La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Pandu Geddon]

I think Real Madrid doesn't have much of a crisis at the start of the season because they always have substitute players who are balanced and ready in all competitions. Injuries to several key players cannot prevent Real Madrid from winning titles in even competitions.
It really deserves to be considered an elite club or a giant club that has the highest caste at the moment. Real Madrid has also shown the best performance and will consistently win full points from its opponents in every match.

May not be affected at this time because Madrid does have quite a lot of good substitutes. Even among them are young players. But at the beginning of the season, they did experience a decline in performance. If they had performed exceptionally from the beginning of the season, maybe Madrid would not have been disturbed by Atletico or Barcelona.
We know how extraordinary Madrid is, but what we see is the fact that Madrid had some problems in several matches at the beginning of the season. Fortunately, now they have improved with Mbappe who is starting to play well with his teammates. We didn't see that at the beginning of the season.

Madrid didn't start this season well because they had several case of injuries which affected their performance a lot in both domestic and international competitions. I will say this is one of the worst start for Madrid throughout their history.. However, with all those challenges, they were still able to put themselves back in the title race and took over the first position. Barcelona is back in tge title race.

Real Madrid performed badly during the start of the season but were fortunate enough to find their way back to the top due to the hard work they had put in and also by taking advantage of Barcelona's flops whenever necessary. Real Madrid didn't only struggle in the league alone but also in the champions league which is why they couldn't qualify outrightly but had to go to the playoffs but in all they have proved to be a good team by the way they go about getting the right results which has placed them in a good spot this season so far. Imagine their performance against City in the UCL last night.

I agree with you that Real Madrid is an elite club . And Madrid's squad is very strong. Also madrid has a lot of talented  players on the bench . Even so I would say that Madrid is facing a big crisis at the moment.

Madrid's squad  has 5 defenders injured. Madrid probably didn't even imagine before the start of the season that 5 defenders in the squad would be injured at the same time. If madrid had two defenders and  two midfielders injured at the same time, then maybe it wouldn't have been such a big problem for Madrid. But with all the experienced defenders of the squad out of the squad, Madrid's defense is quite weak now.

Nevertheless, Madrid won the last  match against City because of Ancelotti's great match strategy. It is because of having an experienced coach like Ancelotti that madrid is able to play well despite the injury problems . But I wouldn't be surprised if Madrid dropped points in a few La Liga games. It's very difficult to consistently perform well with  a weak defense.

Barcelona vs Rayo
Atletico madrid vs celta
Barcelona vs Osasuna.

However, I am sure that the 3 teams ranked in the top 3 in the standings will be able to win in the upcoming match.

Real Madrid will play against Osasuna who are not doing too badly, in the last 5 games Osasuna have only lost in 1 game and Osasuna have achieved good results when they play at home, I bet on Real Madrid to win, but I must say that I see this bet as a high risk bet. Regarding the Atlético Madrid game, they are strong when they play at home, that's why I bet on Atlético Madrid to win. Regarding the Barcelona game, honestly the low odds seem to be underestimating Rayo Vallecano who have not lose in the last 5 games.

Yeah. The match against Osasuna is kind of risky if you bet on the game because Osasuna's recent results are good, and they have been consistently winning the matches. They only lost 1 game, as you said. Although Real Madrid is the favourite in this match, and that is why even if you already bet on Real Madrid to win the match, I won’t blame you because Real Madrid looks stronger than Osasuna. As for Barcelona, they are also the favourite for their own match because, to me, the team is not doing well.

That will give the hope that they are going to challenge Barcelona, so even in the Barcelona match, I think they will win the match. Even Atlético will find it easy to win their match since they will be playing at home, so with no doubt, I think in these three matches, the top teams will be the winners.

Yes, it is natural that the teams you mentioned will have a higher chance of winning the upcoming matches. Even then we may not be able to say with complete certainty that they will definitely win those matches. Basically it can be said with certainty that if a team's performance is not right, it will be difficult task for them to win the match. In the case of Real Madrid, we can give an example because they were defeated by Espanyol in a match before.

But Real Madrid's opponent in that match was very weak. I think Real Madrid still have the best chance because they won the match very attractively in today's match. In addition, Real Madrid's recent results have improved greatly.

Yes, basically we cannot rule out the possibility that surprises can still occur in the 3 matches, so it is true what you said, victory cannot be said to be 100% claimed by them, although in this case it is clear that the 3 teams that will play their matches next week are favorite teams against weak teams, but considering the pressure experienced by each team, so that victory becomes a mandatory target for them to achieve, so in my opinion the 3 strong candidate teams will end the match with a victory over their respective opponents.

