La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Tamaperdana]

When I watch this match, it looks like Villarreal will be a stumbling block for Real Madrid. They have an accurate attack and are measured at center field, even play away on Espanyol, they are still impressive, and look confident in organizing the squad. It might be too early, but considering Barcelona has a problem with their defender, I am quite sure that Villareal will cause problems for Real Madrid next. Atletico is on the way, but not convincing enough to be a serious opponent for Real Madrid than Villareal.

Yes, it's undeniable that Villarreal's current performance is truly excellent. This is proven by their eight wins in 12 matches this season. Therefore, it's fair to say that Villarreal will be quite a difficult team for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Villarreal has already reached second place in La Liga. This is clear evidence that Villarreal is serious about this season.

However, I don't think it will be easy for Villarreal to compete with Barcelona or Real Madrid. Both teams are very experienced and have excellent squad depth. Therefore, I think Villarreal will still struggle when facing Barcelona or Real Madrid directly. Because in terms of player quality and other aspects, Villarreal is clearly far behind Barcelona or Real Madrid. Nevertheless, I still give the players two thumbs up, because their performance has improved drastically this season.

[Silence Scream]

Of course, this wasn't a surprising result. Atletico Madrid is a very strong team with a formidable squad and financial resources. And Atletico Madrid was playing at home against a weak Levante team that is struggling in the relegation zone, competing very closely at the bottom of the table. With such a comparison and playing at home, Atletico was certainly going to win easily against Levante, although not by a landslide. Atletico only won 3-1 thanks to a brace of 2 goals from Griezmann.

The result was in line with many predictions, and Atletico Madrid was able to capitalize on it, not wasting any opportunity, resulting in a satisfying victory. This brings the match result to five unbeaten matches so far (1 draw and 4 wins) in the last five matches. Atletico Madrid remains in fourth place with a total of 25 points, roughly the same as Barcelona, ​​but things will likely be different once Barcelona has finished playing.

In this match, most people predicted that Atlético Madrid would win and it was successful. However, we can see that Atlético Madrid is attacking quite strongly this season as well, just like last season. Atletico Madrid had defeated the powerful team Real Madrid by a huge margin before, in that case, since the team is currently in the fourth position of the point table, they will compete quite a lot with Barcelona. Yes, it is true that Atletico Madrid may end up below Barcelona, but if they can win the match against Barcelona, they will definitely surpass Barcelona. And compared to Barcelona's performance, we can see that Atletico Madrid is in good form at the moment.

Barcelona haven't played a match yet. If they do, they'll likely win and move three points ahead of Atletico Madrid. Next week, Atletico Madrid travels to Getafe. Barcelona, ​​meanwhile, will face Athletic Bilbao, and they could risk dropping points in that match. Therefore, they could be level on points next week. I don't think Barcelona and Real Madrid will drop any points this week.

Barcelona, ​​meanwhile, will face Athletic Bilbao, and they could risk dropping points in that match. Therefore, they could be level on points next week. I don't think Barcelona and Real Madrid will drop any points this week.

Yes, today Barcelona will play against Celta, I think it is clear that this match will most likely be won by Barcelona. So with that, it is clear that Barcelona will definitely get the full 3 points in this match and it is clear that with this Atletico Madrid will definitely be surpassed by Barcelona's points. Besides that, talking about next week's match that Barcelona will play against Bilbao, I am also sure that in this match Barcelona will definitely win too. Because basically Barcelona is a great team and usually Barcelona does not have too much difficulty when facing Bilbao.

So with that, I think Barcelona will not have too much difficulty when facing Bilbao next week. Because we can also see that Bilbao's performance this season is really bad too. The proof is that in the last 5 matches played, Bilbao has only been able to get one win in La Liga. So, this is truly proof that Barcelona will definitely win when they face Bilbao next week. Bilbao's current form is generally poor. They currently sit in 12th place in the La Liga standings. So, in essence, Barcelona has nothing to fear from Bilbao.

[ancafe]

From the context of thing here for now I have nothing much to say, but well what I could say about villarreal, villarreal has been known for their strong team dynamics and strategic gameplay, which could indeed make them a challenging opponent for any team, on the other hand too Real Madrid are also known for been the best too.

Villarreal have indeed been stronger in their previous La Liga matches, having only been beaten by Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid so far, apart from their Champions League defeat. Being in second place and one point ahead of Barcelona isn't just a matter of luck, as they've worked hard to get there. So, it's worth keeping an eye on, as this season could hold some surprises. If Villarreal can maintain their consistency, I believe they can pose a threat to both Barcelona and Real Madrid.

[jems]

Although they will play as a guest team, Barcelona will control the game in my opinion, while Celta Vigo will survive and will only rely on fast counterattacks. But maybe Celta Vigo will try to create a quick goal and after that they will defend completely.

