La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[barisbilgili]

Two matches with one loss and one draw clearly reduce their chances, so I think it's reasonable for bookmakers to give Atletico these odds because they have been a little worrying since the start.

Although this kind of performance seems somewhat normal for Atletico, as every year they start the season poorly and slowly build hope, winning the title is clearly very difficult.
In the end, we will only see competition until the end between Barcelona and Real Madrid, because every season is like this (except for the 2020 season), so I don't have high hopes for Atletico.

They have always been a top club in La Liga, which is undeniable, but making them a contender for the trophy seems very difficult because Simeone has always been monotonous every season and is only ever satisfied with a Champions League spot.

Atletico Madrid doesn't seem ready for the big games this season because how can they be missing out on good points when the season just kickoff? If Los Colchoneros are losing stands and points in this early phase of La Liga then I wonder what they will do when it's mid-season, how will they be able to cope? Games are played and elite teams have targets, they're not dropping any charge other than facing themselves with formidable stands and leaning on big winnings. Barcelona and Real Madrid are enchancing their performances for this season, definitely not the time to give excuses rather pushing for outstanding results.

As the battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona continues, Atletico Madrid, who I thought would be the third contender this year, started the season with a major disappointment in two matches. Having collected only one point in two matches, Atletico Madrid is at the bottom of the table. Neither team they played was particularly strong. Therefore, it looks like Atletico Madrid will drop points even more this year.

Atletico Madrid didn't make many changes for this season so I don't think they will do much and what happened now is surprising but for me this is only temporary because no matter what they are a team that should be watched out for even though they won't be able to disrupt the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona so maybe Atletico Madrid will only compete for the top 4 again like last season.

Villarreal are still playing well with the team and are at the top of the points table. But it should be remembered that all the teams have only played 2 matches of the season. At the moment, the task of the teams should be to identify their weaknesses and turn them into strengths rather than winning matches. In the case of Villarreal, I have big doubts about their consistency. I am still not sure how long they will play well. I have seen inconsistent performances from them most of the time. Real Madrid and Barcelona should be the best choices to win the league title. Barcelona in particular has a better chance.

The season is still very early to know the team that will win the title. Most of these teams are yet to show us how prepared they are this season, and that is why I feel like we should give them time to see how good they will be this season, and that is how we will know the favourite that will win the title this season.

As for Barcelona and Real Madrid, we all know these are two clubs in La Liga that we are sure of winning the league. They are top teams currently, especially Barcelona, because Real Madrid had so many changes that may delay their good performance until the players adapt to the coach's style of play.

I think this season LaLiga trophy is between Real Madrid vs Barcelona as I don't think Atletico Madrid can keep up as a major contender for the trophy. Even before now, Atletico Madrid has never been so serious in competing for the trophy rather they are only interested in securing their spot at the top of the table in other for them to secure their ticket for the UEFA Chiampions league. Of course I think they wouldn't want to miss not qualifying for the UEFA Chiampions league for any form of lagging . They would step on there games but the LaLiga trophy is far from their reach especially with this pattern of Football Atletico Madrid is using,it may take decades for them to win the LaLiga trophy.

This is not a good start for Atletico Madrid after following a draw and one defeat against the two previous matches.
The defeat from of Espanyol was very unfortunate because Atletico Madrid should be able to get three full points in the match and the draw they lived when facing Elche also gave a little disappointment.
Elche was able to appear much better because they managed to get two points so far despite facing a much stronger opponent.
And vice versa Espanyol's appearance, which has so far been much better because it has achieved a draw and won in the previous two matches.

They have had very bad start in this season but I believe that they will recover from this mini crisis and return to top positions later. Even without two early bad matches, Atletico Madrid in my opinion nearly can not compete for La Liga title with Barcelona and Real Madrid. These bad early matches make their race for a third or fourth position more difficult but I believe they will get it at the season ending.

They started the season badly. There are still many matches left and Atletico Madrid will have many opportunities to improve. Since the end of last season, I have been looking at Diego Simeone with a bit of a bad feeling because his focus on the team is perhaps a little low. The players were not mentally prepared to do better.
Simeone is an experienced manager and I hope he will be able to get the team back on a winning streak by working harder.

