La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[banana33]

The season is long, and one defeat even it is a big loss, does not destroy all this season for Atletico Madrid. They still have many matches in both La Liga and UEFA Champions League to play, and whether this season is a successful or failed one, let's wait for the season endings and make conclusion. Before the season ending, Atletico Madrid must stay focused and play as best as possible for winning matches to battles.

You can't decide a season based on everything that happens in a match that was also difficult to face, because an away match in England is always difficult, but now it's not over, they are still in the running to win the championship, even if it is very difficult. It's not about experience but about how they approached the match, also because it's a match perfectly suited to them and this shouldn't affect the outcome of the match. However, this is something that upsets all the plans. Now i think there's a rampant factor in Atletico and they're completely losing their game.

[ibuddy122505]

The first El Classico of the season would be the real test for the two teams and give us an insight of which team could win the league. The match would also decide who leads the table as even though Barcelona has 2 less points, a win would put them ahead of Real Madrid while a draw a lose would keep Real Madrid on the top spot. Whatever be the result, the race for the league title between the two teams won't be over soon.
We were talking about Atletico losing its position but it seems they too are headed to their usual third position.

El Clasico will always be an exciting match. If Madrid wins the game, they might continue to lead the standings throughout the season. Madrid is performing better this season, but regardless, their opponent is a rival, and both will give everything they have to win. Especially Barcelona, as they are still a few points behind. So they might strive to win, or a draw could be a safe result.

El Clasico is always a thrilling showdown, and Barcelona could really use a win against Real Madrid to climb the La Liga standings. But, Real Madrid seems to be prioritizing this match even more, especially after their recent match against Juventus. It looks like they rested key players to ensure their stars are fresh for this clash. While beating Barcelona doesn't guarantee a trophy, but this victory mean everything to both sides.

Real Madrid are fully ready to face Barcelona this weekend because Real Madrid have lost against Barcelona back to back last season, and they will do all there best to achieve the three point at home. Barcelona are still in good form and they can get the point against Real Madrid but since they have change the coach  he will used different methods to defeat Barcelona this time around. Let see who will get the three point but since real madrid are playing at home I get the believe that xabi Alonso will get the victory. Real Madrid are leading by two point in the league table and if madrid get the victory at home they will be the favorite to win the league competition this season. That will be the toughest match this weekend to watch but if Barcelona get the chance to defeat Real Madrid this weekend this will be a shame to the fans and the players.

Xabi Alonso will definitely want to win the first El Clasico. It will be an honor for him. Because Madrid's only rival in La Liga is Barcelona. Also, Madrid has lost every match against Barcelona in the last season. Real Madrid will want to take revenge for the previous defeat. If Madrid can win the next El Clasico, it will be Mbappe and Xabi Alonso's first win against Barcelona. The Madrid boss and Madrid's main striker will definitely give their full effort to win. But it is difficult to win against Hansi Flick's match strategy. We saw last season that Ancelotti was helpless against Flick's match strategy. Can Xabi Alonso create a suitable match strategy to defeat Barcelona in this match?

[HajiBagi]

The current condition of these two clubs make the match unpredictable because we don't know the list of players featuring in the match. Some players are on injury and some are back from injury. Real Madrid need to work hard on themselves to keep their defense tight in order to aviod Barcelona penetrating easily with counter attacks.

That's true, and their match will be very interesting because Real Madrid's performance hasn't been perfect this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona is still suffering from injuries to several players often relied upon by their coach, so the intensity of this match is likely to be much greater than last season. I also hope Real Madrid doesn't make any fatal mistakes, because Barcelona is still a strong team this season in La Liga, despite its current position in second place.

If Real Madrid fail to beat Barcelona in El Classico that means all Real Madrid players are not serious, Real Madrid has more chances to win the match because Barcelona is still suffering from injuries and with the kind of performance I see with Real Madrid since the beginning of the season they can defeat Barcelona, many many teams that are not in the level of Real Madrid have defeated Barcelona this season and if Real Madrid fail it will be a very disappointing result for the team.

Another reason why i want Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona is because of the way Yamal is disrespecting Real Madrid, Yamal and other Barcelona players has been talking bad about Real Madrid to the extent of Yamal calling Real Madrid as a thief club and they are still complaining, Real Madrid players need to show Yamal that Real Madrid is bigger than Barcelona in any level, I believe if this was the prime Ramos and Pepe Yamal will never disrespect Real Madrid because he knows what those guys will do to him.

