La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Uruhara]

Don't be surprised that people are mostly picking between Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the league because they have been the most consistent over the years, when it comes to the league titles. Atletico Madrid always fall off along the line. We have seen that happen over the years and it has kept on repeating years after years. So we ain't expecting anything different from them this time. Atletico Madrid will not win the league believe me. Not when Real Madrid and Barcelona are this close to them. Atletico Madrid would have had the chance of winning if either Barcelona, Madrid or both are struggling presently. But they are not, so since they ain't struggling but in good forms, Atletico Madrid will always be the odd Man in their midst. They don't have this winning mentality that Barcelona and Real Madrid players have developed over the years.

The last time Atletico Madrid won the LaLiga title was the 2020-21 season. Well it's been quite a while i.e. it was 5 years ago. So I still feel that Atletico Madrid could be successful this season even though the chances are quite small. Because I saw how Real Madrid beat them in the Champions League, I feel that Atletico Madrid's strength is still not enough to compete more closely with Real Madrid. Unless Atletico Madrid continues to win against all teams other than Barcelona and Real Madrid then the opportunity could really come to them although I still have doubts. And yes, the more expected competition will still be between Barcelona and Real Madrid. because so far these two teams have really been able to show more impressive qualities.

Atletico Madrid just need to maintain consistent performance until the end of the season and they have the same possibility as Barcelona and also Real Madrid to win the La Liga title this season, Atletico Madrid's strength is much better so they cannot be underestimated.
I see there is a chance for Atletico Madrid to win the title because Real Madrid and Barcelona this season cannot maintain consistent performance so even though overall Atletico Madrid's strength is not better than those two teams but if Atletico Madrid can maintain consistent performance then there is a big possibility for them to win the La Liga title this season.

[len01]

For me the key for any team to win La Liga this season is consistency. The title race is still wide open and although Barcelona might be leading at the moment, maintaining their lead won't be an easy task, especially since the points difference is only three points. Both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are still strong contenders and with the competition getting more intense, it will be exciting to see who comes out on top at the end of the season.

Consistency is the second option and the most important first option is just strategy and tactics to manage the team perfectly. So if a coach is able to manage players and rotate players perfectly, it will be easier to apply consistency in every match. On the one hand, not only that, but a close relationship between players and coaches must also be maintained to unite chemistry and carry out every strategy with success. And regarding the current La Liga competition, it is not certain who will lead at the top of the standings before one of the teams makes the biggest mistake. But I think Madrid and Barcelona are still very strong candidates for the title holder.

Atletico Madrid played well but they have to fight against two strong competitors Real Madrid and Barcelona, and this title competition is very tight among three strong candidates. Their performances in La Liga can affected more or less, or even seriously by matches in Champions League. It's interesting that Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have to face directly in Champions League and only one of them will be in quarter final phase.

The club that has to leave Champions League after round of 16 will be able to focus more on La Liga, and La Liga title competition will have big changes after round of 16 ending. It's likely that Atletico Madrid will have to end in Champions League while Real Madrid and Barcelona will move next, then Atletico Madrid will have better concentration on La Liga than two competitors.

[wmaurik]

I'm not sure if I'm the only person that have notice or it's just recent that I came across this, any season that Real Madrid song win El clasico, they hardly win the Laliga trophy, two season before now they lost El clasico to Barcelona and in the end, Barcelona won the league. That means any season Barcelona is able to win the Laliga, they do also have the power to win them in any El clasico so it's very possible that it's too late that this season belongs to Barcelona already.

However, since Barcelona is not far yet with their points, I don't want to think my theory will comfirm this season, there are lot of things and room for many things to happen. Things like having red card and losing match, things like injuries and many more unforseen circumstances that can happen to teams, it can still happen to Barcelona, Real Madrid or even Bilbao. We just have to sit, watch and enjoy more shows that will b coming from April and May.

I feel it's just a coincidence. That doesn't necessarily mean Barcelona will be able to win the La Liga or even defeat Real Madrid again in an El Classico this season. In my own opinion Barcelona haven't been cohesive enough and with many matches still to play, the title race remains wide open. Barcelona are just toping the standings with just three points and I don't think they will be able to maintain the lead.

Regardless of anything I also think that these things are just coincidences and we have to look at the team's strength realistically throughout this season and it is undeniable that Barcelona's strength this season is much better than the previous season.

Fierce competition is happening now and not only for Barcelona and Real Madrid but there is Atletico Madrid who also has sufficient strength this season so that the competition is much fiercer and if you look at the percentage of course it will be different because there are 3 teams that have the same chance to win the La Liga title.
And I am actually pessimistic about Real Madrid this season because their performance has not been stable and has not improved since the beginning of the season.

We have seen that happen over the years and it has kept on repeating years after years. So we ain't expecting anything different from them this time. Atletico Madrid will not win the league believe me. Not when Real Madrid and Barcelona are this close to them.

