La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[KTChampions]

After 8 rounds, Barcelona are leading La Liga teams in the first place followed by Real Madrid. Interestingly in October, there will be a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid which is the best chance for every team to catch and advance.
What's a bit funny is that game will come after Barcelona's match against Bayern Munich in Champions League

  Meetings between Barcelona and Bayern very rarely end in anything other than a terrible way for Barcelona. It will be interesting to see if Bayern can continue the tradition this year. But no matter how this game ends in the Clasico, the formal advantage will be on Barcelona's side, as Real only needs a win, while Barcelona will be happy even with a draw to maintain their 3-point advantage.

But if you really want to be bolder, I don't think it's wrong when applying a 4-3-3 scheme but the position is slightly changed where Mbappe is moved to his ideal position and Vini is placed more as a targetman if you really want to try variations because after all, by looking at the current conditions, although Mbappe and Vini's performance is still quite good, there is a little less than Mbappe when he is a targetman because he is a striker who is a runner type on the side of the field.

This does not mean that this replaces the whole but this only slightly changes the scheme so I think if it is possible this is still very doable for Ancelotti but until now even though there have been several matches that did not match expectations but it seems that Ancelotti is still very satisfied with the conditions where 2 strikers or 3 strikers where Mbappe's placement is forward.

If one or two players were injured then maybe the Real Madrid management would not have worried about this matter but most of the starting eleven players are injured which is definitely a concern for any team. Real Madrid's bench XI is good enough, but if six or seven players are given a chance to make the regular XI from the bench at once, it is unlikely to do well there. Real Madrid have a much stronger squad this season than the team that won the Champions League trophy last season but luck has not helped them here so even after building such a strong squad they are now thinking about which players to play in which positions and who will be allowed to play. All this is due to the injury problems of some key players.

It is true that in the end the reserve players are also very good, it's just that the attack power and chemistry will definitely slow down a bit in this case which makes this a new transition that Ancelotti really has to think about and this is the aftermath of them not trying to improve more when bringing in new players, especially for defence and attack.

Now Carvajal, Brahim, Ceballos and Alaba are players who will certainly not recover this month and they are faced with several big matches including against Dortmund in the Champions League and Barcelona in La Liga which certainly provides a condition that will certainly be very difficult for them to face.
Ancelotti must think of how to overcome this with good results because after all these 2 matches are very important for their continuity in the movement in the standings.

I finally see someone who speak what Real Madrid fans need to read. Mbape can't be Ronaldo, and perhaps there will never be another Mbape in PSG or perhaps not anytime soon. Will Mbape ever be like Ronaldo, the way he is playing this season, I'm not sure but maybe in the future if he changes and do some improvements. There is too much competition in that club right now and there is no way it will be easy for him to be there yet as long as others are fighting for the same thing.

Will Mbappe be another Ronaldo, No he wouldn’t be another Ronaldo as I don’t see anyone been such a person just like I view there wouldn’t be a player that can match Messi’s legacy in Barcelona. But will Mbappe be a great player for Real Madrid, I can say with the start he is had, yes I see him doing great things at Real Madrid from winning trophies to accumulating individual awards up to the prestigious one which is the ballon D’Or. I am amazed though as people think he hasn’t started well, no player can just come to a team as huge as Real Madrid, been played out of position and do anything other than he is doing right now. Mbappe has five league goals the most of any player in Real Madrid squad currently so he is doing good to me, a little more time we would see him in his latter state

[Ryu_Ar1]

But it is undeniable that this plan slightly makes the situation the same as last season when the players could not be in the squad due to some problems such as injuries so this indirectly makes conditions on each line have a gap.
We know the main problem in Madrid is actually not their performance on the field but indeed the problem of the hurricane of injuries that always comes in every season and Ancelotti still tries to force it with the existing squad even though if we reflect on each season it is actually quite vulnerable to players due to injuries, especially in defense.

Because of his experience and ability to formulate the best strategy for the team, Ancelotti is always confident in his squad. Player injuries can certainly make it difficult for him to make quick choices in the main line-up, but Ancelotti doesn't seem to be complaining about that. Real Madrid has several young talents that can be utilized, Barcelona has implemented this over the last few seasons instead of always bringing in expensive new players.

