La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[tiCeR]

Real Madrid's performance has been very unstable lately, we saw that in the match against Leganes where Real Madrid conceded twice and had to come from behind to win, I think they have some problems with their defensive line up which has made the team to  be conceding too many goals and hardly keep clean sheets. With these kinds of performance it doesn't seem as if they would secure the la Liga title from Barcelona who's already at the top and has refused to lose any game but continue to remain consistent in all competitions, however Real madrid are a step closer to securing at least one trophy by defeating Real sociedad and would play the winner of today fixture in the second semi finals between Athletico Madrid and Barcelona tonight at the Barcelona's Olympic stadium where they currently occupy.

Unstable lately because they concede so many goals, but not unstable when you consider their results in the various battles they have had in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. They surpassed Atletico Madrid and got to the next round, they surpassed Real Sociedad and got to the next round, they are still in it for La Liga.

It is obvious what you mean and it's unbelievable how they are on the fence of losing and then still win it. I don't know whether that is luck or skill, but it is unbelievable.

[Velvet78]

Truthfully, Madrid are going through a lot and no one is seeing it. Their past two games; Leganes and the game played yesterday to Real sociedad, they have been struggling and have always escaped by a hair's breadth. It's quite obvious that Madrid aren't as in form as they are trying make people believe and with all this lucky wins they are getting, will they be always lucky with their remaining games in the Laliga and even in other competitions?
 Real Madrid are three points behind Barcelona and have been desperate to win any game they play but it's starting to show that they have a very poor defense and if they don't work on this it will cost them hugely. Ancelloti has been doing a good job so far but it would be a big blow of his boys can't lift anything this time around.

I actually agree with the thing you are stating. Real Madrid are having more difficulty in getting comfortable wins recently. First Leganes were almost stealing a point from them. And last night they barely eliminated Real Sociedad AET. 

We watched 5 goals in the last 20 minutes of the game. 3 of them came from Real Sociedad. This happened at Santiago Bernabeu man.    Ancelotti's students don't have any problem with scoring maybe. But the defense is just in horrible shape these days...

It is obvious what you mean and it's unbelievable how they are on the fence of losing and then still win it. I don't know whether that is luck or skill, but it is unbelievable.

After watching yesterday's match, one question is on my mind, why do Real Madrid win after losing time and time again? Is it their fate or the mindset of champions? Does Real Madrid know such magic that other teams don't know? Why do the opposing team lose until the end even though they are ahead the entire match? Does their fate not help them?

The matches that Real Madrid is giving this season are raising many more questions in the minds of the fans. Why are they the victims of such historical moments time and time again. They have won the matches with similar performances in the last two knockout matches. I was against Real Madrid in both matches and I had a chance to win, but the events that happened in the end made me feel like I was watching a movie.

There is nothing unexpected in this, Real's defense has not been the best for a long time and this was evident in other matches, including the matches with Barcelona. I see that Alaba's final score for the match is 5.9 and if you look at his previous games, the scores were much better, and not very good matches happen to everyone, especially since I think that he sometimes plays more cautiously after injuries, this can also be explained by the fear of getting injured again.

Absolutely agreed. Real Madrid's defence suck!!!! I saw so many creativity. I also feel amaze when Vini did something that absolutely fantastic by made two Sociedad players acted like circus. However, fucking disappointed with how garabge their defense. They need to overhaul their defense.

I also wanna blame Alaba for his stupidity in this game. I wonder why Real they offered him such big contract. They have to cancel his contract, and sell him. They have also get rid some useless defenders who are not good enough to play at their level.

I'm really gutted with how their attacking beauty gets distracted by their crap defense. Their only hope is that waiting for Carvajal and Ceballos back to the squad.

It must be a wake up call for them if they really need quality defenders. They have to get Huijsen and Saliba asap.

In the football application that I use, Alaba's rating is actually much lower than 5.9, even reaching only 4.2 (red).
I don't know how they judged it so that Alaba's rating is red. Maybe because he scored an own goal in the Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad match.

