La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Majestic-milf]

Real Madrid are unbeaten this season in la liga and Champions League, and Copa del Rey when Kylian Mbappé hasn't played lol I think Real Madrid are getting better results without Mbappe.
I wonder if they would have won more easily if Mbappe had been there today or if they would have lost points in this match.
Real Madrid won the three points today with a goal that Valverde created out of nothing in the last minute.

I thought so too but then you will agree that Mbappe wouldn't have helped their cause. I mean, see when they got their goal: 90+3 because their heads were just not in the game, simply because one team came and exposed how empty they are and now other teams are beginning to get the courage to bite too.
Arsenal really did a number on Real Madrid's confidence and even Mbappe was made to look like an inexperienced individual so yes, I doubt he would have done anything today. At least they got the three points today but if they keep playing the way they did today for the remainder of their games, it would be safe to say they will lose our on the Laliga race.

Real Madrid 1 Vs Athletic Bilbao 0 FT
Finally, the host gets in front after a fine finish from Federico Valverde to give Real Madrid the lead and the win. The goal was late on and the host really deserves the win after a second half better performance than the first half. Earlier on, Vinicius scored a goal online to be ruled out by VAR for offside that's totally not a problem, but the thing is, after Bellingham seemed to be fouled in the 18 yard box and there was a contact, VAR didn't bother to check it to see if it was worth a penalty. I don't think that will be important again for the team after they won late on.

Yes, this match almost ended in a goalless draw, but luck was still on Real Madrid's side in the final minutes. Real Madrid really worked hard in this match and they didn't give up even though Bilbao almost guaranteed to go home with 1 point. But I agree that Real Madrid deserved to win this match, they did everything to win 3 points and it worked.

Both teams played well with their respective strategies, but Bilbao tended to play defensively and Real Madrid appeared dominant. Poor finishing and strong Bilbao defense made Real Madrid unable to score goals, but their efforts were not in vain and in the end Real Madrid was still able to maintain a 4 point gap behind Barcelona.

[KTChampions]

What an interesting weekend. Yesterday, Atletico Madrid threw in the towel for the championship in the 90+3rd minute. Today, Real Madrid held on to the championship in the 90+3rd minute.

Real Madrid had a hard time but scored the winning goal in the 90+3rd minute from Valverde and carried their hopes of winning the championship, albeit a little, into the coming weeks.

Do you think that if Atletico had drawn they would have stayed in the race? Or even if they had won they would have been in the race? Their chances have been estimated as below 10% for a couple of rounds, they have been out of the race for a long time.
As for the weekend, yes, it was very eventful, Barcelona's game was very spectacular, Real's game was less spectacular, but it's good that everything ended well and the upcoming Clasico makes sense.

I have been saying it and I will continue to say it that the major problem of Real Madrid is the presence of mbappé and the vinicius Junior at the top. If you like do not acknowledge it but I have made my findings and that is true. If it were to be only vinicius Junior that they team is built around, he would always deliver the team. Also if the thing is built around mbappé, it will also deliver the team at any time. But having too young world class players and who are ballon d'or contenders in the same team will only breed unspoken competition among them and that is one of the problems of the present Real Madrid.

Rodrygo is enough to support Vini Junior at the top and a natural 9 like Osimhen would be signed and peace will reign.

Federico Valverde scored a brilliant goal at injury time, which R.Madrid narrowly won by three points over Athletic Bilbao, but it was still a tough game for Real Madrid because Athletic Bilbao had a solid defense today that was difficult for R.Madrid to break, but before the final whistle, Bilbao couldn't keep the pressure until the end, but it was a nice performance from both sides.
I know Barcelona is in better shape than R.Madrid this season, but the La Liga crown still lies between these two teams, and I can't guess who will win the battle between them now.

