La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Slow death]

Today we have many games, but I only analyzed this game:

Sevilla - Atletico Madrid

looking at the performance of these two teams in the last 5 games, I don't see much difference in terms of performance, for example Atletico Madrid in the last 5 games had 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, while Sevilla had 2 losses, two draws and only 1 win

Sevilla injured players: Tanguy Nianzou

In most of the games in which these two teams have faced each other in recent games, Atlético Madrid has won, so I believe that Atlético Madrid will win the game and Sevilla, even playing at home, has lost.

[3meek]

But I will now hope Atletico madrid don't disappoint me. because I will favorite Atletico Madrid in today's match. And if I am also unlucky in this match then it looks like I will have to stop betting for a moment. because my luck is really in a bad phase.

It is true that with 2 teams that have thrown away the opportunity to get 3 points now I hope ATM will be the difference. Although in terms of mentality ATM has been depressed due to the consecutive defeats experienced, at least with Barcelona and Madrid who failed to win then this is an opportunity for ATM to be motivated to play well, be careful and have thorough preparation.

Bookmakers give odds of 2.3 on Atletico Madrid winning... Of course Atletico are stronger than Sevilla, but it's strange that their win has such high odds... I guess I'll take a chance and use these odds... Atletico are really motivated to win this game, and by the way Atletico have no games in other competitions, so they will spend 100% of their energy in this game...

Vinicius Jr. missed a penalty and Valencia scored two goals with their only two shots at target for the entire game. That was a really bad day for Real Madrid.
Barcelona missed several goal opportunities against Betis at the second half. Betis scored after a corner and Barca's goalkeeper didn't do a good job at blocking the shot. It seems to me that both Barca and Real are far away from their best performances.
I really want Atletico to win against Sevilla, but Atletico became too dependent on Julian Alvarez. If Sevilla manages to neutralize Alvarez, Atletico probably won't be able to score a goal. Unfortunately Atletico lost way too many points and they won't be able to compete for winning La Liga.

[koang]

I'm a fan of Atletico Madrid, I know very well how this team works, sometimes they make disappointing results for us (the fans), for example when they faced Barcelona, ​​it should have been 3 points for Atletico Madrid, but they wasted the chances to win that they had. But for this match, when Real Madrid & Barcelona got quite bad results, they (Atletico Madrid) will not do the same thing.

Since the match will be played at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, it might be a bit difficult for Atletico to get full points. So, my prediction for this match:

- Sevilla 0 - 2 Atletico Madrid
- Sevilla 1 - 2 Atletico Madrid

I am not an Atletico Madrid fan, but I think this is a good bet
This game is the last chance to inject some hope into the morally weak fan base. I hope Simeone finally gets something going.
For the game, I hope Simeone will let the young and energetic players like Conor Gallagher, Barrios Rivas, and Giuliano Simeone take over. They need more experience in the competition, which will help the team's future.

[Franctoshi]

It's unfortunate that Real Madrid couldn't win last night because this is a chance to shift Barcelona's Position. The gap became 1 different point with Barcelona if Vini can convert that penalty into a goal.
I've started to doubt Real Madrid can win this match after he failed to execute it. My doubts have become real after Mouctar Diakhaby headed the ball into a goal.

yes it is indeed very unfortunate that Real Madrid in that match could not win and indeed they also could not take advantage of the opportunities well. yes even though if only Real Madrid could win in that match it would certainly make Real Madrid have a closer points difference with Barcelona. yes indeed with the result of Barcelona vs Betis with a draw score of course it does give Atletico Madrid the opportunity to be able to make their points difference thin if Atletico Madrid can win against Sevilla.

Normally, Valencia isn't a small opponent team to get surprised of their victory,  yes for couple of seasons they fall out of the line, that's  the kind of formidable Valencia we all used to know back days, but their situation right now is just like that of Manchester United, who are in the 13th position in the Premier League but at the same time can be a nightmare for any big team in Premier League they come across,  and don't be surprised that in their today's game against Manchester City, they will come out victoriously.

