La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[len01]

i think most people consider atlético to be the big favorite, but i think this match will end in a high-scoring draw or a real betis victory. atlético madrid hasn't won any of their four away games this season, while real betis has been in good form in recent weeks. in their last meeting, atlético madrid scored four goals, but i think things will be different this time.

if i had to predict a score for the match, i'd say 2-2 or 2-1 for real betis.

I consider both teams to be equally strong, possessing strong defenses capable of withstanding any opponent's sharp attacks. This time, Atletico Madrid is actually favored by the bookmakers, but their chances of winning are very slim.

If it's a betting option, I assume the match will end 1 - 0 or 1 - 1. The under 3.5 option is also a good choice. But I still hope ATM will win this time.

Whatever the reason, it doesn't obscure the fact that Barcelona suffered a bitter 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid. This defeat further widened the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which now stands at five points. And to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the table again, with such a wide gap, Barcelona will need more time, even if they can regain their consistency and continue winning, and they will need to wait for Real Madrid to slip up in at least two matches.

At least there's still hope for Barcelona to improve their performance this season. So far, Barcelona has won 7 of its 10 matches, while losing 2 and drawing 1. Barcelona have 28 games left to improve, but if their squad isn't complete, it's very difficult to expect a good performance. Wojciech Szczesny is good, but I don't see him as good as last season, when he conceded too many goals.

I agree that there were several valid reasons why Barcelona lost that El Clasico. Barcelona lacked sharpness in attack and were weak in defense, so they couldn't really put pressure on Real Madrid. But whatever the reason, Barcelona must quickly forget about it and improve its performance even though Real Madrid currently leads the standings with a 5-point gap.

To be fair players needs to make sure that they can trust the manager and the manager is doing the best of what he believes for the team. Taking out Vini wasn't saying Vini was playing bad or anything ,he did that for a tactical reason and Vini has to see that as a possibility and a reason.

In the end, Real Madrid won, no matter how that winning was done, doesn't matter how barely it was, now the yare leading and that's the most important part and we should consider how these could be important points.

Trust is the perfection of games but I didn't see it as a result of lack of trust from the manager because the circumstances of that moment did not only please some persons on the substitute, so it would have been questionable and blaming if it was through the substitute of the player that resulted to there lost when it should have been the opposite. Some were also against it when Vinicius got substituted because they have always thought that without him and Mbappe any big team they come across will beat them. Fortunately since real Madrid win Barcelona those drama of Vinicius is not necessary again because is a target gotten.

However, it is unfortunate that Real Madrid did not score many goals, even though they always had good opportunities to do so. The final score of 2-1 certainly indicates that Barcelona is a strong team with a solid defense. However, Barcelona's defeat in yesterday's El Clasico is not embarrassing, as it is understandable that Barcelona lost because Real Madrid was the home team in yesterday's El Clasico match. I also predict that the upcoming El Clasico will be an even more exciting match, and it won't be easy for Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona, as Barcelona's key players are likely to feature in the upcoming El Clasico. Unfortunately, that match is still a long way off.

The only reason why Barcelona beat Real Madrid so many time was simply because they had players who were played out of position and I know if a player is played out of position, he won't be effective in that position. We can now clearly see the difference now that most of Real Madrid defenders are back and are playing their rightful position apart from Feds who was still kept at RB due to Carvajal and Trent not fully recovered. When I watched Real Madrid yesterday, I saw balance in the defence at the same time they still need to improve too.

Athletico Madrid is really not the team they used to be and that's why I will not be surprised if Real betis actually won the fixture between them. Betis are in very good form and they can cause major upset to athletico or probably the game is going to end up being a draw game as you predicted but if am to place a bet, I feel I would just rather avoid this match since it's looking too hard to predict.

Yes, I also think Barca deserved this defeat, they didn't show character in such an important match and it didn't lead them to do what they do, a dull match and above all talking before a match like Yamal did is a deplorable thing, it's not done, in fact they lost

Honestly, i am very satisfied with the result of the match, that Real Madrid truly deserved to win. I watched a tense and emotional match, and the player who caught my attention the most was the one who angered the entire Real Madrid squad yesterday with his statement before the match. And look what happened, Lamine Yamal couldn't move an inch because as soon as he got the ball, all the players tried to chase him as if they wanted to beat him up. The statement he made was truly ridiculous. He is still young and has a bright future ahead of him; if only he could be more humble, it would be better for him.

[Adams0001]

You cant exempt Flick of blame in that match. He started the game with a poor lineup. He could see that in the previous matches before this game, Kounde had been very poor, why go ahead and start him again in a match like that? Why not play Eric Garcia, who has been good as a RB I that position and play Araujo with Cuarsi in centre back? Barcelona lacked aerial dominance I defence in that game. Araujo should have started that game; it didn't make any sense not to start him.

