La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[silpersurfer]

What a game we just saw yesterday between Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid was again a complete disaster but an angel saved them and that angel it was Julian Alvarez what a game he did a hattrick with a few super goals, the last one was from another game, i can feel how much relief now Simeone has.

Simeone finally found some solace in this victory. Atletico Madrid have started the La Liga season badly. They are fifth in the table after winning three of their six matches, drawing one and losing two. Julian Alvarez has been brilliant with Rayo. He has emerged as the team's saviour. They needed a win in this match to break out of a cycle of poor performances.

Two wins, three draws, and one loss—these results are far from satisfactory for Diego Simeone and his squad, especially considering that their previous opponents were not particularly strong teams. Atletico Madrid, who usually consistently compete at the top to challenge the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona, now find themselves struggling at the start of the season. In their next match, they will face Real Madrid in a derby. Although Atlético Madrid will be the home team in this match, I am quite pessimistic that they will be able to match the performance of XA's team. However, there is still hope that this match will be a close contest, even though Atlético Madrid's recent performances have been questionable.

Well, I don't think anyone ever thought once that Mbappe was a bad or useless purchase, but it's simply that he had to find his place within the team, he's certainly young and is fitting in, in fact he seems to have really integrated,Now he just has to prove how many goals he can score

Let's be honest to ourselves. Kylian Mbappe didn't blend into the playing style of Real Madrid immediately he arrived the club. Though he scored in his first game which was in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup game against Italian club Atalanta but after soon after, he began to struggle at the start of last season which made many begin to question his quality, while others said he's very unlikely to repeat the scoring records he had with his former club PSG. But it was later that he started scoring many goals.
This season, Kylian Mbappe has started well and have been very prolific which I expect him to continue till the end of the season. I hope he ends this season with major trophies like the Spanish La Liga and the UEFA Champions League title.

Barcelona don't have big problems with attacks since the last season when their young players grew up quickly and performed very impressively. Barcelona have main issues in defense and they even drop points in matches their attacking players managed to score many goals. With Barcelona, if their goalkeeper and defenders can defend well, they will have very high chance of winning matches as it is hard to find matches when Barcelona fail to score a single goal.

Real Madrid with Xabi Alonso at the moment are still not perfect and they still need to sharpen their attacking system as well as enhancing their defense ability. Playing with small clubs is easy for Real Madrid and they don't have problems with those opponents but to win La Liga title against very strong Barcelona and to take Champions League trophy against many strong opponents around Europe, Real Madrid must have strong defense and it's very challenging task for Xabi Alonso in this season.

Barcelona is incredibly strong in attack; they've scored a ton of goals, perhaps the best attack of any European team. i don't think they have any problems there. However, they've also conceded a lot of goals. The real problem is their defense or midfield, which can't filter through the opposition's attackers. i honestly don't know where the problem lies.

They needed a win in this match to break out of a cycle of poor performances.

Alvarez finally proved he deserved to play the full match. In previous matches he had been subbed off in the second half, rarely playing the full match. But in the match against Rayo Vallecano, he proved he was worthy of the coach's consideration. In that match Alvarez was on fire. He had previously missed a penalty against Mallorca which cost them the win. But in this match he made up for it with three goals giving Atletico Madrid three points.

This victory was certainly more than just consolation for Simeone but it was more than that. It was a crucial victory as they would face a strong team in the Madrid derby in the next match. A win against Rayo would not only add three points to the table but also serve as valuable capital and pose a threat to Real Madrid. Derby matches are always intense, and gaining the advantage against Rayo would boost the team's overall confidence.

Real Oviedo - Barcelona...

It is a very easy game for Hansi Flick's students on paper. However Real Oviedo haven't conceded too many goals at home. They have conceded most of their goals away.

But as a reminder, they faced Real Madrid home already and lost by 0-3.    I expect Barcelona to do a similar work against them. -1.5 handicap on Barcelona @1.66 seems really nice.

The Catalan giants face newly promoted Real Oviedo. The last time Barcelona played them was in 2001, when Barca lost 1-0. So matches against Real Oviedo have never been easy, but positive side is Barcelona have made an unbeaten start to the new campaign. It's better to forget the past, Barcelona should win tonight by three or four goals.

