Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 803. (Read 529902 times)

Right now we can say Real Madrid is the best team in the world, seconded by Mancity. The UCL champions are not bothered as no tough competitor in the La Liga race and just aswell needs to win Bayern before they can be called the UCL champions.  we all saw the points margin between Madrid and  their second place team. I see the progress of the team as a joint effort, both the coach and players knew how intense to play for a team like Real Madrid and how successful they were and tried as much as to play to that standard and it's really paying off with them winning important trophies.

Few months ago i was doubt Sevilla can able to avoiding relegation zone because although they were changing managers several times but there was no positive progress from Sevilla and indeed when Sevilla owner was decide to hire Quique Sánchez Flores seems this could be the right decision for them because under him Sevilla performance gradually better and their recent records also looks impressive because from 11 latest matches in Laliga Sevilla only gets 2 loses and these records is makes their position on League Table was lifted up to 12th place now

The winning result from Granada is really impressive because Sevilla can win with big scores from that team and this result too makes Granada most likely will be relegated to Segunda division this season and actually upcoming schedules for Sevilla is not too hard because before facing Bilbao and Barcelona they will fight against Villarreal and Cadiz and i am sure Sevilla can able to stole points from those teams but because Sevilla position is quite safe now i think the results matches from their upcoming opponents will have no affect to their final position on League Table because basically Sevilla already safe from relegation

It was too difficult to accept this defeat when Rayo seemed to be dominating the match but actually lost with a bad mistake leaving a huge amount of empty space and it started with a communication misunderstanding when Palazon gave a pass to Abdul Mumin but he lacked focus and ended up with the ball being snatched by Adri Embarba and assists Lozano.
there were lots of opportunities for Rayo to return the score and if I count the number of opportunities that Rayo had, there were around 3 opportunities that failed to score and if only they could score on these 3 opportunities it would definitely end in victory and my bet would also win.
the mistake I made was too much trust in Rayo, which was actually not in good condition, but I initially believed in Rayo and thought that this would be Rayo victory when he chose to maintain his position so as not to be displaced by the team below him because of his current position not very safe yet.

Successfully confirming the La Liga title before the second match of the Champions League will give Real Madrid more confidence to ensure the final spot in the Champions League.
Real Madrid was helped by the bad results that Barcelona got because they lost badly to Girona, but one of the keys to Real Madrid's success was their coach who managed to make this team better with only a few new squads, and player injuries and the decision not to buy players in the middle of the season it doesn't make them decline, although the instability factor of Girona and Barcelona means that Real Madrid is slowly getting easier competition, so thanks to Girona and Barcelona for stumbling when they should still be performing well.

17 points Almeria can only accept being relegated. Granada will definitely be relegated. Granada has a very difficult match schedule to get points. There are Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and Girona. On paper, it will be difficult for these teams to achieve their winning targets.


The top four are no longer tight because Real Madrid is just waiting for the time to celebrate as winners of the 2023/2024 LaLiga season.
Girona and Barcelona just want to maintain a better position. This means that Girona maintained their first runner-up position in the history of their competition in LaLiga.
For Barcelona, they may want to maintain their prestige as a big club. If this season they finish in 3rd place, then this will be the second time after the 2020/2021 season.

Atletico Madrid will lock in the last place to automatically qualify for the UCL. They will not let Athletic Bilbao take that position.

The position Real Madrid are right now in the la Liga league table, I think they are in a place to embrace this title in this season, because their points is more higher than any other teams which is one of the advantage they have to maintain that position through out this season to bring happiness to their fans. There are still another title in the champion league semi final, which Real Madrid are still in a good form to qualify for final if they will be able to defeat Bayern Munich 3-1 in their second leg which I have that trust that Real Madrid will achieve massive victory from that match. It was a surprised in the home of Girona to defeated Barcelona 4-2 to brought them down to third position, because they really prepared to achieve the three points from Barcelona in their home, which Girona did to moved to second position in the la Liga league table.

Yes, Real Madrid failed to achieve the trebble winners, but there are at least two important competitions that can be focused on in the fight for the title and one of them has been successfully achieved by Real Madrid, namely the La Liga competition.
Now Real Madrid only has to focus on the UCL which is the single most prestigious and most important competition for European football team.
UCL title is the single title most desired by all European team regardless of each domestic competition.
Ancelotti previously received contract extension and now if Real Madrid can win the UCL again, it will prove that Ancelotti is still great coach and is indeed worth keeping.

Indeed, the first leg ended in draw and this was home match for Bayern Munich, what I will say is that Bayern Munich, playing at home, cannot win, so whether in the away game they can play like in the first leg.
In the second leg Real Madrid had the advantage with the home game and this allowed them to win against Bayern Munich, they have history of very satisfying matches this season when playing at home.
It is clear that the semifinals make Real Madrid the favorite to qualify for the final.

