La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[mamesso]

I like the fact that Barcelona has taken the league seriously this season. I have seen the spirit and improvement within the players. They are still my favorite club in the Spanish league. I want them t fight for the title and their focus should be more on winning the La Liga instead of the Champions League. My reason is that we have seen how competitive UCL is having a tough time in the UCL. If they fail to win other games, then they will not be able to qualify. Watching their game today i was impressed and i expect more from them in their upcoming games.

Every team will take every competition they participate in seriously, especially with Barcelona who really need various trophies to slowly get out of the financial crisis. The consistency that Barcelona has managed to create at this time has formed a positive trend, which indicates that the players in the squad are highly motivated to continue to develop. Hansi Flick managed to get through a quick adaptation period, and it is clear that Barcelona is now ready to become a title contender.

The slaughter mode was activated again after experiencing defeat in their last match at Monaco's headquarters in the opening match of the UCL, Villarreal who were undefeated in the previous 5 games had to admit Barcelona greatness. Interestingly, Flick played many players from the La Masia academy in this match, both starters and as substitutes, there were 10 La Masia players who were given the opportunity to play by the coach. I saw Barcelona doing something that was very rare in the Xavi era, the players kept attacking no matter how many goals had been scored. This strategy had a big impact on the opponent's mentality. Initially, Villarreal players played very disciplined and were very determined to attack, but their spirit immediately collapsed after seeing goal after goal coming into their goal.

How do we rate this Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid this season? For ones they can't play straight 5 games without showing how they love playing draw especially ATM. I love how they (ATM) have been performing but they still need to always be consistent because if they eventually play against Barcelona I don't think they can be able to withstand the force Barcelona are going to come with, even Madrid can't easily stop Barcelona as of now because Barcelona style of play is quite different from what we witness last season, they have been on top of their game without giving their opponent a breathing space to regroup. So with ATM and Madrid trying their best to top the table I think they have to go through Barcelona, as it is I'm not sure if either of them can beat Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid is not good enough this season. They lost some points from the matches against Espanyol and Rayo. Their performance is inconsistent. Some players need more time to adapt. They can't compete for the title if they keep dropping more pts.

They're not truly ready for this season; they're still missing a ball-playing CB and DM. But the season is long. They can still improve and challenge for the title against their competitor.

All in all, it's the same dynamic from them as last season. Not a lot of improvements happened with them.

On other hand, Madrid is slowly improving, and as long as they always play with good midfielder, and they're fine.

Barcelona's 100% start to the season brought to a disappointing end last midweek after they traveled France to play against Monaco in their first UEFA Champions League game of the season and that brought many criticisms to the team. Some persons were of the opinion that despite Barcelona's previous results before the game, they do not have all it takes to win in big matches. In their response to the critics today, the Spanish La Liga league leaders delivered another scintillating performance against Villarreal to continue to their impressive performance in the league. My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

Barcelona are actually on fire in early of this season. Their performances so far are unbelievable good and with a come back of Lewandowski and rapid mature of Yamal as well as Dani Olmo who joined them in this summer, Barcelona have many good players to compete for La Liga title. In coming months, they will work hard with medical team to make sure that injury cases in the club won't be high. Because injuries will be harmful for their squad availability and strength, if they can reduce injury cases, they will have very high chance to win La Liga.

There are two classic competitors with Barcelona in this season, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and these competitors are playing well too.

Barca's form this season is something else,they have been consistent this season judging from their results so far,and the reason they stand first on the table is solely because they don't want to drop any point at the moment,and looking at Real Madrid coming from behind them,it makes them want to always try to remain consistent in their effort.
Champions league comes again next week,and I am very sure they would want to get three points from it since they lost their first leg to Monaco,so three points for any staker on that one.

My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

Yes,In UCL Barcelona suffered defeat against Monaco. However, in my personal opinion, Barcelona cannot be said to not have strong competitiveness in international competitions, because there were many reasons underlying Barcelona's defeat in the match against Monaco. Like Barcelona who lost the number of players to Monaco because Barcelona only played with 10 people, because one of the Barcelona players got a red card at the start of the first half. Apart from that, several important Barcelona players such as Dani Olmo also suffered injuries and were unable to take part in the match. So because of that, I think it's natural that Barcelona lost that match.

