La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[RaltcoinsB]

This might not be a significant issue against Getafe, as other players in the same position can fill in. In fact, I see it as quite problematic if Mbappé is unavailable for Real Madrid's match against Barcelona, ​​as his presence is important in such a crucial match. The international break could impact the team, especially if several key players are injured, and Real Madrid are also struggling defensively due to injuries to several key players, which could impact the team's overall performance against a much more evenly matched opponent.

If I had to choose, it would be better for Mbappé to rest against Getafe and focus on using the remaining time to prepare for the match against Juventus and Barcelona.
Mbappé presence is so vital that in a difficult match, his absence will only dull the attack. Without Mbappe, I can even predict attacks will be more predictable because the opponent only needs to contain Vinicius movements.

I agree with you. If he's in a risky situation, perhaps it would be best for him not to play against Getafe. The Champions League match is more important right now. Furthermore, after the Champions League match, they have a crucial match against Barcelona. Mbappé's absence from this crucial match would be a major problem for Real Madrid. Therefore, they might consider resting him for the Getafe match without risking him.

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. As for Barcelona, the break really favoured them as the league are off a week's break due to international duties. It's so bad for Real Madrid that even a starting defender is also injured as well.

It's certainly a problem but I don't think it's that serious, Real Madrid has many very strong players, they can easily replace Mbappe with other strong attackers they have on the bench
It's certainly not nice to have one less starter, but Real Madrid has the strength to manage these problems

Yes, that's right. Real Madrid doesn't have any serious problems when a few of their players suffered injuries. They have many quality substitutes who are ready to give their best performance and even for El Clásico matches. But it all depends on Xabi Alonso as their coach who must be able to harmonize their players. Because Real Madrid will certainly need some changes in their line-up. And it is Xabi's job to formulate this. As for Mbappe's replacement Real Madrid has several attacking players who are ready to replace him. And they have such as Endrick, Rodrygo or even Gonzalo Garcia. It's just that Xabi Alonso has to adjust his tactical planning choices as they have different playing styles. So I have no doubt about Real Madrid's performance if they need to replace some players. And I'm sure Real Madrid will remain optimistic against their rivals because they have a coach who has proven himself capable of delivering the best performance for Real Madrid so far. And I'm sure Real Madrid will take very good care of Mbappe as he has returned to Madrid to meet with the club's medical staff (Source)

Leaving Mbappé out of the Getafe game would be a serious mistake, especially because Real Madrid needs to take advantage of Barcelona's many injured players for the next game and the risk of Barcelona dropping points in the next game. This would give Real Madrid a 5-point lead in the standings, and for the Barcelona game, they would only need a draw to have a 6-point lead.

Getafe cannot be underestimated. This season, they haven't lost at home, and in recent years, when they play at home against Real Madrid, they have managed to create headaches for Real Madrid.

So, I hope the Real Madrid coach plays with Mbappe and all his best players, doesn't focus on the game against Barcelona and the European Champions League, focuses on the next game, after the next game he can focus on the following games

So, I hope the Real Madrid coach plays with Mbappe and all his best players, doesn't focus on the game against Barcelona and the European Champions League, focuses on the next game, after the next game he can focus on the following games

We know that Getafe is not a strong team. Especially in the last four matches, they have not won. They have lost two and drawn two. Even then, this team cannot be underestimated.
Real Madrid is at the top of the table. If they want to keep the top spot, they must continue their winning streak. Their point gap with Barcelona is only 2. If they lose points against Getafe, Madrid may lose the top spot. So Getafe should not be underestimated by Alonso. Alonso must give his full effort to earn full points in this match. And Madrid must play with its best XI. Several of Madrid's defense are out of the squad due to injuries. Now if Mbappe is not kept in the squad, Madrid's overall performance may be weakened.

That could be a good option but I think Mbappe will probably still play in this match although there may be several options where he could start from the bench or not play full to maintain fitness because after facing Getafe it is certain that Madrid must immediately prepare to face Juventus and El Clasico which of course this will drain the stamina of the players.

Some things to consider here are especially for some players in defense and midfield who may still not be able to play because seeing from the current situation Mastantuono although it can be forced but this is still doubtful. Not to mention some players like Huijsen who are definitely absent in this match and there may be Asencio who is in Huijsen's position.
Fortunately, they still have Valverde at rightback as Trent and Carvajal are still unavailable for the match against Getafe.

[DanWalker]

Fortunately, they still have Valverde at rightback as Trent and Carvajal are still unavailable for the match against Getafe.

