La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[irhact]

Last night, Atletico Madrid surprised us all amidst their underwhelming performance. Because last night, Atletico Madrid defeated the league leaders, Real Madrid, with a fantastic score of 5-2. In that match, Real Madrid actually dominated the match, as they held much of the ball. But the Atletico Madrid players were amazing, they utilized counter-attacks very well and accurately. Because of that, Atletico Madrid was able to turn things around and ultimately win this match.

I wasn't that surprised with the outcome of this game because even though Real Madrid had played well this season to be leading the table, they haven't belike they can win every team this season. The game wasn't Real Madrid own to win because apart from the possession, they didn't dominate any other parts of the game. Atletico Madrid were the ones that took the game serious. They really wanted to win and took all their important chances to win the game. Güler and Mbappe were the only players from the Real Madrid team that I can say tried their best because they both got a goal yesterday. Alvarez came close to getting another hat trick again and had an incredible performance.

Atletico Madrid players didn't look like they were fighting to lose this match. Their style of play made it seem like they were destined to win. They saw the match against Real Madrid as an opportunity. Their poor performances in previous matches of the tournament against relatively small opponents did not reflect that at all in this match. Atletico played so dominantly that they probably forgot that they were playing against one of the best teams of the season. Real Madrid defeat marked their first defeat. Alonso will learn a lot from the team error and will continue to improve.

I personally underestimated Atletico Madrid in that match. I believed before the match started that Real Madrid would win. But the reality was beyond my expectations. Even the scoreline was very surprising. A 5-2 scoreline didn't look like Atletico Madrid facing one of the strongest teams in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid truly looked like a team that had already identified the weaknesses in Real Madrid's defense. And I'm sure Real Madrid are starting to experience a decline in defense again after Trent's injury. Yes, Alonso has a lot to learn from this result.

I can't even remember the last time Real Madrid conceded so many goals in a single match. Someone wrote yesterday that Real Madrid hadn't faced any strong teams this season and that the match against Atletico would be a test for them, and I can say that it looks like they failed that test. It was a good match for Atletico, but after a match like that, one wonders why they haven't played as well as yesterday before, dropping points against Mallorca, Alaves, and Elche.

An experienced coach is needed when facing matches like this, Simeone clearly showed his experience here, he prepared a tactic that prevented Real Madrid from showing his true abilities. Here Xabi's shortcomings were visible, but of course, with time, Xabi will understand what to do when facing a derby match. Congratulations to Atletico on today's big win, they deserved it.

Atletico Madrid deserved the win as they have not started the season well and they need a big win. As Real Madrid continued to win, Xabi may not have realised the kind of strategy that the experienced Simeone had in store for them. Simeone had every weapon ready to win as the kind of preparation required before the match began. Julián Alvarez who is in excellent form played well against Real Madrid after an impressive performance against Rayo Vallecano. Xabi preparation for the derby may have been right but Simeone is a more experienced manager and the match is being played at Atletico home ground giving the players an added psychological advantage.

Watching the way Atletico was beating Real Madrid I felt a bit nervous about the whole thing because ATM has not been at their best this season how come they saw Real Madrid and became very good today they were ready for the game they dominated Real Madrid especially in the second half and they took the advantage they had to score 3 goals in the second half to defeat them 5:2 to end the unbeaten that Real Madrid has been playing, it's left for Real Madrid to bounce back and correct the mistake that made them lose today.

Even though I didn't know that this very game will turn out the way it did, I just knew that fixtures like these has a way of turning around and favouring the under dogs. Yes, in that encounter Atletico Madrid was the underdog because both the bookies and and many punters all saw Real Madrid as the favourites and coupled with the fact that Atletico Madrid has not been in form so far this season.

[Akbarkoe]

This Madrid derby was truly exciting, and the first half ended in a draw, which was very enjoyable to watch. Their back-and-forth attacks really kept us on the edge of our seats, and this is the kind of match I look forward to enjoying. The match was not flat; it was full of passion, with both teams fighting each other with equal strength.

Real Madrid remains the favorite in this match, and the second half is highly anticipated. We hope Real Madrid wins the match, even if it ends with a narrow goal difference. Atletico Madrid has been waiting for this moment for a long time to show its teeth to the visitors coming to its home ground.