[stompix]

Real loses to Valencia, everyone is like:
- Barcelona is the champion, Real wasted the last chance, Real has lost this year, There is no way for them to come back
Barcelona draws with Betis
- <Insert Pikachu face>

Still 8 games left, if everything goes right for them, even Atletico still has a theoretical chance!

Bookmakers give odds of 2.3 on Atletico Madrid winning... Of course Atletico are stronger than Sevilla, but it's strange that their win has such high odds...

It's 3.35 for Sevilla and 3.25 for a draw, that's a sign of a lot of money if piling on a draw , that's the reason for the high odds.
A handicap would still be a safer way here.

[iamsange]

Well I don't even see any possibility in atletico madrid winning this match, Moreover I don't even think if those loses will motivate them to play well Because this is not their first time of having such opportunity but they didn't utilize them. did you think sevilla will be the escape goat here? Hell no, that's not going to be possible. And you should know how most of this teams behave whenever time thier follow superior team is being defeated or even end with a score of draw, instead of being motivated they will still be lazy, Though things might work different for them this time.

Atletico Madrid must be able to win if they want to stay in the top three of the standings because currently Bilbao’s points are also quite close to Atletico Madrid so in today’s match Atletico Madrid must be able to motivate themselves to be able to win even though they have to fight very hard. Sevilla may not give Atletico Madrid space when attacked, but Atletico Madrid must be able to break down Sevilla’s defense in order to win this match. Because if Atletico Madrid loses again in today’s match, I doubt they will stay in the top three this season.

Who loses bets other than me? lol. 

This is beyond prediction, Real Madrid is very dominant and even their shots on target are very many. But indeed the Valencia goalkeeper is very good. Giorgi Mamardashvili was able to read Vinicius' penalty and this added to Madrid's poor record in penalty execution. This season Madrid has failed 5 times in penalty execution. Another problem is that the distance with Barcelona is getting further with a difference of 4 points.  Giorgi Mamardashvili was indeed a savior for Valencia because his performance was very good. Beyond prediction, because this result should not happen, two top teams lose in eri with a team that I consider can be defeated.

Vinicius Jr. missed a penalty and Valencia scored two goals with their only two shots at target for the entire game. That was a really bad day for Real Madrid.

Well, Vinicius wouldn't be the last person to miss a penalty and wasn't the first. I love Real Madrid but for some personal reasons, I don't think I want to see them win the La Liga Competition this season. Finally lost to Valencia after a long time. Props to Betis. They have been great since signing Antony on loan from Manchester United same time unbeaten. It's lovely to see how much he's improved. The british media painted him a bad player.

[pawel7777]

Barcelona didn't fully capitalise on Real Madrid losing to Valencia, but at least they managed to increase the gap by one point, that's still something.
Real Betis is a tough team to play against. Before yesterday, they were on 6 league games win streak (Barcelona had 9 consecutive wins) and that include win over Real Madrid.
Still, with such dominance, i.e. over twice as many shots on goal, shots on target and possession of 74%, Barcelona should've won that, but it is what it is, results are not always fair.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Lamine Yamal is a young talent and he is lucky to be playing for a side like Barcelona where he can develop those talents to the fullest possible extent and learn from older and experienced players like Lewandowski. I think Yamal is the best player Barcelona has got since the time of Lionel Messi and Neymar. If Yamal follows the Messi blueprint and stays at Barcelona, he is likely to win the Ballon d’Or. 

He has made a real contribution to Barcelona's progress and Lamine Yamal would be a good replacement after Lionel Messi and Neymar leave because if you look at him he has made some progress towards improving Barcelona's overall performance. His very young age gives Lamine Yamal the opportunity to continue to show his best skills so that he will slowly become a fairly experienced player.

The draw that Barcelona got was not too bad compared to Real Madrid who lost against Valencia. Barcelona is still on a positive trend and there is still room to win the title this season because now they are four points ahead of Real Madrid.

