La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[SilverCryptoBullet]

Atletico Madrid didn't start this season well. They were losing against Rayo, but they managed to turn the game around. Julian Alvarez shone like a real star. They have Real Madrid derby coming up in three days, they boosted their morale before that game. I don't think they have much chance of challenging for the top two this season but they won't want to give up too early either.
Diego Simeone has been managing this team for years, perhaps it's truly time for a change. This topic has been seriously discussed in recent months. This could really be his last season.

Julian Alvarez was underrated in many years from Manchester City to Argentina teams and I felt very impressive with Julian with his performances in World Cup 2022 for his national team. Before that tournament, Lautaro Martinez was a better striker and more experienced than Julian as he was a key striker in Inter Milan for several seasons while Julian was only a young striker and a substitution in Manchester City. That big tournamnet changed Julian's value and career a lot and even he was given more opportutities, appearances one season after World Cup 2022, he did not satisfy with it and decided to join Atletico Madrid. It's a good decision from Julian as in Atletico Madrid, he has become a star player there and carried more responsibilities as a key player.

Last season they played great and were at the top of La Liga for a while but due to poor performances they could not maintain their top position. This season they have started very badly and have not been able to win matches against weaker opponents. I predicted their defeat in the match with Rayo. Most of the chances are against Atlético Madrid.

They did not begin this season well but match by match, they have recovered from a bad start and now they have only two points less than a fourth position. With Simeone, Atletico Madrid have a very good coach who has managed the club through hardest seasons since his appointment as a head coach there many years ago since December 2011.

Over 14 years, Simeone has marked his impacts on the club and with him, Atletico Madrid can manage to have a very solid position in top four of La Liga while in some seasons they even did better by winning two La Liga titles.

Kylian Mbappe has been consistent in scoring goals for Real Madrid; the two goals he scored against Levante tonight makes it 9 goals he has scored this season in 7 games; he's indeed a genius. Real Madrid was a better team against Levante but i was having some mixed feelings when Levante scored one goal, i was just very scared that the match should not later end in a draw because it would have endangered their position at the top of the table since Barcelona has more goals difference which means they would have likely topped the table if they win Real Oviedo on Thursday but thanks to Kylian Mbappe's brace than weakened the strength of Levante as they finished the match with a 1:4 result in favor of Real Madrid. Mbappe might also win this years' la Liga top goal scorer because merely looking at how he has been scoring goals back-to-back, there's no doubt that if remains fit he will continue netting the ball.

Yes, after about a year, Kylian Mbappe has finally hit his stride. i didn't think it would take this long, but that's okay. The important thing is to get to the end, regardless of how long it takes.
So good for Real Madrid. i placed another bet with Real Madrid obviously winning

Mbappe was good last season. He became top scorer and scored a lot of goals. The problem was with the team and the manager. With Xabi Alonso, the team got better, and Mbappe was making better passes and getting results. Although Mbappe was top scorer last season, it seemed like he was a failure because Real Madrid was failing. Mbappe's current game plan is such that he can score almost every match. As long as he passes well, finishing is very easy for Mbappe.

Real Madrid have played 6 matches in La Liga so far and they have won all the matches and are currently at the top of the points table. If we talk about Mbappe, I will say that Mbappe is a great player and his finishing skills are great and Xabi Alonso is using this opportunity again and again. Xabi Alonso is playing Mbappe in every match in a position from which it will be easy for him to finish, as a result of which it is seen that Mbappe is getting goals in every match this season. However, I think Mbappe needs to be more focused on assisting. If he always scores goals with the help of others and if he does not assist others, then Mbappe and other Real Madrid players will start a personal conflict and this personal conflict will definitely not be good for the club.

[Gallar]

The losing time for Atletico Madrid is over, coming back on track after starting with poor results in the already concluded six games in their league competition. After six games they have managed to win 2 draw three and lost 1 but now I think they are back on the winning lane. Now the league is getting interesting with all teams fighting relentlessly and with all effort to get  to their rightful places without looking back and with the way the league is going I strongly believe atletico Madrid will make it to the top four position at the end of the season, not only that  but will also go home with some trophies at the end of the season.

