La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Lida93]

Snip.

I never forgot that ATM vs Real Madrid was a derby match what I wasn't expecting was the goals and how they were scored honestly I expected more from Real Madrid because this season they have been the better side when compared to ATM and their position in the league standings it's a good example to pick them to win ahead of ATM because during last season when they were struggling Barcelona defeated them back to back in their derby game so I was expecting them to do likewise to ATM but instead they were the one that was defeated with lots of goals.

Anyway, the defeat shouldn't be a setback for them in the race for the title, it should rather make them aware of their still existing weaknesses and being much ready when they would meet the most arc rival (Barcelona) in el classico. Aside the first goal on penalty and rest of the goals were highlights, it came in through in a too simple way for a club like Real Madrid.

It's very first months of Xabi Alonso in Real Madrid and he still needs to have more time for his management and tactical training for his players. So far in general, I think Xabi Alonso has done his management well in Madrid and 1 point difference with Barcelona is not too big. However, losing big in the Madrid derby is bad and he must improve his player mentality in big matches as in the last season, they lost in all direct matches with Barcelona, lost big.

I agree with you that Xabi Alonso is new to Madrid and needs more time. But Madrid is a team that fights to win every title, Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey. Last season Madrid could not win any title, even losing every El Clasico. And this season too if Alonso cannot bring stability to Madrid's performance quickly then Madrid will not be able to win any title this season either. Alonso is a talented coach. And he will have to bring stability to Madrid's squad very quickly if they want to win titles.

Injury was the cause of Madrid poor performance last season that made them unable to win any trophy. However, the players are very strong physically this season without any severe injury cases. Therefore, Madrid should be able to win at least one trophy if not, Alonso hasn't solved the problem why he was hired by Madrid management. He has enough time to build and improve the team performance.

Barcelona has great players and they always work well together. For example, Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski work well together even though Yamal is a young player and Lewandowski is a senior player. This is the greatness of Barcelona, which always has great players and all players can work well together. Of course, Rashford can also play well and adapt quickly even though he has just joined the team.

It's absolutely true that since Hansi Flick joined, Barcelona has improved even more, and Barcelona certainly made the right choice in appointing Hansi Flick as their new coach. Currently, Barcelona is not yet in a safe zone, so Flick must work to make the players even better. However, Barcelona has managed to reach the top of the standings again, which is a good start. The El Clasico match will undoubtedly be more exciting, as Real Madrid will certainly aim to win and overtake Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. Unfortunately, there is still some time before that match.  

Honestly, I don't think Real Madrid can beat Barcelona because, objectively, Barcelona is stronger now, and the match against Atletico showed that Real Madrid's defense still has many weaknesses. And before El Clasico, Real Madrid still has a match against Villarreal, who are currently the third team in La Liga with 16 points. I think that, despite this being a home game for Real Madrid, beating such an opponent will be a challenge. So, I think Barcelona's advantage can only increase in the coming rounds.

El Clásico always presents unpredictable matches, such predictions are too early for a big match watched by millions of fans around the world, it's okay to favor Barcelona for El Clásico, but Xabi Alonso will try the best strategy to face Barcelona. Considering Xabi Alonso has a long history with Real Madrid, many El Clásico matches that Xabi Alonso has played with Real Madrid as a player. The rivalry between players during Xabi Alonso's time as a Real Madrid midfielder, the tension of the match was higher than in recent years. Considering that Barcelona previously also slumped with the club's financial crisis. I think it won't be easy to beat Xabi Alonso who also contributed to the rivalry both as a player and as a coach. Victory for Real Madrid is a must, the pride of the players, the club, and the fans are at stake in El Clásico. As head coach, Xabi Alonso will provide a surprise in the match.