I understand that Barcelona has a small squad and that small squad is plagued with injuries, but Flick didn't manage his players well. He could have even made his changes earlier. By the 60th minute, Kounde should have been taken off for Araujo, and Ferran Torres should have been taken off too. Ferran Torres was non-existent in this game. Flick is not to blame completely, but he has to take part of the blame too.

Real madrid comes to win the match with good motivation and I don't think Barcelona can able to stop Real Madrid that yesterday games because since from the first and second half Real Madrid have been dominating the game. Kounde is more better then Araujo currently and if they make the substitution since from the 60 minutes with how vini Jr was turning Kounde in the pitch. if is Araujo i don't think he can handle the pressure, he can probably collect a card and make things difficult for the team more.

With what Barcelona did to Real Madrid last season i knew that this season will definitely be different and make it difficult for Barcelona to achieve the laliga this time around and that what happens. Barcelona should look for defence next season because I think they are struggling in that defence this season and that is why they are conceding goals in all the competition.

Fortunately since real Madrid win Barcelona those drama of Vinicius is not necessary again because is a target gotten.

Vinicius Junior was enjoying his game before being substituted sadly and we get many players will feel the same but his reaction wasn't any good either.

Xabi Alonso show maturity not speaking about this in public and I think both will come in good terms and he must have been told by others that he reacted poorly by the way.

[|MINER|]

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.

And yes Real Madrid club finally proved that they were really fully ready to face the Barcelona team. After watching the first half, I thought that maybe the Barcelona would gonna eaten upto four goal even the score would be the if the penalty kick wasn't missed. But after then I would say that it was a good competitive even Barcelona team lose this match they tried with the full efforts and that's why we are seeing that even the real madrid team win this match the position it 68% to the Barcelona and only 32% to Real Madrid.

I expected Real to play better this time, they needed it to prove they could beat Barcelona. Matches like these are always very emotional and important, because they're the ones that can be decisive for a team's standings. Real is in good form right now and has a five-point lead over Barcelona, ​​and I'm already thinking it will be very difficult for Barcelona to close that gap, at least for now, while Real is on a good run. Barcelona needed to at least try not to lose this match.

To be honest, Real Madrid are in good form right now, but there have been many times in the history of El Clasico when Barcelona have beaten Real Madrid despite not being in form. The Catalans have won six of their last ten El Clasico matches. Let's see how long these five points last, but Barca shine when the time comes. In such matches, it is not form, but mental toughness and team cohesion that make the real difference. Real are ahead for now, but there is still a long way to go in the season. Barcelona will close the gap when they get the chance, and that is the nature of the Catalans.

Seriously, I wouldn’t be surprised if Raphinha eventually becomes Barcelona's captain. Despite the fact he was injured and couldn’t play in the El Clasico, he still traveled with the team down to Real Madrid. That really impressed me because it shows how much he cares about the club.

During the game, I noticed how active he was in the stands, shouting, and trying to lift the team’s spirit. It almost felt like he was playing from the stand. The part that really got me was when he rushed into the pitch to calm things down between Yamal and Vinicious. That moment showed his heart and maturity.

I feel Raphinha is not just wearing the Barcelona's shirt. He truly loves the club, and you can see it in his actions. He plays and supports with pride. I wish he was fit enough to have played in the El clasico.

[Rgram]

The laliga is getting more intensed these days and specifically about the two big rival teams and their super stars in it... Barcelona and real Madrid. I feel like the whole Madrid team is carrying grudges against lamine Yamal for whatever reasons it is.. I wasn't on the pitch to know what instigated the disagreement, but it's creeping in very fast and it's beginning to get out of hand.
It was a wonderful performance from both teams and it's even going to get more intensed, since every single person wants to create a sense of validation for themselves, regarding the balloon d'Or for next season.

I think Lamine Yamal deserved the whatever  treatment he got from the Madrid players. Lately, the boy has been talking too much and acting like he has already made it.

You can clearly see how it’s affecting his game. In the El Clasico, he had almost no impact at all, apart from that one nice loop pass to Kounde towards the end of the second half.

I really like laminy Yamal because of his talent, but if he continues with this kind of attitude, I kinda scared his career won’t last long. He’s still very young, and instead of getting carried away, he should focus more on improving his game and letting his football speak for him.

I love the fact that the rivalry between Real and Barcelona is back to it's fiercest stage. That's the kind of rivalry I've enjoyed for more than two decades as a football fan supporting one of the top two teams in Spain. Sometimes, it breaks your heart especially when your team is on the losing side but when you're in the winning side just like what happened yesterday, you enjoy every bit of it.
The reason why almost the whole Real Madrid players were against Lamine Yamal was because the young lad said demeaning things about Real Madrid before the game but couldn't match his words on the pitch. He really needs to learn how to say less and do more

[Sexylizzy2813]

In the El Clasico yesterday we saw how Madrid came with a different version of themselves and it was like we're watching the old Madrid when they had Benzema, Ronaldo, Pepe, Ramos and the others, they made Madrid to look small like they are one of those academy players. Carreras was the player who arrested Yamal completely in that encounter and I started seeing things I haven't seen from the player where he started playing as a midfielder when it became hard for him, I don't think he'll be able to get over this clash any time soon. Madrid defense line should continue like this and their journey into any competition will be a successful one.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

The boy is just being unreasonable or is just being advice wrongly because he talks too much and does very little. Of a truth he has shown a glimpse of quality while playing for Spain and Barcelona but the hype they are hyping him has really gotten to his head,  and he now sees himself as the best, while he hasn't gotten to that level yet, he is still just a kid in football, and the way he behaves shows everything that everyone needs to understand.

