La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

This wasn't a surprise to me because I have experienced this with Chelsea last season when they were seriously battling, whenever they come in contact with a top team within the arrange like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City they always play as if they were in a better form but after that particular match things went back again that is why I wasn't surprised to see this game ended draw. Between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid they have a very long relationship when it comes to playing together, they have been rivals for long that's what Trigger the sudden surprise. Atletico Madrid are still struggling because I don't see Celtic as an obstacles despite the went for an away game, they just have to do it against Real Madrid.

This is true because, most teams play well when they meet a big team . They intend to up their game just like the derby between ATM and Madrid which was won by ATM. ATM has been struggling through out the season but score five goals in one match just to humiliates their city rivals.

Celta 1 - 1 Atl. Madrid

I'm honestly having a hard time recognizing Atletico Madrid. They played magnificently against Real Madrid and drew this week. That's why the Spanish league is so unpredictable. Teams that beat teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona can unpredictably draw the following week or lose in a match they're favorites. I know this is perhaps one of the reasons why Spanish football is so enjoyable, but I still find it very strange.

If anyone tried to explain Atletico Madrid, kindly tell them you don't understand because that club is strange. This was the same team that won Real Madrid last 2 weeks and gave them good beating despite Real Madrid topping the club and now they draw match with Celta that is trying ways to run away from relegation team, isn't it this strange to draw match, it's not like they are in form, it's just the normal them and they draw that match till the last minute.

Barcelona also did the same thing last week and that's makes me aks if Barcelona is now a club that depend on the Kid Yamal to win a match. This was what has happening last season and now they are doing it again and it was reported that Yamal will take time for him to return to the club. It's possible that they will remain in that place or lower if Yamal doesn't play, that's one disadvantage of depending on one player that this is the bood option

[Toro iskandar]

And if you look at it Madrid is progressing and we should not be surprised that Alonso have his own plan coming up. So we should not even underestimate Barcelona too but for the main time I don't think Barcelona is balanced than real madrid currently because from the look of things Madrid is winning more games than Barcelona which is giving them more advantage than Barcelona this is something we can all see there is nothing to argue about at the moment this is even aside am a Madrid fan but this is something we are all seeing. And both Madrid and Barcelona are managing there defense but even at that Real Madrid is still winning games compare to Barcelona.

No, I disagree if you say Barcelona is unbalanced against Real Madrid based on a one-sided assessment.
Real Madrid has won 7 matches while Barca has won 6 out of 8, and you're saying it's unbalanced by just one win?
Come on, my friend, the match is still long, and favoring Real Madrid, who have everything, is unfair. You also have to consider Hansi Flick, who has been able to maintain Barcelona's consistency with only the players he has.
Meanwhile, Barcelona has also suffered a storm of injuries to several key players in their last match.
So, for me, these two clubs are evenly matched at the moment.

Isn't this situation quite normal for Atletico, given that their performance is always like this? When facing strong clubs such as Madrid and Barcelona in domestic competitions, they always become a different club, even very dominant in their attacking scheme, but when facing clubs that are below Atletico in status, they always struggle to perform and maintain their rhythm of play.

In this match as well, although it can be understood that losing one player from the first half meant that one point was already a very good result for them compared to getting nothing at all in an away match.
In the second half, Atletico adopted a tactical defensive approach because they knew that trying to take control of the game with an unbalanced lineup would be very difficult, especially since their attacking build-up from the start wasn't particularly strong.

At least with this one point, they can still compete in the upper half of the standings and gradually close in on the comfortable zone of the top four, which is still very good for Atletico.

[Stablexcoin]

Isn't that interesting? Because when teams play each other very well, they drop points to a team of lesser caliber the next week. I expected Atletico Madrid to win this week. Of course, the red card may have had an impact on the match as a whole, but I'm still surprised by Atletico Madrid's result. Logically, we know they played a fantastic match against Real Madrid. I also thought they'd play very well against Celta, but they weren't bad until the red card, and then, you know, they dropped points.

Atletico Madrid got the red card in the first half, 40 minutes into the game. You don't expect Atletico to hold down their lead throughout the second half, even if it's possible to defend the one goal, it shouldn't be a surprise that Celta Vigo equalized but yet they couldn't win the match.

Since losing to Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League, Atletico hasn't lost any game since then, the other draw they had against Mallorca was also a red card they got in the 72 minutes before Mallorca equalized in the 85 minutes. Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 5:2 and Frankfurt 5:1 in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid can work on avoiding red card, as their performance isn't that bad.

Let's be honest Atletico Madrid hasn't been at their best so far this season although I agree with you that they are gradually getting back on track but I fear for them because they can easily go back to poor performances even after having a couple of incredible games.
I think athletico Madrid should find a balance in their game and focus on winning the small teams than winning just four games against Barcelona and Real Madrid.

