La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

I don't think that anyone have underrated Yamal only if that person is a sadist. Yamal brought back life to Barcelona after he was promoted to the senior team by Xavi. His performance is outstanding and extra ordinary for his age. Barcelona will do everything in their power to make sure that they build and nurse him for their long-term benefit.

Anytime Lamine Yamal is fully fit to play for Barcelona, Barcelona always plays well and wins most of their matches but if Lamine Yamal is injured, Barcelona's performance usually declines and they will struggle to win their matches, so I agree that "Lamine Yamal brought back life to Barcelona after he was promoted to the senior team." Barcelona is already paying Lamine Yamal big money so that he can remain a Barcelona player for a very long time.

Barcelona is a team that needs every single player of their squad to be active and that includes even the defenders although I understand the fact to what you are pointing out but I think Barcelona instead misses when an important player is missing in their squad and that includes the likes lamine yamal, Robert lewandoski, rafinha and even pedri. If any of these guys are missing in their gameplay their performance tend to drop a bit .

Barcelona, of course, achieves results based on the performance of certain players. A player like Yamal, in particular, has a significant impact on them. If Yamal is on a good day, they become a team that makes a difference. However, if he's not playing well, they can drop points. Therefore, they're a bit unlucky, as not every player has a good substitute on the bench. Real Madrid is luckier in this regard. They have the opportunity for many players to come off the bench and change the game.

No man in his right senses will try underrate Yamal the boy is a baller no doubt like he actually restored Barcelona in their darkest moments when all hope were lost on their side Xabi brought in Yamal and till date the boy is still doing wonders but the only thing about him is pride and he talks a lot, and that's not really good for him and his career if he keeps acting that way it might not end well for him, as a young talent that he is I think he should focus more on his career than acting more childish it will do him no good and that might cost him his career.

Athletic Bilbao used to be more powerful and competitive when they faced top clubs in the past seasons. Right now they aren't doing well since the beginning, they lost in European competitions but also in La Liga even against weaker clubs.
The odds for this match are less than 1.5 for Barcelona and over 6.5 for Athletic Bilbao. The game will take place in Barcelona and all stats are showing the superiority of Barcelona except injuries, they have several players injured and they have to avoid adding others in the list before Champions League next match.

Barcelona's odds are 1.4 which is perfectly in line with the teams' form and the fact that Barcelona can't afford to drop points right now, so I think they should win this match. By the way Real is playing Elche, and despite it being an away match, I'm even more confident in their victory than in Barcelona's. Real's odds are also around 1.4, so if you take this +match with Barcelona's, it's a pretty good bet overall.

Furthermore, Barcelona will face Bilbao in their next match. I hope they can secure another three points. Barcelona is really getting closer to the top of the table, so they shouldn't waste this golden opportunity to catch up with Real Madrid.

You be hoping while these players know this is not a time to take chances. You know they have a game against Chelsea in the Champions League so they will do their possible best to wrap up this win in a flash. The absence of Pedri do not even scare me or make me bother. Athletico Bilbao are not even in a good form. Clubs like Newcastle Liverpool and Dortmund have dealt with them this season already Barcelona causing more damages should be expected. A three goals to to nothing will happen. Catching Real Madrid and overtaking them will happen too.

I don't think most gamblers would be concerned about betting on a Barcelona win, which is certainly a possibility.
Athletic has consistently failed against Barca, and even at home, they've failed to beat or even draw with them.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will be playing at home this time, which gives them a better chance of winning.
I'm sure Lamine Yamal will be more aggressive this time around

I would have said the game will be somehow strong for Barcelona because Athletic Bilbao use to be a strong team but they have not been performing well currently so I don't think it will be strong or difficult for Barcelona to get a win and secondly they are playing in Barcelona home ground that's another advantage for Barcelona but anything is possible though and you are right, Barcelona is already close to Real I think with 3-4 points gap and I'm sure they would not want to make the gap increase instead it should be decreasing as they approach. Real Madrid on the other hand doesn't look like they are ready to drop point so they will want to maintain the pace or even increase it so two things are involve.

Athletic Bilbao are no longer strong and play well as recent seasons but they are still not a weak team with ability to make dangerous attacks or counter attacks against Barcelona. They are a weaker team compares to Barcelona but if they choose proper tactics like counter attacks, defend their goalkeeper well and wait for right time during a match to suddenly boost their attacking intensity and speed, they can get points from Barcelona.

