La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[SmartCharpa]

This is what I think, after all, El Clasico is a match we always look forward to. If both teams have injury problems, especially to key players, what will they show on the field later? Of course, this will be a normal football match that may not present the usual drama, tension and rivalry because the strength that is fielded is not optimal. I don't know if this is because of the busy schedule or the people involved in maintaining the fitness of the players, what is clear is that currently what is on my mind, I quite hate this increasingly busy schedule.

Everyone is excited to see the El Clasico because it is one of the biggest matches in the world. I don't know about others, but the last season's El Clasico isn't as entertaining as every minute of it we've been watching for the last few years. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in every game played last season, it is normal for Barcelona to win every game, but Real Madrid failed to pose the difficult challenge we expected, Real Madrid will take the lead, but everything will change in the next few minutes.

To be honest, most people dislike the players increasingly tight schedules, aside from the new Champions League format, which affected some key players last season, they continue to play for international teams. I expected the El Clasico to become a game where both teams used their full strength to secure the whole points, instead of one opponent struggled with their performance.

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.

Both clubs are really facing some difficulties in their performance due to injury. However, I think Barcelona's own is the worst, while Real Madrid is still better. Raphinha and Yamal are two of the key players for Barcelona, and they are injured, which makes Barcelona's performance even worse than we thought.

The two defeats they face are not a good record. I have come to notice that these injuries are also occurring due to tight schedules of matches; there is much pressure on the players, and if I could remember, Real Madrid faced the same thing last season.

El Classico matches are coming; both clubs will want to make sure things get better before then. I hope they do so before it is too late for them, and if both clubs are doing the matches, they will be interesting.

[Rgram]

Yes, but what does it matter to us? There will never be a player who can even remotely match Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, an incredible dualism that made everything more beautiful. Now that this doesn't exist anymore, we just need to watch the match and know that it's El Clasico.

The rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo really made football feel very special. Rvery El Clasico felt like more than just a match. It was like an avenue for both Messi and Ronaldo to prove to the fans who's more better. Now that they’re gone, it definitely feels different.

But for me, that’ is exactly why I still watch El Clasico, not to compare anyone to them, but to enjoy whatever new story football has to offer. It may not be Messi vs Ronaldo anymore, but it’s still Barcelona vs Real Madrid, which means the tensity will still be very much high.

[Akbarkoe]

Not all star players will be able to play in this El Clasico as effects from matches for their national teams. They might be injured even midly or not have good fitness for playing this big match at start or as substitutions. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are suffered by the international breaks because they are all big clubs and have many star players called for national teams recent days.

Anyway, with any players will be chosen and perform in the El Clasico, it will still surely be a hot match as it is a El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This is indeed a big match in La Liga and is a match that many fans have been waiting for, I think there will be many people who bet on this match especially since they have so many fans all over the world, El Classico will still be a favorite match and worth watching, it's just that for those who understand the current situation of the team with the injured players, this is an unpleasant match, including for me, because they are not at full strength on the green field.

In terms of reputation and popularity, it is very hot, I don't deny it because it is still in the arena of showing off who deserves to be at the top for this season.

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.

It a good move for Barcelona and for him. Frank had find it very difficult in his early life at Barcelona, he had struggled to get playing time and Also battled with injuries too but since Hansi flick took over he has been a very vital player in the team and also the captain so it a good one for him.

Funny how time flies, I could vividly remember just like yesterday when Barcelona announced his signing and it seven years already. I hope he enjoys him remaining years at the club. Congratulations to him.

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.

Mbappé is reportedly ready to play when Madrid face Getafe. I don't think Mbappé's injury is serious, so he'll be ready to play in the upcoming El Clasico. Looking at Lamine Yamal, he's also reportedly ready to play when Barcelona plays Girona. So, the two stars, Lamine Yamal and Mbappé, are likely ready to play for their respective teams in the first El Clasico of the season.

Therefore, there's nothing to worry about, as both teams will be ready to put on an exciting performance in the upcoming match. However, right now, I don't think the teams' focus is on El Clasico, as they'll face another team first, so they'll be thinking about their strategy to win in Week 9 of La Liga this season.

I'm curious about Barcelona's performance in their previous match, as they were defeated by a big scoreline by Sevilla, leading some to suggest that Barcelona is experiencing instability in their performance on the pitch.

[Furious 7]

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.

Judging by the news over the past few days, he's likely available for Madrid's match against Getafe in a few days. It's up to Xabi to decide whether he'll rest Mbappé further, as Madrid have two more major matches ahead of them, which can be physically draining, especially if they're not yet fully fit.

There's still at least two weeks left before the Barcelona match, so there shouldn't be any issues for Madrid or Mbappé, as he'll be available. However, it's important to consider the possibility of him being forced to play against Getafe or Juventus. Unforeseen circumstances could arise, although the hope is that key players like Mbappé will be fine.

I don't like the narrative this people are pulling, it's good thing to be ready for any important match but Mbape need rest. For two months, the guy was the best man of the match in Laliga, he is right now highest goal scorer, if he is coming back to maintain his place in the table and Real Madrid condition then I will understand the language they are trying to make it looks like he is okay but that guy isn't yet fully recover, even if his fine he can't play full time.

