La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Solodoski]

Now Betis with the arrival of Antony has a new weapon or tool to use, and is a very well know, the last season he played like the player he was before joining Manchester United, os i expect to see the same this season and with that i can for sure see BEtis fighting for the champions League spots for the next season. And much more when Atletico Madrid is doing this bad.

Anthony has never been a bad player, but I guess he could not fit into the Manchester United team or his price tag really affected his form. When he went to Betis he really played better and also improved the team and now that he has finally made the move permanent, I believe we will see a better Anthony and that will also improve Betis. Hopefully they can secure a Champions League spot, because they have started the league well.

When he was still a Manchester United player he wasn't playing well may be because the team was not getting better so all the good players was not seen and Anthony happened to be one of the players who wasn't in good relationship with the manager of the team so he wasn't giving much time but moving to Real Betis he was the player of the team because of his contribution to goals and the wins on the club now as they have officially signed him it is time to do more of what he did for the team last season his contribution and the performance of the team should earn them the champions League qualification next season.

Girona has already conceded 10 goals, ouch

The season is still very fresh, I think that is why the likes of Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal have occupy the top. I don't have too much confidence for them to stay at that level when the season  reaches the middle. Currently real Madrid are with points which is actually a good start for them and I know there will not want to leave a chance because they have suffered a lot last season. I think it's only barcelon that is still finding it difficult to get to their good track despite the season is still at the bottom. Girona haven't picked their good form this time around but I hope they will get back after the international break.

Ultimately, this should be a valuable lesson not only for Antony but also for other players who are in the transfer period. The choice of club is important so that we don't lose momentum and performance on the field declines at the new club, as Antony has experienced at Manchester United.

Poor chemistry, stagnant performance, and strained relationships between players and coaches create an unhealthy club environment that negatively impacts both the players and the club as a whole.

Now, Antony has found a new home at Betis and received significant support, which has clearly boosted his confidence. This should be leveraged as momentum, especially since his poor performance at Manchester United gradually improved when he was on loan.

Playing outside the Premier League is very different compared to other leagues. Most players find it difficult to perform in Premier League as the most difficult league i must say, even Raphina didn't perform as good when he was in PL playing for Leeds.

Premier League is no ground for average footballer, you need to be really good with toughness, while La Liga are where average players goes and they begin to perform much better. Real Betis signing Anthony was a good move, he fits their play and definitely will contribute a lot for them this season.

...

It's true that the season has just begun, so it's quite natural to see the performance of the big teams has declined a bit... just look at how Barcelona at the beginning of this season was quite difficult to get more points, they were even held to a draw by Rayo, and also Atletico Madrid who is currently in a pretty bad condition, slumped to the bottom of the rankings due to not winning a single match.
These big teams are clearly having trouble organizing their game, but that doesn’t mean this will be the final picture of the season, usually big clubs have the capacity to bounce back and find their rhythm as the competition progresses. So I see these big teams coming back to the top once they get their game together.

[rachael9385]

You know, some people bet based on emotion. What I mean is that people bet on Barcelona because they are fans of Barcelona and do not just consider the performance. They don’t really have anything like fear in them when betting on Barcelona. If not for the way they turned out to be, I would also be surprised, and I expected Barcelona to perform more than they did. However, that is football.

Sometimes even if a team is the strongest in the competition, they won’t always be good; sometimes they mess up things. Vallecano players are very confident in the match; they came ready because they know how strong and good the Barcelona squad is this season, so they came prepared.

Rayo Vallecano is not a weak team, as people have assumed, in fact, I expected them to win when they pressured Barcelona in the second half. They played much better than Barcelona, Vallecano had 6 shots on target compared to Barcelona's 3 and scored from a penalty, if Barcelona had not been given a penalty in the first half of the match, I wonder how they would have scored. Rayo Vallecano could have won the game, but their second goal was disallowed out due to offside.

Many people expected Barcelona to win because Vallecano lost their previous two games against Athletic Bilbo's, and Barcelona seemed to be stronger than Bilbo, so many people would bet on Barcelona to win because the bookmakers also considered them the favourite team. Any club that plays Vallecano away must be prepared to face big challenges because they are strong at home.

Very true, underestimating rayo vallecano especially ehn they have home advantage is a very dangerous game. They are known for giving big teams a tough time even though they are not consistent with their performance they are still very skillful and tactical. Barcelona did their best but it wasn't enough for them to win that game. We all expected Barcelona to win but it was disappointing  that they couldnt

Girona is such a joke, they picked up some momentum in the 2023/2024 season , even ended the season 3rd position then all of a sudden, started selling their forwards and some key players which eventually ruined the club.. Last season , they dropped drastically from third to sixteenth which is a lot of gap because they did some stupid sell offs even when the team was losing .. Not surprised they conceeded 10 goals already this season..I think they might even get relegated to another division.