Athletic Bilbao are still not an opponent that are easily beaten so Barcelona must play very carefully with Athletic Bilbao if they don't want to drop points and get double bad consequences: falling farther behind Real Madrid and no longer have point difference against Atletico Madrid.

I agree with you. Underestimating Yamal is a mistake. Yamal is one of the best young players of this era. I don't think anyone doubts that Yamal is a future superstar. His performances for Barcelona and Spain make him almost irreplaceable. However, Yamal still has issues with emotional management and a poor personality. I don't know if Yamal suffers from star syndrome or not. However, his arrogance and life outside of football risk ending his career prematurely. Yamal is still very young. He still has plenty of time to correct his mistakes. I just hope he can improve in the future. I don't want his career to end like Neymar's or most other Brazilian players.

Yamal has shown off his top class quality in recent seasons and I believe nobody underestimated Yamal. As all players, he can not perform well in all matches and the biggest challenges for him are avoiding injuries, and maintaining as best excellent performance consistency as possible. If he can do it, he will not be ony a phenomenon in football after the era of Messi and Ronaldo, but also become a new legendary player in football history.

His talent is very great and can not be denied or undestimated by anyone but whether he can maximize his talent, depends on his professional and how he seriously takes care of his career in coming years.

Mbappe's biggest problem is that he doesn't have good chemistry with his teammates. This is basically why we saw that despite having so many star players in PSG, they couldn't win any major tournament, especially the Champions League. The biggest proof of this is PSG winning the Champions League after he left PSG. On the other hand, we can see the decline of Real Madrid with the inclusion of Kylian Mbappe in Real Madrid, even despite having star players like Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo in Real Madrid, Real Madrid doesn't seem to be the best to win the Champions League. Even their attack line seems relatively weak against big teams. If every player in Real Madrid's attack line had good chemistry, then their attack line would be the best line in Europe.

Mbappe played well at Paris Saint-Germain and was comfortable in the group, then obviously he had to leave and he had to prove that he wasn't anyone's shadow because from what you could see he was the shadow of Messi and Neymar and in fact that's why he decided to go

[banana33]

That means he is still fulfilling Hansi Flick's expectations and is playing as well as other strikers for Barcelona. I don't see any good reason to drop him now. His age will definitely speak against him, considering that Barcelona may look for an alternative striker, but there is no need to let Lewandowski go just yet. Funding is a concern for Barcelona, but their financial crisis is not the reason for their poor performance. Last season they won La Liga despite this financial crisis and also did well in the Champions League.

Lewandowski is an excellent player, even for his age, he is still very fit and I think he can still do a lot, I don't understand why Barcelona is trying to get rid of him, now is the time to renew his contract and it's the only way to avoid sinking Barcelona.

If Barcelona really wants to get rid of Lewandowski then it is a big mistake, because from Lewandowski's current game we can see that he is still playing optimally, even last week he was able to score a goal, of course that is a very good role for the Barcelona team, so as you said extending the contract is the solution for Barca at this time, and he has scored 7 goals from 12 appearances this season, of course that is an extraordinary achievement, so until now there is no clarity about the future of Robert Lewandowski.

Furthermore, Barcelona will face Bilbao in their next match. I hope they can secure another three points. Barcelona is really getting closer to the top of the table, so they shouldn't waste this golden opportunity to catch up with Real Madrid.

Hmmm, that's true!!!
Barcelona really need to get the victory and claim the 3 points to reduce the gap for a top spot. Atlantic Bilbo is looking at a little bit challenging schedule for the Catalan giant because Barca havw already lacking with key players due to injuries suspect. But I hope Hansi Flick will try something different to get the victory for top spot competition in league standings....

Besides that if we talked about lineup.... De Jong is out due to sanctions, as well Pedri availability being doubtful, and the rest of the player will be the same in lining up. Now Hansi Flick will try some rotation. Instead of Kounda, he will used Garcia and Olmo as well Casado will be the couple of midfield and Lewandowski, Yamal and Rashford will be the front three for attack.

The main reason Mbappe leave psg because he want to win more trophies and he as not win the Champions League before next he get the believe that if he comes to real madrid he will get the chance to win the title and this season real madrid are in good shap then last season and if they can continue performing good they can get the opportunity to win the Champions League and the laliga this season. Madrid last game in the league and ucl was not good and they need to improve after the international break is over and they need to do better if they want to win trophies this season because if even the league title i don't really have enough hope for real madrid anymore because any losing in any match can make Barcelona top the league again and that will be a tough competition again for real madrid.