This boy was suffering from a great deal of inferiority complex and was under pressure in the biggest match in Spanish football so we shouldn't just blame this Spanish teenager. Indeed the main reason for his confidence boost was that they had proudly defeated Los Blancos in all of their previous season El Clasico matches. As a result the idea was set in his mind that perhaps they would defeat Xabi Alonso's team in the same style and with the same plan in this upcoming glorious match. To be honest I still don't think Real Madrid was able to play sufficiently and very aggressively in this match, if Barca's attacking line had been fully formed, it might have been much more challenging for Madrid and there could have been a lot more drama.

[Scarlett_23]

Barca deserved this defeat. They clearly lacked the intensity needed for such a big game. Xavi is disappointing again, and that's the harsh truth. I don't know what's wrong with him, but some of his decisions seem more personal than tactical. His substitutions were horrible, that's for sure. The sub of Vini was just ridiculous, and he had every right to react. It also had a negative impact, as he's starting to feel less valued. From being the club's poster boy, he's now getting subbed early in crucial matches. That's just too much for him.

Yes, I also think Barca deserved this defeat, they didn't show character in such an important match and it didn't lead them to do what they do, a dull match and above all talking before a match like Yamal did is a deplorable thing, it's not done, in fact they lost

Real Madrid won this year's La Liga Clasico 2-1. At the end of the match, Real had 27 points and Barcelona had 22. Real Madrid lost to Barcelona last season. There are several reasons behind Real Madrid's victory in this match. Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius had outstanding performances in this match. Therefore, Barcelona's defense was completely cornered by Real's attack. Bellingham controlled the midfield almost alone. On the other hand, due to the absence of some players, a lot of responsibility fell on Lamine Yaman. But it is very difficult to win a match based on one player. Again, Flick could not be on the field.

The el clasico was an interesting one to watch as I witnessed the zeal real Madrid showed. The eagerness that they want to win, their performance and the interest all the players showed up. For me, real Madrid Played a way as if they where angry. We can clearly see it from them. In the first half to me I already concluded that real Madrid will be victorious against FC Barcelona. Good game for them, they really deserve that win, hope they can continue to keep this tempo of the game and the spirit to play, if they can, then I see that they will definitely lift the trophy this season. I'm so happy for their performance though, lol

This season, El Clasico once again presented fierce competition between the two teams. This was in stark contrast to the previous season, when Real Madrid suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Barcelona.

Yesterday's match was very intense, with the referee issuing nine yellow cards and two red cards, resulting in a high number of cards being issued throughout the match. Barcelona played solidly, managing to withstand several attacks launched by Real Madrid players. Tomasz Szczesny made seven crucial saves, including stopping a penalty kick from K. Mabpe, but ultimately conceded two goals, leaving Barcelona to return from Santiago Bernabéu with a bitter defeat. However, what is very unfortunate is that the rivalry continued even after the match ended, with clashes erupting between the two teams. This is deeply regrettable because the rivalry should have remained confined to the field. I observed that Lamine Yamal clashed with Carvajal to the point where he forgot that Carvajal is the team captain when he returned to the Spanish national team.

Vini in the match against Barcelona was not placed in his ideal position as a CF or winger in the 4-3-3 formation. In the match against Barcelona, Xabi Alonso played with a 4-4-2 formation and Vini was positioned on the wing, which is not his ideal position. Being substituted in the middle is not a problem due to underperformance, but rather to give him a chance to rest and to give other players the opportunity to get playing time in the super big match.

Xabi Alonso as change real madrid and they are back to there best form this season, that is why I see xabi Alonso is coming to real madrid I definitely believe he will surly surprise many people because since the season started Real madrid just have one lose, and the rest are wining in both the Champions league and the league competition that is a good form from xabi Alonso. The el classico was very tough and enjoyable to watch, because real madrid show Barcelona that they are the best in the Spain and have the highest wining the competition. Hansi Flick as be luck against Real Madrid and he doesn't get the opportunity to communicate very well with the players in the pitch because of the one game suspension.

Have really thinking that real madrid have be the favorite of winning the laliga this season and Barcelona have not played against Athletico Madrid and they are in the best form and the way Athletico Madrid are playing currently he will always be difficult for Barcelona to win them. but let watch and see if they can be defeated easily. The second leg of el classico will be very tough because all what happens to Yamal he will try to show is self and the boy is very talented and can perform well in the second leg.
