La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Olatundespo]

Real Madrid's next game will be against Leganes, which is an easy game for Real Madrid, and they will definitely win this game and will be level with Barcelona on 63 points, but Barca's greater goal difference will keep them at the top of the table unless Real scores 19 goals in this game.

Real Madrid is struggling to score many goals as they used to do. It depends of course but I find them in the previous years way better than this.
Do not forget also that Real Madrid will play one game more than Barcelona once they defeat Leganes, so theoretically will remain 3 points behind of them.
Carlo Ancelotti is aware of his team problems but didn't figure out how to run his players/machine effectively.

If the outcome of a match is random then this equation can easily be changed. Barcelona knows that the difference of 3 points is not a big difference at all, that's why they don't want to make mistakes in any match. If in any match Barcelona makes a mistake and Real Madrid does well, then Barcelona will fall behind and Real Madrid will once again go to the top of the points table. The competition in this league is going to be tough and whichever team Barcelona Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid wins the title will ultimately compete hard and then win the title.

I agree with you. The new equation for the series placement will make the competition between these three teams even more intense and I believe that the best team among them will win the trophy. There will be more chances for Real Madrid and if they win the next match they will be in the same position with Barcelona. In the meantime, they will have to do better to close the points gap with Atletico Madrid. There is still a chance for Atletico to be the best as well as for Real Madrid. The competition is going to be much bigger in the upcoming matches.

Last night Barcelona managed to beat Osasuna very easily, I think this is very natural. Considering Barcelona's performance is very different from Osasuna's performance. So with this, it is natural that Barcelona was able to win easily in this match. In this match Barcelona was able to score 3 goals scored by Torres, Olmo, and Lewandowski. But unfortunately in this match Yamal did not score a goal, even though I really wanted to see Yamal score a goal in this match. But that's okay, because Yamal also played very well in this match and was able to make a full contribution to Barcelona's victory. So even though Yamal did not score a goal in this match, it can be said that he had an important role in this match. And with this victory Barcelona is currently able to lead 3 points over Real Madrid, I think this is an advantage for Barcelona to be able to continue to provide distance to Real Madrid.

It's not just about goals, Yamal shows his best in every game with his contribution that will make the fans celebrate, because demanding young players like Yamal to continue to prove themselves is something that forces and can frustrate players, in the match against Osasuna Yamal made 4 shots and also had an important pass key for Barcelona it was extraordinary, and I also expected more from him but we need to see him in the future so that he develops well.
...

Yamal had another great game, and even without scoring, his impact was massive. It's incredible how, at just 17, he's fearless in taking on defenders, creating chances, and working for the team. Just four days ago, he played 120 minutes for Spain, yet he still gives everything on the pitch. At this age, fatigue isn’t as much of a factor—there’s just that pure hunger to keep playing. With time, that changes, but for now, we should just enjoy watching him thrive.

You are right. 3 points is still not enough, but at least they have a 3-point difference with Real Madrid, and we have already talked about it here. After winning this match, the chance of getting the title will increase, and they won the match and secured 3 points.

However, right now I believe Barcelona will do everything possible to continue winning their matches, so there will be a big gap in the table between them and Real Madrid. I’m still hoping that Barcelona will be the winner of the La Liga title this season. Atlético Madrid are not even among the clubs in the title race despite being in the top 3.

Barcelona could actually face possible points deduction against Osasuna, from the news around if Osasuna happens to file for a complaint against Barcelona. The question is, don't club management know these rules?

Per FIFA rules, players who withdraw from duty for their country cannot play for their clubs until at least five days after the end of the international break unless the participation had been officially cleared by the federation, in this case, the RFEF.

Could Barcelona forfeit win against Osasuna? La Liga side plan appeal after Barca accused of breaking FIFA rules

Based in FIFA rules Barcelona have committed an offense. Footballers who pulled out of an international match would not be eligible to play until after five days. Inigo Martinez was changed when it was said he has sustained a knee injury. Now four days after he played ninety minutes in the match between Barcelona and Osasuna.

The question is, don't club management know these rules?

Ignorance is not an excuse before the law. A big club like Barcelona will have qualified lawyers and other officials who are always abreast with football governing laws. They wouldn't claim that they are not aware or someone didn't do their job. A three-point reduction will be bad news for Barca, but it will be good for Osasuna, Real Madrid and others that are fighting for the top spot.

