La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Adbitco]

All these facts are should be alarming, because despite the fact that many players have returned from national teams and have not had time to rest properly, bookmakers still consider Barcelona as a clear favorite with odds of 1.27 to win and it is very strange. Osasuna is in 14th place in La Liga and is not an outsider or a contender for relegation, so Osasuna is quite capable of playing a draw, given that in its lineup Ante Budimir, who has already scored 15 goals this season, and the Barcelona lineup will not be optimal, so I would not be as confident in the victory of Barcelona as bookmakers and to score a goal and try to draw with Barcelona Osasuna probably should.

That's because even Flick decides to rotate 80% of his first 11, they are still stronger than Osasuna. What bookies look out for mainly is team strength, team depth, previous meetings that's H2H and sometimes team names. For instance, we all know that Manchester City is deep in form from the Premier League but even if they meet a team like Nottingham Forest that's above them, there's every chance that Manchester City will still get a smaller odd compared to Nottingham Forest.

[bitLeap]

On one of the special sites that I use, I dropped a long-term bet on Barcelona as a team with candidates to win the trophy this season in La Liga. And so far it can be seen that the portfolio gives a good signal. Although this is just an unpopular bet, so far I use it without fear of losing anything because it is provided free for those of us who have been there for a long time.

For instance, we all know that Manchester City is deep in form from the Premier League but even if they meet a team like Nottingham Forest that's above them, there's every chance that Manchester City will still get a smaller odd compared to Nottingham Forest.

You can't compare Nottingham vs City and Barcelona vs Osasuna because Osasuna is much stronger and it will be a match between the favourites and the underdog, otherwise it will be an even match between teams from the top of the table. And Flick won't change 80% of the starting lineup to see if they can beat Osasuna in this way, I don't even think they can, look at how the first match between these teams in La Liga this season ended.

[yudi09]

Although there are players who are injured while playing for the national team, I think Barcelona still has a chance to win this postponed match against Osasuna.
From the list of injured players in the Barcelona squad that I saw, there are names like Raphinha but that is not an obstacle for Flick even though the former Bayern and Germany coach still considers Osasuna a strong team.
2 goals, means this match can be strengthened at over at least over 2.5, but on the betting site, over 2.5 is not available.

Barcelona's front line does not depend entirely on an attacking midfielder like Raphinha even though the player has scored more goals for Barcelona this season. Because Flick can still rely on Yamal, Ferran and Lopez to make their attack line strong because it is true as you said that Flick will still consider the Osasuna team as a strong team so that Barcelona will never underestimate their opponent in this weekend's match. But for the number of goals, I can't make a clear guess because for now I don't think Osasuna is capable of scoring goals against Barcelona.

Barcelona's line-up predictions today against Osasuna are very different. Barcelona's attack line will be equipped with Yamal, Olmo and Lopez to help Ferran as the spearhead.
This is not much different from what you predicted about the line-up that Flick will play.
Barcelona has rarely used target man from time to time. When Lewandowski came, he became a player in that position. Previously there were David Villa and Henry.

I still predict that this match will create more than 2 goals. Barcelona can score an average of 2 goals and whether Osasuna is able to score goals, that's what I can't predict because their goal productivity is also not good.

[Majestic-milf]

 With Flick complaining that his men didn't get much rest since some of them just returned from international duty not too long ago and now have their game with Osasuna, don't you think the performance of Barcelona will drop a bit? In other way too, if you look, 80% of the squad members are Spanish and they finished their game earlier on so what's with him making a fuss. The way Barcelona are now, I feel that even though they have just one day to get ready for a game they can still give a beautiful performance.
 Madrid and Barcelona are on the same points so winning this game is a must so that they can have an edge over their competition and even though Osasuna can cause trouble for them, I still don't think they will be so troublesome enough as to cost them the three points.

[koang]

You do know how determine Atletico Madrid have been this season, but they've been unable to reach any possible solid target for themselves, always coming out third position because it's been their routine for the season. The fans have already started to lay their complaints because they're unable to have a mastermind for stellar performance of the club.

