La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[red4slash]

Barcelona lost 4-1 to Sevilla. I was shocked when I saw the score.
Barcelona had 60% possession, but still lost the match. Possession doesn’t mean much anymore; what matters is winning.
This slip-up benefited Real Madrid, who are now at the top of the table.

The loss of several players such as Raphinha, Lopez, and Lamine in the attack disrupted their performance.

From their performance in this match, the only player I could see making any moves was Rashford, the rest were unremarkable.
I usually expect Pedri to stand out because his vision in the game is quite good, but in this match, he also didn't make an impact.

With this defeat, it's certainly advantageous for Madrid because, after all, the standings that were previously dominated by Barcelona are now back in their hands. However, this is still early in the season, and there are still many matches remaining. So, even though Madrid has managed to regain the top position, it's still not entirely comfortable for them.

Continuing to attack but forgetting about their fragile defense --- imagine that in the 90th minute Sevilla could score 2 goals, which shows how bad Barcelona's defense is.

Yep, this defeat benefits Real Madrid, who remain at the top with a one-point lead. Actually, this is not a bad sign because the point gap is close.
Now the international break means the league will be on hiatus for 2 weeks --- boring.

[DYOR+BTC]

So we have Real returning to the position of the leader of the table. They earned a rather easy 3 points on Villareal, who are also doing very well so far, but were not a match for Real. The first half wasn't very effective, but Real managed to score 3 in the 2nd half, with Villareal responding only once.

Contrary to what I expected, Atletico failed to win against Celta Vigo. They took the early lead, but a red card for Lenglet in the 40th minute really messed things up for them. Overall, I think they should feel lucky for returning home with at least one point.

The biggest shock of the round was Barcelona getting crushed by Sevilla. Before today, Sevilla had 3 wins, one draw and 3 losses, so it was a definition of an average (not to say mediocre) team. After today's win, they jumped to 6th place and are within range to fight for the top 4.
It's hard to say what exactly went wrong for Barcelona as I've only watched highlights. That early penalty for Sevilla (after a weird and unnecessary foul in the penalty area) set the entire game. Things could've gone completely differently if not for that missed penalty by Lewandowski, which would have made it a 2-2, but instead, Barcelona was forced to go all in on the offense and got punished with counterattacks by Sevilla. Despite the result, I don't think Barcelona's performance was horrible. Those things happen.

Real Madrid securing a smooth win against Villarreal Is never supposed to be an unimaginable result because know one  in his right sense will  strongly say Villarreal could win against real Madrid because they both are not in the same page. Atletico Madrid was over rated because they where able to win Madrid in a humiliating manner  without knowing its time shall come when they will need to prove themselves, when the came it was indeed challenging for them and if not for the red card they would have gone home with nothing on the table.

[BIT-BENDER]

The international break is a good opportunity for Barcelona's coaching staff to do a reassessment of the entire team, this is a good time for them to look into the high line they are playing, I believe the high line is causing Barcelona more harm than good.
I have no doubt that Barcelona will bounce back and do better but they gave to fix their current problems moving forward.

[CageMabok]

The big clubs winning the small fry clubs has become normal that we have discarded that this is football and unpredictable game that even the best teams get humiliated by the underrated team. Sevilla had their chances and took them without mistakes, a mind-blowing 4-1 defeat that quashed Barcelona  Undefeated run.

I was also completely shocked by this result, as I wasn't a favorite to win before the match, even though it was at Sevilla's home ground. This was a truly humiliating result for Barcelona fans, as such a crushing defeat would normally be incredibly painful, especially since Real Madrid won again and reclaimed top spot in the standings from Barcelona, ​​who lost heavily away today.

No one expected it.Atleast, with the drop in points  for Realmadrid , everyone thought Barcelona Had to win their  next game which is against sevilla to maintain the  top spot which looks sane IYAM.  Their attack seem preety okay but they keep missing  key opportunities that could have put them back into the game early until there were no more chances to do that..
The mastermind players behind the comeback games aren’t present either and you dont expect mieldfield to start doing the job of the defence because they were also terrible for the game and that exposed scezesney so much, it was Garcia that has been  covering up for those guys from the beginning of the season and now that he has an injury, it preety clear that the defenders needs some bat slaping each.

[Adbitco]

Unexpectedly, struggling Sevilla has beaten the champions in a 4 - 1 win for the host. Just last week Real Madrid suffered at the hand of Atletico Madrid and this week it's Barcelona that suffered in the hands of Sevilla. In my country we do say "everybody go collect" I guess this is the real definition of everybody must collect. Once you take your share of the loss, just go home and rest then prepare for the next game.