I think it's too early to say that, because Atletico Madrid's performance is still unbalanced and not very strong. Although it's true that in last night's match, Atletico Madrid managed to beat Rayo and get all three points. But if we look at that match, I think Atletico Madrid needs to improve their performance. Even in last night's match, they conceded two goals against a team of Rayo's stature, and I think this really needs to be evaluated immediately. Because if it continues like this, I'm very confident that if Atletico Madrid were to face a team stronger than Rayo, they could lose or even draw. Essentially, their defense is still weak at the moment. So that's why I'm saying this.

But even so, I think we deserve to give Atletico Madrid credit for their victory last night. Furthermore, I was quite impressed with Julian Alvarez's performance last night, as he managed to score three goals against Rayo. So, in this match, I think he deserves to be named best player, as his sharpness as a striker has really improved. Therefore, Alvarez just needs to maintain his consistent performance and improve further. Because his opponents in the coming weeks will certainly be much stronger than Rayo.

Its a surprise that they ended up winning after rayo dominated game for a while...I hope they can perform this way against real Madrid because athletico is really going through lots of ups and downs this season...I checked their position on the board and it wasn't really like the same team we used to know..I hope they bounce back and  make up for their lapses soon...if they really hope to defeat real Madrid they need to do better

It was a truly dramatic victory, and Atletico Madrid deserved to win this match. Although they struggled at first, they eventually turned things around and secured all three points. However, in their next match against Real Madrid, I'm not sure Atletico Madrid can beat them with their current form, but they can try to avoid defeat or at least get a draw, so they can still be considered a strong team in La Liga, competing at the top.

With Real Madrid strength this season, they will likely be working hard to close the gap on Barcelona, ​​so I think Real Madrid will try to exploit Atletico Madrid weaknesses this season to secure all three points.

[ajanwalker]

Atletico, struggling to hold on to the league and starting the Champions League with a defeat to Liverpool, nearly faced an even bigger crisis yesterday. After trailing 1-2, Atletico scored two more goals from Julien Alvarez, securing a 3-2 victory despite the tension.
Alvarez scored a hat trick in that match.

They face Real Madrid this weekend. Had they lost, it would have been a tough match against Real Madrid.

Now the players have regained their morale, and I believe they will be even more motivated to face Real Madrid.

If he always scores goals with the help of others and if he does not assist others, then Mbappe and other Real Madrid players will start a personal conflict and this personal conflict will definitely not be good for the club.

Mbappe is scoring goals in almost every match and has scored Laliga 7 goals in 6 matches it's a great start for a team. He had scored 2 goal against Mallorca but goal had been disallowed for offside. Otherwise, his goal tally would have been higher. The French forward has scored 2 goals in one match in the Champions League. His total number of goals since the start of the season is 9. His finishing skills have made him their best player. The last goal of the match against Levante was his extraordinary skill. The way he entered the penalty box and scored the goal was an impressive skill. Xabi Alonso is using him in a way that he is able to use his skills even better and is scoring goals in almost every match.

Personal conflicts between players are more harmful for the team, instead of helping other players score goals, they are trying their own ways and failing. Last season, Real Madrid had an attitude against some of their players that was criticized. I think Xabi is using the players in the team very well and as a result he is setting a record of winning consecutive matches.

[Zackz5000]

Mbappe continues his electrifying form of last season and he has continued with it which is what people really expect that players of his calibre is supposed to get better and better every new season. As for the part of Real Madrid being the favourite, yes they are buy at the same time they have to be very careful because Atletico is a big threat especially when they are up against Real Madrid reason being that, it's a derby match and games like this is usually not easy not matter how I'm form or out of foam any of them is at that point in time.

Atletico is not enough to be an actual threat, we have the likes of Barcelona who is also aiming at the title,Atletico is fairly trying and that is true but not enough to seeing them as a threat to Madrid that ha sa very prolific team with very vibrant talented young players who are determined to prove their worth especially this season. Atletico may on pose a firm resistance but I still do not see them like an actual threat even as a derby, Madrid will still remain favourite.

