La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[OcTradism]

Always interesting conditions. There are events that are difficult to predict in football. Barcelona's defeat is difficult to predict. Although the referee declared offside, many media said that Lewandowski was not offside. The analysis of semi-automatic VAR teams in La Liga has been questioned. Even if that happens, it seems that the final result cannot be changed. Barcelona still lost, luckily they still have a large point difference.

It happens with VAR a lot and when a goal is denied by VAR team then a referee, there are people who feel happy and others feel disappointed. It's reality they must face with in football, with or without VAR, there will be hard decisions to make by a referee and it won't never satisfy all two teams in a match.

Barcelona have to accept it, move on but they have to analyze this defeat in order to prepare better for future matches. Losing a match is bad but it is not nightmare that only comes if you lose a battle. Losing a battle means losing La Liga trophy and in fact Barcelona are leading in La Liga and their chance to win La Liga title is good now.

The 6-point gap and Barcelona's defeat slightly favored Madrid. Madrid is certainly easier to chase. These 2 weeks are international breaks, maybe the players will defend their country. This condition is good for rest but bad maybe because it can result in injury. It is also possible that their fitness will decrease.

Real Madrid can be able to reduce the gap to only 3 points, which is good but with many injured players, Real Madrid potentially will lose more points in future too. Assume they can reduce their point difference after this match, they will need to play carefully and avoid losing more points in future before their injured players return to their squad.

If Real Madrid wins the match they are missing, they will reduce the point difference to three. This means a difference of only one win. If Real Madrid can win consistently until the end of the season, the point difference with Barcelona will definitely be closed. Because Barcelona also lost points against Real Sociedad. These results show that they can experience surprise point losses. Real Madrid needs to evaluate this very well.

Do you think Madrid won't drop points again? Even if Madrid and Barca are on the same points now with Madrid having a game in hand, I don't think Barcelona should panic because Madrid will drop a lot of points. As it stands, Madrid is closer to being overtaken by Atletico Madrid than they are to catching up with Barcelona. Madrid has not won against a formidable opponent this season. They drew with Atletico Madrid, lost to Lille, lost to Barcelona and Ac Milan. So I don't think Madrid is in the right form to take the league from Barcelona this season. Before the end of the year, I bet Madrid will still drop points in at least 2 league matches, and things are getting worse for them because more of their players keep getting injured. It's not looking good for Madrid tbh.
I know the kind of team they are and they can turn their season around but the words coming out from Carlo Ancellotti are not reassuring.

Also, anybody who has been following La liga knows that a loss at Anoeta is not a surprise loss. Then when you look at the fact that Barcelona had issues with Yamal and Olmo's fitness.
Like I've always said, the only thing that can stop Barcelona from winning the la liga this season are injuries.

As it stands, Madrid is closer to being overtaken by Atletico Madrid than they are to catching up with Barcelona. Madrid has not won against a formidable opponent this season.

The season haven’t even been halved and as such, there is still every tendency that, just any team would drop points before the end of the season and that includes Real Madrid and Barcelona. The teams we expect either of these giants to beat easily are the teams they end up loosing to.
Look at how Real Sociedad did beat Barcelona. The same Real Sociedad that couldn’t get a goal against Osasuna while playing at home. It’s always like that, you get to lose when you least expected and it doesn’t depend on what’s the most difficult fixtures you’ve got for now.

The defeat suffered by Barcelona at Real Sociedad's home has at least given space for rival teams to reduce their points gap with Barcelona, ​​especially for Real Madrid who have not played their 13th match of the season so Real Madrid must be able to take advantage of that in order to reduce their points gap with Barcelona who are still solid at the top of the standings at this time. But for this week all teams can make important evaluations because there are no matches in La Liga except for one match in the Copa Del Rey.

Despite the controversy that occurred, the final result was still Barcelona lost and I am not only highlighting that but Real Sociedad has a very good defense so they can win this match.
In football there are many surprises and this is one of them and I am not so surprised because Real Sociedad is also a strong team especially when they play at home.

Regarding the increasingly close points gap with their rivals Real Madrid after last weekend Barcelona failed to get points, it is indeed a little advantageous for Madrid but it is not significant, this is still early in the season and the journey is still quite long and I am also very sure that the competition between these two teams will be very fierce until the end of the season for the title.

