La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

• Real Madrid vs Bilbao (over 2.5)

I see from most here a little doubt about the result of this match. But one important thing we must remember, an experienced team like Madrid will not repeat the same mistake several times and in this match I believe the worst result is just a draw.
Looking at the history of previous match results, both teams have equal performance. It's just that Bilbao has a stronger defense. BTTS (Yes) option is a good choice. But I want to try my luck from my prediction if the final result is over 2.5 with a score of 2-1.

Ancelotti's tactical preparation is zero, Bilbao is against Real Madrid, if they lose points in this match, Real Madrid will literally finish the league. Despite Real Madrid's chaotic season, I think they are favorites at home. Over 2.5 seems like a good bet, considering that Bilbao is a team that constantly presses from the wings and Bilbao is also a good team and a goal scorer. This will be a match in which Ancelotti will determine his own fate, and if he loses this match as well, it will be very difficult for him to stay in the team any longer.

The over goal betting option is quite good in this match because both teams have good strength and even in the last few matches both teams have been quite productive in scoring goals.

Regarding the prediction of who will win this match, I think it will be very difficult to predict because Real Madrid is in a slump now after they were eliminated from the Champion League competition and on the other hand Bilbao is also a fairly strong team this season, they really need points to maintain their position in the standings.
So I think this will be a fairly fierce match in La Liga this season, it is also possible for Real Madrid to lose everything in the next match.

Despite Real Madrid recent poor results, I still see Real Madrid as the favorite team to win the match. The match may not be easy for Real Madrid,they won't just win like that, but I have more confidence in Real Madrid winning this match against Bilbao than thinking of Bilbao having good chances of winning it.Currently, both teams' performances seem to be the same, but still, it's Real Madrid that will likely win this match or at least draw. In fact, I believe Real Madrid will hardly give up on the La Liga trophy, despite knowing that only a big stroke of luck can help them win it.Furthermore, it's Real Madrid's home game, which is an advantage for them as they are the host of the game. However, as you have said, if I were to bet, my selected option would be "both teams to score.I think that  option may happen as both good front line.

I don't really want to have any doubts about Real Madrid winning because they will definitely win the upcoming match. I will bet on the players and those who have performed very badly in the past matches. Even though Real have become a very bad team in recent times I will still put them ahead of the odds of winning the La Liga trophy because their past history and analysis of winnings allow me to be more optimistic. I am confident of winning the match against Bilbao because they will be considered the favorite team on the field. Real are the best team against them and have no choice but to win the match to survive.

I thought both teams would score in the Las Palmas - Atletico Madrid game. But there was only one side scoring and that wasn't even Atletico Madrid... 

Simeone has given up on the season as it seems. Their chance was already low for the league title though. But still I would be really mad with the result if I were a fan.

A couple of hours left for Real Madrid to host Athletic Bilbao... I feel like Real Madrid will lose points, what do you say about it?

[Abu-Naim]

Las Palmas' goal in the 90+3rd minute was proof that the league is over for Atletico Madrid this year. If Diego Simione plays with promising young players in the remaining matches, it will be a win for ATM. Because they don't have any other goal in front of them anymore. Even if they collect more points, they have no advantage. This year was a disappointing year for ATM. They lost the match 1-0.

Atletico Madrid is not more a title contender for this season, they have misused all the opportunities they had when Barcelona and Real Madrid were busy playing several competitions and they are only playing in the Laliga only since they get eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout stage; yet they keep losing matches when they are supposed to win to the extent they are a bit far a way from the first position and they now don’t have hope of winning the Laliga title again this season.
From the Laliga table, Barcelona are seven points clear above Real Madrid, and I don’t think they can lose any match or drop points anymore, and even though Madrid is eliminated in the Champions League, they don’t have the quality squad to overtake Barcelona because Hesi Flick’s side will also keep performing better.

Barcelona managed to score an important 3 points by beating their tough rival Celta Vigo 4-3.Celta Vigo started the second half fast in a match that ended 1-1 in the first half. In the 62nd minute, Celta Vigo took a 3-1 lead after Borja Iglesias scored a hattrick and couldn't protect this score for long. 6 minutes after scoring the 3rd goal, the score was balanced.Barcelona scored the last goal with Rapinha from the penalty and got the 3 points with this important goal in the last minutes.It was an important match for both sides, but we saw how much Celta Vigo wanted to finish at least 7th in the league.