Basically all players have a risk of injury every season, it's just that some players are lower because their fitness is not good. Players who are over 30 years old tend to get injured more easily than younger players, but of course this is not something that is certain. Real Madrid can bring in some players if they need them, but for the time being they are still quite capable of doing everything well.

Indeed, in this case we do not need to doubt Ancelotti because seeing from his achievements that he has in terms of trophies and experience it has proven that he is one of the good decisions and believes in players of course it is also a good effort from Ancelotti but in the end some decisions about this trust clearly pose a little risk even though it cannot be denied that he can always provide solutions in each season.

The players in Madrid are actually not constrained by age problems when they are injured but seeing what happens, I highlight it because of the very busy schedule that is owned even though we know that it is a risk for a big club but in the end of course there must be an effort to provide a solution in this case and I think increasing the player's power is an important thing to do because after all the problem of rotation in the conditions of their schedule which is quite busy because they participate in several competitions that are very important can be overcome with a good rotation backup so that the players are not too compressed and not exhausted every week because the risk of injury can also occur due to fatigue.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich game is not in  La Liga, and it will not affect them in La Liga. The only game that is capable of affecting Barcelona or increasing the chances of them maintain there position in La Liga is the game that they will play against Sevilla. The game willl be able to determine that, even though I know that Barcelona has the highest chance of winning the gam, but still that game will be able to get them more 6 points and with that they will be able to maintain there position even if they lost against Real Madrid. But that for mean they will get 6 points in Sevilla

Funny how we want to make comparisons too often amongst this players but we forget that in as much as there are records that are always kept that are usually kept over the years and we see that when a player gets a performance that supersedes such it feels like they broke a record but for me i look at it in a very different perspective and that is in the fact that these players aren't in same era as they play with almost varying play condition which i believe affects their performance and the kind of record they set over the years so its always different but if they are able to break a historic football record, its applaudable but doesn't make them any equal or better than the former as they aren't in same era neither are they playing with same playin conditions.

I dare say no about Mbappe who will imitate Ronaldo in his achievements, it is a difficult thing for Mbappe, judging by how Mbappe has played and competed so far it is very far from how Ronaldo was at the same age as Mbappe at this time, regarding the Ballon Do'r it is possible that he has the opportunity to get it, because yes almost several star players are able to get the trophy, but keep in mind that if you think it will be the same as Ronaldo I say no, just like Messi will not be like him.

Well, it is very incongruous to compare the players of different generations, because any player has his path, his play, his records. But Mbappe for sure has unbelievable potential and is actually among the brightest rookies in the present world soccer. Even if the youngster does not turn into Ronaldo Mk. II, Mbappe can chart out his own path, particularly if he keeps growing and getting better and adding more titles, and other accolades such as the Ballon d’Or.

Playing for Real Madrid has been one of the highlights and yes there is a lot expect out of Martinez now but it must be remembered that a lot of players take time to come to terms with pressure and change of a big club. Looking at his stats and contribution so far one can be confident that Mbappe has started well. An extra year as you pointed out he will achieve even better results in real Madrid and change the course of the club. His legacy will be built inside the club as the role and his contribution that he brought to that club, which might not be similar to what Ronaldo have done but it will be a great one.

I wish all Real Madrid fans can understand this so that they can reduce the too much hype on Mbappe, and to also reduce their expectations on him because he is not Ronaldo and it will take him some time to adapt to the whole thing in the team so as to expect the best from him.
The left wing in Madrid is very competitive, Vini Jr played that wing and he is one of the best left wingers in the world, it will not be easy for Mbappe to take over his place that is why Ancelotti decided to be playing Mbappe as a striker which has been a very hard task for him because it is not his natural position.

Barcelona under Hensi Flick is doing great, they outshine Real Madrid this season with their amazing performances, the young boys were very promising, and they are playing to win the Laliga as well even though it is too early and experience matters a lot in the run. Injury is the main problem Madrid is facing right now, and if it continue, there will be problem along the line because there is no squad depth.

