La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[eisen33]

The next game for Barcelona is against Athletic Bilbao home. Hansi Flick will catch them in a really bad time period of them. You know how bad Athletic Bilbao have been recently.

There is an international break of course and there is no guarantee whether they will return with the same performance. For now we can only talk depending on the recent efforts.

Barcelona have a quite dominant history against them as well. 1.48 looks quite nice for their win...  

Odds of 1.48 with a very high probability of winning are certainly worth betting on.

The international break does allow for anything to happen for a team, but I'm still very optimistic about Barcelona because they have great motivation to catch up on their rivals Real Madrid in the standings. Also, Athletic Bilbao's overall strength hasn't been that great this season, which makes me very confident that Barcelona can win this match.

Barcelona has started to let matches drop points, but now they need to win to keep pace with Real Madrid. It's a good odds bet, but the key is not to bet too much, because Atlético Bilbao can also play well sometimes, but right now they could even lose several times in a row. Athletic Bilbao's main rivals are Espanyol and Betis, and if they want to climb higher, Williams isn't such a good help for his team this time around. Once again, I don't understand why he chose to stay at Athletic Bilbao instead of moving to Barcelona.

Barcelona has good number of players in the team not just Yamal but their performance doesn't seem to be good when Yamal is not available that's why it looks like they are depending on him but in Real Madrid they have more better players now their reserve is what i can not compare because when the first team is not doing well you don't see both coaches bringing players from the reserve team to the rescue they need to do better in that area not just rely on the first team players.

Maybe the absence of yamal does affects their confidence because yamal does play a vital role whenever has to do with finishing, so it is very possible they will have such a very good play but not have the finishing, yamal also does some.veey drastic play maker moves which is really particular to him and so his absence is one which will mean the absence of such. The advantage Madrid has over Barcelona is mostly in their reserves, they have really good players there than Barcelona does in their reserve squad.

I think Real's advantage is not only that they have a broader and higher-quality football squad, but also better organization and finances. Barcelona has had huge financial problems for years and is struggling to survive financially. According to some claims, which I have already shared here, their current debt is 4 billion euros. Of course, such things affect the entire club and the players.

The Spanish players performed very well during the international break, as did the Barcelona players who play for the Spanish national team. Despite being without Lamine Yamal, who is still injured due to puberty, Barcelona still has Ferran Torres, who played quite well as Spain defeated the Georgian national team 0-4. So, with odds of 1.48, Barcelona is still the favorite to win, which is quite convincing to choose Barcelona in this match. With the players in Barcelona's squad, they should easily win against Athletic Bilbao. Trailing Real Madrid by three points, Barcelona's victory at home to Athletic Bilbao is increasingly realistic, so as not to further fall behind Real Madrid.

I believe financial issues have been plaguing Barcelona for the past few seasons. It does have a slight impact on the team, but it doesn't seem to be a significant issue on the pitch. The proof is that El Barça has achieved success despite facing a financial crisis.

Every season in La Liga is dynamic, and Barcelona and Real Madrid are always in the public eye. This season, Real Madrid have undergone a transformation since Alonso's arrival. Their organization is highly structured and supported by a squad that is quite capable for the time being. Barcelona may be a little unsteady due to some fitness issues, but they are still on track, even though they will have to work hard to maintain their title chances.

[bastisisca]

International break have one match left and wish all Madrid's player not get injury and returning back to the club for upcoming match against Elche, Madrid points too close with Barcelona currently after holding draw by Rayo Vallecano last match and currently remaining three points for secure the top position.

I've noticed that unfortunately every year during the World Cup it happens like this: players get injured and miss both national and team matches.
They objectively play too much, so with the World Cup on top, obviously they get tired and get injured.
Let's hope he recovers soon

Daniel91 you are correct, Real Madrid has a better organization and finance I think they are the richest club in the world they are very rich and they can buy any player they want to buy but Barcelona cannot they are limited because of their financial status, Real Madrid has a very good managing director and that is why they are this rich, they use there resources very well and they let go of any player that is demanding for what they can't pay, one of the reasons why Barcelona is in a big debt like these is because of Lionel Messi they were paying him huge amount of money and that really affected the club, they refused to let Lionel Messi go even when they know they couldn't continue paying him, until they couldn't anymore and they had to let him go.

Not that Barcelona are doing any better, if we want to be a little mean.
Even though it's a tough period, Barcelona are definitely the favorites, but given the latest developments in the Barcelona situation, i wouldn't take it for granted. Sorry to play devil's advocate.