Atletico Madrid coach, Diego Simeone is okay with his team current form, there's no way Los Colchoneros can top the table whereas there's presence of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid are not just ready to win the league following their underperformed stats and lack of confidence to actually point out what's facts.

Simeone knows that the season of atletico madrid has been very beautiful and exciting, they also played very well, not by chance in the Champions League they were thrown out on penalties, but it is difficult to overcome Real Madrid and Barcelona

The reason is consistency, they are consistent in winning easy matches, is all a question of concentration and measuring out energy, something Flick and Ancelotti are very good at

Atletico Madrid has been so poor away this season, but on their home soil, it’s a different thing altogether.
Atletico Madrid is competing in all competitions, and Diego Simeone is proving that Atletico is a team with a strong mentality...
However, I felt there were situations where they could have done better but didn’t. They could have done more.
And I really sympathise with Atletico. They’re only a couple of players away from surpassing Barca and Real.

[bastisisca]

Barcelona must win this match to get 3 points, this will make the difference between them and Real more comfortable, Barcelona should approach this match responsibly, so as not to lose points in a home match against a weaker opponent. Real is close, that is why they need to do everything possible to break away from them, in the remaining matches this may come in handy. Atletico seems to be already out of the championship race.

Unfortunately Osasuna are tied with Girona and this season they are not doing so well as their 13-14 position shows that they have little difference and that has not been enough to stop Real Madrid in this week's match, as well as Barcelona they face Girona who last season looked much better than Osasuna, both have the potential to lose, but both also have the potential to get a bigger victory, here depending on who can get the first match then they will be in a safe situation to be at the top of the table as a potential winner.

Barcelona, like other teams that aim to win the championship, must win against weaker opponents to distance themselves from Real Madrid (in the case of Barcelona)
If you start losing easy games (like Napoli did against Como) you do nothing but jeopardise the race towards victory.

Also even if athletic he seems out of the running, we can never underestimate them, football is so unpredictable

[Baki202]

The game against Osasuna tells how Barcelona is going to stay strong leading the table, previous game against Osasuna took them for the biggest number of goals recorded against Hansi Flick, 4 goals were scored against Barcelona, the game ended with Osasuna adding up the 3 points. Barcelona is to realize that this game to be played means to them great deal, if they want the title then they have to win this game, sharing points with Madrid isn't the best place to stay on the table, they will still be on top but it won't be easy on them if the Champions League game begin and they have to compete intensively on both competition when they supposed to be adjusting their players to maintaining the lead instead of fighting for the first position.

And tonight is the game, and we already know who is going to be favored in this game, and it won't be more than Barcelona because they obviously are doing better, and I have full assurance that they are going to do better, and even if they are staying strong on the table, anything can still happen. Have we forgotten that Real Madrid is still there and they will give Barcelona an easy win so and we all should know that Madrid can even allow Barcelona to win and focus on the Champions League because Real Madrid is more into the Champions League than even La Liga? They feel they have more privileges in winning the Champions League than La Liga.

Because they have done it multiple times, allowing Barcelona to win, it does not go the way they planned it. This is another reason why they always win their own league. I won't even lie; this season looks longer and is becoming uninteresting.

[Promocodeudo]

yes, real madrid and barcelona have always challenged each other in a spectacular way to win the league since the past, after all they are the two strongest teams in the league, not by chance
In my opinion, much of their strength comes from a very large fan base that allows them to raise a lot of money and therefore be able to invest

That's what is repeating itself this time, Barcelona and Realmadrid has the same points as it is, just that Barcelona has an outstanding match which they are supposed to win but with the present reality both teams are always in log ahead in the their league race sometimes when the league title reach this stage in some seasons, though it is possible to win the league with just 3points that's if Barcelona win their outstanding match but what matters is how consistent they gonna be after then, the truth is that both team can not win the league title, it must be just one of them and with what am seeing it will take a high level of consistency for such to happen, obviously am seeing this season as one of the most interesting season in the Spanish laliga but let's see how it ends.

