La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[reefsea]

We see that Barcelona is experiencing the same problem Real Madrid experienced last year. Real Madrid lost the championship last year because of it. This year, Barcelona is struggling with injuries. The hardest thing is winning despite injured players. Real Madrid didn't win the championship last year because of injured players. Barcelona's performance this year intrigues me.

Last season Real Madrid did suffered some set back due to some injuries but this season they took it upon themselves to prevent it from repeating as much as possible, meanwhile Barcelona were able to effect duch mostly due to their financial struggle which i do not thinking they have settled completely. We only keep hoping Barcelona will get passed this in the nearest time possible.

Injuries are difficult to avoid, but the mistake Madrid made last season was that they knew there would be a hurricane of injuries because they had experienced it many times before, but they didn't prepare a backup plan because Ancelotti always told the media that he always believed in his squad.

It was a positive thing, but it set them back because they weren't prepared for the hurricane of injuries that occurred.
Now in the Xabi era they are more prepared even for the defense there are some very good players but Xabi is still trying to find some players as options or warmers in the competition for the main line-up so for now a few Madrid players are missing but they are still comfortable because the options are getting more and more for now.

Barcelona suffering from back to back injuries can cost them the league this season, they need to look into this problem if they want to correct the problem on time. They can't afford to be be having their big players miss out on matches because of injuries. If you look at the la Liga table this season you can see how this problem is affecting their stats. Real Madrid on the other hand know how to cease opportunities and I feel that's exactly what they are doing...if Barca doesn't correct their injury problem on-time, Rea Madrid will use it to thier advantage and win the league this season.

The only thing the coach of Barcelona needs to do is to watch the kind of training his players are doing and their fitness should be checked before they begin any match so that any player that is not completely fit will not be risked in a game so that it doesn't put the team into more injury problems, they are suffering from different injuries which will keep affecting the teams performance if nothing is done to stop the injury cases and their rivals Real Madrid will take advantage of their situation to dominate them more and stand a better chance of winning the league since they know that Barcelona will be without their key players they will always find it hard to win strong games.

You need to understand that injuries is something you can’t avoid, regardless of how much you think are playing with caution as player, its must happen to if it’s written, as long as you will play ball. So saying the coach should check or do anything before they play their match, is always done, not even by the coach but the professional who are specialized in doing such are doing it before the players start playing their matches.

So the only thing I will say is that we should hope that any injury that Barcelona player will go at this time should be a minor one that can make him comeback to field in a should period of time. if not if Madrid secure many points and gap Barcelona with many pints then this season will be a difficult one for them and won’t go with any trophy.

Injuries are inevitable especially when the players are overworked and Flick is still doing just that as the players are forced to stay at their best with no rotation despite a busy schedule.

It's just that if you look now it is indeed this condition that Flick will still do at Barcelona on the grounds that some young players whose experience is still below have little difficulty in adapting to senior players, especially those who are struggling financially which makes them unable to do much in player transfers.
This condition cannot be prevented for now because Flick will also not be able to play with a young squad as a whole which makes some players become shortened and lose their fitness due to fatigue.

Injuries are everywhere and you must not avoid it, but if you have more players in the bench that can come into the a game and perform close to that of the starter player, the team is ready for the season. Real Madrid wanted to work towards it but since they are having players problem before Alonso took over, now Alonso have to take it step by step and it has started to improve the team because he will soon offload all these old defenders they are frequently getting injured.

Barcelona on the other hand have no cases on this since no matter how the players that they see or want, they don’t have the money to set up that type of squad; therefore, for now, they need to win trophies to generate money to the club.

Injuries are difficult to avoid, but the mistake Madrid made last season was that they knew there would be a hurricane of injuries because they had experienced it many times before, but they didn't prepare a backup plan because Ancelotti always told the media that he always believed in his squad.

No one knows when a storm of injuries will hit a team in a season, but when a coach is confident enough in his decisions, it is very possible for him to have a backup plan. Ancelotti can't force his way into increasing the squad when he has to leave at the end of the season, so the chances of it being approved are very low and you probably know what Perez said at the time. Not bringing in new players doesn't mean a coach doesn't have a plan, it's just that Ancelotti's plan didn't end up as expected.

