La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Sim_card]

You are right. After the international break, Real Madrid players may be tired after contributing for their country and some may be injured. Mbappe was unable to play for his country against Iceland due to injury. If he cannot play against Getafe in the next La Liga match, it will be an unexpected situation for Real Madrid. The players are busy with the World Cup qualifiers. Vinícius and Rodrygo may play for their country and if one of them gets injured, it will have a negative impact on Real Madrid and create an advantageous position for Barcelona.

All the players are healthy, and in these leagues, many teams have players playing for their national teams. I haven't checked, but I think Getafe also has quite a few players who play for their national team. And even if there are injuries, Real Madrid has an advantage because their bench is much deeper and better than most La Liga teams. Therefore, they are on more or less equal terms, and if Mbappe returns to Real with an injury, Rodrygo could replace him, especially since he's been on the bench for the last few matches.

Madrid doesn't have proper with their attack because they have several replacements. Where their problem lies is the defense. When one or two defenders are on injury just as it is now, it will make the defense porous. Their midfield isn't that strong too. I hope that their defense wouldn't cause them much harm this season when playing with a strong team.

As happened in the case of Real Madrid last season. The weakness of Real Madrid defense was one of the reasons for their defeat. Along with this, there was a lack of proper cooperation between the players on the field. But in the case of Barcelona ​​​​although there is no lack of cooperation several players are currently in poor form. They need to improve their performance, especially the attacking midfielders who play a leading role in scoring goals.

FC Barcelona: it's official, Frenkie de Jong has made his decision about his future!

FC Barcelona is on the verge of wrapping up a crucial piece of business for its future: the contract extension of Frenkie de Jong. According to information from Fabrizio Romano, the Dutch midfielder has given his verbal agreement to extend his stay until June 2029. The deal is already sealed in every detail, pending only the final administrative steps.

De Jong's current contract, which runs until 2026, was originally due to be renegotiated during the season, but both the Catalan club and the player have accelerated talks in recent weeks.

Having arrived in Barcelona in the summer of 2019 from Ajax Amsterdam, De Jong has become a cornerstone of the Blaugrana midfield. In 267 matches, he has scored 19 goals and provided 24 assists, winning two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, and two Spanish Super Cups. At 28, he is set to commit his long-term future to Barça, embodying a project he has been central to for the past six years.

It will be really nice having Frankie De Jong pen down on a new contract to extend his stay with Barcelona. He is an important asset to the club and in several occasions the club have expressed their willingness to extend his contract. Since verbal agreements are already in place to get hime signed then we should be expecting “here we go”.

If there's an injury risk, I don't think it should be risked against Getafe. There are matches against Juventus and Barcelona after the match. Therefore, Mbappé is needed more in these two challenging matches. He could at least rest him for one match to allow his recovery to progress as quickly as possible, and I think Alonso could play Raul Gonzalez. I think the reserves he has are of good quality and sufficient.

maybe yes, at this point it would be better not to risk hurting Mbappe even more, who is already suffering the pains of hell, and I think that all these players are too stressed and end up getting injured more and more often and never playing, let's hope he recovers soon

[changaa]

There isn't so much to expect from the first leg of the season's El Classico tie because both teams have recorded many injuries recently which I believe will have an impact of the level of competition and entertainment we would hope to witness in that game however I hear some players will likely return for that game so Let's stay hopeful that things go well.

It will certainly be a high-level match because the clubs put a lot of pressure on the two teams, which makes the competition even higher, so regardless of who plays, there will be a high level of competitiveness that will make the match a real spectacle.

Actually Mbappe did not suffer a serious injury, he only sprained his ankle when he was defending the French national team against Azerbaijan and was expected to play for Real Madrid against Getafe but resting Mbappe is also not a bad idea because there are still more important matches, namely in the Champions League and against his arch rival Barcelona so Real Madrid should be able to face Getafe without Mbappe because Getafe performance has not been so good recently so Real Madrid must make good use of it and get full points.

[bitLeap]

I couldn't agree with you less, this injury to Mbappe is definitely going to be a big blow for him in the team and there's no suitable requirement for him at his position for the team. It will surely worry the coach and the club. I don't even know know long he will be out.