Shocking the game is now 5:2 in favor of Atletico Madrid and leaving Madrid likely to dropping from top of their league table, this results coming out from various league this weekend are quite shocking this weekend, and now in the La Liga, Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid game isn't left out as we continue to witnessing this suprising results this very weekend. A very interesting game and incredible performance by Atletico Madrid.

It’s not surprising to me at all, I expected this result. Madrid has been cruising cause they haven’t faced any tough opponents yet for us to see how well they’ve improved. I said in a previous post that the development progress of Madrid under Xabi Alonso will be tested by how they perform when they face either of Barcelona or Atletico, and now facing Atletico and they just fall like a deck of cards, how will they fair against Barcelona.

Yeah some results around the world might not have gone according to plan (the usual Victor) especially in the English Premier League where the big boys lost.

This is very unexpected and makes me very upset, Real Madrid can lose to Sangt Telak, even to 5-0, it makes me ashamed of my friends, even on my social media marked in their posts made by Madrid's disappointing defeat for their fans.

Xabi Alonso needs to conduct a whole evaluation, especially in the second half which makes them very difficult to get the opportunity.

It was a good match for Atletico, but after a match like that, one wonders why they haven't played as well as yesterday before, dropping points against Mallorca, Alaves, and Elche.

Can't predictable how easily Real Madrid conceded 5 goals in single match, poorly performance of defense players after Atletico madrid player easily scoring five goals. Overall all defense Madrid's players last night perform badly can't defend for Julian Alvarez scoring goals, I watches the match fully last night and seems optimistic for Madrid will secure three points after success leading 1-2 indeed have conceded early.
But poorly performance of defense players and how easily for Atletico Madrid scoring goal by goal make Madrid getting the first loss in this season after success winning six consecutives matches.
Unbelievable with Atletico Madrid's performance last night, after losing points in last several games before but success returning back to winning performance by defeating the top standings La Liga team awhile Real Madrid.

When it comes to derbies, there's prestige at stake, as evident in the faces of the Atletico Madrid players and their fans in the stadium. Furthermore, Simeone has extensive experience facing Madrid, so his preparations have the potential to be successful. Even though they're not in great form and aren't the main favorites in this derby, Simeone approach has proven successful. On the other hand, this is Xabi first time facing Atletico in La Liga, so he lacks experience in implementing the best tactics to defeat them. However, I'm confident that Xabi will learn a lot from this disappointing result and seek revenge in the next meeting.

As I said in my previous comment, there is usually added tension in this Madrid derby that can lead to surprises, as ultimately happened. Madrid's defeat has been a blow that is beginning to plant doubts in the minds of Madrid fans. This afternoon, Barcelona can take the lead if they beat Real Sociedad, which could begin to awaken the ghosts of last season, when Madrid were leaders at the start and ended up losing. It could be a psychological blow.

[bastisisca]

This match was actually quite surprising, seeing Atletico Madrid score five goals against Real Madrid, even though we know Atletico Madrid's performance since the start of the season has been less than satisfactory. However, against Real Madrid, they were more motivated to perform better.
This victory certainly left Real Madrid feeling humiliated. Usually, they are the ones who slaughter their opponents, but now, Real Madrid's defense seemed weakened and Atletico Madrid had already read them.

Arda Guler and Mbappé tried their best, but their goals weren't enough to secure victory.

I was also surprised by Bilbao, who made me lose the bet with their draw. Damn, they had only missed five games. How did they manage to draw against a much weaker team? Just to spite me.

In any case, football is beautiful for this reason, there's always a surprise around the corner.

[yenerbatmaz]

Sevilla didn't disappoint me again, thankfully. I'll bet on Sevilla winning in every away game from now on.
I placed a bet today, betting on Sevilla to win, and they secured a 0-1 victory with a goal in the 87th minute.
They've won three of their four away games this year. Next week they face Barcelona, ​​but since they'll be playing at home, they'll likely lose to Barcelona. If the game were away, Sevilla would have a good win rate. Sevilla could be considered for away games.

Before the match, I knew  Real Madrid won't have an easy time against Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid is always a difficult team to face, and playing them in their own stadium makes it even more difficult.
Their home fans brings a lot of energy, and we know derby games always come with extra pressure and some kind of emotions.