Real Madrid performance has increased drastically unlike last season they have been performing well in every game they have played they still win games even when playing with 10 men.
Atletico Madrid is one team that challenges Real Madrid and Barcelona for the laliga tittle they are one of the strongest team in the Spanish laliga i can't say they can't win Real Madrid or Barcelona they can as this is football but what am not sure about is for them winning the laliga tittle, the two favorite teams to win the tittle is Real Madrid and Barcelona but am ranking Real Madrid as the most favorite team to win the Spanish laliga tittle this season.

[Deegodstime]

The game between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the coming days is an unpredictable game. Judging from statistics, Real Madrid is considered favorite to win because they are way far from Atletico Madrid's league in all starting from point secured and other useful criteria used to ascertain superiority in football both teams can not be compared this season but both teams considered themselves enemies in football making their games difficult to predict at all times.

Atletico Madrid suffered a difficult start this season in their first four games but are now coming back to winning part by winning their game yesterday against Rayo while real Madrid have maintained consistency in all there games, that means it will be considered easy for Real Madrid to win the game at last

Real Madrid team is in an insane form this season and they don't seem to stop any moment soon. They don't just win, they try to score more goals and that's why there's hope on them seeing the league. Athletical Madrid has always been a thorn in the flesh to Real Madrid and Barcelona since time immemorial but I doubt it they can beat real Madrid this time. They could share the points at the extreme but not beating Madrid. Real Madrid is yet to loose a point since the season started and I wouldn't want to watch that happening this early. It's even good that they're meeting Athletical Madrid this period when they are still fully in form. Mbappe is becoming unstoppable and very devastating. I could predict he would have a goal against ATM and probably give his side a lead. Real Madrid is still my favourite team to win la liga this season but how they play against Athletical Madrid on Saturday would go a long way to prove their readiness for the season.

[Jostern]

Atletico Madrid didn't start this season well. They were losing against Rayo, but they managed to turn the game around. Julian Alvarez shone like a real star. They have Real Madrid derby coming up in three days, they boosted their morale before that game. I don't think they have much chance of challenging for the top two this season but they won't want to give up too early either.
Diego Simeone has been managing this team for years, perhaps it's truly time for a change. This topic has been seriously discussed in recent months. This could really be his last season.

Athletico Madrid I must say have not been good enough this season that have had a bad results and they have been struggling to get results this season, They were fortunate to win against Rayo Vallecano, and Rayo was just up and ready for the game with a good performance, But Athletico Madrid had to buckle up themselves and try to win the game, but I must say it was a very exciting game of football the both teams was just up for the task but after a good performance Rayo lost the game, and thanks to Alvarez who scored a hatrick and won Man of the Match with a good performance Rayo lost.

However the game against Real Madrid this weekend is going to be a very strong game and a derby game, But I wouldn’t be surprised if Real Madrid win the game, because Real Madrid are a team in form right now and they have won all their games this season, Xavi Alonso is doing a very good job right now, Athletico Madrid are starting to pick up form right now, so it will be a very interesting game to watch, derby always comes with a lot of surprises.

[SATWAT]

I also noticed this match for several reasons, and most of Atletico’s failures happened in away games, while at home they play well, and I think they should win today. By the way, in this round there hasn’t been a single home victory yet, which looks very strange for La Liga, so I think Atletico should change that today.

Atletico are used to having Simeone as their coach, they became champions with him and do fairly well in the Champions League, but their results can hardly be called very good, and Atletico can't compete with Real and Barcelona. If they want to, they need to change something, but if they are fine with the current situation, then Simeone will remain their coach for a long time, it all depends on the ambitions of the management.

That is normal for a team to be good at their home games, with the help of the fans you end up being more motivated and you want to win more, and even the smallest stuff, like running for a ball could have a big difference on a 50-50 position where you may not even run if you are at away game. That "giving your all" feels more applied at home games and that is why they are doing better at home games and not so much at away games.

