La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[bitLeap]

If Rashford does not show readiness and good performance when played or in training sessions, he will remain as he is now. His performance is indeed not as expected, but if given the chance to play more this season, he must show a performance that is not disappointing. I am quite surprised by the rumors that Barcelona will return Rashford to United earlier. I thought he would still get a chance.

As you know, Hansi Flick is not the type of coach who takes things easy. He is quite disciplined and tough on players who do not meet expectations. Whether they are his own players or loan players, if they are not serious about performing well for the club, there is no place for them to play. Rashford still has time to improve, but time is running out and he needs to wake up.

[Adbitco]

Barcelona is actually winning their game against Valencia. Just look at their last h2h. They always won their game against Valencia with massive score. The most important thing is that they still play with,same players and same coach. They're also hosting this game, which pumping their mentality so hard.
Betting on them bring priced 1.25 for the straight bet for them to win, which i think really worthy to take it. I tell you about the fact based on the actual data, not a baseless argument without supported by reliable data. They have almost 100% chance to win.

It's not going to be a bargain even, Barcelona will surely win the match and I believe it's going to end with at least 3 or more goals for Barcelona. Valencia has been shit for some seasons now that they mostly end up in the second half of the table. Valencia and Sevilla declined in such a manner that is still making me to be surprised with such sudden decline in form. Barcelona is definitely going to have an easy outing against Valencia.

Real Madrid's away game against Real Sociedad won't be easy, I'm sure of it. Dropping points on away games like this is common in Spain. Real Madrid hasn't dropped any points yet, but this match could turn things around. Furthermore, there's a Champions League match three days after this one, and manager Xabi Alonso might be on the pitch with his substitutes, considering the Champions League match. It's possible Mbappé might need a rest. The manager will be needed more for the Marseille match. What do you think? Will Real Madrid drop points in this match?

If there is a strong team after Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, then that strong team is Real Sociedad. Real Madrid will take on Real Sociedad in the league competition on the 13th, although Real Madrid will be the favorite until they take the field in this match, it will still be very difficult for Real Madrid to earn full points in this match. Real Sociedad will not be able to win against Real Madrid but they will be a big obstacle in front of Real Madrid's victory. In the previous season, we have seen the competition between these two teams where the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad has been a tough competition.
Since Madrid's players are performing well now, I will bet on Real Madrid in this match although I am not really confident.

Real Madrid is currently doing well in La Liga standings; they are ranking the La Liga standings, and that is to show you that the team is not here to play this season. Real Sociedad is in the 16th position in the table, although the league is still on, and I can’t say just because Real Madrid is at the top of the table will guarantee them a win in this match.

but the fact is that Real Madrid won’t want to lose this match because they want to maintain their position and points on the table, so with that, seriously, I don’t think Real Sociedad will succeed in this match, but we can’t predict it that way. Let’s wait and watch how it goes; the competition is becoming interesting.

There's no need to worry too much about Barcelona in this match, as they can easily win, I'm sure about that. Although they were held to a disappointing draw by Rayo Vallecano in their last match, I believe Barcelona's squad is far superior to their current opponents, and they've learned from their mistakes and won't repeat them in this match.
The only real shame is that they're not playing at Camp Nou, but at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, with a smaller crowd. But that shouldn't be a significant problem for Barcelona's performance in this match.

Playing away is the only advantage I think Valencia has gotten in this game, Barcelona is to me has the form and strength to get a possible three points from this game, although Valencia may likely go very defensive so as to be able  have  a chance to draw or reduce how much goal they eventually gets to concede.

[Cryptoprincess101]

I have been reading lots of news and complaints after the game of Bolivia Vs Brazil and the bone of contention was that, Raphinha was called and players like Vini, Rodrygo and Militao wasn't called. They claimed that Ancelotti was favouring Real Madrid players and hurting Barcelona player. They said the agenda was to exhaust Raphinha while leaving Real Madrid players fresh, lol. Let's imagine it was flipped, these same people will claim that only Real Madrid players were called while leaving out Barcelona player.

I don't even see any sense in all of these because it is a privilege for a national team to call a player for international duty so if Carlo Ancelotti calls Raphinha and didn't call Vinicius and the rest Real Madrid players who are Brazilians, it doesn't call for any sentiment, besides if Raphinha feels that Barcelona is more important than his country then he can reject the call for international matches and focus and club games. I know how important Raphinha is to Barcelona but if he gets exhausted from the international matches the club can still cope for some time without him. While they are thinking that Ancelotti is not being fair by not calling Real Madrid players for international matches, it could be that the coach and the players aren't in good terms again after his exit from Real Madrid.

