La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[promise444c5]

It was just better… but tbh, it hasn’t been good for a long time,you didn’t notice because the offside trap was working so well.
[..edited]

Was it better? When? Ok, let's not discuss LaLiga, lets's go to CL
Barca's defense sucked eveytime
-2021? ended with -7 in the CL stage
-2022? 12-12 zero goal difference
-2023, of finally a good goal difference +6, but again most goals taken out of the top 1 finishers
-2024, finishes second out of 36 teams, the second team that has received that many goals is on 17th!!!! spot

Well, I get the point but when I said “better” I was only comparing it with last season i.e last season wasn’t as worse as this. Last year wasn’t good either but at least better .

Again, you’re right with those stats, only statsmuse was giving me the list though, on the Champions League page, I saw something like 11 for group stage in 2020/2021. I didn’t check others but was it the cumulative +/- ?  …Still, not as worse as the current state of their defense, it’s just too obvious this time around…

The match ended in a draw, Elche and Real Sociedad, perhaps it is true that Sociedad is getting worse and Elche is much better than Real Sociedad.

In the match Elche dominated the match a lot, their midfield played a very active role in ball management, it's just that they couldn't create more goals and had to end up with a draw with Real Sociedad, overall despite the draw Elhce was much better.

Elche had taken the lead through Rodriguez goal in the 57th minute, but Real Sociedad equalized after Mikel Oyarzabal convert a penalty. Elche isn't a particularly good team, and their form often fluctuates. This time, they were superior in every way to Real Sociedad, but a small mistake cost them points at home.

Initially, I thought Real Sociedad would win this match after winning their previous two matches, beating Sevilla and Athletic Club, but when faced with Elche, they looked like a small team with no direction in their game.

I don't think Elche played much better or were much better than Real Sociedad. If Elche had played well, they could have won but they didn't. They either didn't use the strategy they needed to play or their game plan properly or it was wrong which is why they lost or they couldn't change their plan as the game changed which is why the game ended in a draw. Real Sociedad scored 3 goals against a strong opponent like Athletic Club so it's not right to consider Elcheas a highly experienced team compared to Sociedad.

Atletico Madrid is once again doing what they are good at doing which is draw, it's still the first half of Atletico Madrid vs Levante and the score line is still 1-1 can Atletico Madrid be able to bag the three points at home tonight? Normally this is supposed to be a walk over match for Atletico Madrid but I don't really know what's wrong with that team, like they will surprise you in one game and disappoint you in the next few games, I believe their assurance is no matter how bad they might be in a season yet they will still make it to the top four because there are less competition in that league, but I just hope they win this game.

Yes, Atletico are really following the 'almost there' tradition now ! Jokes aside, their style of play is so exciting that it seems like they are back in great form. But in the next match or at any moment they become impatient. You are right, the victory against Levante was ideally theirs. However, it seems that they always complicate things a bit. Maybe their overly defensive mentality is the reason for this tendency. Sometimes it seems that when they take control of the game, they forget to finish games off.

Still, I agree that Atletico have become a kind of comfort zone among the top four teams in La Liga, ha ha! They will probably stay there with enough consistency, but their tendency to lose easy points is really annoying. whatever, the match just ended, and atletico won by 3 - 1

With the squad depth that Atletico possess, Diego Simeone should be able to make his team a strong contender for the La Liga title alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona this season, rather than merely fighting for a Champions League spot. Atletico started the season poorly, but they have gradually recovered and managed to regain their consistency.

At times, Atletico can secure victories with ease, but often they have to struggle to do so, even when facing mediocre clubs like Levante. I think Diego Simeone needs to push his team to play more aggressively in attack, and sometimes relying on veteran players like Griezmann is far more effective for winning matches.

Atletico Madrid will continue to finish in top four, in fact I think they have more chances of winning or competing to win till the end than not making it to top four because even others that ought to be big top teams competing in top four are finding things difficult like Sevilla.

They are inconsistent and so I highly doubt they might be able to win the league one or two seasons from now but I must say they are still on the right track in the aspect of players they are getting and as they go on these players will see themselves being able to compete against Real Madrid and Barcelona for the league.

Who told you that Sevilla is a strong team to finish on top four. Sevilla is an average team in Laliga and they haven't finished on top four for long. Those seasons that you saw them in UCL was because they won Europa League. The most favorite teams to finish on top four apart from Madrid and Barcelona are Atletico Madrid, Bilbao and Villarreal.

In the first half, Levante were under heavy pressure, eager to control the game and secure a victory.
Levante's resistance crumbled in the second half. The game shifted to Atletico Madrid's favor. Griezmann scored within seconds of entering the game, making the score 2-1 for Atletico Madrid. Griezmann scored the third goal, both of his goals were simple, I'd say, into an empty net. Griezmann, however, knows where to be and how to find the right position at the right time, thanks to years of experience.

Diego Simeone has been Atletico's coach for a long time now but what he only succeeds is qualifying Atletico Madrid for the Champions League, no any other achievement like winning titles for the team. Sure Atletico has squad depth but the way they perform in some of their games can be so annoying especially in matches they could easily win. They should be very happy they still have players like Antoine Griezmann who is still devoted to the team and very resourceful in scoring goals because he was the one that scored the brace they made Atletico Madrid to win Levante by a score of 3:1. Atletico Madrid really needs to buckle up and become competitive in the La Liga because we can't continue to be watching Barcelona and Real Madrid winning the title all the time. Even if it will take sacking Diego Simeone and finding another manager that will help them win trophies, the club should do it.