Then talking about Barcelona's match against Villarreal, in my opinion it could be said to be an extraordinary thing. Because being able to win with a score of 5-1 is a very epic record in my opinion. So there is no doubt that Barcelona will most likely be a very strong team in Laliga. And regarding Barcelona's fate in the UCL, I think in the next match Barcelona will pay for yesterday's defeat with a win. The reason is that in the next match Barcelona will face a team that is not too strong in the UCL. So with this I am very optimistic that Barcelona can definitely win this match.

My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

No, we shouldn't. European competitions is still begin, maybe Barcelona is not so prepared to that competition, while in la liga they are very already and maybe their concentration is a bit divided to that both league. I think, what they should do now is how to manage their team to be solid not to how to get the winning. When meet Monaco, I watch their team is not soo compact, there are some shortcomings on each line which make they lost their confident. It's different when they play on la liga, they are very focused to how to get the winning even play away from home. Maybe they must implement it to European competitions, so that balance for their peformance.

Barcelona is very good at starting their start in La Liga until the sixth week they are still very consistent. Different from the results obtained in the Champions League yesterday and in my opinion it was a different match moreover Flick's troops also could not develop the game after his players were given red cards. So this season Barcelona will be a serious concern for everyone because previously they were very doubtful of being able to perform better because they were still facing financial problems. But Flick is really a great coach, he is able to manage the team very well. I hope Lewandowski and his friends are able to maintain their consistency both in La Liga and in the Champions League.

ATM are always known for playing the way they are doing now, every season they can't get things to be in order and it seems like the defensive way of play is the only way Diego Pablo Simeone likes using which is not productive in any way, at least last season they tried coming out to play a little bit of good and entertaining football. Losing points will only give them the chance of maybe finishing in the top 4 or below the top 4. In as much as the team is not improving in any way or being consistent the management are also not bothered in questioning the manager or telling him to make a positive stand for the team, if they go on like this they're going to end the campaign without trophy and they don't even look like a competitive team.
Real Madrid are like a snake and I don't trust how slow they make us believe they are taking every game, is like a trap to other teams. They are waiting for the right moment to strike and anything that will make Barcelona drop point you'd see the speed and impact of Madrid to top the table but for now let's watch how they handles the rest of the game.

Glad to see Barcelona has bounced back from their loss at UCL. They beat Villareal by a great margin. Their high-line defence worked as intended in this game. It looks scary to see them use high-line defense. But, it helped them trap their opponents in an offside position.

It seems to me Hansiball always prioritizes their attack over defense. It can be seen from how they took the big risk playing highline defence. But this is not gonna work against a club who fully understand how to leave from the trap. And there's room for improvement in their defence.

Their great win against Villareal cost them Ter Stegen. He will likely be out till the end of the season due to his injury.

[Egii Nna]

Just begun this season and there is still a long way to go. The way Barcelona have started it is very clear that they are trying their hardest to achieve their goals. The performance of the team is quite good and who is able to maintain their win in 6 consecutive matches will be able to perform in the same way in the remaining matches. But since it is a highly competitive field it is not unusual for there to be changes at any time.

We can’t say, but anything can happen. I know Barcelona start with a very good performance with the hope for them to make it to the trophy, but we all know that some of the teams mostly get weak in the middle of the season. I don’t pray for Barcelona to be in such situations, but it can happen, so let's see how the season will be for Barcelona. But for now, their performance is very amazing, and it will definitely encourage them to put in more effort. But the bitter truth is that they will find it hard to overcome Real Madrid this season.

you know, this Barcelona team has a combination of experienced players and rising stars in the team that are madly dedicated and are at thier peak currently. 6 games played so far with zero defeat or draw is a perfect start for the season and with the kind of scorline we've seen with a classic 17 goal difference this far, it's not an argument that they are on a journey to retrieve the title from real Madrid. For real Madrid to get at them, it will series of games and it's obvious the Barca team isn't ready to slow down a bit. I had expected Villarreal to put up a good fight but they were far behind in performance and goal scoring ability. The two games that's left for the week for them to play against getafe and osasuna are simple work over thqt you can predict that goals will pour like water in those games and they will still remain top on the table with a much higher goal difference and point above Thier real Madrid opposition.