Real Madrid have many good attacking players even at world class level like Vinicius, Rodryg, Guler to midfielders like Valverde, Bellingham so that these players can cover the temporary absence of Mbappe well. They even won La Liga title and Champions League title two seasons ago without Mbappe, so if their squad won't have Mbappe in several matches, it won't be big problem for their squad quality and actual performances at all.

To be honest, Gonzalo is the man to replace Mbappé in midfield, but Mbappé effectiveness remains far more crucial for Real Madrid. Like it or not, Mbappé absence leaves a gap. As a consistent goalscorer, Madrid would be at a disadvantage if the injury proves serious. Two of the three upcoming matches are crucial, against Juventus in UCL and Barcelona in La Liga. Therefore Mbappé presence is crucial. However, the match against Getafe should still have a chance to win without him.

[martinom]

The international break can indeed affect the club's situation, especially for players who get injured while defending their country. Losing Mbappe will indeed affect the condition of the team because he is a player who is needed in the attack line. Real Madrid is experiencing problems with injuries to several players, especially defenders, which in the next match will affect the team's overall performance. If Mbappe is absent for so long, perhaps Barcelona will benefit quite a bit when El Clasiko takes place because it will be much easier without Mabeppe present.

Vinícius and Rodrygo may play for their country and if one of them gets injured, it will have a negative impact on Real Madrid and create an advantageous position for Barcelona.

Injuries happen and we can't do anything about it except hope for the best and that it never happens again, but they do happen and at the highest levels of football they happen more and more frequently because they play so many matches and are more stressed on a muscular level than anyone else.

El Clasico always presents a high-tension match. There's no doubt that, despite the injury problems experienced by several players in both teams' first-team squads, this match is always guaranteed to be exciting.
The season is still very long, and I don't think there's any benchmark for the outcome. The most important thing is that both teams maintain consistency. El Clasico matches are merely a matter of prestige for both teams, although they have a significant impact on team mentality, which can be further boosted by winning.

Fortunately, the same situation is also affecting other clubs, including Barcelona. So, after the international break, we can say that all players returning from the international break are bound to be tired. Or they might not be in peak condition. However, that's not the concern; what is worrying is the players returning in poor condition. And this is what every club fears.

What we can hope for is that all players can return unscathed. And fortunately, Real Madrid doesn't immediately face a tough opponent. So in the upcoming match, I think even if Real Madrid doesn't field their best players, they still have the potential to win.

[Smack That Ace]

Mbappe is very important for the team in the next Champions League game against Barcelona, and he does not need to be pursuing a goal scorer to avoid another injury. Moreover, Real Madrid defenders may return for any of the Champions League or against Barcelona. If injuries do not affect Real Madrid this season, I am confident they will win trophies.

My guess is that Xabi alonso will definitely try to keep Mbappe out of the squad in the match against Getafe. Because Mbappe's injury is not too serious. Even then , Alonso will not want to take a big  risk. Therefore, Madrid's opponents in the next matches of this match are quite strong. Madrid will play against strong squads like juventus and Barcelona in the next two matches. If somehow Mbappe is out of the squad due to injury in these two matches, then it will be  very difficult for madrid to win. That is why it is more likely that Mbappe will not be in the starting XI against Getafe.

This is perfectly fair, as any team with a significant number of quality players called up by their country will undoubtedly experience the same situation, and it's not uncommon for players to return injured. This is a common complaint, as it's undeniably a loss for the club that ultimately can't play their injured players.

This also becomes a challenge for coaches, as they must prepare for the worst-case scenario when their players represent their country. They can't forbid it, especially since it's a source of pride for players to be called up to represent their country.

It's fair enough cause it would affect all the strong teams so fans of rival strong teams won't have any excuse to say "this is the reason why my team is not performing well" cause it affects everyone, well clubs with more squad depth and youth team with quality prospects would be at advantage cause some coaches would turn to them as temporary solutions till their first team players are fit enough to start.

 Hopefully, not all players who went to represent their country in the international break would come back injured or with serious injuries, coaches would have to bench some cause of fatigue, although some coaches would be willing to take the risk especially those that's got tougher teams to play against.

I'm sure Real Madrid players will be available before the game against Barcelona, and Mbappe's injury seems not to be the serious one, with rumors out there that he will be fit for the next game against Getafe.  The next league game have to be easy for the Real Madrid squad to win even without Kylian Mbappe, I believe the remaining players have the strength they need to win this, the manager must rest him to make sure he is fully fit for them, if Mbappe's injury gets worse, it will be a big loss for Real Madrid.