Anthony loves Betis more than he loved United. He deserves a spot in the main squad, and happy to see him back in La Liga after a very long drama between Betis and MU. He has even rejected Bayern's €7m yearly offer. It proves his follow his passion instead of focusing on the monetary.
I think he will give everything to the Betis, and that's what i expect to him. He will get his confidence back, play better, and help Betis to step up.

He deserves to be treated well in his new club. I hope he will able to work as when he made it to the final of Conference league. Wish him luck.

Who wouldn’t love to leave this current Manchester United that is suffering from mediocrity mindset and toxicity. At Real Betis he has been treated better and welcomed by kind hearted fans with love, something he struggled to get at United no wonder he wanted only Real Betis this summer.

[Stormisover]

From my observations in Barcelona three matches that they have played, it shows that they might have difficulty this season in winning more matches to defend the title. I feel that's Real Madrid turn to win the Laliga title this season because that's how they have been rotating it since four years ago. Whenever, it's Madrid turn to win it, Barcelona performance will not be consistent which they have started with this season.

You are in a hurry. The season has not started well yet and the competition between the teams has not started. The season has only started and the teams have started playing matches. The league title cannot be decided or predicted by watching only three matches. You do not know yet what is going to happen with the players or what is going to happen with the teams. Even the teams have not finished building the team completely, some players are still being tested and new strategies are being tested. Already you are starting to predict the team that will win the title which is too early. I would suggest, at least let the teams play 15 matches and then pick the best team in the league. Even the teams have not yet entered the busy schedule, when they face a busy schedule it will become very difficult to be consistent in the league, wait for that time

Bro you don't use one game or three games rather to judge a team, the ones they have won with no stress at least we all acknowledge them so now they've draw one game isn't enough reason to start cautioning blame I still believe in them despite what ever might have happened besides you don't expect them to go unbeaten this season there must be win draw and lost so if the win or the draw come or lost come too early than expected we should just fold our arms and watch maybe till half of the season, and if we are to discuss that I think Barcelona is still in better position to win the league than Real Madrid.

[Dzwaafu11]

Xabi Alonso seems to have already established harmony among Real Madrid's players. The only criticism is that they don't score many goals. They're not wrong about that, as their victories are usually those with one goal more. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has accustomed us all to expecting four- or five-goal wins. Of course, even one goal after three points is enough, but if we're talking about the best team in the world, we expect more.

Criticism always comes to a coach, especially if they're the manager of Real Madrid, as this team is one of the most talked about teams worldwide.
Changing circumstances change everything, and the number of goals isn't really the issue, but rather how to consistently win.
Although we've seen Real Madrid consistently win by a much higher scoreline under Ancelotti, this doesn't mean much; it will take several big matches to see how consistent Real Madrid can be in achieving better results.

This is exactly what I'm expecting. Last year, under Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid suffered a decisive defeat against Barcelona. They failed to win a single Clasico match. This year, the biggest test for the new manager, and the one he'll be most exposed to, will be the matches against Barcelona. Other than that, the other matches won't draw much criticism. For now, Real Madrid is top of La Liga. That's what matters. They'll want to win against Barcelona and widen the gap, but until then, they have to win every match.

Winning every match is what I think will be impossible because on poly Real Madrid are still not like we know them. Although every team wants to defeat their opponents, even right now Barcelona is one of the top clubs in La Liga, and they are in their best form till now. Coaches are not supposed to be confused by the criticism coming from the fans even if they do things the way they are supposed to.

Criticism is showing to come from the other side. I feel like coaches should just do what they feel like they are supposed to do and benefit the club and the manager because criticism will be coming every day and time, so they need to avoid that.

And much more when Atletico Madrid is doing this bad.

Real Betis will be stronger then before since they have achieved Antony for permanent deal. and that will make the club do well since they have get a key player in the team. They will challenge the big club as how they did last season when Antony is in the club. And even get the opportunity to defeat Real Madrid last season when Ancelotti is still coaching. I don't know when Real Betis qualify for champions league last and this season can be there opportunity to qualify because Athletico Madrid are not really performing very great this season, and I don't think they will probably compete in the league competition.

I think they just want to focus on the ucl this time around the way Dortmund used to perform weak in the league and perform good in the Champions League. Let wait after the international break and see the performance of Real Betis if they can do well since they really believe on Antony and he will surely help them this season.

