La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[TastyChillySauce00]

No lord Antony, No party. That's what happen to the Betis when they play without Antony. They're getting nerfed. Their performance in this game is abysmal. They lose the possession to the Elche, and lack of creativity. Their front three were easily predicted by Elche, and always struggled to score.
They only a bit lucky in the second half because of a goal that help them to equalize the score. I don't think they can repeat what they achieve last season with this kind of terrible performance.

They need urgently sign Antony from MU to improve their creativity upfront. They are just mid table team without him.

This part got me laughing, "they are just a mid table team without him" now the question is, has Real Betis ever been a top team in La Liga? Real Betis were still a mid table team even with him in the squad. You're sounding as if, if they sign Anthony now all there problems will be over and they will top La Liga and win it at the end of the season including winning other trophies that's available this season.

Dude, none is saying they will win everything by having Antony. Being a top team is not always mean a team that win everything in any season. It can be like a team that finished at the up half. He also helped them to reach UECL final, but failed against Chelsea. He's even being labelled as hero in betis.

Based on today's market odds.
Real Madrid @1.22 Draw @6.00 Osasuna @12.00

We are confident that Real Madrid will win because they are playing at home with all their preparations and their new squad, so we predict that Real Madrid will win easily.

However, surprises are not uncommon, meaning Real Madrid may not capitalize on their advantage this skepticism about potential surprises aside, the one certainty is that Real Madrid will win.

Three points in the inaugural match will be obtained by Real Madrid over Osasuna. With the Real Madrid squad championed by Alonso, I'm sure even though Osasuna the team is strong but for Real Madrid three points will be a target that is not too difficult to get.

The first thing I saw on my optimism to the results that Real Madrid would get was the Santiago Bernabeu. Second, Guller and their new new player brought in during Xabi Alonso became coach.
Two Real Madrid wing -backs, Trent and Carreras will be the players who will trouble Osasuna from the right and left side of their defense.
Third, Statistics Head to Head of Real Madrid vs Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Yes in a game of football anything can happen but we certainly know that Real Madrid winning this game is the only thing that can happen here, they've got the squad needed for this year campaign, and again Real Madrid won't stand a chance to lose gard this year trophy as they have gone trophyless last season so I don't think Xabi Alonso will want to keep to that track already the competition is between Real Madrid and Barcelona, every other teams should just be concerned of securing a spot in the top four, as Real Madrid and Barcelona do the fighting.

Since when did Xabi Alonso change his name to Xavi Alonso? 😁

What Real Madrid has done this season by recruiting a new coach and players doesn't guarantee better results. If you believe that Real Madrid didn't win a title last season and will win one this season, that seems like a baseless statement.
Just look at how Real Madrid's squad is filled with star players, yet they failed to win a title last season.
So, there's no guarantee that Real Madrid will win the title this season, as it all depends on the coach and luck, as to whether players suffer injuries again like last season.

The strongest candidate for me is still Barcelona 😋

I was surprised when I read it for a moment, wondering which one was correct. He also wrote xavi, not in capital letters. Anyway, Real Madrid is likely to start with three points, like Barcelona. Xabi Alanso doesn't want to drop points from the first leg. I think Xabi Alanso will be more successful than Ancelotti, but that doesn't mean the title is guaranteed. It's a long time coming, and injuries will be crucial along the way.

[armanda90]

Osasuna will be visiting Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, so Real Madrid is in a good position to beat Osasuna this night. Real Madrid shouldn't underestimate Osasuna because Osasuna defeated them in the same stadium last season. Barcelona has already started this season's campaign in a good way, and they are leading the La Liga table with goal difference. Real Madrid needs to take all 3 points from Osasuna so that they can start mounting pressure on Barcelona now, but if they fail to beat Osasuna, it could be a big blow for them.

Nice to see debut of Xabi Alonso today with Real Madrid will success getting three points against Osasuna? based on the current squad list announcement Madrid not get problem with their players and all of them already for playing at the first match except Jude Bellingham have been absent for several months later. New recruitment Álvaro Carreras already in the squad list players for facing Osasuna around few hours later and interested to know who will play for the early minutes at defender and midfielder position. Difficult for predicting with starting line up Real Madrid today against Osasuna will Alonso play with three central defender and attacking line position filling by Mbappe and Vinicius Jr?

Three points most important for Madrid after Barcelona success taking three points when defeating Real Mallorca, I think have pressure for Madrid after rival team winning the match and should win from Osasuna around two until three goals.

I quite understand what both of you are saying, and also I agree with both of you about Real Betis and also Anthony. Real Betis it's not none to be among the top teams in the league but a mid table team, but if we could watch Anthony's performance last season in the club, it was good looking because he has make a lot of impact to the team, is because of him I followed Real Betis each game throughout last season, I want him to improve since he couldn't have that done in Manchester United and he was seen has a liability.

Real Betis key players went injured and that also affected them. I was highly disappointed by Real Betis after they have secured victory since before the end of first half, comparing the different time between the two goals I will say Real Betis disappoint me.

