La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Mate2237]

The first half of the match has ended, and Athletic Bilbao is clearly leading. They've once again proven their status as one of the top teams in the Spanish league. Sevilla, on the other hand, disappointedly conceded two goals in the first half. I would have expected them to at least equalize in the first half, but they couldn't withstand Bilbao's impressive play. Athletic Bilbao could score more goals in the second half.

I think Athletic Bilbao  are performing well by scoring Sevilla two during the first half, but i think we should not expect much Sevilla because is not their home firstly and also Athletic Bilbao is the better side between the two team. OMG Sevilla are back in the game through the goals of D.lukebakio in the 60th minute and L.Agoume in the 72 minute, the equalizer didn't last long before Bilbao took back the lead. This may be the final score between Bilbao and Sevilla.

This game has taken a new turn in the second half as Sevilla scored two goals in this second half I didn't expect Sevilla to come back this way before they conceided another goal to make it 3:2 the game is at it final minutes .



Bilbao lost concentration in the second half as they allowed Sevilla to take control of the ball possession in the second half Bilbao should hold on to this lead so that they can get all three points from this season starter

[RaltcoinsB]

The match between Bilbao and Sevilla is ongoing and the scoreline is currently 2-0. Nico Williams scored the first goal with a penalty kick on the 36th minutes. Seven minutes later, M. Sannadi doubled the goal for Bilbao with a fantastic shot. Sevilla got only one shot on target due to the pressure on them from Bilbao.

The first half of the game was really in the favor of Athletico Bilbao but when they entered into the second half the tempo of the game changed and Sevilla scored, the match is currently at 2:1 and the possession is 50/50 but the way the match is going i would not be surprised if the match ends in a tie because Sevilla is trying to get an equalizer and Athletico Bilbao is not putting much efforts as they did in the first half. Despite Nico Williams scoring a penalty but he is not so vibrant as he used to be last season when Barcelona wanted to sign him so he needs to improve in his performance so that his market value will increase.

Sevilla has come from behind to put themselves back in the game as they have equalized all the two goals. Agoume scored the equalizing goal on the 72nd minutes. Sevilla is playing pretty good in the second half as they dominate the match. On the other hand, Bilbao is still looking for a way to take the lead again. Wow...Navarro have scored the third goal to Bilbao to make the scoreline 3-2.

Athletic Bilbao relaxed after scoring their third goal, and Sevilla began to struggle. Sevilla were fighting for an equalizer, but that's how the match ended. Luckily for Bilbao, they managed to score the third goal. If they had lost or drawn the match after taking a 2-0 lead, they would have been heavily criticized. Fortunately, they managed to earn the three points. Bilbao has always aimed to be one of the top four teams in the Spanish league. They made no mistakes in the first week.

The match between Espanyol and Atletico Madrid has begun. I expect Atletico Madrid to win this match, even if it's a tight one. Julian Alvarez will be Atletico Madrid's biggest goal-scoring weapon up front. Sörloth is a substitute, and Griezmann is a substitute. Atletico Madrid also has a strong reserve forward base. While Espanyol is a good team, their opponents are among the La Liga title contenders.

Bilbao started the new season with a win, but faced significant challenges against Sevilla. The 2-0 result brought relief to Bilbao, but Sevilla fought back. When the score was tied at 2-2 in the 72nd minute, Bilbao panicked.

Niko Williams provided an assist in the 81st minute, and Navarro scored to take Bilbao back in front and secure a 3-2 victory.

It was a highly entertaining match, with both teams opting for attacking football, and tonight's winner saw Bilbao finish the season with three points.

Sevilla had the right strategy by turning things around in the second half, and in my opinion, Matias Almeyda as Sevilla coach has a good understanding of how to identify Bilbao weaknesses in the first half, which allowed him to apply the right strategy in the second half. Overall, Sevilla performed fairly well in the second half match, and from the replay I saw, Sevilla actually had many chances. Unfortunately, Bilbao secured a 1-goal win in the second half, which caused Sevilla players to lose confidence. Although they lost, I believe Sevilla has shown a good performance at the start of this season.

