La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[silpersurfer]

The GOAT returns to Real Betis for the second time, and he has been warmly welcomed by the Real Betis fans. Antony, the Brazilian winger who spent the last half season on loan from Manchester United, has shown extraordinary performance, leading the team to even better performances and truly capturing the hearts of Real Betis fans. At the end of last season, a touching moment occurred, when Antony said goodbye to the Real Betis fans. At that time, fans clearly wanted the Goat to stay in La Liga, but because Manchester United had set a high price, everyone was skeptical that he would be signed permanently by Real Betis. However, unexpectedly, a few hours before the transfer window closed, an agreement between Real Betis and Manchester United was reached, officially making Antony a Real Betis player with a transfer value of €22 million.

Barcelona's draw against their opponent Rayo Vallecano is really unacceptable. We know that Barcelona is the strongest team in La Liga but their performance really disappointed the audience. No one expected such a performance from them at the beginning of the season. Despite having enough star players, Real Madrid could not win this match but ended the match in a draw due to which they fell behind in the points table. To compete with Real Madrid this season, they must be in a high position in the points table from the beginning, otherwise Real Madrid will try to beat Barcelona this season. If Barcelona's performance continues in the next match, then they will definitely fall behind in the La Liga points table and will lose the chance to become champions this season. So if Barcelona has to compete and become champions, then they must play strongly in the next matches and win and collect enough points.

Unfortunately, bad games happen to Barcelona too. Obviously, you can't expect this truly terrible performance from a team like this. Barcelona fans and football fans are rightly disappointed by the way they played.
Let's hope it's just a bad opportunity

In as much we are blaming Barcelona for their poor performance of mistakes rather let's not forget they're also humans and they're not above mistakes, yes Barcelona is a complete team no doubt but that doesn't guarantee them to go unbeaten for the season in a league such as the Spanish LA Liga hell no they will draw and they will lose most importantly they will win, but the fact is they should learn from their mistakes if they are to win the league title, because Real Madrid is never gonna make it easy for them, so they should focus more on their squad and forget about what had happened last week.

First of all, I will like to congratulate Real Betis for having the man that serve as a catalyst to their team’s performance last season. Anthony has a very good impact in Betis team last season, he lead the team to the UEFA Conference League finals and lost to Chelsea in the final, and also help Betis to secure UEFA Europa League spot by finishing sixth with 60 points overall; and the fans shows him some great support because he feels good playing for Betis.

Now it’s time to continue from where he stopped, all what he missed in Manchester United should be achieved here because he will definitely have more playing time here, and Laliga is a bit soft compared to the Premier League which means he might be having less injury problems in the Laliga.

It cannot be denied that Antony's presence previously led to a significant improvement for Betis, and this is undeniable, so it makes sense that there is a lot of enthusiasm for them to bring Antony back on a permanent basis this season.

On the other hand, he also feels quite comfortable at Betis, and his performance has even improved while there, proving that despite Betis being at a lower level than Manchester United, Antony's chemistry with the team is better, and his performance is gradually returning to its previous level.
Now the situation is different as he is a permanent player for Betis, with high hopes that last season's performance can be replicated this season, especially in Betis' first four matches which did not go well with 1 win, 2 draws and 1loss.

Wow, that's really nice and congratulations to him on this. After his wonderful time at Ajax before Manchester United and Ten Hang bought him and killed his career, last season we saw how he played very well for Real Betis and not just that, his enjoying his stay at the club unlike what he passed through in Manchester United. For the fans to really want him in there team, that simply means that his performed to their expectations.

This is a very nice move for Antony, and am sure he will contribute very well as how he did when he go for loan last season. Real Betis are not that strong this season but now that Antony as move to Real Betis that will make the club stronger then before. But I just know that he will always difficult for the club to complete with real madrid and Barcelona this season in the league competition, because they are stronger then them this season. Manchester United have be selling there key players thinking they are the problem of the club. Now that they buy Antony with full transfer that is a good transfer window for them because he as be helping the club last season and even challenged both Madrid and Barcelona this season. Let see how he will perform this time around in the league.

Good move for antony a permanent move to real betis for £22 million is a welcome development for both the team and Anyony himself so he can get involved in regular football once again because staying at Manchester united could be the end of his career as there would be no provision for him in Amorim's squad this season. His performance in real betis last season was an excellent one, wining the heart of both fans and the coach with an extraordinary involvement that lead the team to 6th position in the league table last season lets see what having him permanently this season could be for Real betis.

You're right staying in united were he was not seeing a regular playing time and staying on the bench was not good for his career this permanent move is the best decision that he has made now because it can give him the right platform to give his career a life option back.

