Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 979. (Read 540129 times)

With the way Girona have been dropping points for some time now and looking at how strong Atletico Madrid have become even they showed their capacity in their Champions league game against Borussia Dortmund where they won by 2:1 and have an advantage of qualifying for the champions league semi finals so if they use same energy on Girona, they will win though Girona needs to focus more on the rest of their matches in other to have a spot on Champions league next season because if Atletico madrid wins that means the gap between the both teams will start closing up.

The only thing I think will affect Atletico Madrid is that since they played match today against Borussia Dortmund, most of their players may be tired playing Girona just within a short time after the champions league game.

All Spanish teams in the champions league are doing quite well and it's not a thing to doubt both Barcelona and Atletico had done so well tht I'm really impressed by their performance and really impressed aswell because i had taught before now thst i wouldn't see such performance as this and so i must say I'm impressed as it appears they may be able to probably go beyond this point of the league this season.

Atletico Madrid was actually really quick to getting their first goal in this game and it was actually a really interesting one to see them get such a result in tbe shortest time as at the beginning in the early minutes of the first half they had their first goal. Same applied with Barcelona having their first goal in the first half of the game too aswell, Barcelona had a really brilliant performance although it was at some point balanced by PSG buy they still for victory in the end. Atletico was really good beyond expectations in my point of view because i felt they were inexperienced in champions league.

Dortmund dis appears like they were more better in form a s would be able to win atletico buy it felt since atletico was able to get to this point they are definitely going to make sure to get something off the champions league let's see how well they will perform in the second meeting buy i do hope they will be able to get pass this stage of the champions league probably you the semi finals which will mean having two Spanish teams at the semifinals.

The narrow difference in points allows Barcelona to compete with Girona for the runner-up position, and Atletico compete with Bilbao for a ticket to the Champions League and they could exchange positions again, while Madrid is a little safe because they have a difference of 8 points. Of course there will be many possibilities that could happen in the next 8 remaining matches, and one of the important matches that could make changes to next week standings is the Atletico versus Girona match. It is clear that Bilbao hopes that Girona can hold back Atletico so that they can break into the top four again, but on paper Simeone squad is slightly more favored because they act as hosts.

But even though Girona performance is currently uncertain, Michel squad could make a surprise, like they did in the first half of the season. Previously, many did not think they could secure full points when facing Atletico, something similar could happen again. Meanwhile, I also predict that the four teams currently in the Champions League zone will be able to maintain their position until the end of the season, regardless of who will be lucky to get additional tickets with the new Champions League format.

The quarter final games have been drawn, now it's seeming like a reincarnating battle. The rivalry continues and it all seems unpredictable. The odds for team qualifications are a bit difficult to predict as  the game only gets tougher now and a lot has to be put into consideration without neglecting how different the performance may turn out on the field of play.

 PSG will battle out with Barcelona, Arsenal with Munich, Real Madrid with City and Atletico with Dortmund. The toughest game of these schedules would have been all except for Munich and Arsenal but as it stands, Arsenal still has a shot against this German side considering how poor Munich have been in passing weeks and then Arsenal giving their all to their games.

 Though they've not had a good UCL record, so in records, Munich stands a chance. So comparing both teams, it's just best to leave the decision to be decided on the pitch. Real Madrid and City are title contenders too in their respective leagues, UCL title is as well their natural aim and so one of them would have to surrender it off at this stage of the competition.

 Yesterday's encounter for City and Madrid proved entertaining being that the teams are top domestic league title contenders and they've got a world class squad. It ended in a fair draw for both sides and it's really difficult to say the highest probable side to qualify considering the level of impact they bring to the pitch. From the start till the end of the game, the teams were able to prove to themselves their class, worth and ability to be champions. The second leg is highly anticipated and really not to bet or vouch for any team, let the best team win.

except for Real Madrid position.
from everything you say, it is true that the top 4 in the standings or even the top 5 in the standings will still have a lot to change in the remainder of this match, but it doesn't look like shifting Real Madrid position will be too easy for anyone below Madrid.
another reason I say this is because I am a little doubtful about the final result of Madrid who will fight in the UCL because the match at home still only ends in a draw and in the second leg I am worried that Madrid will not be able to withstand attacks from Man City and end up failing again to qualify for the tournament semi final round.
and when Real Madrid fails to qualify for the next round of course Madrid will only focus on the La Liga match and that's when the point difference gets higher and my only hope is that ATM can beat Girona and immediately move from the top 3 positions.