Well everyone has got their preference for who they wish to see as favourite, Barcelona has bee doing well and is a known top contender so if you see them as favourite, then they are your own favourite but then there is a favourite derivations by others through their analysis of the statistics made available to them,  so for them, they will regard another team as favourites than they would with Barcelona but it is okay to choose your favourite, support them and hope they will win.

We have different perspectives when it comes to teams, and that's perfectly natural. What makes competition interesting is the differences between the competitors. Barcelona is good, and that's something we know. I appreciate them when they're in trouble, but they still manage to compete and even win.
And in fact, each team has its own problems, but the difference is that some of the problems they face are big, while others are small and relatively easy to solve.

[MArsland]

La Liga will start again, and Barcelona will play first than Real Madrid in the 13th match. This means that the match against Bilbao is quite important to win with the maximum. On the other hand, I see that Real Madrid are in the midst of internal problems, still about players who feel unfamiliar with Xabi Alonso coaching style.
Do you know what I mean? Real Madrid have always been accustomed to relying on individual creativity while in the Xabi Alonso era that method no longer applies, where Xabi emphasizes tactical, disciplined, and system based. In other words for Xabi player status doesn't guarantee a place in the main squad.

Barcelona has started to let matches drop points, but now they need to win to keep pace with Real Madrid. It's a good odds bet, but the key is not to bet too much, because Atlético Bilbao can also play well sometimes, but right now they could even lose several times in a row. Athletic Bilbao's main rivals are Espanyol and Betis, and if they want to climb higher, Williams isn't such a good help for his team this time around. Once again, I don't understand why he chose to stay at Athletic Bilbao instead of moving to Barcelona.

Regarding Williams, I think he feels at home in Bilbao because he can play with his brother or older brother there. I can't think of any other reason. However, other reports say that he actually really wants to move to Barcelona, but Bilbao doesn't seem to have any intention of letting him go because they still really need him.

The Barcelona vs. Bilbao match could certainly produce a surprising result. However, I personally still believe that Barcelona, as the home team, will win this match. But it's understandable if some people still doubt Barcelona, as the team hasn't fully recovered yet, with some players still recovering from injuries and so on.

[dollyamo]

Yamal presence in the squad makes things easier, but overall Barcelona is not too dependent on Yamal, at least for now. Barcelona under Hansi Flick relies more on young players, some of whom have developed into starters. Real Madrid still doesn't fully trust the abilities of players from the Academy, they prefer to bring in established players to serve as cover for key players. I think, Barcelona young players (especially those from the academy) are luckier than Real Madrid young players, they get playing time more easily because the coach has full confidence in their abilities.

Barcelona is not depending on Yamal at all and this is a very important thing and they are trying to do without him at least so it seems, however Spain is doing the same thing, he is certainly a great player but this does not give him permission to behave as he is doing

[bitgolden]

I don't think Barcelona depend on Lewandoski more then they depend on Lamine Yamal, I don't believe that because the only thing Lewandoski does is to score goal and if there is no pass would he score? No. That is why Lamine Yamal is more relied on because he creates big chances, score and he also disorganises defenders, he is an exceptional player in Barcelona and most of the game he didn't play, Barcelona could not create big chances and don't get me wrong, Lewandoski is also good and they rely on him but not as much as they rely on Lamine Yamal because he's a great talent.

Barcelona probably depends on all their players equally as much as they can. Lewandowski scores a lot, Yamal assists very well but also sometimes scores, and when he is back and healthy Raphinha does both of them. But not just those three, they trust cubarsi, balde, pedri, goalkeepr (sorry can't write that name lol) and many more.

So the idea of Barcelona is to be a team, while it's true that for many years they trusted Messi to help them out, there aren't any Messi type of figure in the team anymore, they are trying to make it a team as a whole and not just one star. Which is why at times you can rely on a player if other bigger players are injured, like when Raphinha and Pedri and Lewandowski was out, surely Yamal was the star, but normally, they do not play like that.

[ZekiBeyy]

In my opinion, despite Barcelona’s inconsistent form in recent weeks, they still need to win this match to stay in the race with Real Madrid. Even though Athletic Bilbao may look out of form, they have proven many times that they are capable of pulling off surprises. So even if Barcelona are the favorites on paper, it’s hard to say that the match is completely guaranteed.