Ought to be
I didn't refer to them as one literally and know it has been longed they made it to top four which is among reason I used my statement ought to be. Bilbao and Villarael, including Real Sociedad are not consistent enough or have the squad dept to compete against Atletico Madrid for the top four spot, and they are someone relax [I mean Atletico Madrid] and we can see that while they have no much of a difficulty making top four, they are not being able to compete in Europa competitions again as before.

Maybe they can turn things around. Was it not here that Girona had the top hijacked. They spent months on the top of the table before Real Madrid met them at home in their first round one and shift them from the place but that doesn't stop them from finishing at the top of the table. They had rough performance in the second leg and I can't remember exactly what went wrong but they did finish with Real Madrid first, Barcelona second Atlantico third and Girona fourth.

The probability of a random team getting at the top of the table depend on what the top teams are playing that season. I also don't think the league is a monopoly where one particular teams are selective with performance. It doesn't make distribution of fairness among teams, rather it create a boundaries between teams that are used to having good season and the teams that lack one or two motivation to be at the top of the table.

There were times that Sevilla used to be a strong. And finished in the top 4 and they were also very strong in the Europa League, in Spain Sevilla is a name that rings a bell in terms of strength and trophies so using that I don't anyone is wrong if they call Sevilla a strong team.
In Spain the big name we are used is Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla.
This season they have been poor and they aren't doing much to better themselves.

There's no reason for Real Madrid to lose heart after being defeated by Liverpool in the UCL. In fact, such incidents need to happen to big teams so they can improve their quality in every match. This time Real Madrid is hurting, they will try to heal the wound with a win at Rayo Vallecano headquarters. This match is very important for Real Madrid in maintaining its position at the top of the standings, moreover with the quality of the team that Rayo has, it will not be difficult for Real Madrid to beat them.

That loss wasn't final for Madrid nad so they have other champions league games they will still be playing, they also will be able make it up with other games ahead until they get passed this stage. The position of Madrid on the table is actually with a small difference as against the second position team and if they loose this game, it will impact their position greatly and may possibly cost them the chance to staying at the top of the table.

Sure sevilla is and average team in the laliga competition, they always struggle to finish in top 4th. i don't know when they qualify for the Champions League last they can just do and always and get the chance to play in the Europa League. I think because they defeated Barcelona 4-1 that is why they think sevilla are strong team but this season they are trying but still they can't finish in top 4th in my opinion but anything can probably possibly because football is always unpredictable. things change always and they can shock us and end in top 4th this season and get the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Let see how this season will be because Barcelona that can challenge real madrid this time are already struggling to achieve three point in any matches they play so I think madrid can be the winner of the league this time around, that will give xabi Alonso is first laliga tittle for real madrid this season.

Liverpool isn't a small team despite the fact they were struggling, they have all the quality to make Real Madrid suffer at anfield and that's exactly what they did. So that lose for real Madrid wasn't that much unexpected and beside they were playing away and it won't be that much of effect of they find their way back and get back to winning which is something they would do in no time at all .

Sevilla in top4 not in this recent time, it actually been a long time, though not among the top 4 teams didn't actually make them a weak team, they've been a very fair team in terms of performance and form these past seasons. But things can change this season as regards to their form and we have them fill one of the top 4 spot.

Real Madrid loss against Liverpool can not be the end for them because they are still in the competition and the loss was the first time they are losing in the competition, although they were expected to defeat Liverpool following the state of Liverpool that period but Liverpool became very strong than expected so they overpowered Real Madrid to get thrown at home. Real Madrid is not far from the first position in the table the loss should be able to make them get more prepared ahead of the other games they will be playing and hopefully they move back at the top of they improve in their game play.

Antoine Griezmann had a great game. He wasn't in the starting lineup, but when he came on he played very well, even managing to score two goals. Without a doubt, it was a very good game for Antoine Griezmann. He deserves praise. I should also say that Atletico Madrid has been playing well in recent games.



When the league started, Atletico Madrid had a very bad start, dropping points, and I even thought that this was the time the coach would be fired. But the Atletico Madrid coach surprised me; he got the team in shape, and now they are in 4th place and could finish in 3rd if they continue with this good performance.

I believe this was a good win for Atletico Madrid as they are really in need of a point to move up the table, they really deserve this win as they tend to play more better by dominating the game. I think today is basically their day of victory. That is what they have been facing in the early hours of the season, where they face with most difficulty to even make a point in every match they played, but right now we can see the clear changes they have been putting on the pitch, good win for them and well deserved victory.

The match result was in line with what many people predicted, Atletico successfully defeated Levante with a promising score. The additional three points keep them on track for the trophy race, and by maintaining consistency, they might be able to close the gap with Real Madrid in the future.
Overall, I think Atletico has performed well this season, they have only suffered one loss. However, going forward, they must try not to add any more draws to their record, which is causing them to fall further behind the league leaders.

It wasn't a surprising win, as they were up against a team that had only won once in their last five matches and were near the bottom of the table, so it was expected. I've always said their attack was too monotonous, but today they had a lot of variety in their attack, which is a positive sign for Atletico Madrid, if Simeone can maintain this kind of attack, Atletico could be considered a contender for the title alongside two of La Liga strongest contenders.