[dezoel]

Recently there have still been rumours such as Rashford could even return to Manchester United on a earlier date. They say he doesn't look good enough in training which Hansi Flick says.

I can't say Rashford has been impressive in the league games so far either unlike his effort in pre-season friendlies.    But hopefully he can get better in time. For now he would stay as Raphinha's backup.

Really? I haven't heard of that, he played in all their games hasn't he? Looks like he is doing his best there and they are trusting him enough to keep playing him. Plus, if he leaves today, they do not have anyone to replace him. I always said, they didn't need him but a proper striker. Ferran Torres and Lewandowski are their strikers and that is a big issue.

Because Lewandowski is the only pure goal scorer on that team, and he is almost always either injured or tired or not playing or benched. Torres is the other striker, but he is more of a forward, and that means he doesn't look to score right away, he looks at all options. They need one guy, probably bench player, to come in and just look for scoring, only aim at goal scoring.

Playing away is the only advantage I think Valencia has gotten in this game, Barcelona is to me has the form and strength to get a possible three points from this game, although Valencia may likely go very defensive so as to be able  have  a chance to draw or reduce how much goal they eventually gets to concede.

If we look at Valencia performance so far, it can be said that it is quite capable of providing a surprise in this match, this is also reinforced when they beat Getafe, which is one of the clubs with a strong defense with a landslide score, but fortunately for Barcelona, ​​even though their current schedule is busy because they have to play in the UCL after this match, their opponent in the UCL is Newcastle, not strong enough, so Barcelona can be a little more aggressive to ensure the full 3 points are achieved when playing against Valencia, unfortunately Barcelona chances on the exchange are only 1.25, too low a return, two decent options are handicap -1.5 (1.65) and BTTS (1.74).

All the odds is in favour of Barcelona as they look ready to take all three points from Valencia but my fear is the champions League coming up next week, Barcelona is likely to rest players because of the champions League and Valencia may capitalize on that fact and come into this game with all it takes to frustrates Barcelona.

[ITExpert]

Because Real Madrid has a well-established system, and success can come even with player changes. Last year, they had a disappointing season under Carlo Ancelotti, but that doesn't apply to this year. This year, they've already put in a much better performance with Xabi Alonso. Barcelona dropped two points, and Real Madrid has been undefeated so far. Champions League matches are about to begin, and we're seeing a truly good Real Madrid this year.

I think it's not easy for someone to defeat a team who learns from their mistakes and has a strong position. The same situation is with the Real Madrid team because they improved a lot this season. Almost they overcame all their shortcomings in the last season. And in this scenario we can't forget the importance of a coach and what he has the abilities to do with the team. A coach is the one who has the power of build a strong team and to damage any team. And also Real Madrid is one of those teams who always seems to be fighting and trying to maintain their position and be on good points. There was a decline in their performance but the good thing is that they know how to overcome and how to manage their status. And I think it's good to fight for the position that things get worse when they lose focus.

[Egii Nna]

You are right, barcelonas form isn't really that bad this season, although their momentum has reduced a bit. They havent really lost any game so far but the reason why they are at the fourth position on the table is because they were not able to win rayo, the game ended as a draw and Madrid and Bilbao were able to win their matches. This match against Valencia is going to be an opportunity for them to step up

La Liga is a league of points, and all the top teams are doing their best to see that they maintain a high point, and also conquer more goals than others, so that they can get another advantage, which is that same advantage that makes Real Madrid top in the table now. But that doesn’t mean Barcelona will not do that good in the game, because their performance is still in a good run. They will put more effort into winning the game so that they can stay tight to their competitors in the league, rather than giving them more opportunities by staying back with few points. Even though I have hope that Barcelona will win Valencia in the game, I expect them to keep more wins than draws.

While they are thinking that Ancelotti is not being fair by not calling Real Madrid players for international matches, it could be that the coach and the players aren't in good terms again after his exit from Real Madrid.

Well, I see it as something relating to form, Militao is just coming back from injury, Rodrygo hasn't been in form for some months now and Vini too hasn't been in form since last season and his only picking up form again. I already knew that whatever Ancelotti does will definitely bring up talks from the Barcelona camp. Just watch and hear what they will say, the day Ancelotti will drop Raphinha and play these other guys.