In that match, Celta Vigo managed to impress many people with the way they almost lost Barcelona. Unfortunately Celta Vigo could not maintain their lead and had to suffer defeat in the end. Meanwhile, Barcelona doesn't seem like they are playing as calmly as usual. But fortunately Barcelona was still able to win even though it was thanks to a penalty kick opportunity. Without it, it looks like the match will end in a draw. What I think about Barcelona at the moment is that they are trying to protect their first team from injury. Because apart from UCL, we know that Barcelona also has a final match against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. So it is understandable if Barcelona is trying to secure their main players. After that they will also have a semi-final match against Inter Milan in the UCL.

I still remember the Barcelona vs Celta match yesterday and of course in that match there was really something tense because Barcelona was almost defeated by Celta but fortunately Barcelona was able to get a penalty kick at the end of the time and fortunately Raphinha managed to execute the penalty kick well which finally the match was won by Barcelona with a score of 4-3 and of course Raphinha was great because he could be a hero in that match because he scored 2 goals.

in that match I really think it was a very exciting and entertaining match because both teams really competed tightly in that match and of course Celta in my opinion in that match was really unexpected that they would be able to make Barcelona have difficulty winning. and of course the highlight for me was Borja he played very well and made a good hattrick he is really a great player but unfortunately this time Celta was unlucky and of course had to admit that Barcelona was certainly better than him.

but fortunately in that match I bet on Barcelona's victory and I'm sure there must be many friends here who also bet on Barcelona's victory, right?

Celta Vigo was indeed able to play very well in this match. And well, no one could have predicted that this match would be a fierce match. Because usually Barcelona will always be able to win quite well without any significant obstacles when facing teams that are considered mediocre. But Celta Vigo seems to really understand Barcelona's game. so they were able to suppress Barcelona's defense very well. The match almost ended in a draw. Luckily luck is still on Barcelona's side. A penalty kick in extra minutes really saved Barcelona from sharing the points.

And for this match, the majority of us will bet on Barcelona winning. Because who could have thought that Celta Vigo could provide such resistance.

The match that we cannot miss today is the Real Madrid vs Bilbao match. I think Real Madrid will win this match. Because now Real Madrid should be able to focus more on the domestic league after failing in the UCL. And it would be very bad if this team lost again. But with their coach leaving soon, I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid started to falter.

I think Celta Vigo lost because they couldn't keep everyone on the team focused and defend against the opponents, especially when they were under pressure.  Additionally, I saw that when Celta Vigo scored, they lost their great momentum—you know what I mean—and Barcelona quickly took back the game.   

So, once they got the upper hand, they lost control.   Therefore, Celta Vigo lost because they were unable to focus and manage their pressure, which seemed to be the reason for their loss as the Barcelona attack intensified.   That is exactly what I saw.

Real Madrid officially announce starting line up for the match against Celta Vigo, have bad news for Madrid fans after Kylian Mbappe not in starting eleven and his name not at the substitute players after getting injury last match against Arsenal in Champion League.
Carlo Ancelotti tactician today will play without central forward and likely Jude Bellingham will put as nine false for replacing Kylian Mbappe position.
For the left defender, Carlo Ancelotti played Camavinga and the midfielder position filling by Dani Ceballos, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Luca Modric, its important match for Madrid to keep close points with the first standing teams Barcelona after victory last match and both teams recently have 7 points left.

Atletico is just a disgrace. They ruined my multiple bet, despite the fact that in the multiple bet their victory was the most reliable outcome   It is clear that they have lost their chances for the title, but they could at least try for the sake of the fans. To lose to a club that is fighting for survival, I think, is a disgrace in such a situation.
They lost absolutely all the key matches, but why lose games with obvious underdogs?

I think Atletico Madrid are being too kind in giving weak teams a chance to stay in La Liga.
But actually Las Palmas is indeed a weak team that always gives surprises to the top teams. If you remember earlier this season Las Palmas had held a draw when playing against Real Madrid. After that Las Palmas also defeated Barcelona.
That is the reason why sometimes we have to be careful when betting on matches between top teams against teams from the bottom of the standings.

