La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[fuguebtc]

Real Madrid now have to fight with their best in La Liga to rescue a completely failed season. Even they win Coppa del Rey, it will not be enough to rescue this season for them, only La Liga title can heal pain they got from Arsenal in Champions League.

Since Madrid has been eliminated from the Champions League, now the team will try their best to win the La Liga title and the Copa Del Rey title. However, winning these two titles is quite difficult for Madrid. Their main opponent in both places is Barcelona. Winning against Barcelona is a big challenge for Real Madrid at the moment.

Also, Ancelotti will probably leave Real Madrid after the Copa Del Rey match. It is not yet certain who the new coach will be. If Ancelotti resigns at this moment, Madrid will face a big problem. The players also need time to adapt to the new coach's match strategy. Madrid may not be able to win any title this season.

Is it already known that Ancelotti will definitely leave Real, or will it only be decided after the Cup final? I think that Ancelotti's main mistake was that he relied on the defensive players he had on the bench, and it is obvious that they were weak to play well all season. In the winter transfer window, he should have thought about strengthening, but he decided to wait until the summer and perhaps wait for the return of those players who are currently injured.

Simeone's students are playing an away game against Las Palmas today. Their job might not be very easy as it seems though. Because Las Palmas are fighting to not relegate and they have a realistic chance for it as well.

We can't consider Atletico Madrid in the La Liga title race much on the other hand. This situation might cause them to get a little complacent maybe. Even if they win I don't think it will be with a big score. I'm thinking of BTTS @1.75 for betting purposes.

Valencia will have a difficult away game this week. Rayo Vallecano has been bad in recent weeks but they are playing well at home.

A typical draw.
The games they played against each other ended in a draw, especially when they were at Rayo's home ground.
If Valencia, who is in better form, wins, they will be tied on points with Rayo.

Playing against Rayo is not as difficult as when they played against Real Madrid 2 weeks ago so I don't think Valencia will mind much when facing Rayo this time, Valencia have had quite good weeks lately and haven't lost in their last 5 games so I will back Valencia even though they have to play away but also have to be careful because Rayo are not a weak club and can make things difficult for Valencia.

My friend, the motivation for each match is different. Players may not be as motivated for Vallecano as they are for Real Madrid. I also support Valencia, but even if we draw, it won't be a bad result. I would be happier if we win. Valencia lost once in their last 5 away matches, and they lost by a large margin to Barça. Valencia's away record is also good right now. I hope they win for Valencia, but it will be a tough match.

Playing against Rayo is not as difficult as when they played against Real Madrid 2 weeks ago so I don't think Valencia will mind much when facing Rayo this time, Valencia have had quite good weeks lately and haven't lost in their last 5 games so I will back Valencia even though they have to play away but also have to be careful because Rayo are not a weak club and can make things difficult for Valencia.

Valencia has been in their best form recently. Firstly, Valencia has won four of the last 5 matches and drawn one. The team is unbeaten in all 5 matches. Secondly, Valencia has defeated Madrid and Sevilla in the last two matches. This shows that the players are very confident at the moment.
Rayo Vallecano is not a weak team. However, the team is not in good form either. We have seen Vallecano win only one of the last 5 matches. So I would like to consider Valencia as the favorite. I have not seen a better gameplay than Rayo Vallecano for a long time.

The recent performance of Rayo Vallecano is not very good. That is why it would not be wrong to call Valencia the favorite against them. It is not difficult to say that Valencia will win against them very easily. Rayo can return to good form at any time and if that happens, Valencia will not be able to take advantage of it. There are many teams who lose their confidence due to not being in form, which is why not all teams can win. If you observe the performance, Valencia will definitely do better than Rayo in today's match. Valencia's victory against Sevilla was expected, especially after the 2-1 win against Real Madrid a few days earlier, which greatly increased confidence in the team.

[MArsland]

Ancelotti has given his best to Real Madrid since he became their headcoach, and until his declining period, And I guess most of these club has understood his tactical system of play, it now seems he's not doing his job as job as supposed.

Ancelotti game tactics are outdated, there are several reasons why Ancelotti should leave Madrid immediately: he has lost his magic, he is less competitive with modern coaches who implement systems, data analysis, fast transitions, high intensity and implement structured attack patterns. Meanwhile if we look at Ancelotti still relying on player instincts, uncontrolled ego, unclear ambition, attack styles that often collide with each other. Imo when they were slaughtered by Barcelona and Arsenal, it was a strong warning. Young players like Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo and Bellingham need a game framework because it would be a shame if their good qualities were not utilized properly.

