Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 976. (Read 540033 times)

Their victory in the first leg was very beneficial for them, but I was also quite worried when they were pressured in the remaining time of the match. I saw them trying to secure the lead rather than trying to increase the lead they had at that time, as a result Borussia Dortmund were able to steal 1 goal to make their task no more difficult in the second leg. They changed the existing strategy and that is quite worrying in my opinion.

In the second leg, they won't be able to play with a strategy like that, because it will be very risky for them. I hope they can play like their usual game to increase their chances of scoring goals.

In La Liga, they also still have to fight, because their current position is not completely safe to get a place in the Lifga Champions next season, especially since they will still have tough matches against their competitors in the same standings fighting for the top 4 places.

Atletico Madrid must try to win in order to continue to be in the top four in the UCL zone, because if the result of their match is a draw. Bilbao also has the opportunity to snatch the top four position from Atletico Madrid if Bilbao is able to win when they host Villarreal this weekend. So the Atletico Madrid vs Girona match will clearly be really crucial for both of them because it is in order to maintain their position in the standings table even though Girona will still be in the top three if they lose at Atletico Madrid's home ground.

To be quite honest, Real Madrid is currently leading the La Liga trophy. However, a lot of people had high hopes that Barcelona would be able to overtake Real Madrid in the standings, but their predictions were merely theoretical and would never come to pass. Despite their strong hopes based on their present performance, I have doubt that Real Madrid will be able to win the La Liga trophy; they have great expectations.

Girona was the only team I was really excited about when La Liga first started because they worked really hard and became the league champion. However, because of their inconsistent play, they were only able to finish in third place; however, if they keep up their current level of play, they will be able to pass Barcelona in second place.

We also saw in the Manchester City match that they have a very dangerous forward line. They can get into a scoring position with 3 people at once. The players are very fast and don't seem to be stopped easily. Barcelona has gained good momentum, but I don't think they can beat Real Madrid when they meet.

I want to agree with your Analysis because even Girona going by their records in their last five games they have almost similar results with Atletico which could be related to almost equality in their strength as they have a similar results but then Girona appears better in that they had three wins while Atletico has gotten just two wins a draw and two losses in their last five game and they are at the fourth position on the table.

Bilbao is actually fighting so hard to get to top four because they know how much they will be able to achieve staying there a d me i still trust Atletico to be able to perform so well and getting to win in their next game to maintain their Fourth position and possibly getting ahead of girona, my confidence for Atletico became much better after i saw their performance in the champions league, except they are not putting up same performance as they do in their domestic league in the champions league because their champions league performance is well enough to give them a better results in their domestic league.

Atletico is already gaining a good form in the champions league and i think that alone will reduce the pressure on them and they will be at better mind playing their domestic League such that they will be able to make sure to have more wins in their domestic league to be able to maintain their position and get an opportunity to playing Champions league again next season. Girona may likely be able to maintain the third position as they have actually tried well enough to be maintaining their position at the top of the table.

So far this season, Real Madrid have been very much active and set towards the La Liga trophy goal. They've in many weeks played games and ensured good results that's gotten and kept them in the top spot of the league table. Even though a couple of times, their performances have been reducing in range, they've still being able to manage a win before the end of the game.

 Well, they still have the champions confidence and determination in them too, adding that their manager is very much experimental in his approach to their games. They're a good team and they sure do know how to fix up their errors. Well it's very much essential that they correct errors faster and avoid incidents that are drastic and costly to occur as the times left won't entertain mistakes because it'll only be irreparable.

 Their encounter against Sevilla well ended in a victory for them but they ought to have done better. Their performances in time past was enough evidence to show how capable they are for the game against Sevilla. Well, I don't know exactly who to blame though but I feel they're starting to take chances too. I think it only got scary and dangerous two games ago when they took on Vallecano and were left to a draw. Now one would think how such proactive team playing the host would succumb to a visiting team who are less performing than they are. Well that's the unpredictable nature of football.

 Sevilla themselves have all time being tough contenders in the league, giving big teams tough times too and it's understandable that they were able to ensure and cover up all the chances Madrid tried to make in the game. Well Madrid are a better team and they've got to show it on the pitch. We'll see how the next games would hold up for them.