Diego Simeone has been in Atletico Madrid in many years and he joined them when they were in big crisis, gradually built up their squad and gained success in La Liga and Champions League. He has proven his management capability through many hard times in the club and this season won't beat him down. Anyway, whatever happens in this season, he has been already marked in Atletico Madrid history as one of their most successful and legendary head coaches.

If we look at the beginning, we can never consider the upcoming matches. Because there have been many times when they went through a bad time in the beginning but have done very well since then. But if we compare Atletico Madrid with Barcelona or Real Madrid, then maybe it will not be right. Because Atletico Madrid is not a better team than them. There are many stronger teams than Atletico Madrid this season, such as Chelsea, PSG, all these teams, if we talk about them, then maybe Atletico Madrid will lag behind a lot.

Atletico Madrid is not a bad team, a very good and very strong team is Atletico Madrid, they started their matches very badly, it was never expected from Atletico Madrid. Let's see what they can do in the upcoming matches.

This season's journey is still very long indeed and we don't know which team will be able to maintain consistency but if we look at the strength in the last 2 matches of the La Liga team I think Real Madrid did not make their team better this season and this is in contrast to Barcelona although from our point of view we have our own point of view but I think there are a few indications that can be a reference to predict which team will be the champion but apart from that I will still believe that fierce competition will continue to occur between these two rivals

The historic rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona certainly won't change this season; it always has been and always will be. Real Madrid doesn't seem to have improved compared to last year, perhaps just time to stabilize? I hope they can show us their numbers in a couple of weeks; they have a promising squad, but they seem a bit lacking in energy yet.
I'll wait a little longer before making any bets on La Liga.

My last two bets on both teams paid off giving my bankroll the little boost. But when they face each other the fairest bet might be BTTS asI expect both sides to give it their all and avoid getting outplayed.
That said, I’m leaning slightly toward Real Madrid ^{and voted for them}. I find their squad overall more balanced and cohesive. Honestly, they were just missing a bit of luck last season to lift the trophy.

The difference is already apparent in Barcelona's higher scoreline than Real Madrid's.
Real Madrid only managed one goal against Osasuna, and even worse, Real Madrid was playing at home against a less formidable team.
I think betting on Barcelona to win the title this season is more promising than betting on Real Madrid.

[bastisisca]

Can we just give Osasuna their props?
..
What matters is how Xabi Alonso contributes to the team.

I believe one of Real Madrid's biggest problems is their inability to play well as a team. If the team focuses on teamwork rather than individual play, many of these problems will disappear, and they will start playing the way their fans expect. Xabi Alonso has a lot to do in this regard.

I keep saying we're too prejudiced against Real Madrid. They're a team that's lost their minds, that is, their great coach. We need to adopt a different mindset. i am firmly convinced the new coach will do well; we just need to give him some time.
The players are the same, they certainly haven't become bad.

It is noted that Atletico Madrid has added 10 players to its squad in this summer's transfer market, so I think they have made a lot of changes, but that is not the problem, because I think the problem lies with Simeone, the tactician has run out of ideas with Atletico and the signs are clearly visible in their last 2 matches, yes indeed in terms of competition they are still considered capable of competing for at least the top 4 but for the title they will not be able to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid. so in this case the management must be brave to take risks by immediately thinking about changes in the coaching chair if their target is the title but if the target is only to play safe then use Simeone until retirement.

Both Barcelona & Real Madrid have had a perfect run in La Liga so far, I don't understand what you mean by Real Madrid hasn't improved.

Matchday #1
Mallorca 0 - 3 Barcelona
Real Madrid 1 - 0 Osasuna

Matchday #2
Levante 2 - 3 Barcelona
Real Oviedo 0 - 3 Real Madrid

Even though Real Madrid hasn't had impressive results, they've at least consistently earned 3 points. That alone is enough for me & several other users who like to bet on Real Madrid to win. Well, hopefully their performance won't be bad in the next few matches.

Yes, Atletico Madrid hasn't made significant progress this season, but they're actually experiencing a decline. I don't think Atletico Madrid can deny that. Losing to Espanyol and drawing with a newly promoted team is nothing to be taken for granted. So, it's clear that Atletico Madrid is currently experiencing a drastic decline in performance. I don't really understand why Atletico Madrid's performance has become so poor. As we know, Atletico Madrid brought in a lot of new players in this season's transfer window. In fact, you could say Atletico Madrid is the most aggressive team in La Liga when it comes to transfers.

