La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

But this is too superficial if we want to discuss Mbappe's performance in the last few months. He has scored some penalties included in those 8 goals, which is fine, but Real Madrid needs him to score goals apart from penalties. That is what he is known for. He scores when the opponents expect it the least. The numbers aren't bad, but this is like looking at the numbers when a striker scored 5 goals in 1 game and then doesn't score the next 4 games. He then averages 1 goal per game, but is it good for the team? I doubt it. He doesn't show up enough in the important games and now that you mention these numbers, where does Real Madrid need him to score the most? In the Champions League, but in that competition he rarely scores. I think 1 goal so far and this is the reason why they are where they are in the table.

Mbappe still needs time to become the player expected and I see a lack of teamwork which makes him a little bit difficult to score and even though in some previous games he missed too many chances to score.
Real Madrid is experiencing a player crisis due to injuries so it does affect the entire team but slowly they are starting to recover and now only one point is left from Barcelona because Real Madrid still has one game left that they have not played. Blaming Mbappe for not being able to score goals is also not right, because there are times when players will go through difficult times, plus the team is in an unstable condition and we hope they can continue to improve for the next match.

Is it a lack of team work or a lack of ability to work as a team? Those are two different pairs of shoes. This is not Real Madrid from 5-7 years ago when Real Madrid was packed with world class midfielders and players like Kroos who had tremendous precision in their passing and cold play the decisive one into the right place so the striker could use full speed and be in the perfect position to finish the attack.

I think Real Madrid wants to play like a real team, but they haven't yet found out how they complement each other and in my opinion they are short of world class midfielders. Modric is too old although he can still play a great game, that's not the point. But compare this to the times when they had Modric and Kroos, that was insane.

They were already talking about giving Flick a lifetime contract, but everyone who knows the Spanish press now also knows what the headlines will be these days and that is going to be quite the opposite of what they said a month ago.

I know that time will come where media will start speaking against anyone they praised for their performance, because time will come where any coach will have bad time in their coaching career despite the good players in their squad, and same thing is now happening to Barcelona because I see that they have given Real Madrid a chance to overtake them in the Laliga table because I am sure Ancelloti will make sure his team do their best to win all their next coming games because this is an opportunity for them to take the lead because they have one outstanding match, and if they win all, they will lead by two points.

Barcelona giving Real Madrid is kind of strange because Barcelona looked so strong while Real Madrid is still not looking strong, but they somehow collect their points along the way. They are not playing the best and most attractive football, but in contrast to Barcelona they are winning their games, which is what's important in the end.

Ancelotti has been very good during bad times when his team didn't play their best, but yet successfully. This is something I believe Barcelona has to add to their portfolio so to say. Barcelona can either play beautiful football and win big time, or they play bad and lose. Real Madrid instead knows very well how to play bad and win and this can make the difference at the end of the season.

[HajiBagi]

Barca now have to end their bad run because Real Madrid have closed the gap. They haven't won 3 games in a row in the league, they can't let it go to 4. There is the example of Manchester City, they can't stop the bad run. Barca have to start again with this game to avoid wasting a perfect start to the season. The bookmakers have given good odds for Barca against Mallorca. I think this should be taken advantage of. Except for last season, Barca has always managed to win against Mallorca in recent years. In my country local bookmaker have given odds of 1.35 for Barca win, global bookmakers have much higher odds.

If Barcelona loses this match against Mallorca that means Barcelona is not good as we all think, from the beginning of the league when Barcelona was playing well and Real Madrid is struggling to win games many people thought that Barcelona would win the league title, during the El Clasico match when Barcelona defeat Real Madrid many people are happy that Barcelona is back and some Barcelona players made a statement that they should just go and win the league title not knowing that taking the league title is not something easily as they think.

Real Madrid may not be in good shape but winning the League when Real Madrid is still in the league is very difficult, Carlo Ancelotti said that There was a season when Barcelona defeated Real Madrid home and away in El Clasico and Real Madrid won the league title and that is what is about to happen this season because Real Madrid has already close the tap between them and Barcelona and Real Madrid have one match to play against Valencia and Real Madrid will win the match because Real Madrid is a team that doesn't miss the opportunity they have, Barcelona should not make any mistake again if not they will be surprised seeing Real Madrid winning the title this season.