In response to the incident, many memes circulated on social media regarding the VAR referee error in identifying Aguerd boot which looked like Lewandowski boot. Many media outlets questioned the referee decision to disallow Lewandowski goal even though he was clearly onside. Yes, the result of the match cannot be changed, Hansi Flick has also accepted the decision even though his team was disadvantaged by the referee's decision.

Real Madrid is the team that benefits from Barcelona's defeat, now the gap between the two is 6 points, but Real Madrid still has one match left against Valencia. Real Madrid must take advantage of this match to keep their distance from Barcelona, They have also just returned to winning ways after suffering two consecutive defeats at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid football team performance is at the top and all players are doing good because they won last match one handed and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. Osasuna players have to focus on their game if they want to be successful in next matches. Real Madrid has second position in points table which is better than Osasuna but Osasuna has also not low position because they are at 5 position and has 21 points  and Real Madrid team has 27 points . Júnior was the top performer of this match and he did 3 goals in this match and that was extraordinary thing in this match and we saw that player has bright future and will di excellent in next matches.

Everyone has to admit that Real Madrid Football Club played well against Osasuna Football Club but before this match observe the performance of Real Madrid in few matches. The way Real Madrid started this LaLiga season, many thought they would always perform well, but they suddenly started to perform poorly. In particular, they performed worst against their arch-rivals Barcelona. After a miserable defeat against Barcelona, Real Madrid also lost badly against a weak AC Milan club. But with the impressive performance against Osasuna, Real Madrid players are trying to get back to their old form and maybe they will succeed soon.

Like Vinicius Jr's impeccable performance against Osasuna, maybe another striker in their team, Kylian Mbappe, should good perform for the sake of the team as he is not performing well and scoring goals at the moment.

The season starts from the very first match week and whatever happens every week can decide who wins the competition. It's different from the UCL in this regard because a team sitting in 18th position today can win the champions league. They even lose in the knock out stage and turn the aggregate in the second leg and qualify, but with the league, every point dropped is important and can decide if you'll win the league or not.
Madrid has depended much on individuality to win some games this season and no, it's not the games they're expected to win that they lost. They only drew to Mallorca and Las Palmas which they expected to win, but when the faced big teams they lost. they even almost lost to Dortmund assuming Dortmund didn't slip up. My point is, Madrid needs to pick a very good form for them to be able to overtake Barcelona and take the lead. The season is long I know, but while Real Madrid players are getting injured, Barcelona players are returning from injury and are getting match fitness as time goes by.
And that is why I said injuries are the only things that can deny Barcelona the league this season. If players like Yamal, pedri, Raphina, Lewandoski, Olmo get long term injuries, Barcelona will be in trouble. In their defense they have only @ CBs so if anything happens to either of them they'll be in trouble, but aside injuries, I don't see Barca dropping points so much and Madrid being consistent enough to overtake them I the league.

[Chilwell]

If Real Madrid wins the match they are missing, they will reduce the point difference to three. This means a difference of only one win. If Real Madrid can win consistently until the end of the season, the point difference with Barcelona will definitely be closed. Because Barcelona also lost points against Real Sociedad. These results show that they can experience surprise point losses. Real Madrid needs to evaluate this very well.

Sometimes we all think in that direction but mostly it's doesn't go as we all thought, know one thought Barcelona will be defeated by Real Sociedad but unfortunately it happened so for Real Madrid which you are having hope for to win their outstanding match to reduce the point gaps by three points, I also want the same thing and I am much confident in them to win the match, this season only Real Madrid and Atletico have the less defeat in the league with just one lost and Barcelona haven't played a single draw since the season started and they have recorded two defeats which was so bad, know one see this coming especially after defeated the biggest rival Real Madrid and Bayern Munich but it all turned upside down because they came back from international break looking tough and now they go back looking weak. I hope this period will be you to learn are correct their mistakes.

[Solokan]

Barcelona's performance in that match was very different and I think they deserved to drop points, but not for 3 points. I mean, Barcelona should have scored a goal in that match but they failed to develop their game throughout the match and almost lost all creativity.

Without Lamine Yamal, I think Barcelona's scheme in building attacks is very different. Raphinha continues to fail, as do many other players including Lewandowski, Pedri and Kounde. In fact, all these players were so good before when they secured a 2-5 win against Red Star in the Champions League. But perhaps, the players feel tired after many matches.