Even though history is sometimes bound to repeat itself sometimes today isn't going to be one of those days. Barcelona has a lot that they are looking forward to achieve. Real madrid is 5 points ahead of them on the board, they would want to use this opportunity to get as much points as they can to at least catch up, so it's going to be a straight win for Barcelona just as you said winning with nothing less than two goals

Only two matches remain this week. The teams that have competed have performed well, especially Real Madrid. Only Bilbao suffered a surprise, having to share points with Girona, which shouldn't have happened. Oh yes, Atletico Madrid finally won the match after experiencing many draws.
Now let's discuss the final match of the week, Real Oviedo vs Barcelona. The result is easy to predict because Oviedo is a weak team, so Barcelona will easily overcome them even though they are playing away. However because the odds for Barcelona are unfavorable at only 1.22, the most profitable option is the handicap. What do you think? Can Barcelona get at least a 2-goal difference?

Barcelona will definitely win. Rio Oviedo has won only one of their last 5 matches. They are currently in 18th position. Meanwhile, Barcelona has won all of them. They have drawn only one. I think that with Hansi Flick's tactics and the combination attack of Lewandoski, Raphinha, Rushford, Barcelona will easily win 3-1.

Sometimes Barcelona can misbehave with some weak cluds other strong club use to beat to boost their points. It will surprise you this game will end up in a draw  game 1:1, because Real Oviedo will not like to lose again in this game with Barcelona base on some games they have lose and draw some.

Nothing will make me not to predict for draw in this game, because Real Oviedo have the strength to play Barcelona players not to have those opportunity to secure goals  to win the game.

Real Madrid manager, Xabi Alonso is confident about his attacker. High level player like Mbappe is equipped with more responsibilities and have become an essential player for the club. He's optimistic for winning games, more center forwarding to winning trophies and also awards. Kylian Mbappe is currently the face of Real Madrid, just like Lamine Yamal is the face of Barcelona. The Frenchman have proven himself worthy and have accumulated more points for the club by banging goals. Mbappe is developed and have been quite a significant part of the club. Mbappe doesn't need any distraction, he's always up and running for goals since he's best known for goalscoring.

Xabi Alonso as be the best manager for Real Madrid currently and all the players are in good shap and performing very great this season and I don't think any club can stop real madrid from losing point in the laliga is just Barcelona, but we can't predict because Real Madrid have really improved more then last season so anything can probably happen this time if they face each other. Mbappe as be real madrid favourite players this season and any matches they played he used to try is best and score goals even is one goal. Mbappe as get is form back and no player can stop him from scoring in the league competition and the Champions League too. There last game show like vini Jr is trying to get back to is best, because he really performed very great in the match and if Mbappe and vini Jr are in good form this season he will be difficult for any defender to stop them from scoring goals.

Barcelona will definitely win. Rio Oviedo has won only one of their last 5 matches. They are currently in 18th position. Meanwhile, Barcelona has won all of them. They have drawn only one. I think that with Hansi Flick's tactics and the combination attack of Lewandoski, Raphinha, Rushford, Barcelona will easily win 3-1.

With the performance and the key players Barcelona have nothing will stop them from achieving three point against Rio Oviedo this night. The club are just coming back from relegation and I don't think they still have that strength to challenge Barcelona in the pitch and Barcelona are playing at home so the match will be a easy win for hansi Flick tonight. Barcelona won't put much key players in the match they need to rest the way xabi Alonso is resting other players. You are predicting Barcelona to win 3-1 i don't even think if Rio Oviedo will get the opportunity to put one goal in the game they will be a clean sheet in the game probably if Barcelona didn't perform poor, because sometimes a club that you underestimate can shock you and achieve point from the big club. Real Madrid have won there last game and Barcelona won't try to lose another point. Let see how the game will end.

[Adbitco]

You are right, right from Mbappe's days in Monaca until PSG, the youngster has always proved himself to be outstanding. I already knew that it will take time before he will find his place in Real Madrid, and it has gradually began, he bangs goals week in week out, posing as a major threat to opposing defenders in almost every Madrid encounter. Vinicius jr is one man that was in that position, but he has drop form a little bit.

