Strasbourg vs Lyon Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 13.08.2023

La Liga Preview

The 2022-23 campaign was a huge success for Barcelona, as they finally made their way back to the top of Spanish football. They were excellent throughout the season, as they won 28 of their 38 matches, and conceded just 20 goals. The target remains the same for Xavi and his players this term, as they look to retain the top prize. Barcelona have added strength in depth throughout pre-season, as the signings of Ilkay Gundogan and Inigo Martinez on free transfers could prove to be masterstrokes. Meanwhile, the club also brought in Oriol Romeu, who will help to fill the void left following Sergio Busquets’ departure to the MLS. Xavi will also be looking for more success on the continent this term, as Barcelona crashed out at the group stage in the Champions League last term. [news_button][/news_button] Getafe will be happy to put the 2022-23 season behind them, as they faced a nervy wait to secure their spot in the top-flight. They finished just two points above the relegation places, and were among the lowest scorers in the league last term after netting just 34 goals in 38 matches. That is an area where they must improve if they are to move up the league standings. Jose Bordalas remains in charge of the team after masterminding their route to safety at the conclusion of last term. There will certainly be a fresh feel about the team this term, as they have brought in five new players. The standout additions have been the signings of Portu and Omas Alderete from Real Sociedad and Hertha Berlin, respectively.

Getafe vs Barcelona Head to Head

Barcelona has an excellent overall record in this fixture, as they have won 22 of their previous 29 against Getafe. However, two of the last three have ended in draws, and Barcelona are without an away win against Getafe in their previous three visits.

Getafe vs Barcelona Prediction

This looks like a solid opening day fixture for Barcelona. However, the reigning champions look in good condition ahead of the start of the new campaign, and we fully expect them to get off to a winning start away from home.

Real Sociedad enjoyed an excellent 2022-23 season, and they will be looking to progress this term. However, Girona could present a tricky opening day assignment for Sociedad at Reale Arena.

Marseille vs Reims Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 12.08.2023

La Liga Preview

Real Sociedad were one of the stories of the season in La Liga last term, as they managed to secure a top four finish in the Spanish top-flight. They started the season excellently, before scraping over the line in the second half of the season. Sociedad won 21 of their 38 matches, which was the most of any side other than the top three. However, they struggled for goals throughout the campaign, as they netted just 51, which was nearly 20 fewer than Barcelona.

That appears to have been a position that the club have prioritised this summer, as Sociedad agreed a deal with RB Leipzig for the signing of Andre Silva. The Portuguese striker is a classy act on his day, and he undeniably offers Sociedad something that they didn’t have last season based on the fact that he has scored 140 career goals in 389 appearances.

Girona enjoyed a reliable campaign in La Liga last term, as they eventually finished the season in tenth. They would have been slightly disappointed with that finish, as they concluded the season just four points off the European places. However, they once again look to be a leading contender for at least a Europa Conference League spot.

They have brought in some big names over the summer moves, with Daley Blind signing from Bayern Munich, and Yangel Herrera, Pablo Torre, and Ivan Martin also joining the team. In pre-season, they went unbeaten in five matches, winning on three occasions.

Real Sociedad vs Girona Head to Head

Three of the previous four meetings between these sides have ended in draws. That included a 2-2 draw in this exact fixture in May. However, Sociedad is unbeaten in six previous clashes against Girona, winning on two occasions.

Real Sociedad vs Girona Prediction

Sociedad enjoyed an excellent start to the campaign last term, but this looks like a much trickier opening to this weekend. We expect to see a tight clash between these two sides, and a chance will be taken on a draw being the outcome on Saturday.
