Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Real Madrid must be really delighted with not only winning the Spanish Super Cup title but also Girona's losing two points in the league.

Girona were unbelievably horrible against Almeria and I really am curious about the reason why. Because Almeria are literally the worst team in the league with 0 wins and only 6 points.

How can you be this bad against the last team in the standings? Girona aren't one of the big teams in the league normally maybe but we all know how they are playing this season. There must be many people who bet on Girona as it was an easy game but lost at the end. Sad

Betting on Girona's victory in this match is also not very good because the odds offered are certainly not that profitable.
and with this situation, Madrid looks like they can take over the top of the La Liga standings with their next match against Almeria. but I still hope that Girona can maintain its performance to make it into the title race this season. because they hope that Bilbao or Barcelona will not be able to catch Madrid.
If Girona falls behind by a few more points in the next match, perhaps no one will be able to catch Madrid.

I mean if Barcelona or ATM wins their extra game (they are at 19 games played, Girona had 20) then that means the difference will drop to just 5 points, which isn't really a whole lot, just two games out of all the other games worse than them and they are lower. I keep telling people that last games of the season are the hardest ones but people ignore that.

It doesn't matter if you are playing against a great club or a terrible one, a team like Girona do not have the experience to be ahead and keep on winning to win that title, they are going to get a lot more anxiety the close r we get to the end. If these teams end up playing well enough, they could still pass beyond Girona, and I am saying this about the team that is literally at the top right now.

Yes but this underestimates the fact that Real Madrid is essentially 7 points ahead and what's more important here is how Barcelona plays. Their game is far from being impressive and their goal statistics are quite telling as well. Normally Barcelona had a great defense while they didn't have the best offense. Like last season when they had a clean sheet like close to 30 times or so. But the number of goals they are scoring this season is too low for these close games to always end in a win for them. They conceded twice as many goals as their biggest rival Real Madrid. That's an issue that can clearly be seen in the table results. Barcelona has one single player in the top 30 scorers. Talking about Barcelona, this seems to be really wrong. Top 30 and only one player! Lewandowski with 8 goals.
