La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[TelolettOm]

Atletico for me is a synonym of a third team in La Liga. In last 10 seasons, they won one, been 2nd twice and had been 3rd the rest. There's no another name except Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid when it comes to top three. So, whatever the performance is, there's not really much pressure unless Atletico loses its third place. There have been some changes on Atletico I didn't liked like the departure of Angel Correa, Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino all of whom had a great field presence. The offense of Atletico is still solid with Alexander Sorloth, Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann but they need to work better on defense with the new players.

Yes, so far, these three clubs have been the most consistent each season in La Liga. The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is always fierce in El Clásico, and the two will fight fiercely for first place until the end. Well, this is true, because this season there have been quite significant changes at Real Madrid, including the manager. So, will Real Madrid reclaim the La Liga trophy, or will Barcelona retain it?

Now, we are also preparing to focus on UCL matches. Where they will also face top clubs from Europe. And Barcelona is quite an interesting match for the clubs they will face.

It's now almost becoming a norm for Real Madrid Vs Manchester City fixtures to be seen in the Champions League. Coincidence or arranged? I don't know what to think here I'm just saying. In the last 5 or 6 years they have been playing against each other every season. As for Real Madrid Vs Liverpool this will be the third or fourth meetings between them in the last 5 years. It's really going to be interesting, Alonso will have to face two top English teams in the group phase.

Real Madrid will face a very tough opponent in this season's Champions League group stage. However, I'm still quite optimistic. Despite the many changes to the Real Madrid squad, they remain the Champions League kings, possessing a very strong mentality when competing in important, high-tension matches.
Not only Liverpool and Manchester City, but Juventus, Benfica, and Monaco are also opponents not to be underestimated. But I'm actually happy with this group, at least from the start, we'll see exciting and intense matches in this season's Champions League group stage.

At first, i also thought that there would be competition between the two Real Madrid stars, Mbappe and Vinicius. However, it turned out to be beyond expectations that they were able to work well together as a team, and we will see something extraordinary like this. I believe they are still relatively young players, and their egos are still quite large, they each want to stand out more than the others, which is why fans feared that when they played as individuals rather than as a team, it would inevitably affect the team's playing style. However, if they continue to perform with solid teamwork, they will become the unstoppable spearhead of Real Madrid.

This is being overstated, as if Vinicius will feel threatened by Mbappé's arrival, which has led to much speculation from some observers. But actually that's normal as it's about the egos of each player. However, if the coach can manage them well, what will happen is that their strengths will only grow. Xabi Alonso has the ability to handle this problem, and I'm sure he understands what needs to be done so that each player can work well with each other. Real Madrid achieved a good result in their first match, and we hope this will be a turning point for the changes the coach can make to make the team stronger.

Since last season, this news has been constantly exaggerated, even though Vinicius and Mbappé are Real Madrid's two mainstays in attack. There's no competition between them, but rather, they work together to penetrate the opponent's defense.
Xabi Alonso knows what he has to do and shouldn't constantly blame these two players when Real Madrid's performance is poor.

It's really going to be interesting, Alonso will have to face two top English teams in the group phase.

Xabi Alonso actually has a very stressful job in Real Madrid as they are too big, successful and ambitious club, therefore they would like to win all titles if possible especially biggest titles like UEFA Champions League and La Liga. This drawing result is certainly quite disappointed for Xabi Alonso as he will have many big clashes with big clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool and Juventus together with other opponents. The fixture contains kind of high risk for Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso in very early phase of their adventure in Champions League this season.

Real Madrid will face a very tough opponent in this season's Champions League group stage. However, I'm still quite optimistic. Despite the many changes to the Real Madrid squad, they remain the Champions League kings, possessing a very strong mentality when competing in important, high-tension matches.
Not only Liverpool and Manchester City, but Juventus, Benfica, and Monaco are also opponents not to be underestimated. But I'm actually happy with this group, at least from the start, we'll see exciting and intense matches in this season's Champions League group stage.

It's a very tough fixture for Real Madrid but they can not change it and to win UEFA Champions League title, a champion must go through a very challenging journey and beat many strong opponents down along their road to a trophy. Xabi Alonso has enough experience in biggest competitions from Premier League, La Liga, Champions League at club level and World Cup as well as Euro tournaments at national team level. From his experience, he will be very careful with every match of Real Madrid before they can go to a first knock out phase.

It's understandable that everyone initially thought that way, as Mbappe previously appeared selfish while at PSG. But everything changed after joining Madrid, as Madrid always prioritizes teamwork and requires the player to put aside selfishness. Last season, Mbappe also frequently contributed to Vinic and other players, creating scoring opportunities. One important thing to remember is that all Madrid players share the same goal achieving brilliant results in all competitions to enhance their experience and reputation.