True, a D because of his outstanding display when he was at Monaco that's buy PSG paid a hefty fee for his services and he still didn't disappoint at PSG, won everything apart from the Champions League and now his at Real Madrid doing what he knows how to do best. Someone said that, every other players in La Liga should forget about the Pchi chi now that Mbappe is around.

[LGD2Business]

The league's new team Real Oviedo has no chance tonight. Real Oviedo has only scored one goal in the five league games they've played. They scored that goal against Real Sociedad and earned three points. They lost all their other games without even scoring a goal. They haven't been able to build a La Liga-level team. They will probably be relegated to the second division again.
Barcelona will win comfortably even if they field a reserve-heavy lineup for this match. After this game, Barca has three more important matches before the international break. That's why Flick will secure the score early and substitute players like Raphinha, Torres, Pedri and Olmo.

Oviedo vs Barcelona

Real Oviedo predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Aaron Escandell (GK), Lucas Ahijado, Dani Calvo, David Carmo, Rahim Alhassane, Kwasi Sibo, Leander Dendoncker, Haissem Hassan, Alberto Reina, Ilyas Chaira, Jose Salomon Rondon.

Barcelona predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Joan Garcia (GK), Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Gerard Martin, Marc Casado, Pedri, Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Marcus Rashford, Ferran Torres.

Marcus Rashford recent performance have secured him a slot in the first eleven, congratulation to him. At first they were having doubt on his capacity but unfortunately he proved them wrong. This was a nice move and I believe Barcelona will not regret having him in their squad. Tonight Barcelona will travel to Real Oviedo for their 6th game of the season which will be play at Estadio Carlos Tartiere. Lewandowski is on bench and I know Marcus Rashford is the reason for that and again his age is counting.

There will be a little smile on Simeone's face for this 3-2 win against Rayo Vallecano. Even though the victory wasn't that easy to come by, there is a big hurdle to jump as they face Real Madrid in two days.

I wonder what Simeone will be thinking of, the kinda of football strategy to implement to win Real Madrid, that haven't lost any match since the start of this season.

[Mehmet69]

No one may have had much to question about Mbappe's individual performance, but many still have room for complaint about his selfishness. No one will doubt that Kylian Mbappe is a great player. But his team achievements are not good at all, despite being a great player, he has not yet won the Champions League. It would be wrong to say that he did not get any good teammates, rather he did not achieve much even after getting teammates like Messi, Neymar and Di Maria. PSG won the Champions League title after he left PSG. In other words, individual performance will not allow you to achieve anything good, but you have to perform as a team for the needs of the team. Mbappe is a good player alone, but as a team I do not like him.

I agree with you. Mbappe's team performance is very bad. Mbappe is one of the fastest forwards with such speed that many defenders cannot catch him. Mbappe's own teammates are often behind him. But he is able to use his speed to score goals. In my opinion, a good player can adapt to all situations. But Mbappe only thinks about his personal performance. It is very difficult for him to play and help the team. He could not play a team game even with teammates like Messi and Neymar. In such a situation, I cannot accept him as a completely good player. It is painful for me to put in the list of the best players those who only play for themselves. He has scored a lot of goals in a very short time, but can you be the best player just by scoring goals? To be the best, you have to be the best in everything.

How is Mbappe team performance very bad? And you say Mbappe teammates are always behind him like he is playing along side Some slow as snail team mate.
Vini jr is also very fast so I don't get your point.
Before now Xabi Alonso had complained about the commitments of his super stars but starting this season I think they have really improved on that, at the moment Kylian Mbappe is really have an all round good game.

[GiftedMAN]

There will be a little smile on Simeone's face for this 3-2 win against Rayo Vallecano. Even though the victory wasn't that easy to come by, there is a big hurdle to jump as they face Real Madrid in two days.

Yeah he'll smile cause he's aware that if the team continues to perform poorly then his job could be threatened. They needed that win to boost the morale of the entire squad, I believe that this win would help restore their form and they'll get back on track and try to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I just hope that the bad luck that happened to Ancelotti during his last days at Real Madrid didn't follow him to the Brazil national team, their last performance was embarrassing, if more of such happen repeatedly they'll definitely sack him I didn't expect Brazil to lose that match even with all the stars in their squad.

