La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[PremiumcryptoHub]

Atletico Madrid Football Club are looking for their first win in today's La Liga match of this new season, in this situation they were able to take a one-goal lead against the Villarreal football team before the end of the first half. In today's match, this club is trying to play in a very defensive manner because we all saw they have not yet been able to make their campaign in this new season colorful, so in my opinion either way, maybe Thiago Simeone's team has a chance to regain confidence by winning this match.
Spanish professional footballer Pablo Barrios scored a goal for Atletico Madrid in the 9th minute of today's match of the new season's La Liga, everyone saw his strategy in the early stages.

[SuperBitMan]

Real Sociedad put Real Madrid through a lot, but Real Madrid showed they have quality players and won the match. They played with 10 men for a long time and managed to get the three points. I think this match was a tough test for Real Madrid, and they succeeded.
[….]
I think we'll see Xavi Alonso's impact on the team in every match. If Real Madrid adopts a more tactical approach, they will easily win many tough matches.

Tbh, Realmadrid tried today.. it ain’t easy to play with 10 men for 70+ mins, they did same last season though I think against osasuna,almost same minute with when Jude Bellingham was sent off then and they played well till last minute but later had a draw . Today it  was almost draw once again, Keeper did save them some dangerous attempts from Real sociedad.. The game ended with more dominance from Real sociedad anyways , they weren’t just lucky(real sociedad ) but overall Madrid tried.
Btw I guess you meant Xabi Alonso

Real Madrid did very well today and I knew they will win the match they are very determine to make sure they lift the la Liga title this season, kylian mbappe is a very good player he performed very well in this match and I'm very sure you will keep doing better as for vinicius junior he really did not perform the way I expected and that was even while the coach had to change him in second half however I'm happy they won the match since they are topping the table they will not want to lose any match they will make sure that they will win every match.
Real Madrid should keep this spirit up so they can lift the la Liga title, as for Barca they are also very informed but I don't think Real Madrid will give them that chance to lift the la Liga title this season.

[KingsDen]

I was concerned after the red card, because I knew Real Madrid are still struggling in their defense. After I saw them get their second goal, I felt a bit of relief. Even though Real Sociedad really tried to win, they were not able to, which is still great for Real Madrid, as they really did a great job even with 10 men on the pitch. It wasn’t that easy for them, though, but at the end the game was theirs, as they ended up winning. The main thing that matters is to keep getting the 3 points in each game.

I am the only guy that doesn't still have confidence in this present Madrid squad? I am honestly not confident about their performance.
This is not the Real Madrid that is always projected for both Laliga and the champions league. If nothing serious is done in the squad, Barcelona is going to win the league again and I have already written Madrid out of the champions league. They are not the favourites and they still have bonding issues in the team.

There is still great internal negative competition between their two star players - Vini Jr and Mbappe. Things are obviously not going to change very soon. It was be better for Madrid to break Vini's heart by putting him in the market in order to create stability in the squad. I have known from time that Mbappe's move to Madrid is not going to better them.

Sure, Real Madrid really performed very well and they deserve the three point. Xabi Alonso as be doing well for real madrid and they are topping the league currently, if they continue doing this way I think they can probably achieve the league title this season. The red card they give Hugsin i don't think he deserve it, he should be a yellow card because is not the last man. Anyway they won the game and that is a good result. They should be preparing for the Champions League next week. Mbappe as be dominating the league and I think he should be the best key players currently in the league he do everything to score goals in any match and he can be the golden boot winner this season. Athletico Madrid should try and win tonight against Villarreal and they are leading by one goal already but they usually score first and probably end in a draw match let see how he will goes.

Barcelona should be getting an easy three points against Valencia, doesn't mean they will, just saying they should be and because of that it's going to be something that will be very profitable for them, and nothing different will happen.

Because they already lost points, and they can't afford to lose more points and they need to end up with some more wins. If they can do that then they are going to end up with a lot better returns and wouldn't face issues at all. It's the most important part of the deal, and it's going to take time for it to change. Best case scenario Barcelona will play with their %100 and when they do that Valencia is not even a rival for them, it's a very easy game for them, so they have to play with their %100.

I'm as well not too confident in them this season. I guess majority just have that high expectations because of the signings they've made and the level of high quality young players that they've got. But we have to understand that a lot has changed. I personally hope they can do well, but a strong side of me just feel that they might as well struggle this season. It was a 2-1 win with a red card. They bagged 3 points though, but can they continue like that for the remaining games of the season?, I don't think so.

I might just have to reduce my own expectations, and hope that they surprise me. Same thing goes for other top clubs that hasn't fully build a tough momentum. Of course, the season is still very much fresh, so time will tell. Congrats to them on their win. Let's see what they have for us in their coming UCL fixture.

What a wonderful performance for real Madrid,  playing with one man down from 32 minutes of the game and still dominated the game without giving chance for real sociedad to record a point at the end of the game. Although it was a difficult win for real Madrid if not for the tactical changes made by xavi Alonso the game won't have ended well but Madrid players deserved to be praised for their  relentless effort in defending the game even with such high pressure from real sociedad side starting from when they where given the red card till the end of the game

It was quite a tense match for Real Madrid... playing with only 10 men, and they still managed to maintain their formation against Real Sociedad's very pressing game. Arda and Mbappé were key players in this match, as they were able to maintain the midfield, while continuing to launch sharp counter-attacks against Real Sociedad. The other players also maintained their formation well and did not allow Real Sociedad more opportunities to score. And fortunately, they were still able to hold off Real Sociedad's attacks and maintain the 2-1 score until the end of the match.
I would say that their performance was quite good, even though they were a bit overwhelmed, but they still maintained their game and win the match.

