La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[karabiber]

Athletic Bilbao are in a tight race with Villarreal for fourth place. Although they haven't lost in the league for a long time, they have struggled to win, but with the return of Galarreta and Nico Williams, they should be able to perform better in attack. As for Valladolid, who are bottom of the league, Alvaro Rubio, who has taken over the team temporarily, has a very difficult job. There are too many absentees. Although I see Bilbao close to the three points, I don't think it will be a high-tempo match. It's very difficult to surprise in this match and they are superior to their opponents in every area. I can also say that Valladolid is out of the league race.

Real Madrid have no other choice other than winning or else they will complicate their own calculations for the title.
It was obvious that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will win their games easily since their opponents are quite weak, sitting at the end of the table and trying to escape relegation.. For Real Madrid, they will face home Girona with a good odds in their favour and a recent history of defeating it without taking many goals.

The current standings are like the position at the beginning of the season and Madrid are back in a situation that is challenged to rise. Even if Madrid wins they still can't be comfortable because the distance from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is small. As the end of the season approaches, it is quite difficult for us to determine which of these 3 teams will be able to win the trophy. And if based on the chances Barcelona looks promising as long as they don't slip. Real Madrid today must not lose 3 points, if they fail once then their chances will be even more difficult to catch up to the first position.

Just when I thought Barcelona were going to drop points tonight, they still managed to beat Las Palmas in their 25th Spanish La Liga game of season. I watched the game from start to finish and go be honest, I think Las Palmas deserved at least a point for their resilience and fighting spirit. First half ended in a goalless draw but when Barcelona manager Hansi Flick introduced Dani Olmo in the second half of the game, the Spain international changed the game and got the first goal of the night before Ferran Torres added a second in the stoppage time. With the result, Barcelona are now at the summit of the Spanish La Liga table with 2 points above second placed Atletico and three points above third placed Real Madrid who will host Girona tomorrow

So far so good. Barcelona have done the job brilliantly and put one more victory in the history book. This match was very crucial for the team because there is a tiny gap between the second competitors, and if they make some mistakes then definitely they will be fall into second place. But thank God they succeeded in it and grabbed the points very clinically.

Anyway, let's talk about the match facts and figures. Barcelona played super dominantly. They created so many chances, but unfortunately, due to the hard stance of La Palmas defense Barcelona couldn't find any success to put them into the net. At last Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres take the lead with one one goal and Barcelona won the match to grab the 3 points. With this match, Barcelona found some more manipulation with league standings, and now they are a little bit in the safe zone.

For Real Madrid, they will face home Girona with a good odds in their favour and a recent history of defeating it without taking many goals.

Real Madrid have a third position temporarily before they complete the match with Girona. Any result rather than a win and 3 points, will not be helpful for Real Madrid to get a second or a first position after that. They have 3 points less than Barcelona and 2 points less than Atletico Madrid before a match with Girona.

Winning this match is mandatory for Real Madrid if they don't want to lose a first position to Barcelona and have to chase not only one but also two competitors after this weekend. Girona are weaker than themselves last season and their recent form is bad too, so 3 points for Real Madrid is my prediction.

In another competition, Villareal have 44 points and only 1 point less than Athletic Bilbao so Bilbao will need to win their match today as well for securing their fourth position in La Liga.

Yesterday was an interesting matchday... The funny thing is that all the favourites played away and won their matches... At the same time, all the home team failed to score a single goal... For now, the top of the standings remains unchanged... It will be interesting to see how Madrid will play against Girona today...

Approaching the end of the season we are presented with increasingly tight competition from the top 3 teams. ATM again won full points on the same day Barcelona continued its positive trend, now we just have to wait for the results of the match between Real Madrid and Girona, Real has no reason to lose, Ancelotti must make this match a crucial match because 3 points will restore their position in the standings. However, there is a concern for me because Girona is strong enough and can be relied on to steal points.

We have seen how important it was to register Olmo, there was a moment where we all thought he would not be registered, but this game showed how they are very important. Win here is of course very important but Barcelona should be able to beat Las Palmas to be fair, just because they failed before, doesn't mean it is common for them to fail, they should be winning this game and they did.

In the end, we could also consider how this could be start of a good run as well, they have been winning for a while, so I am assuming that they could keep on winning for a while longer as well, not like that would be terrible for them, we could see this get to a much better run for them. Could they win championship? If they keep this up, then there is no reason why they shouldn't.