Like what I thought before, Barcelona is indeed unstable, they are experiencing poor performance, perhaps because their defense is not good either. With my prediction, Girona will be able to win against Barcelona and the result is indeed like that. Girona succeeded in beating Barcelona and overtaking them, even though now the point difference between these two teams is not much different, Girona has succeeded in proving that they are not a weak team. Even though Barcelona took the lead by scoring the first goal, Girona was able to turn things around. Until Barcelona's defeat made them move down their ranking to third place.

I doubt Girona can catch Real Madrid from top position, in my opinion even if they can catch it it will be very difficult. with Real Madrid themselves they are a strong team so they can lead the top ranking. It's true that Girona is quite good with their performance, but I think they might not necessarily be able to beat Real Madrid's performance. Barcelona's defeat ensured that Real Madrid became LaLiga champions.

La Liga Champions are in for the top running matches and they're already secured their place in the UCL semi final and we know exactly what it means for such an elite team filled with greatness to enter such important phase in top tournament. Real Madrid in regards to their incredible performance this season. Carlo Ancelotti was here to accomplish his main targets on his radar and there's full evidence for his extreme hardwork. Perhaps they had preeminent rivals for the title which was Girona and Barcelona but only Gironistes proved to be one of the very best contender with fierce performance.

Main positions in La Liga are almost declared. In the relegation zone, Almeria and Granada will relegate for sure. There is Cadiz that seems to be hard for them to stay in La Liga with all bad results and the limited advantages they had.
In the top ranks, I believe the first four will remain like what they used to be. Athletic Bilbao seems to be the closest one to pick a Champions League spot, yet they are only 2 matches away from getting what they want, which remains relatively big.

To be honest for me, it was still a surprise, for the second time Xavi fleet lost to Girona this season, and as a result allowed Madrid to lock up the trophy more quickly. Girona, who had run out of energy, has now appeared consistent again, Michel fleet is indeed very worthy of playing in the Champions League next season. I think Girona will be able to maintain its position in second place until the season ends.

Michel cold hands have once again managed to break most of the predictions, where Girona has again managed to beat one of La Liga elite teams, and now they have to be respected by the other contestants. Since the start of the campaign, Girona has been able to maintain its position in the top four of the standings, this performance is certainly not just luck. Michel is the key figure behind Girona impressive performance this season.

By playing in the Champions League next season, Girona certainly needs to add depth to their squad, so they can compete with other strong teams in this European competition. However, Girona management should be able to make the loan players permanent first, because they have managed to adapt and perform satisfactorily this season.

In as much as I expected Barcelona to get a result against Girona yesterday in the Spanish La Liga, I wasn't too surprised that Girona instead were able to get all three points against Barcelona with a 4:2 win. The last season winners of the Spanish La Liga haven't been as impressive as they were last season in the league so beating them I don't think should be a big news considering how impressive Girona have been since the start of the current season.
Girona deserves to play in the UEFA Champions League after a very impressive season and I'm very happy that their place in the UEFA Champions League competition for next season have been confirmed after that win against Barcelona yesterday.

Yes, because if you think about it, who else would be Barcelona's football manager in a situation like this. They will probably only get a mediocre coach, not necessarily as good as Xavi in his management, because of financial problems which up to now have not been able to get out of this problem. The point is that Barcelona actually really hoped that Xavi would be there, and in the end Xavi did it. However, we don't really know what agreement or agreement he has achieved, because it's really not easy for Xavi, who is already quite stressed and dizzy with various pressures and also things that make him feel unappreciated there. However, this time Xavi was extraordinary enough to accept the decision and remain at Barcelona.

This time, Sevilla has continued its positive trend to continue fighting for a higher position. They managed to do so without losing in at least 5 matches of this season.
Sevilla managed to beat Granada with a score of 3 - 0. Not only that, they also completely dominated the game. Oh yes, this time, they achieved consecutive wins while competing at home, this is quite a good move.

Yes, however, their position has dropped quite a bit previously, so they are currently only in 12th position. Meanwhile, in the next few matches, their opponents are quite strong, including Bilbao and Barcelona. Will they really be able to survive or will their position drop again? This is quite risky for Sevilla.

A big surprise from Girona in their yesterday match against Barcelona which they put much effort and level the grand of Barcelona wor so muc goals. Because those that where making a wrong predicting against Girona was very surprised that yesterday with way they perform very well and make sure they dominate the match, many peoples take Girona granted with how the perform very poorly in their previous matches which everyone was having hoped for Barcelona that they can find the match so easy to win.