Indeed, without Lamine Yamal, we can see that there is something different about Barcelona's game because when there is Lamine Yamal, Barcelona always looks better, he always scores goals and also Lamine Yamal always passes the ball well and always makes assists, so that's true in this case. Barcelona lacked performance when Yamal was not playing. Yes, of course it is very unfortunate, because Yamal's injury means he cannot play against Real Sociedad and of course this will definitely make Barcelona fans sad because of course Yamal's appearance is always eagerly awaited and good.

Yes, it could be due to fatigue which makes Lewandowski, Raphinha and the others perform less well and it is indeed something that makes sense that when against Real Sociedad, Barcelona lost because of fatigue, but yes, now Barcelona must definitely be able to fight to win for the time being.

Yes, I hope that Yamal can recover quickly because if he recovers, of course I'm sure Barcelona will perform well again and of course Barcelona will definitely have better strength. So, let's see what happens next.

[Lida93]

If they can sustain such level up to the final matches and give attention to every match, they will be in a position to narrow down the ladder towards Barcelona. There are basic factors to note including consistency and sheer rigidity of working to secure success including noticing times that definite competitors are bound to lose point in specific games. The chances of starting successive winning will enhance our standings and that is always good for the team to work hard and make the best out of the chances they get.

The defeat suffered by Barcelona at Real Sociedad's home has at least given space for rival teams to reduce their points gap with Barcelona, ​​especially for Real Madrid who have not played their 13th match of the season so Real Madrid must be able to take advantage of that in order to reduce their points gap with Barcelona who are still solid at the top of the standings at this time. But for this week all teams can make important evaluations because there are no matches in La Liga except for one match in the Copa Del Rey.

It was a very catastrophic loss for Barcelona, the statistics showed that Barcelona never had a shot on target and this seems unbelievable for a team like Barcelona who are at their best at the moment and probably one of the most consistent club considering their performance this season, though they were denied a goal as a result of wrong decision from the officials who had mistakenly ruled their goal for offside, perhaps the other teams who are behind them on the table would take advantage of this flaw and reduce the gap.

Real Madrid has suffering serious problem because they have one more player who got injured and the winning result from Osasuna has a victim that Rodrygo has been confirm that he have to rested for next 5 or 6 week and this is big lost for Real Madrid because previously they had facing storm injured and lost some players and most likely Rodrygo will be absense for Real Madrid important match just like when they will facing Liverpool later at the end of this month

For forward lines indeed Real Madrid has several option to played after Rodrygo absense and probably Ancelotti can attempts to playing Endrick or Arda Guller and i think while Rodrygo got injured this is good opportunities for these players to gets more minutes to play

Rodrygo is indeed one of the most important strikers at Real Madrid, so with Rodrigo's current injury, of course this will have a big impact on Real Madrid's front line. Even though it is true that Real Madrid still has several forward players who are capable of replacing Rodrygo, in my opinion, if you look at their quality, it can be said that they are still not able to match Rodrygo. But even so, Ancelotti has no other choice so Ancelotti will definitely play Arda Guler or Endrick to fill the void left by Rodrygo in the upcoming match. Apart from that, Real Madrid's victory over Osasuna could be said to be quite extraordinary.

Because in this match Real Madrid was able to win with a fairly large score, namely 4-0. Then in this match Vinicius was the key player for Real Madrid, because in this match Vinicius was able to score an extraordinary hat trick. But what is quite a shame is that Mbappe didn't play very well in this match, he was only able to launch 5 kicks towards Osasuna's goal and none of those 5 kicks resulted in a goal. So I personally regret Mbappe's performance in this match. Because apart from not being able to score goals, Mbappe was also unable to provide assists in this match. But even so, hopefully in the next match Mbappe can show his best performance again.

Real Madrid is still Real Madrid guys, you can't think that the injured lion isn't dangerous
clearly he has problems, like all teams sometimes have, i am sure and i have hope that he wil be able to resolve everything
Even though i support Barcelona in Spain, i am happy to have an opponent like Real Madrid, otherwise it gets boring

The absence of an important figure in Madrid's attack line is a big blow because in my opinion he plays an important role in every match, including Vini Jr. Both of these people have consistent performance, Rodrygo's position could be replaced by Arda or Endrick but if you look at when Ancelotti played Arda he was mostly placed in the middle position, he could carry out that position but I doubt for now it will be as good as Rodrygo on the other hand Endrick's maturity in collective play has not been fully established there is still a sense of egoism.
Yes, we will see later what Ancelotti will do to cover this deficiency or he will change the formation to play Mbappe in that position.