It depends on how you look at it. Of course it was risky to bet on Girona repeatedly at the start of the season because their rise in La Liga was not to be expected. They conquered the top of the table and beat some of the best teams out of nowhere. Their winning streak and even more their streak going without a loss for a very long time was absolutely impressive. But obviously this doesn't make them a safe bet ever and odds adjusted over time accordingly. So if it was ever a good idea retrospectively to put money on them, it was of course during the earlier months of the season as that was the time when the bookmakers still put them at pretty high odds while they were playing like the favorites in almost any La Liga game.

Betting on Girona has been quite risky even since the start of this season. It's just that betting on Girona has also made many people win with their bets. Meanwhile, betting on Atletico Madrid this season the results are not good enough. And yes, Girona is indeed a team that surprised everyone this season. And their declining consistency since mid-season is what makes things even riskier when we bet on them. But their next opponent is Atletico Madrid who are currently playing against Dortmund in the UCL. And maybe it is true that Atletico Madrid will be in less than optimal performance in the match against Girona. Because Atletico Madrid only has a little time to rest. But as hosts, perhaps Atletico Madrid will still be favourites. And of course Atletico Madrid will also want to avenge the defeat they suffered in their first meeting when they faced Girona. So I am sure Atletico Madrid will have high motivation to win this match.

Both Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao must expect Girona or Atletico Madrid gets bad results. So they will take the advantage from the bad results. Barcelona will be safe in 2nd place if Girona fails to get full points. Meanwhile Athletic Bilbao will have the chance to overtake Atletico Madrid in 4th place if they fail to get 3 points in the upcoming match. Well, the result of the match Atletico Madrid vs Girona may influence the positions on the La Liga standings.

Sure Girona has the advantage because they will play at home and they have a longer time to prepare the match. Girona players also have enough time to take a rest. It is different with Atletico Madrid players, they won't have enough time to take a rest because they are playing in UCL today. And it is also an away match for them, it won't be easy to play in the opponent home. In theory, Girona has a better chance to win the match but we can't underestimate Atletico Madrid because they are also a strong team.

Girona is a surprise team, however. You don't know how they will play, sometimes they play great. Sometimes they happen on a bad day. Girona is always a good team for risk-loving betting lovers, but if you are thinking of making less risky bets like me, you should stay away. Atletico is currently playing in the UCL and they will be tired until the next match. This will naturally affect their match performance.

There are still big matches and or difficult matches in the next matches in La Liga for the top four teams and therefore, changes in position are still possible. Although indeed, perhaps the changes in position that will occur will also not have too big a change for the teams that are in the top four at this time. Therefore, the current top four teams seem to still have a chance to be able to maintain it but indeed, bad results or bad luck can also occur at any time and this makes Bilbao also still have a chance to be able to finish in the top four. But for the next La Liga match that Atletico will play at home against Girona and with a chance like this, then of course Atletico are targeting to beat Girona of course to make their points gap closer while strengthening their position in the top four.

I don't think top 4 is possible if they don't plan to overtake Girona because right now, Atletico club are closer to Atletico Madrid than A. Madrid is closer to Girona. If you want to win a place in the top 4, your aim shouldn't be trying to maintain your place but to over take people so that you can have confidence in your position. If for instance now Atletico club win their next match and Atletico Madrid lose their next one and Girona win their next one as well, then Atletico Madrid will be kick out of the top 4.

Roght now, even Girona are not playing to give the second place to Barcelona, they may have fumble along the like but don't deserve to fining in third place because it will be a shame for a team that top the table from beginning of the season only to be push down by others.

Yes. Girona are already weak; they are not in the form to fight Barcelona because Barcelona is now in a good position when it comes to fighting for the title or fighting for their current position in the table. I know that they will surely remain in that position; they won’t want to lose to any team because even if they don’t get the trophy, staying in the second position of the table is a good result for them. Maybe next season they will put in more effort to top the table, and then probably they will win the title next season, but as of this season, Real Madrid have already gotten to the place where we will just conclude that they will win the title this season. 

Both teams between Girona and Atletico Madrid are both tasked with maintaining their position to qualify for the champions league next season, this meeting is quite difficult in my opinion for both of them, even though Girona was inconsistent in his last match but that also applies to Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid cannot be said to be consistent so I think you are too sure to bet @Rampage004 about Atletico Madrid.