Real Madrid this season has indeed been hampered in defense. Many of the defenders played by Ancelotti are often not players whose main position is as a defender, such as Camavinga, Touchemeini and Valverde have also been played in that position several times. This is because players in the CB position are often injured.
Trent A Arnold if the process is fast to Santiago Bernabeu will be very helpful for Real Madrid's defense.

A busy schedule for Barcelona in the coming days, it's the accumulation of La Liga, Copa del Rey & UCL competitions. I think before betting on Barcelona, first we have to see the availability of the players at the club. The goal is to see the winning potential that Barcelona has.

BTW, in the last match Barcelona managed to get an easy win over Girona, didn't expect Girona to be in this bad of a condition now, whereas last season they were even able to finish in third place.
This season we cannot deny that Barcelona played with very good performance under the guidance of Hansi Flick even until now they have been able to compete tightly in all competitions so with the consistency of the current team I do not hesitate to bet on Barcelona, but in the Copa del Rey Barcelona will compete with Atletico Madrid this week in the match Hansi Flick must implement a good strategy and must not make mistakes because the Atletico Madrid team might be able to draw Barcelona like in the previous match which ended in a draw.
If this match ends in a draw, penalties will determine which team will advance. Let's remember that Atletico Madrid also played very well in the Champions League. If they use the home crowd advantage well, it would not be a surprise if they win against Barcelona because Atletico Madrid is one of the three strongest teams in Spain. They know Barcelona's weaknesses and scored four goals against them in one match. They must have analyzed how weak the defense is. As a result of these, we can talk about a victory. We cannot know exactly who will win, but I am sure we will watch very good football.

well, we need to see who is available and who is not, in any case, Barcelona has shown a good trend, for me a very positive outlook. You can see Flick's hand
It will be an interesting match to watch for sure, also because Atletico Madrid is not an easy team to face, see Real Madrid in Champions League

[AirtelBuzz]

Every team hopes they will always get good results, but sometimes circumstances change their expectations to the opposite. Barcelona are having a hard time right now and they (especially their manager) must really understand the needs of each match they will play. The closest is facing Atletico Madrid, if they want to make El Clasico in the final, they must be able to destroy Atletico at Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

Barcelona has gone through a difficult time and now they are much stronger compared to the previous season. If Barcelona manages to beat Atletico Madrid then there will be two El Clasicos that will happen later, the first in the Copa Del Rey and the second in the continuation of La Liga. This will be even more interesting when two big teams meet in the final because it will give birth to a much more competitive match.

Likewise with the competition that will occur in La Liga and now Real Madrid must fight harder in order to catch up with the three-point gap from Barcelona who are at the top of the standings.

Real Madrid have had a tougher time than Barcelona this season. I remember when they were losing badly to a weaker team. They had to go through a very challenging time to get the desired victory despite having one of the most expensive players in the world. Barcelona have been in a fairly good position since the beginning of the season and have a huge fan base all over the world. With the end of La Liga, the fans are hoping for a more attacking and better game and the possibility of winning trophies. Atletico Madrid have lost badly at the moment and their comeback may be even more difficult.

Yes, I also think that Real Madrid had a very difficult time compared to Barcelona this season. This team is constantly moving forward to become even stronger, but in yesterday's match, Real Madrid once again showed signs of their weak defense. The score line of this match was a draw, meaning that both Real Sociedad and Real Madrid clubs were able to score the same number of goals in the time they played. Even the Real Madrid club you mentioned at the time and the player you mentioned were not in form. Moreover it may also have been completely unsuitable for that new environment. By the way, there are still good times for Real Madrid, it is very important for them to correction from here.

[Promocodeudo]

We have to pay attention to how Lewandowski has been performing recently, if he can perform better than all other young footballers at this age then I think there is no reason to worry too much about his age. It is true that Lewandowski is doing great for Barcelona at the moment and is either scoring or assisting goals in every match. If his performances are like this regularly then why Barcelona plan to sell him. What Barcelona could do is keep him in the regular XI and replace him with another player in the same position and test which of the two players performs better. If the new player performs well, then Barcelona can drop Lewandowski and give the new player a chance. But if Lewandowski is sold early and another player is appointed instead and the player performs poorly then Barcelona Lewandowski will struggle a lot in that position and they will perform poorly.