Well don't let Barcelona miss a lot like when they faced Club Brugge, because it was a gap shown by Club Brugge how to be able to make resistance to Barcelona. I don't think much about Club Brugge in this match, because even a draw is a good result for them.

The draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League match certainly gave Barcelona players great motivation to bounce back in the continuation of the La Liga match this week, The Barcelona team will travel to Celta Vigo's headquarters, Actually this will not be easy but we also have to look realistically that the strength of the Barcelona team is much stronger and also their great motivation to not be left behind in points from Real Madrid at the top of the standings, so I am quite sure that Barcelona will be able to get 3 points this week.

[armanda90]

Villarreal has currently won eight of their 12 matches and sits in second place in the La Liga standings, Villarreal's performance is quite impressive and this is clearly a significant improvement compared to last season, However maintaining consistency until the end of the season to compete fiercely for the title is very difficult, I don't mean to underestimate Villarreal but I don't think we should place too high expectations on a team that hasn't yet proven its consistency.

And I'm still optimistic that only Real Madrid and Barcelona will compete fiercely for the title, Teams like Atletico Madrid aren't as impressive, although they've slowly recovered but I don't think that's enough to reach the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The victory from Espanyol last night become 8 winning matches in La Liga and right now moving down Barcelona to 3rd standings position behind 1 point left and Barcelona have one match left for this week. Big challenge for Villareal would be consistent until the end of this season and become huge pressure team for Real Madrid who comfortable at the first standings? Current La Liga standings until games week 12 quite interested behind the top fourth teams remaining few points only.

Atletico Madrid victory make top fourth standings team just remaining 1 point few points only except Real Madrid have 4 points left behind Villareal, today Madrid will face Rayo Vallecano and secure three points will make many points gap from Villareal. In the other side Barcelona will face Celta Vigo must getting three points if want return back to second place position/

Last season I saw Atletico Madrid top the points table but they couldn't keep their winning streak going until the end of the tournament. This time, their style of play looks like they will be putting up a strong fight to win the trophy but they often don't get their winning streak going. They played impressively against Levante and scored three goals, which is a sign of their return to form. After beating the current leaders Real Madrid 5-2 a few weeks ago, there was hope that they would close the gap on the higher possition team but the loss of points against Celta Vigo has thrown up some uncertainty. Winning against Levante and moving up to fourth place has given them a chance to improve further.

I'm also among those who believe Barcelona can take the three points from this match, as the points they dropped in their last match have fueled them. Furthermore, their desire and need to chase Real Madrid in Spain could push them to that level. Furthermore, Celta Vigo isn't a strong team that can stand up to them. Barcelona could easily win and earn themselves the three points. However, they'll have to wait for Real Madrid to drop points, and that seems unlikely this week.

[Velvet78]

Simeone must have heard me at the beginning of the season.    Because his recent results started to get much better in the La Liga. For now they don't make simple point losses in easy games...

But this doesn't mean the whole season will go on like this for them. We have all must be used to them in the recent years. They manage to play a certain part of the season strongly but in the other times they disappoint their fans again.

At least they can finish in top 4 which they do regularly.

That's how Atletico Madrid are every season and we're no longer surprised by their performance in La Liga. There's nothing really pushing them to end the season with the domestic trophy. After the 2020-2021 season until now Atletico Madrid can only secure UCL tickets, but Atletico Madrid existence remains the only team that can challenge 2 Spanish giants. Without the presence of Atletico Madrid, La Liga feels less interesting, therefore I hope they continue to try their best as a counterweight to the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid. 

[SatoPrincess]

One of the few good gestures from Vini Junior that the media will never show all because it won't push a narrative against him or maybe because if they talk about it, it wouldn't bring more engagement for them. Vini sometimes loses it and does stupid things but most of the time it's when his provoked and he loses it and does that stupid thing, that's the part that's always talked about. See how he got the water bottle for himself and the opponent during the last El Classico. He drank, gave it to Cubarsi who requested for it and after he drank, he gave it back to Vini who also dipped again before returning it off the field. This is one good gesture who don't often see the media showing or talked about well.

Unfortunately the media does not like spreading positive news, they make money off spreading propaganda and attention farming. Yes, Vinicius was a little bit overboard with his words and he apologized right after but the media just won’t let it go. I hope Vini has been able to squash whatever problems between himself and the manager.

Barcelona currently trails Real Madrid by five points, which is a significant motivation for Barcelona to avoid falling further behind, However the upcoming match won't be easy for Barcelona, ​​especially since their last Champions League match against Club Brugge, a team far below Barcelona in quality, has caused the Barcelona players' confidence to plummet.

