La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

Barcelona attacking was quite poor and I think it is all happened due to bad condition of the ground. Despite there is also mistakes of Barca player but the 70% was due to the pitch condition. However Barcelona have failed to claim the three points, and because of this they are now in 4th place.

Yeah, obviously the defense was too bad. I monitor it well so that whenever Barcelona defense tries to offside trap, they misunderstand each other all the time. I think its happened to player rotation like if Cubarsi and Arojo were there then probably they wouldn't make any mistakes.

Anyway, it's a big lesson for the Hansi Flick side. In next match they will try avoid these kinds of mistakes.

I get to know about the condition of the pitch after the game but still , I will give it 60-40 and the 60 will go to the performance while 40 goes to the pitch . It’s not that the performance was not a good one but it’s just about the silly mistakes and the chances that was wasted , they still played well as a good team.
Thus, I will continue to mention their wasteful habit, that was one of the reason they missed out in UCL .. mentioned it lst season too, they really need to work on it.. imo they’re used to wasting a lot of chances especially in crucial moments and if they don’t work on it, it might as well affect them again this season.

Yes exactly Nico Williams is fantastic player who can change game in instant. You also correctly observed that there is good team like Real Betis can be defeated with single mistake under pressure which is showing that mental toughness is just as important as skill. For Athletic Club to succeed in long run their real strength their strong collective pressing must be maintained consistently as that not just one player talent is key to successful season.

Yes, Nico Williams is indeed a young player who has excellent skills and instincts. So it's no surprise that he has been able to help his team, Bilbao, consistently achieve quite good results in the three matches they have played so far in La Liga. In the match against Betis, even though Nico didn't score, his contribution in this match was truly extraordinary. So with that, I think Bilbao is truly fortunate to have a great player like Nico. Perhaps if Nico had actually joined Barcelona in the transfer market, I don't think Bilbao's performance would be as great as it is now. Because basically Nico is a very important key player that Bilbao has. So with that, it's fortunate that Nico didn't move to Barcelona this season.

Then speaking of Betis, I think they are currently not performing as well as they did in the previous season. I think this is because Antony is now out of loan and no longer plays for Betis. Because basically, when Antony was still playing at Betis, the team's performance was truly extraordinary. Because, essentially, with Antony's presence, their front line felt more vibrant and sharper. So, since Antony left Betis, their front line's performance has declined again. So, I think Betis needs to find a new, sharper striker now to improve their front line. And I also agree that their mentality also needs to be improved. Because this plays a very important role.

Huesca VS Eibar was a very good match. It was a very competitive game between the two teams. Huesca won but my Eibar played very well. Maybe it was because Eibar was not in form. Eibar played very well from start to finish. Eibar attacked very well but because Huesca's defense was very strong, Eibar's attack could not be successful. But if we were to highlight who played better between these two teams, then I would say that Eibar played very well.

The opponent is playing on the same pitch. I don't find the criticism of the pitches entirely justified. A team with players of Barcelona's caliber should be able to play comfortably on any pitch, as their players are top-notch. I'm sure the manager and staff are training them accordingly to play on such pitches. Ultimately, Barcelona dropped points. Of course, they'll be criticized for this.

Last season's champions (Barcelona) were held to a draw by Rayo. This was certainly far from my prediction. I assumed Barcelona would win against Rayo, as their squads were clearly the best, boasting many star players. In today's bet, I bet on a Barcelona win because I saw Barcelona as the strongest. Unfortunately, my guess was wrong, and the match between Rayo and Barcelona ended in a draw.

As the home team, Rayo certainly played well, attacking Barcelona well. If I'm not mistaken, they scored numerous goals. Unfortunately, the referee only awarded one goal in this match. If all of Rayo's goals had been awarded, Rayo would have had the potential to win against Barcelona. If Yamal hadn't scored on penalties, it seemed certain Barcelona would have lost to Rayo. Fortunately, Yamal scored on a penalty kick.

Now, Hansi Flick must really improve Barcelona's game so that the Barcelona players can capitalize on the opportunities that arise.

In my own opinion, I think Rayo deserved to win that Spanish La Liga game against Barcelona over the weekend. Apart from seeing few goals that crossed the goal line being cancelled, Barcelona which happens to be the away team got a controversial penalty which was converted by Lamine Yamal. Personally, I don't think Yamal deserves that penalty but what was more impressive for me in the game was that the home team didn't allow the decision stop them from getting at least a point from the game. Hansi Flick like you rightly said needs to improve his team but if you ask me, I don't think Barcelona will be able to replicate their impressive records of last season.