[Uruhara]

With several players who may still be tired, Barcelona may not be as strong as usual. But still Barcelona will be the favorite to win the match. And Barcelona will also have the ambition to beat Osasuna this time. Because in the previous meeting, if I remember correctly, Osasuna managed to beat Barcelona, ​​right? and yes, Barcelona will be motivated to avenge their defeat in today's match.

Because if Barcelona fails to get full points in this match then it means Barcelona cannot restore their reputation which was previously defeated by Osasuna in their last meeting. Osasuna is by no means a weak team. But their strengths and Barcelona are actually a little different. So even with the current conditions, Barcelona should still be able to overcome Osasuna's game. Although several Barcelona players may be absent. But the players available I think are enough if only to beat Osasuna.

Mbappé, Vinícius among 4 Real Madrid players being investigated by UEFA after Atletico game

NYON, Switzerland (AP) — Four Real Madrid players including Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior are being investigated for alleged “indecent conduct” during the Champions League game at Atletico Madrid, UEFA said on Thursday.

UEFA said it appointed a disciplinary inspector to study the unspecified allegations at the round of 16 game on March 12. The case also involves Antonio Rüdiger and Dani Ceballos.

Video clips circulating on social media showed Mbappé grabbing his crotch during celebrations on the field for Madrid winning a penalty shootout.

Any ban imposed would force a player to miss Madrid’s game at Arsenal on April 8 in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals after the shootout against Atletico. Rüdiger scored the decisive spot kick and led teammates in an exuberant dancing run around Atletico’s home field.

Barcelona needs to try their best in order for them to win Osasuna, otherwise, they'll have to fight till the end of the season on pressure to make sure Madrid does not take over them. I feel this is the best opportunity for Barcelona to widen the point gap, because we don't know the unforeseen challenges that might come up in future before the end of the season. It's an important match for Barcelona.

The game against Osasuna tells how Barcelona is going to stay strong leading the table, previous game against Osasuna took them for the biggest number of goals recorded against Hansi Flick, 4 goals were scored against Barcelona, the game ended with Osasuna adding up the 3 points. Barcelona is to realize that this game to be played means to them great deal, if they want the title then they have to win this game, sharing points with Madrid isn't the best place to stay on the table, they will still be on top but it won't be easy on them if the Champions League game begin and they have to compete intensively on both competition when they supposed to be adjusting their players to maintaining the lead instead of fighting for the first position.

I don't think the match between Barcelona and Osasuna can be used to measure anything about the Barcelona because Osasuna are no match to them in any way. It will just be one easy match that Barcelona will use to increase their goal scored incase then end the season with the same point as Real Madrid, then goal difference will do the magic. In other words, Barcelona will win the match with that low odd of 1.25 and I expect them to score many goals as well, which is what I will measure their success with based on what I already stated before.

Hopefully all these problems can be resolved well. because I still hope Real Madrid will play with their maximum squad in the quarter-finals. I don't want any player to be banned from playing in the next match in the UCL. And I hope that all of this is just a misunderstanding that can be resolved in a good way without any big restrictions or drama. Because all that will only ruin the fun. But I also hope that this can make all players more careful and better able to maintain their attitude so that everyone feels comfortable and doesn't let anyone get offended by it.

The rivalry between the two teams in the hunt for the title always provides excitement for their fans, this season they are also at the forefront of the competition at the top of the standings. Barcelona relies more on academy players to improve the team's strength, while Real Madrid prefers to bring in top players because they have healthy finances. The role of fans greatly influences the atmosphere on the field, but the central point lies in the performance of the players. It must be admitted that Barcelona is currently better than Real Madrid in maintaining its performance.

[AprilioMP]

We feel that professional players like robots are not humans. Those who are chosen to strengthen the national team will return to the club to play in more than one competition like players who strengthen Barcelona.
Flick targets 3 points in the match against Osasuna but I feel that some players are not in good fitness conditions.
If it fails to get full points, then Flick makes the chance to win the La Liga Trophy will be more challenged.