Meanwhile Celta Vigo is a strong team at home and their last three matches against Barcelona have always been close, The same could happen in the upcoming match, I think Celta Vigo can hold Barcelona to a draw.

Atletico will need some changes to improve and surpass the competition from Madrid and Barcelona. The performance they have shown in the past few seasons can be said to be not bad. But still, there haven't been many changes. It seems they are only focused on achieving the goal of securing a Champions League spot each season. But in fact, which club doesn't want to win trophies? I think all of them do. It's just that some clubs are constrained by the quality of their play, and also the quality of the players they have.

[Salahmu]

If it was an argument it would have been very current on the news till today because they no is what people wouldn't look away if they see it, this is something they should have been talking about all the time so that it will teach every players that football is not a place of looking someone as your enemy but were people should love each other's even if they're not of the same club, although the camera allowed that moment of his generosity for some time before they went in again, is good to be nice because it doesn't change anything on that player but instead likeness from people.

[KTChampions]

Top clubs are the opposite: after a defeat, they become even more angry and motivated. And if some underdog falls into such a mood of the top, then the rout may be greater than usual. Bookmakers are currently pricing the Rayo Vallecano vs. Real Madrid match at:

6.80 - 5.00 - 1.44

As you can see, the odds for Real to win are very low and apparently almost entirely such due to the fact that the game is away for Real, it looks like in Madrid it would be 1.10-1.20.

It seems like a place for top teams to vent their anger when they lose, I'm also thinking the same thing as you so Real Madrid is highly likely to win by a big score this week against Rayo Vallecano.

If you choose to bet on a Real Madrid win, the odds are small because Real Madrid's percentage of winning the match is very high, so it's better to bet on the handicap for a Real Madrid win, Considering the strengths of Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, I'm still very confident that Real Madrid will win the match by more than 2 goals.

After Arsenal (the best defense of the season) dropped points yesterday against a modest Sunderland, and Bayern (the best attack of the season) dropped points against Union, I don't see any chance of Real dropping points today. Or are we living in a simulation? 
The odds are modest, yes, but it depends on how you look at it. If you look at it purely from a financial perspective, then +44% in one evening is a gift you can’t refuse (the main thing is that it doesn’t turn out like with Arsenal/Bayern haha).

[Promocodeudo]

Winning against Levante and moving up to fourth place has given them a chance to improve further.

We should have known by now that Athletico Madrid is not a team to rely on, in terms of consistency, you gave a good record of how the have perfromed so far this season, after their winning against RealMadrid this season, I thought that they will continue with such performance from that day but we know what happened next, although I won't talk down on them because they aren't doing too bad, they have succeeded in many matches and there's no way we can say they aren't doing their best, but there problem has always been inconsistency, they strike when people least expect, Athletico Madrid sometimes behaves like arsenal of English premier League but let's see if they will be seen on a different level at the end of this season or if they will continue with what we know them for.

Atletico Madrid certainly wants to win the championship, and they're a team with a history of winning championships. We know they've surpassed Real Madrid and Barcelona in recent years to win the title. However, this year, despite a strong squad, they're trailing behind. I think they're doing poorly despite having a very good squad. More accurately, I'd expect them to be in the title race, but it looks like they won't be. They achieved a historic victory against Real Madrid. That's great, but they also lost against some teams despite being favorites.

[Adbitco]

I hope Vini has been able to squash whatever problems between himself and the manager.

True, the media mostly feeds the population with propaganda, always twisting the narrative to suit their agenda on players they want to tarnish their image. Vini goes over board but this season it seems as though Alonso has really worked on him and we can see that Vini doesn't really behave the way he normally behaves other seasons ago. There's a little difference between that Vini and this Vini in terms of behaviour now.

Atletico's performance this season has indeed not been very satisfactory. They can perform well against Madrid in highly competitive matches, but they also drop points in games they should have won.
Atletico's situation this season might not be enough for the title race. They need to make a plan for next season, even though there is still a chance this season to improve their position and catch up with Madrid. I want to see what efforts they will make in the upcoming transfer market. This could show their ambition to win the title.

[Bobrox]

One hour later the match Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid, its Madrid derby match called "Derbi Madrileño" although not really exciting such Atletico vs Madrid but derby still derby. Real Madrid have officially announce starting line up and the attacking line not change yet filling by Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe and Brahim Diaz playing at the early minutes. For midfielder position due absent of Aurélien Tchouaméni after getting injury and his position replacing by Camavinga, another rotation Raul Acensio playing starting line up replacing Eder Militao have started from the bench and overall position not any huge difference from last several games. I am expecting Madrid will get three points for this match and watching Kylian Mbappe will continue scoring goal after get stuck scoring goal last match at Champion League against Liverpool.