I expected Barcelona to win against Rayo Vallecano. I never expected a strong team like Barcelona to perform so badly as a football fan. They could have definitely lost this match if Lamine Yamal had not scored the penalty. The credibility of the referee's decision to award the penalty is also questioned. If Barcelona continues to perform so badly, it could lead to unexpected results for them in the next matches. I think Barcelona may not have expected the home team to play so well, which is why experienced analysts always say that no team should be underestimated. If VAR technology had worked properly in this match, the penalty decision inside the box would have been overturned.

Barcelona's penalty goal against Rayo Vallecano is still a subject of debate. How is it possible that when the players reviewed the penalty, the referee told them that their Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was not working properly, but the Video Assistant Referee was activated again shortly after the penalty was scored?
First, if there was indeed a technical problem, there is still no end to criticism about this issue because La Liga is undoubtedly a big league and if the normal video assistant does not work properly in important matches of this La Liga, it does not look good.
Second, what did the staff in charge of the Video Assistant Referee do after the penalty was scored that the Video Assistant Referee was activated immediately.

Anyway, Barcelona scored a controversial penalty that is why they did not lose against Rayo Vallecano. If this goal had not happened, they would have lost this match.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Hmmm, honestly that was a really awful display by the Catalan side because Ray Valacano is not that strong to stop Barcelona from the victory, but unfortunately they did... Barcelona attacking was quite poor and I think it is all happened due to bad condition of the ground. Despite there is also mistakes of Barca player but the 70% was due to the pitch condition. However Barcelona have failed to claim the three points, and because of this they are now in 4th place.

Yeah, obviously the defense was too bad. I monitor it well so that whenever Barcelona defense tries to offside trap, they misunderstand each other all the time. I think its happened to player rotation like if Cubarsi and Arojo were there then probably they wouldn't make any mistakes.

Anyway, it's a big lesson for the Hansi Flick side. In next match they will try avoid these kinds of mistakes.

Compared to their first two matches, this third match was indeed Barcelona's worst performance.

Their defense was more vulnerable, and their focus seemed to be elsewhere. Their attack build-up was poor because several midfielders, such as Pedri and De Jong, were almost completely overwhelmed by Rayo's pressing in this match, which made their performance look quite bleak.
Some substitutions also failed to make an impact, such as when Rashford came on, he seemed lost and confused, like a child separated from its mother.

However, the single point earned is still enough to keep them afloat, though this should serve as a wake-up call for them. After all, we know that if such performances are allowed to continue, it could lead to a wave of inconsistent results in the future.

You are right that Barcelona would have lost if they had not get this controversial penalty. Lamine Yamal was illegally obstructed by Vallecano players but it was not that serious. In the match between Real Madrid and Mallorca Real Madrid deserved at least four to five more goals but due to the perfect technology of VAR several goals decision was not in their favor. Almost every tournament sees some biased matches which are a disgrace to the game of football as a whole and disappoint the fans.

There is actually no technical problem here I think it is a deliberate mistake because there were enough video cameras around the field and the referee should have watched those videos and made a decision. The result of the match can change like this for various reasons and we call all these mistakes luck when a team loses and wins.

[silpersurfer]

Huesca VS Eibar was a very good match. It was a very competitive game between the two teams. Huesca won but my Eibar played very well. Maybe it was because Eibar was not in form. Eibar played very well from start to finish. Eibar attacked very well but because Huesca's defense was very strong, Eibar's attack could not be successful. But if we were to highlight who played better between these two teams, then I would say that Eibar played very well.

Why can I see the Huesca VS Eibar post here, maybe you sent the wrong comment and if I'm not mistaken, there is a special topic that discusses the Spanish league division or the second division.

Rayo played very well in that match, building numerous attacks to break down Barcelona's defense. Had Rayo's finishing been better, they might have scored more goals to silence Barcelona. Meanwhile, for Barcelona, ​​this was certainly one of their worst performances of the start of the season, failing to take all three points, temporarily dropping them from the top of the table. Now that we're entering the international break, this could be an opportunity for Hansi Flick to re-form his squad before returning to domestic action and starting a new chapter in the Champions League.

[Abbatty]

Real Betis was able to get Anthony in the last minute of the transfer window, I would say that a very good one for them. When he was with them last season he was their best player and the whole team tends to play well, but since he left Betis have stated the season very slow and have just picked 5 points in 4 matches which is very poor considering how they finished the last season.