I wouldn’t disagree in total with you about some team lacking imbalance when there is lots of star players in the team I can say that it can definitely disrupt the team balance and actually cause selfishness, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a team with such quality that hasn’t been successful before, there are teams where the attacking players are all world class and this team had gone to be the best team in the world and won silverwares. Many that have been shouting about playing both players as their problem will have seen that this two aren’t entirely the clubs major problem at the moment.

Mbappe absence today showed that Real Madrid still didn’t play well this because of the team they are against which is Bilbao. Personally my reason about the current Real Madrid crisis is that the team is simply lacking cohesion and balance. This team is simply not more than a season and as such to me they need time to adapt to each other and they will definitely produce numbers

[TelolettOm]

Federico Valverde scored a brilliant goal at injury time, which R.Madrid narrowly won by three points over Athletic Bilbao, but it was still a tough game for Real Madrid because Athletic Bilbao had a solid defense today that was difficult for R.Madrid to break, but before the final whistle, Bilbao couldn't keep the pressure until the end, but it was a nice performance from both sides.

Real Madrid's front line performance is now not that good. Luckily there was a late goal from Valverde at the end of the match which became the decisive goal for Real Madrid's victory over Bilbao. Whereas previously, Real Madrid carried out a series of attacks, even up to 23 shots and only 7 shots on target. But all were zero and Valverde, a defender who was able to break through Bilbao's goal. The ability of the RMA striker really has to be questioned. No wonder they failed in the UCL, because even though they have many good strikers, their sharpness is not that good.

And because of his contribution, his rating score this time is superior compared to Vini JR who is in the front line of Real Madrid in that mathc. With Valverde's player rating score of 8.5 and Vini JR below it.

Not sure whether it is a brilliant goal or not, but it is surely a very important goal. In this match, I saw too many chances wasted by Real Madrid players. Vinicius, Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Valverde wasted too many shoot attempts. I don't know that they played too individually or they have lack of accuracy in shooting. Ancelotti must evaluate the shooting accuracy of Real Madrid attackers. I assume this problem happens in many matches, this will be a serious problem if it is never fixed.

In my own view, Athletic Bilbao defense didn't play very solid. In fact, Real Madrid could make many shoot attempts. It is only the problem in Real Madrid players' side, they couldn't score many goals because of lack of accuracy.

I know Barcelona is in better shape than R.Madrid this season, but the La Liga crown still lies between these two teams, and I can't guess who will win the battle between them now.

Barcelona should be the most favorite team to win the title, they are leading with 4 points difference. If they keep winning the remaining matches, no doubt that Barcelona will be the champion this season.

I thought so too but then you will agree that Mbappe wouldn't have helped their cause. I mean, see when they got their goal: 90+3 because their heads were just not in the game, simply because one team came and exposed how empty they are and now other teams are beginning to get the courage to bite too.

At least they got the three points today but if they keep playing the way they did today for the remainder of their games, it would be safe to say they will lose our on the Laliga race.

I agree with you, Arsenal really caused so much damage to the Madrid team both mentally, physically and emotionally, they can't get this defeat off their head till the end of this campaign and I feel they can't face Barcelona in the finals of the Copa de Rey like they are suppose to because if you check how they struggled against a Bilbao team that was exhausted from the Europa game last week you can tell that these Madrid guys are still not in good shape. How I wish it was a more serious and relegated team that's trying to find their way out from the relegation zone, it would have been more disturbing and uncomfortable for Madrid and the Santiago Bernabéu is no longer the fortress where teams go there to struggle to get a point, is now a comfortable arena for oppositions to enjoy their game and even get a point or the 3pt.
When you made mentioned of Mbappe I can't see him doing anything new than all what we saw against Arsenal, this hit is very serious and they never believed it will happen and I just hope Mbappe would use this time to recover from everything that is holding him down from playing out his best because ever since he arrived at the club they lost that wonderful performance they had, not that I'm saying he is the cause but the other players focus more on filling him in on how to blend in with the way things work in la Liga so that's why things haven't been going too well for him and his teammates, is like they play theirs and also for him, that's what I observed but next season might be a chance to see a better players who ones played for PSG.

