La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Marvell1]

Simeone was finished 3 years ago. Zero ideas, zero results. I don't know what needs to happen for Atletico management to think about sacking him. I think the problem is him. Atletico have a good squad, they can afford to buy top players, Simeone is the most expensive coach in the world... where are the results? It is clear to the naked eye that Atletico is playing worse from season to season, even their signature defense is no longer good. By the way, in the next round Atletico plays Villarreal, again minus 2 or 3 points?  

Agree.. Atletico Madrid played great in the 2020-21 season. The team competed for the title with Real Madrid and Barcelona and became champions. And after that we saw the gradual decline of Atletico Madrid.

Especially in the last two seasons, we have seen the terrible decline of Atletico Madrid. But in both these seasons, the team's squad was very strong. In the 2023-24 season, Atletico Madrid's point gap from Real Madrid, who were at the top of the table, was 19. And in the last season, they were 12 points behind Barcelona. In the last season, I considered Atletico Madrid to be a worthy contender for the title. But the team's performance was irregular. And since the beginning of this season , we have seen the poor performance of Atletico Madrid. I do not expect any great performance from this team.

[rachael9385]

It should be like that but it will not be as easy as it seems, I think Real Madrid's performance at the moment is not completely strong and the problem of performance consistency also still has to be proven including many other jobs that Xabi Alonso has to complete, fortunately in the first few matches of the season they did not meet strong opponents so that Xabi Alonso had time in those matches to adapt and continue to improve the team's performance.

Some will judge Real Madrid's ability based on their match against Barcelona, ​​as Barcelona still has the power to defeat any opponent this season, so Real Madrid must prove themselves by beating Barcelona in any match. However, if Real Madrid are still far behind against Barcelona, ​​it could be argued that Real Madrid are still quite poor in terms of performance and also their ability to implement their new coach's tactics. The rest of the team will simply have to look at Real Madrid's consistency in achieving wins in future matches.

It's a very tight competition between the teams occupying the first, second and third position because they have the same points currently. I'm surprised that even Villarreal is leading this season but I don't think they can last long because Barcelona are currently at their best form. Real Madrid on the other hand are also not going to relent this season. Let's see if they can win their match today, they just need one point to occupy the first position

[Lidger]

Frankly, I don’t think these games would be much difficult for Real Madrid, at most their fixture against Villarreal. Atletico Madrid might be something use to be something but, right now, they aren’t that good. Real Madrid isn’t that good either but they can pick up a good challenge. Barcelona is the one team I can say are playing at their best and can easily come from behind to take the lead but at the moment, the race is on between both teams on who gets to drop points.

Real Madrid has not faced any strong opponents yet. And Madrid's upcoming opponents are not very strong squads either. So it will not be a very difficult task for Madrid to continue the winning streak. Madrid will play against Mallorca, Real Sociedad and Espanyol respectively in the next 3 matches. Real Sociedad is one of the renowned teams in La Liga, but the team has not been in good shape since the last season. The team has failed to win in two matches this season. Winning against Atletico Madrid and Villarreal will be a big challenge for Madrid.

Indeed, if we look at the strength or composition of each position or line of players In the upcoming match, many people think that Real Madrid will easily win. However, in football, anything can happen, so Madrid must remain alert, focused, disciplined, and teamwork is key for Real Madrid to maintain its performance and achieve maximum results in every match. Player rotation is an important strategy to maintain the team's fitness and performance, especially when facing a busy schedule.

Real Madrid is not that informed this season so they have to take every match very serious if they really want to have a chance of lifting the la Liga title this season and they need to work together as a team one of the problem I noticed that is happening in real Madrid is that they are not working together as a team, they have enough good players that they need to use in order to win any competition if this players can work in unity I believe they will conquer any club they come across with.
Mallorca is a small club and I believe Real Madrid can win them however they need to take the match very serious if they really want to win them because I'm sure that Mallorca we try the best to resist Real Madrid so Real Madrid needs to take the match very serious.

Real Madrid should definitely perform well under the new manager, especially since they ended the season with a bad experience in La Liga last season. This time, at least I expect them to finish this season with very good results in La Liga. This season, Real Madrid's plan will not only be to win the La Liga title, but they will also have enough pressure to do well in the Champions League. The team's injured players are slowly starting to return to the team, as well as the team's strike and midfield positions are getting stronger than before, so it is expected that Real Madrid will really perform well this season. Yes, it is true that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will be big obstacles for Real Madrid in La Liga. That is why Real Madrid must leave the field with a win in every match.

Real Madrid must give more importance to the matches against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Only then will they be successful this season.

• Madrid vs Mallorca

The bettors are surely confident that Madrid will easily defeat Mallorca, which is not a strong team in La Liga. Previously, Mallorca had also been defeated by Barcelona. However, I don't expect Madrid to score a big margin in this match. So far, Madrid has only been able to score 3 goals against Real Oviedo. Therefore, it's likely to end 2-0.

