very troubled to face 10 Las Palmas players last week which makes there must be a differentiator for their finishing if they really want the expectation of an easy victory to really happen.
Indeed, in terms of odds, we certainly will not doubt Barcelona in this match, it's just that sometimes it's not enough because Xavi needs more things to make them get 3 points in this match.

That's the hope but it's obviously going to be very difficult for Girona to realize this because at the end of the day there's a point where they can reach a high point of achievement and on the other hand sometimes that can't last if they can't maintain the cohesion and the squad and the coach that they have.
Take Napoli in Serie A after they won the Scudetto last season they have had a poor season or maybe we can look at Atletico in 2020 and Barcelona this season (although Barcelona are starting to compete for 2nd place again now).

 Something like this could happen to Girona because they could do well this season but there is no guarantee for next season especially with some players who are definitely now being eyed by some big clubs then indeed this could disrupt their stability.
Savio definitely belongs to Manchester City and this will leave a big gap in midfield so even if there is a good hope that Girona return to the same form as this season next season but honestly I don't want to have too high expectations in this regard.

La Liga This season does look very different from the previous season, girona which we have seen as the bottom team actually surprised us all because they were able to compete for the championship trophy this season with Madrid and Barcelona, but unfortunately when hopes appeared for girona can to break the dominance of the two strong teams, Exactly consistency disrupted girona before the season ended and made them now only focus on fighting to qualify for the league Champions next season, I think what Girona did this season certainly surprised a lot of people because with the limitations they have it make them able to be ranked at the big four current La Liga standings.

I think what's happening in La Liga today is no different to any other league when a small team surprises in one season, I think we've seen that happen this season in England when Aston Villa emerged as an unexpected force, as well as Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and Bologna in Serie A.  Where the team team was originally never favored to compete in the top 4 rankings so far, but in fact now they are actually able to make big teams lose their prestige, but unfortunately among the team teams I mentioned, only Leverkusen is able to perform consistently at this time in the Bundesliga, honestly I hope that another team will emerge that can damage the dominance of Barcelona and Madrid in La Liga next season.

It is nothing new that La Liga is dominated by at least 3 teams, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Other teams can only compete for 4th place, although this season is a little different because Atletico Madrid had to fight tooth and nail to finish in 4th place. Barcelona, which is considered to have declined a lot this season, is actually still in position. both standings now, and that means they are not as bad as some people think.

However, we must also be surprised to see that Girona can survive this far, yes, they have managed to compete and are ranked 3rd in the standings. Even though it is only ranked 3rd, it is a big achievement for a team like Girona which is usually only in the middle of the standings.

I hope this will continue in the next season, I mean there will be a team that can compete like Girona this season. It gives a different atmosphere to the competition and it makes us more excited to see a competition like this in La Liga.

there will never be any doubt about Barcelona achievements at the end of the season which will be clear, even though the point difference is very small, Barcelona can always match Girona performance and when they win, Barcelona will definitely get 3 additional points.
so anyone deserves not to worry about Barcelona current position and at this time before Xavi leaves Barcelona, he wants Barcelona to at least get the runner up position.
In the upcoming match, Girona will have to face a slightly difficult team like ATM, which currently could be Girona strongest challenger and if ATM is able to beat Girona, the competition will definitely be very close and Girona must be ready to be overthrown ATM.

on the one hand, Barcelona has an easier opponent and will not be under any pressure when facing Cadiz.

The results of this meeting will actually not do really much to Real Madrid but will do a whole lot to Barcelona and that's not even arguable because Real Madrid is already at the top of the table with plenty of points and will be able to stay there even if they don't get to win the match because the point difference is such that a single game cannot stop them from getting to still maintain their position on the top of the table at this time.

Real Madrid is most definitely going to still do their very best to make sure they win this game because they still want to stay at the top with even more points ahead which is going to be an advantage for them a d keep them very relaxed and confident to play their champions league game that they have got ahead of them to play within the week but then Barcelona too also has got a champions league fixture to tackle ahead but this isn't going to mean that they are not going to be able to do their best with the la Liga even knowing that they are most likely to not win the trophy regardless of the results but then a loss will really have a whole lot to do on their mind set in their champions league game.

I have wished that Real Madrid still gets to win the game and still stay at the top of the table with much difference and Barcelona be able to maintain a good morale regardless of the outcome for their next champions league meeting they will be having ahead, i definitely don't think that Barcelona will be in the best form to be able to handle the champions league if they happen to loose against Madrid but a draw would do them a whole lot and that will actually be a fair one for them.

Although Barcelona still has to make great efforts to maintain its position in second place, but I think Barcelona is enough in that position even though it only has a 2-point gap with Girona. Because yes, lately also that Girona is experiencing instability and because of that, Girona also sometimes gets bad results because they lose certain matches. So yes, considering that La Liga is only dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona, then Barcelona should also be able to ensure they finish in second place and thwart Girona who are still trying to finish in a better position in second place.

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.

So far Real Sociedad has fought very well and they have managed to win 3 times in a row. We may still remember how this performance was not very convincing because there were too many draws some time ago but this problem seems to have been resolved very well for now. The next challenge of course should be an easy task where they will face the team at the bottom of the standings, namely Almeria and this will definitely be another winning streak that they can get.

Real Sociedad must be aware that this season will end soon and if they can finish in the same position as last season then they can be in Europe's highest competition again but if it is difficult with a very large gap like now then it is quite rational if they will go down to the competition Europe is slightly lower. What is clear is that they cannot afford to lose any more points because Valencia or Betis will immediately catch up with them if they are inconsistent again. For the match against Almeria, we will still have to wait until next week considering that this week there are no matches at all in La Liga.