The final settlement is still a big problem in the match because a number of opportunities obtained cannot be put to good use to score goals.
Simon appeared neatly under the crossbar because of a number of savior he managed to do that made Real Madrid players a little more frustrated in scoring goals.
Fortunately Valverde can make a goal for Real Madrid's victory so they don't lose full points in the match because if they fail then the opportunity to pursue Barcelona is even more difficult.

Conditions like this are uncomfortable for Real Madrid because they face a slightly weaker team they should win the match with a bigger score but Real Madrid actually have difficulty scoring goals.

I know it sounds weird but I do agree with you: the only real striker they have is Mbappé, and even though he is a very good player he is not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo or Benzema, who used to play a lot for the team. The other forwards they have are Vinicius and Rodrygo and they are not goalscorer, actually they miss quite a lot of chances. When they used to have CR7, Benzema and Bale it was a totally different story.

Luckily Real Madrid managed to win this match, otherwise I think their hopes of winning the La Liga title this season would be a pipe dream for them. I feel that Real Madrid's performance is getting worse day by day, IDK how solid Bilbao's defense is, but with all that possession & attacking attempts, they should be able to score a lot of goals. Quite disappointed with this result.

Now in the standings between Real Madrid & Barcelona there is a difference of 4 points, which is still quite far considering there are only a few more matches & losing 1 match will not be a big problem for Barcelona.

Winning against a defensive club is always difficult. Happy Madrid did it, though only scored one. They still keep a chance to win the title. They played better when they have only Mbappe and Vini as the attackers. Rodrygo is non existent in this game.
However, this win is not something to be praised as Bilbao rested so many players in this game. Bilbao was not playing their main attackers and several defenders as they put europa league as their main focus.
The result might be different when Bilbao played with the full squad.

Still take this win as important points for Madrid. At least this still gives them chance to win title, though it's small.

When they used to have CR7, Benzema and Bale it was a totally different story.

I see it from a different angle, Mbappe position is not as a pure striker, but a left winger. Look at Real Madrid statistics without Mbappe, overall they played as a team and managed to dominate the match. Despite not scoring, Vinicius also played more collectively than when they were eliminated from the UCL.
Luckily they were able to get full points through Valverde's goal in injury time, this is the kind of performance I expected from Madrid who managed to pressure their opponents throughout the match.

[Tamaperdana]

• Real Madrid vs Bilbao (over 2.5)

I see from most here a little doubt about the result of this match. But one important thing we must remember, an experienced team like Madrid will not repeat the same mistake several times and in this match I believe the worst result is just a draw.
Looking at the history of previous match results, both teams have equal performance. It's just that Bilbao has a stronger defense. BTTS (Yes) option is a good choice. But I want to try my luck from my prediction if the final result is over 2.5 with a score of 2-1.

In this match, Real Madrid was able to dominate the match very well and was able to shoot towards Bilbao's goal. But because Bilbao's defense was very strong until the 90th minute, Real Madrid was unable to score a goal and in the 90+3 minute, Real Madrid was able to score a goal and was able to win this match. After I saw this match, Real Madrid increasingly looked like they had a poor performance. Because in this match, Real Madrid played at home which should have been a great motivation for them to score more goals. But it turned out that Real Madrid could not score a goal in the normal 90 minutes. Maybe if Bilbao had tightened their defense in the final minutes, I think this match would have ended in a draw. But Valverde's goal saved Real Madrid in this match, and finally Real Madrid could get 3 points. In addition, in this match it seems that Mbappe was not included in this match, I don't know what the reason is, because it seems that he also did not suffer any injuries. But maybe Mbappe will not be played in this match to prepare for a more important match against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final.

It's already a good results, Athletic Bilbao is rarely lose.