Objectively speaking, it was not worth betting on Atletico since they have already lost everything they could and are just finishing the season. They cannot possibly end up lower than 4th place (and I think even 3rd) so they have no motivation at all. It is no surprise that motivated Las Palmas won. In general, you listed their successful results against big teams, there is nothing surprising in this either, they are newcomers, for them a game with Real or Barcelona is like a game in the Champions League final for ordinary teams.

[LGD2Business]

I think Atletico don't want to finish second in the league. They're giving Las Palmas 3 points to help them stay in the league. With Real Madrid's poor form, they missed the opportunity to overtake them. It looks like the top three places in the league will remain unchanged. Barca will be champions as the best team in the league, Real Madrid will finish second and Atletico will be third.
I'm curious to see how Real Madrid will react against Athletic Bilbao in the evening. If the players don't give everything on the pitch, it will be clear that the season is over in their heads. I don't think Ancelotti can stay in charge of the team either. Even if they win all the remaining games, it's over.

Real Madrid boss expected to leave club at end of month after Copa del Rey final

After Madrid's big defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League, there have been rumors that Ancelotti is going to step down. And it is now almost certain. Ancelotti will probably step down after the Copa del Rey final. Madrid will face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. Madrid have lost both matches against Barcelona by big margins this season. If Madrid lose in the Copa del Rey final too, it will be a big shame for Ancelotti. I would say that it will be an honor for Ancelotti to step down before the Copa del Rey final.

Ancelotti has talked about leaving Real Madrid this season before the terrible defeat against Arsenal happened. However, if Real Madrid loses to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey finals, I won't call it a shame for Ancelotti because he has won many trophies as Real Madrid's coach. The four years he has stayed in Real Madrid as their head coach wasn't all a joke. There are many added trophies to Real Madrid's trophies collection. He alone has won 15 trophies for Real Madrid, making him the most decorated coach in Real Madrid.

Ancelotti should not leave Real Madrid without winning a trophy in his final season it's not going to be a good thing for a coach like him he has hope of winning the Copa del Rey against Barcelona if he can't win the league since Barcelona is ahead and not dropping points but it he fails to win the league and also lose out in the Copa del Rey then it's going to be a big embarrassment to him because he had the opportunity of getting one trophy out of 3 but he lost all. Ancelotti has won different trophies for the Real Madrid team no doubt but it's a very bad thing for a big team like Real Madrid to go a season without lifting a trophy that's what you need to understand not that any one is saying the coach has not done well over the last 4 years since he took over as the Real Madrid coach.

Real Madrid are always under pressure to win trophies, if they spend a season without big wins then such a season will be considered a failure. And although I also consider Ancelotti one of the best coaches of our time, but now it is not him who decides whether to stay at Real Madrid or leave the team. He needs to spend the end of the season in the best way, the Cup and La Liga are two tournaments in which he must try to achieve victory, it will definitely not be easy, but perhaps this is his last chance.

Real Madrid vs Athletic Club

Real Madrid confirmed lineup (4-4-2): Thibaut Courtois (GK), Federico Valverde, Raul Asencio, Antonio Ruediger, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Luka Modric, Daniel Ceballos, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior.

Athletic Club confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Unai Simon (GK), Andoni Gorosabel, Aitor Paredes, Unai Nunez, Adama Boiro, Benat Prados, Mikel Vesga, Alvaro Djalo, Unai Gomez, Alex Berenguer, Gorka Guruzeta.

Real Madrid are ready to host Athletic Club who are currently on fourth place with 57 points and Real Madrid are now seven points away from Barcelona which is a wide gap and also very dangerous for Real Madrid. This match is going to be tough for Real Madrid because they are open it are also fighting for Champions League zone and that alone will make it out for Real Madrid to defeat them but no matter how I still have hope for them despite their opponent performance but let's see the final whistle

Hmmm, that's a serious concern!!!
Killyan Mbappe absence can cause trouble for Ancelotti. Because he is the heart of the attack and against opponents like Athletic Club, he was really needed, but I hope Jude Bellingham will take his place as a false 9. Thus far, this match is really important for the Meringue because only the league and Copa Del Rey are left for them to compete. If the point gap with Barcelona increases further, then it is impossible for Real Madrid to catch up with Barcelona. So this match is a real test for Real Madrid and also for Ancelotti. If they fail like the previous one then maybe Ancelotti can be seen as sacked off.