Basically Atletico and Dortmund are in the same situation at this moment, because they also still have to work well to maintain their position in the top four of the standings in their respective leagues. But yes, Atletico managed to get the victory in the first leg but even so, Atletico still have to exert their best efforts in the next match in LaLiga because Atletico will play against Girona in thenext LaLiga matchday. Butyes, maybe, because at this moment Atletico is in a good trend and mentality, then maybe Atletico will also still have a good chance to keep getting points at home. Because afterall, Girona is also not as good and strong as before, because lately Girona has also experienced instability and therefore, it looks like Atletico has a good chance of being able to beat Girona as a way of revenge too.

Will Girona be able to overtake Barcelona?

I think this is a question that is in the minds of a lot of players and people as well. The Barcelona team is probably not going to perform very well because of all the problems that they have. Even though they are in the second position, there is a chance that they will not be able to consistently win till the end of the season. And I think that is something the team will count on. Otherwise, it is going to be a problem for them. For Girona to finish in the second position, Barcelona has to lose.

By the way, Girona has some hard matches to play in the rest of the matches that they have to play. So probably Barcelona will finish in the second position. But we all know, Barcelona has problems of their own.

If later in the second leg Real Madrid cannot beat City, maybe that will be a bad thing for Real Madrid. However, it cannot be denied that with City, they are an equally strong team, judging by their previous matches, they have never lost, with only a draw being the lowest. and maybe they will, if what you say is true in the second leg, they won't be able to qualify for the UCL. but they can still lead in La Liga, where they have more points than other teams.

With Barcelona experiencing consecutive defeats against Real Madrid, of course that made them miss out on a lot of points. With this, it is clear that the opportunity for Real Madrid to take the lead is getting bigger except in La Liga, but I don't expect anything, I will just enjoy the excitement of every match, especially with big and equally strong teams.

Even though they often don't get good results lately, Atletico still proves their quality when they are in bigger competitions and the victory against Dortmund means a lot for their players to continue to get other wins in La Liga. This week they will face Girona first of all and indirectly this is one of the key matches for Atletico to cut points from Girona in the standings.

Apart from that, against Bilbao the situation will be very similar to against Girona and there is no reason for Atletico not to win. Because if Atletico loses in these two matches, it is certain that they will not be able to stay in the top four for longer and that will make it easier for Bilbao to overtake Atletico. I wonder if Atletico can still finish in the top four when the competition will be tougher at the end of the season.

They're are capable but the fixtures they have ahead are hell too much, let's see what they can achieve yet again. They have experience and this league can only be achieved with consistency.
Eight points behind second place Barcelona is not too much, they should be locked in and don't forget the bigger picture at f the season, winning the La Liga Competition and also the Champions League.
The Champions League Competition though comes with a lot. Truly, I doubt they would be deciders of this year's Champions League Competition.

I miss the hungry Girona, after they faced off with Real Madrid on both half's of the season, they decided to drop points as Real Madrid was just too good and strong for them.
Though, before that game, they lost some key players to suspension and also the manager.

Are you giving up easily on your favorite club Real Madrid too soon. I guess this is not last season, and same thing would not repeat itself again. Real Madrid will try hard not to accept defeat in Etihad, even though it is not their ground.

I know that it would not be an easy match on that day, because Pep will be fighting to win the game at all cost, and he has that advantage playing at home. But this is football and we might be surprised with the outcome of the match.

Atletico Madrid are coming back to the La Liga after a really valuable win against Dortmund. I think they will reach next phase in the Champions League as well. Simeone is doing his best to keep a balance between the Champions League and La Liga. However they are still under danger of finishing out of top four in the league. 

In this month they are playing two tough league games against Girona and Athletic Bilbao. Both are home ones which could be seen as advantage. If they collect 6 points from these games I will be more confident about them to finish in top four. Otherwise they might be in trouble.

This is a crucial match for both teams. Girona wants to continue to be in the top 3 by continuing to perform consistently, but Atlètico also doesn't want to lose its place in the UCL because Bilbao continues to chase it in 5th position. If Atlètico loses this match it will open the way for Bilbao to overtake it to be in in the UCL zone, therefore Atlètico will play as well as possible. They don't want to suffer another defeat when they face Girona. Atlètico's home match should be superior in this regard.

