La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[snipie]

Now I ask again is Real Madrid still out of the picture? Is Barcelona the favorite and also the ultimate for the Spanish LA Liga title this year? Can you imagine such humiliation from an unexpected team sevilla that is even struggling for the league won Barcelona with such incredible margin this is ridiculous, and it's seems Marcus Rashford is the only goal scorer they have now, and it's also quite convincing that no lamine yamal no game for Barcelona, like I was really disappointed by Barcelona in yesterday game, now those people who laughed at Real Madrid the question now is how far?

I want to apologise for Sevilla for underestimating them and for thinking that Barcelona could beat them with whatever formation played with.
It turns out that injuries affected heavily Barcelona performance and Sevilla profited from that to collect 3 points aftersscoring 4 goals against what supposed to be the best team.
Now Real Madrid squad should be more than happy with the outcomes of this round since the other 3 top teams had lost points.

This game is one of the biggest shock of the weekend and I never expected the scoreline. It's one thing that Barcelona lost the game, but the scoreline is something else.
Barcelona has lost two games straight in all competition, but I will still not write them off from winning the LaLiga. I still feel it's between them and Real Madrid,  but they have to do better than the way they played yesterday and also try other strategies if most teams are finding a way to defend against them. Congratulations to Seville.

You're right, this season is truly a great opportunity for Xabi, as Real Madrid's chances of becoming La Liga champions are wide open. Their rivals, Barcelona, are currently in poor form, as evidenced by their loss to Sevilla, which is clear evidence of Barcelona's current poor performance. So, with that in mind, I think Real Madrid has a good chance of becoming La Liga champions. They are currently at the top of the table, and given the current situation, I think they will remain in that position for a long time.

Initially, I thought Real Madrid would drop again, but now I've changed my mind, and it seems that favoring Real Madrid is much better than favoring Barcelona. So, with this in mind, I don't think Xabi should give Barcelona any more room to overtake them. If Xabi and Real Madrid can do that well, I think Real Madrid will likely be champions again this season in La Liga. Because currently many of Barcelona's main players are injured, so with that in mind, I think this is the right moment for Xabi to win a trophy with Real Madrid.

Until recently we were talking about a Barcelona that was fearsome and was truly the top, I understand that these teams can't do much without their strongest players but it's a shame that without them they can't give their best on the pitch, however Real Madrid could take advantage of it

Madrid have already taken advantage of their defeat yesterday to top the table. I don't know if it was the defeat from PSG that affected their mentality to the point that they conceded four goals against a weak team. Honestly, I lost my bet on this match because I had the belief that it's gon be an easy game for Barcelona. The team shouldn't rely solemnly on only one or two players.

Barcelona messed up yesterday, I didn't expect that they will lose to Sevilla but that's the beauty of football as surprises do pops up at the time when it's least expected. One thing I can confidently say at this point is that nobody know who will win the league. Barcelona and real Madrid are going to lose more matches so people should expect more losses. La liga needs more of these surprising results from time to time, to make the league more interesting for spectators.

[Nightwalker(NW)]

It is an unexpected result we saw today. I don't think anyone expected Sevilla to be able to beat Barcelona. The most surprising part is that Barcelona conceded four goals against Sevilla that is really a very bad result for Barcelona before the match started, I checked the head-to-head stats, and I saw that it had been a long time since Sevilla had beaten Barcelona. That was what really made me overconfident and led me to bet on Barcelona to win the game.

What is now happening in Barcelona? They lost their Champions League match against PSG, and now they've lost another match here in La Liga, conceding four goals to Sevilla a team that isn’t even in their best form.Now I see some people saying it's because Lamine Yamal wasn't on the pitch today. But I don’t think that should be an excuse for Barcelona to lose and concede so many goals to a team like Sevilla, who have been struggling for a while now.

Very very unexpected, I don't even think any of us anticipated this kind of outcome, even if they were to lose it's supposed to be something like 2:1, the score line was even more surprising to me. When Rashford scored before half time, I thought Barcelona will do another La Remontanda in the second half. Barcelona were given a penalty that would have levelled the score but they managed to miss it and Sevilla scored two more goals to break the hearts of Barcelona fans.

Honestly it does not sound well that means of such calibre at the level they are still seem to look like they are players dependent so badly that the absence of a particular set of players gets them coming off so weak and be loosing or struggling to win matches, Barcelona I supposed should have already been getting payed that level but it seem unfortunately they really have not after all, Real Madrid is not even performing so well that I will wnat to eeven agree to them been able to take advantage of the situation but let us hope they do for their own good.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I actually wonder if this is Barcelona's game What I mean is, even though we know that winning and losing are inevitable in a match, their performance certainly did not meet my expectations from the start. Even though some of their players were injured, they should have been able to show something from the game they played.

-snip

With this result, Madrid is back at the top of the standings, and I’m happy about that because Barcelona’s loss brings its own blessings

I think you’re a Madrid fan, since you seem pretty happy seeing Barcelona lose. But I’m also glad to see Madrid back at the top of the table.