Lamine Yamal is one of the most promising players. At just 17 years old, he has already joined the ranks of the world's most important players. I don't know his future, but his progress reminds me of Messi's youth. Yamal has a touch of Messi in him. We can't say yet whether Yamal will be able to compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the list of the best players of all time. But I wish him a good future and I trust him that one day he will reach the number one spot in the list of the best players of his time.

This is the best Barcelona can give since the game looks like they were forced to play the outstanding game yesterday, what I never expected was them getting 3 goals, a clean sheet and dominating the game to the extent that Osasuna could not even get hold of the ball in their 18yard, it was really an impressive performance from Barcelona. Girona game on Sunday won't be as simple as last night, even if Girona wasn't as good as they used to be last season they'll remember how their encounter against Barcelona went the last time they met and they'd like to make some corrections. At this stage I don't expect Barca to draw or lose any game that's if they want to maintain that number spot because Real Madrid are also hoping to be in that position including Atletico Madrid even if they're 4 point behind the league leaders.

Barcelona really dominate the game since from the first half. finally flick as give real madrid gap in the league table that will cause madrid to not win the laliga this season. But they are still some games left in the competition, Barcelona can probably lose some game in front or draw and give madrid more opportunities to catch them in the league table. I didn't expect Barcelona will play Osasuna very tough, what a very good performance from Barcelona players. Flick as be doing very great this season and have started believing flick will achieve the league trophy and even the Champions league this season. There next game against Girona will be easy for them to get another three point, because Girona are not performing like before and I don't think they can stop Barcelona from winning the match. And by the weekend I think the rest players should have come back from the international break.  I think remain eleventh matches for Barcelona before the season finishes, if Barcelona can keep the clean sheet and win 8 games in a row. am very sure the league will be Barcelona's advantage this season. But with how am seeing I think some clubs can still stop Barcelona from winning some games and make it difficult for them this season to achieve the trophy.

Real Madrid will be hopeful again, if they can win the next El Clasico match because that's where they have their next chance. If they fail to win that match, Barcelona will win the league. Currently, I don't see Barcelona ready to lose any of their upcoming matches in Laliga because they are after winning the trophy.

Even real madrid win the next El clasico Barcelona will still be topping the league if not Barcelona lose point. So before the second leg real madrid need to be praying Barcelona to lose point so that they can get the opportunity to top the league If they play the El clasico and succeed. but that won't be easy because Barcelona are playing at home and with Barcelona performance this season, in my opinion they can probably succeed against Real Madrid in the second leg again, Real Madrid need to pick more form. if they what to achieve the league this season again. Barcelona are doing better then them and madrid are strongly to win matches, so they are different. Real Madrid next game am sure they will get three point with Leganes, because they are not in a good shap this season. Let see how Madrid will handle them in the game. Ancelotti still beleave that he can achieve another trophy with Real Madrid before he leave the clubs and I think if he can improve more then Barcelona they can achieve the league and even the ucl. And am hearing some of madrid players are investigate by there celebrations against Athletico Madrid fans in the ucl match, but In my opinion I didn't see anything wrong with that.

The competition in this league is going to be tough and whichever team Barcelona Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid wins the title will ultimately compete hard and then win the title.

A small point gap will always show a fiercer competition until the end of the season because all three teams are still quite aware of their own chances in this season although it must also be seen from the possibilities that can happen to them in the next few matches. For now, all three teams still have the potential to win the remaining matches even though Atletico Madrid is seven points behind Barcelona, ​​but Atletico Madrid should not be written off as a candidate to compete for the title this season because there is still time for them to reduce the points gap.

[dezoel]

Real Madrid and Barcelona has played 28 matches so far and Barcelona are topping the league with 3 points after 28 matches played. If Real Madrid play their next match and win, Barcelona will also play their next match and possibly win. I think the match that Barcelona played yesterday was the game they had in hand, because it appeared that real Madrid had played more matches than Barcelona prior to yesterday match against Osasuna. Now that the match played has been levelled between the two teams this is were the real competition begin. Real Madrid would have benefited if Barcelona had lost the match or played draw. Barcelona will not make it easy for Madrid this season.

After 28 rounds now Barcelona at the top with just two matches are difficult for them in remaining 10 rounds and Real Madrid also needs two games for turning tables but El Clásico derby which is going to play at Barcelona home big threat for their chances.

Barcelona current form is amazing they are destroying their opponents while their defense is also had impressive depth which giving them good balance for having title into their custody Hansi Flick strategy is also good which giving his players good time on and off which is important for keeping things on level. La Liga is having good competitiveness at the top with Atlético Madrid lost their confidence in last few games and now out of way but still three teams were having good balance which is important.