Ancelotti is very good, but he has some big flaws that I don't understand. The fact that he didn't call up Ney seems unforgivable to me and I see it as a whim. In Bolivia they took their toll on him, and even more so at Madrid. Now with Xabi I see Better substitutions and a style more similar to what Madrid really is.

[Derekfunds]

The league's new team Real Oviedo has no chance tonight. Real Oviedo has only scored one goal in the five league games they've played. They scored that goal against Real Sociedad and earned three points. They lost all their other games without even scoring a goal. They haven't been able to build a La Liga-level team.

Apparently they don't have any hope of winning or drawing the game but football can be anyhow sometimes and I won't be surprised if they win Barcelona tonight but the thing here is that real Madrid is already topping Barcelona with 2 points and if Barcelona should lose this match it will now be a 5 points difference and that is the more reason why Barcelona would not want to lose the match. Barcelona don't even need to start with there full squad but Barcelona should be able secure this 3 points to close the point difference.

Real Oviedo - Barcelona...

It is a very easy game for Hansi Flick's students on paper. However Real Oviedo haven't conceded too many goals at home. They have conceded most of their goals away.

But as a reminder, they faced Real Madrid home already and lost by 0-3.    I expect Barcelona to do a similar work against them. -1.5 handicap on Barcelona @1.66 seems really nice.

The Catalan giants face newly promoted Real Oviedo. The last time Barcelona played them was in 2001, when Barca lost 1-0. So matches against Real Oviedo have never been easy, but positive side is Barcelona have made an unbeaten start to the new campaign. It's better to forget the past, Barcelona should win tonight by three or four goals.

After Real Madrid defeated Levante to maintain their unbeaten run and their lead in La Liga table this season, I think Barcelona will defeat Real Oviedo to mount pressure on Real Madrid in the League table. Barcelona team is way better than Real Oviedo team, and any one who's using the result between Real Oviedo and Barcelona in 2001 to say that Barcelona won't defeat Real Oviedo should know that Real Oviedo could have had a better team in 2001, and that's why they were able to defeat Barcelona back then, but such a result won't repeat this season because Real Oviedo isn't informed, and I don't see them giving Barcelona a tough time.

[Stormisover]

Real Madrid are playing really well, i have to say. 18 points is a lot, gentlemen. It's something you can't really assume an attack like that is truly prolific, I'd say finally. Mbappé was an excellent signing, and anyone who said otherwise has to think again.

Well, I don't think anyone ever thought once that Mbappe was a bad or useless purchase, but it's simply that he had to find his place within the team, he's certainly young and is fitting in, in fact he seems to have really integrated,Now he just has to prove how many goals he can score

Vinicius jr is one man that was in that position, but he has drop form a little bit.

Like I'm really amazed by Real Madrid performance the team is not actually in good form but one way or the other they still manage to keep the winning consistent, what if they gain their full form what maybe the faith of the other Spanish LA Liga teams, I have always said it that Real Madrid went trophyless last season and I'm very much sure they can't allow such thing to happen again this season, if we say they haven't faced any tough team I think that's a very big mistake because I'm not seeing them to give such room to Barcelona this season because it's only Barcelona that can give them tough time with the way things are going already , yes they will win ATM come this weekend I'm sure of that.

Diego Simeone probably still can't smile broadly just yet, as his squad is highly likely to drop points again when facing Real Madrid. We realize that the Madrid derby is always a tricky match for both teams, but based on performance, Xabi Alonso squad appears to be heavily favored to win. Acting as the host probably won't give Atletico much of an advantage, as Real Madrid is currently in its best form. At first glance, Atletico have really struggled for consistency this season, and their hopes of competing for trophies are low.

Atletico Madrid has been struggling to win their matches this season, which has made a lot of people wonder what is wrong with Atletico Madrid this season. I agree with you that the Atletico Madrid win over Rayo Vallecano will a put smile on Diego Someone's face because it will help to boost Atletico Madrid back to their winning ways and also eliminate the decision of Atletico Madrid management to sack Diego Simone this season.