[Jegileman]

If Barcelona performs  so erratically and poorly due to injuries, then the Barcelona management and Hansi Flick are definitely to blame. They should have kept the squad  players with suitable replacements. But Barcelona did not do that. And  because of this , Barcelona's performance has become weak after a few players got injured. And it is true that if such erratic performances continue, Barcelona will not be able to regain the top spot in the table.

What was obvious in Barcelona’s performance that made them to lose most of their recent game was because of their dependency one player which is actually not a good thing to do. They have been playing a very good game from the start of the season and also got to maintain the first place on the table but when they failed to provide all their players on that match, they lost heavily to Sevilla. Every team’s plan B should be at least close to the strength of their team A, but as the case of Barcelona, they’ve become a weak team that can’t really stand on their own. This is a very serious situation they need to fix as soon as possible or it’ll make their fight for the title tougher.

Teams that beat teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona can unpredictably draw the following week or lose in a match they're favorites. I know this is perhaps one of the reasons why Spanish football is so enjoyable, but I still find it very strange.

Atletico Madrid hasn't been in form this season, but a loss to Real Madrid would be a huge disappointment. So, they played their best against them. Despite their recent draw against Celta Vigo, if Atletico faces another strong team from any league, they'll likely perform differently and exceed expectations. Matches between two strong teams are always highly competitive, which is why their match against Real Madrid was a tough game. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid's performance this season has been disappointing.

The sudden decline in their performance is very surprising because few weeks ago they were doing very well but now their defence is poor and they concede in almost very match. Is the problem of Barcelona injured players? Or is flick not using that same strategies that he has been using for a while. The current problem isn't really clear, their losses to Sevilla was totally unexpected. It's disappointing that they lost to a team that's not in form

I don't see any fault in Flick's strategies. The challenges they face now are due to player injuries. Hansi Flick started fine with his full squad, but they began dropping points as key players got injured. So, the problem isn't Flick's tactics or the players, but rather the injuries. Raphinha and Yamal will be returning against Girona, we can expect an interesting performance from Barcelona. Losing shouldn't be a big deal for now, it's normal in football.

[Adbitco]

Kroos said anyone can beat Barcelona. So why hasn't any team other than Sevilla managed to beat them? Kroos probably still thinks he's playing for Real Madrid or something. Barca has left such a deep wound in him that even though he's retired from football, he keeps bringing up these issues. Well, it's not easy, of course, to watch Barcelona win championships with Messi for years. Now he'll have to watch Barcelona win championships with Yamal and there's nothing he can do about it except make comments like this.

Very funny, so because Barcelona won it last season means they will keep on winning it? Any team can beat any team and that's the truth of the matter. If you guys go ahead talking about how Barcelona beat Real Madrid last season and you forget easily that the previous season Real Madrid beat Barcelona in their 4 different meetings two seasons ago as well. But of course that one has escaped your mind. This is a new season and things will turn out differently. Real Madrid will still maintain their supremacy over Barcelona as the most La Liga winners and it's not even up for a debate that they will still win it this season or the next season, that's a guarantee.

[$weetne$$]

Barcelona's defeats in these two matches clearly demonstrate that the problem isn't in attack, but in defense. In the defeats against PSG and Sevilla, Barcelona's defense was very poor, especially when they failed to use the offside trap. A failed offside trap can be fatal, as the opposition can easily score on the counterattack. Therefore, I believe Flick must thoroughly evaluate his defense during this intermission especially considering the risky offside trap. .

Sometimes defence may not be the problem because one thing I know is that regardless of how tough the defence is, if it is pressured enough, eventually it will be penetrated and a goal will be produced and the only time we tend to witness such often is when the midfield becomes weak, so that top should be considered before shifting all the blames back to the defence, if the  midfield was doing fine too, then the defence will have less pressure to handle and later not have to concede as much goals.

[Mallampue]

Barcelona experienced what Real Madrid experienced last season, namely a storm of injuries, approximately 5 Barcelona core players have been confirmed to be undergoing treatment, of course with this situation when facing Girona they will likely have difficulties but because there is an international break there is enough time for Barcelona to recover their players although it is impossible for all of them to recover. And luckily Girona is also not in the best form, they have suffered more defeats so there is still a big chance for Barcelona to secure 3 points before the crucial match occurs, namely El Clasico.

Injuries are incredibly frustrating, especially when they affect key players like Raphael and Lamine Yamal. They will undoubtedly impact the team's performance. Yamal has been targeted by every team's defenders, as he is one of Barcelona's most influential players, so he must be extremely vigilant to avoid injury in upcoming matches. In a situation like this, Hansi Flik must devise alternative strategies to develop a more effective strategy.

