La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[BIT-BENDER]

With Espanyol having 4odds today against Valencia I actually took that risk. A first half goal made me feel like and the master at predicting but it's 84 minute now and they are both at one goal each.
Anyone played a risk game that they become so interested in the game it kind of feel that interest is causing a hindrance to the game playing out? That is how I am feeling like right now.

They lost a figure in the midfield who decided to retire last season, Toni Kross. Modric is still good, but he can't work alone and he's not young anymore, so overall Real Madrid has lost a figure who usually gives them comfort in the midfield.

Yes, they did prepare and some young players are in the middle position, but in my opinion they are not ready to replace their seniors who can indeed make a difference in every match. The most influential figure was when they lost Toni Kross.

Well, you made a good observation because you realize the point where Real Madrid started to lose its balance, one of which was due to the retirement of Toni Kross and the problem is that there is no player who can replace his position with the same quality as T. Kross. And it is clear that Toni Kross has been able to balance the back line and attack. But after he left, the team's condition was a little shaky. Regarding Modric, this player is still a good player. But because he is almost 40 years old, we can no longer expect much from Modric. But if Real Madrid also loses Modric then the worst will happen here. so I hope Real Madrid finds someone who can be like Toni Kross and Modric. And I hope that next season this team will really recover with its new, more solid strength. In fact, next season will be a season that is difficult for anyone to predict. because Real Madrid will most likely also have a new manager.

Barcelona vs Mallorca

Barcelona confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Wojciech Szczesny (GK), Hector Fort, Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, Inigo Martinez, Gavi, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati.

Mallorca confirmed lineup (5-3-2): Leo Roman (GK), Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Jose Copete, Mateu Morey, Johan Mojica, Antonio Sanchez, Omar Mascarell, Samu, Cyle Larin, Sergi Darder.

Mallorca haven't recorded a victory against Barcelona, Barcelona usually have phone when it comes to opponent like Mallorca and I'm very sure tonight will not be an  exception. Barcelona has been team very well and they have been consistent in all their games so I don't expect Mallorca to even stop them. They had faced total humiliation from Barcelona in their last meeting at Mallorca's home. This is going to be a difficult situation for Mallorca because they are playing an away game which I expected nothing but defeat in this match.

That is why it is called risk taking, you can never take risk and become comfortable until the match ended.
The final result of the match is 1-1, the home team that happens to be the favorite team leveled up in the 57 minute of the match and tried to secure the win to complete the comeback, but it wasn’t possible but people that bet on both teams to score are now happy because the home team delivers even though people that hope on them are disappointed at the end.

Espanyol and Valencia both have 39 points each, they are in the 13th and 14th positions in the Laliga table respectively, they both have confidence that they are not going to be relegated but also have no dream of European football next season.

If we compare how Real achieved victory in the last round and how Barcelona did it, then Real's victory looks the most logical and Barcelona's victory looks like an accident 

Haha. I'm sure you're a Real Madrid fan. So Real Madrid's win seems reasonable to you and Barcelona's win seems like an accident. Otherwise you didn't watch the Madrid vs Bilbao match. Madrid scored after 90 minutes. So how do you think this win is reasonable? Barcelona also scored a goal in the last minute. If you call it an accident, both should be called accidents.
~

And you don't see the difference between dominating the whole game and being unlucky in realizing scoring chances (expected goals are closer to 2) and in the end still winning and winning after the score was 1-3 in favor of the opponent? And the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 98th minute.
Yes, I support Real, but don't you see the difference in these two scenarios?

Real Madrid also lost David Alaba, Eder Militao and Carvajal in many matches due to injury. It must be admitted, Toni Kroos retirement is also one of the causes of Real Madrid decline this season, which has maintained the depth of the game. Modric is no longer Ancelotti mainstay due to age, although sometimes he is still able to make a difference in the results of the match. Now Ancelotti is under great pressure after Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League, his future is questionable. The La Liga and Copa del Rey trophies may be able to guarantee Ancelotti position to be maintained for next season, there is still a chance for all possibilities.

This is going to be a difficult situation for Mallorca because they are playing an away game which I expected nothing but defeat in this match.

Mallorca will certainly have a hard time away from home, but there is a possibility of surprise with players like Vedat Muriqi. It is clear that Barcelona will dominate the match with their home advantage and squad quality.

Robert Lewandowski is in great form in this general, I think he would have easily scored a goal or two if he was there, since he is not there, Torres is the one who will score the goal. Mallorca will keep the score 0-0 and look for chances with counterattacks.