[$weetne$$]

I didn't watch this and was very surprised by the result of this La Liga match between Sevilla and Barcelona. Yesterday, I was upset by Real Madrid's defeat against Atletico Madrid, but this time, Barcelona lost to Sevilla? Sevilla's performance is sometimes quite poor, but now, Barcelona was completely crushed at Sevilla's home ground.

Barcelona dominated the match statistically. Look at their attack, they were numerous, but only Rashford managed to score one goal. Meanwhile, Sevilla, who only had five shots on target, managed to score four goals. What a great and effective attack by Sevilla.

Now, Real Madrid back to the top La Liga again.

Barcelona took the statistical lead and yet we're unable to take the lead in match, if not for Rashford, technically Barcelona would have given Sevilla a clean sheet record, this happens to bee one if the unluckiest day for Barcelona because they actually did played well only that they were not as lucky meanwhile Rashford was awarded the MODM which I believe he was very deserving of it , his efforts were very much visible enough to give him the award.

[imamusma]

It seems many bettors suffered losses due to the surprising defeat of Barcelona. Sevilla truly exceeded expectations and humbled Barcelona with a 4-1 scoreline. Although Barcelona dominated possession and created more chances, Sevilla appeared to play more effectively with counter attacks. Perhaps the match would have ended in a draw if Lewandowski hadn't failed to execute the penalty.
Regardless of all that, Hansi Flick must immediately find a solution regarding his team leaky defense, conceding four goals in one match against a team like Sevilla is very disappointing.

[Smartvirus]

Now, Real Madrid back to the top La Liga again.

This leaves me to think that, without Lamine Yamal, there is no Barcelona. I mean, take a good look at it, how they played and how they carried themselves through the entire game. It wasn’t Sevilla playing what we would have expected of Barcelona. They kept the team under constant pressure and didn’t settle on just taking the lead and defending it but, they were in constant search for more goals and they got it. With each goal scored, the Barcelona defense line got loosen and the Sevilla forwards were just good in finding those pockets of spaces. You got to commend how they played today.
The one time they could have got back on the game was the Lewandowski’s missed penalty, clearly off target!

[programmer3666]

I was totally disappointed with what Barcelona played because I never think of a defeat like this and even though it shouldn't be with a massive goal. The kind of confidence I have for Barcelona in this match was almost 100% which I thought that they will overtake Real Madrid in the table but unfortunately they failed. A team that you have been beaten for almost 10 consecutive terms at last repair back with an humiliation.

Most people expected a win from Barcelona in the match, but they ended up being disappointed because Barcelona couldn’t get a win. Barcelona conceded 4 goals today, seriously even if some people will predict Barcelona to lose, I don’t think anyone will predict Barcelona to concede 4 goals, thats just much, Barcelona conceding 4 goals against Sevilla is really embarrassing. Barcelona got humiliated today, and lots of people playing bet might end up losing their bet today because most people will pick Barcelona to win.

I don’t really know what’s wrong with Barcelona lately, they lost against PSG in the champions league, now they lost against Sevilla today which most people never expected. For years Barcelona haven’t lost to Sevilla but that was broken today, Barcelona conceded 4 goals today.

yeah bro!! this result kind of surprised everyone. even if someone believed Barcelona might lose, almost nobody will guess they would concede four goals against sevilla. that is a big embarrassment for a club like Barcelona especially after so many years of dominating sevilla in La Liga. many people who placed bets likely lost money because Barcelona was the sure pick. Like losing to PSG was already a warning sign, but this defeat shows something is clearly wrong with the team right now. the defense looks weak, the mentality does not seem strong and the performances are not matching the club’s standard!! honestly the Hansi Flick needs to go back to the drawing board else this season he might not last to end of season if care is not taking.

The result of their match must have stunned everyone, as Barcelona lost, especially since statistically, Barcelona actually had a slight advantage over Sevilla. But the never-give-up home team was blessed with a high degree of luck, allowing Sevilla to take the lead in the first half and then regain the lead in the second half in the final minutes of the match. And if Lewandowski hadn't missed a penalty, perhaps Barcelona would have had enough spirit to equalize until the final minutes of the match.

Before the match began, Barcelona was favored to secure full points, but the opposite happened, as Sevilla managed to claim all three points in front of their home crowd. Barcelona attempt to bounce back after being defeated by PSG in the Champions League completely failed, and I think they are currently heavily reliant on the role of Lamine Yamal, without him Barcelona struggles to score goals.