Barcelona's upcoming match against Girona will be straightforward, and I don't think it will be difficult for Barcelona to secure all three points, as they will be playing at home. Furthermore, Girona is also in a precarious situation, meaning they are currently in a slump, which will certainly benefit Barcelona in their quest to return to winning ways.

In the early minutes, Atletico Madrid put pressure on Celta's defense and caused them difficulties, but unfortunately, in the 40th minute, Lenglet received a red card, which disrupted Atletico Madrid's defense, and seeing this opportunity, Celta increased their attacks and put even more pressure on Atletico, but fortunately though they conceded another goal in the second half, they were still able to hold Celta to a draw with 10 players. there were a lot of mistakes made by Atletico Madrid, maybe they took this match too lightly and that makes their game pretty bad.

Hansi Flick seems to have started realizing one of his team current weaknesses, he must find a solution to overcome their dependence on Yamal. On one hand, this shows that Yamal role in Barcelona attacking line is difficult to replace, but on the other hand, it also highlights how Barcelona has failed to play as a collective team and has become overly reliant on their star player.

The defeats against Sevilla in La Liga and PSG in the Champions League will certainly serve as a serious warning for Hansi Flick, and the international break will be the perfect moment for the manager to thoroughly evaluate the team weaknesses. Nevertheless, Barcelona still has a chance to reclaim the top spot in La Liga, as the season is still long, though it won’t be an easy task. The same goes for the Champions League, where Barcelona still has the opportunity to progress further.

Why do you sound so bitter though?

So many ex players make comments in support of their former clubs, and Toni Kroos is no exception. In fact he is one guy who loves throwing banter around in case you are not familiar with him. He did win La Liga and Champion's Leagues titles at Real Madrid. It's not like Barcelona has been the only team winning La Liga for the last 30 years, so what exactly is your point? Do I need to remind you who has the most titles? 

[Sexylizzy2813]

Honestly you really said it correctly, but to some they see Madrid as a team that is progressing this season because they win games, as far as I'm concern Barcelona is a more balanced team than Madrid and since the beginning of this season they have been managing big time. Their defenders are not fit enough for the stress of the season and the attack you talked about, is still not as dominant as they're to be meanwhile the Mbappe you said they depend on is not even the face of the team or should I say the main man, I don't see him as a team player, as Madrid is now with their sluggish movement all they need is playing as a unit not making it look like an individual battle, take a look at Barcelona how they play even their key man play with the whole squad not like he's the only one to make things happen, that's why you can predict who's going to get the ball and put it at the back of the net. Madrid needs a lot to make the team stand as the best, even when Ronaldo was at the side, he wasn't playing like a one man team but as a unit, Mbappe is not like he was so now he wants to impress not doing things together with his teammates.

And if you look at it Madrid is progressing and we should not be surprised that Alonso have his own plan coming up. So we should not even underestimate Barcelona too but for the main time I don't think Barcelona is balanced than real madrid currently because from the look of things Madrid is winning more games than Barcelona which is giving them more advantage than Barcelona this is something we can all see there is nothing to argue about at the moment this is even aside am a Madrid fan but this is something we are all seeing. And both Madrid and Barcelona are managing there defense but even at that Real Madrid is still winning games compare to Barcelona.

And it's seems you are a Barcelona fan because the way you are defending them even when they are losing points. There is point that Madrid have become a sluggish club and Mbappe performance was expected to be better than this we all knew how Mbappe plays for psg and not its a whole struggle but even in the midst of all this I think the young man his still doing everything he can. So there is a lot of open opportunities for Madrid to continue winning at least that should boost confidence in winning more games.

If Madrid are getting more winning than Barcelona then why is it just 2pt they are using to be ahead of Barcelona? Madrid has not drew any game yet and they have 1 loss same as Barcelona and out of 8 games played this campaign in the la Liga Madrid have won 7 while Barca have won 6, same number of lost games so how is Madrid winning more than Barca? 21pt and Barcelona are still much close to Madrid and I'll say this again the league leaders are under pressure they will be because each game they play now they'll be very careful not to lose or draw and that's where the mistakes comes in because they know how Barcelona can be. When Barcelona will host Girona after the break you'd see how desperate Madrid will be if Barcelona get a win and you'd also see how stubborn Getafe would become against Madrid.
How I wish I'm a fan of Barcelona, you said I'm defending them in as much as they are losing point, please how many games have Barcelona lost this season? Just 1pt and is the same as your favorite club Madrid, it is clear that Barcelona are still in a better shape than Madrid and if I'm a fan I'd drop this aside and say it as it is. I know that you know very well that Madrid are struggling and it will be a luck for you guys to win the league title this season.
For Mbappe,, he is trying but he shouldn't put much pressure on himself, honestly speaking I prefer the Mbappe of PSG than the one I'm seeing at Madrid or maybe they sold a different Mbappe to Madrid. The game is simply, do it as you have been doing it and so it's better not to change how you play not because you play for Madrid, he's losing his ability to be a good player and a leader, let me tell you something...I love watching Madrid play because of Mbappe and Vinicus Jr including Bellingham too...but when I don't see those abilities they [Mbappe and Vinicus Jr] have in a game and I'm seeing something different it pisses me off, if I'm lying watch Vinicus Jr when he plays a long side Benzema and watch Mbappe when he was at Monaco and PSG, come back and check them out as they play now at Madrid.