I will say this is one of the worst start for Madrid throughout their history.. However, with all those challenges, they were still able to put themselves back in the title race and took over the first position. Barcelona is back in tge title race.

Yeah, and this issue of injuries started from last season but the management didn't address that issue and I really wonder why. Nevertheless, the club has shown why they are an elite club. Despite their injury crises they are still pushing and are currently in 3 competitions. The Real Madrid badge is really worth defending at every given opportunity.

Lol, the truth is Real Madrid doesn't always manage to have a good start, but in the end Real Madrid always manages to get a trophy. So, it feels very exaggerated if you say this season is a bad start in Real Madrid's history. After all,  if you pay close attention to how Real Madrid in the last few seasons even in the Champions League, they always struggle to get goodresults at the beginning of the season, but as time goes by with the great champion mentality that Real Madrid has, then Real Madrid still succeeds at the end of the season  even though Real Madrid is struggling at the beginning. So yeah,  there is nothing strange and nothing new about the results that Real Madrid have, they are used to it with results like that are in their transition period with their young squad.

[bastisisca]

Real Madrid are returning to the La Liga with the morale of a big win over Manchester City. I think they have enough time to rest for the Osasuna game up next too. After losing points 2 weeks in a row in the La Liga, I believe they will get the win here finally.    They have missing players in the defense line but still they can maintain their lead by the end of the week. Their attackers are in really good shape recently.

I think the same for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid as well this week. They should also be winning their league games nicely. This gap of one point between each of these teams is making the title competition really interesting to follow.

above all they will think, rightly, that the worst has passed and behind their shoulders
they lived bad moments of emergency, where nothing was taken for granted
So i understand their happiness very well now, lawful for anything else, since they managed to avoid damage.
they are advancing in the Champions League and in the Liga are first

[bitgolden]

Barcelona could end up with a win this season, and I know that looks like it is not going to be easy, but if Real Madrid loses any points on the next two games because of the extra stage, that would allow Barcelona to take the lead and this could be very good as well. There can't be really a big deal with this, we need to consider how that could be a possibility.

Real Madrid will play a league game now, and then they will play the next City game as well, and then another game after that. This means, while Barcelona rests, Real Madrid will be playing and that can cause Barcelona to keep winning, whereas we are talking about Real Madrid to end up with fatigue which could cause them to get a loss or a draw which would give Barcelona the chance to take the lead. I know that it won't be simple, but it won't be impossible neither so that has to be the key here. The most important weeks of the league is starting right now, and Barcelona will be very excited about the possibility.

I might want to tie that probability to the injury worries that is currently affecting Real Madrid. Unlike Barce that doesn't have much (major) injury, Real madrid has so many, especially in their defensive line. Rudiger, who happens to be their best defender has been sideline. Same thing goes for Alaba who I thought will make his return in January, but went back injured again. It's not looking good for Madrid at all, as this might just be their only problem this season, which might cost them some of the titles.

And even if Barce isn't that consistent with their performance, they still find ways to win some games in a straight win manner, and if they can Capitalize on Real Madrid's injury, then winning the title will be certain. Though, Atletico madrid is also another threat to look out for. It's definitely going to be a very interesting season for the three teams as they fight for the title.

I think because before they were confident enough with their reserves that could be relied on but the invoice was not like what they expected, Real Madrid had many players who could not be relied on or in other words the collaboration of new players on the field was less satisfying so that Being a failure at the beginning of the season and fortunately indeed they could get up and return to the top of the standings, however with Barcelona it seems to have begun to rise again, after several stages they experienced a losing match and a draw and now the time to catch up.

That is why many have trust in Real Madrid, because whenever it gets towards the end of the season, they always maintain a good performance that will make them achieve the trophy, even though they started the season with a poor performance. That is why a lot of fans are not afraid of Real Madrid. If it was another team that started this season with the performance that Real Madrid started with and also had a series of injuries like Real Madrid, I don’t think they would still be able to cope as Real Madrid is coping this season, so they really deserve the respect that they are being given, no doubt about that.

It seems that Madrid management is reducing their financial expenses, since bringing in Bellingham, Mbappe, Ancelotti is no longer targeting players that they need. In fact, Madrid needs several defenders who can cover the main players, especially when they are injured like now. In addition, Madrid still has problems in their midfield. Since Kroos left, there has been no young Madrid midfielder to replace him. I'm sure Ancelotti knows that, but it seems that he is maximizing the available players. Although sometimes they get obstacles when playing their matches, in the end when the players recover from their injuries Madrid will be much stronger. To be honest, even though the points gap between the three teams is very thin, Madrid still has a high probability of defending its title. It's just that, it seems that the competition for the trophy will be quite exciting until the end of this competition. However, if Madrid's players have recovered from their injuries, it seems difficult to stop them. Unless, Madrid's performance is not in its best mode and they slip in several of their matches. thus, it opens up opportunities for the two teams below Real Madrid's ranking.

