La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

Just two days ago, Atletico madrid won 4-0 against barcelona. Everyone had high expectations from atletico madrid today because they  were able to win by dominating  against a strong team like Barcelona. But we saw a terrible performance today.

Rayo vallecano managed to score two goals in the first half. In the second half , we were waiting for madrid's comeback. But Atletico Madrid could not score any goals in the second half either. Instead, they  conceded one more goal. As a result,  Atletico madrid was able to secure a big victory in the match by 3-0. I would say this is a  shameful result for Atletico madrid.

The way Atletico Madrid behave sometimes, you will think they are such a team that you can't use to play. Look at what they played against Vallecano, even one goal they didn't score but this same people score 4 goals against Barcelona that went viral. Does that means they cheated their ways to win that match like Barcelona fans were complaining or they just go lucky that Barcelona has one player down by read card and couldn't play 10 players.

It's better they win Barcelona here in Laliga and not do well in Copa del Rey but they have decided to switch roles in this league. Fun fact about the match they played today, Villarreal and Real Madrid are yet to played their match, that means if they both win their match Atletico Madrid doesn't not stand the chance of staying second and third place again on the table, even  the fourth place is becoming a problem in this case because of how they loss.

Valencia are in a bit more comfortable position after Levante win. They played the counter attack football well and won with 2 nice goals. Mallorca are losing to Betis now as well. There's a serious battle in the relegation zone.

It looks like Oviedo and Levante are running out of chances but it's still unclear who the third team will be. There are a lot of candidates. Rayo surprisingly beat Atletico and managed to move up a bit. There are 7 teams that are very close to each other. It's a lot like last season. The third relegated team was decided in the final week, 6 teams were very close.

I don't think if Someone Simeone is more concerned of any other league or competition, except for the chase of the Copa de Rey. For now he doesn't have any hope for any other competitions because chasing them will automatically be a waste of time and even tend to make the team lose focus, so the only way to solve this problem is to focus more on winning the Copa de Rey, and I think this is what he is trying to achieve for this season. Nevertheless, he also needs to qualify for the champions league next season and if the team fails to perform very well, they will definitely going to lose the spot of the champions league of next season.

Even if he’s more focused on the Copa Del Rey this season, that isn’t enough reason for his team to lost with three goals to none to a team in the Relegation zone this season!

Atletico Madrid need to be consistent in all competitions this season even if they don’t have hope to win any of them, simeone should definitely think of improving the team performance in other competitions especially Laliga if not he might not even qualify for the Champions league next season.

Atlético Madrid suffered a heavy defeat away from home, losing 3–0 to Rayo Vallecano.

Just three days ago, Atlético had dismantled Barcelona at home, but the team we watched tonight looked completely different.

It was truly an unbelievable loss. I don’t think anyone expected them to lose and certainly not by such a big margin.

Maybe they are focusing more on their performance on the Copa Del Rey so that they can remain at full strength in that league, however they want a trophy this season too, their hopes in the Premier League La Liga don't have a big chance because there are so many strong competitors who are focusing on the league, so the closest hope they can maximize is the Copa Del Rey, this is a logical reason in my opinion why they lost to Rayo after slaughtering Barcelona 4-0, and maybe they also won't show all their strength so Barcelona can read that. match in the second leg later.

Real Madrid's great victory against Real Sociedad has boosted their confidence and performance. Currently, they have been able to capture Barcelona's position in the La Liga point table, and Real Madrid will have to become stronger to maintain their top position. However, since the gap between the two teams is now two points, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the most competitive. If Barcelona fails to win against Girona, then this season will definitely be challenging for them, and their position will change. We saw that Barcelona lost badly against Atletico Madrid in the last match, if they have the same performance, then the chances are very low against Girona. Therefore, if Barcelona has to capture Real Madrid's position again, it is very important for them to collect full points.

It was really a sound victory yesterday night by real madrid because I never thought they were strong enough to comfortably beat real sociedad in the manner they did, this shows a massive improvement from them, and it's really commendable, because picking form in this time of the season is very important, since it's the defining moment that they can win or lose the title race.
As you have rightfully said, they are now leading the league table by two points, so Barcelona really needs to win their game against girona as you have said already, in other to returns back to the top, so anything other than winning will be completely unacceptable, especially now that real madrid are ahead in the league table.