Barcelona still remain the favourite in this match. Another thing is that Barcelona will be playing at home that day, so for this I’m giving Barcelona a high chance of winning the match. We already know that they are better than Valencia, but we are not going to give them a guarantee that they will win the match. As you said already, every club is trying to make sure they maintain their points, so for that reason I know Barcelona will not want to drop points. Let’s see how it goes.

I sincerely want to believe Barcelona will defeat Valencia, Barcelona is not a lazy club to an extend doubting their performance. Home benefit is also involve aside home benefit anyone can easily tell how Barcelona is competitive over the past years, Barcelona played draw against Rayo Vallecano no one expected the end result and sometimes football match might not go as plan so I will not judge Barcelona base one their previous match, they’re one of the competitive team outside La liga generally well I’m expecting a win viewing the possibilities.

[slapper]

For the past few days, I've been thinking about Barcelona's upcoming home match, but Barcelona's current form is a bit questionable.
Barcelona should have been able to win against Valencia, who are currently in poor form, but Barcelona's performance in their last match has left fans doubtful about the final result.
Barcelona fans' only hope is to see Barcelona win or at least draw rather than lose points completely.

After just three games Barcelona's form is definitely questionable because of how exposed their defense is and how much they concede since the start of the league. They still adopt the high line style of play which exposes their defense and when the attack didn't score many goals then there will be a problem for them, they either Draw or lose the match.  I am also concerned because they haven't faced any serious threats yet and they already concede in this manner, that's really bad for a team that what's to challenge for the league this season again. It's still early so there is still time to adjust and improve their defense because the way Real Madrid are playing now they really look like a serious threat and if Barca are not careful they will lose the trophy to Real Madrid.

Valencia can actually cause harm to Barcelona with that poor defending so if care is not taking Valencia can surprise Barcelona also but I know they won't want that.

I believe that people underestimatehow much of this is situational and not tactical stubbornness. Barca started with three away matches in a row and their first "home" happen in a 6k capacity B-stadium where tickets were sold by lottery. That kills the atmosphere, kills the intimidation and makes it easier to get an opponent like Valencia to communicate their press triggers. The defense, therefore, is fragile, but rhythm is part of it. They have no proper big crowd home to make them confident in their rest-defense

And even away, they might not be able to defeat Barcelona just like that, so they have to work very hard to be able to defeat Barcelona, and the way Barcelona is preparing for this season, it will be a very hard game for them to just lose that game, just like any other club, Barcelona. and the only option they will want to rely on is a defensive game. And for how long will they be able to defend? Because they will eventually loosen up, and Barcelona will be able to penetrate them.

And I am very sure that the game will not end in a draw because Barcelona will score. I am very certain because Barcelona is in form, and they have all the necessary elements to win this game; therefore, Valencia should simply play with a relaxed mindset.

Barcelona has just boosted their coaching crew as Thiago Alcantara is back as part of Hansi Flick's coaching crew I believe he will be able to calm the tension in the team and help players focus better. Barcelona is a team that can beat anyone in the world and I believe that they will go far into this season without losing.
I understand they are trying to prepare for life after Robert Lewandowski but I still see him as the best fit to start ahead of Ferran Torres who can come in the second half.

Barcelona up against Valencia either home or away Barcelona will definitely get a win because they can't repeat the mistake of sharing points after their last poor performance against Rayo, yes they will be the host in the game and they stand a better chance to get their confidence back if they beat Valencia convincingly. Barcelona has a better squad, good winning history against their opponent we should expect them to win and probably score up to 3 goals.

A team like Barcelona drops points once and comes back with even more ambition in the next match. I believe they will make no mistakes and easily win against Valencia, as this will be a home game. Valencia won't be a problem for Barcelona. Barcelona will look for a win in this match, and they will get it on their home turf.

Last season, Barcelona beat Valencia 5-0 in a cup match. We can't blame Barcelona for dropping points once this season.

A team that fails against Rayo Vallecano can also fail against Valencia. As unlikely as it was that they will drop points against Rayo Vallecano, if you see the stats of that game you would realize that Rayo could have won it as they were not any worse than Barcelona. Now they play at home which makes a big difference, but there is never a guarantee for Barcelona.

It is true that sometimes crowd motivate players to do exploits because they love when they are been gingered and hype but in this case I don't think crowd will stop Barcelona from winning and going home with 3 points, I don't know how form Valencia is but they are not rivals with Barcelona and after they drew last match I don't think they will want to draw or loss any match again for the time been and I believe Barcelona next meeting with Rayo vallecano they will want to spell there name.  Barcelona need a good and a strong defenders, this really affect them last season and if they don't want to do something about it they won't have much victory like last season.
