Barcelona still are a big team, it is possible that they can continue to be consistent. And I think it actually makes sense that, if the bookie gives odds that are closer to Real Madrid because Barcelona is not over yet.
But I agree, Real Madrid odds are very low. And indeed, I personally don't think it's worth it if I bet on them, but betting on Girona is also risky for me. Although, yes indeed it would actually be fun. Moreover, if in the end Girona can win.

Spanish football this year is different, I've been watching quite interesting and boring matches all through. Barcelona will settle for lesser position this season, they're inconsistent in their performance and winning becomes very difficult for them to maintain this season. Girona and Real Madrid are the main contenders for the La Liga title this season and none of these elite clubs are ready to record losses in matches except they want to give up the title run and on a second thought, who want to give up on the title chase? Nobody I think.

Six points between the league leaders and Barcelona, Atletico Madrid included. One point between Girona and Real Madrid. Infact the league is still open for all four of them. It's just that having Girona at the top of the league has been a shocker to most footbal fans for they never expected such happening. A low life in La Liga, taking the lead and I'm not gon be perplexed when I see them at the top until the first half of the season comes to an end. The league being boring and interesting is all part of the journey.

Real Madrid despite the absence of these players we think are undropabble have done excellently great. Carlo Ancellotti has managed the boys to victories. They will need all the best when they begin the second half of the season. Vinicius Junior would be back next year as said by Carlo Ancellotti. They'll need him back better as they'll be ready for the round of sixteen games.

Really, Girona's journey this season is like a storybook. The fact that they were only trying to avoid relegation makes their rise to the top of La Liga even more impressive. Their plan and hard work paid off. Their ability to score goals really stands out to me. None of their star players do all the work; everyone, from the wingers to the midfielders, participates. Their varied way of striking makes them a tough opponent for any team. Their enormous confidence must have grown a lot after their recent win over Barcelona. They have my support to keep their lead. Being dedicated and working as a team shows that even the "smaller" teams can dream big.

However, Girona's process of currently being at the top of the La Liga standings is not easy. Michel Sanchez's important role as a coach was extraordinary in building the team.
Last season they also had to work hard enough to finish in the middle of the standings. but now the coach's strategy is working very well. every player understood the intent of the coach's tactics and it succeeded in placing Girona at the top, competing with Madrid and Barcelona.

Yeah it's actually surprising to see a mid table team doing so well to lead the table this season. If things goes like this then might be able to lead the table till the end and lift the trophy. Yes it's still very hard as they are just halfway through and have to maintain same level of consistency till the end. They are just leading the table with few points and don't have that much cushion in case they drop points. Madrid are the closest one and they are very good with consistency so if they make any mistake then they will pave the way for Madrid to overtake them on the table.

Well I don't know why there is a big gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona but also Girona. I can understand that Girona is a new club among the classic top teams so there is doubts about their consistency the whole season and I assume people are assuming they will drop at any point even though they were able to defeat Barcelona.
For Atletico Madrid, okay they are winning and sometimes missing, they will be among top 4 most likely but not the first thing season in my opinion.
For Barcelona, they are having bad moments but they should return winning again and fight for the first spot along with Real Madrid and Girona. 5 points gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona are nothing with 22 games left to play.
I will go for Real Madrid 2.5, Barcelona 3, Girona 3.5 and Atletico Madrid 4.5. I just put Girona as third choice but I would like to see them winning La Liga title this season!

No way that Barcelona is so close to Real Madrid. Those times are over and Barcelona has turned into a pretty sloppy team recently. Odds of 4.9 might sound a bit high as there is also the gap between them and Real Madrid, but I wouldn't bet on Barcelona becoming the La Liga champions this season. 1.50 on the other hand is pretty low for Real Madrid and not really worth it. Girona is the surprise team here obviously and therefore comes with the most uncertainty. But for Girona fans a bet on them winning La Liga could be fun.

Despite the loses and challenges faced by Barcelona, the club has a good record in the last five games when they faced Valencia in the domestic league games in La Liga Competition. Xavi Hernandez has been pressured to be sacked but the club management and club president are right behind the Barcelona legend and manager. Valencia at home habe not seen more than three goals scored from both side in them home games. They have also recorded just a lose with three wins and a draw in the last five games. Poor Barcelona with away games in the last five. They should sit up otherwise this season, they'll be dumped outside the first four clubs in La Liga.

It's a positive note that Barcelona have a good record against Valencia in La Liga. But Barcelona is still underpressure to win the game due to bad results they had in the last game. But I don't think this situation makes Xavi Hernandez having pressure on his managerial job. The support from the club management and president for Xavi Hernandez adds stability and confidence in the coaching staff.