[M47AK16]

You can see the latest news here: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1981519521128337724, where TAA, Huijsen, and Carvajal have returned to training and will be ready for El Clasico. This gives Xabi plenty of options to build a solid defense. Mbappé, Vini, Arda, and Bellingham can focus on building a more powerful attack. Facing Barcelona requires extra energy, fast attacks, solid defense, exploiting gaps, and a perfect balance of shooting accuracy.

TAA and Huijsen is very important. They really needed those, with TAA and Carvajal out at the same time, they didn't had any proper rigtht back, and now TAA is back he could do a wonderful job, shouldn't be an issue. But when we are talking about Huijsen, he will be amazing for them because they are lacking Alaba and Rudiger too if I am not mistaken, so they really need a centre for sure.

This is going to be a decent situation for them, not lacking these players in that game will bring them a lot, they should be happy about it. Because if they had injuries like this against Barcelona, a loss would have been a lot more likely, no matter what the odds say, but now that they have these players, a win chance is possible.

[Just Say]

Another reason why i want Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona is because of the way Yamal is disrespecting Real Madrid, Yamal and other Barcelona players has been talking bad about Real Madrid to the extent of Yamal calling Real Madrid as a thief club and they are still complaining, Real Madrid players need to show Yamal that Real Madrid is bigger than Barcelona in any level, I believe if this was the prime Ramos and Pepe Yamal will never disrespect Real Madrid because he knows what those guys will do to him.

Literally Real Madrid are fully prepared to face Lamine Yamal's team this weekend but do you know these unwanted comments and accusations will greatly increase the heat of the clash in the new season's El Clasico match and it could leave Real Madrid mentally devastated in the upcoming El Clasico game. Before this controversial accusation, I could never have imagined that a Spanish teenage player would show such low regard for their rival club. You may be hearing about his comments for the first time because this teenager had made harsh comments about Madrid before.

Barcelona Football Club is having a good time and every player on their team is fired up to perform. So the upcoming El Clasico match will be the most crazy atmosphere but at this stage it seems that the Catalan club could fall behind because after finishing training today, the Brazilian player has experienced new physical problems, so I guess Los Blancos will have to protest this and Madrid will have to develop a suitable El Clasico match strategy.

Can Xabi Alonso create a suitable match strategy to defeat Barcelona in this match?

Alonso is a new manager at Real Madrid but he also has experience and uses different tactics. Alonso knows very well that Flick is an experienced and great coach and he must have the best preparation against his tactics and learn from the mistakes of last season. Barcelona prepared very well before the El Clasico match by winning against Olympiacos by a huge goal difference but Real Madrid only won against Juventus. Their performance was not good as they only managed to score one goal. I think Barcelona will not be able to win against Real Madrid this season easily as last season. Alonso will definitely use counter tactics to win with Hansi Flick team.

Can Xabi Alonso create a suitable match strategy to defeat Barcelona in this match?

That is the first question to ask, can Xabi Alonso create a suitable match strategy to defeat Flick’s strategy? We can’t say, but we will wait and watch how the game will be. All I know is that El Classico this season will be more competitive than the previous season due to some reasons, which you have also mentioned, like what happened last season when Ancelotti was the coach of the team, and it was the first season for Mbappe. Xabi will want to prove that he can defeat Flick’s strategy, and the Real Madrid players will want to take their revenge for the previous season. So, this El Classico will definitely be a hot cake, as Real Madrid has a point to prove, same as Barcelona.

[slapper]

For some reason, I really feel it would be a smart move if Hansi Flick starts Rony ahead of Lamine Yamal in the El clasico on sunday. Watching Yamal against Olympiacos, it really looked like he was more focused on proving a point than helping the team. You could tell he just wanted to score so he could dedicatet the goal to his girlfriend, Nicki Nicole.

That’s fine in a normal match, but El Clasico is different... It’s not a game for selfish play or personal glory. It’s a match where every player has to give their all for the team. We all saw how Rony completely changed the energy on the right wing when he replaced Yamal towards the end of the second half of the game.

He brought more hunger, movement, and teamwork and even assisted Fermin Lopez. That’s exactly what Barcelona needs for a big game like the El clasico. Seriously I’d really love to see Flick give him the start over Yamal this time.