Supporters of Barcelona will be hoping that Real Madrid who are playing today against fellow Spanish team Girona will get to draw points because they play without one of their most creative players. On paper, it looks like an easy game for Real Madrid to win but in reality, it is a game that they can lose if they do not sit up and try to take the bull by the horn from the beginning of the game. The silver line for Real Madrid supporters is that they have an attacker who has found his confidence and is scoring goals.

Dani Olmo is very important as a mobile player in midfield he is very active and I like how he competes on the field of course Olmo must enter every Barcelona match if Barcelona wants to win without worry, the 2-0 win with Las Palmas shows that They remain steadfast on their path and maintain the victory of the last 5 games in a row, this week is an extraordinary achievement for 3 points Barcelona.

But the next match is Real Madrid, we only wait a few more hours to witness how Real Madrid can conquer Girona to be able to return to second place in the standings because Atletico Madrid's success in beating Valencia with 3-0 brought them to second place in the standings.

This habit don't apply to Barce alone, but to the other teams in the top three. They are fund of winning games when we expect a loss or draw, and losing games when we expect the otherwise. I wasn't certain of this win judging by what they played against Las Palmas in their last game. I actually thought the game would be another missed opportunity, just like the ones they've missed this season. But they where able to secure all 3 points, which has also gotten the top three tighter. Barce currently leading with 54 points, while Real Madrid still have the chance to catch up with a game in hand, though they will find themselves in the second position due to goal difference.

Like i said sometime ago, the league title is clearly between the three sides. We've seen all three taking the lead at some point, but eventually dropping points. At this point, any side that fails to take chances might regret it at the end of the season. Let's see what Real Madrid has in store for us today.

Barcelona does not need to hope for other teams because currently they are the leaders of the La Liga standings, Barcelona only needs to maintain the consistency of its performance for the remaining matches this season if they are able to maintain it then the percentage of winning is already very large now and regarding several players who have made a big contribution to the team, it is undeniable that the new coach has now succeeded in making a difference in this team and if none of their main players are injured then the strength of the Barcelona team this season is quite strong.

Regarding Real Madrid who will face Girona this week, I think Real Madrid will play optimally to win the match and also Girona this season is not in its best performance so it is likely that Real Madrid will be able to get full points especially since they will play at home.

[Majestic-milf]

 With Real Madrid without the services of Jude Bellingham thanks to the red card he picked up during their game last week, I feel that the Los Blancos may have a hard time in their midfield today when they play Girona. Granted, Girona can't be a good match to stop Madrid or have them worry about their lack of Bellingham, but there's the possibility that they will pose a huge problem for Carlo Ancelloti's men especially as Madrid are in the race to make it back on top with Barca and Atletico Madrid winning their games.
 Girona have had just one win in their last five games so they will do their best to cause upsets for Madrid and ice noticed that's it's the clubs that they least expect that can snatch three points from them.

Real Madrid will not missed it today because I have much confidence for them than Girona, Mbappe is ready to have another hat trick against Girona. However Athletic Club and Valladolid is 2:0 now, the goal for Valladolid could have stand if not for the last player who was eager to score as such Putting part of himself on the offside, Williams made a good dreveling in the presence of Valladolid midfielder and some defenders before finalizing the goal, Athletic Club has made it to 4:0 right now from Sannadi and Sancet close to the same minute, Valladolid has not had any shot on target throughout this first half, Unai Simon is getting a clean sheet today because he has never even been attempted.

Athletic Bilbao are in a tight race with Villarreal for fourth place. Although they haven't lost in the league for a long time, they have struggled to win, but with the return of Galarreta and Nico Williams, they should be able to perform better in attack.

I can also say that Valladolid is out of the league race.

Valladolid is the worst team in the league this year, and it doesn't look like they can get out of the relegation zone anymore. Unless there are serious changes in the team, I think it's impossible for them to gain points from such matches. They will have no impact in this match either and will not score any goals.
Athletic Bilbao has lost a lot of points in recent matches but they are still in the top ranks, and they can make a comeback after this match. A win against the weakest team in the league by scoring 3-4 goals would be very good for them

Valladolid was really not given a chance by Athletic Club. Bilbao really dominated the match, attacking very offensively, then, defending strongly so that there was no space at all for Valladolid players to make shots on target.