This is a must win game for Real Madrid to begin their journey with hope and confidence. What happened last season was a total mess, they won't definitely allow that to happen again. Moreover, Alonso as the new head coach couple with the new signings they made to their squad put them at the advantage against Osasuna. Although, Osasuna is known to be a sturbon team against the big ones alongside Mallorca but I don't expect anything less from Real Madrid other than a victory. Barcelona as their strongest rival secured a victory in their opening and are already a step ahead. Real Madrid will be eager to make it even by winning it today too.

For me, I consider Athletico Madrid a mediocre team due to the way the club's hierarchy runs the affairs of the club, for several years Athletico Madrid can only boast of maybe one or two la liga titles and two champions league runners up and yet the club went ahead to retain Diego Simeone who has only succeeded in making the club a third place figure despite spending huge amount of money in the transfer market over the years, I think its time for a change at club.

Atletico Madrid is not considered a brawny team. Last season we thought the team  would be a contestent for the title. But the team's performance was quite erratic. Even then , the team was able to stay in the top 3 of the table due to a strong defense. But this season we do not see any positive change in Atletico Madrid's  performance. The team will fight to stay in the Champions League zone. But the team will not be able to fight for the title. At least by looking at their performance in the first match, this can be definitely presume.

The only problem with Athletico Madrid is the fact that they never aim high, they are always comfortable with their  current status, if a manager with very  high ambitions takes over at the club then I can bet that within two or four years Athletico Madrid could lift the champions league trophy, it depends on the ambitions and aspirations of the coach and the entire team and I believe that's what's missing in the Athletico Madrid dressing room.

Osasuna is not too strong and competitive enough for getting points from Real Madrid and I believe that Xabi Alonso will have a first win in La Liga as a head coach of Real Madrid. it will be good start for him while remaining journey in this season is very challenging with expectation of Real Madrid to win La Liga and Champions League titles while Barcelona will still be a very strong competitor and hard to be beaten.

Difficult for predicting with starting line up Real Madrid today against Osasuna will Alonso play with three central defender and attacking line position filling by Mbappe and Vinicius Jr?

It's impossible for Xabi Alonso to don't use either Mbappe or Vinicius Junior but he can do it with Rodrygo. Both Mbappe and Vinicius will play together in many matches for Real Madrid in this season and Xabi Alonso will have to solve a big issue on how to combine these attacking players as well as build up a system that can cover lack of proactive defense from Mbappe and Vinicius.

We often see Atletico Madrid playing more defensively than attacking, which I don't like at all. The modern attacking mentality is very important. If Atletico Madrid can't create an attacking mentality with a defensive mentality, then their consistency is a bit difficult. Nowadays we see good results from those who have a high desire to score goals and play attacking football. You even have to keep the defense strong as well as the attack. Basically, the attack has to be strong to keep the whole team balanced.
Atletico Madrid doesn't have that balance. They play defensive football and are satisfied with little, which has a negative effect on them. I think they need to change their mentality to improve and they definitely need to improve it and increase their hunger.

They played well against Elche, but couldn't get the result. They scored only one goal and were in a risky situation. When Elche equalized, Real Betis couldn't score the second goal that would have turned the score in their favor. They and Antony had a great rapport last year, but this season, the league has just started, so I think they can improve over time.

Real Madrid's team this time is quite strong. Especially the defense has been strengthened by Alonso. Last season we saw Madrid's shaky defense. Real Madrid lost every match against Barcelona by a big margin. However, if Mabappe or Vini get injured, then Madrid will definitely face big problems. Hopefully that will not happen. Unless Real Madrid is very unlucky. Madrid has a strong squad. Alonso is also a very talented coach. I am waiting to see Madrid's success in the Alonso era. But so far we have seen that the Madrid squad is not completely stable. Even then, Madrid will start this season by getting 3 points against Osasuna.

[Adbitco]

I just wonder the brand of weed this Mickel Obi is smoking of recent, he talk out of proportion these days. Mr back pass during his Chelsea days, that's all I remember about him always passing the ball backwards and killing attacks in the process. Mickel that's not even among the top 200 midfielders if we start ranking them is here talking about Kroos that be can't even lace his boots.

Yes the Real Madrid board has seriously improved the squad most especially the defense by adding a center back, right back and also a left back. The defense has the brilliant Huijsen who I strongly think will be very important for the club going forward, then they have Arnold at the right back and most importantly the return of Dani Carvajal, both will be a good position there and also Alonso has the ability to twerk formation and accommodate both with a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 formation where Carvajal can play right center back and Arnold plays Right wing back, same thing with the left side with the addition of Alvaro Fernandez also boosting the left flank with him been able to play either as a traditional left back or left wing back.

As for your claims about the attack missing either of the two players Mbappe or Vinicius when they are out injured I will say yes they will lack some quality but either of them out wouldn’t cause much of a problem as long as there is still Rodrigo who I think can fit in for both of them. The player though I think if he gets injured will be scary for Real Madrid is Dean Huijsen who we saw at the club World Cup as the bedrock of the team. Him been out means the center back pairing goes back to same thing as last season which is definitely a disaster

[Lannakosa]

Mickel that's not even among the top 200 midfielders if we start ranking them is here talking about Kroos that be can't even lace his boots.