Valencia right now is having a bad phase with gaining 4 points and 3 goals in the last five league games. They need to find solution to end this bad phase to avoid a degrading spirit. Barcelona is considerad in a struggling situation, because they stuck in 4th position and experienced a big loss to Girona which is still haunting them. This season demands a concerted effort from Barcelona to enhance their winning streak for them to close the points gap form the top. The competition in La Liga is intense, and Barcelona must rise to the occasion to meet the expectations of their fans and stakeholders.

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it. However, I still have faith in them. Barcelona will likely turn things around in their upcoming La Liga away games, starting with Valencia. After a series of defeats, Barcelona is showing impatience and losing confidence. The upcoming match against Valencia on Saturday is crucial for them to secure full points and stay competitive. It won't be easy, and Valencia could give them a tough challenge.

I don't know what to say about Barcelona's performance currently because it's very much obvious that it's not welcoming. Not judging based on the defeat from Royal Antwerp last night, because now they'd tag it as a giveaway to the opposing side since they've successfully scaled through to the next round and maybe it actually was a giveaway because I wouldn't want to believe that they put their mind in that game and we're comfortably defeated by such a low team as that. Where's Barcelona's crown?

They were a better team, they lost to Girona, which was shocking especially that defeat happening at their home ground, what explanation would they give for that? Girona is a team struggling for the top spot, but a defeat for Barcelona from them isn't just the best way to go about it. They ought to be better than this, they've got no excuse whatsoever to be performing the way they're doing now. Hopefully they'll be better after their game against Valencia but it'll be diminishing if they still loose that encounter.

It's really strong to see that how people are still doubting girona. It seems girona needs to give more proof till the end of season to make them all trust girona can win the trophy too. Girona is a new leicester but i would rather than call girona as a new manchester city.
Girona remains me with the new manchester city after it has owned by mansour. Girona is hving very similar performance like manchester city. It seesm girona will become a big club in the upcoming years in la liga.
Girona has been fully supported by city's owner caused by it was a part of city football group too. No doubt that if girona will be winning the title for this seaosn. The only competitor owned by the club is real madrid.

Well, that's mainly because they have never won anything, which means that they will be doubted until they do, why would people think that they could win the league when we have never seen them ever do it, this is a league where only three teams wins, and when you look at that then you start to realize that have we never see many team start the season good in the past 20 years?

I am sure that some must have started and yet they didn't finish that well and Girona could be one of those teams. I get that we are going to end up with some trouble here and there, and we should be considering the situation similar to that when we have the chance, and I believe that we need to see Girona win something before they could be considered contenders. This is why nobody gives them a chance right now, sure they are doing fine at the moment and leading and all that, bhut they are not too far away and they could just end up not being all that great by the end of the season.

There wouldn't be too much additional players into the squad of Real Madrid. They're already good enough so far so good. The recent happenings ND injuries should have affected the club and the rest of the players but the keep on playing like they don't have most important and injured players out. Still not certain who will end up winning the Spanish League.

The transfer window fast here Barcelona should make sure the potholes in the club are well fixed. So far, they're far behind and they keep on killing my predictions for them winning the league once again this season.

Yes so far they got along quite well with the injuries they had and that is quite remarkable as two of those injuries were really bad for them. Losing Thibaut Courtois and Vinicius Junior for quite some time was tough, but they fixed those issues successfully. However, they have not had the hardest test yet against very strong teams in the Champions League. Those are the games where the difference might be felt although Arrizabalaga is doing a great job and Rodrygo is playing well, too. But missing Vinicius Junior against strong teams is a loss no matter what. He can't be replaced perfectly.

Barcelona will win their next game against Valencia, I don't think they can afford to lose two straight match in the league. After dropping points against Girona and they were already in the champions league round of 16, irrespective of the score of yesterday game. Xavi is an experienced manager and he wasn't really expecting much from them yesterday. I believe his eyes was already at the Valencia game so I think Barcelona will get back to winning ways this weekend. I can bet of this game that Barcelona will win.

Even though Barcelona can win the away match with Valencia, I think Barcelona will also remain in its current position if Atletico Madrid can win this week's match when they visit Athletic Club. Because up to now there are three teams that are a real obstacle for Barcelona to reach the top of the standings, so Xavi really has to give his best shot to all the players at Barcelona at the moment. If this is not the case, Barcelona will be further behind than the other three teams in the top three of the standings and will be more easily chased by other rivals from the lower ranks.

Winning results remains the main target, no matter whether the win obtained makes its position in the standings increase or settle. Because anyway, the 3 points obtained will certainly have a good impact on its position in the standings, at least it will still have hope to go up. Anyway, if compared to the results of losing, then there is no longer a good hope to be able to improve its position in the standings.