It was a positive thing, but it set them back because they weren't prepared for the hurricane of injuries that occurred.
Now in the Xabi era they are more prepared even for the defense there are some very good players but Xabi is still trying to find some players as options or warmers in the competition for the main line-up so for now a few Madrid players are missing but they are still comfortable because the options are getting more and more for now.

Having some good substitutes is certainly worth considering, but a good player won't be content to sit on the bench all season. They'll demand playing time and that's one of the factors to consider when bringing in new players. Even Real Madrid currently has enough players and Xabi certainly has the option to replace and rotate if needed.

All what I'm saying is Barcelona should be able to survive with injuries hitting them front and back. Barcelona is an elite team popularly known for winning titles was this season is not even an exception for them not to lift major trophies. Hansi Flick is in the club and he carries his managerial role perfectly, let's see what he will be able to do with Barcelona this season as long as he's incharge and have the best players on his side.

Barcelona is not like Real Madrid that will easily get affected when their injury blow comes. Barcelona are survivors and will always fight their way through to the very top. This is Barcelona we're talking about, we would love to see them do well and bring excellent results atleast to cheer up the fans and management.

If we have been following real Madrid for sometimes now, we can be able to tell that, the real Madrid of last season is not of this season as they have completely improved in their game play. Ever since the start of this season, we can tell that there is a little bit of improvement, with the way they press, attack and even try to win the ball more often, so it was clear that, real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti was a completely attacking tactics and individual brilliance and this is just it.
This season is a different ball game. My hope with the team is for them to keep the tempo of the game has they have started already if they want to finish well.

[GbitG]

Barcelona current squad is stronger than Real Madrid and has the ability to win every match, but if you consider the players on the bench, then Real Madrid's position is relatively good and they have become a front-line team this season. Their position in other leagues is not so weak. Although Barca is in a bit of a slump, they are not completely dependent on Lamine Yamal and are capable of winning without him. They have formed a squad consisting of the best forward players in the world. After Raphinha returns from injury, the team will be even stronger. Experienced forward Robert Lewandowski is currently in great form. And Marcus Rashford is a great player for assist.

Definitely, Barcelona have better squad depth, but right now there is some injuries which slightly decline their performance from recent. If all of their players have fully recovered and start up with the regular sheet then probably their performance level will be tested in the top flight. Currently Raphina, Pedri, Johan Garcia, Ter Stegen and Gavi are trailing with injuries suspect. Some of the just Pedri and Raphina is in a recovery mode and the rest are still have long way.....

However, upcoming schedule is on the way and gradually players are recovering. Hansi Flick is also waiting for his players to fully recover, and then he will start work to regain his place, and I hope soon they will start the domination track.

We only keep hoping Barcelona will get passed this in the nearest time possible.

Considering that Real Madrid lost the championship last year due to injuries, we can understand Barcelona's fear of injuries this year. They want to win the title this year, and injuries are the biggest obstacle to that. Their squad quality is sufficient to win the title because they have some truly excellent players. However, if they can't utilize these players when they're injured, their chances of winning the title are low.

A team that manages to avoid injury problems will be very fortunate in the race for trophies. This season, Barcelona are experiencing such issues, and if these injuries persist for a longer period, it is very likely to become a major obstacle for them in their pursuit of silverware. We certainly still remember Madrid campaign last season, they failed to win the La Liga title because they lost several key players, which was also the reason they fell short in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Pedri, Raphinha, and Joan García are reportedly set to return soon, and I think their comeback gives Hansi Flick some relief. So far, Barcelona still have a chance to win everything, however, we never know what might happen going forward. The competition will become increasingly intense as the season progresses, and Hansi Flick must work hard to overcome every challenge, even though his squad condition is far from ideal.

[Iamgoat]

The only thing the coach of Barcelona needs to do is to watch the kind of training his players are doing and their fitness should be checked before they begin any match so that any player that is not completely fit will not be risked in a game so that it doesn't put the team into more injury problems, they are suffering from different injuries which will keep affecting the teams performance if nothing is done to stop the injury cases and their rivals Real Madrid will take advantage of their situation to dominate them more and stand a better chance of winning the league since they know that Barcelona will be without their key players they will always find it hard to win strong games.