Watching Real Madrid in this match reminds me with a quote "if it's meant for you, it will be for you", Real Madrid played very well and shots on target, even Vinicius scored in minutes 80', but the goal ruled out due to offside.

Then Valverde score in the last minutes, a very beautiful goal.

Mbappe will not be available for Copa del Rey final, he will back in the early May while that match will happen in this month.

it is true that in that match Real Madrid really dominated the game but yes it is very unfortunate that Real Madrid could not score many goals but of course fortunately in the last minutes Real Madrid was able to lead 1 goal through Valverde who scored a goal and of course Valverde really became a hero for Real Madrid in today's match.

but honestly in that match I saw Real Madrid not too bad because they gave a good attack but of course Bilbao is a strong team so it is only natural in this match that Real Madrid did not score many goals because Bilbao's very strong defense made it very difficult for Real Madrid's attacking players to shoot easily. but of course in that match too of course if Vinicius' goal was not considered offside by the referee of course the score would have been 2-0 for Real Madrid's victory but of course in my opinion even though 1-0 was produced in that match it was certainly very good and satisfying.

Regarding Mbappe, I know he has an ankle injury that's why he didn't play today and of course I think it's clear that if Mbappe doesn't play, there must be something missing, I hope Mbappe recovers quickly in the near future. However, according to the news I read, Mbappe will potentially be able to play in the El Clasico match.

[Marvell1]

I have been saying it and I will continue to say it that the major problem of Real Madrid is the presence of mbappé and the vinicius Junior at the top. If you like do not acknowledge it but I have made my findings and that is true. If it were to be only vinicius Junior that they team is built around, he would always deliver the team. Also if the thing is built around mbappé, it will also deliver the team at any time. But having too young world class players and who are ballon d'or contenders in the same team will only breed unspoken competition among them and that is one of the problems of the present Real Madrid.

I thought so at the beginning of the season. But now Vini and Mbappe are quite supportive. Mbappe had a serious problem that he was not interested in assists. He wants to score goals and often misses many easy chances. This problem has been reduced a lot with Mbappe. Vini and Mbappe have developed a friendly relationship.

Mbappe was not in Madrid's squad against Athletic Bilbao. Due to Mbappe's absence, we saw a somewhat weak performance from Madrid's attack in this match. The team faced a lot of problems scoring goals. Even then, Valverde saved Madrid at the last minute.

We did not see a good performance from Madrid's attack when performing against small teams. Again, when facing big teams, Madrid's defense quickly breaks down. It is difficult to figure out where the main problem of this team is.

[giammangiato]

Real Madrid's game against Bilbao is not an easy game. I'm favoring them to win it, but must be going throughout difficult game. They're good in attack, but woeful in defense. As long as they can score as many as possible, they can win it.
They have problem in their defense and can be exposed by Bilbao. They may be losing it if they have not yet solved it.

As for the odds, Madrid is a bit favorable to win the game, but the gap is so small. I'm still risking myself by betting on them. Let's see how it's gonna work.
I have no confidence in them, but only try to test my luck.

Real Madrid's match against Bilbao will not be easy at all, for many reasons. One is definitely the very low morale after exiting the Champions League, and the second is the fact that they risk not even hitting one objective.
I am sure that, being champions, they will be able to get back up.

[Xcode7]

It's already a good results, Athletic Bilbao is rarely lose.

Then Valverde score in the last minutes, a very beautiful goal.

Mbappe will not be available for Copa del Rey final, he will back in the early May while that match will happen in this month.

Mbappe's injury is the biggest loss for Real Madrid because he will be absent when facing Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey final later, especially since Real Madrid's performance this season is not so good and their front line often cannot perform optimally, and this will be a significant loss.

A win against Bilbao is indeed quite important because they are competing fiercely in the La Liga title race with Barcelona, ​​but I am a little pessimistic because Barcelona is playing quite strong and consistent now so it is unlikely for Real Madrid to expect Barcelona to lose points in the remaining matches this season.