Everyone may have their own opinion about Kroos, but his absence in Real is too obvious to say that it had no impact on the midfield. And this season there will be no Modric, and I have no doubt that there will be those who say he was already old and no longer influenced the game, but I think his absence will also be noticeable for Real. They are not able to find replacements for these players that quickly, and that is obvious.

[Lida93]

Well apart from them which other team since like over two decades have been able to challenge Barcelona or real Madrid? I think you get the picture, it's not easy when these two giants have made the Spanish La Liga a domestic title that is meant to be won by only them, I think even the board see that Simone is someone that have achieved the unthinkable that's from my perspective though. La Liga isn't all that competitive that other teams will challenge for the trophy and ATM are the guys doing and I just feel they are scared of being floated out of the picture of any drastic change occur.

Neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid have been gifted the Spanish title at any point in time, they put in hard work, perseverance, finances and planning above all they always maintain their standards, Athletico Madrid only needs to create their own history in the midst of these two Spanish giants and in Europe too, they have what it takes, they only have to anticipate and work towards it determined.

What Real Madrid has done this season by recruiting a new coach and players doesn't guarantee better results. If you believe that Real Madrid didn't win a title last season and will win one this season, that seems like a baseless statement.
Just look at how Real Madrid's squad is filled with star players, yet they failed to win a title last season.

I don't think this is unfounded, but if we look at the history of trophy wins from season to season, they always alternate. If last season failed to win a trophy, usually the next season will. I think this kind of thinking is understandable, especially since Real Madrid isn't a team that's slumped and struggles to recover; they're a team that bounces back quickly. Furthermore, the arrival of many new players, even with a new coach, proves Real Madrid's seriousness in winning trophies this season.

So, there's no guarantee that Real Madrid will win the title this season, as it all depends on the coach and luck, as to whether players suffer injuries again like last season.

The strongest candidate for me is still Barcelona 😋

Similarly, with Barcelona, there's no guarantee that Barcelona will win trophies. We never know what will happen in the future, whether players get injured or something else. So, for me, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the strongest candidates to win trophies this season because both teams have equally strong squads to achieve that goal. Yes, luck is also a significant factor. But what's clear is that this season's La Liga will be more competitive, and I can't wait for their first El Clasico of the season.

Mickel that's not even among the top 200 midfielders if we start ranking them is here talking about Kroos that be can't even lace his boots.

I don’t even remember who John Obi Mikel is anymore, and after searching, it turns out he used to be a midfielder at Chelsea. But I just wonder why a footballer like him would call Toni Kroos an “average midfielder,” when his own achievements aren’t even comparable to Kroos’s. He talks about Kroos as if he’s already far better than him.
This is exactly what people mean by 'empty vessels make the most noise', someone with minimal achievements speaking as if he’s the best.

[MArsland]

Atletico Madrid must have very big trust in Diego Simeone to have him continue at the club for 14 years and achieving little in this period of time or could it be that he has something with the club that holds him bound to that position for this long time? The club has backed him up properly with good signings this summer so hopefully there will be no excuses for failure this time.

It doesn't make sense to keep a coach who hasn't delivered any results for the club he been with for over a decade. Other teams are adapting to modern play, and even coaches who fail for one or two seasons are replaced to bring about change. Atletico Madrid is an exception, and it seems there something special between Simeone and the club owner.

To be honest I don't see Atletico Madrid having the ambition to compete for the La Liga title. How boring La Liga would be if it were just Madrid and Barcelona all the time.


The Madrid match will start in an hour, and they have already released their starting lineup. Mastantuono is also expected to get playing time in today opening match.

[AYOBA]

This is a must win game for Real Madrid to begin their journey with hope and confidence. What happened last season was a total mess, they won't definitely allow that to happen again. Moreover, Alonso as the new head coach couple with the new signings they made to their squad put them at the advantage against Osasuna. Although, Osasuna is known to be a sturbon team against the big ones alongside Mallorca but I don't expect anything less from Real Madrid other than a victory. Barcelona as their strongest rival secured a victory in their opening and are already a step ahead. Real Madrid will be eager to make it even by winning it today too.

Let's wait and see how the Real Madrid performances can go this season. Because this is what we're saying every season—that the team will not allow what happened to them last season to happen again—but when the season comes, they will still repeat the same thing. It comes to say this season they begin their journey with a new coach today, which is Xabi Alonso, and I can have hope he will  try as much as possible to make the team to be better than last season.

Because we all know that Xabi Alonso is always trying his possible best to make the team a good standard so that they will be able to get him to the top of the leagues all the time, Alonso is a manager with integrity and dignity. That’s why I’m also expecting Real Madrid to do well this season, except they refuse to cooperate with the new coach; since if they refuse to follow the coach’s rules, the team will also not get what they want.