Barcelona has been performing extremely well this season. With the return of Lewandowski and the impressive development of Yamal and Dani Olmo, they have shown immense talent and potential to be top contenders for the La Liga title. Their focus on reducing injury cases is commendable, as that would indeed contribute to greater squad availability and strength.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid definitely pose a strong competition, but Barcelona's consistency and determination make them a tough competitor. The upcoming Champions League game will be a vital opportunity for them to gain points, particularly since their first leg against Monaco didn't go as planned.

Indeed, Barcelona's team, with its blend of seasoned players and emerging stars, is exceptionally dedicated and currently at their peak. Having played six games so far without a defeat or a draw marks an excellent start to the season. Given the notable goal difference we've seen so far, it?s clear that they're on a path to reclaim the title

Their great win against Villareal cost them Ter Stegen. He will likely be out till the end of the season due to his injury.

Barcelona's performance had no effect at all after suffering defeat in the UEFA Champions League to Monaco after being able to achieve a fairly landslide victory over Villareal in La Liga. Robert Lewandowski could almost have scored a hat trick if his penalty kick had not hit the crossbar and his performance was very impressive after being able to score a brace against Villareal.

Barcelona have paid most expensive for their victory over Villareal because their main goal keeper Marc-André ter Stegen have out on the second half match and potential will absent until the end of this season. Its very bad news for Barcelona because they have many important matches in La Liga and improving performance in Champion League if won't loss opportunity get qualifying to knock out round.

Unbelievable with Barcelona performance since managed by Hansi Flick, in La Liga have won 6 of 6 matches and most fantastic have scored 22 goals drastically difference with Real Madrid scored 13 goas of 6 matches although have conceded 5 goals. Most amazing start for Barcelona in this season not only success keep the winning trend but also always scoring above 3 to 4 goals on every matches.

Both of these teams performed very well but the worst for me was Villarreal's failure to control the offside. If they could have controlled the offside, they would not have lost by such a margin, Villarreal had the hardest time in this match. Because even after scoring a few goals, the goals were disallowed only for offside, there was a slight offside like a little bit of a body part. However, Villarreal's players need to gain more experience in order not to make such mistakes in the attacking department, where these small mistakes have led to serious risks.
Because the gamblers who bet on the draw and Villarreal team undoubtedly lost and suffered losses, I thank the Barcelona team players because their offsides were minimal and the goalkeeper's weakness allowed them to score the most goals.

In La Liga Barcelona have indeed improved from last season, but to say they are quite consistent seems a bit inappropriate because Barcelona have only played six matches this season even though all of those matches have been won by Barcelona in La Liga. As for the next match in the Champions League this season, Barcelona will not meet Monaco again directly because this season the Champions League has been running with a new format so in the next match Barcelona will host Young Boys at the Estadio Olimpico Lluis Companys in the hope of winning in that match because Young Boys are not a very competitive team this season.

Villarreal's inability to stay onside was a key factor in their loss. The players definitely need more training in that aspect to avoid costly errors in future games. As you said, these small mistakes can lead to serious consequences, as was evident in this match.

Regarding the performance of Barcelona, their minimal offsides indeed played a significant role in securing a lead. Also, exploiting the goalkeeper's weakness added to their advantage. Bettors who had wagered on Villarreal or a draw indeed had to face a loss due to these outcomes.

In football, even the slightest of margins can have a significant impact, and both teams' results were a perfect illustration of this truth.