Right now their most of their fans are really angry with their team, due to their performance at atletico madrid, so winning this game against girona convincingly is the only way they can win back the support of their fateful fans.

From what I've read, Arbeloa hasn't really implemented much in the form of tactics. He's just taken all the structure Alonso tried to force on them away. And apparently the dressing room was an absolute shambles under Alonso's. Players not showing up to video sessions, Bellingham checked out and the whole thing fell apart. So Arbeloa's solution is basically "do whatever you want lads" which works when you've got Mbappe scoring like 38 goals in 31 games in this season across the board. That's just genuinely insane numbers by the way.

But I've seen this before yeah? The "just be brilliant individually" approach always does have a shelf life. Five wins in a row looks great, bu then you are faced with the fact that they might soon hit the wall, and there is no plan B.

Also, nobody's talking about the off pitch stuff. Barca literally lodged an official complaint about refereeing to the Spanish FA on the same day that Madrid won.

They lack stability for quite a while now. That loss was a big hit. The issue for them is that they know already that they are not playing for the title, but now that they lose these rather easy points, it could actually become an issue when it comes to UCL qualification. They now didn't for three consecutive games and it looks like this downtrend may continue. Missing that top 3 spot would be devastating for them.

Atletico Madrid need to be consistent in all competitions this season even if they don’t have hope to win any of them, simeone should definitely think of improving the team performance in other competitions especially Laliga if not he might not even qualify for the Champions league next season.

Well I think Atletico Madrid may still get to qualify for the champions league next season, they have been of great performances and this one game alone will not be the only reason to see them as they can not qualify for the champions league next season, they have been consistent with the performance that gives them that position where they are now so all they need is more of the performance to make up for this which has made them looked they are doing lesser.

Real Madrid performance was exceptional yesterday. Vini was able to score two penalties which he won for himself. It seems he's gradually picking form. Arbeloa is on seven matches unbeaten and if Real Madrid continues winning their upcoming matches, they might be lucky to overtake Barcelona.

Currently, Real Madrid is on the first position until Barcelona play their own match tomorrow against Girona and get all three points. What if Barcelona lose or draw the match.

Well the  previous performance of Real Madrid is  absolutely outstanding like they fully dominated the entire match. Honestly guys this results are clearly indicate us that Real Madrid is getting better under the management of Arbeloa. Initially when Arbeloa came up here to Real Madrid he was not too good like his performance level were to strong but now he is undefeated and making 10/01 performance in every matche. I think if he continues like this then definitely they can regain their strength with a strong capacity.....

Real Madrid have partially came up to the top spot and now all eye on Barcelona if they won then probably they will rise to the top spot again but if they failed then apparently Real Madrid will be happy to claimed the top spot. Anyway let's see what happens next. Does Barcelona bring up a better results or not.

Qualifying for the champions League is not going to be a big problem for Atletico Madrid because they are in a solid position already and not time will stop them from making it to the top 4 unless they end up not winning any of their league games again till the end of the season which is not possible. They lost today which wasn't expected but they can win their next game to salvage the situation and still maintain their position in the league but above all manager should try to build the team in a way that they won't only succeed in winning the big teams but fine it hard to defeat the underdogs.

I blamed Simeone in this game match, I expected him to encourage his players to performed well just as they did against Barcelona, but the way he behaved sometimes is discouraging. How could a team that scored Barcelona 4-0 concede 3-0 goals to a team that is struggling at the bottom of the table or has he lost confidence  challenging for the top in the standing?

Barcelona is behind Real Madrid with two points, and they will face Girona tomorrow so they need to win for them to get to the top, because Real Madrid is doing very well now to fight back to the mistakes they have made before.

Athletico Madrid always get the opportunity to qualify to champion league every season because they are performing better and after real madrid and Barcelona in the laliga the next good team is Athletico Madrid and I usually get the believe that they will qualify to next ucl season the only problem is that they can't achieve the trophy with how they are playing when he comes to big matches is always difficult for them to succeed in the game.

They have miss the league title already, they will just finished in top four in the league competition and qualify for the ucl next season. there game they play in the Copa Del Rey thy needs to perform more better in the next seconds leg in the camp nou, because with how am seeing the players of Barcelona have the believe that they will qualify to the final  for the competition. Let see how the second leg will be since some of there players will be back fully for the second leg and will like to  perform better to get the opportunity to score many goals.
