La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[LUCKMCFLY]

You should never underestimate your opponent. Since Villarreal are doing well against big teams, their morale can make them more confident. So every player should go into the field with the attitude that the match could be challenging for Real Madrid. Again, the expectations of the fans are very high for big teams. So, whether to maintain their image or for the fans, Madrid will return to its previous position and give the audience a game to enjoy.

This is very true. Villarreal beat Madrid 2-0 last season, so this isn't something that should be celebrated as a victory, Given these circumstances, we must be consistent and believe that no rival is bad Madrid must play with all the care in the world , there's no doubt about that.

Now, Madrid must win or win, nothing more.

Normally, big things come with big expectations, which is the same in the case of Real Madrid fans and Xabi. No doubt, Xabi Alonso is trying his best, but still, it’s not enough for the team. He needs to do more, but if they give him more time, they will definitely see a better performance in the team, no doubt about that. However, the quantity of pressure that Xabi Alonso is getting from the fans and management is high. To be honest, he needs more time.

Xabi made Leverkusen champions, first in their over a century long life, and beat Bayern Munich with nearly 5 times bigger salary expense. So, of course he is considered a huge coach already and there are a lot of things expected of him to do here.

Real Madrid also has one of the best teams in the world when you look at the squad, which is obvious that we are going to end up with bad results if we are not careful but that doesn't mean that we are going to get it done easily. While Real Madrid has a lot of expectations that they will win the league and if they fail then there will be a lot of people responsible for it. It's also football, and sometimes even if you are the best you are going to end up losing anyways.

Today I watched Chelsea won Liverpool with almost all their backline players injured. The first rule of football is, dont say it is over until it is over. Another rule is, dont be so certain of anything until the game has kicked off and down to stoppage time.

So far, Villareal has not been playing bad in the first 15 to 20 minutes. The score line is still 0:0. If Real Madrid fail to win this game, it will be a big problem for them as they will drop lower under Barcelona.

Real Madrid hasn't broken the deadlock yet and the match is currently, on the 28th minutes. Madrid has created some good chances but Tchoumeni couldn't put them into the back of the post with a header. Madrid keeps pressing and pressuring their visitors defense in order to get a goal. I believe that Madrid will be able to open the scoreline in the first half.

Thoughts on this one?

I'm considering placing a bet on Atletico. Odds are:
Celta: x4.35
Draw: x3.75
Atletico: x1.78

Atletico had a turbulent start to the season, they lost the opening game and followed up with two draws, but it looks like they got through whatever problems they had at the beginning. Recently, they noted a very impressive win over their arch rivals, Real Madrid, winning 5-2, and followed up with beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Champions League.
Celta is yet to win their first league game this season. After 7 rounds, they only earned 5 points. They lost only 2 games and don't concede that many goals, but I think if Atletico keeps the same effectiveness of their attack as they had in their recent games, that should be enough to earn a win.

Honestly, it's hard not to bet on Atletico. I got 1.80 for my bet, and i think they will win it. My reason is that Alvarez is on fire. His club in also in very good mentality at this moment. It's not hard for them to beat a relegation club that conceded 9 goals from 7 games played.

I see it's hard for Atletico to lose or draw unless Celta get some miracle on their side. Logically, a relegation club is the weakest club to fight with.

It raises my optimism to believe Atletico to score at least two goals, and win it with clean sheet.

A good choice, but personally, I doubt Atletico Madrid can win, or perhaps even win with more effort.
Celta de Vigo is indeed a weak club, but I see Celta's statistics at home against Villarreal, which suggests they could turn the game around and secure a draw.
If I had to bet on this match, I'd choose BTTS, but I prefer to avoid betting on such a difficult match to predict

Real Madrid 0 Vs Villarreal 0 HT
Interesting first half only in terms of play and nothing else, Real Madrid dominate the first half with lots of them getting the ball to play, Villarreal sat back to absorb the pressure and made sure Real Madrid only plays around without getting into the 18 yard box. No clear cut chance for Real Madrid even as Villarreal are able to contain them. The first clear scoring chance came in the 40th minutes with Villarreal missing the chance to go in front of Real Madrid. The second half restarts in some minutes, I hope to see a goal or two in it.