I don't agree with you that Barcelona is now stronger than Real Madrid simply because Real Madrid loss to Atletico Madrid. Apparently, this is Real Madrid first loss of the season after winning six matches consecutively. They may have loss to Atletico Madrid 5:2 in Vicente Calderón but it is not an enough reason to start  concluding that Barcelona is stronger. Atletico Madrid isn't a small team in the La Liga,they are also capable of defeating Barcelona in a full time game. Furthermore,I think Real Madrid with definitely defeat Villarreal with a large margin. Villarreal haven't played any big team as strong as Real Madrid since the beginning of the season, they're only spotted at the top of table with 16 points  because they have been meeting with smaller teams. If they can be able defeat Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu,then I will acknowledge them as a strong team. However, judging by the H2H between Real Madrid vs Villarreal,it's obvious that Real Madrid have won Villarreal far more times than what Villarreal have won them. Based on my analysis,I am confident that Real Madrid will defeat Villarreal.

I think the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid will be very exciting. You see the terrible result of Real Madrid's defense against Atletico Madrid. After a bad start in La Liga, Atletico scored 5 goals against Real Madrid. In the next match of La Liga, Real Madrid may win the next match against Villarreal and have a chance to increase their points but in my opinion, I don't want to see the same repeat of last season. Expect to see Real Madrid stronger.

Yes the coach of Real Madrid has only one thing to do that would make people see that he was the solution all this while, is the trophy, a trophy doesn't necessarily or compulsorily mean the champions League because we no that all season are not the same but in the league they naturally belong to doesn't have to be hard as the champions League for them, the last match they lost should have been in there champions League and not in there league so that the table that was flourishing for them could have continued. Real Madrid needs all the grooming they can get from Alonso because as time goes that's how a limited time is giving to him.

exactly I think that Real Madrid can take advantage of this difficult challenge to have a decent shortening of points, I also think that it is an opponent that even if it is third in the league behind them can be dominated by Real Madrid easily, of course, nothing is certain, but if they play well they can make a move and shorten the gap on Barcelona in view of the classic

It's clear that Real Madrid defense was in disarray when they were humiliated by Atletico, Xabi Alonso must immediately find a solution in the defensive area. I don't understand what Real Madrid defenders were doing in such an important match, they made so many mistakes that they conceded 5 goals in that game.

Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso still looked confused when facing big teams, they only made passes but their attacks were completely ineffective, despite the consecutive wins they had achieved in previous matches, but when facing a stronger team they did not look aggressive at all in attack. While Barcelona has been thoroughly tested under Hansi Flick, and several new signings have also made significant contributions to the team, Real Madrid may find it difficult to face Barcelona if their defensive strength is not improved immediately.

Anyway, the defeat shouldn't be a setback for them in the race for the title, it should rather make them aware of their still existing weaknesses and being much ready when they would meet the most arc rival (Barcelona) in el classico. Aside the first goal on penalty and rest of the goals were highlights, it came in through in a too simple way for a club like Real Madrid.

What I noticed from Real Madrid defeat was their failure to anticipate aerial balls. Two of Atletico Madrid five goals were purely due to failure to anticipate (Rüdiger absence was very noticeable). What I was surprised about was the last goal. How could Madrid players still make mistakes when they were so far behind? It was a truly ridiculous goal. Regardless, I agree that this defeat will not reduce Madrid chances of winning the title. What Xabi must do now is fix these weaknesses and get his squad back on track again, while preparing the best tactics for the El Clasico match which is just around the corner.

[Webetcoins]

I am sure that everyone already knows that Barcelona and Real Madrid are the only teams that can win the title, realistically that is what the finances are telling us too. However, we need to realize that it snot game based, it is not match based, it's literally seasonal. Because while those two will be top two, that doesn't make any team lose to them instantly, there are still chances of teams beating them.

Barcelona got a tie against such a poor team, or Real Madrid conceded 5 goals from Atletico, these are all possible things. None of this means they are not going to be top two, they will be, but it allows us to bet on the games knowing that something better could happen and we could end up with betting on something unexpected.

And this season too if Alonso cannot bring stability to Madrid's performance quickly then Madrid will not be able to win any title this season either. Alonso is a talented coach. And he will have to bring stability to Madrid's squad very quickly if they want to win titles.