True, Barcelona are playing well, they attack quite a lot, but they have started to score less, and Real are completely focused on the result, the main thing for them is to get points in every match and after it seemed that Barcelona's advantage was too big to change anything, Real showed how they can fix everything. Now everything is in Real's hands, because they have a game in hand, but their next game will be away from home against Athletic Bilbao, it will not be an easy match, in which they also need to get 3 points.

[MusaMohamed]

I think Real Madrid wants to play like a real team, but they haven't yet found out how they complement each other and in my opinion they are short of world class midfielders. Modric is too old although he can still play a great game, that's not the point. But compare this to the times when they had Modric and Kroos, that was insane.

Real Madrid tried to prepare for replacements of Casemiro, Kroos and Modric and they succeeded with replacement of Casemiro with Tchouameni and Camavinga, but they have failed with replacements for Kroos and Modric. Valverde is a good midfielder but he is different than Kroos and Modric, and the retirement of Kroos last summer actually caused big problem in Real Madrid's midfield area.

It will take Real Madrid some more seasons and their players, current and new ones, to gradually replace Kroos and Camavinga. Even last season, they won Champions League is big surprise that helps to reduce fear of replacements of Modric, but they had Kroos in the last season. This season, Kroos left, Modric is counting down very last matches in his career, Real Madrid started to feel more impacts from these legendary midfielders and their retirement. Injuries of young star players actually affect Real Madrid in this season.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I partially differ from what you say. For starters, there is already a third party in play for the league, Atletico Madrid, who are only 2 points behind Barca, and as you say, we will have to see how the pending Madrid-Valencia match goes, because if Madrid win it, they would now be leaders, but I think there is still a month to go before it is played.

It seems to me that last year it was the same, wasn't it? Barcelona did well at the beginning and lost the league at the end. If it wasn't last year, it was the year before.

That's right, it could be that in the future Atletico Madrid will get the advantage to take over the top of the standings, when we focus too much on Barcelona and Real Madrid. But what is certain is that the top three teams seem to continue to compete until the end of the season. It is still difficult to guess who will finish in first place, injury problems, a tight match schedule, will always be the main challenge. Real Madrid benefits because they have one postponed match, on paper the match will help them overtake Barcelona. Of course, all of that is just an initial prediction, and everything can change very quickly, at a glance the three teams have the same big chance for now.

If I'm honest, I'd rather Atlético de Madrid win the league this year or at least be in a position to win it until the end. I just checked and in the last 20 years 18 leagues have been won by either Barcelona or Madrid, and only two have been won by Atletico Madrid. A bit of variety for the title contenders doesn't hurt. Before that and in the early 2000s still won the title Valencia, which is not at all nowadays, and Deportivo de la Coruña, nowadays in the second division, so it all seems that the league is a matter of two and a third very occasionally.

I think for this season Atlético de Madrid is quite realistic to win the title as long as Atlético de Madrid can be consistent and take advantage of Barcelona and Real Madrid's mistakes when they are down, as we have seen throughout this season if Real Madrid and Barcelona cannot maintain their consistent performance then because of that if Atlético de Madrid can continue to maintain consistency then it is very possible for them to win La Liga like they did in the 2020-2021 season.

Yes, in these two decades, the majority of Laliga trophies were won by Barcelona and Real Madrid. This is because both teams have very high quality players. So I personally am not surprised if these two teams are always able to compete for the Laliga trophy. But even so, it feels a little boring if for example only Real Madrid and Barcelona are always champions in Laliga. This also gives the impression that Laliga is not very competitive. So if, for example, this season Atletico Madrid becomes champion, I think that would be a very good thing. Because in the past few seasons Atletico Madrid has always finished in 3rd place in Laliga. So if, for example, this season Atletico Madrid is able to become champions in Laliga, I think this will be a very extraordinary thing.