Yes, we saw a Sevilla that never gave up trying, even when they were trailing. It was quite different from last year. I think Sevilla will show promising performances this year. They fought very hard in this match and never gave up in the second half. Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, performed beyond expectations, almost dropping points. They seem to be getting complacent easily. If they keep doing this, they'll face trouble.

[Sandra_hakeem]

The match between Barcelona and Mallorca was, just like I predicted, a walk over for Barcelona with their current form. Mallorca would have conceded beyond 3 goals on their opening day. Barcelona are prepared to dominate any team that faces them this season and their readiness have already been proven in their last match. We could see during the pre season how they dominated all their games against their opponent.

They game between the two sides in the past has recorded just one draw out of 15 games Barcelona played against Mallorca, so there was already a clear possibility that Barcelona will win their opening match without stressing out too much. For Hansi Flick, this victory is really important to the team, as it will  sends a strong message to Madrid that they are ready to defend their La Liga title this season.

[Scarlett_23]

In the match between Espanyol and Athletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid managed to score a goal before half-time. Julian Alvarez scored the goal in the 37th minute. Atletico Madrid had 62% possession while Espanyol had 38%.

I hope Atletico Madrid will maintain their good position in today's match and win in the last minute.

It was an exciting game given that these two teams are known for their defensive approach and nobody would have been negatively impressed if this game ended in a no goals draw. In that sense I think it was a good game with the better end for Bilbao. Sevilla has to work on their timings, 8 offsides in one game is ridiculous!

Barcelona are prepared to dominate any team that faces them this season and their readiness have already been proven in their last match. We could see during the pre season how they dominated all their games against their opponent.

Hansi Flick made comments after this match that he wasn't impressed with the players performance, and I think he was correct because two Mallorca players were sent off after Barcelona had scored two goals in the first half. Which everyone thought Barcelona would score a lot of goals in the second half, but they were just fumbling with the ball, and only managed to add just one goal in extra time to make it three I felt bad about this too.

However, I'm very happy that they've won their first game, and I have trust that Hansi Flick will continue to strengthen his teams, particularly Marcus Rashford. I don't want to be critical about Marcus Rashford right now, but he doesn't seem to be getting better at adapting to the team's pattern, and everyone wants to watch him play, any mistakes he makes will be obvious he really needs to improve.

[ZAINmalik75]

Mallorca they already know this was not a game for them to attempt winning, a goal or two for them would be the best they could attempt but unfortunately they were unable  to get one and Barcelona were able to secure three points already. The red cards was an advantage Barcelona did capitalised on.

Not surprising. Barcelona absolutely won everything. Barcelona won in all lines. So a 3-goal victory was well deserved for Barcelona. Morlaness' red card also helped Barcelona win easily. But in the second half, Flick brought in Rashford and Olmo to increase the number of goals. But it seems that his strategy did not work. He even disliked the final result. They should have won by more goals.

Well barcelona have won the match but I noticed one thing that refree have made so many errors. Before the first goal Yamal played the out ball, but the referee didn't take any action. The Second  is Ferran Torres goal which was allowed although Mallorca captain A. Raillo was bow down due to pain but the referee allowed the Barcelona team to play the game and the last one is Red card. Which is truly unfair. If the referee hadn't made any of these errors in Barcelona match then there would be chance for Mallorca to open the deadlock from Barcelona. Tomorrow real madrid will be facing Osasuna, and indeed real madrid will be the winner.

Xabi alonso will do some rotation. Maybe he will line some new defender due to Antino Rodriger suspension and Jude Bellingham and Edrick will be out of the squad due to injuries.