In fact, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same problem in terms of injuries, Ancelotti and Hansi Flick have not been able to field their best squad from the start of the season. Regarding Mbappe, I think it's just a matter of time, and it must be admitted that it is not easy to play in a different position from the main position. In his last season at PSG, Luis Enrique often played Mbappe as a center forward, it was proven that the player was able to complete his duties well. Mbappe only needs a little time to explore the role while adapting to the team, sooner or later he will be sharp again as usual. Barcelona should not be arrogant at this time, they must remain vigilant in every match, because they are only 3 points behind Real Madrid. Hansi Flick managed to boost Barcelona's performance quickly, he did his job well even though he did not have a good squad like Real Madrid. Real Madrid's unstable performance should be an advantage for Barcelona to continue to lead the standings.

But this game is special for so many reasons. Rest assured that Lewandowski will try everything to make this game end in Barcelona's favor and I think it's also a clash between the youngsters like Musiala and Yamal. Both players are in great shape and they are brave and want to push the game into their favor. I don't see a dominant victory for Bayern coming. I am not even sure whether Bayern will dominate in regards to ball possession like they usually do. The defense has shown some weaknesses and this could go another way this time.

If Barcelona gets a can opener done not too late in the game, damn I want to see how Bayern is going t counter that.

But it's going to be interesting weeks for Barcelona as El Claisco isn't too far away either. it could be two great weeks or two disappointing weeks for them.

The only game that is capable of affecting Barcelona or increasing the chances of them maintain there position in La Liga is the game that they will play against Sevilla.

But that for mean they will get 6 points in Sevilla

Yeah playing against sevilla is their main priority at the moment though Bayern game is also a top priority for them but that won't be in Laliga , if they win Sevilla in their next game then they will be maintaining their point towards realmadrid game . The elclassico match also matters but they only need draw to stay ahead of rsealmadrid and maintain their point as the first position on the table, I think after the Elclassico, Barcelona  game will highly be more of winning if they don't relax in any game both in laliga and UCL unlike RM who's wil be facing  Liverpool in UCL after facing Borussia Dortmund before the Elclassico... though laliga shouldn't be more of a problem for them too if they tend to  improve their game.

Yeah, 2 consecutive close matches for Barcelona is a high tension match. In fact, this club has also experienced very bitter results with both opposing clubs.

especially for the opponents: Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Look at the match schedule, so tight and high tension:



Maybe the result of the first match will greatly affect the second match. Hansi Flick must make his players play more calmly and consistently as well as usual. Both are top clubs, we cannot still predict who will win.

I agree with you and we say this is based on what we see from some of the matches with Real Madrid obviously it can't be compared with Ronaldo, but yeah Mbappe has the opportunity to reach any record if he can increase what he has. Talking about the ability of course Mbappe has it but his creativity has not reached the same level, maybe he needs the right partner to make it happen. like Messi who can achieve anything when he has the right partner but when he moved to another club he could not do much.

Hmm, well Barcelona's upcoming fixtures will be quite hard. But looking at their current morals, they are absolutely dominating their class. Hansi flick have made it so well that they all emphasize the UCL fixture. If Hansi Flick's tact tactics are seen, then the biggest weakness of Barcelona that Barcelona often did in UCL is lack of confidence, so Hansi Flick built that first. Anyway, we will see what happens in the match, whether Bayern Munich really brings back its traditions or admits defeat. Before the UCL fixture Bayern Munich, there is another match that is from La Liga, and that is Selivia. Barcelona will try to bow down Seville to maintain the point and after that is El Clasico and in my opinion one of tge most important matches of the league, i.e., the race to the title. Real Madrid will try hard to win despite Barcelona's willingness to gladly accept a draw.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Currently the teams have very good conditions to be the best, but it must be noted that Madrid, despite being a great team, can have some flaws, they lose or draw when they shouldn't, I think Ancelotti is sometimes making a mistake when it comes to bringing on players who can define the game, this is something that will always go the right way so as not to suffer in the 80th minute onwards, because that's always what happens, so Ancelotti with Madrid has the habit of always winning at the last minute and that's something I don't like.

Vini is doing his job perfectly and Rodrigo making it impossible for Mbappe to play their wings. With time Mbappe will become what he was brought into the club for which is to support the club in scoring endless goals.

That's what we're looking for. Personally, I think that things will always go in favour of a team that wants everything. If a player is making it impossible for another to perform, he has to accept it and stick to what the coach says. Otherwise, it's difficult for them to understand each other. I like the way Ancelotti does things. He has a great team and up until now he's managing them very well. At the end of the day , the one who has to benefit from everything is the club and that's what Mbappé is for.