[mv1986]

I was also not happy with VAR decision on canceling the goal yesterday because it is obvious and many people are criticizing them for that, but we can’t fight technology since the technology judge the case; however, it is just that me mistake, I am sure the Laliga referee body will address the decision letter because it was controversial and many people including me need explanation.

Barcelona remain the favorites to win Laliga this season because they have good squad more than Real Madrid, and Hensi Flick is a good coach, but his decision of benching some of his start players will keep affecting his performance because this is the second time this is happening when he benched Lamont Yamal.

VAR have full control of what's going on in the system, they make the decision and finalized everything on the pitch. On the records, Hansi Flick is upset with the team's result this past weekend because this shocking defeats disrupts his plans of making excellent strategy towards winning next game this season. Barcelona should exempt from the positive impact of giving their pre-eminent rival, Real Madrid hope for the league title because any slight close angle, it means problem and hurdle for Barcelona. Real Sociedad nailed Barcelona yesterday with a narrow 1 nil victory at home and you consider that it to be comfortable win? Absolutely not because Barcelona was not in form or their performance was poor, it was hardlock that ruined everything.

In my opinion he has some bad timings with rotating players out of the team and giving some players a rest. It wasn't necessary to lose this game as they have given away another chance to demoralize Real Madrid with an additional win and three important points. I don't know, Hansi Flick is doing a lot of good things, but when they lost the game last time he did the very same thing. Several changes in the first eleven and then hoping that they can somehow do it. I would tell my team to give it their all. I'd rather rotate a lot in three months from now and now use the opportunity to create an advantage, than giving the easy ones away now and rotate a lot in a few months from now.

It shouldn't be a problem for Real Madrid, there are plenty of options for players Real Madrid has to replace Rodrygo. Luckily it's not a serious injury that will take too much time to recover, Rodrygo is expected to be back playing in 1 month. Another player who is also injured is Lucas Vazquez, but again i said that this should not be a problem for Real Madrid.

It depends on the club they will meet that it would be a problem or not. If you look at the game against Osasuna, after the injuries Madrid still dominanted the match and scored more goals. However, I feel that if these players are not back to fitness and more get injured, it will worsen their current condition, especially if the jam a strong club.

What we see at the moment in Madrid condition certainly raises a big question about Ancelotti current training pattern, since the start of the season we have seen how their players are in a condition that is prone to injury and I dont know what is the cause?

Previously they have lost Alaba, militao, carvajal and also tchoumeni which has disturbed the stability of their current defense, even though when at the moment Madrid are under strong pressure to improve their position in the standings UCL and La Liga, precisly Rodrygo  to be absent at the moment, the number of key players who are injured is certainly possible for young players to play now, but I think that is not the main problem of Madrid at the moment, Because I see that their attacking line which consisting of Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo previously not have good cohesion as a team so far and make their difficult to scoring goal in a match.

[Out of mind]

Yes, Real Madrid is currently facing a big storm, it will take a long time for them to get out of this serious situation. The team is facing a lot of challenges after Rodrygo's injury, if he is injured for this long, it will be a big blow for the team. I saw that Rodrygo has injured his left leg muscle, as a result of which he will not be able to be on the field for a long time, he will definitely have to rest for a long time. However, if Endrick or Arda Güler are put on the field in Rodrygo's position, if they play well in this opportunity, it can be a good thing for them. However, Real Madrid must fill their injured spots now, they will face more challenging matches in the coming matches. So Ancelotti has to be more strict and make good strategies for the next matches so that Rodrygo's place is filled.

Rodrigo is out for a month, it is not such a long period that it will become a big problem for Ancelotti, although in this case it would be better if Ancelotti had Joselu, who always helped out in such cases last season. Now there are rumors that Amorim considers Rodrigo as a reinforcement for Manchester United, I don’t know if Ancelotti is ready to let anyone go from Real now, although it seems that he considers Vinicius and Mbappe to be the basis of the attack.

Things are much worse for Militao, who received a very serious knee injury in the match with Osasuna and it looks like he will be out for the rest of the season. Vazquez was also injured in this match, so Real is having some kind of a losing streak.
