La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Not your key not your BTC]

For the third position in the standings it is very logical for Villarreal, Atletico Madrid is not so good this season while Villarreal shows its fangs this season, they have managed to grow a very big motivation to compete in the top 3, now the points between Atletico Madrid are the same as Villarreal with full awareness for me Villarreal has the potential to eliminate Atletico Madrid, one game left can be a big hope if their points remain as they are now, Villarreal might see that opportunity seriously.

Even though they're currently tied on points in the standings and Villarreal still have a game in hand, I believe Atletico Madrid will finish third at the end of the season, as they won't let Villarreal take third place. For Villarreal, although if they don't finish third this season, qualifying for next season's Champions League is enough, as their goal is to qualify for the Champions League.

So if he manages to eliminate Atletico Madrid it will all be deserved, although i personally see Atletico Madrid as more aggressive.

Villarreal and Atletico currently have the same points. Both are in 3rd and 4th place in the standings, which is a good position for a Champions League ticket next season. Perhaps in the next few matches, we can see which team will be stronger between the two. Villarreal and Atletico are still required to improve their performance. After all, neither has been dominant this season. In fact, neither will be part of the competition between Madrid and Barcelona.

Between Athletico Madrid and Villarreal I’m still thinking which of them will later finish in the top 3 because right now they are both dragging the position, and both won’t want to loose their position Athletico Madrid should put in more effort so that they will keep maintaining the same spot till ending of the season. We all know if Villarreal get that to that 3rd position, they won’t allowed Athletico Madrid take over anymore.

As for Real Madrid and Barcelona, we still yet to know which of them will lift the trophy giving that Barcelona still need to put in more effort to Real Madrid gap on the league table, before they guarantee us winning the league title this season.

[Antotena]

Diego Simeone has mentioned leaving Atletico Madrid this summer after managing this team for fifteen years, and one of the reasons is because he probably doesn't see a future right now with this team. While he has done as good as he can, and even had periods where he took the team to league title, it's clear that no matter how much the team spends, they are far away from Barcelona and Real Madrid levels and it's tough to do better.

He probably wants to just go to a team where he can finally have some budget that can fight for a title better. This is why I hoped that he would go to Manchester United, but with Carrick doing this great, it seems like that may not be in the plans neither. So I am not sure where he will go next.

If Diego Simeone doesn't leave Atletico Madrid, I'm afraid Atletico will abandoned him sooner or later. There is nothing he got to offer that club again. In those 15 years with the club, he has won just 2 Laliga while Real Madrid and Barcelona share the rest of the trophy. If not that the club is lenient with his performance, he would long has been sack for not doing enough because it will look like they got potential but the manager doesn't have what it take to win it.

I was skeptical about his new contract for 1 year, he should be gone but somehow they managed to keep him but I think it was because there was no better replacement for him that's why they allow him and there is no any improvement of any sort which is why himself is declaring to be leaving the club rather than staying in a place where he has nothing to offer them anymore. It is better he has some good image than leave like others.

After all, neither has been dominant this season. In fact, neither will be part of the competition between Madrid and Barcelona.

Despite the two teams having the same number of points, Villarreal are the stronger team this season. They started the season in La Liga very well but they couldn't keep up the winning streak and as a result they fell behind in points. This season I thought they were a promising team but they failed to keep up the performance. Yesterday's 4-1 win against Espanyol and their impressive performance in the upcoming matches give a good indication.

Atlético Madrid didn't perform so well at the beginning of the tournament but they are gradually improving. They improved their position by winning against Real Betis in the last match but the team is not able to do as well as they did in the previous season even though the expectations were higher for them.

Even though they're currently tied on points in the standings and Villarreal still have a game in hand, I believe Atletico Madrid will finish third at the end of the season, as they won't let Villarreal take third place. For Villarreal, although if they don't finish third this season, qualifying for next season's Champions League is enough, as their goal is to qualify for the Champions League.