In my opinion, Real Madrid should have found a solution to the injuries in the defense area. Maybe they should have made a few good transfers there. They have a lot of injured players and this is a real problem for them. There will probably be alternative player transfers at the end of the year instead of injured players. Because Ancelotti started to evaluate even the players who are not in their position in the defense area. If you are aiming for the Champions League championship, this area is one of the most important areas. Your defense should be very solid.

Some thing the way you think and believe that they are going to have a win because they would have a bigger morale thanks to the win over Manchester City at an away game. However, some believe that this was a game where they didn't had any chance to fix it and rest, and going to play a game very soon, which could cause the fatigue to be an issue as well.

There needs to be some kind of situation they need to realize where they are not doing as well as they though they would, and because of that they could lose as well. If they do, then the morale drop of losing the top place could lead them to lose to City as well. I never liked Ancelotti to begin with, and he isn't the person to rest any player when they are tired, so we really do not know what's going to happen at all.

There is this cognitive reservation of football style Anceloti used in his games since I knew him as the coach of Real Madrid which is trust. They trust their players so much that they don't want to bring down anyhow player for replacement. If there is any player as replacement, then that guy has to be a first class player and that's why there were alot of arguments about Mbape move to the club, this is why they don't change players despite their conditions.

However, the injuries were many on many players which affect the club decision about starting players, look at the center back and left back, injuries has kept them in the dark of the season but they are still surviving, now the question is how long can they last like this, it will get tough as the season is coming to an end and it seems the players are rotating the injuries, one will go and another will come continuesly and that's very bad for the club.

Real Madrid is dealing with injuries, but it isn't harming their games in all tournaments since Ancelotti knows how to handle his team's players. See how Real Madrid performed in the UCL versus Manchester City, if Manchester City was defending, Madrid should have scored more goals. When Madrid players are hurt, I am no longer afraid that they will lose since Ancelotti is a fantastic coach, and whenever a player is injured, he generally finds another replacement and performs admirably without moaning throughout the game. Real Madrid is still attempting to win league matches in order to maintain their league-leading position. Because any mistakes if Madrid loses a game In the current competition, he may be a threat to them, causing them to fall down the league table and make it impossible to reclaim the top spot. Let's see if they can win their next game against Osasuna, but I'm confident Madrid will get three points as they're playing at home. And it will be extremely difficult for Osasuna to win Madrid because they lack the ability to score three points against Madrid this weekend.

I still has some questions though on how they find a way out on every difficult situations, anytime they have a serious match like the one they play yesterday against Manchester City, they always have a way to make sure they win but they don't have what it takes to win small team, I called them small team because they are below 10 place in the table and some are related already, why lose such games when it's the same players that do play.

The rate at which they are moving on the table is slow and dangerous. If you ask me who is the most dangerous team in Laliga right now, I will say it's Barcelona. This guys win everything that comes there way of recent and you wonder how far they would have gone if they were the one at the top of the table right now, they just want to win everything that's my fear for Real Madrid, they drew their last game, if they repeat that again, they wlll drop from there.

Well I don't think buying of players is or should  be the center of focus for Madrid at this time because they actually have a solid team who just  suffers from t he whole issue bothering around injuries els they have got very fantastic players on almost every angle,  their only reason of sales and buying would bother on injury prone players else they just need to focus on building  the team to the point where it gets back to it assumed position much earlier.

[TelolettOm]

...Hmm, Osasuna is sometimes quite tricky, therefore, Ancelotti must still deploy all of his top first layers. There is no other way to maintain the position other than victory.

I am sure Real Madrid will win against Osasuna, although a club like Osasuna can sometimes give a surprise but in the last 2 matches Real Madrid has lost 5 points and of course Ancelotti will not let his club continue to lose points in the next match because the match is very important for Madrid to maintain its position at the top of the standings,

Yes, I believe so too. Based on H2H so far between Osasuna vs Real Madrid, RMA dominates the victory. Even in the last 6 matches, RMA won 5x and drew only 1x. While now, Real Madrid's position is quite on fire, and they are required to win in order to maintain their 1st place in La Liga. So, Ancelotti must be serious in this match.