For the fact the Roony Bardghji performed better than Lamine Yamal when he was brought in as a substitute does not mean that he will do the same if he becomes a starter in a big game like the El Clasico. He is just new to Barcelona which is the reason for his hunger and energy to deliver his position. Despite that Lamine Yamal wasn't that dangerous as he used to be doesn't mean that Roony Bardghji is now better. Lamine Yamal have been in Barcelona before the arrival of Roony Bardghji so he has much more experience in the El Clasico and will likely want to prove himself that day. That notwithstanding, Lamine Yamal just returned to the squad after a break due to injury so the match against Olympiakos was just to test his fitness as against the El Clasico, i believe he will do better.

I recall the time when Ansu appeared. Twenty minutes later, same YouTube clips, same buzz, against the fatigued legs. But El Clasico doesn't give a damn about learning curves. You will not feel that until you have heard the Bernabeu boo your first mis-control

Yamal has already experienced that. He has heard the sound, he has scored in it, even he has survived those groin problems and media battles between Spain and Barca regarding his fitness. That in itself tells me he is wired differently. He is not 100 percent yet, yeah, but at 80 percent he makes the left side of Madrid bend their entire shape

In the case of Bardghji, it is also not a downgrade thing. Timing is. Let Yamal roast Carreras an hour, let him have him run after shadows, and then Bardghji arrives when the lungs of that full-back are exhausted. It is then that the directness of the kid literally kills. Start him now and he has only running into fresh legs and expectation. Take him away later and he is a revelation once more

That is the way you win El Clasico and you do not break either kid

I have heard something like Sevilla have the least wage budget limit in the La Liga with 22 million euros this season. Is this really correct? 

If it is then they are doing a really good work despite being in really bad financial condition. They are in top 10 now and you know how they destroyed Barcelona home by 4-1 recently too. But let's see how long they keep it up...

It’s true  their budget is exactly €22 million. When you think about it, that’s really little for a club of that size. The only thing that matters is that they’re still playing great football and, as you said, they’re in the top 10. Considering they finished 17th in the table last season, this is a good result. Also, since they’re not playing in European competitions and haven’t really gone after many signings, given such a small budget, they’re doing an excellent job.

[bitgolden]

The same goes for Barcelona. Their defense sometimes isn't very good. So, basically, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have weaknesses that can be exploited by both teams. Now it just depends on how the coaches prepare their best tactics ahead of El Clasico. I just hope this El Clasico delivers a true battle with the intense drama they're known for, as that's the main reason El Clasico is considered the best derby.

I wouldn't bet on this match because it's unpredictable since both teams are not in their best form. The team with the right strategy will be the one to outplay the other and win the game. I don't think that this match will end in a draw. If Barcelona wins the match, they'll take over the first position from Real Madrid. This is the reason why Madrid will fight with their last breath to the end.

Every El classico is like that, you never know which one will win and you just end up hoping that you are right. Because of how weak the defenses now right at this moment and how strong the offenses are for both team, I think the smarter decision would be betting on over.

That way, you can play 2.5 over and you could be right, three goals in this game doesn't look that unlikely and could probably happen very easily. Doesn't matter who wins, doesn't matter who is on their good day, as long as they score that means they would do fine and we shouldn't be shocked about it. I know that this is going to end up with some bad results one way or another but at the end of the day it's going to be something that will take a while.

Real Madrid certainly wants to win their first El Clasico of the season. They're also highly motivated to avenge their last season's loss against Barcelona. Xabi Alanso must provide effective guidance in this match, especially at home. The mental aspect of the game and the atmosphere will be a major factor in the fan base. Real Madrid must capitalize on small details like this to secure victory.

In terms of preparation Real Madrid appears to be better prepared, with many of their squad members having recovered from injuries. Barcelona will also face El Clasico with a strong squad with many players having recovered from injuries. However Real Madrid still has an advantage in this match because Barcelona's appeal against Hansi Flick's red card has been rejected. Therefore Barcelona will face El Clasico without Flick on the sidelines, as he is banned from team attendance for one match.

You're right, both teams need a win in El Clasico, regardless of who ultimately wins the title. There's prestige involved in this match and their rivalry tends to make for a tense and exciting match. Real Madrid are certainly slight favorites to win, especially since they're playing at home. Their chances of winning aren't particularly high, but considering Barcelona is still missing several key players, the bookmakers seem to favor Real Madrid.

I'm not side for Real Madrid in that El Clasico, which means I'm side for Barcelona, ​​hoping to win. Hansi Flick needs to prove once again that Barcelona hasn't lost its edge despite losing several players to injury. The team's goal scoring record so far has been good, but Flick needs to be wary of his defense, as it's been lacking so far.