Therefore, of course Barcelona will still target three points against Valencia in the next match in La Liga. After all, the league also is still long, so of course there will also be a long process to get back on the title race track . So yes, for now it looks like Barcelona will still have a chance to win despite playing away, because Valencia also does not fully have a good performance at this moment.

Despite the loses and challenges faced by Barcelona, the club has a good record in the last five games when they faced Valencia in the domestic league games in La Liga Competition. Xavi Hernandez has been pressured to be sacked but the club management and club president are right behind the Barcelona legend and manager. Valencia at home habe not seen more than three goals scored from both side in them home games. They have also recorded just a lose with three wins and a draw in the last five games. Poor Barcelona with away games in the last five. They should sit up otherwise this season, they'll be dumped outside the first four clubs in La Liga.

Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni would be back to join the squad training and at the same time, I think Turkish midfielder Arda Guler would be ready to get his chance on the field.

So far, there are no prerequisites for Barcelona to make a comeback. I would say that on the contrary they are lucky that Real Madrid have such extensive problems with players leaving due to injury and they are still not that far away from it. I understand that bookmakers are not the ultimate truth and they often make mistakes (in separate assessments), but they answer for their opinion with money and look what they think:

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 4.90

Girona 5.88

Atlético Madrid 9.80

There is a clear leader, Real Madrid, and then there are everyone else. Moreover, Barcelona is already practically equal to Girona. According to rumors, the Barcelona management is considering the option of dismissing Xavi, but this is unlikely to change anything since no major transfers are planned in the winter and the new coach will, in any case, have to work with what he has until the end of the season. The only reason why we can get +50% by betting on Real (and not 10% or 15%) is because Real itself may have problems (for example, if the injury epidemic continues) and will not maintain the pace necessary to take the title. I don’t know how to assess the likelihood of such a negative scenario, but I consider betting on Real Madrid profitable.

Of course, it wasn't an easy journey for Girona, but they proved their quality perfectly. This team has good self-confidence and has good motivation to challenge anyone, the best thing about them is that the team never feels pressured even when playing against Barcelona or Real Madrid.

So far Girona has only suffered one defeat in the last 16 matches and Real Madrid is the only team to have beaten them. There are certainly plenty of doubts about Girona's ability to maintain their form, but that's no reason why we should underestimate them. Their defense is still not good, but this team has a very productive striker. Girona is the most productive team in La Liga, which means they are ahead of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

It's normal if you are disappointed but Girona deserved this result the quality of play in each line was very different and made Barcelona unable to handle it well. Barcelona made 31 shots but wasted them and 11 shots on target did not give them the lead in scoring goals. This means that Girona may be statistically below Barcelona but on the contrary in terms of attack effectiveness Girona is able to control it well.

Barca, from a squad in crisis both in terms of playing style and finances, has been revived by coach Xavi after only 2 years. In fact, although Barca is 7 points behind Girona at the top of La Liga, it is only 5 points behind Real Madrid and equal on points with Atletico Madrid - those are their real big rivals. I think Barcelona's form is down because the players lack confidence. They lost to an emerging team like Girona. They're in bad condition. It's two bad results in a row.
Coach Xavi is not satisfied with this result. He thought his team played well, but mistakes in defense took away Barca's victory. Barca did not play badly, but they had to receive bad results. They have to improve their defense and finishing ability because that's why Barca failed.

If you look at the statistical data, Barcelona should be able to beat Velencia because this club is not very strong, especially as Velencia is not in good condition lately and has experienced 3 defeats from the last 5 matches. I think Barcelona can take advantage of opportunities when Velencia's condition is not good and I am sure Barcelona is capable achieved victory in this match.

Competing as a guest of course, Barcelona will experience a little difficulty against Valencia, even though from the statistics Valencia doesn't look consistent because they played very badly in their previous match, but in the match against Barcelona, at least Valencia must play as hard as possible to not lose points, at least they can balance Barcelona's game and share. points with Barcelona.

Barcelona are also not completely in good condition, especially considering yesterday's defeat in the UCL when they visited Antwerp, they were defeated 3-2, even though in the end they still qualified for the next round in the UCL, Xavi had to really put pressure on the players to get full points, especially The previous defeat also against Girona, they had to lose points, against Valencia at least Barcelona must be able to get full points to be able to maintain their position in the current standings.

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it.

After a series of defeats, Barcelona is showing impatience and losing confidence. The upcoming match against Valencia on Saturday is crucial for them to secure full points and stay competitive.