[bering]

Girona has poor start this season and this weekend they were received 3rd loses during this season from Valencia and this result is makes them only can occupy 12th place on League standing because Girona only can collect 7 points from 5 matches in Laliga and this very different if we compared to their performance for last season because on season 2023/2024 at the beginning of season Girona can occupy first place

Actually if we see from Girona transfer lists they didn't losing many players this summer even Girona has very active to bought the players to strengthen their squad but seems the new players still unable to adapt well and this makes Girona still unable to in form this season and if i am not mistaken this thursday Girona will facing Rayo at their home and they should be utilize this match to bounce back and return to the winning ways

In the first 20 minutes of this match we saw the dominance of Villarreal players. The team played well at the beginning of the match. But then the Barcelona team started to take control of the match. Barcelona scored the first goal in the 20th minute. Lelandowski scored from a wonderful pass by Pablo Torre. And within 35 minutes, Barcelona managed to take a 2-0 lead. However, at the end of the first half, Barcelona was leading 2-1. Both teams played well in the first half and the match was exciting.

But Hansi FLick changed the entire scenario of the match in the second half. I would say Hansi FLick's excellent match strategy is why Barcelona managed to beat Villarreal by a big margin in this match. In the second half we only saw Barcelona's dominance. Raphinha managed to score two goals. Barcelona would have won 6-1 had Lewandowski not missed a penalty in the second half. Yamal could not score a single goal in this match. However, Yamal's presence was noticeable throughout the match.

[Hirose UK]

I don't know what happened to Atletico Madrid today who failed to win the match against Rayo, previously Atletico Madrid always won when facing Rayo and even last season they beat Rayo convincingly with 7 goal and the last meeting also showed Atletico Madrid won with score of 2 - 1.
Several opportunities were actually obtained by Atletico Madrid but they failed to take advantage of all these opportunities into goal, previously they won over Bilbao and also Valencia until they added victory over Leipzig for UCL but today they couldn't maintain the victory.
I lost bet in multi-bet for the La Liga match, Bilbao has won and Barcelona is also the same as expected but Atletico Madrid made everything mess.

Barcelona's 100% start to the season brought to a disappointing end last midweek after they traveled France to play against Monaco in their first UEFA Champions League game of the season and that brought many criticisms to the team. Some persons were of the opinion that despite Barcelona's previous results before the game, they do not have all it takes to win in big matches. In their response to the critics today, the Spanish La Liga league leaders delivered another scintillating performance against Villarreal to continue to their impressive performance in the league. My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

This reflects how strong Barcelona are now, for Villarreal this is the first defeat in La Liga and especially this is a defeat at home, where these guys are very strong, but even they conceded 5 goals from Barcelona. It seems that Barcelona are doing great in La Liga, now they have to do the same thing a few times in the Champions League to get some points, although I have no doubt that for them to reach the playoffs will be an easy task, and the defeat to Monaco is an accident. The next games will be with Getafe and Osasuna, I think these should be easy wins, and then the match with Young Boys in the Champions League, I expect Barcelona to score at least 4 goals in this match.

[SmartCharpa]

If they were down to 10 players in the Monaco match, they would probably have beaten Monaco. Barcelona Team is a goal machine. Lewandowski was going to make a treble today, but he could not convert the penalty kick into a goal in the 67th minute. He was nevertheless named player of the match.
It looks like Barça will have a high-scoring season compared to last year.
He could break the goalscoring record this season.
He will play against Young Boys at home on October 1st and I expect a lot of goals in this match. There will be at least 6-7 goals.

Barcelona is performing better than predicted this season, scoring 22 goals in 6 La Liga games, which was surprising, the team has transformed into a goal machine compared to last season. It's an excellent beginning for Hansi Flick as club manager, he remains undefeated in La Liga but was unlucky to lose for the first time in the Champions League against Monaco due to the red card. To be honest, I thought Barcelona was going to find it hard to secure all the points against Villarreal since they have not lost any of their games this season, and have drawn against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona's performance showed that they are capable of winning trophies this season, and I can't wait to watch their first El Clasico match.

On the other hand, I don't think Young Boys will concede goals like this against Barcelona, they lost their first Champions League game to Aston Villa by three goals, so I don't think they will allow that to happen again. Barcelona can only score many goals in La Liga, but I don't think they can score six or seven goals in the Champions League, but they will be able to score at least two or three against Young Boys.