Betis will also face Levante in their upcoming match. I think this match would be a perfect opening for Antony, who has just rejoined Betis. I think if Levante were their opponent, it would be easy for Betis to beat them. Levante's performance has been poor so far. They've only lost in their last three matches. With that in mind, I think Betis can definitely beat this team. And if they win, I think it will be very good for Betis' confidence to be restored again.

LaLiga tournament is continue and Levante team will play match against Real Betis football team as Real Betis has good status on the table and they will try to win this match. They have 5 points on the table which is excellent performance by that team in last matches and that team became successful to draw 2 matches and 1 match won by that team but Levante football team won only 1 match and they will try to win this match because they have played less matches as comparison to opponent team. The head to head performance of Real Betis football team is excellent because that team won 3 matches out of 5 matches which they played against each other and two matches won by Levante football team.

Big teams like Barcelona ares such that you cannot count on their poor performance because  they are definitely going to bounce back in time and improve  their performance, Rayo and Atletico were possibly just lucky and so we cannot  count that on Barcelona as been weak and not having been able to start of very smoothly but I believe  they are definitely going  to do much more better far into the new season and do not be surprise when they end up winning  the league title this season.

La Liga football is just different, watching how most of these elite teams perform and how they're able to draft significant winnings for themselves. Barcelona have everything to win games but experienced a mere setback in their last game but that's not going to stop them from coming back stronger after the international break. Barcelona is a popular and formidable team that have been extremely fantastic in winning games. Hansi Flick have always made special enquiries to lift his club to main ground. What's the special target for Barcelona? They're straight with winning and wouldn't jeopardize their opportunities for anything else.

[TelolettOm]

Unfortunately, the latest news is bad news for Barcelona, ​​as their left-back, Alejandro Balde, suffered a hamstring injury during the training. He's likely to be out for three to four weeks. ..........

I thought the transfer window was over. If it is, Barcelona won't be able to sign a new player, and a lack of players in this area could be a problem for them. We're talking about an injury that's been around for about a month. That's not a short period of time, and it's clear that this time is necessary for recovery. This training issue will be a headache for Barcelona. I hope this issue doesn't become a problem in the race against Real Madrid.

Yes, it's over.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Balde's recovery will depend on how he progresses, with his return likely scheduled for October 1, 2025. Hansi Flick will undoubtedly face a tough challenge and must strategize to ensure Balde remains strong for at least the next few matches before his return: against Valencia, Newcastle, Getafe, Oviedo, Real Sociedad, and, even worse, the UCL against PSG.

Barcelona dropping points against weaker teams is not new. We have seen this many times in the past. Even in the previous season, Barcelona dropped points against weaker teams in several matches. On the other hand, we have seen Barcelona perform well against teams like Real Madrid, Atletico and Sociedad. Barcelona failed to win against Rayo Vallecano. There is no denying that Rayo's performance was incredible. They definitely earned points in this match. At the same time, I would like to say that if Hansi Flick wants to dominate La Liga, then every match will have to be considered very seriously. If he cannot continue his winning streak, it will not be possible for Barcelona to dominate La Liga.

You are right that Barcelona has history of struggling against weaker teams while playing well against strong rivals. However last match with Rayo Vallecano was 1-1 draw not loss for Barcelona. Your point about Hansi Flick needing to keep winning streak is very important because if Barcelona wants to win league they can not afford to lose points to any team. Flick challenge will be to make sure his team plays consistently well in every match.

[Luzin]

I don't have too much confidence for them to stay at that level when the season  reaches the middle. Currently real Madrid are with points which is actually a good start for them and I know there will not want to leave a chance because they have suffered a lot last season. I think it's only barcelon that is still finding it difficult to get to their good track despite the season is still at the bottom. Girona haven't picked their good form this time around but I hope they will get back after the international break.

This is still a long way from the finish line. I'm sure there will be many changes. There are many teams capable of causing surprises at the beginning, but they struggle at the end. There are teams that are capable of staying stable. A long league season with many competitions will affect team performance. Injuries, fatigue, and all other factors will have an effect. So I think all teams will continue to work hard to win every game, so they don't lose points because every point is the key to a team's success in reaching the finish line.

And I don't think Barcelona always struggle against weak teams, and weak teams are usually easy to beat. What happened in Barcelona's match against Rayo is commonplace and can happen to any team, including Real Madrid and other big teams. And I don't think a draw is a bad thing, but Hansi Flick must be able to identify his mistakes and correct them to achieve good results in future matches.
And I think Joan Garcia played very well in this match, making five crucial saves, which means Barcelona's defense needs to improve, and the loss of Inigo Martinez to Al Nassr has had an impact, and Hansi Flick must address this immediately.