Anyway, when key players are injured, it’s only natural for a team’s performance to dip. Even top tier team with tons of experience aren’t immune to that. Madrid dealt with the same issue last season, after all. So it seems we all know the problem of Barcelona defeat and this is a tough blow to Flick.

You know where I stand
In the end, this situation may be considered normal, but actually, when you look at their performance on the field, they should be doing better than this. Even though I support Madrid, that doesn't mean I'm in denial, because I know Barcelona should be performing better than this.

What’s happening on the field doesn’t look good for Barcelona, and there definitely needs to be an improvement here. If they’re just hiding behind the injured players, I think that’s clearly not a good situation, especially since they need to stay focused to keep things in good shape.
However, this is still early days, and they've only lost once, so it might not be too much of an issue. Still, if the situation is left unaddressed, it could impact their performance in other matches.

[Pablo-wood]

Disappointing game for Barcelona once again, does this mean that Barcelona will struggle to win games without Yamal present? Anyways that will always be the outcome when a team builds their strength around one player, it will always be difficult winning games in the absence of such players because it also breaks the spirit and morale of the team.

Barcelona are too reliant upon their wingers. If they missed them, they finished. I can't imagine they will miss Raphinha and Yamal for the whole season. Those two wingers helped them to balance club with their garbage defenders. Yeah, they have garbage defence, but can score a lot. It's their advantage by having them and reason why they are always winning. This time they have no good players to rely with. The real test is just getting started.

Barcelona held the possession as expected while Sevilla maximized their counter. I was even more shocked seeing Lewa lose a penalty when he needed to score if not for any other reason for the fact Barca's confidence needed to be rekindled, this match exposed more of Barca's weakness, Sevilla's counterattacks were sharp and direct, taking full advantage of the gaps left by Barca's high line and shaky defense.

[bastisisca]

You're very correct. I think that people are getting carried away by the conventional way of believing that the bigger team will always win. This is one of the biggest problems gamblers face in their tickets. Barcelona's turn just came today same way real Madrid suffered their humiliation against Athletical Madrid some days ago by 5 goals to 2. Teams have some win probabilities of which even a 10 percent probability could win the game.

Celta Vigo almost shocked Athletical Madrid today but they narrowly escaped, thanks to the 6th minute own goal that put Athletical Madrid at the front leaving celta Vigo in their 6th 1-1 draw of the season. This season is full of surprises and fans are excited.


This sporting betting is becoming harder and harder to predict in every new season. The thing is that Sevilla had a bad campaign season last year and in the beginning of this season they lossed their first two matches to Athletic Club and Getafe, then managed to sniff an away win from Girona, and this it has been with inconsistency for them.

And almighty Barcelona were in their undefeated campaign for every match they have surmounted and were looking indomitable to be defeated anytime soon, above all, not Sevilla because all projection were pointing to the el classico for Barcelona to be met with a defeat all things remaining constant.

You hit the nail on the head, brother. This "strong team always wins" bullshit is the death of your money's gambling. We all saw it with Real Madrid getting humiliated by Atletico.

I think this is the beauty of football, which we all love.

There's no such thing as "sure." There's 90% and 10%. And that 10% pops up every now and then, and it ruins your bet.

[TelolettOm]

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

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

Because these two players are indeed influential players for the club, and yes, my mistake was I only listed two and mentioned "several", hahaha.
I think I should have included more, like Fermin Lopez, who is also an influential player for the club, as well as their goalkeeper who has been injured for a while, and others. But yeah, as you said, they lost, and that's the fact that they didn't play optimally.

Well, moreover, from several interviews conducted with Hansi Flícik and also the players, they admitted that they must be more focused on the game and need to avoid making mistakes. I took one of the interviews done, by Pedri here:

Source: Pedri on Barcelona lost

[blomen]

after real madrid's defeat to atlético, barcelona beat real sociedad and briefly took the top spot. however, looking at the standings at the end of week 8, barcelona suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to sevilla and slipped back to second place.

as barcelona and real madrid remain close, the match i'm eagerly awaiting is, of course, el clásico. we have now completed the 8th week, and after the international break, real madrid will host barcelona in the 10th week. if there are no surprises in the 9th week, this will be a crucial match in determining which team will finish first in the league for the remainder of the season.

Can you imagine such humiliation from an unexpected team sevilla that is even struggling for the league won Barcelona with such incredible margin this is ridiculous, and it's seems Marcus Rashford is the only goal scorer they have now, and it's also quite convincing that no lamine yamal no game for Barcelona, like I was really disappointed by Barcelona in yesterday game, now those people who laughed at Real Madrid the question now is how far?

I am also very disappointed with Barcelona's loss. Barcelona's loss to Sevilla feels humiliating. Another thing that has become really clear is that Barcelona's attack is much weaker without Lamine Yamal. Rashford only scored one goal. If Yamal had been there, we might have seen a few more goals. The margin of defeat would have been a little less. It is difficult to keep the balance of the team's attack with Rashford alone. Although Barcelona started the season well, the loss to Sevilla is much more sad. How uncertain the league is is only understood by seeing this Barcelona's loss.

[bitcoin_mining]

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.