Madrid's bettor here. I took Asian handi since Madrid's odds is being valued 1.20, which means too low. They will play with full squad. They also have Mbappe and Vini who started to have chemistry each other. Tchouameni who is also still on fire. I predict they can win easily by scoring at least three goals. However, i don't rule them to conceded one goal at very least.
I hope my bet pays me very soon.

After 55 minutes of play the score is 1-1 and despite the fact that Atletico seems to be dominating and attacking, the statistics for shots on target are only 1-2. Live odds give Atletico a 50% win, funny, Atletico risks being left with 2 points after 3 rounds   Initially I had no doubt that a place in the top 4 was reserved for Atletico, but if they don’t win today then it will start to seem doubtful.

Atletico Madrid is once again putting on a boring show. Without a single win in three games, the top four seems too far away for Atletico Madrid if there are no changes. I tend to blame the club's management for keeping Diego Simeone, while other teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona have already replaced their coaches, and Atletico Madrid is stuck with an outdated coach. So, it's no surprise that their performance remains monotonous from season to season.

[stompix]

Right now La Liga table is just funny the first four teams have only two matches, while the next 4 have 3 but still behind them with fewer points or fewer goals, if this keeps on as both Barcelona and Madrid have easy games ahead of them, it will become a lot sooner than entertainment requires a two horse race for the win.
Well, it was expected anyhow that this would be the way but I would rather not see them at 5-6 points advantage over the others with just 5 rounds played!

It is clear to the naked eye that Atletico is playing worse from season to season, even their signature defense is no longer good.

I don't think there are really a decline, I mean they didn't have a great season in 2-24-25 but it was way better than the previous one when they finished after Girona,  quite on par with the 22-23 one, not a decline but stagnation at levels below what fans want.

[Tmoonz]

Once again Atletico Madrid are a failure... They couldn't beat Alaves again.    I trusted their BTTS more for a reason and it really won. 2.04 was really attracting. I was only nervous about it might end up with a goalless draw.

3 games left behind and only 2 points for Atletico Madrid. How much longer will they go on like that? Simeone just can't build a good system for the team anymore as it seems. They couldn't even score more than 1 goal in any of these easy fixtures.

By the way, in the next round Atletico plays Villarreal, again minus 2 or 3 points?  

I just believe Diego Simeone era has come to an end in that league, he needs to take a break like few seasons out of coaching job to at least reset his brain in the job, yes I don't know Atletico Madrid as a team that scores much goals but at least not as less as scoring just a goal in the last two games, if not for the less competition in that Spanish LA Liga I'd say they can't make it to the top four, but aside Real Madrid and Barcelona I don't really think anyone can stand in their way,  like this results are still very much discouraging, it's high time Simeone leave the team for good before he ruins his legacy in that team.

From the outset, this situation was entirely possible, so I am not particularly surprised by the results they have achieved.

In reality, Atletico are not a bad team; their players possess above-average skills for a club, and their determination is also very good. However, beyond that, there is nothing else to be proud of.
Simeone's strategy remains the same every season, which means he cannot offer anything truly to be proud of at the moment because it is very easy to read. When they face clubs that are below their level, they focus on attacking and forget about defense, but when facing clubs that are equal or in much better condition than them, Atletico parks the bus. In the first few matches, this happened when they faced clubs that could actually be easily defeated, but what happened was quite bad because their focus was only on attacking without paying attention to their defense, which has many gaps.

Without been told the laliga is just a two man race because the only team that was supposed to challenge Barcelona and Madrid been ATM is not consistent with their performance as they dropped points this weekend again obviously this season the battle is left for only Barcelona and Madrid to battle out

[Webetcoins]

Real Madrid have no issues winning the games looking at their next 3 opponents so far they have won all their games and their players are in good shape until they play against strong opponents like they are they can't be seen as a good team this season, against Mallorca should be another 3 points in the bag for them and Xabi Alonso should maintain the standard of his team by not allowing them to concede goals when they score also the co operation between Mbappe and Junior shouldn't stop because they appear to be like Harry Kane and Luis Diaz in Bayern Munich a good combination that will help the team this season.

Teams do end up losing or getting a draw against weaker teams, that's how the season is lost. When you look at the overall season and the whole games, you will see that these big teams, even the eventual champions, end up with losses to teams least expected. Real Madrid and Barcelona both had that last year, they weren't good at all, they both had low points, and Barcelona got lucky.

So you have to see that even though the next games look decent and easy enough, it's still not that easy and could be bad. They should be considering how they could keep winning, because even weaker teams are important games. Nobody wins all their games, Real Madrid can't just have 2 losses against Barcelona and wins all other games.