Unarguably their performance  was very good today..I wasn't expecting them to hold off sociedad till that end of the game...I don't know if they can keep up their performance but right now it seems that Madrid would win the tittle...Even with 10 men they maintained a perfect form..gradually the old madrid is coming back because they are stepping up again...like you said, even under pressure they maintained their game

Real Madrid looks like they have finally regained their good performance cause the Real Madrid of last season will definitely find it hard to hold on to the game when they are reduced to a ten men but they still scored after getting their player sent off and managed to hold the game till the end of the match. Real Sociedad tried in the game but the performance of Real Madrid and the good changes that was made by Xabi Alonso could not allow them to equalize the goal, Real Madrid is still topping the league they are showing that they are back to their old days.

[Majestic-milf]

 I'd have to hand it off to Real Madrid for their display today in their game against Real sociedad and their ability to maintain an unbeaten record despite being a player down. At a point in the game I thought that the hosts would punish Madrid after Dean Huijsen was red carded for a bad tackle on his opponent but Xabi Alonso's boys kept up the fight and fought till the game was over.
I'm thinking that it's because it's a team like Real sociedad that met them cause if they were paired against a much tougher side like Barcelona, they wouldn't have been so lucky.

Saying they would win the title is a direct statement judging from just todays game shows a fan behaviour. Barcelona are definitely going to compete against Real Madrid, this season will be more intense to watch because i believe it will be better than last season, last season Barcelona had the La Liga title at a time when Real Madrid were having turbulence in their performance, now things are getting straight for Madrid, i'm expecting a close fight from both teams.

[$weetne$$]

I was impressed and also give Real Madrid alot of credit for their performance, for me I don't know if I would say that Real Sociedad didn't play well or it's just Real Madrid that did excellently well because going one man down and  still get to score and seal the win against the home team which is not something you get to see everyday. Real sociedad of old would have played alot better and harder than this because they are also a team which play good football in La Liga.

Playing with a man down is enough to affect the mind and psychology of the players of that particular team and then this was the shoes Madrid found themselves and were able to still conquer and got their complete points from the game, Madrid has this very strong form and their team is a very solid one which I believe will be able to handle situations such as that but then I commend them on this win.

This match between athletico and Villarreal was really am interesting one, and am surprise that no one is really talking about this match between athletico and Villarreal right now, and if I can remember vividly this match was among the heat talk on this thread few days back before today, where a lot of people was projecting Villarreal to win the match due to their performance, but things went the other way round, athletico secure their first triumph of the 2025/2026 LA Liga season with a 2:0 win over Villarreal. Although Villarreal is still in a good position in the LA LIga table fourth place quite impressing, while athletico is in nineth place in the LA LIga table.

Haha I was really worried when I saw Real Madrid playing with 10 players especially after Real Sociedad scored 1 goal and they continued to attack aggressively luckily Real Madrid were able to handle it until the end of the match, if Real Madrid draw today then Barcelona will take over the standings. I highlight Real Madrid's defense which looks more solid from 4 matches they only conceded 2 goals well, usually this is an indication that they are closer to the title this season.

Barcelona will play their 4th match tomorrow against Valencia, and I think Barcelona deserves to be the favorite because they are playing at home and also because they want to catch up with Real Madrid.

I'm surprised to see Atletico Madrid winning this match truthfully.    You know how terrible they started the La Liga. It's like things are going even worse for them in time...

I know they were desperate for an immediate win. But Villarreal were like one of the hardest competitors to face. However Simeone found a way out this time. A good way to improve the general morale among the players maybe.

Will it be sustainable though? I've big doubts for now...

[SUPERSAIAN]

Arda Güler is playing much better with every match, improving his game. If he continues this consistency and continues to improve, Arda Güler could become a key player for Real Madrid for many years to come. Mbappe, too, is unforgiving of mistakes in the future. Real Sociedad's first mistake was made by Mbappe, who was there and scored. Last year's top scorer, Mbappe is picking up where he left off this season.

This game was the first final in a sense because if Atletico had lost this game, it couldn't be any worse for them. They haven't won a game so far this season and Simeone would have been pressure, while I think he doesn't care that much and maybe he is at times looking forward to an end of this relationship with Atletico. They have made him a great offer back at the time when he could leave or extend his contract, but I think that Atletico is not where they have been for quite some years now.

Villareal on the contrary could have extended their impressive early season, but it's still fine for them.

The match was supposed to me making headlines if Atletico had lait the game because their coach would be under fire by now but they decided to improve in their performance today and they defeated Villarreal 2:0 to start their winning of the season.I also predicted Villarreal to win or draw due to their good performance this season but they could not withstand Atletico Madrid today despite starting well this season the home team came all out and their performance made them to get an easy win in the game.

Shocking result today as Deportivo Alaves stunned Athletic Bilbao at home today by a narrow 1- 0 win to edge them for the all three points, just before the start of La Liga games today, both Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao were leveled on points but Real Madrid won there match against Real Sociedad to move three points ahead and I was expecting Bilbao to follow in the same path by beating Alaves but instead they were the once to lose out to Alaves.

Laliga this season is really turning into something very special. Honestly, I never thought Alaves could hold Bilbao, let alone getting all the three points right in their backyard. I wasn't even bothered to watch the match live because I felt it was going to be an easy game for Bilbao, but I was so surprised when I saw the full time result. 

[MK-74]

Real Madrid really struggled today against Real Sociedad.
In the 32nd minute, Dean Huijsen received a red card and left his team with 10 men.
Arda Güler scored a beautiful goal, which might have been the decisive goal for the win.

I don’t really admire Real Madrid anymore because they don’t give me the old Real Madrid feeling. With these players, I don’t really believe they can win big things.
