La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Altryist]

This is why sometimes teams do wish it were possible they keep their players back because some times International break can coat them a whole lot actually and this is one of such situations but luckily for Real Madrid it's one that will not keep him out of the pitch of play for just too long. For Barcelona I just hope they are able to actually take advantage of this and get their points stacked up because even Barcelona can sometimes be unpredictable.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have a lot of players on international duty, so any rest during this break for international matches will be relative. I think Alonso and Flick are even more concerned about their players avoiding injury in these matches than about them returning tired. Right now, the gap between them is only two points, which isn't much, and in two weeks, El Clasico will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu, and if Real manages to win, things will get tougher for Barcelona. But I don't think Real Madrid is that strong right now, even though Barcelona lost their last two matches.

I still think it's the team decision to let the player go, if the team decide that they don't want their players to participate in international game and it's binded in the contract, they dare not violate the rules. The only disadvantage of this is that when other players are competing at the international level for trophies and award night, they wouldn't be included. It's going to be embarrassing to see top player like Mbape get excluded because his club didn't allow him.

What I know is that injury is unavoidable, particularly if the player suffered for one for years. It takes month and years for a player to fully recover. I remembered when Real Madrid had to stop using Hazard at one point because of the long unhealed injuries, they had to bench him completely but I believed Mbape will be fine. My concern now is how the team is going to handle El clasico in by next 2 weeks but if he is able to recover before that time then lucky the team.

Mbappe has a right ankle injury, a recurring injury that's likely not serious.
International breaks can sometimes have negative consequences for teams, but sometimes they can be detrimental. Real Madrid is certainly the team at a disadvantage, but if Mbappe's injury is short-lived, I don't think it will have a major impact.

On the other hand, I think Barcelona has a slight advantage due to the international break. Their form has been very poor, and their confidence has plummeted after two consecutive defeats. With the international break, I think they have plenty of time to resolve these issues.

The Real Madrid team is not like the Barcelona team, Barcelona seems to have built the team around lamine yamal which is actually not good enough for the team, but in the Real Madrid team they have lots of star players are there to deliver I know Mbappe's injury might quite have an effect on the team but not that much and again it will kind of set him back a bit in terms of running for the highest goal scorre in that league and in my own side I will some how find their games not much interesting because the vinicius Jr and Mbappe's combination is something else and I enjoy watching them.

Yeah you are very right this is one of the reasons why some coach may even want their players not to go for international matches so they won't get injured however one cannot say a player should not go and represent his country because of club matches, I think the countries matches are more important just take a look at the world cup right now it is more valued for a player to win the world cup than any League trophy or even the champions League, it is a big problem however there is nothing that can be done about it.
As for Barcelona they just need to put yourself in order they still have good players that they can use all they need now is to put them together and bring up a new tactics that can help them, however this season because of injury I don't think Barcelona may have the chance to lift the la Liga league title, Real Madrid has more chance to do that right now and they should not play with that chance they should grab it with everything they got.

[Just Say]

The injury of Yamal may not be the only reason why the performance of Barcelona is declining but you will agree that it's also the major reason why they lost against PSG and the lost against PSG affected them in the game against Sevilla so the presence of the young star is felt when he's feet to play but when he's not in the team you see a lot of difference in the team. In the champions League Barcelona still have the opportunity to come out of the group stage but in the league they may have to improve because if they lose against Real Madrid in their up coming game they will be 5 points behind Real Madrid and it will affect their chances.

Barcelona have definitely been a bit weaker in attack due to Lamine Yamal's injury, here we can also mention Rafinha. Even among the reasons for the losses against PSG and Sevilla, their defenders have to be mentioned. I think that was the main reason, they played very badly in the defensive line, this may have been due to their off-form. Losing two games in a row is definitely a cause for concern, especially after taking the top spot in the league and letting it go to Real Madrid again. They still have a chance in the Champions League, I don't worry too much about the Champions League. Because Hansi Flick is the best at winning big games.

This is like overconfidence in some cases, even so you may have some misconceptions about this group because Hansi Flick has suffered a defeat in his first big match of the season, so how can you say that he is the best at winning big matches? Even this team must be worried about the Champions League match because they did not get what was expected of them last season, even in this new season, their situation is not favorable. Sometimes it must be considered how they will cope with the mental and spectator pressure of a match when the entire team goes off form because of two players. So without further ado, we have to accept that Barcelona has weaknesses in finding replacement players.

[Rockson1]

You are absolutely right. Real Madrid and Barcelona are still leading this season, but other teams like Girona, Real Sociedad, and even Bilbao are becoming more dangerous than we can ever imagine. Because of their strategy and tactics, they are giving a different impression from the other teams in the league. That is why I still believe that the game between Barcelona and Girona won’t be an easy one, as Barcelona might find it very hard to win against Girona in that game. We all know that Barcelona are having some backlash in their performance, which Girona can use as an opportunity to dominate the game. But let’s wait and see how the game will be.

