As a Real Madrid fan I would say predicting the la liga champions for these season should not be difficult. Real Madrid are the only top team in la liga in the title race. Aside any sentiments I don’t see neither Barcelona or athletico Madrid wining the la liga. Although girona are currently in the title race this season. I see them finishing 3rd below Barcelona this season
I don't see Girona finishing in third position, it is either they win the La Liga title or they are runner's up. When Girona started the season so strong and were winning games, everybody thought they would have fallen a long time ago, but that hasn't happened, and they are now fully in the title race. The problem for Girona is simply the experience of Real Madrid, it would be so hard for Girona to defat Madrid in a two horse title race, it will be something unbelievable if it happens, this is why i believe there is a high chance that Girona may finish 2nd on the table.
It is of course not impossible for Atletico Madrid to close that gap and take Girona's position soon, but I think it is not likely. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are fighting for 3 points in a couple of days, which means that one of the two teams will drop points or both if they tie the game while Girona can once again overtake Real Madrid or extend their lead to third position.
Atletico Madrid has still the games to be played against Barcelona and Girona, both of which will be home games for Girona. But it will be devisive how Girona will do against the top teams from Madrid. If they can ensure they don't lose both games, I think they will still be pretty well situated for the rest of the season. 8 points can vanish quickly should they lose their games against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, but the jury is still out on those games.