But they are not, so since they ain't struggling but in good forms, Atletico Madrid will always be the odd Man in their midst. They don't have this winning mentality that Barcelona and Real Madrid players have developed over the years.

I certainly expect something good from them, that is, I expect something different from them. Atletico Madrid are doing well this season so we can have hope from them. See Atletico Madrid has already been able to defeat Barcelona, which could be a positive side for them, and we also saw that Atletico Madrid had a draw against Real Madrid. I observed that Atletico Madrid was able to win the trophy in the 20-21 season, since then they could not play the same way for which they had not achieved the desired results, but they might have a little chance of this season. Maybe it would be much more important for Atletico Madrid to definitely win against Getafe.

I also have the same thought. When both teams have to meet in the Champions League, then one of them will definitely be eliminated early, so whoever it is will have an advantage in La Liga as they will no longer focus on many things, and they will have more time to rest (less games to play).

If it's Atletico Madrid, then they should really be able to take advantage of that situation, as they also have some good chances to overtake Barcelona, where they will still face Barcelona face to face (Atletico Madrid must win the match), and there is still El Clasico game, which can give Atletico Madrid an advantage (if it ends in a draw).

[giammangiato]

Lewandowski and Mbappe continue their battle, but they seem static now.

I somehow don't think k Lewandowski will get the golden boot this time around unless he starts scoring like he did earlier this season and somehow Mbappe could close up the gap in just two games if care isn't taken.. his last hattrick really boosted his position because  I knew Raphinha was somehow close to him...
Lewy is kinda slow when it comes to attacking but he still has the stamina and shot a little ( not like before though..) but he's still wonderful at that his age fr.

Now for Antony, he just has to continue to improve his performance while the future will be decided after the end of the season of course.

Next season will tel alot so for now he should continue to enjoy his social media hype  .

Many do not understand in my opinion Robert Lewandowski's skill, i see him as a complete player who helps the team in many moments and above all in dressroom.
I like not only as a footballer, but also as a man and as the captain of a team he manages to take by the hand and lead to victory. Inf you can understand me

[bastisisca]

Lewandowski still has poor efficiency, a low percentage of scoring chances, he is lucky that this season he has much more of these chances. It is generally a pity that so far Mbappe (or someone else) has not raised the bar to the level of the Ronaldo-Messi era, now the favorite for the golden boot is Salah with 25 goals scored. But this is a ridiculous figure if you remember the past. La Liga must regain its leadership in this area.

I absolutely agree with you, let's say that the real champions in my opinion are in other contexts and in other championships.
Let's say that it is an honest worker and does what they pay for it, so better than that it cannot be asked.
Then he also begins to have an age, we cannot expect the lightining at boot that young people have.

Atletico Madrid are very strong this season. It is impossible to remove them from the list of title winners. Even this season they have been able to perform competitively against strong teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, the successful teams of La Liga, and have been able to defeat Barcelona. Even they have been undefeated for about 14-15 matches this season, depending on their strong defense, which has listed Atletico Madrid among the best. The next matches of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who are at the top of the point table, are certainly important. The change in position between wins and losses of both teams depends on it.

Robert Lewandowski is no longer in his prime, when we watch the Poland International in his peak was when he play in Bayern Munich jersey. This was the best form for Robert Lewandowski, he banged stunning goals and won trophies with the Bavarians, but moving to join the Spanish side, he only accumulate very little of his accomplishments in his former club. Robert Lewandowski is a tangible solid attacker for Barcelona. He's scoring for goals for the club and also consider an important tool under Hansi Flick. Although there are certain scenario where Robert Lewandowski is been spotted to missed bigger chances towards goal scoring.

[G_Besar]

Barcelona & Osasuna
Barcelona are going to regard this game as their home ground from the first whistle,they hope to control the environment with sharp possession and continual attacking flair. Osasuna is rather well-organized defensively, but that’s when Barca’s nonstop pressing and creativity will likely expose their flaws. Barca will win 3-1, I think

Osasuna are not a difficult opponent for Barcelona to beat this weekend because this is not just about the home ground for Barcelona but more about the opportunity to take full points to stay at the top of the standings and create distance with Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. So apart from Barcelona having to win, they also have to hope that two other teams do not win this weekend, namely Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, although both teams will also meet opponents who are not so strong. However, I think Madrid must be more wary of Rayo this weekend because Rayo Vallecano often make big teams find it difficult to win matches.

Effort and utilization of opportunity is what made trophy, so those years of 2020 to the next year was the time of Atletico Madrid utilization of opportunity because the clubs that should have cut them was not resourceful, so the season became very soft for them but since then they usually try but end on the road, though is a privilege for them to even have the La Liga trophy just five years ago, however this 2024-25 la Liga is among the hottest La Liga because I consider it hottest since is unrealistic about the club for it and even those point they have are not helping to predict accurately.

Atletico always work so hard in the la liga in most of their recent seasons but they only get to the Champions League when they end up in the top four positions in the league table. 5 years is quite a long time for them to stay without winning the La Liga again even with their awesome performances in the last 5 years and they have got good quality strikers and defenders but they always feel tired along the line and begin to drop points which often leads to either Real Madrid or Barcelona claiming the title even when Atletico could have been presented with a better chance and opportunity of getting the title.