For Atletico it is very possible they get that third position finish, they have some levels of consistency with their performance and that is by far really helping them maintain that position with the chances of finishing at the third position by the end of the season, finishing third which means qualifying for the champions league is an achievement they can settle with since they will not get the chance to win the title.

[hyudien]

I think Real Madrid will have no trouble beating Real Sociedad, as Real Madrid clearly has the superior squad quality, especially with Mbappé in top form, who will surely score against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid desperately needs a win to close the gap on Barcelona.

If Madrid doesn't perform like they did against Valencia, I believe they'll easily overcome Sociedad, but if they do, it's not impossible for Sociedad to steal a point, especially since they've performed well in the last five weeks, a tougher opponent than Valencia. Continuing to rely on Mbappe isn't easy either, he undoubtedly one of the most consistent players but he still needs the support of his teammates, consistent support in every match.

It is better he has some good image than leave like others.

I think this can be explained by the fact that there are two giants in the league, Barcelona and Real Madrid, who constantly compete with each other for the title. It is extremely difficult to compete with them, and considering that if Simeone has managed to win the championship during his time as head coach, I believe both the club’s management and the fans truly value that. That is why they try to keep him, hoping that he will be able to repeat that success again.

[Volgastallion]

Atletico Madrid cant find a regular starter team and cant find a really good flow in the play, they are trying all, they are changing players and tactics but the results are still the same, one good game followed for another bad, they need to change this ASAP but the main problem is maybe Simeone is not longer the manager to do it.

Look at the forwards they change between Sorlth Alvarez Griezman Lookman, etc. Every single game.

[Gost ms]

Playing against Real Sociedad at Bernabéu is also not easy because they are also on good run trying to pick UEFA spot while after this game Benfica the biggest challenges as José Mourinho is man to beat right now important challenge for them if they fail to win their games in UEFA Champions League this could be hurt their moral, and they can also face consequences in La Liga as well Barcelona have 1 point lead this is going to be interested in coming 15 rounds.

It's true, you have to be very careful with Real Sociedad, Oryazabal is literally flying , and Real Sociedad's defense is excellent I'd say Madrid isn't playing great football, but they win, at least in La Liga. But in the Champions League, they have to do whatever it takes to score goals They have to win the way to win is to score goals, Mbappé has to sharpen up and score goals; it's that simple Or, well, the gem that came out of Carreras: one good goal and that's it, he kills the game.

Real Sociedad is indeed not an easy opponent, but Real Madrid is still a slight favorite because they are playing at home and besides that, their big motivation is to stay in the title race with Barcelona, ​​so it is indeed necessary for Real Madrid to win 3 points in the match against Real Sociedad later.

I think Real Madrid will have no trouble beating Real Sociedad, as Real Madrid clearly has the superior squad quality, especially with Mbappé in top form, who will surely score against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid desperately needs a win to close the gap on Barcelona.

The next match with Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid. This match will be easily won by Real Madrid. This match will be held at Real Madrid's home ground and Real Madrid's current performance is very good and they are going through a series of wins. Especially we can see that they are gradually able to overcome the weakness of their defense. Although if Real Madrid is able to win then Barcelona will have to lose a match or draw, if that happens then Real Madrid will be able to maintain the top position in the points table.

[bastisisca]

With this result Simeone again has to rearrange their scheme and just try to maintain a position in this zone because for competition it clearly cannot be especially 2 clubs that have a strong probability of winning will be very difficult for them to chase in positions 1 and 2.

Clearly, they've managed the situation strategically and, above all, have recovered from a truly terrible start to the season. Now, tied with Villarreal on 45 points, they can handle the situation very well. However, they can't afford to make any mistakes.

Real Sociedad is indeed not an easy opponent, but Real Madrid is still a slight favorite because they are playing at home and besides that, their big motivation is to stay in the title race with Barcelona, ​​so it is indeed necessary for Real Madrid to win 3 points in the match against Real Sociedad later.