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.

I'm not a stickler, but I totally agree with this sanction.
Players need to learn that you shouldn't be an asshole and that you need to behave in a good sporting manner.
Not so much for me, but for the example they have to give of sport to children, for example!

Lamine Yamal is one of the most promising players. At just 17 years old, he has already joined the ranks of the world's most important players. I don't know his future, but his progress reminds me of Messi's youth. Yamal has a touch of Messi in him. We can't say yet whether Yamal will be able to compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the list of the best players of all time. But I wish him a good future and I trust him that one day he will reach the number one spot in the list of the best players of his time.

Your conversation is correct that Lamine Yamal is a very promising player, we see a lot of latent talent in him. Lamine Yamal is able to play in a very promising way at a young age, which is completely surprising to us all, just like Kylian Mbappe was able to perform in a similar way when he was young. I often see many people comparing this spanish young star player to a legendary player, right now you mentioned whether he can compete with Messi and Ronaldo on the list of the best players of all time.

His progress is in the early stages, so he may not be able to make it to the list of best players from here. I think If the Spanish Lamin Yamal was at the top of La Liga's top goal collection right now, then this would definitely be a good indicator of progress for him.

[Pandorak]

It was like a walk in the park for Barça. So easy!  

It seemed like the national break didn't cause most of the players to underperform here. Some worn players like Raphinha didn't play but it didn't change anything. Just like I thought, Yamal carried the team.

Now they had better take a good rest because they have only 2 days to prepare for the Girona game ahead. It is also a home game which is a plus at least. I don't expect huge difficulties for them again.

To be honest i wasn't surprised by Barcelona win in this game, with their excellent form this season, beating Osasuna was no mean feat, but what wasn't expected was for this game to be a moment of carnage, Osasuna finished the game without a single goal, this is what makes them even more depressed, being at the bottom of the table makes things worse, plus their form has been getting worse this season.

Unlike Barcelona, this victory makes their chances of becoming champions this season even more wide open, hopefully the performance of the players remains like this, it must even be improved to be even better, because it does not rule out the possibility that they can bring home the trophy this season .

[Raflesia]

Barcelona is still too tough for Osasuna because until now because looking at the situation that happened it seems that 3 points are definitely they get back with a 3-goal advantage now.

Barcelona's victory against Osasuna was predicted, from the composition of the squad and tactics, as well as H2H, there is no doubt that Barcelona can get a victory from this match. And when we look at the match statistics, they dominate in everything.

The previous doubt in the pre-match is the fatigue factor of the players who do have a fairly tight schedule when they do matches in various types of competitions coupled with international breaks that make this one of the concerns of many people but in the end Barcelona is still quite capable of doing good stability in the matches they do.

Flick can still maximize the scheme with the existing players which makes this clearly an advantage for Barcelona because they are still quite organized in this regard.
But even so this also cannot be a benchmark that they will continue to be in good condition forever because indeed the victory in this match although there are several things to consider but on the other hand this has also been predicted from the start because indeed this will be considered an easy victory and this really happened.

Barcelona could actually face possible points deduction against Osasuna, from the news around if Osasuna happens to file for a complaint against Barcelona. The question is, don't club management know these rules?

It's obviously pointless appeal by Osasuna. I believe their management knew it very well, and even agreed to postpone the game. It's so stupid when they're doing it.

It likes they trying to shoot on somewhere else to ensure they're not to be relegated.

[GIF-JOBS]

Just as I expected, I said a long time ago that Barcelona will definitely win this match. Similarly, watching their match, you can understand how strong Barcelona performed in the match. Osasuna could not survive in front of Barcelona's strong performance, Barcelona put Osasuna under a lot of pressure from all sides throughout the match. Barcelona has been showing the best performance in every match, they are proving themselves to be a much stronger team, but on the other hand, Real Madrid is not bad in any way, but Real Madrid is not able to go above Barcelona in any way.


But let's see what happens, tomorrow we are going to see the matches of the strong teams, where there is a match of Real Madrid vs Leganés, and there is a match of Barcelona vs Girona, and tomorrow too, both Real Madrid and Barcelona will win, it is most likely.

[|MINER|]

Barcelona won the game very amicably, the match result came up according to how the fans expected, first half was a success and same goes for the second, only that perfect chance was missed by Victor, the player messed up big open chances that should have counted in this game. All the same Barcelona are topping the table, only Real Madrid remains a title contender, Atletico are very backwards and need Barcelona to lose and draw games before they can meet up.  