For now the golden boot is between this first to players, I don’t see any player coming close soon..
Well Robert can still increase it chance somehow, looks like he’s getting back to scoring goals  again, he wasn’t at some point , that was why Mbappe was able to catch up somehow but that doesn’t mean Mbappe can’t still surpass him  yet Mbappe is already having a one match ban(Lewy also had 2 I think).. Lewandowski can use the chance to add  2 or more goals too.

A nice battle between Lewandowski and Mbappe. Lewandowski had trouble scoring goals for a while, now he is scoring goals, I believe he will open the gap again. Mbappe is suspended for one match, he may even be suspended again in the future or the fact that he was shown a red card for no reason means that he is not going through very good days for me, even a little.

Rayo Vallecano taking advantage of the first half scoring the first goal of the game against Valencia. I wasn't sure whether Rayo would be on top of it here because Valencia literally had a revival in March and April. Without it they would still be in the midst of the relegation zone. But for Rayo this win could be important points at the right time because they have been about destroying their great season so far.This game could give them a last attempt for the last six games to qualify for Europe.

The gap isn't big among all those teams though. Valencia I think is safe no matter if they lose this game, but for Rayo there is still something they could get out of this season. Without these bad games the last month they could still be playing for CL.

It's time for Real Madrid management to think about a new coach for the Real Madrid team besides looking at some new players who can replace their main players when someone is injured in the middle of the season. I quite agree if Real Madrid can bring in a new coach who has a modern pattern in training quality players at Real Madrid next season, because a team like Real Madrid is a team that is known to be strong and has a lot of potential to compete every season. So it is very inappropriate for a team as big as Real Madrid to be weak just because of an old coach.

Indeed it has ended with the fact that Kylian Mbappe got injured in there last game against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. And I believe he is a doubt for there game against Athletic Club but if by any chance he makes it and returns it to play the remaining League games then I think their is alot to play for and fight for the Golden Boot. 

[Jostern]

I think Ancelotti understand the importance of timing and have seen that it is better to leave when he is still seen as a hero rather than when things have gone badly. He has made Real Madrid win trophy for most of the season and going a season without trophy might make him lose some of those admiration he enjoyed. This is the reason he might be considering leaving to ensure he do not spoil his reputation.  I completely understand him and I will support whatever decision he takes.

Ancelloti has won almost every major trophy during his time as a coach and maybe a season without a trophy is not a big deal for his reputation. La Liga still has a chance that they can chase as long as they can make a much better performance because when they face El Clasico they can close the gap on Barcelona even though they will still be one point behind Barcelona.

Barcelona will be more focused on preparing for the semi-finals in the Champions League so the coach will definitely make some rotations and if the results are beyond expectations because they will draw in the next match then this scenario can be used well by Real Madrid so they can chase points in the crucial match when the two meet.

Hamsi Flick is an experienced Coach and he has won the Champions League before and he has won the treble during his time at Bayern Munich, So at this point I know he will have his eye at Winning the treble, I don't think resting players should be an option for him as a manager, he is well experienced to manage his side with the pressure attached to it as well, And the Champions League game will be in two weeks from now so I think there is a lot of time to prepare his teams now, If I was Hamsi Flick i will not rest players mean while I will use all my players for the game against Celta Vigo because Celta is a very big team, and in recent years they have  been a team that have been a tough opponent to Barcelona.

I feel this will be a very tough game for Barcelona, But Barcelona at home I will predict Barca to Win.

[el kaka22]

Zidane would have been epic, imagine him coming back next year, the team is on it's prime and they may not have the injury issues they have this year, maybe get some bench players for defense to make sure they are not this much unprepared for the season as well, they didn't even had proper backup for many positions and had to use players that were out of position, we have seen Camavinga play defense so many times for example, or since Carvajal left, Vasquez was the only right back and whenever he was taken out, someone who was out of position played there.

With Zidane, he would have a chance to try again, with hopefully less injuries and he could literally make them win just like they were expected to, and even with UCL again too. That would make it so much better for Zidanes coaching legend.