It seems that Barcelona will need to do everything possible to recruit new players in the upcoming January transfer window, especially defenders. So far, Barcelona defense has looked very weak, which was clearly evident in the match against Sevilla. Dropping points means allowing Real Madrid to take the lead at the top of the standings, and if this happens frequently, Barcelona chances of retaining the trophy will become increasingly difficult.

Barcelona had the chance to make things better and equalized the game but when Robert Lewandowski missed the penalty, it definitely weaken the players because that hope would have boosted the performance of the club. Barcelona will do better after the international break, it'd couple weeks before the main key men comes from injury. Sevilla was ever ready to face Barcelona, they didn't come here to joke and they changed pattern when they spot a weakness in the Barca team, they keep pressing and pressing until they figure out a way to get through the Barca highline.

Barcelona played without several of their top players, particularly their attacking players (main wingers):
- Yamal - absent
- Rapinha - absent

This turned out to be quite an impact, even though Lewandowski and Rashford were still available. Fortunately, Rashford scored the opening goal, only one. However, their weakness this time was in their finishing, if we look at the statistics. And unfortunately, Lewandowski missed a penalty.

Now, Barcelona back to second place, Real Madrid elading at top standing of La Liga

Haha you know we're going to see a lot of memes on social media about Barcelona's defeat, what concerns us is that Barcelona lost with a score of 4-1 obviously this is a bit embarrassing lol. Lately the matches in La Liga have been a bit difficult to predict when a strong team is defeated in turn by another team even though we predicted the worst thing would be a draw, now Real Madrid is still safe at the top of the standings since the closest competitor lost points in the last match that means the champion candidate cannot be predicted yet.

For me it shouldn't be an embarrassing moment for Barcelona, after all they have been dominating the la Liga since last season till now and just one loss won't be something they shouldn't be proud of their run. We know they would bounce back after the break and if any team should be worried I think is Madrid because in as much as they sit at the top I think for these few weeks they have to be ready for what's coming, we know Madrid is not the type that can withstand pressure, not these sets of players and if Barcelona catches these Madrid players in this season first El Clasico, it won't end well and I hope they beat Madrid and take that number 1 spot.

Sevilla is also a good team and I wasn't underestimating them before the match but with the current performance of Barcelona I have confidence in their Victory but they choose failure over Victory.

The majority of us here must feel the same way as you my friend. I personally also feel very disappointed with the result of the match. Because I have also favored Barcelona to win without any doubt at all. But what was seen was the opposite. Usually it is Barcelona who always manages to score a lot of goals against the opponent's goal. But now the opposite is happening, namely Sevilla managed to score a lot of goals against Barcelona.

This is one of the biggest defeats for Barcelona. When Barcelona needs to maintain the first rank, this team actually lost points. And now the 2 points difference with Real Madrid will be really difficult to catch up. Because if Real Madrid continues to win then Real Madrid will continue to be ranked first.

Before Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid had a red cross on their points table. That is, they lost one match, and after a few matches, Barcelona was not expected to be in such a situation. No one could beat Barca before they took the field with Sevilla this season. After losing to Sevilla, Barca fell from the top of the points table. Real Madrid is now at the top. However, I expected that they would not be able to beat Barcelona, ​​but this match shows that the wheel of fortune turns on the field of play. Although Sevilla could not become champions this season, their victory over Barcelona is more than a champion.

This was Barcelona's weak point this season, if Barcelona had given their all, they would have definitely won the match. Barcelona lost the match by a small margin and dropped from the top of the table to second place. Barcelona started the season with the best performance, but they could not withstand even the slightest attack from Sevilla.
As a result, Barcelona lost three points and is now second in the table, while Real Madrid has taken first place.

Played without several top players? You literary just listed only 2  .

But let's not put all the blame on injuries. Barcelona also lost to a PSG side that was heavily hit with injuries as well, even with Yamal on the team. I think we should just accept that sometimes there are bad games.

The absence of these players clearly did affect the game. There is always a such an intense pressure from the Barcelona flanks when these guys are on the pitch and that was clearly lacking when they faced off Sevilla yesterday. Sevilla was there better all game and there was little Barcelona players could do to change the game. The attack was dull and the defense was weak.

This shows just how dependable Barcelona has been on these two players especially, Yamal. Good thing the international break is at hand else, they could have faced further point drops.