Real Betis three matches so far have been quite disappointing. They haven't lost yet, but have only managed five points. I've noticed they're having problems in attack, and the loss of someone like Antony seems to have affected their results. I also haven't seen Isco in their lineup for the past three weeks. Is he injured? If so, it's clear why Betis are struggling to pick up 3 points, as Antony and Isco are arguably the backbone of the team.
So far, Betis is still trying to re sign Antony from Manchester United with the same option: a loan.

That's true. It just seems as though the playmakers that made Betis to be strong and formidable either picked up injuries or have returned to their parent club because Isco like you mentioned wasn't in the game or even the lineup.
I just don't know why Betis can't purchase Anthony instead of opting for another loan. Although this time around, there's an option to by stated in the clause. The club really needs his services and I have to confess that it was at Real betis that I saw a different Anthony from the one I saw at Man UTD.

Barcelona may still have their best performance, but this season's El Classico will be different. Real Madrid's defence is different from last season, and we can see that Real Madrid players are now well-organised, attacking and defending together; even if Barcelona wins the match, they will struggle to defeat Real Madrid.

Each team evaluates and then corrects their mistakes. Regarding El Clasico, the first El Clasico match will take place in October, Real Madrid - Barcelona. The match will be played at Santiago Bernabeu (Real Madrid home), I've looked at the bookies for this match on several online gambling platforms, but I haven't found any. Since this is Real Madrid home match, let's assume they're the favorites. I think it's reasonable to expect Real Madrid to win this match, even if it's by a small goal difference.

The fact that they are playing each other in the group stage is a trifle compared to the fact that they will most likely meet again in the playoffs. This repeatability of the Champions League is incredibly annoying. Plus, on paper we have interesting pairings, but the teams (top and near top) have practically no risk of not making it to the playoffs, so half of the games will be almost like friendly matches. UEFA is trying to boost the teams' motivation with additional bonuses for those who take higher places, but this works poorly given the teams' busy schedules in national championships.

Atletico Madrid needs to make changes to compete for third place by the end of the season, and letting the previous two matches play out will make it difficult for them to perform consistently.
Sometimes teams don't start the season smoothly, and they'll constantly try to fix any shortcomings, and that's often the case with Atletico Madrid.
While I'm confident they can reach the top three by the end of the season, the team's weaknesses need to be addressed immediately by the coach, because if it continues it will make it difficult for them to catch up to the big three position..

Looking at the strength of Atletico Madrid's current squad, I have no doubt they can bounce back, especially since Diego Simeone has been in charge of Atletico Madrid for a long time. The squad is strong in all areas this season, but they've had a very poor start to the season in their first two matches.
Overall, I'm a little surprised that Diego Simeone hasn't made many changes to Atletico Madrid's squad this season. He seems confident in his abilities, but in reality, their performance in the first two matches of the season has been very poor. So, I think it's just a matter of time before Atletico Madrid gets back on track.

Yes, of course we are all surprised by the results achieved by Atletico, even though there are still many matches and opportunities to improve their position in the standings. The main key for Diego Simeone is to immediately make a comprehensive improvement and must immediately improve as quickly as possible, and also improve the chemistry between players, and optimize the right rotation to maintain fitness and avoid fatigue, Diego Simeone must immediately find an effective combination of players and strategies so that the team can return to its best performance to compete closely with competitors in La Liga this season.

Tonight, there are two matches that I think will be very exciting to bet on, the match between Elche vs Levante and also Valencia vs Getafe. Why do I say these matches are very good to bet on, because I think these two matches are very easy to predict. Just like in the Elche vs Levante match, in this match, I think it is clear that Elche will be the biggest winner. Because basically, if we look at the last two matches played by these two teams in La Liga, I think Elche's results are much better than Levante. Because basically, in the two matches that Elche has played, they managed to hold big teams like Atletico Madrid and Real Betis to a draw. Meanwhile, Levante, they failed to secure points from the two matches they have played so far, because they suffered defeats in both of their matches. So with that, I personally am very confident that Elche will most likely win in this match.

Then for the Valencia vs Getafe match, I think this match will clearly be won by Getafe. As we know, Getafe has won their last two matches. Meanwhile, Valencia hasn't managed to secure a single win in their last two matches. So, given that, I think Getafe will win this match. Therefore, I'll bet on Getafe in this match. So, what do you all think?

I think that's a fair prediction. Recent form is always important imo. That being said, 2 games are too few to make a conclusive judgment. I'd be careful not to make a bold prediction this early in the season, but there's no harm if you're just doing it for fun. I think some bookies put Valencia as the favorite, though, not sure why. Maybe because of the result of last season or H2H result?

Looking at these fixtures, it looks mouthwatering especially the games against Chelsea and the game against Bayern Munich, these two games is their most difficult fixture if you ask me which of the games they are going to be tested the more.