But if we look at Atletico Madrid's current performance, I don't think they can compete with Barcelona or Real Madrid. So I personally think it will be a little difficult for Atletico Madrid to get to the top of the Laliga standings this season. Although the difference in points between Atletico and the top of the standings, namely Barcelona, ​​is not too far at the moment. However, I think it will still be a little difficult for Atletico Madrid to shift Barcelona's position from the top of the Laliga standings. But if for example Barcelona and Real Madrid's performance declines, I think Atletico Madrid might have a slight chance of becoming champions in Laliga. But I think this is very difficult to happen. Remembering that Barcelona and Real Madrid are big teams that have a great way to rise from adversity.

The problem is the level of consistency of Atlético Madrid, we also have to see because Atlético Madrid can still be defeated by other teams in La Liga this season, but if from now on Atlético Madrid can continue to win and not experience defeat again in the upcoming matches, of course Atlético Madrid can have the opportunity to occupy first place and even win La Liga this season if Barcelona and Real Madrid do not improve in the near future or at least when the transfer market reopens early next year.

Inconsistent performance the favorite winning team Real Madrid and Barcelona give advantage for Atletico Madrid keep in the La Liga race winning behind few points left raising the top standing. Currently, Atletico Madrid have two points remaining from Barcelona and advantage if keep consistent performance in this season have opportunity for winning La Liga trophy after longer time dominance by both teams only Madrid or Barcelona.

Upcoming match, looks not difficult match for Atletico Madrid facing Sevilla and waiting inconsistent performance of Barcelona have opportunity break the top place awhile, Madrid have one postponed match and not reschedule yet will give opportunity for Atletico Madrid break to the first place if can win several matches later and Barcelona still have inconsistent performance.

Barcelona start of the season was above all to win the trophy but now the situation is a little doubtful because the points difference with Madrid is a pressure for all Barcelona players especially Hansi Flick. Barcelona journey cycle seems to be repeating itself and there is great motivation on Madrid side to start their journey if they are able to continue to consistently win 3 points.

Injuries of young star players actually affect Real Madrid in this season.

The vacuum that Kroos left is still there, and there is no player in Real Madrid that can fill up that space. This is also the problem Madrid is facing this season together with the multiple of injuries they had. Despite all these challenges, Madrid was able to struggle and meet up with Barcelona that was ahead of them initially. I believe Ancelotti is in a search of a world class player that will be able to hold the midfield perfectly like Kroos did in the past.

After Madrid and Barcelona have dropped key points in some of their matches, of course that it provides an equal chance for Atletico Madrid to be title contenders this season, so far we see that Barcelona, Madrid and atletico are competing closely to dominate the top of the La Liga standings and the three are only separated by a very small point difference at the moment, Atletico have great potential to win the La Liga title if they can maintain their current consistency, as so far they have a strong squad with the likes of Griezmann, Alvarez and Sorloth being a threat in opponents defend line, but their main problem so far has been consistency, so if simeone will have to solve that problem if they want to compete with Barcelona and Madrid until the end of the season.

Simeone have no target for race title because he was realize that Atletico Madrid is hard to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid as title contender so all he have to do is attempts to bringing Atletico Madrid to performing well for each matches and he don't want to thinking about race title and indeed this season Atletico Madrid has spend a lot of money to bought the players to strengthen their squad which mostly they bought the strikers

I think Atletico Madrid has successfull transfer because the new players such as Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth can performing well and speaking about Atletico Madrid opponent this weekend they will fight against Sevilla and i think possibly Atletico Madrid can win from this match considering Sevilla performance this season is unstable

You are actually right if time is not taken ATM is going to occupy the first position in the La Liga table but the problem now is all of them are ( Madrid, Barcelona and ATM)  are almost playing same thing i mean they are not even consistent in wining their matches, they will win today tomorrow or next they will lose or draw and it does not make sense but i strongly believe that this trophy is between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Real Madrid is at the verge of leading the table now and this will happen if only and only if they win their outstanding match and i want to believe or say that this opportunity can not pass them by the way i am seeing, it is not like i am certain about it though just my instinct and one thing i have noticed is that Real Madrid is playing like they are not complete or they can not do well without Vinicious which is very bad.