Hansi  Flick really need to tighten up on his players fitness checks and training sessions because this their injury wave if you like, is killing them right now. Let's look at this thing together, as of middle of this month, they got like eight to ten players out from Gavi who left with his meniscus tear till late February, Ter Stergen back injury has not even gotten any date yet, Lewandowski has muscle issues which he may likely be ready to come back by December. As for Raphinha his hamstring injury cannot also allow him play for El Classico games and more and you see the reason why their performance dip losing 2 - 1 to Real Madrid in El Classico on 26 October left them five points behind at the top with Madrid on 27 points.

Recent times we can say, injury is what is giving them the hard time, they have been performing to there best but not as when the squad is complete. Barcelona are not having much players to be substituted for and the few they have are basically our for some weeks/month, so the problem is, how do they want to cope. So if we can say that, having more players as a team gives you the flexibility to perform at your best even though there are some level of injury crisis, is still gives the chances to allow other players that are fully fit to play.

Barcelona is returning to Camp Nou this week. I think this is important news because playing at home always gives them an advantage. Playing in front of their own fans, with the support of 105,000 people, is very important both financially and emotionally, rather than playing on smaller pitches.
The stadium will reopen with the Athletic Bilbao match, but only 45,000 people will be admitted as construction continues. Once the stadium is completed, it will hold 105,000 people. Barca is one of the biggest teams that sells out every match. This ticket revenue will greatly help their financial structure.

[Toro iskandar]

I also share your point of view, Barcelona needs this win, but Athletic Bilbao is not an easy team and can sometimes spring surprises, although I think Barcelona is obliged to beat such an opponent at home. Real Madrid also has many players who have played for their national teams, but I don't think that will hinder them much in beating Elche, even if it's an away match. I'd also bet on both teams to score in the match against Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona concede almost every game.

Whatever happens, Barcelona will win this match, although Athletic cannot be underestimated. However, playing at home makes Barcelona even more determined to get all three points.
If this is a betting opportunity to get decent odds, I'd probably prefer the Asian handicap of -1.25.
Barcelona has scored an average of 3 goals in their previous 5 matches, and Athletic can probably score at least one goal

Athletic Bilbao will be at their best against Barcelona. Considering Barcelona's injuries and absences, they're losing their position as favorites. Of course, when it comes to Barcelona, ​​they have the potential to win every match, but with so many injured players now, no score is guaranteed.

Yes, I understand the injury news may have raised some doubts, but according to transfermarkt, Raphinha should be able to feature in that match and help Lewandowski score more goals.
However, if Hansi Flick still deems Raphinha not fully recovered, it seems Lewandowski will be the mainstay and expected to provide the winning goal for Barcelona.
Lamine Yamal may also be absent, but we'll have to wait and see what Hansi Flick decides

Barcelona fans have waited so long for this moment so it'll be a monumental moment for them to return to the now improved Camp Nou. As a Real Madrid fan, there's nothing exciting about the news though. Hopefully, when the return fixture of this season's league El Clasico will be played there, Real Madrid should win the game. And for their game against Athletic Bilbao this weekend, I backing the visiting team to get a result from the game

[GbitG]

Injuries are difficult to avoid, but the mistake Madrid made last season was that they knew there would be a hurricane of injuries because they had experienced it many times before, but they didn't prepare a backup plan because Ancelotti always told the media that he always believed in his squad.

It was a positive thing, but it set them back because they weren't prepared for the hurricane of injuries that occurred.
Now in the Xabi era they are more prepared even for the defense there are some very good players but Xabi is still trying to find some players as options or warmers in the competition for the main line-up so for now a few Madrid players are missing but they are still comfortable because the options are getting more and more for now.

Yeah, obviously you just spotted a good point. At the time of Angelotti, Real Madrid didn't even sign any backup players, and to be honest, that's why he, Carlos Angelotti have failed to win a big trophy. Every coach needs to demand from a club to sign them backup players. Because of the tough schedule, many players have been injured, and if you didn't have backup, then probably your team will slightly drop in performance. So the big mistake of Angelotti is that he didn't even demand for new signing and in mid of season he fell too frustrated due to injuries....