After the loan spell last season it was clear that Anthony only wants Betis move but the deal was delayed because what Manchester United was requesting for was too much. In the last minute both teams managed to come to an understanding and the deal happened. He is a Betis player now and I hope he can replicate what he did for them last season.

Anyway, Barcelona scored a controversial penalty that is why they did not lose against Rayo Vallecano. If this goal had not happened, they would have lost this match.

There was no feasible contact on Lamine Yamal by Pep Chavarría and the penalty wouldn't have stood if the VAR was working. But the game showed the weakness of Barcelona's defence. Rayo Vallecano counter counterattacks were always effective because the visitors' defenders found it difficult to curtail the pace of Rayo Vallecano players. The host would have scored more goals if it had a clinical striker. Although the Barca goalkeeper Joan García, who won the Most Valuable Player, played a big role in why the goal didn't come as much as the chances created. 

Fran Perez's 67th-minute goal was enough to give them a point against the defending champions. Yamal should also be blamed for that goal because he was close to an unmarked Fran and did nothing. Maybe he was upfront because of an imminent counterattack, who knows? This season is becoming interesting.

Perfect analyses. Match officials and Var are also too incompetent, so I don't go moaning when they blow or call what they should have done. I want to give Joan Garcia his props, he was responsible for the draw otherwise,  that game should have seen Rayo Vallecano stealing all three points. Laughable player on that pitch was Marcus Rashford,  he has to work hard otherwise, he'll never be signed up completely.

[Catenaccio]

There was no feasible contact on Lamine Yamal by Pep Chavarría and the penalty wouldn't have stood if the VAR was working. But the game showed the weakness of Barcelona's defence.         

Lamine Yamal was very proactively in touching Rayo Vallecano's defensive player at the moment and the referee including VAR team were fouled by Yamal. Without Var engagement, this decision can be explained but with VAR support, I feel very strange with this mistaken decision by the referee and his team. Barcelona got a big gift and Yamal scored but in this match, generally Vallecano played well especially in counter attacks while Barcelona played with too high defensive line and they allowed Vallecano having many good opportunities. Only bad shots from Vallecano players and luckiness helped Barcelona finishing this match with one point.

Laughable player on that pitch was Marcus Rashford,  he has to work hard otherwise, he'll never be signed up completely.

This match is actually a very controversial one and even getting one point, Barcelona already fell behind Real Madrid in La Liga ranking table. This disappointed draw even with a good start, is a big alarm for Barcelona, that they must play more carefully in coming matches as well as in this season. Real Madrid in this season are different than the last one and they will be better able to take advantage of Barcelona mistakes as well as dropped points.

[Gallar]

Therefore, I believe Hansi Flick really needs to improve his team's performance. I saw that Barcelona had significant defensive gaps in this match, as evidenced by Barcelona numerous shots on goal. This reflects Barcelona's current weak defense. Furthermore, their forward line also needs improvement. They missed many opportunities in this match. Therefore, I believe Hansi Flick has a lot of work to do at Barcelona.

And next week, Barcelona will face Valencia. I think Barcelona should be careful and not underestimate this team either.

Usually we do know that Barcelona has a slight issue with their defence, but they have a solid front line that helps cover for that which we can see at the defense line by not allowing the concentration of ball not to be mostly around their 18 yard box to further prevent other goals that they may reduce their chances of loosing but moving forward I believe to see more from Barcelona,  and a very productive moves.

Yes, if we think more positively, perhaps what you said is true. Because basically, this is just the beginning of the season and anything can happen now. Moreover, Barcelona is a team that certainly will not allow its team to weaken. So with that, I also believe that if Barcelona is able to learn from their mistakes, they will certainly perform well again in the upcoming matches. Because if we look at Barcelona's history in La Liga, Barcelona has always been able to recover from adversity very quickly. Because in the previous season, Barcelona also experienced a defeat against Osasuna. But they did not give up and ultimately managed to win La Liga. So, for now, we should not be pessimistic about Barcelona. Because basically, they are a team with a very great coach and players. So the one draw they experienced yesterday, perhaps the medicine that will make them perform well throughout the season.

[Just Say]

In the new season of La Liga, Athletic Football Club is currently showing strength similar to Real Madrid Football Club Because three wins in three matches from Nico Williams' team is truly a commendable performance in this La Liga. Nico Williams is a young footballer but many clubs wanted to sign him because of his immense talent however this Spanish promising player was unable to come into the spotlight yesterday against Real Betis Football Club.