Barcelona can certainly win, but given their fluctuating form and the fact that teams are returning from an international break, it’s wise to stay cautious. From a betting perspective, approaching the match without staking too much seems like the most reasonable choice.

Player injuries are important and dangerous for success of a club as if a club have an injury crisis, it's very hard to maintain good performances and results logically become worse than usual with best player resource. Barcelona have to play in both UEFA Champions League and La Liga, together with Copa del Rey, so in a long season, they need to have as least player injuries as possible in order to have as best squad as possible in most important competitions like La Liga and Champions League. At highest level, any star player injury can affect Barcelona performance, result and even success or failure of a competition.

Barcelona can win this match but with many star players return from FIFA days, there is risk of exhaustion that can affect their performances for Barcelona. It will give Athletic Bilbao good opportunity for having points from Barcelona. Barcelona from their side have to win this match as two clubs Villareal and Atletico Madrid can take advantage of a draw or defeat from Barcelona to reduce point differences or even take over a second position from Barcelona.

Real Madrid has a better organization and finance I think they are the richest club in the world they are very rich and they can buy any player they want to buy but Barcelona cannot they are limited because of their financial status, Real Madrid has a very good managing director and that is why they are this rich, they use there resources very well and they let go of any player that is demanding for what they can't pay, one of the reasons why Barcelona is in a big debt like these is because of Lionel Messi they were paying him huge amount of money and that really affected the club, they refused to let Lionel Messi go even when they know they couldn't continue paying him, until they couldn't anymore and they had to let him go.

Real Madrid is indeed a very wealthy club. Look at this wiki, their net worth is much higher than Barcelonas $ 5.65 billion, which is $ 6.75 billion. Real Madrid has a big advantage, they earn more than 1.06 billion euros per year, while Barcelona is limited only by Messis salary, which would not be very accurate to say.

However, in some cases, they have seen a huge financial crisis due to high salary costs, debts of more than 1 billion euros, but a large part of this debt is not only because of Messi, but also because of the poor payment system, real estate projects, and poor cost management.

If you look at Real Madrids financial management, it looks much more streamlined &  organized. But Barcelonas problem is not just for one player, their problem is deeper &  more complex. Because in this case, the game is played not only on field however also on the blank pages of the economic  ledger

I’ve said it before top teams have enough money to buy 22 good players, and they need to rotate them. So I’m not sorry when someone gets injured—these players earn big money, and they’re expected to play. Teams also need to adapt by using more and more players to keep up with the demands of today’s football. I can’t feel sorry for someone who earns 100k a week. You earn that to play, so play and don’t complain.

Maybe a win for Barcelona I think in this game but will it be a walk in the park, I don’t think so. Both team have been inconsistent since the beginning of season, Barcelona are not the team we saw last season, maybe it because they still have a key player out injured which I believed will be very available in this game when they play after the international break. Atletico Bilbao have also not been that good this season especially in big games, but in games like this you can’t rule them out.

It a must win for Barcelona if they really want to keep pressure on Real Madrid, it a 2 points gap between both teams and any team who should lose a game now would be very exposed in the race. Honestly for me I think I would be gambling on Barcelona to win this match, the odd looks very tempting and for sure I’m gambling on it.

Barcelona is Real Madrid main rival. In other to catch-up with Real Madrid, barcelona will have to defeat Athletic Bilbao. This game won and Barcelona will have the same points as Real Madrid.  Their last encounter with Athletic Bilbao was around six months ago when Barcelona won away in a 3-0 victory with Robert lewandowski and Dani Olmo scoring against Athletic Bilbao. That time Raphinha, lewandowski and Yamal was in the game and their were in great form,unfortunately Raphinha will Missed this current game due to Injury. Barcelona without Raphinha will secure victory against Athletic Bilbao.

You should know that two things are involve whenever a player is been hyped and is either that player will do more better that is improve more or that player will start misbehaving so I don't really know what exactly you said he is doing but I believe one of the thing that make him behave anyhow or misbehave is age, Lamine Yamal is still a small boy and things can easily influence him now most especially ladies, he will want to explore he will be dread my ladies but instead of following him hot I think the best thing he needs now is personal coaching more like an adviser.

Star players or no Star players Barcelona isn't going to back down easily, they know that a lot is at stake and they really need this game to step up...atl Madrid are at the fourth position on the league table and they would want to do their best to level up but Barcelona are not going to give up the second position easily...my prediction for this game is Barcelona to win in full time, I'm sure they will