You are right with the way Manchester United's performance is presented right now, seriously, so for him to move to Real Betis, it's a smart move and will be better for him. Even if Amorim wants to do everything to make sure things go well for Manchester United, I believe he won't be able to achieve any major trophy this season because this club has been in a bad situation for a long time, and he really needs to get things done before any other thing.

Do you see that there is no way? So since Antony always has this good performance, I think moving to a club where he will be valued more than at United is a very good one for him. I know Real Betis are still doing better than United currently.

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.

No, they just create more big chances, and that gives them the upper hand to win games, the  art of being wasteful didn’t just start this season. In fact, it was one of the reasons Inter knocked them out in the UCL last season… they had enough chances to secure the lead and finish it without extra time, but they failed to take even two clear chances. Same with Atlético in the Copa del Rey semi-finals i think, they wasted so many chances but luckily won the game. If they don’t fix this and come up against teams that can use their chances well, like Atlético Madrid, and still has strong forwards then they could be in a lot of trouble, just saying…

The tight competition among several teams in the standings is something we will commonly encounter at the beginning of the season. We will see some teams starting to become consistent and inconsistent by mid-season. Sometimes, we even see at the end of the season, teams that were initially consistent with good results eventually experience a decline in performance.
Madrid is indeed preparing for this season. They do not want to lose to Barcelona again. As for Barcelona, they need to improve their performance, not just in the defense line, but coordination in the attacking line, and finishing is also important. Last season, they performed better.

Last season Barcelona was the winner in La Liga, of course they were the best, and only had a difference of 4 points from Real Madird, of course in tight competition to the end, this rival has always been a big threat in La Liga, consistency is very important to get victory, because after all one step is wrong it will be difficult to pursue, competition is always strong in La Liga, there is no time to relax.

I am not focusing on Barcelona being the best and winning the La Liga title last season with an advantage over Madrid. However, I am looking at their performance at the start of this season, which I think is not as good as it was last season.
The competition with Madrid will continue, and this season the rivalry may be even more interesting. I'm not so sure Madrid will truly dominate throughout the season, but Xabi might try to make that happen.

Both last season and this season, I still believe Real Madrid will be La Liga champions, even though last season was quite disappointing because Real Madrid lost its balance due to player injuries, and we know that the coach cannot perfectly fill the vacant positions even with substitutes.

The rivalry will be even more intense this season, as Real Madrid will improve under good management. Xabi Alonso could win his first trophy with Real Madrid this season as coach, and I know Hansi will face a lot of pressure this season.

• Rayo vs Barcelona 1-1

I have some disappointments with the Barcelona players in this match. Barcelona should have won, but Yamal gave Dani Olmo several chances, but he couldn't finish them. Two good chances came his way, but Olmo seemed too hasty, shooting wide.

Further disappointment, I criticize the defense for being too ambitious, wanting to help the attack score while neglecting their own defense. Barcelona defenders often gave Rayo players chances, which almost resulted in goals. Hansi Flick must correct this performance.

To be candid on this, Rayo Vallecano should have been the team to win this very match and not Barcelona, Barcelona didn't create enough chances for themselves for you to be suggesting that they would have won won the game. Rayo Vallecano players were wastful and missed lots of chances to have been in front and eventually win the match. Barcelona keeper saved them, if not they would have picked the ball 5 times at least from their own net. 7 shots on target for the home side and 3 shots on target for Barcelona.

We can't take that for granted, unless we discuss the scenario itself with those possibilities. In reality, Barcelona secured the victory, but I can clearly see that Rayo has made progress. They have the quality to compete well against Barcelona in that match, which is honestly very difficult, but I think they managed to develop successfully.

In as much we are blaming Barcelona for their poor performance of mistakes rather let's not forget they're also humans and they're not above mistakes, yes Barcelona is a complete team no doubt but that doesn't guarantee them to go unbeaten for the season in a league such as the Spanish LA Liga hell no they will draw and they will lose most importantly they will win, but the fact is they should learn from their mistakes if they are to win the league title, because Real Madrid is never gonna make it easy for them, so they should focus more on their squad and forget about what had happened last week.

I sometimes wonder why people don't see how good Barcelona is, but only see its shortcomings.
Compared to Real Madrid, they are certainly financially superior, and Real Madrid has better players than Barcelona.
But people never realize that despite their poor finances and with only the players they have, Barca was able to compete very strongly and won the Spanish La Liga title last season.
Yesterday's poor performance wasn't a big deal, and I'm sure Barcelona can improve in their next match.