Now Xabi Alonso is smart he knows the job like he already have a lot of player in their squad depth but still he is demanding more players. Like in the next window, he will try to used new back up players.

Barcelona suffering from back to back injuries can cost them the league this season, they need to look into this problem if they want to correct the problem on time. They can't afford to be be having their big players miss out on matches because of injuries. If you look at the la Liga table this season you can see how this problem is affecting their stats. Real Madrid on the other hand know how to cease opportunities and I feel that's exactly what they are doing...if Barca doesn't correct their injury problem on-time, Rea Madrid will use it to thier advantage and win the league this season.

The only thing the coach of Barcelona needs to do is to watch the kind of training his players are doing and their fitness should be checked before they begin any match so that any player that is not completely fit will not be risked in a game so that it doesn't put the team into more injury problems, they are suffering from different injuries which will keep affecting the teams performance if nothing is done to stop the injury cases and their rivals Real Madrid will take advantage of their situation to dominate them more and stand a better chance of winning the league since they know that Barcelona will be without their key players they will always find it hard to win strong games.

This condition cannot be prevented for now because Flick will also not be able to play with a young squad as a whole which makes some players become shortened and lose their fitness due to fatigue.

The injury problems of Barcelona is not really their main issue at the moment, the players have somehow dipped in form due to maybe fatigue and overwork. There are players available that Hansi Flick could use but maybe due to their performance they’re not been used. I think the players who ain’t playing regularly should up their game. Roony B. and some other guys have not performed to their expectations.
Injury isn’t the problem of Barcelona, their available players are underperforming and that’s just it.

[Adbitco]

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.

Wow, is it up to this amount now? I thought it was around maybe €2+ billion considering the fact that they took about €1.2 billion for the renovation of the Camp Nou. Prior to this season, the club announced that they made some profits for last season and that they are recovering financially, was this announcement false! Well Barcelona seems just fine or maybe they are hiding a lot still from the public.

[Tamaperdana]

If we compare the bench of Barcelona and Real Madrid, then the bench of Real Madrid is really much better. I agree with this. Because Barcelona does not have such a player on the bench as Real Madrid has. But I do not think its good  that Barcelona is too dependent on Yamal. Apart from Yamal, Barcelona has many good players who can turn the situation of the match. Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Pedri, Fermín López are also a very important part whose contribution has a lot of effect.

It's undeniable that when we compare Barcelona's second-tier players with Real Madrid's, Real Madrid is clearly superior. While Real Madrid's second-tier players aren't particularly impressive, they can effectively cover the gaps in Real Madrid's squad. Therefore, Real Madrid's performance has been quite consistent compared to Barcelona's. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, has relied too heavily on Yamal, a mistake that could prove fatal if continued in the long term. Therefore, Barcelona must immediately change tactics and not focus solely on one player.

The problem is that players like Pedri and Raphinha are also injured, so Hansi Flick, Barcelona's coach, can't do much about it. But I'm confident that, even though Barcelona is currently in a disadvantageous situation, if all of their key players are back, I'm sure their performance will improve. So, right now, Barcelona just needs to hang on a little longer and avoid dropping too many points. Because if Barcelona drops points too often, their chances of recovering and overcoming the deficit will undoubtedly be much more difficult. So, right now, Barcelona really must defend with all their might.

Barca is one of the biggest teams that sells out every match. This ticket revenue will greatly help their financial structure.

The supervisors may need to audit the Barcelona management to look at the mistakes. I don't know why Barcelona has a financial problem if their ticket always sold out, and they have bustling sales of merchandise. They also don't have expensive players with high salaries like Messi, so it's strange that they are short of money. Maybe for this moment they only received half the benefit because under construction, but they have high broadcasting rights, and there is no one who does not know a team like Barcelona, so that can be easy to collect money for the club from a big sponsor.

Well Barcelona seems just fine or maybe they are hiding a lot still from the public.

Barcelona is still grappling with financial problems. It's fair to say that the new stadium cost them a fortune. However, they're nearing completion, and their expenses will be significantly reduced. The money earned after the stadium is completed will be a significant gain for Barcelona. The process they've endured for years will finally come to a happy end. For now, they're still seen as a team facing financial difficulties.