As a relatively young coach, he's actually done a good job. However, he seems to need more time to truly stabilize Real Madrid and achieve their best performance. This season, however, Real Madrid has shown some improvement. Their back line has become strong again. Unfortunately, there are always injuries to the team's defenders, which weakens the back line again. However, I hope this time it won't be as bad as last season, especially since Real Madrid has a crucial match in the Champions League today.

The La Liga, Champions League, and other competitions will be a difficult challenge for Real Madrid if the team isn't fully stable. Alonso needs to show good results in one of the competitions this season. Otherwise, I doubt he'll stay here for long.

Real Madrid needs all the grooming they can get from Alonso because as time goes that's how a limited time is giving to him.

When you say the match they lost against Athletico Madrid would have been in the champions League then ask it the champions league is not important to them, I think as much as the laliga title is important to Realmdrid, the UEFA champions league is also important to them, they have defense issues, they should work on that because that the reason for their loss against Athletico Madrid I their last week meeting, the only problem anyone can point out or point at presently is Realmdrid defense, if Alonso can fix that then they are good for now, they have not been scoring good numbers of goals but the points keep coming atleast that is fair enough at this present time.

[Volgastallion]

Atletich Bilbao not so good start is gonna make them start to looking more carefully in each match, i mean they have to play a lot of games for the Champions League and they also need to be in the top positions to secure a spot in europe for next year, and so far they are not doing so good. Lets see if at least they can win some match in Champions League after so many years.

[Tmoonz]

So far in general, I think Xabi Alonso has done his management well in Madrid and 1 point difference with Barcelona is not too big.

And he will have to bring stability to Madrid's squad very quickly if they want to win titles.

To me I think Xabi Alonso will learn from this lost to know what and what he needs to do at the team because they still have lots of tough games like this ahead of this season and they can't keep losing all, normal I must recommend him for a job well done so far but the season is still very much fresh and he's yet to play Barcelona, real Madrid biggest threat last season and I know Xabi Alonso wouldn't want that to happen so he needs to do something now, just a point behind Barcelona is not a big deal as we all know real Madrid form is no where close to Barcelona yet they keep it moving for this long in this season, I don't know how but I still very much believe they will bounce back stronger.

Unarguably yes, although it's going to be a tough game but I think barcelona would win Madrid. Real Madrid started the season well and Barcelona didn't have a good start but right now the tables have turned and Madrid are that ones lagging behind now. It's almost the same thing that happened last season with Madrid, they were doing well but they began to fall back after a while. Barcelona might win the title again this season

in the end, after years of Carlo Ancelotti, a change was inevitable and it was inevitable that it would go like this in the early days
you have to get into gear and get past the "storming" phase, as the phase in which a team tries to understand how to work together is called
after the storming farce, norming and performing take place

I don't think he needs any more time because there are coaches that are ready to grant Madrid there wish because it is becoming more difficult for xabi Alonso to manage Madrid and the truth is if his not careful then the next thing is going to be seen on is table is going to be a sack latter because even me I feel his incompetent to manage the club because madrid have this live style of winning trophies and now they are struggling to even win the smallest trophies it shows that they need some one better to manage Real Madrid.

And if not for management Madrid would not have been able to manage to have the name they are bearing because they are the most that have won the Champions League and that is why they are call the king of Champions league we need that Real Madrid back.

Yeah, sometimes these types of losses is actually a strength to the team but sometimes again it's a way of demoralising the team spirit as well. But since this is Real Madrid and winning is in their DNA, I hope the coach learns from this so he can draw strength from it as well when he faces other games ahead. Today they play an away champion league match. It should be a win for them from all indications.

Yeah, obviously it's not about the age it about the quality. Yamal Jamal is special talents, he has a very good capacity to gain more tech from the senior baller. Besides, all players work extremely well together and try to pretend to be a one-team army..... Besides that, Marcus Rashford is also adopt Barca style of play and I hope soon he will also be there to make more sense.

It also true that whenever Hansi Flick came he just made the team outstanding. Literally he just switch the team play into prey hunter-like all the time they just banged up their opponent with impressive creativity.