[bitLeap]

Valencia has taken the lead on the 15th minutes with a brilliant header, two minutes after Vinicius lost the opportunity of giving Madrid the lead by missing a penalty. I don't know why Mbappe is no longer playing Madrid's penalty anymore, or Ancelotti doesn't want him to be part of the highest goal scorer contenders. Vini should stop taking PK for Madrid.

Like my doubts with the goalkeeper who played minimal minutes, it was proven that Madrid lost badly and several opportunities were wasted, Vinicius failed to execute a penalty so it was a disaster even though he managed to redeem it with 1 goal but if it was a draw it might not be as bad as losing badly. Vinicius playing style is now predictable, he will force the ball into the penalty box through the side line and Valencia defenders already know how to stop him. Now the preparation against Arsenal if it still looks like there is minimal cooperation then Ancelotti cannot continue to rely on his luck.

[JoyMarsha]

It's unfortunate that Real Madrid couldn't win last night because this is a chance to shift Barcelona's Position. The gap became 1 different point with Barcelona if Vini can convert that penalty into a goal.
I've started to doubt Real Madrid can win this match after he failed to execute it. My doubts have become real after Mouctar Diakhaby headed the ball into a goal.

So, Atletico might shift Real Madrid's position if they can handle Sevilla tonight. Even still have 3 different points, but when we look at how hard Real Madrid had to get 3 points, the chance Atletico has to finish in 2nd position is still big opportunity, and it's not impossible reach out to La Liga trophy when we look how badly Barcelona to overcome Real betis last night.

La Liga surprises will happen in common weeks because Atletico only focuses on La Liga.

The performance that Real Madrid and Barcelona displayed yesterday is really for sure we are going to see surprises happening before the match of the season ends.

I don't know whether it is because of both teams has
Champions League match to play in a few days, they are reserving their strength for it, taking their opponent for the Laliga match less seriously.

However, if Atletico Madrid can win their match against Sevilla today, it could give them hope of overthrowing Real Madrid in the second spot. Atletico Madrid is not a team that you can trust to occupy the second spot because they can leave you disappointed in the end, losing their matches

[Tamaperdana]

Barcelona finally dropped points in the league for the first time in a long while after 9 straight league wins, they dropped points last since January in a game were Getafe held them to a 1 - 1 draw. Today Real Betis has also held them to a 1 - 1 draw. Only if Real Madrid had won Valencia earlier on then it would have been of advantage to them but sadly they lost to Valencia at the Santiago Bernebeu.

  In fact, it is Barcelona that should be grieving and not Real, since they played after Real and knowing the result, they understood that they could finish the championship race today, but in the end they could only achieve a draw.
+1 point and -1 game to go is actually a very good result, but against the backdrop of a potential +3 points it is perceived as a failure.

I really regret that Barcelona could not get 3 full points in the match against Betis. Because if they could win the match, of course Barcelona would be quite far ahead in points from Real Madrid. But unfortunately Barcelona was only able to get a draw in this match. But even so I think it's better to get a draw than to lose. Because after seeing Real Madrid lose to Valencia of course I compare that Barcelona is still better off being held to a draw by Betis.

In addition, Real Madrid currently has a performance that is very difficult for us to predict, because sometimes their performance looks good and sometimes their performance is very bad. Because being able to lose to a team like Valencia is really beyond everyone's predictions. Because Valencia can be said to be a weak team this season, because its ranking is currently in 15th position in La Liga. So if you look at that, it feels like Real Madrid can't possibly lose to Valencia. But this is football and any result can happen here. So with that, I think Real Madrid is really in a confusing situation. Because they have everything, but their performance cannot be expected to be able to become champions in La Liga.

Barcelona missed good chance have many points left from Real Madrid after being held to draw by Real Betis in last night's match, recently have 4 points remaining between Barcelona and Real Madrid after losing three points defeating by Valencia at their home match over 1-2. Unbelievable with Madrid's match result how difficulty get three points and for the first time since 2008 defeated by Valencia at Santiago Bernabeu and make difficult to stop Barcelona keep dominance at the first standings place behind 4 points remaining with 8 matches left.