Valverde is in the squad. And he can play an important role in keeping the midfield stable. But still 4 important defenders of Madrid squad are out of the squad due to injury. Huijsen, Alexander Arnold, Carvajal and Rudiger will miss the match against Getafe.
But Mbappe and Mendy suffered minor injuries. It is not yet known for sure whether these two players will be in the squad for the match against Getafe. Without Mbappe in the squad, Madrid's attack will naturally be weakened. I am waiting to see what strategy Alonso uses to win this match

I still believe Real Madrid can the situation to beat Getafe, but they need the injury played before the El-Classico. The same issue Real Madrid we’re facing last season is the same they are facing this season, injuries again and this might have a huge effect on their season. The medical needs to start doing better, they need to start making this players available.

Just like you said we might Valverde occupying the right back wing for the game against Getafe, at least there are people who can manage the midfield.

You're saying my mind too. I don't know if what we are saying makes sense but I really see no reason or need to risk Mbappe against Getafe when the team still have bigger teams to face in not long time. There is no need for him to participate in the game against Getafe since I believe real Madrid has enough squad depth to handle the match without Mbappe but the game against Juventus and Barca is on another level entirely so losing him on such games would put the team at more risk. I suggest he should rest and recover well and strongly so as to prepare him for those big games.

Real Madrid has a whole bunch of players who can create chances and score goals themselves; it's odd to try to make it look like only Mbappé and Vinny pose the main threat. If we're talking about Getafe, then even without Mbappé and Vinny, Real Madrid should win without a problem (even though Getafe will play like Atlético, with a bus, fouls and time wasting). If Mbappe is fully healthy for the game, then let him play. It seems he has 10 games in a row with goals scored, let him extend the streak.

[Baki202]

The El Classico will always look tough no matter what because both teams are big rivals, Barcelona and Real Madrid matches always look tough even when the key players are not in the match, the injury crisis that happened to Real Madrid last season is about to happen to Barcelona this season, many Barcelona players are injured and some of them are going to miss the El Classico, although some Real Madrid players are also injured, but I think Barcelona own is worse than Real Madrid.

It has become one of the most concentrated games to watch and has been who they are. Aside from the river, when it comes to La Liga, there are two most familiar clubs because even does they don't watch football, when you ask them if they know Barcelona and Real Madrid, they will confirm that they are familiar, and a club like Real Madrid suffers injury cases, and it was too hard for them to manage. And now that Barcelona is suffering from the same problem, coupled with the fact that they are having financial problems, they will eventually find a way out.  

If Real Madrid fails to defeat Barcelona at Satiango Benarbeu, that means Real Madrid players are not serious, this is the perfect time for Real Madrid to exact revenge for what Barcelona did to them last season, I hear some Barcelona fans are complaining about the injury and will use it as a reason for the defeat in the El Classico, but that cannot happen because Real Madrid had the same problem last season and the fans did not complain, I can't wait to watch the match.

that is a good point because now they have their players performing well, so they have the opportunity and what it takes to be able to win the title this season because they were struggling last season, and even if the fans are complaining about the injuries, there is nothing they can do, so the best is for them to accept it and hope the injured players will recover quickly so that they will be able to play better in the league because they won it the lsat time so why are they complaining, they need to do better.

It is true that Real madrid have many players who are capable of scoring goals. Madrid's squad is strong. And there is no doubt that all 11 players in the squad are very talented. But it cannot be denied that madrid's attack is dependent on Mbappe and Vini.
Real Madrid have scored 19 goals in 8 matches in Laliga. Interestingly, Mbappe and Vini have scored 14 goals and  provided 6 assists. Mbappe has scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists and Vini has scored 5 goals and provided  4 assists. So it can be said that madrid's attack is largely dependent on this pair this season. If Vini or Mbappe is out of the squad, it will definitely  affect Madrid's attack.

[M47AK16]

I'm using Transfermarkt as my source for injuries most of the time honestly. And it says there that Yamal, Raphinha and Fermín López are expected to return by October 19-20.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-barcelona/startseite/verein/131

Lewandowski is indeed injured for a longer duration. It says November 18 for now... Olmo will also miss the El Clasico as it seems according to the source.

But having Yamal - Raphinha duo back will surely make Barcelona more competitive in the game. The productivity goes down a lot in their absence. 

Injuries aren't that much set, could get better a few days later or a few days early, you never know. Human body changes from person to person, from age to age, from what you lived, it's all relative. So while transfermarkt does show that they should be back, we are not entirely certain, hence why it says "may" miss the games, probably they won't.

There is a higher chance that we will see both of them play on that game, plus it's a very important game, if it was some low level team then we would probably see them not being put to risk and just rest , at best case sub in late in the game. But in this case it's Real Madrid they are playing so they need these players, and can rest them later after that game, but first they need a win there.