It won't be easy for Real Madrid to get all three points, although I'm not sure Real Sociedad will draw at Real Madrid's home ground. Real Madrid has struggled to establish a formation that better suits their new coach's direction following the departure of Alonso, who during his time at Real Madrid saw many players disrespect him as the team's manager. So, if Real Madrid wants to win easily, the Real Madrid players should show more respect for their coach and be less rebellious when directed by him.

[bastisisca]

Teams like Villarrea, Real Betis and Atletico Madrid are strong enough. But their problem is that they do not manage to do well in a busy schedule. Villarreal has been playing well for a long time. But they have fallen behind because of losing points in three consecutive matches. They got back on track with a 4-1 win against Espanyol.

Villarral played at home against Espanyol. Their overall performance was very organized from the beginning of the match. They secured a 2-0 lead in the first half. And at the beginning of the second half, Pepe and Moleiro scored goals in the 50th and 55th minutes to give Villarreal a 4-0 lead. Espanyol scored their only goal in the 88th minute of the match.

The problem in my opinion is the squad. To play all the matches consistently and at a high level, you need at least two teams, otherwise you simply can't do it.

Is not a question of fatigue or strength, it's a question of the tiredness that builds up from playing so many games.

Diego Simeone has mentioned leaving Atletico Madrid this summer after managing this team for fifteen years, and one of the reasons is because he probably doesn't see a future right now with this team. While he has done as good as he can, and even had periods where he took the team to league title, it's clear that no matter how much the team spends, they are far away from Barcelona and Real Madrid levels and it's tough to do better.

He's been coaching Atletico for quite some time, and it's time to hand over the reins to a new, more modern and creative coach. Atletico Madrid needs a coaching upgrade, although it will certainly be difficult for the new manager to adapt, as the players are already accustomed to Simeone guidance. I believe the transition won't be easy, garnering full support from both Atletico fans and management, as Simeone history with the club has been like a unified whole. Simeone has created the club's ego, glory, ambition and identity, and a new coach will certainly find it difficult to reform all of that.

Normally I would agree, but I have a feeling that Simeone is the reason why they are third best team, without him they may not be this great. He pulled this team from top half of the table type of team to a third place consistently and even win some stuff type of manager.

They had a year with 7th place, 11th place, 10th place, 7th place, 4th place, 4th place, 9th place, 7th place and 3rd place all the way until Simeone took over, those were their last results before he joined and as you can see there is only one time when they were finishing third place. After he took over? They never had a season that was under 3rd, and finished first couple of years. This is why they are doing great with him, and doubt they will get better without him.

There is nothing Atlético Madrid can do when they see how big Barcelona and Real Madrid are. If they want to compete with these two clubs, they either have to spend a lot of money to recruit the best players, or hope that Barcelona and Real Madrid players suffer so many injuries that they cannot perform consistently, allowing Atlético to take advantage of the opportunity.
However, given the current situation, it is realistic to say that Atlético Madrid will find it extremely difficult to win the title, even in the coming seasons, due to the strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid. So if Diego Simeone decides to move to another club in search of better opportunities, it would be the best choice for him.

[slapper]

Sure they can perform well without they key players but lets not neglect the fact that real madrid actually struggled to score in their match against Valencia, The fist half was tough for them and they didn't score until after the 50th minute. They should be able to win real Sociedad based on the fact that they have home advantage. They would definitely win so they can try to catch up with Barcelona.

But imagine, Real Madrid doesn't need to prove anything, they already have everything they need, they just sometimes fail to exploit it.
Real Madrid have had a troubled season, they have played great games and terrible games in a relatively short period.
Just have consistency and contain the sorrows, as you have all noticed, without 3 figures they have shown that they still play well, without fearing anyone.
Real Madrid only need one thing in my opinion, they need to play without too much discussion, making the players work calmly on and off the pitch.

You're right that they have got it all. That is actually what makes this really frustrating to watch. Because when you have that much talent, and you're still grinding out 1-0 wins in the second half against teams that you should be putting away in the first half... Something's broken.