Looking at this Barcelona side against Bayern Munich, I think that they have what it takes to win that one if they can perform according to their standard on the day, but against Chelsea, they really need to look at the way they attack and defend because they will be brutally punished if they come out all attacking with their fullbacks flying just as psg did, though nothing is guaranteed yet but what I am very sure of is that it's going to be an interesting encounter that I will be looking up to.

I think it is precisely for this reason that the team was unable to win and struggled to find a fair result. Anthony is a great player who in my opinion had found his dimension in that team. It would be a real shame if he didn't continue his adventure there, but I think it's done now.

From what I know he managed to continue his adventure with Real Betis I read an article in the Sun that says: "Antony leaves the villa and moves to an airport hotel as he tries to force Manchester United's exit from the market with the agreement with Real Betis close"
so I think he will continue his adventure with them

I hope so. This will be good for both sides, for Anthony's career, and also have a significant impact on Real Betis' performance. Last season was clear evidence of Anthony's significant contribution, which drastically improved Real Betis' performance. However, the news isn't official yet, but individually, Anthony still really wants to play for Real Betis.

I've seen Real Betis's lackluster front line performance in the first three games of the season. I think Anthony's absence has had a significant impact. Betis' front line doesn't seem to have much attacking creativity to create many chances. So, before the transfer window closes, Betis management will need to bring in a new player if they fail to re-sign Anthony.

I don't think this two people are having issues, what is just happening is that people are trying to make it look as if they are having issues or not getting along well I don't think they having any issues and I believe they are getting along well, people should stop raising up propaganda's these two players are very much informed and they play so Well and with the way they are still playing they are working together and assisting each other, the reason why people are feeling or thinking this way is because they feel they will be completing for Ballon d'Or but since vinicius Junior was not given the last Ballon d'Or I don't think he's interested in that Ballon d'or anymore because it is clear that Ballon d'or officials will not give it to him anymore because of what transparent in the last Ballon d'or they give to rodri the Manchester United player.
The only way any of them can lift the Ballon d'Or is if they are working together if they don't work together they will not lift the Ballon d'Or and they will not even lift any trophy, so they really need to work together and I believe they know this.

Majority of the beef talk is media noise. The real data disproves it: in the first league game Mbappe takes the pen, finished with 5 shots and 6 shot-creating action; Vinicius does not sulk, plays 77 minutes as more of a facilitator. Second game is even louder: Vini is benched, enters the field at 63, provides an assist to Mbappe at 83 and then scores himself. Moreover, Mbappe literally covered the mouth of Vini after the goal celebration due to the fact that Vinicius was already on a yellow - protecting him from a red and the headlines

Ballon d’Or is overstated as well. The fact that Vini scored 22G + 19A in 58 games last season failed to get him the award, but that has more to do with Madrid not winning the trophy at the end of the year than some conspiracy. Mbappe was ranked 7th/8th with 43 goals. The doctor clarified: votes are based on trophies. In case they can combine in the same way they did vs Oviedo (press high, Vini slips Mbappe through, and then close it out late), Madrid are back into the contention, and that in turn boosts their Ballon d’Or portfolio

Real Betis is struggling because they have lost important players injuries or because their loan agreements ended. Without key player like Isco team performance has suffered.
Decision to get Anthony on another loan instead of buying him might be because of club budget. But since new loan includes option to buy it shows they see him as valuable player for future. It is clear he has done better at Betis than at Manchester United which proves that new team can make big difference for player.

make the team work more on the things that matter, you need strong bonds to be able to win many games as a cohesive group, and I still don't see this, and it's still very distant from Atletico, while other teams are much more connected to each other

[Velvet78]

Tomorrow Atletico Madrid are going to face Alaves away. They were able to collect only 2 points after 2 games so far.    The thing is, they couldn't beat Alaves in their last 3 away games too. Honestly I would rather bet on BTTS @2.04 than trusting Simeone's students now.

Now, we are also preparing to focus on UCL matches. Where they will also face top clubs from Europe. And Barcelona is quite an interesting match for the clubs they will face.

It is an incredible draw for Barcelona honestly. The easiest one they could have got really.    Only the PSG and Chelsea games are tough ones for them.

I think Real Madrid have more challenging games to play compared to them in general.

La Liga is always a tough competition between the top three teams and these top three teams are Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid. Out of these three teams, in some seasons Real Madrid is seen at the top of the points table, in some seasons Barcelona is seen at the bottom of the points table, and in some seasons Atletico Madrid is seen at the top of the points table. As you said, the most competitive match in La Liga is the El Clasico match where Real Madrid and Barcelona compete and these competitions are always very interesting, although last season we saw a one-sided victory of Barcelona against Real Madrid, this season we expect of course we will see a tough competition between the two teams in the El Clasico match.

Now if we talk about the Champions League there too, but these two clubs of La Liga have performed well, especially Real Madrid. 
Real Madrid has won the title a maximum of 15 times in the history of the Champions League, so Real Madrid must always be considered the favorite in the Champions League when discussing all other teams.