El clasico is one the matches that are been used for some trophy, Mbape is going to be there for sure to have his fair cut or disappointment. I'm more concern about how he is going to play back to them, the last two El clasico was one of the worst I have seen Mbape played but he was able to remain cool. I think Xabi is planing for half match time for Mbape by next week so he can have good rest time and come back and play good games for his club..

Barcelona president, Joan Laporta is happy with the progress of the club in past months atleast since handling the management of the club to Hansi Flick, there have been presence of rapid development. Barcelona will continue to fight to explore and win games without having to proof themselves with difficulties, they know exactly the route to follow if they must obtain a winning.

Barcelona now targets their key men and looking to stretch hands for new contracts. It's a gradual process for Barcelona towards their players, they landed another new contracts for Frankie De Jong. Do you think he's happy playing for Barcelona? Oh yes because this was a player heavily linked to play for the elite EPL side, Manchester United in previous years, he decline the offer and even decided to take a pay cut just to retain his spot in Barcelona.

Both team eventually will find there way around the next el clasico, only that the best team will just have the win or if it happens to favour any of them, we will consider them the better side for this particular game. Real Madrid have their key players present and informed ao their expectations is back high, giving them more support as advantage than their opponents.

Both have good players injured, but I think Barcelona is in much bigger trouble since their match revolves a lot more around Yamal and Rafinha is a very big key player in the right side.

Even if Mbappe is injured, Real Madrid still have Vinicius Junior and many other world class strikers players on the bench. I hope Endrick can get a few minutes because he's just inexistent in the last games, and I think he has a oportunity to show that he can be as important as Mbappe for the team.

Barcelona should also be considered strong by Real Madrid, despite several key players being injured. Because Barcelona can perform well with their current squad, and their own excellent substitutes, their strength doesn't immediately deteriorate when key players are injured. However, Barcelona's performance against Sevilla was truly unexpected, as no one predicted a Sevilla victory before the match. However, I believe this El Clasico will be very different for each team, as Real Madrid's performance against Barcelona was less than impressive last season.

If Mbappe is absent, Endrick might not be the one to replace him, but I'd prefer Bellingham to fill in for Mbappe temporarily. As for wingers, of course, Vinic and Rodrygo are still Madrid's mainstays, having made excellent contributions to date.

I don't fully trust Endrick, despite his skill, but his ego control is still very high, and this is likely why Alonso rarely plays him full time.

Uhm he is still super young but like you said , someone should temper him and make him realize he must deliver every minute he has the chance and prove he deserve to wear that Madrid jersey because if not , I'm sure he will be tempted to leave and many teams will want him + he is quite massive so teams from EPL might snatch him instantly.

There are numerous injuries to top players at both clubs, and this is certainly detrimental to both sides. However, El Clasico will continue, and this match will always be a tough and high-tension one. It's not just about winning points and top spot, but also about pride and a long-standing rivalry.

By the way, regarding Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​there's something interesting about the La Liga president's response to matches outside of Spain, such as Barcelona vs. Villarreal, which will be played outside the continent. Meanwhile, the La Liga president responded to the question of whether Real Madrid would also do the same.

Madrid have a lot of talented young players so it is a bit difficult to make a decision on which one to play, for me personally Rather than putting these players on the bench, it would be better to loan them to other clubs to gain more playing experience. We also understand that Madrid is not the typical team that usually brings in talented young players I mean, they prefer to bring in players with a star label.

By the way if we look at the betting market for the Real Madrid vs Barcelona match it seems that Real Madrid is still the favorite despite injury problems in the squad, yeah maybe because they play at home. I personally can't predict who will win, I prefer to monitor until 30 minutes of the match starting.

He rarely plays because there are many big names in the team. If you were Alonso and had Mbappe, Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Gonzalo, Arda Guller, and many more would you put Endrick? He can't show his name because there are many other options and very few possibilities. It would be better if he was lent to another big team like PSG that already showed interest, but he like Real Madrid even without minutes

I think Alonso will not choose Endrick as an alternative to Mbappé because he is like a blunt knife and I do not trust him. Gonzalo García and Bellingham have not been in the best form this season and it is uncertain how well they will play in the next matches. Vinícius and Mbappé have been playing well this season so if Mbappé is absent, it is for Alonso to choose the best alternative. Vinícius has scored 5 goals and assisted 4 in 8 matches and is an important forward for the match. If Bellingham is played in the next match against Getafe, it may not be a good decision because he has been in a very poor form this season.

Yes, that quite reasonable, perhaps that's why Xabi Alonso rarely plays him because Real Madrid already has many star players they can fully rely on. The only time Alonso uses him is when Alonso is trying to rotate his players and he is used for less difficult matches, such as against weak teams, so his main players can rest and recover their strength.
If I were Endrick, it would be better to join another top team that gives him the opportunity to play more than staying at Real Madrid but only warming the bench.

If I were Alonso, I will play Gonzalo Garcia instead of Endrick. It is better you try someone who you know can deliver but may not have been dong that in recent games, than someone who you are not sure to do anything. However, remember only Alonso sees and know which player is doing better during training sections. Training sections play a huge role in selecting players. If during the training section Endrick is in a more better state I am very sure Alonso will start him in that game against Getafe.