Both teams you listed being Realmadrid and Barcelona are at the top for the season but Barcelona are separately not doing well and as it is we can say they might slide further if good measures are not taking to prevent such from taking place, you mentioned some teams here without mentioning Athletico Madrid that is also in a good form, dude I never expected the lock horns that will be involving Barcelona and Giroma be a free scale though for Barcelona, Barcelona recent performance alone will make anyone think in doubtful direction, I don't think Barcelona will even win that match with this there current style of play, although football is we can't conclude easily but we still have to exores our fear.

[Bigjoe33]

Barcelona can't dwell on a single game, yes losing to Sevilla that way was something that crushes the morale of a team, but that is how a great team is made, come back from that and be better. Everyone has bad days, it is not unique to Barcelona, we have to realize no matter who you are, you could have a terrible result.

It doesn't mean you are a bad team, it just means that day you were bad but normally they are great. Combined with the comeback loss to PSG back to back, it looks like they have some morale issues. If Barcelona could trust themselves and their talents again and play the way they normally play, I guarantee you that they are going to be big favourites both for UCL and La Liga, they just need to gain some confidence.

I disagree that Barcelona's result was a bad day. If it were simply a bad day, the result should have been Sevilla 2 - 1 Barcelona, ​​or at most, Sevilla 3 - 1 Barcelona. But was that the result? no, right?

Even though Barcelona dominated the match, they made numerous errors that led to goals scored by Sevilla players. This team is in complete disarray right now & if they don't improve soon, I think we can already consider Real Madrid as the strongest contender for the La Liga title.

It has always been between them, Real or Barcelona. The Laliga title has seen no greater force more than the one form these two teams. They are strong rivlas for each other. For me, I love it when the challenge for the title cuts across few other teams not just between two or three. Athletico Madrid used to be in the fight, and some other teams, but Real Madrid and Barcelona will always over power them and end up taking the title home. The likes of Girona, real Sociedad, Sevilla, Villareal, Valencia and few others will only prove tough for few months and die off. The real title contenders have always been Real and Barcelona.

So, anyone of them that's wants to lift the trophy this season will be the one that's more consistent in winning. There weekend games are a most win for them else, your rival closes the gap, of extends the gap, like that of Arsenal and Liverpool in the EPL fight. We are only getting started anyways, but a good season starts for a club starts very early, the both teams are aware already. We anticipate the El-classico, the matter of supremacy will be settled there, at least for now

[Abdulzuruku01]

To me, Barcelona’s biggest problem right now is clearly the defence. The Barcelona I grew up watching always start their attack from the back. But I have not seen that same stability so far this season. Conceding four goals against Sevilla was very much painful and embarrassing. That’s not the Barcelona I know!

People keep blaming the attack because Lamine and Raphinha are out injured, but I don’t personally think that’s the real problem.. Yes, their absence matters, but let’s be honest. When the defence is shaky, the whole team feels it.

Even the midfield and attack lose confidence. I have always believed that a good Barcelona performance starts with a solid backline, and until Flick gets that right, Barcelona will keep struggling no matter who plays up front.

I know it's normal to lose in football, but it was really disappointing for Barcelona to conceded four goals against Sevilla, and with the challenges in the UEFA Champions League this season, whenever I think of Barcelona's defensive line, it makes me doubt their performance to defend against big matches, especially in the Champions League, because we know how tough the Champions League is this season.

El clasico match will be challenging and exciting because of what Barcelona did to Real Madrid previous season for losing all the El Clasico meetings to Barcelona, which Madrid felt very disappointing. Real Madrid will do everything to beat Barcelona, and based on my prediction for that game, I think Real Madrid will be more lucky than Barcelona.

The players needed to rest during this break. Since they not only have to play nationally but also have to keep international matters in mind, the most important thing at the moment is that they do not get injured. Maybe the coaches of their respective teams are doing what they should by saving as much as possible and putting good players on the field. Because no matter how tired they are, they will be able to play. However, if a player gets injured in any way, it will definitely be disappointing for the entire team. At the moment, it is a difficult time for both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Because there is not much difference between them. Real Madrid will definitely try to maintain their position, while Barcelona will try to move forward.

International duties are important as playing club matches. It is the same for every league not just La Liga, players from other teams are also representing their countries, they will all take the same short span break, before returning to the pitch. Two days or three may not be enough but that bit of time can help them regenerate strength to perform, all the club wishes for is the players to return back injury free.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona El Clasico, once again we will have to predict what the outcome will be. Real Madrid are not yet performing well to believe they can defeat Barcelona in the game, with Barcelona little players issue, they may not outperform Madrid totally like in past season, a tie in the match might be considered, or Real Madrid defending their home match.

The problem is that the current overly busy schedule is having a very negative impact on the club's performance. Even though they can rest during the international break, they have important fixtures in the Champions League and several other competitions.
This is a tough task for all coaches, including Hansi Flick, who must carefully manage the playing time of key players.
I think after this international break, Barcelona will have a La Liga schedule, and he will likely field some substitutes to replace the first-team players who are playing in the Champions League. Real Madrid will probably do the same.