However, they can't just win at home and lose at away and assume they can finish the league at a good place, they need to do better at away games as well if they really want to win anything, otherwise it is not going to be good. Right now they are not on track for third place, which they need at bare minimum

It's long past time for change, but the victory in this match only postponed it.
If this match had been a loss, Simeone could have resigned.
Now, there's a Real Madrid match this weekend, and Real Madrid will enter the Metropolitano Stadium unbeaten. If Atletico Madrid can start the match with a goal, Real Madrid could suffer their first defeat this season. Real Madrid isn't playing their best football, but Simeone will start the match with a fearsome spirit and force a draw.
At least I see the Real Madrid match as a low-scoring match.

[Phoenix Anka]

Julian Alvarez scored three goals to secure the victory for his team. He also scored a hat-trick to boost morale after a lackluster start to the Spanish league. These three points were invaluable for Atletico Madrid, as they had a rather poor start to the season. Had they drawn against Rayo, even their Champions League bid would have been in jeopardy. They are very fortunate to have secured all three points with Alvarez.

[Ahli38]

Atletico Madrid's recent performance has been very poor compared to their performance last season. If Atletico Madrid doesn't immediately improve their performance so they could potentially lead to relegation or even damage Diego Simeone's reputation as their coach. The Spanish media is even speculating that Simeone could be replaced by Fernando Torres if Simeone is still unable to deliver good results for Atletico Madrid (Source). However I personally prefer to see Diego Simeone remain as their coach, where he has contributed greatly and even won several awards for the team along with his loyalty to Atletico Madrid. So I also hope that he will immediately make some excellent changes for their future performance including to their players. And I also hope that they can recover soon. At least they can keep their team out of the relegation zone.
I'm sure Diego Simone will show a change in the near future. And it will be in the next match against Rayo Vallecano, where they will start tp prove themselves as a team that cannot be underestimated and even as a team that often surprises when playing against various giant teams in europe.

I'm not sure we should discuss Atletico's relegation from the league, because it seems impossible even in theory. They've had a poor start to the season, but I'm sure they can turn things around, and the match against Rayo is a good opportunity to beat them on their home field. Regarding the coaching change, I'm probably not against it, because Atletico may need new ideas, a new approach. I understand that Semione is a good coach and the management trusts him, but who knows, maybe they'll become stronger with a new coach...

What I mean is that Atletico Madrid could end up in the relegation zone if they don't immediately improve their performance. So I'm only referring to that zone. And not to the possibility of Atletico Madrid being relegated. I might be mistaken in the explanation.
Well I also agree that Atletico should get a new coach as for their new improvements. And Fernando Torres might be a good candidate to replace him based on his good impression with the youth team. However it seems that Atletico Madrid still needs Diego Simeone or at least even until the end of his contract. Because I have not found any news that confirms or even clarifies the issue of his dismissal. So I think Diego Simeone will stay at Atletico Madrid as they are still focused on various competitions.

Atlético Madrid defeated Rayo Vallecano 3-2 at home.
Once again, they came very close to dropping points, as they fell behind 2-1 during the match but managed to turn it around. They’ve been poor this season, but it’s still early in the league and they could improve.
This was Atlético Madrid’s 2nd win in 6 league matches.
Julián Álvarez scored the goals that secured the victory tonight, completing a hat-trick.

This match was full of drama, where the both teams giving their best performance. Atletico Madrid took the lead through a goal created by Alvarez. Then Rayo made a comeback and even took the lead with a score of 1-2, where it was disallowed previously by the referee for suspected offside before the decision to award a goal through VAR review. However Atletico Madrid ultimately defeated Rayo Vallecano with two goals scored by Julian Alvarez in the second half. Alvarez was truly the hero of this match with his hat trick. And I personally think that it was purely down to his individual performance even though we can see that there were several assists in the goals scored by Alvarez. But I believe that this was all thanks to his sharp instincts as one of Atletico Madrid's strikers. However Atletico Madrid still has a long way to go. They need to be consistent to turn things around. As for Simeone this could be a good start to regain his credibility at Atletico Madrid and even repair his declining reputation.

These three points were invaluable for Atletico Madrid, as they had a rather poor start to the season. Had they drawn against Rayo, even their Champions League bid would have been in jeopardy.

