La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Furious 7]

Villarreal is indeed more favored to win against Cadiz. but they also had to come up with a strategy that Cadiz really couldn't resist.
not because Cadiz is playing badly this season. but sometimes Villarreal also has inconsistent play. The last 2 matches in the league did not give good results for Villarreal. they were also held to a draw by Sevilla. although more favored, I hope Villarreal does not lose the motivation to win.

But in these 2 matches we can also see who their opponents are.
They narrowly lost to Betis who in fact in the past 2 seasons are a troublesome club in La Liga and the draw against Sevilla even though Sevilla's performance has decreased but they are still a big team.
This time the opportunity came quite well for Villarreal because indeed this could be a turning point for them to bounce back after two unsatisfactory results.

Barcelona is being hit by many injured players, no half-hearted five players have to miss some time in La Liga and the Champions League. the scenario you say, it's not going to happen. because Memphis Depay also had to miss out with a hamstring injury during an international match.

Quoting from the club's official website, apparently Depay and De Jong were also injured. In addition, Araujo, Kounde and Bellerin also suffered injuries so they all cannot be included in the squad against Mallorca.

Team news
The Dutch duo of Frenkie de Jong and Memphis both picked up hamstring problems in the game with Denmark. But it’s in defence where things are looking particularly messy. Ronald Araujo noted pain in an adductor in the first minute of Uruguay’s friendly with Iran and has required surgery, while Jules Kounde returned from the French camp with an Achilles tendon issue. And to make matters worse, right-back Héctor Bellerín hurt his calf during training back in Barcelona. Source

Even though Barcelona's injury storm after the International break has cost the club, but I don't think they will be short of players in the match against Mallorca. Barcelona remains the favorite in that match with many other quality players. The problem is, can Barcelona keep their defense from conceding in this match?

It should be noted, Villarreal is not Real Valladolid and the quality of Villarreal is still very tough than Real Valladolid. Cadiz victory over Valladolid was a stroke of luck as both teams have both performed poorly this season. It is difficult for Cadiz to extend their winning streak even though they act as hosts, Villarreal who performed well in La Liga and the Europa Conference League became a big obstacle for Cadiz to get points at home.

it would be difficult for Cadiz to get a win. this season Cadiz is not much different from last season. last season he survived relegation. but to be able to compete with other teams and maintain to stay in the league competition. I think Cadiz has to fight harder.
Villarreal had the ability last season, as well as this season. although not the favorites to win, Villarreal performed quite well in collecting points. he became one of the forces in La Liga.

this will be the 7th match for both teams and cadiz has only won 1 time, seeing from that there is a small chance for cadiz to win from villareal (although the match will be held at Cadiz's home). Unai Emery will definitely prepare the best strategy to deal with Cadiz.

That's right. Barcelona has a litmus test this month. I expect them to arrive at the clásico more or less level with Real Madrid. They are now two points behind and I don't think that in the next two matchdays they will lose their games and Real Madrid will win both, although if they maintain that gap or even lose points to Madrid, they will have the added pressure of arriving at the clásico with a greater need to win and with the disadvantage of playing at Madrid's ground. For the sake of the spectacle I hope they play decently in the games this October.

There are 9 match waiting for Barcelona in October, and this schedule will leave the players really short of rest and physical recovery. So October is sure to be a grueling month for Barcelona and its players. Here's the full schedule in October:

Dam, so tightly packed. 9 matches are scheduled within one month. Definitely going to see some hipcup there in matches where the main lineup from the squad has to be benched cause of injury. Especially lot of big names in that list like Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich as well as others not easy to push like Valencia, Villarreal. If I was Xavi, have to priory here between Champion League matches and La Liga matches. Can't eat all the cakes for Barcelona here.

Against Mallorca still not an obstacle but problems may occur when they play Inter and Madrid later.
At the moment there are some of their players who are rumored to be injured which should take at least 2 months to fully recover and obviously this could destabilize them, although there are many players who can replace as a permanent option when losing the first team obviously this is not very good.

Barcelona has pique even this guy is not good enough for now caused by pique was also too old for barcelona but i do believe this guy will able to replace the position of kounde. Barcelona have some players that have not faced injury. The problem is defensive player of barcelona may not so impressive like when this club was playing with all of main players in the club. So many players got injury which is good for the club. Remember that barcelona will face real madrid at the middle of this month.

this will be the 7th match for both teams and cadiz has only won 1 time, seeing from that there is a small chance for cadiz to win from villareal (although the match will be held at Cadiz's home). Unai Emery will definitely prepare the best strategy to deal with Cadiz.

Cadiz have been a very weak team this season and are still in the relegation group so far, so it's clear that Villarreal won't be so pressured to face Cadiz at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla which is home to Cadiz's side. The winning bet will definitely be on Villarreal because the comparison of Villarreal's performance with Cadiz this season is very different and it's true that this 7th match will have more potential to be won by Villarreal.