That's true because sometimes there are actions that is taken by some of the coaches of these clubs where the players reside that  makes it obvious that every coach if it was just up to them they would have stopped every single player from actually doing their duty just because of the fear that a result to possible injury might occur. Injury is one of the thing that makes a strong team become weak and it gets worse if you don't have a back up player to substitute in.

Hmm so Real Madrid performance so far hasn't convinced you? Yes I understand, but the real shame about this El Clasico match is that both teams might not field their best lineups due to the significant number of injuries in their respective camps, meaning we won't be treated to the usual heated El Clasico derby. As for the prediction, a draw seems fair, but I still have a lot of faith in Real Madrid and hope they can exploit Barcelona defensive weaknesses.

Madrid has played 10 official matches (La Liga and Champions League) and has only lost once in those 10 matches. I don't understand why Real Madrid is said to be not yet performing well.

They are currently in pretty good shape. Okay, maybe in some people's view, good play should encompass the whole picture, such as ball possession from the start, unmatched determination, or perhaps not being attacked, but in the end, as long as they win, and they have won 9 times so far, that means they are in good shape.

Perhaps the loss to Atlético could be a reason here, but was Barcelona’s performance good enough when they lost to Sevilla?
I think the dissatisfaction with Madrid right now is unfounded and seems to imply that there are still complaints, even though everything still looks good.

I think Real Madrid's performance has been excellent, with only one defeat. That's understandable, as every team experiences ups and downs in their performance. However, Real Madrid only lost against Atletico Madrid, and they managed to regain their victory in the following match. If they were to ask the team to maintain their impressive performance with consecutive wins, I think it would be very difficult.

Real Madrid have won both Champions League matches, clearly showing their focus on the Champions League. Real Madrid remains very strong, despite the departure of their senior players in the summer transfer window, but their performance hasn't declined. That's their strength in maintaining a stable and strong performance this season. Xabi Alonso is a great coach, and I'm sure he will bring success to Real Madrid this season.

Exactly what I’ve been saying, the defence is a problem has been a problem and will continue to be a problem until it’s resolved, I’m beginning to think they shouldn’t have let Inigo Martinez go, there’s poor communication and the high line is beginning to go against us. A new strategy should be implemented to bring out the best of our defenders, they have quality but have somewhat been messy. We have more than enough firepower in the attack and midfield. It was so sad to see Marcus Rashford score his first goal on a day that we were walloped by a struggling Sevilla, that’s enough to show you there’s a serious problem at Barcelona. Though if Lewy had scored that goal it would have been a different ballgame.

I think they are not entertained on the fact that Real Madrid isn't making noise as they are playing like people expect them. When Barcelona win games, they make noise as if they are already winning the trophy but when Real Madrid win, they don't bother to want to drag it with anyone, they are just happy they won and move to the next one but if it's Barcelona and Atletico Madrid players, they will idolized that game and rub it on every Real Madrid fans.

I still love the fact that Barcelona were humble by Sevilla when everyone thinks they are the best but they are not. They are just lucky team that are hot now that heavily dependent on Raphina and Yamal, without those two the team isn't completed but if it's Real Madrid we're to be in there shoe, they can win any game without any big players in Real Madrid that's why I'm not worried where Real Madrid stands now in the table because I can see some people are already in panic because Mbape had injury even though it's a minor one.

It's true, it's very difficult to go undefeated in every match, even though Real Madrid has a fairly good squad. However, I think what disappointed many was perhaps Real Madrid big loss to Atletico, a result that should never have happened.
It's perfectly realistic for Real Madrid to aim to win La Liga and the Champions League this season, considering they've spent a significant amount of money building a fairly lavish squad.
Xabi Alonso certainly understands the demands of the club top brass, but if his key players are frequently injured like last season, I think it will be very difficult to achieve that.

[$weetne$$]

The Real Madrid team is not like the Barcelona team, Barcelona seems to have built the team around lamine yamal which is actually not good enough for the team, but in the Real Madrid team they have lots of star players are there to deliver I know Mbappe's injury might quite have an effect on the team but not that much and again it will kind of set him back a bit in terms of running for the highest goal scorre in that league and in my own side I will some how find their games not much interesting because the vinicius Jr and Mbappe's combination is something else and I enjoy watching them.

This is even know recent times because Barcelona was not like this before, they did equally had the almost same level of importance and relevance spread equally amongst all of their players until this time that they now partially center it around yamal due to his exceptionality but I think  that will not be the cadd soon because we have the likes of rashford and others rising to the the front to lead the team with their brilliance in performance too.

Xabi Alonso certainly understands the demands of the club top brass, but if his key players are frequently injured like last season, I think it will be very difficult to achieve that.

Xabi Alonso simply needs to implement a more perfect player rotation so he doesn't face injuries midway through the season, as Real Madrid did last season. Real Madrid's squad is in good shape this season, but Xabi Alonso still needs to polish it so Real Madrid can be in truly prime condition and avoid fatal errors in crucial matches. And actually, Real Madrid's desired targets are always realistic based on their capabilities, but I really want to see Real Madrid achieve a treble winner in any season because that is something that Real Madrid has not achieved so far.