Ten players have been brought in this season. But strangely, their performance is currently less than stellar. I think the main cause is the players' adaptation. It's certainly not easy for new players to adapt quickly. So, with that in mind, I think it's understandable that they're performing poorly. With that in mind, I hope Atletico Madrid can recover quickly. Because it would certainly be less exciting if Atletico Madrid did not take part in the La Liga title race this season.

[pewboy]

Vini has never been selfish in releasing passes, you see that assist he gave to Mbappe! I'm very sure if it was Mbappe that was in that position, he would have taken the shot. The thing is, non of them is selfish, there are times players will feel the need or urge to take a shot while we the viewers will be shouting pass the ball, that's basically because we are seeing all the camera angles at that time. Yeah, he hasn't found his best starting eleven and that's because they are which is also good too. It's really not easy for him, some many options to pick from.
There was a time Benzema was frustrated with Vini jr because he holds the ball for too long. Electric Brazilian like Vini jr, Neymar Jr, Ronaldinho always hold on to the ball because they believe they are very skilled and what's to showcase some of those skills but when they mature they become a very good play marker. Vini jr is now a matured footballer and asides from last season he hasn't really had much poor season.

The fact that players mature is absolutely normal, like normal life.
Even the fact that they start to trust each other isn't something that can happen by magic, it happens over time as players begin to become friends and trust each other.
If they can really work as a team, their game will definitely improve.

I actually liked Real Madrid's performance over the past two weeks. Everyone was hoping to see more goals, but their scoring numbers seem to have decreased slightly. They only scored one goal in the first week, and this week, despite scoring three, they've missed more opportunities. Real Madrid will definitely have a match where they'll score a goal in their expected performance. I really enjoy watching this rivalry in Spain. The rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid is what keeps us watching the Spanish league.

Yes, I'm sorry to say it, but it will be a championship completely dominated by these two teams. It's a dualism that has been going on for years and the only one who has managed to break this is Atletico, but they did it many years ago and I don't know if it will be possible to do it again.

Yes, Real Madrid is much less performing than Barcelona, but it must be said that there could also be a change in progress, they could surprise us, football is like that, it's strange and what you expect never happens, it's as beautiful as it is unpredictable.

Real Madrid has actually established good teamwork. This is evident from the victories achieved over the past two weeks. Although Real Madrid only scored one goal in the match against Osasuna, they then began to deliver satisfactory results winning 3-0 against Real Oviedo. Statistically Real Madrid is quite good with about sixty-five percent ball possession. They have taken about ten shots on goal, resulting in three goals. This puts Real Madrid in third place in the standings with six points. Next, Real Madrid will face Mallorca in a few days. So I think this match will determine how Real Madrid shows good performance and teamwork. However, this team actually has many talented players to rely on. But team harmony and cohesiveness are also the main keys to making the best performance they can give. So let's see Real Madrid's next performance so that we can use it as a reference for our analysis.

I think the most important thing right now is that Real wins. At this stage, while they are learning to play with Alonso, the main goal is to get three points in every match. It doesn’t matter what the score is 1-0, 3-0, or 5-0 the key is that they keep winning and don’t allow Barcelona to pull ahead already at the very start of the season. So far, I don’t see anything wrong with Real’s game. I can say that Alonso is working very well, but it’s still too early to judge how they will compete with Barcelona this season. We need to wait at least until they face each other.

It will never change indeed unless Atletico Madrid get their sh*t together.    It will go on to be a title rivalry between only these two teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid...

Barcelona are bookmakers' favourite for the La Liga title this season. But by a slight gap... After seeing how consistent Xabi Alonso's team is, we would have a better idea. For now I'm also one of those people who are expecting a back-to-back for Barcelona.

[Futurexxx]

By looking at the past result of real Madrid, it shows that real madrid are not doing that bad as most people are making it looks like, though I still see them in a building stage.
Xabi Alonso is trying to set up a winning team, that's doesn't mean that he has a lot of time on his side, he needs to keep winning while building his team because if the results is not coming forth while building his team, he will be sacked in no distance time, and that is what he is doing.
When they are up against Barcelona or atletico madrid, that's when we are going to know how far they have evolved, but as for now, they are doing just fine in my own opinion.