Can we really call that wasteful? the only problem that Barcelona has is their defense, their attacks are very effective. Inter Milan knocking out Barcelona in the Champions semifinals last season was just mere luck, if not both teams pull out a tough match and Barcelona had better chances of advancing to the finals but got weakened by the carelessness of their defenders. Barcelona is not wasteful in terms of goal scoring opportunity, is just that they create too many loopholes for their opponents to maneuver them most times, but their strikers are very active and makes good use of their chances. Atletico Madrid does not even have the stability to withstand Barcelona because looking at their performance as the season started, it doesn't look like they can really pull up a tensed match against Barcelona.

Why does every one always think that it is only Real Madrid that can stop Barcelona from winning the Laliga Spanish title they are other other clubs that can hold Barcelona from winning the League title, I have seen several post saying Real Madrid will not allow Barcelona to do this is Real Madrid the only big Spanish club that can defeat or contest for the league title, is not that am trying to say that Real Madrid can't compete with Barcelona for the title, is just that they are also clubs that is capable of competing for Laliga Spanish title.

Back to the topic, Barcelona could not perform at their most against Valecano, that draw have really draw them back making  Athletic Biboa and Real Madrid be over them and also Villareal drawing point with them which is a set back for them as team who are competing for the title.

I think in this what mattered the most was winning and Barcelona did just that which literally cancelled out their opponents performance, without a win performance will be quickly forgotten as more attention will.be channeled to the winner the most because they would want to know how with a the performance the other team won but it is all good that it is a different one but Barcelona is a team you should for no reason think they will make it easy with the small teams, every game counts and so does the points.

Yea they are wasteful..It’s not about the defense but yeah defense has it own side .. The reason why you probably didn’t notice is because they create a lot of chances to cover up.. It’s not every game though but it’s somehow obvious in some but still you might not notice it because it ends up as a win(unless you’re used to watching their games). The Intergame was just partly defense, they should have put the lead to 5-3 and there shouldn’t have been any ET but they wasted those chances and eventually got kicked out in the extratime time..

For the past seasons, Atletico Madrid has been performing well in Europe and also in their local League as well. In every season, they've always shown a top-level performance, but has also faced many disappointments. I'm afraid they're struggling this season too; is Diego Simeone's strategies not working anymore? Cause it seems like they're stuck at 1 goal per match. Imagine finding it difficult to defeat the weakest of all teams in the relegation zones?

 For the record, Atlético hasn't signed any important player this season and I won't blame their loss on the manager who has tried his best in the past seasons with the club. What's the management planning on doing to fix the situation? We had the longest transfer window this season and the news hasn't carried anything about their interest on any player.

He was once one of Manchester United's fantastic signings, signed for €100 million and now sold for €25 million to Real Betis. However, Antony even said it was his best decision, and he was very happy to leave Manchester United and move to Real Betis.

We don't know what he experienced at Manchester United, and he even shed tears when he revealed it all. At least now he can prove his abilities again; he can't waste such a great opportunity at Real Betis.

Today's match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano was really unexpected for me, and I never thought that a great team like Barcelona would draw a match with a team like Rayo Vallecano by 1-1 goal, one really doesn't go with Barcelona, ​​​​due to this loss, Barcelona has already fallen behind in the points table, although one is just a start, but at least their performance against Rayo Vallecano is not acceptable, even in the match their attack on goal performance was not good, Barcelona had only 3 shots on target in the whole match, while Rayo Vallecano had a total of 6 shots on target. Barcelona could not perform as expected today.

We saw last match of La Liga tournament which was between two teams like Rayo Vallecano football team and Barcelona football team. Match was ended with draw result because no team could do more goals in this match and  Yamal was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 40 minutes when it was required to build pressure on opponent team and before that both teams were going smoothly and after that we saw silence but at 67 minutes , Rayo Vallecano player did excellent and he did goal at 67 minutes and match was ended with draw result because we didn't see any goal after that .The possession percentage of Barcelona football team was very high which was 57 percent and that team passes were also very high in this match and that team but match was draw.

If they don’t fix this and come up against teams that can use their chances well, like Atlético Madrid, and still has strong forwards then they could be in a lot of trouble, just saying…

Finally, someone who really watched Barcelona. Last season, Barcelona created chances for fun. They created enough chances that they could have scored at least 5 goals in all their matches if they had converted the majority of their chances. People just see that "Barcelona won 3-0", but they didn't watch the game to know that it could have been 5 or 6.
They were too wasteful in attack. Players like Raphina, Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez, Ferran Torres and Yamal (in the second half of the season) missed so many chances, but they mostly won because they create chances in abundance.

It will be the same this season. They will miss so many chances as they have already done in the first 3 league matches of the season. What can make this season bad is if they don't create as much as they did last season and if they concede goals more than they did last season.