Mallorca will be hosting Barcelona tonight with the visitors hoping to redeem themselves after losing to Las Palmas few days back, that game would have given them a better point gap with Real Madrid getting closer. Mallorca has been doing extremely well since the beginning of this campaign with a 2-1 win against Valencia, that would keep Barcelona on their toes because the host are not in any way going to mess around like they (Barcelona) did against Palmas. Mallorca are here for business and if care is not taken it can turn out to be another point loss for Barcelona. Being the favorite doesn't mean they (Barcelona) will feel relaxed or underrate their opponent, they need to get all 3pt to keep the title hope alive but this game could end in a draw from the way the host played out last time but let's wait to see how Flick's men control the show.

I am sure Barcelona will go all out to win this match, which is between Mallorca vs Barcelona. I saw the news that Lamine Yamal and Marc Casado will be included in Barcelona's lineup for this upcoming match, and there is also news that Ronald Araujo has returned to full training in the last few days, on the other hand their goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen is still unavailable, as well as Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, and Ansu Fati. So, i think this match will be won by Barcelona by issuing all the abilities to the maximum, because i am sure Barcelona don't want to leave this opportunity to add to their points, even so the victory is not so easy, there could be a fierce resistance from Mallorca, especially since they are the hosts.

Despite losing their previous match and allowing other strong league contenders like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid close the gap on the table, I think Barcelona are very strong contenders just that they need to put in more effort to be sure the win the league. I don't see the possibility of Atletico Madrid winning the league it's normal for them to try as much as possible to maintain the top 3 or 4 but winning the league still remains between Barcelona and Real Madrid, well anything is possible let's see if Simeone would suprise us this season. However Barcelona would be playing against Mallorca today as the visiting team, they lost their previous match so I don't think they'll want to lose this one as well, especially now that their rivals have closed the gap, the threw points is so important to Barcelona and I know they'll do everything possible to get it against Mallorca.

Actually Atletico Madrid with the quality of its players can win the trophy this season, unfortunately when meeting small teams they always lose points but when playing against big teams they always perform well. If you look at their two competitors this season, namely Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico must be able to take advantage of this opportunity to win the title. Real Madrid has many injured players, and Barcelona is not mature enough in other words their mentality has not been tested at this time even in the last three matches they have not been able to win.

So Atletico Madrid could be the champion this season especially if you look at Atletico Madrid's squad, Atletico's player depth is very good and their attackers are all top. At Atletico Madrid Alvarez really showed all his creativity, this is very different if at Man City it is not very visible because of his limited playing minutes. If Atletico Madrid can maintain its consistency until the end of the season, this will be a sweet memory for Diego Simeone and Griezman who may have entered their final season, at least they can present one title for Atletico Madrid.

As long as Lamine Yamal is absent Hansi Flick must remain vigilant with the team performance will be unstable. Based on the picture it will be very interesting where the same 34 points from 15 games, Hansi Flick first season with Xavi points with Barcelona last season which resulted in him being sacked. Coach Hansi Flick is just at a crossroads waiting for Yamal to return. Things can still be improved but remember that Hansi Flick tactics are starting to be solvable by the opponent.

But this is too superficial if we want to discuss Mbappe's performance in the last few months. He has scored some penalties included in those 8 goals, which is fine, but Real Madrid needs him to score goals apart from penalties. That is what he is known for. He scores when the opponents expect it the least. The numbers aren't bad, but this is like looking at the numbers when a striker scored 5 goals in 1 game and then doesn't score the next 4 games. He then averages 1 goal per game, but is it good for the team? I doubt it. He doesn't show up enough in the important games and now that you mention these numbers, where does Real Madrid need him to score the most? In the Champions League, but in that competition he rarely scores. I think 1 goal so far and this is the reason why they are where they are in the table.

The problem here is just that Kylian Mbappe  has not been able to live up to the expectations of the Madrid fans who are looking up to the french man to give more than 100% performance whenever he is playing for Madrid, since his arrival at Madrid, he has missed more chances than he has converted for the club and the fans are not quite happy with his performance, especially now that their hench Man, Vinicius Jnr is out injured, and the fact that most of the goals that Mbappe has scored from the penalty spot is close to that which he has converted during open play is another cause for concern for the fans which also reduces the credibility of the player.