[dezoel]

An early game in La Liga between Rayo Vallecano vs Valencia enters in last minutes with after staying into relegation zone for more than half season now Valencia turning table and bring themselves into safe zone. In last 9 games, Valencia have 1 lost 2 draws and 6 wins which make them solid for staying into middle of league table match was well-balanced from start but own goal from Tarrega give lead to Rayo Vallecano, but Sadiq bring Valencia back on level 75th minute.

Rayo Vallecano was good in early half of this season with chances were also high for them to have UEFA competition chance but their poor run bring them down now they are at 9th with 41 points just 2 points difference from CELTA VIGO and Mallorca.

[Woodie]

I really thought with a few games to go in trying to secure their top spot, I thought Barcelona will really be invisible against a team like Celta especially that they play from their home ground and Torres getting the early go thought they will be in cruise control but unfortunately even the massive ball possession of 65%+ could save them...but of course plenty of time to see get back ahead as scores remain 1-1 with 25minutes played.

Inplay prediction Barcelona 3-1 Celta.

[stompix]

Hihi, Celta had one chance with Barcelona, literaly one shot and they scored, the possession shown in the replay was hilarious, it was 76% to 24%, what was initially thought to be the start of a slaughter with an early goal might turn into a complicated situation



Although I give them close to zero chances to succeed, Celta denying Barca a victory on home ground would for sure spark interest in the next games, it will for sure make the derby far more interesting.
Anyhow, odds are still prohibitively low for anything rewarding, even the draw is still only 4x

[execijutiere]

Rayo Vallecano played at home against Valencia.Vallecano left with a draw after leading 1-0 in the first half.Both teams have dreams of finishing at least 7th in the league and we can say that Valencia needs more points.Vallecano has fallen in the standings with the points lost in recent weeks, so it's time for them to recover.
Barcelona host Celta Vigo.Barcelona took the lead through Ferran Torres but conceded after 3 minutes and the score remains 1-1.I don't think Barcelona will make any mistakes but Celta Vigo could spring a surprise.Celta Vigo also need points to stay in the top 7.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Barcelona hosting Celta Vigo today and is a match I believe the visiting team will have to take this game personal since Barcelona played out a draw and something happened that went in favor of Barcelona and the game ended in a draw in the first encounter. This time around I think Celta will be more careful not to allow that mistake happen for Barcelona to be on the lucky side and the host need to win this game because the point need to increase couple with the fact that Madrid are still not going to get over their elimination out of the champions league get off their mind and it will distract them a bit. Barcelona need to win and wait for what will happen next in the Madrid game but this isn't going to be easy since Celta are coming to take their suppose 3pt or let me say they'll have to spoil the party for Barca, so I expect a very difficult one which might end in a draw again, depending on how the host go about business today.

Barcelona is 4 points ahead of Real Madrid. Barcelona could have increased this gap even more. Barcelona failed to win against Real Betis. Barcelona is in a safe place. However, if Barcelona cannot continue its good performance, then they will lose the top spot in the table. Celta Vigo is not a weak opponent. So Barcelona will definitely have to give their full effort to win the match.

Real Madrid has been eliminated from the Champions League. Now Madrid's only target is to win the La Liga title. If Barcelona can continue its good performance, then it will not be possible for Madrid to occupy the top spot in the table. But if Barcelona's performance is irregular, they will be threatened.

Barcelona need to get more points before the start of anotger busy week like the champions league, now Madrid only have to worry about the Copa de rel and the league title especially the league title so it won't be bad if Barcelona are using like 7 points to gap them before things becomes difficult for them. Celta will not let Barcelona continue winning as it is now it looks like the first half is ending in a draw but can Celta hold on for long after the equalizer? I don't feel it will be easy if Celta continue to defend because that's what Barca want to force opposition to fall back to defend while they (Barcelona) continue pressing, for now it will be in the hands of Barcelona to extend the point gap because Madrid are waiting for that little mistake from Barca.

Inplay prediction Barcelona 3-1 Celta.

Well, the score is still Barcelona 1 - 1 Celta Vigo until the first half ended, that means in the next 45 minutes in the second half, Barcelona must really take advantage of all the opportunities they have if they don't want to lose their important points. After watching the first half of the match, I just realized that Lamine Yamal's role is vital, when he plays, everything looks easy for Barcelona. Lamine is currently on the bench, hoping Hansi Flick will play him in the second half.