[dezoel]

To be fair, even with missing players, Barcelona really needs to at least get a draw here. I know that it's going to be very tough to get a draw, but Real has some injured players too. Lewandowski situation needs some taking care of, Barcelona has missed him a lot, but at the end of the day we are going to see him not be that great if he keeps being afk.

We should see them not sing him back at the end of this season, Torres is enough for them anyways, because they have him playing most of the time since Lewa is missing many games. Yamal and Raphinha however is a terrible news, if both miss at the same time then I do not see a chance for them to win, it will be very tough to get any points at all out of Real Madrid.

[bitcoin_mining]

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.

This might not be a significant issue against Getafe, as other players in the same position can fill in. In fact, I see it as quite problematic if Mbappé is unavailable for Real Madrid's match against Barcelona, ​​as his presence is important in such a crucial match. The international break could impact the team, especially if several key players are injured, and Real Madrid are also struggling defensively due to injuries to several key players, which could impact the team's overall performance against a much more evenly matched opponent.

Mbappé is Real Madrid's mainstay in the front line and is currently a goal machine for Real Madrid. Of course, Mbappé's absence from the upcoming El Clasico match will be very impactful. However, this has not been confirmed for certain because the injury Mbappé suffered is not a serious injury, so he will not be out for a long time.
For other matches, or against Getafe this weekend, I don't think Real Madrid will struggle, even if several players are tired and absent due to injury. Overall, Real Madrid's strength is far above Getafe's, so even if Xabi Alonso makes several rotations, it won't be difficult for them.

Mbappe is injured but it is not yet confirmed whether he will be able to play against Barcelona, so we think that Mbappe will definitely play in the important match against Barcelona. Mbappe is an important player for Real Madrid at the moment, so if Real Madrid has to play against Barcelona without Mbappe in the El Clasico match, then the chances of scoring goals in that match will be much lower. Several players of Real Madrid are already injured and this is also a big problem for the manager because Barcelona has been performing well recently, although their performance has been bad in one match, they may have forgotten about that performance and are fully focused on the upcoming El Clasico match. If Real Madrid has to play against Barcelona without several important players, then they may have to lose to Barcelona again.

The injury problem is not only in the Real Madrid team, but Barcelona has also been hit by injuries. It is still uncertain how the teams will recover their players before the upcoming El Clasico match. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have important players injured and both teams' attacks have been weakened. Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Rafinha's injuries have made Barcelona relatively weak now, as we saw in their defeats against PSG and Sevilla. On the other hand, Mbappe's injury could be a big problem for Real Madrid, although it is not yet certain.

[LGD2Business]

Barcelona has extended Frenkie de Jong's contract.  De Jong, who is in his seventh season at Barca, will remain here until 2029. It's strange that he's still only 28 years old. He's been playing here for years and is still in his prime. Although he doesn't get as much playing time as he used to, he's an important player in the rotation and contributed to last season's 3 trophies. I think this is a good move. His contract was set to expire next season, so now Barca has closed the door on any potential transfer requests this summer. At least they're in a stronger position. If anyone wants to sign him, they'll have to offer a high transfer fee.

The injury in Barcelona camp is deeper than Real Madrid camp. The thing is that you see the way Real Madrid is looking. They can take down Barcelona quickly than for Barcelona to take them down. Mbape is the only player I can say that he will probably miss this match but we can't say for sure yet since the injury was expected to take at least 3 weeks. I didn't see his impact though in the last El clasico that's why I said this guys can do it without him.

The last time I check, it was Vinicious and Rodrigo that did everything the last time Real Madrid won the Champions League, when he came to Real Madrid last season, he wasn't even helping the match like I was expecting him, too much lose of opportunities, plenty of short of target were wasted, he was very annoying during that time but now he is improve, maybe there is something he could have add to this one if he is available by that time.

Adding three more seasons to his previous deal with Barca shows just how highly the club values him. Rumors also suggest his release clause has been raised to $500 million.

After his injury blow that kept him out for a long time,  he was  asked to go through a pay cut or undergo a surgery which is 50-50 and could stop is career then I think. I'm  not sure if he took any paycut then and at the same time he didn't undergo the surgery,  he mentioned it wasn't  necessary  and it was also agreed with the medical team .

However, in the new contract, he definitely  took the paycut. He's  still a good player though but ever since he came back from injury he hasn't  really regain his form back.It was even at the end  of last season he began picking up  and that took him a while because he flooped earlier when he returned from his injury.
His decision  is a good one and I hope he continues to play better.

His release clause being so high is just a formality. I'm sure that if a team interested in signing him offers Barcelona a price they'll be able to afford, he'll be allowed to sign. The important thing is that he's ready to sign a new contract with Barcelona right now. He's achieved a really good career average with Barcelona. His performances at Barcelona are excellent.