Though age can affect a player but lawandowski has actually proven that what matters is fittest and ability to perform very well, he has been a good tool for Barcelona this season so I think age shouldn't be a problem at all, I agree with the things you said, I think it will even be a great mistake for Barcelona to think of dropping lewandsoki when there's no player that have been tried in his wing to know is if the player can actually fit in that position just as you said, I don't see anything wrong with lewandowski presently so nursing such in mind to replace him may not be a good decision, I think Barcelona should think about it very well if actually they want to take such decision, no matter the age of a player unless he has decided to retire in football generally or retire in league football then he can be allowed to go, if he wants to go to another club based on his decision then he can also each terms with his club and bounce but aside the aforementioned, lewandowski is in good form I see no need of replacing him for now.

[Adbitco]

Madrid is not good at defending in any gamer, their aim is to keep scoring goals. I wonder how they have been able to win other matches after breaking a sweat. With the way things are going i am smelling defeat on Real Madrid. It seems they will be losing this game during the extra time.
Meanwhile i am losing on my bet already because of Real Madrid i wont have included them on my bet slip i wish i know. Agregate 4:4 lest see how it will all end.

Yes, generally they are not totally good at defending, it even worse this season maybe because of the defence injury crisis. Again, I love Real Madrid style of play although not all the time, Real Madrid is a team that plays and allows the opponent to also play. It's more like you attack me, I attack you. This type of game always makes it more interesting for someone like me to watch. I don't like a game where only one team dominating and doing all the scorings, it's boring to me.

[shinratensei_]

Barcelona is performing so damn crazy this season. They were showed good  at early season, went down at the mid season, then back up again. They also recorded perfect stats till this time, which i think they have big chance to win the competition.

If they win the season with perfect result, their coach, Flick deserve a maximum contract. They may be able to get treble in the bag if they can perform like this whole season. Their competitors are just getting harder to beat them.

Barcelona have a good track record in front of Atl.Madrid fans in the last few weeks they have managed to turn the tables, and most importantly now they Barcelona must be able to do it again victory is the price they must pay to catch up with Real Madrid who are already in the Final after winning the match with a final score of 5-4 for Real Madrid, facing Atl.Madrid will not be easy but their performance has declined after the defeat in the Champions Barcelona must be able to take advantage of the situation to catch up with Madrid.

However, I am also worried about the Barcelona players who are experiencing a busy schedule that could make them tired and they could experience a decline in this match, but apart from that the Barcelona players, both the main team and the second team, are really ready, this has been arranged by Flick and that is very good I hope Barcelona can win this match.

The score they got at home against Real Sociedad after 90 minutes created a big uncertainty for me before the Arsenal match. I thought Real Madrid was the favorite in this match. However, I saw that they are a team that can concede four goals even at home. When Arsenal is on a good day, they can eliminate Real Madrid, we saw this result. Also, since it was a cup match, they did not take the field with the reserve squad, Ancelotti took the field with the squad he would take in the Champions League. If they concede four goals against Arsenal, they may not be able to score three goals themselves.

[G_Besar]

The only challenge Madrid has is Barcelona, because if care is not taken Barcelona might deprive them from winning their desired trophy this season. This is because Barcelona is stronger than them currently, and Flick knows how to play Madrid to achieve his desired results. Madrid defense isn't solid this season which is what Barcelona is using as an advantage over them.

In the Copa Del Rey Barcelona and Real Madrid are also likely to meet again in the final because Barcelona certainly has the ability to beat Atletico Madrid in order to reach the Copa Del Rey final. So everyone might see another tense match in the Copa Del Rey final if Atletico Madrid is unable to beat Barcelona in today's semifinals. Moreover, the aggregate is also the same, so both will try to play as well as possible to win in order to reach the final and meet Real Madrid.

[Zlantann]

This result is a total expression of a club that is prepared to win multiple trophies this season. I was one of the people who thought that the sacking of Xavier Hernández was a blunder. I suggested that he should be allowed to stay for one more season to prove his worth. But it is now clear that Hansi Flick is the right choice for the Blaugranes.