Every guy in that dressing room knows Arbeloa's probably temporary. The Klopp stuff won't stop. So rather than playing for this season they're all basically playing job interviews for next season. Mbappes shoots all the time because he's protecting his numbers. Bellingham's getting trashed from all sides. Meanwhile Endrick's at Lyon scoring almost every other game. The kid they sent away is doing well and the guy they kept is drowning.

And Barcelona? They've lost a single game all season. One. Their academy kids cost nothing and they're outscoring Madrid by half a goal a game.

I want to believe that Madrid can just "lock in" like you said. The defense is truly an elite. They're one point back with momentum. But I've seen enough football to know that when your goalie is reportedly demanding your most expensive midfielder get benched. That's not a team that doesn't get agitated easily. Maybe they win it all out of spite. Madrid's done weirder things. But right now it is more like controlled chaos than anything like calm.

The positive result against Espanyol is a good thing, but not exceptional honestly speaking.
Villareal can't face all the challenges they face with this squad, so i wouldn't see this victory as a positive thing, because if they meet teams with equal or even superior performances, they can't go any further.
The Villareal shows its fangs but at times, not always.
So if he manages to eliminate Atletico Madrid it will all be deserved, although i personally see Atletico Madrid as more aggressive.

I don't know how you have expectations for Villarreal, this season they are very impressive and can enter the top 4 with their own strength and yesterday beating Espanyol should be a good and positive win, and I think it's extraordinary because they can beat them with a score of 4-1, we know that their last 5 games are very bad and there are many defeats but that doesn't mean we shouldn't appreciate the team that was able to beat Espanyol, this win makes Villarreal able to keep competing with Atletico Madrid in the standings.

[Taricoins]

Even though they're currently tied on points in the standings and Villarreal still have a game in hand, I believe Atletico Madrid will finish third at the end of the season, as they won't let Villarreal take third place.

Because of the pain Athletico Madrid has caused me, I don't like calling them consistent, they have been like this for some seasons now but this season is especially terrible, if you think I am lying, check there fixtures including all the competitions they are currently in, from winning to drawing to losing, the one that got to my nerves the most was this Real Betis lose and the Bidoe Glimt and they were playing both matches at home. Just terrible from Diego Simeone

I see people talking about how they're finish, how the club has fallen and how it's the beginning of their downfall, I find it surprising that they're using one season of failure to rate the team. Infact what Madrid needs is a coach that would manage the team very well and handle all the controversies very well. If Madrid can solve the defensive issue then sell a few players causing issues in the dressing room then they'll do better next season, maybe they should consider Kloop or bringing back Zidane.

Zidane is remembered as a manager whose transfer was speculated about for years but never materialized. Klopp, on the other hand, said he was taking a break from football. This will be his second year, and perhaps he misses it and might return to the sport. If he returns to football next year at the helm of Real Madrid, I'm sure many football fans will watch even more enjoyable matches because his technical knowledge is top-notch. He achieved great success with Liverpool, and he has the potential to do even more with Real Madrid. Frankly, I would love to see him at the helm of Real Madrid.

For Villarreal, although if they don't finish third this season, qualifying for next season's Champions League is enough, as their goal is to qualify for the Champions League.

Just terrible from Diego Simeone

There's nothing we can hope for from Atletico Madrid. I don't even bet on them anymore. They always make me lose. Sometimes they play well but when they face weaker teams they always drop points. It's no wonder they only finish third every season. Even if they can finish second or first even if they win, that means Real Madrid and Barcelona are in a slump. Despite Atletico Madrid many poor performances they still retain Diego Simeone as coach. It's fair to say that Atletico and Arsenal are the clubs that respect their coaches the most, they rarely fire coaches despite failing in all competitions.

Athletic Madrid has hopes in the Copa del Rey but their semifinal opponent is Barcelona. Of course, this won't be easy for Atletico especially since Barcelona is enjoying their best performance. But if Atletico Madrid can beat Barcelona, ​​perhaps they have hope of winning a trophy this season as their chances in La Liga are now gone. The La Liga competition is only between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