The La Liga is in a very hot stage right now between the traditional top three teams which makes it hard to conclude on which amongst them can be capable of lifting the trophy but i don't underestimate the power of Atletico Madrid because with the pattern they are using, if Real Madrid and Barcelona drops a little bit in form again and Atletico Madrid takes the lead, they will likely win the title this season because i am not sure of Barcelona regardless they are topping the table.

[Frankolala]

I don't think it's a one-time thing though. Madrid has been really inconsistent this season and a lot of times they've been bailed by the individual quality in their squad. Madrid has so much quality that any player can produce a moment of magic at any time and that is what happened against Atleti.
Days when the individual quality doesn't impress or when the opponent play better, they suffer.

I don't think Madrid would be able to win the La liga because they will still drop more points in the league. I agree that the other 2 teams will drop points, but not as much as Madrid. The champions league and Copa del Rey are the only hope of Silverware for Madrid this season.

I'm not sure if I'm the only person that have notice or it's just recent that I came across this, any season that Real Madrid song win El clasico, they hardly win the Laliga trophy, two season before now they lost El clasico to Barcelona and in the end, Barcelona won the league.

The thing is that while everyone is guessing and arguing who will win the title this season - Barcelona or Real Madrid - it is quite likely that the title will be won by Atletico Madrid, which is mentioned much less often, despite the fact that they are in great form now and they are sure to use any mistake of Real and Barcelona to climb to the first line. I think it would be at least beautiful if they took the top spot.

Don't be surprised that people are mostly picking between Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the league because they have been the most consistent over the years, when it comes to the league titles.

They don't have this winning mentality that Barcelona and Real Madrid players have developed over the years.

On point. Real Madrid and Barcelona are so mean when it comes to winning titles, and they will never get tired. However, let's not underestimate Atletico because they have a good squad this season compared to previous seasons. These set of players might have the motivational spirit to be desperate for the title this season. It's good to see them competing with the league favorites.

Here is Lewandowski's stats so far in the La Liga this season.

Having an average of nearly 1.00 goals per game isn't bad at all. Yeah it isn't perfect performance considering the general stats but at least better than last season.  

When it comes to setting the bar at Messi and Ronaldo's level, it is really not an easy job for any player in today's football I think. Messi and Ronaldo made us get used to scoring at least 50-60 goals in one season but those were really extraordinary stats. If Mbappe manages to reach that level he will surely be a legend just like them.

And it is true that when it comes to the La Liga title, there is more than enough clubs that are qualified to participate, but you see, Madrid and Barcelona are always fighting for the title with all seriousness, real Madrid might not even give to much seriousness but when it comes to the champions league they are ever ready to do everything in there power to win the champions league and that is one of the reasons they have been able to win it on different occasion.

Barcelona gives more meaning to the la liga than any other league, and if not now, just because of Messi and Ronaldo, games became more interesting to watch does period than ever because it did not even amount to anything. and if  you look at it atlectico did not even do anything serious last season and that is why them popping up from no were is actually a lot to take because the tittle is now with the three of them.

[SquallLeonhart]

The small gap between the top three teams will effectively make this season a tough one for them, they can't give up, they can't use their bench, they can't use their youth players. They just have to keep on working hard while also playing at UCL as well. I am guessing Real Madrid will beat Atletcio Madrid but that would also cause Real Madrid to play more UCL games, meanwhile Atletico Madrid would not play those games, resting a lot more often and this could be a problem.

Because Real Madrid players would be tired, whereas ATM players would be rested and this could cause ATM to play better while Real Madrid to play worse. Barcelona also could continue by the looks of it as well, so that is going to be a tough season.

I think there is going to be a stage where one or two teams will fell off. Barcelona has tasted the first place before, Real Madrid has also done the same and also Atletico Madrid and all of them has reposition. All those times they had change, Barcelona lost a our 4 games within that period and draw some, Real Madrid lose 1 and draw many and Atletico Madrid draw more and that's how their games change to now, so I expect the same thing to happen atleast once before we reach the end of the season.

The reason why you see that we don't have much gap yet is because each of the team is playing with sense, they don't want to do a mistake but pressure is coming as many of the still remain in the Champions League, as one or two lose their, they will come back here and channel all their energy to win the Laliga and by that time, anyone that is far behind wouldn't be able to catch up again, that's when we can determine the winner of the season trophy.

[RaltcoinsB]

Atletico Madrid is performing very well against both Barcelona and Real Madrid. When we think about it this way, it is obvious that they are the third candidate for the championship. Apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is also one of the teams competing for the championship. Despite their good performance in the Champions League, they could not avoid defeat, but things may change for them in the return match. They have quality players who can do everything at any time. Therefore, we cannot say that they will definitely lose. I think they will be in the championship race until the end of the league.