Barcelona will play more matches in the next 15 days, of course this will cause concern for Flick about the physical condition of his players, and I think Flick is a genius he will find a solution so that all these matches can be played well and also get full points, Barcelona is currently arguably a team that is so productive in terms of scoring and they can score from the main players and also the substitute players that's why I am optimistic about them because Barcelona is currently in the right hands.

Playing in front of their own fans against Osasuna of course this is easy for Barcelona for me, with the sharpness they have makes me not hesitate to choose them in betting especially against Osasuna where they have never felt victory in the last 6 matches, and Barcelona is my favorite in this bet.

To win, I think it is still on Barcelona's side. Although the players are still tired, with the spirit of three points to secure the standings from the pursuit of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, then it will be an addition or cure for their fatigue for those who strengthen the national team from the international break.

Barcelona will play a short game with high percent ball possession so that strategically it will make Osasuna have difficulty because of the dominance of the game they do throughout the match.
With the dominance of young players, of course their stamina cannot be used as an excuse that they are tired.

If they had more options, I think Barcelona would also choose to bring in many great players bought from other clubs. Unfortunately, they have problems related to the financial crisis that has continued to haunt them for the last few seasons, and that's why they rely more on their academy instead of buying new players. This is different from Madrid, where they can bring in many players every season. It's just that Madrid doesn't always go on a spending spree, and there are even some star players who are signed for free.

With several players who may still be tired, Barcelona may not be as strong as usual. But still Barcelona will be the favorite to win the match. And Barcelona will also have the ambition to beat Osasuna this time. Because in the previous meeting, if I remember correctly, Osasuna managed to beat Barcelona, ​​right? and yes, Barcelona will be motivated to avenge their defeat in today's match.

I don't think it will be a hardcore tussle for the Catalan side, although some of their players were a bit exhausted due to the international break. But honestly, Hansi Flick's boys look more dominant they have more chances to make a decent display against the Avengers... However, I hope Barcelona will be never make any doubt in this match. They will do all of their best efforts to get the 3 points successfully.

But anyway match is going to start in a an hour. Barcelona has announced its lineup. Lewandowski will be rested. You can check the lineup up below. Lewandowski absence can be concluded as a bit of a lack but I hope Hansi Flick will be able to manage it well.

Let's see what happens next....

Barcelona fielded their best squad and it is inseparable from their target to be able to get full points to maintain their position at the top of the standings and maintain the distance with their two rivals who are currently competing for the La Liga title this season, so I do not doubt that they will win the match against Osasuna.

I am very sure that Barcelona will be able to play the match later easily, because they are playing at home and also overall Barcelona's quality is slightly better than Ossuna.

Doesn't this look a bit like it's too decisive already? I mean sure they are leading and yes I would say they have the highest chance too, but not THAT much. I would say if I was making it, I would put "others" into zero, since there is absolutely no way that anyone else would win, this is done and either Barcelona or Real Madrid will win it.

Atletico Madrid basically lost their chance, so I would say maybe a 10% to them would be fine. So the rest would be like 55% to Barcelona and 35% to Real Madrid maybe? Or a 50-40 split? That would make a lot more sense. Just a small difference between them so the betting or the odds or the chance whatever this chart is showing should not be this much obvious and big at the time.

With the absence of several players such as Lewandowski, Rapinha of course this is not easy for Barcelona. Indeed, the Barcelona squad is better than Osasuna but learning from the previous match, the proof is that Osasuna managed to beat Barcelona with a convincing score of 4-2. Moreover, in this match many Barcelona squads were absent, plus many players were tired, Yamal in the Spanish team played for 120 minutes, now he is a starter, this proves that Hansi Flick really does not underestimate Osasuna.

I predict this match will not be easy for Barcelona, ​​​​even if they win, they will not win easily. For Osasuna to steal points, it is very potential if they take advantage of the fatigue of the Barcelona players. Yes. let's see, whether Barcelona can widen the gap with Real Madrid or vice versa.