This season i don't think Athletico Madrid will perform well in the league competition this season. Drawing two matches in the league already. I think they really need new coach Diego Simeon as try is best with the team already and he can't help the team anymore, Athletico Madrid can't be a threat to Barcelona and Real Madrid in the league this season, with the performance they are displaying with other club in the pitch. Real Madrid are facing Mallorca and the game will be in favour of Real Madrid because they are playing at home and Real Madrid as be winning Mallorca mostly when playing at home, I think xabi Alonso will achieve another three point tonight. Let see how the game will goes because Madrid have not be impressive in the two matches they play in the league. Xabi Alonso is trying is achieve the laliga tittle this season with real madrid and am sure he will do all is possible best to win it.

Real Madrid vs Mallorca

Real Madrid confirmed lineup (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois (GK), Trent Alexander-Arnold, Eder Militao, Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Franco Mastantuono, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior.

Mallorca confirmed lineup (5-3-2): Leo Roman (GK), Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Marash Kumbulla, Mateu Morey, Toni Lato, Manu Morlanes, Sergi Darder, Pablo Torre, Mateo Joseph, Vedat Muriqi.

Real Madrid go again tonight to host Mallorca for their third match of the season, from all indication Real Madrid seem to have chosen a good track because the way I saw them playing now is quite different from last season. Mbappe has now pick up with what his require from him which is scoring goals and currently he just had three goals in two matches, I hope tonight he will increase the number.

Maybe if you just look at the table, you can say that since Atletico is in third place, everything is not so bad. But I remember Atletico well from the time when they played with Real in the Champions League finals, naturally I do not compare their average indicators with the worst seasons, but compare them with the best. When was the last time they posed a threat to anyone? It seems that even this aura of an inconvenient team has completely disappeared. I even remember the last season as a complete failure for them because they were going smoothly for quite a long time, you could say they were contenders for the treble along with Real and Barcelona, ​​but then in personal meetings they lost everything that could be lost and in a rather shameful way.
And now they start with 2 points for 3 rounds. This is definitely a decline.

[BIT-BENDER]

Is the end to being the head coach of Athletico Madrid over for Diego Someone? The club has kept him for too long I think he is now being to complacent in his job. He is a very good coach and he has title for Atletico Madrid to back him up but last season was bad for the club and this season Atletico Madrid has picked up one loss and two draws.
It may be you early but seeing how Atletico Madrid has been playing I think they should start applying pressure on Diego Simeone to do better.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Rodrygo on the bench for Real Madrid again tonight, he must love the lifestyle out there because sporting ambition wise, he can’t have any.

He’s permanently on the bench. Such a talented player but isn’t interested to move to a club where he tests himself and plays every week.

I don't even understand what's happening with this Atletico Madrid team anymore, I was thinking that this new season will be different from last season but it now looks like their last season starts is better than this season's start. Three matches played so far and they have not won one, one loss and two draws, all is not not well with the team as of now..

Real Madrid 0 Vs Mallorca 0
Just a moment ago, Mbappe scored from a long range pass put up to him by Trent Arnold, which he calmly controlled before unleashing a shot just at the line of the box to net. But it was chopped off for offside as Mbappe strayed just a bit in an offside position before the pass from Arnold. Real Madrid is showing early signs of scoring and they might just get that soon.

[ITExpert]

I’m impressed with Xabi Alonso,s input so far. I can see a better playing style and a gradual build of good team work within the players, I also noticed he is getting a better understanding of how best to utilize his star studded team to the best of their ability. If they fully get an understanding of Xabi’s philosophy and team work they will be an excellent team to watch.

The thinking towards the Xabi Alonso is seeing like he is falling between the good comments and ordinary comments. As many fans are thinking like he is doing a good job . And what he is doing seems in the output of the team. But according to many he is not doing something which is really appreciable. But i think that Xabi Alonso is a coach who knows how to get players in  form and a  good combination team. a good coach has the ability to manage the team and get out their inner talent in the team's favour. Because the impact of a coach on any team is clearly visible both the good and the bad. And Xabi Alonso will really manage Real Madrid to perform as the best team. it is important for the team and essential for the coach as well.

A few minutes ago, Mallorca scored against Real Madrid.. it's just a shame their defense was so poor. The score is currently 1-0, with Mallorca in the lead. Hopefully, Real Madrid can turn things around, as it would be ridiculous to lose to a team of Mallorca's stature.

[Salahmu]

The bettors are surely confident that Madrid will easily defeat Mallorca, which is not a strong team in La Liga. Previously, Mallorca had also been defeated by Barcelona. However, I don't expect Madrid to score a big margin in this match. So far, Madrid has only been able to score 3 goals against Real Oviedo. Therefore, it's likely to end 2-0.

With the way Real madrid is playing right now with Mallorca is difficult to be under 3, there was more attempts that could have been 2 now on this first half, Real madrid could be scoring more than 2 goals because is only 23 minutes now and beside Mallorca has an oversized defense because the goal they conceived was out of there inexperience because they should have seen the running of Mbappe to no what they were targeting but the goal was cancelled. Edith, fortunately for Mallorca they have now  scored, so actually real Madrid is on the fighting side of equalizing.