That's a very fair result for barcelona. Have you watched the game? If you have then you shall agree with me if barcelona played so poorly. The defensive line can do nothing to block the counter attack that was coming from girona.
Girona is performing even better right now. Glad to see that this team is slowly but surely climbing up to compete with real madrid for the title race right now. Im very happy michel has made really good progress for the club.

The lose against girona is obviously a set back for barcelona. I have seen that if many players were being so clueless and they don't even know what they are doing. Barcelona is not the same like last season. The club is having many problems.
The injury that happened with some of its players become the main problems. It will be quite difficult to solve it without getting a new player from other club.
The only question is whether barcelona has money to recruit the new player. It's a common knowlegde that barcelona is still in the financial crisis.

Compatibility between players and coaches is the key to being able to play an ideal game. So Girona can already read how to face opponents, no matter how big the club is. As long as you can build teamwork and don't give up easily, the results will be more satisfying. Girona needs to maintain this consistency, because we want to see La Liga have new candidates so that they don't get bored every season. Girona existence is certainly a big threat, especially after successfully beating Barcelona, Madrid demanded that they be more alert when they meet again. btw the two will meet in Week 24 of La Liga if I'm not mistaken. We hope that both teams are in the same stable condition so they can play an entertaining game.

I believe his eyes was already at the Valencia game so I think Barcelona will get back to winning ways this weekend. I can bet of this game that Barcelona will win.

Even though Barcelona can win the away match with Valencia, I think Barcelona will also remain in its current position if Atletico Madrid can win this week's match when they visit Athletic Club. Because up to now there are three teams that are a real obstacle for Barcelona to reach the top of the standings, so Xavi really has to give his best shot to all the players at Barcelona at the moment. If this is not the case, Barcelona will be further behind than the other three teams in the top three of the standings and will be more easily chased by other rivals from the lower ranks.

Really, Girona's journey this season is like a storybook. The fact that they were only trying to avoid relegation makes their rise to the top of La Liga even more impressive. Their plan and hard work paid off. Their ability to score goals really stands out to me. None of their star players do all the work; everyone, from the wingers to the midfielders, participates. Their varied way of striking makes them a tough opponent for any team. Their enormous confidence must have grown a lot after their recent win over Barcelona. They have my support to keep their lead. Being dedicated and working as a team shows that even the "smaller" teams can dream big.

However, Girona's process of currently being at the top of the La Liga standings is not easy. Michel Sanchez's important role as a coach was extraordinary in building the team.
Last season they also had to work hard enough to finish in the middle of the standings. but now the coach's strategy is working very well. every player understood the intent of the coach's tactics and it succeeded in placing Girona at the top, competing with Madrid and Barcelona.

One thing I've believed up to this point is that defending is harder than chasing. The same is the case with Girona right now, yes they have to maintain their position in the standings, and it will be much more difficult than they just imagine in second place for example. the article the pressure that comes to them will be much greater, especially the real threat to them is a very big club like Real Madrid, surely it will shake their mentality and if they can't control it, then sooner or later they will decline by themselves.
It's their job as a whole, and the coach's job will determine how they go forward. The coach has to be good at keeping their mentality in good shape.

This is where I fully disagree because Girona is structured differently than, for instance, Leicester City when they won the Premier League. Girona is built from the ground up with a successful future in mind. Does anyone here think that a miracle is happening in Girona?

The brother and advisor of Pep Guardiola owns the Girona Football Group and this group in turn owns 44.3% of Girona. This means the City Football Group and the Girona Football Group own almost 90% of the club. Now does anyone understand what is going on there?

I will make a bold prediction: the chance that Pep Guardiola will sign a contract with in the future with Girona is higher than zero!

This club has a serious plan and what could be more profitable than establishing a football club in the top of La Liga that belongs to the Guardiola family?

Just because something has a chance of happening, does not mean it is going to happen. Just because there is a chance for Pep to sign a contract with Girona, and just because it is higher than zero, does not mean that he is actually going to do it. It again comes to the same thing like, just because it is possible doesn't mean it is probable. And at the same time, just because Girona is performing well so far in this season, does not mean that they are actually going to do it consistently, especially throughout the whole season. Let alone in the next season.

Did you really take the time to explain that if the chance is not zero or higher than zero that it could happen, but it doesn't mean it will happen? Cheesy

Lol, that's funny because you took my entire post and rephrased it with as many words possible...

Anyhow, I believe that Pep Guardiola would not be willing to sign a lot more contracts in his life as a coach. He was a coach for Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester City and he ruled out ever becoming a coach for Real Madrid.

I think this leaves him with two possibilities: become the coach of a club that nobody expects, which could be Girona and since his brother is deeply involved with the club, that makes it possible as there are also massive financial incentives. Or he becomes a national coach.