Even in the first half , Bilbao had scored 4 goals without reply to Valladolid's goal. Indeed, lately, Bilbao's performance has been quite good, at least, they have not experienced defeat.

------ oppss, just now, Valladolid managed to get 1 goal so that the current situation is 4 - 1, now in minute of 47

Why making it seem like getting a hat trick is an easy task  , I know Mbappe can actually do that but making this  a stake can be risky though. Overall Girona isn't meant to give Madrid tough time. This should be a game with more goals so as to meet up with Barcelona goal difference which is their current advantage of topping the table.

Athletic club is currently playing 4-1 and it's second half which is clear indication Athletic club has won their own match because I see no way Valladolid will start a comeback, the best they can do is score one or two more goals. Valladolid has prevented Athletic club from getting their clean sheet.

[hahay]

Alvarez managed to score two goals in the first half in yesterday's match against Valencia, and made Atletico win with a big score of 0-3 even though they were playing away. But indeed, basically Valencia is also in a bad trend at this moment because it is still in the relegation zone, and it is difficult for Valencia to hold Atletico who have a good trend this season. Although Atletico's attackers or players are not on the top scorer list, but Atletico's three attackers such as Alvarez, Sorloth and Griezmann have all been fertile attackers for Atletico so far this season. Thus, it will certainly be good for the results that Atletico will get when their attackers have a good contribution because it is not only about relying on 1 player.


About Barcelona, ​​although on paper playing against Las Palmas is an easy match, in reality Las Palmas also has a good effort not to lose like Valencia experienced. After all, in the first meeting this season, Las Palmas actually managed to make a surprise when playing away by beating Barcelona with a score of 1-2. But even so, Barcelona did not really get revenge in their second meeting this season, because winning by only 0-2 for me was a normal score and not a landslide victory.

After the victory achieved by Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in other matches, then the match against Girona will be a must-win match by Madrid later if they want to maintain their chances and distance in the championship competition, I think Madrid ambition in the match will be very big and I don't doubt if they will be able to win 3 points in the match later,  Although maybe  Bellingham absence will have an impact on creativity and also the solidity of their midfield, but on the other hand, Madrid still has Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler and Endrick who can replace Bellingham later, besides that, the return of some of their injured players of course provides many options for Ancelotti in the match.

Girona has seen a remarkable drop in form this season compared from last season, so I don't think they are a team to be afraid  in the match, it is very likely that Madrid can pick up 3 points in the match to keep the competition La Liga title still tight this season.

Smaller teams always have a way of frustrating their bigger opponents the moment they notice a vital player is absent from the team and since Madrid are desperate to get all the points, they may make mistakes which Girona could take advantage of.
Factor in the fact that teams like Girona who have not had a win in a while will also look hungry and might control the attack of care is not taken. They could decide that instead of cowering in fear, they had better meet their opponents head on.
 Real Madrid have the advantage of hosting today but could be given a surprise package by their visitors if they are not careful.

Playing as the host, Athletic Bilbao really performed impressively in this match, and they gave no mercy to Valladolid at all. The score of 7-1 was the end of a crushing defeat for Valladolid.

In this match, Athletic Bilbao really performed crazy in this match with the many attacks they made and also the attempts they launched. Being 4 goals behind at the end of the first half, really destroyed the mentality of the Valladolid players, and it was made worse when one of their players had to get a red card right in the 56th minute S. Juric had to leave the field before the match ended, which made Valladolid have to play with 10 men. Only playing with 10 men, Pucela's troops couldn't do much, and let alone attack, they had enough difficulty in defending solidly, so that in the end in the second half they had to concede 3 goals again which made the match end with a score of 7-1.

[Out of mind]

Real Madrid vs Girona is a match where Real Madrid is ahead in the first half of the game. If Real Madrid can win today's match, they will be in second position with equal points with Barcelona, because Real Madrid has fewer goals than Barcelona. However, today, it is expected that the Madrid team will come back stronger after half-time against Girona. And by winning this match, they will definitely start competing with Barcelona.
If Real Madrid wants to compete in La Liga this season, they will definitely have to keep their best performance away, otherwise they may not be able to compete with Barcelona. In that case, if Real Madrid wants to maintain their dominance, they will definitely have to improve their game.