It is true that this match was very tense towards the end because at that time Bakambu of Real Betis Football Club scored a goal and everyone witnessed that Padilla, the goalkeeper of Atletico Football Club at that time saw a straight red card. Nico Williams scored his first goal of the new season against Sevilla, so I think this Spanish player needs to be more aggressive.

Laughable player on that pitch was Marcus Rashford,  he has to work hard otherwise, he'll never be signed up completely.

Marcus Rashford's performance remains very disappointing, and I don't think he'll improve. Since the beginning of the preseason, Marcus Rashford's performance has been the same, and he hasn't been able to make a difference in contributing to the team.

This draw seems fair considering the performances of both teams. I don't think Barcelona played at their best, despite the disappointing incidents and drama. However, I don't see that as a separate perspective. Barcelona's overall performance, along with Rayo Vallecano's performance at home, is also worthy of praise. They played with confidence and were impressive, and I think a draw was enough for them against a top team like Barcelona.

[Swordsoffreedom]

This match is actually a very controversial one and even getting one point, Barcelona already fell behind Real Madrid in La Liga ranking table. This disappointed draw even with a good start, is a big alarm for Barcelona, that they must play more carefully in coming matches as well as in this season. Real Madrid in this season are different than the last one and they will be better able to take advantage of Barcelona mistakes as well as dropped points.

Barcelona could not win this match. But there is no denying that Rayo vallecano played great. I was just surprised by their  performance. Despite Barcelona being a strong team, Vallecano players were able to play very well. And due to such a great performance of Vallecano, Barcelona was under a lot of pressure. And in the end , Barcelona had to be happy with 1 point. If lewandowski had been in the starting XI, maybe Barcelona would not have missed easy chances and would have been able to score a few more goals. There are several weaknesses in Barcelona's overall performance that are visible. They need to play better if they want to dominate La Liga.

[Kaliandra]

Real Betis was able to get Anthony in the last minute of the transfer window, I would say that a very good one for them. When he was with them last season he was their best player and the whole team tends to play well, but since he left Betis have stated the season very slow and have just picked 5 points in 4 matches which is very poor considering how they finished the last season.

After the loan spell last season it was clear that Anthony only wants Betis move but the deal was delayed because what Manchester United was requesting for was too much. In the last minute both teams managed to come to an understanding and the deal happened. He is a Betis player now and I hope he can replicate what he did for them last season.

I also think Antony's arrival will certainly improve Betis' performance. As a winger, he has the potential to make Betis' attack even more powerful and potent. However, many people are certainly happy that Antony is back at Betis, and many are hoping he will perform well at Betis. Antony's departure has indeed reduced Betis' performance, and we'll see what happens. But I certainly hope Betis can perform better this season, ultimately securing qualification for the Europa League.

Now, of course, we'll just have to wait and see if he plays well or not. And of course, I think Levante will lose in that match. What do you think? Yes, I hope my bet is successful in that match Betis vs Levante.

[Arenga pinnata]

I get to know about the condition of the pitch after the game but still , I will give it 60-40 and the 60 will go to the performance while 40 goes to the pitch . It’s not that the performance was not a good one but it’s just about the silly mistakes and the chances that was wasted , they still played well as a good team.
Thus, I will continue to mention their wasteful habit, that was one of the reason they missed out in UCL .. mentioned it lst season too, they really need to work on it.. imo they’re used to wasting a lot of chances especially in crucial moments and if they don’t work on it, it might as well affect them again this season.

But last season, I thought Barcelona was still quite effective in capitalizing on every opportunity they created. As a result, their goal production increased significantly. However, in the new season, I've seen Barcelona waste more chances. And their movement tends to be less effective. It seems like the chemistry they built last season is starting to wane. But I think Hansi Flick will quickly improve this, and Barcelona will return to playing well in the next match.

But if Hansi Flick fails to fix it quickly, that would be very bad. It could potentially cost Barcelona their place in La Liga this season. I think many of us here hope Barcelona can play well and even achieve a decent result in the Champions League.

[Abbatty]

I think Levante will lose in that match. What do you think? Yes, I hope my bet is successful in that match Betis vs Levante.

Well considering how Levante have been playing since the beginning of season I think Real Betis have a huge chance to win that match, especially with the coming back of Anthony now. Betis will be more precise in that attack now. Levante have lost all three matches in the league this season but 2 of that is Away and the only home match was against Barcelona which I think they had no chance in that match.

Well I don’t think it will be an easy win for Betis even if they end up winning the match, levante are very desperate to get their first point of the season so I expect them to approach this match with utmost seriousness. Since they will be at home they have a slight chance of winning the match.