But Girona has proved to them they're also no more a weak team they now improve back with strong performance, if not be say lack of inconsistent is the main problem of Girona they supposed be the one holding the top standing by now, But nevertheless with how they're trying make their performance so strong they might catch up real Madrid from top standing.

I feels strange that Barcelona's defense have a vulnerable issue this season, because, last season, they were close to have a record for fewest conceded goals. Now they seem to be so weak at defending a lead and even conceding goals at crucial moments in the ending games. I think this is an effect of losing Busquet in midfield to cover the defense line.

I feel like the players have already given up with nothing for anymore. They have already secured their place in Champions League next season with finishing third at worst. If anything to fight for in the remaining games, It' only a pride to finish second, because it would be an embarrassment to finish the season below Girona after being above them for quite some times.

Girona performance has made a big difference in Laliga because they were not a strong team in the previous season and they are also not the favorite team to end the season in the top 4.
But everything is very different this season where Girona was able to show their best strength and was able to stay in second place in the standings.

Girona this season also managed to beat Barcelona with a big score because in the first meeting Girona managed to end the match with a 2-4 win.
So, in yesterday match, Girona also managed to achieve a big win at home by humiliating Barcelona with a score of 4-2.

The victory over Barcelona meant that Girona had succeeded in securing a ticket to the Champions League next season. Girona certainly has to be able to improve their game better and more consistently next season because playing in the Champions League will certainly be more difficult and also next season will be Girona first season playing in the Champions League.

Indeed, despite Madrid's impressive win in yesterday's match, they also have Girona to thank for taking the pressure off and focusing on the Champions League for now.
Although Madrid still can't get the treble because they always have problems with the Copa del Rey, but for now they still have the opportunity to match the Champions League trophy with La Liga.

Yesterday's match Barcelona actually had good momentum, it's just that the second half did not go well for them. There were so many mistakes they made in yesterday's match that they had to be willing to give the trophy quickly to Madrid, especially after the goal created by Sergi Roberto's mistake they were completely destroyed and their mentality was also disturbed which made the defense even worse.
With the current situation, they must improve themselves from the beginning because lamenting the fate of not being able to get even 1 trophy this season must be used as a reference again that Barcelona still cannot be consistent for each season.

Saying Barcelona is Ina good form wouldn't be a totally correction in it's entirety because Barcelona recently suffer some kind of decline and are just trying their best to still make sure they finish at a relatively good position before the end of the season as they are not able to win the la Liga title, they can still be able to make it to the champions league next season and probably be able to improve.

Girona has been really fired up this season an they have so far exhibited a different level or resilience which is beginning to look unmatched with others in the la Liga this season except for Real Madrid who happens to be at the top of the table and aswell in one of the best form so far this season too aswell in the la Liga. Gironas performance sometimes comes to me as surprise because some how at some point I didn't actually expect that much from them but they were able to do it anyways, the first leg against Barcelona this season they had almost similar performance too and the number of goals they get everytime they meet Barcelona is another thing to consider.

Barcelona actually have a good attack, a fair midfield but their defense is such that they actually need some form of reinforcement because it's just penetrable once there's a certain amount of pressure on it, it tends to be penetrable but if it's not pressured well enough then it will look like it's a good one and that was what Girona understood and probably used it, they seem to know of the midfield been relatively fair so they didn't allow the ball concentrate long enough in the midfield rather keeping it at the Barcelona defense created a pressure around the defense which later created room for the penetration.

There is momentum why Girona can really make a comeback in the home match. Starting from Sergi Roberto's passing error when he wanted to throw the ball, that was the initial moment why Barcelona conceded their second goal to Girona. After that, Barcelona began to build attacks again which allowed them to create several opportunities, but they couldn't score any more goals.

Barcelona's defense lost concentration after two quick goals between Portu and Miguel Gutierrez, then Portu sealed the win with a volley against Marc-André ter Stegen. I'm sure Xavi is really angry about this embarrassing incident, but the most important thing to do is not to continue feeling guilty but to get up for the rest of the season, especially in the next 4 matches. Barcelona must win all the points and only then can they end the season in 2nd place with the consequence that Girona loses or loses 2 points in the remaining matches.

To be honest am really impressed with the way Girona tried to be able to maintain themselves to this level, at the beginning of the season many were doubting them on making it to the Champions League, some were saying they may lose form along the way but unfortunately they are able to maintain their form. Barcelona performance this season don't impressed me at all, even when i noticed their defeat i wasn't surprised because already their performance as declined even with their past matches the lost to PSG and real Madrid, won against valencia but still i wasn't convinced for them to beat Girona because of the valencia strength in the table.