[$weetne$$]

Because basically, if Yamal is not given opportunities by Barcelona's midfielders, I'm sure he will struggle. For example, yesterday when many Barcelona players were injured, we can see for ourselves that Barcelona's performance really declined even though Yamal was there and not injured. So from there you can judge that Yamal alone will not be enough to make Barcelona a great team. Because there has never been a history of one player being able to make a team champion.



Furthermore, Barcelona will face Bilbao in their next match. I hope they can secure another three points. Barcelona is really getting closer to the top of the table, so they shouldn't waste this golden opportunity to catch up with Real Madrid.

So at a time we got to see that yamal alone cannot hold the team, beyond having just him alone is the need of having other formidable players who together will get the team performing their best, the poor performance Barcelona has recently is probably beyond just having yamal but some technical issues top but it is one in which I believe they will take care of before we would realise. Against Bilbao I will not be expecting much but if they win, it will be a commendable one, but if they loose then I understand they are having a hard time but I propose a draw.

Barcelona's odds are 1.4 which is perfectly in line with the teams' form and the fact that Barcelona can't afford to drop points right now, so I think they should win this match. By the way Real is playing Elche, and despite it being an away match, I'm even more confident in their victory than in Barcelona's. Real's odds are also around 1.4, so if you take this +match with Barcelona's, it's a pretty good bet overall.

If not that Athletic Bilbao has declined in performance, the bookies wouldn't have given Barcelona that low odd but because they know that there is every tendency that Barcelona will win hence the reason for that low odd. However, Athletic Bilbao might not just allow Barcelona to have an easy win in that game. Don't know what happened to Athletic Bilbao that led them to lose form because when the season started the won about 3 consecutive games and after them they have not return to from again. Real Madrid against Elche shouldn't be a hard game for Madrid so they should be able to win and still remain at the top.

Real and Barça have a very high chance of winning. Although Barcelona's match will be more difficult, I think they will win as well. I don't think Real will allow another surprise after their match against Rayo. The Spanish league rivalry will continue until the end of the year. Every match between Barcelona and Real Madrid is like a final for them.

Lamine Yamal's contribution to Barcelona and the Spanish national team has been truly immense. Especially at Barcelona. He has indeed been able to revive Barcelona. Even after Yamal joined Barcelona, we could see Lewandowski and Raphinha seeming motivated to become sharper attackers. The combination of the three of them often makes it extremely difficult for opponents to counter Barcelona's attacks.

Next season might be different since Barcelona will likely be without Lewandowski. However, Yamal will certainly remain a key player with his assists to support Barcelona's attackers. But in terms of his personal life, Yamal needs to mature and become wiser. Especially now that he is under the spotlight of many media outlets. After all, he is a prodigy in the world of football.

Bilbao's strength this year seems to be slightly lower than last year. Considering Barcelona's similar performance, we'll be in for a match with both teams attacking each other, with the possibility of a draw. I expect the match to be a close game, but as I said, a draw is still a possibility.

[len01]

I agree with you. Underestimating Yamal is a mistake. Yamal is one of the best young players of this era. I don't think anyone doubts that Yamal is a future superstar.

I admit that Yamal does have pretty good skills and it is in the public spotlight to believe that he can become a star player. But I have a question, what about the injury that Yamal is currently experiencing?

The injury suffered by this young player was not easy to heal and took a very long time to truly recover. But how can it be that if you want to become a star player you have to be absent too often and this is one of the serious problems experienced by this young player in pursuing a brilliant career.

Next week or on the 13th week, Real Madrid will face a very easy opponent, Elche. In any aspect, Real Madrid will easily win against Elche. Meanwhile, Barcelona will face a team that can trouble them, a fairly strong team in the Spanish league, Athletic Bilbao. But playing at their own home, at their proud stadium Estadio Olimpico, Barcelona will surely win this match even though it is not an easy game for them.

According to the news I've read, Yamal will need at least two to three weeks of rest. However, there's no certainty as to whether he'll fully recover. And this injury is rare, so it raises questions.

Regarding his ability, I don't think anyone doubts it, although there will certainly be those who dislike him. This is even true of Ronaldo and Messi, whom some people even compare to. At such a young age, he managed to steal the spotlight with his extraordinary talent.