[SmartCharpa]

Are you sure about Mbappe performance? I mean he scores a good ammount of goals, but i feel like he was underperforming in this Real MAdrid, we were all expecting to see much more from him and from this team, no talk about he do nothing in the last Champion League matches against Arsenal.

It seems pretty similar to the firts Cristiano season in Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not score as many goals as Mbappe in his first season at Real Madrid if I am not wrong, Mbappe has scored 30 or more goals for Real Madrid in all competitions, goals that no other Real Madrid current players have achieved in a single season. I believe you want Mbappe to perform like Cristiano and equalize goals for the team even when they are down by 3 goals, like against Arsenal. Mbappe joined this team as Mbappe not to compete like his Idol.

Furthermore, we cannot expect Real Madrid to win against any opponent if their defense is weak, striker goals are useless when the defense cannot prevent an opponent from attacking. Madrid's defense has made many errors this season, which is why we don't see the value of all the goals that Mbappe has scored this season, however, if Madrid's defense is as strong as Arsenal's, I am confident that they will lead the La Liga by many points with Mbappe's contribution.

Barcelona aren’t having a great game, The Mallorca defender are keeping it tight at the back, I’m surprised Raphinha is not playing to night. And I’m also surprised that Andy Fati is playing this game he is not having a good game, he is finding it difficult to penetrate the Mallorca defense. The Mallorca Goalkeeper and defender are frustrating Barcelona, it’s a tough game so far, Hamsi Flick got his starting spot all wrong tonight. I hope they break the deadlock.

Robert Lewandowski is ofcourse a great player but recently even him has found it has to score when ever the game is difficult and the team they are playing against is very defensive and that is what they are facing right now.
Barcelona are a top team but I think they have an issue breaking that a very defensive team, they fair better when they are up against a team that also attacks.

[red4slash]

Interesting now is Betis because it seems that the Antony Effect has not faded for them even with an impressive victory this week and Antony who managed to score 1 goal made their statistics look very good even though their winning record since Antony joined Betis was tarnished by Villarreal last week but they bounced back with 3 points in this match.

It's a GOAT effect you know, even La Liga know what they doing. Look, almost all Real Betis highlight use Antony picture as the thumbnail even he didn't give assist, goal or MOTM in that match.

Antony x Isco is a good combination, too bad Manchester United don't want loan him for the second year and they set the price too high for Real Betis if they want to buy out Antony.

Because he is always a good highlight even in the country I live in now for some football influencers on social media always report anything related to Antony including his achievements and what he did in a match at Betis, so in the end this is a good thing to attract people to look at Betis because indirectly this is also a free tool for them to promote everything related to Betis when the theme is Antony.

In addition, in the end this is also an appropriate thing because it cannot be denied that for now Antony seems to be getting a revival momentum when at Betis in terms of performance because although for goals he has not been as good as before but in terms of performance it has been seen how he has done very well at Betis to date.

Losing some key players like Dovbyk, Savinho and Aleix Garcia made Girona seem to have lost their way this season, but even though they are still there, it still cannot be a belief that they will be the same as last season because after all a club like Girona seems to only be a one season wonder club version because after all their strength is still not that good to be able to compete stably in every season.

They returned to the previous 2 seasons where they could only compete in the middle standings or even the bottom standings for La Liga after appearing surprising last season.

Interesting now is Betis because it seems that the Antony Effect has not faded for them even with an impressive victory this week and Antony who managed to score 1 goal made their statistics look very good even though their winning record since Antony joined Betis was tarnished by Villarreal last week but they bounced back with 3 points in this match.

Losing key players in small teams is a huge disaster because small teams don't have many quality players but unfortunately few. For them an injury or a sale is a disaster, so i understand Girona's problems.
Patience, they have to roll up their sleeves

This season Girona looks like it's not to be confused with the previous season even when last season there would be a lot of people who would bet on them (including me) but for now I have to think further if I include them in my betting list.

Girona's situation seems to have changed drastically even though it looks the same as previous seasons where they were just an ordinary club but with what they got last season especially when they turned into a giant in La Liga and now in contrast to last season then this is a bit unfortunate for Girona.

Barcelona were too poor in finishing in the first half and this was clearly very unfortunate. There were many missed scoring chances that could have given them a more comfortable lead, but I am sure Hansi Flick will ask his players to be more calm in the second half. Some players like Ferran and Ansu Fati seemed to rush when they had goal chances, but they all failed.

I think it's an easy game for Barcelona and they are very likely to win. Mallorca were just lucky not to concede even though they defended well, in some moments they were just lucky. In the second half, I think Barcelona will prove that they deserve to win and it will be very possible.