What really shocked me the most was the number of goals in the match. I was expecting something tight, maybe a draw or a narrow win for Real Madrid at most because, going into the game, they were obviously the favorite for the win. But the final score was completely different from what I imagined.

[Marykeller]

Furthermore, with Atletico Madrid's victory in this match, they are currently in fourth place with 12 points. So, this truly indicates that Atletico Madrid will once again compete for the top spot in the La Liga standings. Real Madrid is currently on the verge of being displaced. Because currently, the team in second place, Barcelona, ​​is only two points behind Real Madrid. So, if Barcelona can beat Sociedad tonight, they'll certainly return to the top of the La Liga standings. So, we'll have to wait and see if Barcelona can win or not tonight.

Compete for the top spot of the LaLiga standings as usual, not for them to lift it. The LaLiga trophy will fall into the hands of the team(Barcelona or Real Madrid) we all know that always stays ahead in the league standings, even if they have a humiliating result in some of their league matches.

On top of that, what I know is that Atletico Madrid wouldn't top Real Madrid in LaLiga standings. They will remain below them till the end of the season, while Barcelona and Real Madrid fight for the 2025/2026 LaLiga trophy

Are you really surprised with that outcome yesterday? Despite that I didn't expect that much humiliation, I wasn't too surprised because Athletico Madrid always turn prime against Real Madrid. Well, I quite agree that Madrid haven't had a test yet this season until yesterday and unfortunately they failed the test. Let be realistic here, Madrid defense is nothing to write home about and this might just be the beginning of failure if things continue this way. As for Athletico Madrid, they can do better if they continue to play with the type of seriousness they use to play against Real madrid all the time.

[ajanwalker]

I don't understand why, when Arda Güler scores, they run to the assister and not the scorer.
This happened yesterday, and similar scenes have occurred in previous matches.
He scored yesterday. Only Valverde ran to Arda's position. The other two ran to Vinicius.
If Arda is injured or in poor form, he won't be able to stay at Real Madrid.

The first reason is that Atletico Madrid were not in good form. They did not play well in the previous matches of La liga. We saw the weakness of Atletico madrid's attack.

Also, Real madrid won the first 6 matches. So naturally we considered Real Madrid as the favorite. Also , Real madrid's past record against Atletico Madrid was also very good.

But even then, Real madrid lost the match. The most shameful thing is that Real Madrid lost the match 5 - 2. It was  unimaginable that we would see the giant team of La liga defeated by such a big margin.

I just noticed that Atletico's performance was different from previous matches. When facing Madrid, for some reason, they could play well with full competitiveness. Not always, but they really can turn every opportunity into pressure on Madrid's defense. This time, they were superior, and it indeed became an exciting match with many goals. But for sure, the result becomes a task for Xabi to solve problems in several areas.

You're not wrong, the title is definitely between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Athletico Madrid are just lucky to win this fixture and they had the home advantage that why things ended in their favor but they are not in good shape to win the title at all.

We are all surprised with this result, no one expected a score line as many as this. 5 goals is definitely too much to concede but I think it's a good thing that this happened early, it will be a wake up call for them to understand that their defense and Midfield is not strong enough. Imagine conceding as many goals against a defensive minded team then how many will they concede when they face the league's best attacking team Barcelona.

Huijsen is still very inexperienced to be the leading defender for Real Madrid, I don't blame him much but the team needs to get a more experienced defender to pair with him. Experience is what affected them in the match, Madrid is not a team that settles for young players I don't know why they now what to work with younger players.

Yesterday was an absolute nightmare for a lot of bettors, it was really unexpected. This is the reason why it's not smart to underestimate any team, even the favorites can end up losing at anytime. Losing to atl Madrid made them lose points and now they are only two points ahead of barcelona, this means if Barcelona can win today's game and score multiple goals they are going to take real Madrid's position

[Velvet78]

I was also surprised by Bilbao, who made me lose the bet with their draw. Damn, they had only missed five games. How did they manage to draw against a much weaker team? Just to spite me.

In any case, football is beautiful for this reason, there's always a surprise around the corner.

A much weaker team? Villarreal? Man, they were even the favourites of the game and won it by 1-0. I don't see anything surprising in that. 

Besides they started the season better. If you look at Athletic Bilbao's recent results, you can see it clearer. They got 1 draw and 3 losses in their last 4 league games. They lost in their first Champions League game too.

Just a horrible form it is...