The solution is that Barcelona doesn't need to chase Madrid points, because that would be quite difficult, it would be better for Barcelona to focus on how to prevent Girona from overtaking them in the runner-up position. That way, Barcelona has time to finish its competition in the UCL. Because there are no other opportunities apart from the UCL, the same fate experienced by Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga now requires them to focus on the UCL. In my opinion, Barcelona and Girona, who have played 30 matches can still continue to be contested, the difference is very small namely 2 points and it is still considered not a safe position for Barcelona.

We all know that Real Madrid and Barcelona are mortal enemies whose matches are always eagerly awaited because when these two teams meet on the same field it is a big match. In my neighborhood there are so many people gathered to watch the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, because these two teams are big teams that are equally strong. When choosing between these two teams I chose Barcelona, for some reason without reason I preferred Barcelona. Of course, when these two teams meet it will definitely be a big and hot match, these two teams will definitely show their best game to make their team survive and also make their fans proud.

whoever wins the match will be the winner, I don't really mind that, I just join in with the enthusiasm of the fans which makes me feel the excitement of the match between these two big teams. With the previous matches, Real Madrid had a pretty good journey, but of course I think Barcelona will definitely show their maximum game. You'll see whether you win or not.

Well this is something that we know and the truth is that I am happy that Madrid is doing a great job in the League, of course this Tuesday what they are waiting for is the UCL commitment where basically they almost have a final, it is a shame that At this point these two great teams like City and Madrid should face each other, now it is as you say, in my opinion Madrid will be the League champion, but this is not something nor does it have to do with trust because I have seen many cases, Furthermore, you always have to be a little careful with Barcelona, because Barcelona is a team that when it gets dangerously close to Madrid can make them Achieve many things, so it is preferable for Ancelotti to continue securing his position, the only way is to win.

Pep Guardiola's managerial record vs. Real Madrid




Well, if you are right about that, I personally have always said something, Barcelona and Madrid will always have a very strong rivalry, that is something obvious, perhaps it hurts a lot for a Barcelona fan to see a Madrid that is in a moment very good, and Barcelona is not, but you have to accept things, Madrid has also lost against Barcelona and has not given them much importance, for that reason it will always be seen as something bad, but football is like that, Football always gives revenge, I understand the pressure they have, Girona is breathing down their necks and that is something that a team like Barcelona should not be allowed, in fact I think it is a nightmare.

Barcelona have started to improve their results in the La Liga recently so I'm also not feeling like Girona would finish as the runner-up. But the gap is only two points between so it can be a really competitive challenge. 

However especially if Girona lose against Atletico Madrid next week the gap is quite likely to get quite bigger than this. Girona beat Atletico Madrid before maybe but it was a home game. Atletico Madrid are very strong in home games this season. They are the second best team about that.    They lost only once and won 13 out of 15 home games. I think Simeone will be prepared for Girona and beat them. It is really important for the top four fight as well.

Barcelona has had a difficult time. Dropping behind Real Madrid hurts. Girona's pressure for second must be frustrating. But these guys aint quitters. Consider that they've been resolving issues. They're not satisfied. Hunger can take them far this season. Anything can happen in the long game. One Madrid mistake or Barca's streak of wins can change the game. Remember the Champions League. Nobody disputes City and Madrid's dominance. Upsets are part of the charm of the Champions League. Barca has achieved the impossible. Their history supports it. That team may surprise everyone.

The La Liga trophy will almost certainly belong to Real Madrid, the UCL is the only trophy that Barcelona can still win, but the chances are very small because the competitors are strong teams. It is still possible for Girona to take over the runner up position from Barcelona, but with Barcelona starting to find their best performance, Girona has to fight hard to return to second place. It is possible that a change of position will still occur depending on the condition of Barcelona or Girona, Barcelona will still have a tough match away to Real Madrid headquarters, Girona and Barcelona will also face each other on May 5.

Girona is trying to provide something different in the La Liga competition, but as you said they are not so strong and ready that they cannot compete more strongly at the top of the standings. Even though for some time they could be at the top of the standings, but that didn't last long because in the end Real Madrid was able to take over that position and now they have quite a distance.
The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will always be an interesting match, because we know what the rivalry is like between them. Even though this season Barcelona is experiencing several problems, in my opinion it will not make the match uninteresting, it will still be a very interesting match.

Of course Barcelona will not let Girona shift their position in the standings again, they want to finish in the best place even if they don't become champions.
What concerns me is whether management will not try to persuade Xavi to stay with them next season. After all, what he has shown this season is also not bad, it is proven that he is still in second place and also in the Champions League they are still competing in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Are they not considering this, because I think there is a process that Xavi has shown and that process is a good process.

The season is very clear to know who will win this la Liga league title among the three teams that has come up with excellent performance so far in this season, but the gap Real Madrid is using to top the two teams Barcelona and Girona show that Real Madrid will take first position, Barcelona will take second and Girona will take third position in the la Liga league. Barcelona will never give Girona chance to take the second position back from them, because their manager has solved some challenges that is making Barcelona not to be constants in winning. Even in the champion league competition, many people are still looking up to Manchester city and Real Madrid, but I don't think Real Madrid will win the champions league title this season because Manchester city are in good form to stop Real Madrid and other teams not to embrace the title.