The German coach has built a strong team with the available funds. Barca is going through some financial problems, which has limited them from buying expensive players. But the coach has shown that me and others who have underrated him are wrong.

El Clasico is certainly expected by many people to happen in the final match later and it is very likely to happen and I think nothing can be predicted easily for the Real Madrid vs Barcelona match even though throughout this season Barcelona has been more dominant but the match between the two is a prestigious match that allows anything to happen especially in the final match of course it will be different.

[Out of mind]

In the Copa del Rey match, Real Madrid attacked their opponent strongly and in the last minute they won the tie figure and entered the final. This game was really exciting and very aggressive, where Real Madrid and Real Sociedad fought a lot. It was Real Madrid's victory until the last minute that entered them into the final.

Anyway, today's Atlético Madrid and Barcelona match is going to be even more exciting, since Atlético Madrid has been eliminated from the Champions League this season, so Atlético Madrid will try their best to reach the final to face Real Madrid in the final. But it will not be that difficult to beat Barcelona since Barcelona's team is currently much stronger, so I think this match will be a more exciting fight between the two teams. And the team that enters the final between these two teams will have a more interesting game with Real Madrid in the final.

[KTChampions]

Barcelona is performing so damn crazy this season. They were showed good  at early season, went down at the mid season, then back up again. They also recorded perfect stats till this time, which i think they have big chance to win the competition.

Yes, great stats. I wonder if they can continue at this pace until the end of the season? At least today Atletico will try to break this streak (and at the same time break their losing streak in key games). I hope the game will be painful and with extra time   I'm tired of Real playing extra time a lot and the players are exhausted. It would be nice if the competitors also got tense.

[Solokan]

Truthfully, Madrid are going through a lot and no one is seeing it. Their past two games; Leganes and the game played yesterday to Real sociedad, they have been struggling and have always escaped by a hair's breadth. It's quite obvious that Madrid aren't as in form as they are trying make people believe and with all this lucky wins they are getting, will they be always lucky with their remaining games in the Laliga and even in other competitions?
 Real Madrid are three points behind Barcelona and have been desperate to win any game they play but it's starting to show that they have a very poor defense and if they don't work on this it will cost them hugely. Ancelloti has been doing a good job so far but it would be a big blow of his boys can't lift anything this time around.

until now of course we will not know what will happen to Real Madrid's fate in the future whether they will always be lucky or not because yes by looking at Real Madrid's current performance of course it is not in accordance with many people's expectations because in fact Real Madrid is predicted this season they will always win with a fantastic score because of the many star players in Real Madrid. in his last match in Laliga, Real Madrid was indeed less than satisfactory when playing against Leganes because even though they won, they didn't score many goals. yes, it was the same in the Copa del Rey when playing against Real Sociedad, the results were indeed very unsatisfactory because in that match Real Sociedad almost managed to beat Real Madrid but fortunately Real Madrid was able to qualify for the Copa del Rey final because in the 1st leg Real Madrid won with a score of 1-0.

in my opinion, Real Madrid will certainly find it difficult to win the Laliga trophy because Barcelona, ​​which is their toughest rival, is stronger than Real Madrid. yes indeed Real Madrid's current obstacle is their poor defense in my opinion if Real Madrid's defense has been improved it will certainly make their performance even better in the upcoming match but yes indeed if it is not improved it will certainly make it difficult for Real Madrid to win any trophies.

yes it is true that Ancelotti is a good coach but it would be a shame if his men did not lift even 1 trophy this season. and of course as a football fan I can only watch and witness how Real Madrid's fate ends.

[giammangiato]

Yes, great stats. I wonder if they can continue at this pace until the end of the season? At least today Atletico will try to break this streak (and at the same time break their losing streak in key games). I hope the game will be painful and with extra time   I'm tired of Real playing extra time a lot and the players are exhausted. It would be nice if the competitors also got tense.

He certainly has some truly enviable statistics, he's playing well, there's no one injured and so the team is doing well.
I liked that the coach didn't completely overturn the team but tried to maintain a sort of balance.
A very good job, a very professional one