[EFS]

I only watched the first half and Athletic Bilbao looked like they were going to win comfortably. Nico Williams scored and made an assist. He had an excellent game. Sevilla hardly created any attacks. I see in the second half Athletic Bilbao conceded twice and almost lose points but Muñoz saved the day again.
Nico Williams is the backbone of this team. Despite many top-class clubs being interested in him, he signed a long-term contract. As long as he's playing, Athletic Bilbao will be stronger.

In the match between Espanyol and Athletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid managed to score a goal before half-time. Julian Alvarez scored the goal in the 37th minute. Atletico Madrid had 62% possession while Espanyol had 38%.

I hope Atletico Madrid will maintain their good position in today's match and win in the last minute.

Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid has lost to Espanyol in the second half, the score is 2:1 in favor of Espanyol as the match is now ended. Atletico Madrid should not start this season with same mentality they used last season because if they continue with this pattern it then means that it will be difficult to stand a title race alongside Barcelona and Real Madrid and i don't like how they have become so week after winning their last La Liga title in 2021. In the first half of the match, Atletico Madrid was leading but in the second half, Espanyol overpowered them and scored two goals which has gave them an edge to defeat Atletico Madrid.

It was an incredible second half with Sevilla coming back looking improved after equalising the scores and giving their fans a glimpse of hope to probably take the game to a full time 2:2 draw to share points, only for Navarro to seal the 3 points for Athletic Bilbao in the 81 minutes.

Nico is too young to carry this team for long, I think his teammates needs to do more in harmonizing his energy for the team. In other news ATM has just lost their first match of the season to Espanyol who came from behind to win 2:1 after an early 37 minutes lead from ATM, a goal from Alvarez which was later cancelled by Rubio and Milla goals in the 73 and 84 minutes respectively.

I most really say regardless of Marcus rashford Flick substanted him in a previous match due to a hamstring injury, which sometimes not really necessarily because of his performance Rashford played  22 minutes in Barcelona wins over mallorca, attempting on dribbling registering no shots, and loses possession three times, the Spanish media had mixed reviews of debut with some praising his work rate and others finding his performance underwhelming, pulse which he made mentioned of saying that he is reminding everyone that he won't be shy about making radical change in making his own perspective.

Bilbao won by 3 goals and Sevilla were able to secure a goal in the end, I loved that Sevilla was able to make such close comeback after  they were at some point two goals down, I did not see that coming  that they be able  to get that much goal in this game and it looks like Bilbao did took advantage of the fact that they were playing  from home so we'll.

Too bad, but your guess was wrong my friend. Because in this match, although it is true that Atletico Madrid was able to control the ball quite significantly. But in fact in this match Atletico Madrid had to lose to Espanyol with a score of 2-1. It is actually very unfortunate that Atletico Madrid lost this match, because this match against Espanyol was their first match this season. So usually if you experience defeat in the first match, it will greatly affect the mentality of the players. That's why I really regret the defeat experienced by Atletico Madrid's in this match.

I think Atletico Madrid's needs to make changes to the position of its players. Because I saw that in this match Atletico Madrid was not too focused on the flow of attacks and in my opinion this needs to be fixed, by rotating its midfielders. And besides that Atletico Madrid's defenders also seemed to not play well in this match, this also really must be underlined, because if Atletico Madrid's does not change its defenders for the better, I think they will find it difficult to break into the top 4 positions in the league.

Funny, enough, Sevilla almost turned it around for themselves in the second half, at least a draw was better than a loss but in football, there's nothing like almost or nearly. If you didn't win then you didn't win. Sevilla played well but they couldn't find the back of the net late on instead it was Bilbao who scored again to win the tie.

Atletico Madrid didn't look like they would be a trophy contender this season, and it was surprising to see them start the season with a defeat. Before the match, Atletico were the favorites, I didn't expect them to lose, and and it seems many bettors suffered defeat in the match.
Despite dominating possession, Atletico failed to create many threatening chances. For Espanyol, the win was a huge coup, they marked the new season by beating one of the elite teams in La Liga.