[bitgolden]

I don't think anyone can blame Alonso for anything at this point, as he's done a great job coaching Real Madrid, and they're not in a bad position and aren't far behind their closest rivals. So, if we're talking about more time, Alonso certainly has that and will continue to strive to make Real Madrid better over time. The fans and management must be patient enough to see better results. Real Madrid still has a few weaknesses that need to be addressed, namely in the passing position in the midfield, so Madrid must be able to find players who can truly master that.

Why? He is their manager and while of course sole responsibility will not be at him, it is not going to be impossible for him to not have anything he is responsible for neither, he will be partly responsible for it.

I do not think that it's going bad so far, I am sure he will do fine for the long term and they may still win the title so nothing bad is going on. But that doesn't mean that we have to consider him terrible at the moment, we need to realize he is doing a fine job as it is and they should not be considering him as bad yet. If he ends up with a La Liga title and nothing else, that is still a good first season and that means if they give him some more time then they are going to end up with some good results in the future.

Madrid has taken the lead in this second half as Vinicius has given madrid the lead. Vinicius scored in the 47th minutes from an assist from mpappe. This game was supposed to be a easy one for Madrid but am seeing the game Madrid is really struggling in this game.



Villarreal is not a team that is a threat to Madrid in the laliga. But sometimes football is like this. Sometimes you win and some times you lose I expect more goals in this game.

[Moreno233]

This match is going to be a tough challenge for Real Madrid because Villarreal is in good shape and they are very good when they played against big teams, they have played against some big teams this season and they show that they are capable of defeating them, this will be another big challenge for Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid players because they have not played well against big teams, after the disappointing performance against Atletico Madrid, the fans are expecting a good result in this match.

Xabi Alonso should do anything to win this match against Villarreal, the team should not underestimate Villarreal, otherwise, they will be surprised by what Villarreal will do to them, Alonso should use his best players and those who are serious about winning games for the club, he may need to bench players like Vinicius and others who are not serious about winning matches.

I agree, villarrel are just one point below Madrid, this tells you how tough they are this season. Real Madrid are not reall in their best form. The players are not in sync and their defense is weak, these are their major problems right now, if they can win villarrel and score a good number of goals they are going to take back the first position from Barcelona, but lets just see what happens, I'm not expecting much from them

Real Madrid is going to get the three points in this match as they are already leading 2-1 in the second half. Vini is in his happy month today as they awarded a penalty in his favor. I don't see Villarreal equalizing the goals within the remaining 27 minutes and instead of that to happen, Real Madrid will score another one to make it 3-1. I wanted Real Madrid to get a draw so that Barcelona will close the gap between them a little when they defeat Sevilla tomorrow.  

[ingiltere]

Actually, the Villarreal match is going exactly as I expected. There were no goals in the first half but Real Madrid scored two in the second half. Vini Jr. opened the game. In Villarreal, Mikautadze is a very effective and in form player. He scored a goal from outside the penalty area and it was the third goal of the match. My bet on over 2.5 goals was correct, but my parlay went down as there was one goal less in the Serie A match. The Real Madrid match was exactly as I predicted, both teams had scoring chances and they successfully did it.

Definitely real Madrid will not have a draw or lose in this game as they are already in lead against Villarreal, which the referee has already awarded a red card to mourino a Villarreal player.
The score line is already 3 goals to 1, a 3rd goal scored by K. Mbappe.
Definitely Barcelona will actually get there 3 points with ease no doubt for tomorrow's game, they will beat Sevilla in that game.

The match ends 3:1 with Mbappe closing the goals for the night. This is Real Madrid home game, they can't possibly lose to Villareal despite their weak form. Villareal got a red card in 77 minutes, 4 minutes after Real Madrid seized the opportunity of securing their win, if the game had remained 2:1, maybe Villareal will be fighting for an equalizer. What's left is extra time, Real Madrid have their three points given already, they remain the leading team in La Liga until Barcelona plays their own fixture.