In the game, one supposed penalty was not given, the referee must have felt bad about awarding the penalty, already losing by two goals at the time, then issuing a second penalty, must have been the only reason but a foul was committed that deserved a penalty.

Even though my expectation was that Barcelona would score four goals in this match, I would still say that they played good as our expectation, although it would have been four goals if Victor hadn't missed a chance.

If we check Barcelona's upcoming La Liga schedule, I don't think they will face any opponents who can be the causes of their losing until May 11th. And until then, Barcelona will have played six matches, most of which they have a high chance of winning. And looking at this, Barcelona's position seems to me like Liverpool in the English Premier League.  And I think the Barcelona team will also want to win the next matches and stay ahead of the teams in second and third place.

[jaberwock]

I didn't believe until the end that Barcelona could beat Osasuna so easily, but it happened and apparently the bookmakers correctly assessed the chances of the teams. Everything was decided in the first half hour of the first half, when Olmo converted a penalty to make the score 2-0 and Osasuna had no chance to win. I thought that at least one goal Osasuna players will be able to score, but it was Barcelona's night in which Flick's team completely dominated the field.
Flick now has a fantastic win rate of 75% just like when Luis Enrique trained Barca, who has now put together a great team in PSG and is on his way to winning the Champions League.

Usually after international break things create chaos because players have unwanted stuff which give them fatigue so many were expecting this game could be tense for Barcelona but Hansi Flick done good work and bring players with good strategy which give them time for having good performance.

In early minutes of the game, having 2 goals give huge boost while Osasuna were not able to set themselves after this aggressive work after losing two games in December against Atlético Madrid and Leganés at home they regroup themselves which increase their confidence. Now they are at the top while things are also favourable for them to keep things on balance and have fair chance of winning title after having poor run-in last season while chances are high for them to complete treble as well.

[LUCKMCFLY]

His progress is in the early stages, so he may not be able to make it to the list of best players from here. I think If the Spanish Lamin Yamal was at the top of La Liga's top goal collection right now, then this would definitely be a good indicator of progress for him.

I agree with you , that would be one of the best measures that can be given to a player , just the fact of his young Age And knowing how he is playing Means that things are going in the right direction , however now we have to consider being a scorer, it is a thousand times better to do it by that metric, some will say no , but there is no point in making the best plays if you do not shine with goals , I think that now the players See it differently, they prefer to shine more in fame, or doing other types of things off the court.

[sana54210]

Obviously Ossasuna lost, because we knew that Barcelona is a greater team. I am glad that Lewa got in and scored a goal, he is doing wonderful this season and a top scorer award would be a great trophy to reward him being this good.

Now they are three points ahead again, and while I am sad about the staff that passed away which caused this game to be postponed, I am glad that we are finally at a point where everyone is at equal games count. Makes calculations easier, because while we assumed Barcelona will win this game, it is always better to have the win, then assume it. Now we are going to see how this will change, and we will see if Real Madrid will lose points before Barcelona or not, that will change so much.

And Robert Lewandowski also proved that his time is not over even though in the last few seasons his performance has declined slightly but this season Robert Lewandowski has again proven the great contribution he has made to Barcelona this season.

The victory against Osasuna is a natural thing because Barcelona does have much better quality but the consistency shown by Barcelona makes their percentage of winning the title slightly greater.
Regarding the competition for the La Liga title, it is still fierce even though Barcelona is now at the top of the standings but we can see that Barcelona's consistency is slightly better than Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid so I am quite sure Barcelona will be able to maintain its position.

[AmaGold70]

Yamal had another great game, and even without scoring, his impact was massive. It's incredible how, at just 17, he's fearless in taking on defenders, creating chances, and working for the team. Just four days ago, he played 120 minutes for Spain, yet he still gives everything on the pitch. At this age, fatigue isn’t as much of a factor—there’s just that pure hunger to keep playing. With time, that changes, but for now, we should just enjoy watching him thrive.

We can't say yet whether Yamal will be able to compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the list of the best players of all time. But I wish him a good future and I trust him that one day he will reach the number one spot in the list of the best players of his time.

It was really a huge win for Barcelona against Osasuna. Of course Lamine Yamal is playing quite good, so I think there is a huge possiblity of him to be like Messi or Ronaldo in the future if it'll be able to keep up. Because the records of Ronaldo and Messi is indeed a great one, so for a player to be like them is not a day journey, although he is still young and have a good playing skills, so I believe it might likely come through in the future.