The rest of the things is that Athletic Club's performance is also not very appreciable. So if Real Madrid plays with full of passion and full force,. So they can get 3 points. But anyway, let's see what happens next til 90 minutes.

The fact that Mbappe is not in the starting lineup is more good news for Real Madrid fans, because recent games show that he and Vinicius are more in each other's way than playing for the overall success of the team. If Mbappe had not been suspended Ancelotti would probably have put Mbappe in the starting lineup, but now Real will have to play like last season, without a clear striker and I think this should help Real win today. Most likely there will not be many goals in this match, because Real is betting on ball control and individual skill of Vinicius, Rodrigo and Bellingham, who can give a goal to partners and score a goal from almost any situation, using their individual skill.

Honestly, I don't feel like Real Madrid is winning today after their big mess against Arsenal with much failure from Ancelotti. Personally, I gave up on having hopes for this team to win any trophies this season, why? Simply because of Ancelotti that couldn't understand all these years that the team needs a striker, both Vinícius junior and Mbapee are playing from the sides and always missing a head striker.

From the beginning of the season, many people like me understood that Ancelotti with his weak strategies can't really do anything good, compared to Barcelona with young players, Flick created a strong team.

I talk don't feel like they will win either if they continue playing like this, I was watching the until 30 minutes and so far it was really boring for me, this is unlike Real Madrid. They're just holding the ball without any threat to the opposition, all the while I watched the game, Real Madrid didn't successfully enter their half.
Ancelotti doesn't have weak strategies it's just you guys that doesn't understand his game. You think it's easy for a coach not to have a definite starting 11 week in and week out just because of one injury here and there? One thing you should understand is that, signing of players isn't in the hands of Ancelotti but the clubs management, Which is basically Perez. You really don't understand the structure of Real Madrid that's why you are so easy pointing fingers at Ancelotti.

[DanWalker]

I thought that after being eliminated from the Champions League, Real Madrid would be desperate for the La Liga title. They would try to dominate La Liga. Because Real Madrid is still far behind Barcelona.

But in today's match, Madrid's performance against Athletic Bilbao was not good. Real Madrid could not score any goals in the first half. Madrid's players did not attack much. If Madrid loses points in this match too, then the gap between Madrid and Barcelona will increase further.

If this match is drawn, the gap between Madrid and Barcelona will be 6 points. Each team will play only 6 more matches. Madrid will not be able to reduce the gap of 6 points in 6 matches.

Performance wise is how good the team plays and of which in this very game they played so well in the first in terms of holding the ball and dictating play. They're lacking in offence that's their major problem in the game. Just like you said, them being kicked out of the Champions League in such a manner and with such number of goals conceded, that should have been enough ginger for them to take every of their games more seriously but in this first half, there was literally no threat from them against Atletico Bilbao, I prefer to see the opponent holding the ball too and Real Madrid doing something dangerous from the counter and not what I'm seeing now.

Madrid has a record of winning by scoring at the last minute. So even though they didn't play well in the first half, I'm still optimistic about Madrid's victory. However, the main reason why Madrid's attack performance is slow today is because Mbappe is not in the squad. Mbappe is now the most important player in Madrid's squad. Madrid's attacks are a bit slow today because of Mbappe's absence.

In the second half, Ancelotti will definitely change his match strategy and Madrid will increase the speed of their attack. In the 10 minutes of the second half, Madrid has already had 4 shots. But none of them were on target. Athletic Bilbao's players are trying to end the match 0-0. So it is now even more difficult for Madrid to score goals.

[Raflesia]

Real Madrid officially announce starting line up for the match against Celta Vigo Bilbao, have bad news for Madrid fans after Kylian Mbappe not in starting eleven and his name not at the substitute players after getting injury last match against Arsenal in Champion League.

Even if Mbappe is not injured, he will not be able to play in this match because he received a red card in the previous match so it is certain that he will miss Bilbao in today's match.

On the other hand, it is undeniable that Mbappe has a problem in his foot and he could be out of action against Barcelona in the final which makes his situation worse but there is no further confirmation on this.
Madrid's match against Bilbao is still ongoing and they still haven't found a good rhythm although it cannot be denied that Madrid are still dominating but they still can't score at the moment. Hopefully, there is a good hope to get 3 points in this match because if they fail again in this match then it will definitely be an advantage for Barcelona and Madrid must say goodbye to the trophy in La Liga this season.