Today is a lucky day for Vini Jr, he replaced Mbappe today in terms of performance and responsibility, he have scored two goals so far in the match in which one of them is a penalty kick been taking by him instead of Mbappe and this shows that the players are supporting each other’s because if they aren’t supporting each others some of them might be suppressed especially if the player is having a bad games always.
Mapped was even taken off by the coach two minutes after to be replaced by Rodrigo, Vinicius deserve the man of the match because he did really well.

[Joy- maker]

I'm very sure that Real Madrid will win Villarreal in today's match for the fact that the match is holding in Real Madrid home they will win the match and again Real Madrid is more informed than Villarreal this season, Real Madrid wants to lift this season la Liga title, they need to win this match because if they end of losing this match to villarreal their chance to lift the la Liga title this season will become more difficult because Barcelona will be topping them with a higher number so they know that losing this match will be a very big mess to there pursue of the la Liga title this season.

although am projecting real Madrid to win today's match because they are more informed than Villarreal this season, real Madrid is really trying their possible best to lift this season trophy no doubt. but on the other hand am also seeing draw in this today's match, because Villarreal is also performing very well this reason and they are among the top five clubs in the LA Liga table. Real Madrid is only topping Villarreal with just 2 points, because Villarreal lost one match. Real Madrid really have good and quality players that will make them dominate today's match.

This is a win they ought to celebrate, after a big bow they got from their rivalry match against Atletico Madrid in there last laliga game. They really needed that 3 points.
In today's game real Madrid showed some level of the dominant team over Villarreal, and they finally got their victory, well performed in today's game, they deserve the crown.
Vini was on fire today, great performance from him and the MVP of today's game. Tomorrow we watch out for Barcelona and Sevilla. There is no need to predict this game against Barcelona, surely they will get there win easily.

[EFS]

Villarreal are a good team. Real Madrid got a nice win at home. Vini Jr. is in great form. Xabi Alonso made a well-judged rotation. Mastantuono is starting to get more playing time, but still he couldn't finish 90 minutes on the pitch. Alonso also gave Arda and Bellingham balanced minutes. Real Madrid are back on top, but Barca will take the lead back tomorrow. For some reason Sevilla can't play well at home, they won't be able to stand against Barca.

Villarreal has been up to speed this season and they have occupied a comfortable position on the log and visiting the home of Madrid, honestly I was thinking they would taken advantage of the fact that Madrid wasn't as sharp as they used to be even without the red card their performance wasn't impressive to me. It seems like Atletico Madrid has opened the eyes of the Whites to sit up and start playing like one of the biggest teams in la Liga. Good thing Madrid won this game if not it would gave been a bad night for them amd they should hope for Barcelona to lose or draw their game to stay on top of the table till they return from the break. let's see how far this performance would go for Madrid.

Real Madrid goals came from Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. With Vini getting a brace while Mbappe assisted one of his.

To be honest I'm glad they got a 3 goals to 1 lead, those extra time burden trying to defend against a team fighting to get a point was pretty much limited with this. They can conserve their strength better we with this.

[Rabata]

Last year, the club Real Madrid could not win the La Liga title due to a small margin, but this season they seem to be more organized than before. Moreover, they are performing as such. In today's match, I had predicted that Real Madrid would win but I could not be sure because at any time on the field of play, a week team can win against a strong team. According to the condition of the team, Real Madrid will undoubtedly win and that is what happened in the match. Real Madrid won 3-1 against Villarreal. The team won by a large margin with two goals from Vinicius Junior and one from Mbappe.

The second half of the game came with a break through for Real Madrid as they were able to register 3 goals to win the game against  Villarreal, Real Madrid struggled but couldn't score in the first half but Xabi Alonso motivated his players they created more chances and were able to execute it to score finally they got the 3 points. Vini Junior was the super hero I nthe game scoring a brace one from the penalty spot and Mbappe completely put his team in a comfortable position with his last goal which completely left the visitors hopeless, it was a good win for Madrid after winning in the champions League too.