The situation of Cadiz in laliga is reminding me of the situation of Liecester City in England who is sitting at the bottom of the league. Cadiz is better because they got a win, unlike Liecester who is like Elche with only 1 point. It is demoralising to say. But Cadiz is still unlucky because they cannot steal 1 point from Villarreal let alone a whole 3 points. Supringly, the first half is ending and the score is still goaless in the match. But the winning odds are with  Villarreal to win.

[Tumanggor]

what happened to villareal, the first half is about to end but the score is still 0-0

both ball possession was almost balanced, it was clear that Cadiz was playing defensively. if it continues like this, many people predict will be wrong. maybe the final result is a draw

Villareal excelled in a bit of possession of the ball. They made seven shots on goal while Cadiz only three. The player's strength statistics sometimes do not provide a guarantee of victory, the team that has a strong mentality and works hard sometimes he wins. If you look at the first half matches Cadiz piled up players in their own area. They seemed to take advantage of the counterattack to try to score. Many lower-tier teams use this strategy and can withstand the draw of strong teams.

The performance of Cadiz in the game has been poor because they have made just one goal attempt since the start of the game till this very moment but they have had an excellent defense so far that's why Villarreal still find it difficult to penetrate them and score a goal. In less then 15minutes the game will be over and Villarreal will be disappointed because they gave all their best but Cadiz's defense was too good to let them get a win, good game for the home side for holding Villarreal down till this time they didn't play well but getting a draw wil increase the motivation of the team.

I am very surprise not because Cadiz is about to get a draw from Villareal, I am surprised why Cadiz will just prepare and train for a match only to come for a draw. Did they come with the idea that draw is better than lose? Atleast they would have made some efforts to get a goal, having a draw will not help to lift them off from the bottom. They will still be in the bottom region even after getting a draw.

Losing Kounde and Araujo slightly weakened Barcelona defense, as these two players have proven capable of defending well at the back. Xavi can still fill the space left by Kounde and Araujo by installing a duo of Christensen and Eric Garcia, Gerard Pique is also ready to be played by Xavi because his condition is very fit.
Barcelona will continue to apply an attacking strategy even though the back line must be strengthened by substitutes, Barcelona players will try to control the midfield to lock up Mallorca players in their defensive areas. There is nothing to worry about in this match, because the quality of Barcelona is still above Mallorca.

It's normal to happend if there are weaker teams against strong teams usually they will playing more defense because it will be suicided if weaker teams playing attacking against them and this might happend for Cadiz vs Villarreal today that they will playing with more defensive to ensure they will not conceded much goals in this match so that's why Cadiz not good for ball possessions and 1 point is reasonable result because at least Cadiz didn't lose but indeed this result is dissapointing me because i thought Villarreal will easily can win the match

The match has ended and Cadiz succeeded in claiming a vital point that has made a difference in their position. Getting a draw from this match is a big win for Cadiz because Villareal has all the quality players that are needed to win this match. They defended very well and succeeded in stopping them from scoring. Yellow Submarine must improve in their performance if they want to compete in any of the European competitions. They have drawn two of their last matches and this is not a good performance.

Xavi can still fill the space left by Kounde and Araujo by installing a duo of Christensen and Eric Garcia, Gerard Pique is also ready to be played by Xavi because his condition is very fit.

Injuries are this is normally the effect of every international break because most national matches are very physical. I have been expecting to see the former Chelsea player Christensen get more opportunities to play and this would be a golden opportunity indeed. Pique has not been at his best this period but his experience would be a plus. I still feel that the weak link in the defense if these players are featured would be Pique.

Villarreal is a strong enough team and Cadiz is getting points at home for the first time. It's natural for them to think that 1 point is enough. Towards the end of the match, they wanted to keep this score as they went without conceding a goal for a long time.
The red card in overtime was very clever. Carcelen blocked the clear goal position and received applause from the fans. It's not common for a red card to be applauded. It was an interesting situation.
Getting a point against Emery's Villarreal should count as success. Cadiz can play against teams similar of their quality to win the match. It's their nature to be protective against big teams.

And sure enough it was a draw for both teams. Villareal appeared to dominate, but they failed to score a single goal against Cadiz. Cadiz know their quality is no better than Villareal, so they prefer to stay and wait for their chance. Cadiz applied a disciplined game that made it difficult for Villareal to penetrate their defense. Villareal missed their chance to get points in this match.

[hahay]

Unexpected results came from Villarreal, who would have thought that Cadiz could hold Villarreal to a draw which even statistically Villarreal won in many ways but the result was not as expected. I think it will be an easy win for Villarreal because they must win anyway they need to win at least to stay in the top five, but with this draw it is very possible for Villarreal to be out of the top five. It's a shame I think because Villarreal should be in the top four which even Bilbao and Betis currently have.

Yea, I can see that was really their plan and they got it, no wonder the fans were still happy for the draw and even cheered for a red card gotten for the sake of the draw. I agree that 1 point is better than non especially when you get it from a good team like Villareal. I believe this draw boost the moral of the team for their next outing.

That's what I thought too, but Cadiz apparently surprised us both.  They earned 1 point from Villarreal.  Thus, they won their first draw in the league.  It must be very sad for Villarreal.  There are 2 very important points lost.  While they want to compete for UCL this year, they should not experience such points loss.