Even Atletico Madrid are much more inconsistent in their last five matches they got 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw, while Girona 3 wins and 2 defeats, isn't that much better than Atletico Madrid?
Indeed, the task of both is quite heavy in this meeting, although if one of them loses or draws will not overtake each other this week but vigilance is something that must be considered by both coaches, because the remaining weeks will be very decisive and they still have a chance to catch up with each other including Bilbao too, it is still possible for them to catch up if Atletico Madrid loses more points at the end of the season and Bilbao can collect points at that time too.

It will be a match that Barcelona will follow. Another team is Athletic Bilbao. Both teams will want to defeat the team closest to them. Of course, Girona has the advantage, but Atletico Madrid is a difficult team but will come out of a difficult match. They will play against Girona after the Champions League match. I think Girona will take the advantage in the league.

The Atletico Madrid vs Girona match will certainly be fierce, how could both teams not want to get three points to secure their current position. Of course, Girona, who experienced several defeats, made their mentality drop a bit. Victory in this match will revive their enthusiasm because in the remaining matches, Girona will still face Barcelona. As we all know, Girona managed to beat Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the previous match, of course in the next match these two teams don't want to lose any more points when facing Girona.

Yes, right. Apart from wanting to catch Girona, Atletico Madrid's position is also not safe in fourth place because they are still haunted by the Bilbao team, which is currently only two points behind Atletico. I'm sure Diego Simeone will use all his strength to beat Girona, especially since this match will be played in front of his own supporters.

This season should be a splendid season for Real Madrid after replacing Girona in the first place and have come this far in the champions league competition also. This time around they are very close and probable of winning the La Liga than the Champions League trophy or both. Their yesterday’s game with Manchester City was a very tough one for them that they were not able to get a win in that match. In the second leg, we are still expecting a very tough match, so for now, it is better their full hopes be in La Liga and hope for a victory in the Champions League match by putting in their best performance in the pitch.


This will be a very big match for Atletico Madrid and they will try as much as possible to win this game without minding the team they’re going to be playing against. Girona on the other hand will also be in their best form to secure their third place after dropping from first place to second place and now on third position on the standings. I am very confident for both teams and I will rate them both on an even level because they are both in need of a win in this match and would be at their best. When teams plays at their best, it becomes very hard to predict who the winner will be.

It's not that Atletico wanted to overtake Girona in the table, for the most part it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to stay in the top 4, because Bilbao are too close to them and any loss of points could create a problem for them. Top 4 is important for Simione, because I doubt that he expects to get a place in the Champions League next season by winning in the final. As for Girona, yes they have become weaker now and I don’t think that they have the task of fighting with Barcelona for second place, they have the same goal, to remain in the top 4.

Girona is currently in a depressed condition even though they are in third position at the moment, now the competition to stay in the top 4 is getting tighter after Bilbao also began to enter the competition to be able to play in the Champions League next season, now with the continued consistency of Atletico Madrid and Bilbao will certainly make Girona's position will be more difficult especially next week they will face a difficult match against Atletico Madrid,  Indeed, currently Atletico Madrid and Girona have a gap of 7 points, but as you said, if indeed Girona fails to beat Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, of course it will make Girona's chances of getting out of the top 4 wide open.

I think girona does have to maintain their consistency at the moment, beside to move up the higher ranks of course keeping distance from atletico madrid and bilbao must be their main focus at the moment, I think with the rest of the match right now of course all possibilities can happen especially so far girona's performance Is declining,  So it is not only Barcelona and Atletico Madrid that may be a stumbling block for Girona later, and even other small teams can also make girona hopes to playing in the Champions League next season can disappear.

Atletico Madrid will be very motivated to win that match. They have to maintain their ranking because the athletic club still has the opportunity to shift their position. Girona is quite comfortable in third place with a 7 point advantage over Atletico. If they lose it will not change their position in third place but they have the chance to lose third place. Girona's performance has been inconsistent in the last few games and that makes me bet that Atletico will win the game. Girona's inconsistency means I would never put my money on Girona.

Next week there will be a match between Atletico Madrid vs Girona. This match will be held at Atletico Madrid's headquarters and that is an advantage for them. In the last 5 matches, the two teams were quite evenly matched in terms of match results, they only lost 2 times, but the difference was that Atletico Madrid achieved 1 draw while Girona did not.
They are 7 points away in the standings now, if Atletico Madrid can win this match then they will close the gap to 4 points, but if Girona can win then they will be more comfortable in 3rd place in the standings.
Atletico Madrid will try hard to win this match, because if they lose then they will be displaced by Atletico Bilbao who are just below them with a distance of only 2 points.
It is quite difficult to predict who will win in a tight match like this. Because I think their chances are not much different, 40/60 is probably the percentage I can give in this match.