After the international break, La Liga will return with their 10th week. Actually I don't see any big matches in this 10th week, because the clubs that will compete each tend to have easy opponents for big clubs.

One thing that caught my attention was the match between Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid. On paper the away team is indeed more favored, but they are in trouble that continues to come to them. On the other hand, Celta Vigo is also not a club that can be defeated easily, maybe statistically they are not better than Real Madrid, but that doesn't mean they can't do anything against this La Liga giant.

It is true that the match in Week 10 looks like it will be a little easier for us to bet because the strong teams will compete against weak teams. Yes, Real Madrid is a team that will definitely be the favorite team to win that match because Real Madrid's strength is definitely above Celta. In that match, it seems like I personally want to bet on Real Madrid winning and I'm sure Mbappe will score a goal in that match because now many Real Madrid players are injured. I predict that match will be 3-1 for Real Madrid to win.

As the host, Celta will of course fight with the maximum to win the match and what is certain is that Celta does not want to be embarrassed at home. and in Celta's last match against Real Madrid, I remember that Celta was beaten by Real Madrid last season with a score of 4-0 and of course, in the Celta match against Real Madrid, many people would definitely bet on Real Madrid winning.

but yes, it's possible that in the later match Celta will make a surprise and of course Ancelotti also has to be alert because of course Gonzalez will make his best strategy and I also remember when Celta played against Atletico Madrid, even though Celta lost, Celta was superior in terms of possession of the ball in that match. Yes, it looks like Ancelotti now has to be careful when playing against Celta.

Yes, it looks like Ancelotti now has to be careful when playing against Celta.

Yes Week 10 match is interesting for betting because strong teams play weaker ones. Real Madrid has big advantage over Celta. I think Real Madrid will win especially with Mbappe scoring. But Celta wants to do well at home and can not want to lose badly again like last season 4-0 loss.
Celta showed strength against Atletico Madrid controlling the ball despite losing. Real Madrid coach Ancelotti should be careful. Celta coach Gonzalez has plans. Celta might surprise us making match exciting.

I think on this journey Mbappe needs time to repay Madrid fans who expect more from him, it will not be easy but he can definitely just need time especially since he came from a league that had no pressure now he goes to a big team that pressure will definitely come to him to improve his quality because in every pressure there will be many things that will improve and I think that pressure will be able to be passed by Mbappe over time because the Real Madrid team really supports his arrival they can trust Mbappe.

They are Mbappe and also Vini they are still young and I think they need more closeness so that their appearance on the field is more classy because Vini can give more opportunities for Mbappe and I think their deadly duet will shine but right now there will be many obstacles because of the little pressure and I think in the middle of the season they will be more fierce and I am sure of that.

[len01]

This week will have some interesting matches that look profitable but could actually turn out to be a surprise.

• Celta vs Madrid
• Atletico Madrid vs Leganes
• Barcelona vs Sevilla

Maybe in the match between Barcelona against Sevilla and ATM against Leganes there will be no surprises because ATM and Barcelona will appear at home. And on the one hand, the opponents faced by these two favorite teams are not strong teams. So it is easy for Barcelona and ATM to get full points in the upcoming match.

But in the Madrid game, it's a bit difficult to predict because Vinicius looks injured and I haven't heard whether he will feature in the game. But I think it is likely that Ancelotti will hold Vinic to rest and appear in the UCL. Because after playing against Celta, after that Madrid must play against Dortmund in the UCL. So Ancelotti prefers to maintain Vinic physical condition so that he can perform optimally in the UCL.

On the other hand, Celta Vigo is also not a club that can be defeated easily, maybe statistically they are not better than Real Madrid, but that doesn't mean they can't do anything against this La Liga giant.

Real Madrid will aim at this match with Celta Vigo for three points to prepare for an El Clásico match that will be hosted on 27 October. Beating Celta Vigo convincingly will be a good preparation of Real Madrid before the El Clásico and they will be the host. A win is enough for Real Madrid too, if they can not get it convincingly, because maintaining current gap with Barcelona before the El Clásico is helpful for Real Madrid for their plan to take over a first position from Barcelona in coming match days.

Celta Vigo won't be easily defeated but I believe that Real Madrid will complete their task well. They don't need to win big, 3 points from Celta Vigo is their ultimate goal for this match.