Mbappe is very important for the team in the next Champions League game against Barcelona, and he does not need to be pursuing a goal scorer to avoid another injury. Moreover, Real Madrid defenders may return for any of the Champions League or against Barcelona. If injuries do not affect Real Madrid this season, I am confident they will win trophies.

I think Kylian Mbappe Injury is not a serious one, and it just a precaution for further damages. Since joining Real Madrid last season Mbappe have been the most vital player for them, he have been scoring goals for them and making huge impact in big games too. Losing him at this period will be a very big loss for them, not even just the El Classico but they are now toping the table and every game at this period comes with a huge pressure.

I think if he recovers as expected he his only going to miss the Getafe game and will be back for the El Classico so as Carvajal and Alexander Arnold. Madrid have to win the league this season after that total dominance from Barcelona last season. Alonso is doing well and having Mbappe fit will make him even do better.

I don’t know, Mbappe is always needed, Getafe is always a tricky opponent and they can always surprise. I agree that two very important matches are coming up for them, and i give them the advantage against Barcelona, because in my opinion, Barca is out of form, and that’s why they have a good chance to take all three points from el clasico.On the other hand, Juventus is good they’ve found their rhythm but still, Real is the favorite there too. I think they can get the win if they focus on their fast wings and if Xabi Alonso makes the right substitutions. There shouldn’t be any problems for Real Madrid.

If you say so, then it's definitely a news for both the club and the fans because right now they can't afford to sideline a player especially if that player is one of the starters. The injuries to first team players is already getting too much on the goal stoppers and now getting to know that one of the goal scorer is injured will be another blow to the team. But it's good as you came to clearify this. For me, I didn't get the news from the media but from here and that's why I was surprised about it and I'm also getting it here that the injury is not serious but a precaution taken on him.

Moreover, Real Madrid defenders may return for any of the Champions League or against Barcelona. If injuries do not affect Real Madrid this season, I am confident they will win trophies.

The match against Barcelona is quite important, considering it's El Clasico, so they'll have all their players in top condition, and that includes Mbappe, who will be back in top condition after an ankle injury while playing for the French national team against Azerbaijan yesterday. He will most likely appear fit against Getafe.
Mbappe remains a crucial player for Real Madrid in maintaining their position, both in the Champions League and La Liga. Without him, Real Madrid's performance might decline slightly, so his presence is crucial in maintaining Real Madrid's performance.

[KTChampions]

Everyone is talking about Mbappe's problem, but the real problem is Lewandowski - he has a hamstring injury in his left thigh and now he won't be back until mid-November = he will miss the Clasico.
Another injury in the national team games and it looks like Barcelona's infirmary is starting to fill up. It might turn out that the Clasico will be played without Lewandowski and without Yamal and with Rafinha in poor shape. I hope Flick won't park the bus like Xavi? I want a tough game and may the best team win.

[Luzin]

For me, I didn't get the news from the media but from here and that's why I was surprised about it and I'm also getting it here that the injury is not serious but a precaution taken on him.

Many local media outlets have reported on Mbappé. He did experience ankle pain and was withdrawn in the 83rd minute. Afterward, he immediately returned to Spain and underwent a medical examination. The results were positive and the injury wasn't serious, allowing him to play after the international break. He did, however, suffer the injury before joining France, against Villarreal. Mbappé will be ready for the match against Getafe. Furthermore, there's still a five-day break, which will allow Mbappé to regain his physical and mental fitness.

I want a tough game and may the best team win.

Biggest problem in Barcelona at present moment is fact that they have huge injury time, and it is so due to fact that their star striker, Robert Lewandowski, will surely miss El Clasico on October 26th with bad hamstring tear, which will likely keep him out until middle of November. International break caused many injuries, but there is good side to it Lamine Yamal is now completely healthy and is likely to play Clasico, and Raphinha is also healthy and ready despite earlier worries, but other star players such as Dani Olmo, Gavi, and Ter Stegen stay unavailable. This picture places Clasico as huge hard job to coach Hansi Flick who has to find strong way to attack without Lewandowski as fans hope that he will choose to use very exciting and forward moving way other than very keeping back way.