Sevilla is not really having serious problems and I think the have more problems off the pitch than they have on the pitch, one thing that got me surprised is when they sold their best player last season the Belgian player Lukebakio.
Losing quality player when you are struggling is a very negative thing to do. But recently Sevilla hasn't been too poor on the pitch and I think they should but off pitch matters away from their mind.

Xabi Alonso will definitely want to win the first El Clasico. It will be an honor for him. Because Madrid's only rival in La Liga is Barcelona. Also, Madrid has lost every match against Barcelona in the last season. Real Madrid will want to take revenge for the previous defeat.

But it is difficult to win against Hansi Flick's match strategy. We saw last season that Ancelotti was helpless against Flick's match strategy. Can Xabi Alonso create a suitable match strategy to defeat Barcelona in this match?

Yeah, Alonso will like to do everything possible to win their upcoming match against Barcelona, and that’s why I’m expecting the match to be a very tough one for both of them because all the teams are in their best form currently now in this La Liga. Both of them would like to win, and in football, one thing can definitely happen: either lose or win.

The gap points between Real Madrid and Barcelona is only two; that is why Barcelona will want to defeat Real Madrid in order to secure the straight three points, but we should never make early predictions. Let us wait and see what can actually happen in the match.

[Stormisover]

I also hope Real Madrid doesn't make any fatal mistakes, because Barcelona is still a strong team this season in La Liga, despite its current position in second place.

I just can't wait till Sunday to view this amazing game of the week, you're actually right this season El Clasico is really unpredictable like we can't tell the winner unless they game is already played, and indeed Real Madrid actually need to work on their defense to avoid same humiliation of last season that Barcelona trashed them home and away in all four times they met last season, talking about injury I think Real Madrid is more injury free than Barcelona like they've got their complete squad on the pitch but I some of Barcelona key players are still on injury so it's still gonna affect Barcelona in one or two ways, but let's just keep calm and watch how it goes.

[Ahli38]

That is what I have heard too. Sevilla has actually become the club with the third-largest salary increase this season. But their salary cap is still very low and even they have let go of some of their key players (Source). Even so they were still able to perform at their best thanks to their teamwork. And they also managed to defeat Barcelona by a considerable margin some time ago. But we know that Barcelona was not in good shape at the time by having lost several players to injury and even experiencing a decline in performance due to their divided focus between La Liga and the Champions League. What's more Barcelona had just suffered a home defeat to PSG. And these circumstances caused them to experience a decline in performance and even team confidence.

Sevilla is currently playing at Real Sociedad's home ground. Real Sociedad took a 1-0 lead over Sevilla in the nineteenth minute with a penalty goal. But Sevilla managed to equalize in the 30th minute. It's quite nerve-wracking to watch this match unfold. And I think this match is also a chance for Sevilla to prove their greatness despite their limitations. The first half may end with the same result. But I'm sure Sevilla will surprise us or even win this match. Let's see.

Isn't about Real Madrid being willing to win the EL classico match against their opponent team Barcelona, are they really prepared enough to face Barcelona to the extent of getting a victory? because in as much they are willing to win that game, same is Barcelona willingness to defeat them and maintain their recent dominance record over Real Madrid and remain the dominant team in the La Liga competition.

I also hope Real Madrid doesn't make any fatal mistakes, because Barcelona is still a strong team this season in La Liga, despite its current position in second place.

We can say that the teams' strengths are almost equal. I believe Real Madrid and Barcelona are two teams of equal strength. The team on the better side will win in the match between them. Barcelona also has a chance to win against Real Madrid. While they haven't been very effective in scoring, their matches against each other are often high in goals. Perhaps we'll see something similar happen again.

The first El Classico of the season would be the real test for the two teams and give us an insight of which team could win the league. The match would also decide who leads the table as even though Barcelona has 2 less points, a win would put them ahead of Real Madrid while a draw a lose would keep Real Madrid on the top spot. Whatever be the result, the race for the league title between the two teams won't be over soon.
We were talking about Atletico losing its position but it seems they too are headed to their usual third position.

The upcoming match is very important for both the teams. Real Madrid, who are ahead of Barcelona in the points table, will try to maintain their position. On the other hand, Barcelona will also try their best to rise to the top. So, it is expected that the performance of both the teams will be very good and the audience will enjoy it. However, despite the weaknesses of both the teams, time will tell who will finally win the crown.