Any reason can be offered, but I agree they should accept this defeat because Sevilla played better and were quite solid defensively.
Barcelona had a chance to equalize through Lewandowski's penalty, but he missed the penalty, which was the beginning of their defeat.
This shows the impact of the weak performance displayed by several players, resulting in Barcelona suffering another defeat.
This was a chance to maintain their lead at the top of the table, ahead of Real Madrid, but Barcelona squandered it.

Barcelona fans never wanted to see what happened to Barcelona last night. Earlier, Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid by a big margin, as a result of which Barcelona fans laughed a lot about Real Madrid's performance, but today when Barcelona lost to Sevilla by a margin of 4-1, Real Madrid fans are laughing at Barcelona's performance. I don't understand why Barcelona performed like this against Sevilla. They missed penalties, they missed many chances, and even when Sevilla's team was reduced to ten men, they still couldn't attack and succeed. No one could have imagined that Barcelona would perform like this in La Liga. First, the defeat against PSG in the Champions League, then the defeat against Sevilla in La Liga, all in all, the team is under a lot of pressure.

[cande86]

Barcelona is still not that far behind, even after this game. After eight games only, Real Madrid is leading the league with 2 points, which isn't really that much. I would say it's still quite possible for Barcelona to comeback from this, it's literally one game difference, any game Madrid gets a tie and Barcelona would have the same points.



The good thing is that whatever happened happened early into the season and Barcelona needs to take lessons from these mistakes and learn to be better and not repeat the same mistakes again. They have played a certain kind of football for over a year now and it's showing that teams like Rayo and Sevilla are aware of how to defend against that this year, so they need to find an alternative when things do not work well for them.

However, I would never have expected this decline from Barcelona, ??who seem to have started off on the right foot, but I must say that this makes us think that the championship is still wide open and that anything can still happen.
It is also interesting that without some key players Barcelona cannot do very well, they have to hope for the return of Yamal

His absence on the field is indeed very noticeable and makes the squad seem helpless. But on the other hand, Barcelona cannot always rely on Lamine Yamal in every match they face, especially with a fairly busy match schedule. His quality when on the field is indeed undoubted, and plays a big role in every victory achieved by Barcelona, ​​​​but the coach also needs to be wiser in managing playing minutes for Lamine Yamal, his age is still quite young, his career in football is still quite long, do not let his brilliant action on the field is stopped because the player too often experiences fatigue and injuries that could have fatal consequences for his career in football. And for the player, it is also quite important to continue to maintain his fitness and lifestyle, do not let things done off the field can affect his performance when playing on the field.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Real Madrid played a classic game against Villarreal and Vini has already started to prove why he should be on that d'Or list next two seasons! Scoring two goals to the team's advantage was pretty sick.

IMO, I think Franco Mastantuono is just overrated and doesn't really have much of an impact like what he's praised for, or maybe I haven't watched much of his performances? IDK. Why did this happen in a week where Barcelona lost 4 goals aside to another team? Now they already feel like they're ahead in the league!

[GigaBit]

No one could have predicted that Barcelona would be in such a situation. No one expected them to concede 4 goals against Sevilla. Such situations are not only happen with Barcelona. We have also seen Real Madrid lose many matches like this. It is part of the game. As a fan, it is a bit difficult to accept such a defeat. Of course, if the defeat had been against a big team, it would have been easier to accept, but Sevilla themselves are fighting for survival, so a big defeat is unexpected for them. Real Madrid are once again 2 points ahead from Barcelona.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I would say it's still quite possible for Barcelona to comeback from this, it's literally one game difference, any game Madrid gets a tie and Barcelona would have the same points.

well, it's not about getting the point back together, it's about the history that has been made from the game. Barcelona getting defeated by Sevilla with 4 outstanding goals-- hold on a second, have you forgotten that goals count too? This impact will stay fresh for a while.

The good thing is that whatever happened happened early into the season and Barcelona needs to take lessons from these mistakes and learn to be better and not repeat the same mistakes again.

Overconfidence will one day destroy the team if Hansi flick doesn't fight it hard now from its root cause. The team hasn't failed yet, but receiving too many of these impact could wreck them before time.

Many people want to forget what Barcelona Football Club did last night because I think that it was definitely disappointing that they would be so shamefully humiliated by Sevilla. In such a competitive match, perhaps Barcelona's current German coach should not have arranged their attack with one of their key players. Robert Lewandowski and youngster Dani olmo can make a big impact in other matches but they suddenly fell out of style last night, as a result we saw that despite their united attack, they were unable to score more than one goal against Sevilla.

The attacking players of Barcelona Football Club struggled against this team, which increased their nervous tension. You are right that Barcelona started the initial phase of this league with great rhythm, but now they need a strong mentality because their path forward is still open, so they must play with dedication.

[Volgastallion]

Two lose in a row and not only that, WHAT A LOSE, 4-1 against Sevilla, and not a super good Sevilla, this is a hard work sevilla more defensive and they allow 4 goals from this team, a complete failure.

I cant saw the game but i heard a lot of people talking about how bad Barcelona played, i dont know what happen to them, first losing against a B team of Paris Saint Germian, and now losing against Sevilla.....