The result of the match was 1-1. There was no winner and both teams are still far from the relegation zone. Although Valencia was more effective in the match, they could not win the match due to not being able to score the second goal against Espanyol. In the ongoing Barcelona match, Barcelona, ​​which played a game that could have scored at least 4-5 goals in the first half, did not score any goals but can score many goals in the second half.

Barcelona vs Mallorca

Barcelona confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Wojciech Szczesny (GK), Hector Fort, Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, Inigo Martinez, Gavi, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati.

Mallorca confirmed lineup (5-3-2): Leo Roman (GK), Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Jose Copete, Mateu Morey, Johan Mojica, Antonio Sanchez, Omar Mascarell, Samu, Cyle Larin, Sergi Darder.

They had faced total humiliation from Barcelona in their last meeting at Mallorca's home. This is going to be a difficult situation for Mallorca because they are playing an away game which I expected nothing but defeat in this match.

The match is becoming so though for Barcelona and considering that they just played against Celta Vigo on Saturday and to play another match three days later makes fatigue to affect the players. Besides, in their last match against Celta Vigo, they overlaboured themselves to overturn a 2 goals deficit by Celta Vigo who was leading them by 1:3 before Dani Olmo's goal and a brace from Raphinha saved the match for Barcelona. However, despite the solid defense of Mallorca, Barcelona should try and break through when they return for the second half because they need to win this match in order for them to maintain the 4 points lead against Real Madrid, though if Barcelona wins Mallorca they will now go seven points clear, pending the outcome of Real Madrid's game against Getafe tomorrow. Mallorca may be a small team for Barcelona but they are proving so stubborn in this one, maybe the second half can break their wings for Barcelona to find their way to score.

Meanwhile, Mallorca could have finished the first half ahead. The offside was so close that the line only touched his kneecap. Barcelona increased the pressure but the players were in a hurry to make the final shots. It is quite possible that they will score in the second half by pressing harder and choosing the final shots better, if we look at the game in the first half, only the finishing shots were missing.

Barcelona were able to send balls behind Mallorca's closing defence, and they did this with ease in second halves.

Mallorca is one side in the Spanish La liga that's very difficult to score goals and with the absence of Robert Lewandowsky in this match for Barcelona I had this feeling Barca will go a bit blunt in the attack in having the ball in the back of Mallorca's net quicker. Hopefully, Hansi Flick will do something with his boys when they get back to the second half to have good control of the ball in their opponent third-half because the victory in this game would really count in Barcelona's occupation in their top-flight standing on the table.

[Abdulzuruku01]

This match is really exciting, but that's not what Barcelona should seek for. They need to act quickly to score because Mallorca shows from their game that they only want to play defending game, and they will be more dangerous in defending if they score first.  Leo Roman has made some fantastic savings for Mallorca, and Ansu Fati has been displaying great performance for Barcelona. I think his problem currently lies with the coach, if he can give him more chances to play, he will improve even more.

Of course, couldn’t help thinking the amount of chance wasted, the players are just being selfish and playing to get a goal for themselves.. Ferran Torres  is not a good start, I kept on saying it, Ansu Fati is trying his best to please and not make mistakes, that’s killing the game somehow, he must be willing to go beyond than just releasing the ball so quick.
Apart from the possession and shots,so far nothing so bad  about the game other  than wasted efforts from those providing the assists, even olmois selfish today.
They are dominating, that’s not bad but they need goals, with their domination they still conceeded, not good at all IMO. +1

Barcelona players weren't poorin finishing because they made some clinical finish but Leo Roman denied them some good goal. Also, Barcelona wasn't luck in the first half because two balls hit the goal post. Barcelona attacked Mallorca aggressively, and tried to force the ball into the net, but it was impossible. Theyhad 21 shots.

Dani Olmo has finally find the back of the net with an early goal after kick off time in the second half. It's currently 1-0.

Lol, I can totally relate with this very feelings, it has happened to me on several occasions and it though felt like I'm the reason why the team lost or drew a game they were supposed to win just because I placed a bet on them. Several times, after rigorous checking of stats and head 2 head between two particular teams and seeing a unique pattern of play for several years that was same, like a particular team always winning at home whenever they met this particular opponent, they always win by 2 - 3 goal margin no matter how in for or out of form they are, they always win with that margin and the opponent always scores at least one goal. Now there's a pattern, home win and ov 2.5 or GG and ov 2.5 or home to score 3+ goals. Then a faithful day, after going through all these stats, boom you picked this very game and played three different coupons. First, GG and ov 2.5 second, home win and ov 2.5 and home to score over 2.5 goals. Game starts and you start wondering if these guys took a pick of you game and just decided to do something entirely different. Boom game ends in 0 - 0 FT