Yes he is genius, but club depends on him too much. Recent losses at Sevilla and PSG were big warnings that show that team is not playing as group, and it has been shown that when Yamal is stopped, whole attack falls apart, which means that team has one and one easily used weakness. International break that is coming is best chance that Flick can fix this by finding other ways of scoring that does not only rely on Yamal but also by giving other players such as Raphinha or Pedri more important roles. Although Barcelona still has chance to win La Liga and move forward in Champions League, main job of Flick now is to make sure that team is no longer one man show but other starts to play as strong and full team other than depending on single star player.

The same goes for the Champions League, where Barcelona still has the opportunity to progress further.

Hansi Flick try to tell apprise us about the condition of the team, indirectly informing us that there's solid foundation for Barcelona without the presence of Lamine Yamal? Oh NO because I can't believe this. What's happening to the club? How are they unable to meet up with the standards of winning games lately because most of their players are injured. This is never the team we all anticipated to watch this season following their previous magnificent performances last season, one could possibly think they're prepared to be the very best Team and winning is prioritized.

Barcelona weaknesses is now spotted widely and every teams that comes their way is getting leaked information and using a particular strategy to handle and trash Barcelona. Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain did exactly the same thing and I see no reason why Real Madrid wouldn't do it in the upcoming EI Classico.

[Tamaperdana]

If there is any time more sooting to win this Barcelona side then it's actually this particular time because they are currently struggling with their form and experiencing two defeats in a row is something that's gonna affect them mentally and psychological too and it's just immediately at the international break so Real Madrid will be have all the opportunity to win them because the records are currently not looking good for them comparing the stats of last season to this one.

After the international break we will certainly have the chance to see the teams as they really are because then it will be the end of the national team commitments and they will concentrate 100 percent on the championship, hoping that none of the clubs get injured, it happens often.

Barcelona's performance is currently not very good, and as we know, they have really struggled in their last few matches. However, I personally believe that after this international break, Barcelona's performance will return to its best. Usually, a team's performance improves after the international break, as they are undoubtedly training and rebuilding their mentality, which will undoubtedly be a little less than ideal at this time. So, with that in mind, I'm confident that Barcelona will return to their best form. They certainly don't want to continue experiencing embarrassing defeats like the ones they've experienced recently.



Furthermore, after this international break, Barcelona will face Girona. I think this match will be a great way for Barcelona to rebuild their confidence. I'm confident that Barcelona will win against Girona. Therefore, this match will be very good for Barcelona to start recovering from their poor form. It seems their key players, who are currently injured, are expected to be back in action in October. So, with that in place, Barcelona's performance will undoubtedly return to its impressive form, just like at the start of the season. With that in mind, I'm even more confident that Barcelona will bounce back after this international break.

Yes, in this match, the Atletico Madrid players underestimated their opponents, Celta, and ultimately failed to secure the full three points because of it. So, I think the Atletico Madrid players should take this as a lesson. The bottom line is, whoever they face, never underestimate them. After all, all the teams in La Liga right now are quite formidable. Even a big team like Atletico Madrid can struggle if they underestimate their opponents. So, it's a shame that Atletico Madrid couldn't secure the full three points in this match. They were in excellent form, hoping to climb the table. But with this obstacle, I think their concentration will be slightly distorted.

Furthermore, Atletico Madrid likely has a friendly against Inter Milan in a few days. I think this is a good opportunity to keep the players consistent despite the international break.

Why are you so confident that Barcelona will improve again after the international break? What if some of their players get injured during the international match, wouldn't that be detrimental?

The match against Girona should be an opportunity to restore their confidence, as if they lose points again, it could affect their mentality, and that is clearly not good, because in the continuation of the La Liga match, Barcelona will travel to Real Madrid. Barcelona did have a good record when playing against Real Madrid last season, but if their performance is only like this, then I doubt they can repeat their success last season.