A draw at home will of course make it even more difficult for Real Madrid to win the second leg which will be played at home to Manchester City. I see this as what happened last season.
Ancelotti is a very experienced coach and he has tried hard to make Real Madrid better than last season, but it must also be admitted that Manchester City's strength is very strong so it is quite difficult to beat them.

Now Real Madrid must focus on the second leg and I think they are not bothered by the La Liga match because for now Real Madrid is still quite comfortable at the top of the standings without any pressure from their rivals.

Ateltico's current problem is just fatigue because after all, a few days' rest after yesterday's big match against Dortmund clearly makes Atletico's situation a little doubtful because after all it must be difficult when facing Girona with the strength we know that Girona has great strength, so fatigue is a little difficult for Atletico to face when facing Girona later.

The current situation is still fifty-fifty although for the performance in the last few matches Atletico is still very promising but still when talking about fatigue this must be a little difficult even for Atletico and surely Girona is the one who has the advantage when talking about player fitness.
But another advantage of Atletico is playing home which of course this is another advantage even though sometimes we can't just rely on home games alone to make Atletico win.

Real Madrid do well because they perform very well because everywhere come to win matches to get the chance to qualify to the next round, but I think Guadiola is planning something in the second leg in the Etihad he beach de Bruyne and Doku in the fast leg because they will do the rest in the Etihad because I know before the second leg all guadiola players will be back so that they can get the strength to defeat madrid, but I just believe madrid will not make Manchester City win them this season. because madrid do well against Manchester City in the fast leg is just that madrid miss lose there chances and  reduce there performance in the second half that make foden get the chance and score beautiful goals,  since madrid are leading by one they reduce there straight and be playing weak game.

What I've noticed with Madrid's games, when they're leading their opponents, they don't always perform well, but when they're ahead, you can see Madrid doing well, confusing the other team, and making a comeback. I believe Madrid can achieve it because they have more experience than Manchester City and have won 24 Champions League titles, which they will add this season because Guadiola believes he is the finest coach and is attempting to demonstrate Ancelotti that he is better than them. Is attempting to win the Champions League consecutively, and if Guadiola wins the Champions League again this season. I don't think Madrid can beat Manchester City anymore, unless they add fresh players to the club next season.

City's draw was tough. Ancelotti can be too cautious against top-tier clubs, especially away from home. However, they dominate La Liga. Currently, they're Spain's best team.  Madrid is dominating the league because Barcelona is concentrating on the Champions League.

Legendary Ancelotti. He's Champions League royalty and knows his stuff. The fact that they're steady without La Liga competition says a lot. Girona no longer pushes them into battle. Experience and team management are Madrid's strengths.

In my opinion, Ancelotti made Real a very strong team this season, probably the best in recent seasons, but they could not beat City at home. Whether they will be able to do this away, I’m not sure, I think that Ancelotti will again count on a draw and a penalty. This time City will have the support of the fans. It would be very important if Ederson could play in the return match, I can’t find any information about his condition, perhaps in the match in Madrid it was a weak position in the team, it was too obvious.

Atletico Madrid's last match in Laliga against Villarreal with a narrow score of 1-2 was won by Atletico Madrid and during the match Villarreal controlled more of the ball, of course it is a natural thing if you make Girona your favorite team in the match.

in Girona's last match in Laliga, Girona managed to beat Betis with a score of 3-2, of course this will make Michel's troops appear confident against Athletico Madrid in the upcoming match in Laliga. Yes, this match will definitely be an important match and Girona will definitely want to shift Barcelona's position. and Atletico Madrid certainly wants to get maximum points.

It looks like Atletico Madrid as the host will usually appear full of confidence and definitely don't want to be embarrassed by Girona and Atletico Madrid will definitely want revenge because in the first meeting at Montilivi Atletico Madrid lost.

It will indeed be difficult to predict the outcome of the match, but their match will definitely be entertaining and hopefully we will make a profit when betting.