Rayo Vallecano showed they're a strong team, but we also saw their defense was weak. If they hadn't, they would have been able to hold on for the remaining 10 minutes, or at least avoid losing. But I'm glad Alvarez was able to score two more goals and help Atletico beat them, because I bet on Atletico to win in the second half when the score was 1-1. I thought Atletico would win easily, but when they conceded the second goal, I thought I'd lose.

[kriminall]

Atlético Madrid's victory yesterday gave them a breather. Rayo held on well and fought hard, but couldn't avoid defeat. Atlético Madrid were the more dominant team throughout the match and desperate for victory. Playing at home, they had the added bonus of home support. This gave Atlético their second La Liga victory.

[paco92x]

A wonderful match between Atlético and Rayo — full of chances and beautiful goals, including a hat-trick from Julián Álvarez. A real treat to watch! The defenses were helpless in this game, with chances just coming one after another. I honestly don’t know which goal I liked more — Álvarez’s or Pep Chavarría’s. If you can find it somewhere, the highlights of this match are definitely worth watching.

[Xcode7]

Athletico Madrid I must say have not been good enough this season that have had a bad results and they have been struggling to get results this season, They were fortunate to win against Rayo Vallecano, and Rayo was just up and ready for the game with a good performance, But Athletico Madrid had to buckle up themselves and try to win the game, but I must say it was a very exciting game of football the both teams was just up for the task but after a good performance Rayo lost the game, and thanks to Alvarez who scored a hatrick and won Man of the Match with a good performance Rayo lost.

However the game against Real Madrid this weekend is going to be a very strong game and a derby game, But I wouldn’t be surprised if Real Madrid win the game, because Real Madrid are a team in form right now and they have won all their games this season, Xavi Alonso is doing a very good job right now, Athletico Madrid are starting to pick up form right now, so it will be a very interesting game to watch, derby always comes with a lot of surprises.

A single win isn't enough to guide us. We have to look at the overall picture. Athletico Madrid have been quite poor this season. They haven't managed to improve on their performance from last season. The management doesn't seem to have brought in many players to support them this season. So, what's happening now isn't that surprising. They don't seem serious about making a comeback, or perhaps their financial strength and overall form have only reached that point.

The Madrid derby is always a fierce contest, but we also have to be realistic about the strengths of both teams this season. Based on what's been seen so far, I think Athletico Madrid's chances of getting a point in the derby are very slim.

[Abbatty]

A wonderful match between Atlético and Rayo — full of chances and beautiful goals, including a hat-trick from Julián Álvarez. A real treat to watch! The defenses were helpless in this game, with chances just coming one after another. I honestly don’t know which goal I liked more — Álvarez’s or Pep Chavarría’s. If you can find it somewhere, the highlights of this match are definitely worth watching.

What a game mate, so far it the game of the season, I really enjoyed this match and what made it more fun for was that I gambled on Atletico Madrid to win so I was in total tension till the final whistle of the game. The game had everything, the chances, big miss, intensity, drama, and so much more. It the second win of Altetico Madrid so far this season and I bet you they had to fight so hard to get this win.

Julian Alvarez was the star player of the match scoring all 3 of Atletico Madrid goals, after missing a penalty last week the decided to take this match personal and he did absolutely well.

Another department Diego Simone need to take his time and sort is the defense, they are really poor defensively since the beginning of season, if they can sort the defense then they will start winning games with ease.

[Egii Nna]

But I'm glad Alvarez was able to score two more goals and help Atletico beat them, because I bet on Atletico to win in the second half when the score was 1-1. I thought Atletico would win easily, but when they conceded the second goal, I thought I'd lose.

Atletico showed them the last-minute finishing, and holding them for that 10 minutes was hard for Vallecano. No doubt, Vallecano played the best they could in the game, but they have to accept the fact that Atletico Madrid are stronger than them. Although they even had a few challenges in defense, it was a tough game for Vallecano. But they actually tried their best. No one was expecting such a good performance from them yesterday, but they did. They really performed well, but the victory is for Atletico Madrid.