Bad result for two top standings teams Barcelona and Real Madrid give advantage for Atletico Madrid will face Sevilla two hours later, if can take three points have opportunity cut off 7 points left from Barcelona and still have opportunity keep in the La Liga tittle race this season. Atletico Madrid only focus with  La Liga matches after eliminating at Champion League and Copa del Rey than Madrid and Barcelona have focus for playing at Copa del Rey and Champion League quarter final match.

Real Madrid made people to miss their prediction yesterday, because people predicted for the favour of Real Madrid to beat Valencia 3:1 base on they know how to play at home to beat their opponent, but Valencia came with full force to beat Real Madrid 1:2. If you watch the game from the beginning till the end, you will know that Real Madrid play well, but Valencia defenders really know how to block Real Madrid strikers not to gain more access to their goalpost.

Barcelona draw 1:1 to share points with their opponent, but they are still topping other teams in the la Liga league table, and if Atletico Madrid is not careful with their opponent, it may end the say way Real Madrid game ended for the favour of their opponent.

[Adbitco]

This season's Real Madrid is indeed different from previous seasons. There are several factors that are very big influences, not only because some of their main defenders are injured. But also the departure of Kross.

And if we look again, sometimes, the tactics used by Ancelotti are also quite strange and not like usual, which actually harms Real Madrid itself.

As happened in their last match against Valencia, how could they lose in this match even though this was a very good match to narrow the points between the opponent and Barcelona?

In my opinion, this season, their winning spirit and mentality are not that good, even losing several times with late goals from the opponent in the last minutes. Hopefully, this will not really affect their focus and performance in UCL.

Even as I'm pained about the outcome of the Valencia game, imagine an out of form Valencia beating Real Madrid 2 - 1 at the Estadio Santiago Bernebeu it's really unacceptable but it is what it is. Think is, every game comes with its own approach and the fact that the coach doesn't have a steady or stable starting 11 apart from the attackers. It's been one injury in the defence and sometimes the midfield to another. It's so true that the departure of Koni Kroos is a big blow to the midfield but I think the club has adapted to his retirement and his replacement is really trying. Real Madrid just has to fix it's defence.

Sevilla - Atletico Madrid

looking at the performance of these two teams in the last 5 games, I don't see much difference in terms of performance, for example Atletico Madrid in the last 5 games had 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, while Sevilla had 2 losses, two draws and only 1 win

In most of the games in which these two teams have faced each other in recent games, Atlético Madrid has won, so I believe that Atlético Madrid will win the game and Sevilla, even playing at home, has lost.

The problem with Atletico is that in the last 6 games, if you take all the tournaments, Atletico has 5 losses and only 1 draw. Yes, half of these games are games against Real and Barcelona, ​​but there were games against Getafe and Espanyol.
Atletico have been knocked out of 3 tournaments during these games. They are in a terrible psychological state now and this could ruin all those "on paper" arrangements.

[Jossque]

Real Madrid and Barcelona both dropped points this week.Real Madrid lost at home while Barcelona drew with Betis.Valencia goalkeeper Mamardashvili put in a very good performance.Their goalkeeper played a big part in this win.Hugo Doro's winning goal in the last minute gave Valencia an important 3 points.Valencia should be very happy to get 3 points from such an away game.
Barcelona, on the other hand, couldn't stop Real Betis, the in-form team of the last few weeks.Barcelona played a dominant football against their opponent, but had difficulty in defeating their opponent.Betis getting points away from home in such a match is important for them because they are still in the race for the top 5 with their rivals.They are 1 point ahead of Villarreal despite having 2 games less and this must be bothering them a lot.

The performance that Real Madrid and Barcelona displayed yesterday is really for sure we are going to see surprises happening before the match of the season ends.

I don't know whether it is because of both teams has

Strange weekend in La Liga, all three leaders decided that dropping points would be a good decision, yesterday Real and Barcelona did it, and today Atletico conceded early in the match. Of course they still have enough time to fix this situation, but Sevilla is sometimes a very difficult team, especially at home. Atletico should have taken advantage of the fact that their main rivals dropped points yesterday, but instead they did the same.
