La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Kuingsudaqila]

That's the prize that comes with coaching great teams, they always demand for the maximum best and the coaches also knows this that's why they are always trying to be up and doing. As for how Ancelotti performed with the team in his last season, I don't blame him not even one bit. I blame the management because they knew that Real Madrid was having injury problems and he requested for players and the management gave him not a single player at the start of last season, he had to made do of what ever that was available. Perez should be blamed for last seasons poor performance and not Ancelotti.

Yea, I agree with you. Ancelotti did his best for the Real Madrid. Last season poor performance wasn't his fault because you cannot win trophies with  injured players. I was surprised that they put the blame on him which led to his sack. Perez should have come out plain and say that he's tired of the old man instead of blaming him wrongly.

However, the club feels that they need a young and talented coach with good experience that can spend more time with the players to tighten the team bond and improve their performance overtime.

Ancelotti got some criticism and wasn't entirely seen as an hero in his final season before leaving but I must say he was still given some amount of respect because it was a mutual agreement for him to leave at the end of the season.  If it was any manager, after his first shameful defeats against Barcelona he would have been sacked and it was not like he wasn't entirely at fault since he could have at least strengthened his squad especially during the January transfer window but he continues to sticks with his tradition of not signing much players while key players were a orn out already after so many games.

Ancelotti had this special quality that he tried to develop the players in the team because he worked hard to increase the team potential. He faced criticism towards the end of his tenure. Not only because of his own faults but the players were also blamed for the team poor performance the manager was largely blamed. During his tenure he played a leading role in taking Real Madrid to a strong position but due to injuries and poor form of some key players they could not finish last season well. Despite starting the current season well they have not yet developed the ability to win trophies. Therefore, they need to practice and work harder.

But Carlo Ancelotti's handling of Brazil has not been able to bring Brazil to its best performance, and even the formation used to manage Brazil is controversial with a 4-2-2-2 pattern with Rodrygo as the striker. In fact, at Real Madrid, Rodrygo rarely plays, and when he does, his position is not as a striker but as a winger in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation. This shows a messy formation in handling Brazil. The poor results under Carlo Ancelotti include Brazil losing to the weak team Bolivia and also losing to the Asian team Japan. However, overall, the football authorities in Brazil are satisfied with Ancelotti's performance and he has led Brazil to qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup.

One such factor is Dean Huijsen , who just picked up an injury, now, Real Madrid will assess their center back. Thus, there are 5 Real Madrid players who are currently injured including Dean Huijsen, and 3 in his squad, again defenders.

Once again Real Madrid has to lose a defender, what a bad fate, how can they maintain their top position if their defense continues to experience problems? Of course, this is more difficult than imagined, Barcelona prayers seem to have been answered because their arch rivals are also experiencing the same problems, more and more injuries will certainly affect the club's performance, the competition for the top of the standings will be more interesting because currently Real Madrid and Barcelona may be balanced, not just one sided because both teams will try hard to face their problems to face many matches ahead because their journey is still very long.

Not yet, mate. More sad news has come from Real Madrid, where their defender, Miltaio, has once again suffered an injury while playing for his national team, Brazil. Now that the center-back is undergoing an examination, this adds to the long-standing question for Real Madrid's back line, regarding how Real Madrid's defensive crisis will unfold in the next match in La Liga. Xabi must be more strategic again to deal with this.

There is no confirmation concerning his injury right now, it happened yesterday during the game between Tunisia against Brazil, well Militao have been injured for a very long time now, and he just came back from injury not too long ago, right now Real Madrid will be very worried about him and his health, his had some bad injury record and the way he left the game he must have felt something, but let’s hope it’s nothing actually serious that will sideline him for a very long time, the club doctors will have to access him first to see the nature of the injury, and they will have to take a decision and also know if it’s something that is actually serious, the club and the manager will definitely be worried because he is an important player for the team.

It's not really competitive because every season the championship competition is only between Real Madrid and Barcelona. If lucky, Atletico Madrid can appear in the title race and even become champions, but that's only if they're lucky; Atletico Madrid can't compete and fight closely with Real Madrid and Barcelona every season. Real Madrid has only added Mbappe to their attacking lineup. What makes them stronger besides Mbappe is their current coach, Xabi Alonso, who joined at the beginning of the season from Bayer Leverkusen.

Real Madrid and Barcelona has turn this league to a family league, literally in the last 5 years, only Atlantico Madrid has a chance to win that of 20/21 season, the rest was shared between Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is why every season, the competition is between Madrid and Barca, the rest of the teams only do their best to make sure they appear in the top 4 so they can make chance to appear in the Champions League or maybe have a special place in the Europa league and Europa conference league. There is no motivation from other teams to win this league even in the next 5 years.

[Egii Nna]

It's always anxious being first on the table especially in a competitive league like Laliga. It's actually a good thing to secure the top spot but three points lead is not enough advantage at all because any slight mistake would make them to forfeit that position. Real madrid is not as weak as they were last season, they look strong and improve this season with hope of winning the league. Barcelona as their top rival and contender is not weak but their performance is declining compared to last season. The league is half way with a lot of possibilities ahead of us thereby making it difficult to predict the champion with just three points differences between the first and second.

Exactly, La Liga is always about Barcelona or Real Madrid. When it gets more serious, that is when we see Atlético Madrid. I think that the last time we saw a club (Girona) that tried to make the league competitive was the 2023/24 season. That was when Girona tried and even made it to the top of the table at mid-season, which at the end they were still not able to even finish as runner up.

So, this season might still change, even though I know that Real Madrid are now strong. But they have only played 10 games out of 38 games, so they still have a long way to go to determine the winner of the trophy this season. But saying La Liga is competitive, that is not true, unless if it is competitive only between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Competitive only for Real Madrid and Barcelona alone, the rest there is no team that is able to match the strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona as a whole, only Atlético Madrid often joins the competition between the two Spanish giants but is also not very consistent because financially the La Liga team is far different from Real Madrid and Barcelona so I think it is natural that no other team is able to compete with it.

Yes, in reality, the competition in La Liga is nothing more than between Barcelona and Real Madrid. So, with that in mind, I don't think La Liga can be considered a particularly intense football league. Because the intense competition only applies to Real Madrid and Barcelona each season. So, basically, if you look at it, La Liga is a bit boring. Because basically, other teams are only used as complements in La Liga. So I also don't know why La Liga has become like this and hasn't changed much since then. In fact, if we look at the English Premier League and other major European leagues, the competition is always exciting, and every season there are always dark horses that stand out at the top of the standings.

It is true that in other leagues, there is fierce competition between the top teams, but in La Liga, that picture is not seen. If we look at the statistics of the last few years, this can be easily seen. Where the difference between the first and second teams is very large and the same is true for the third and fourth. In this season, Real Madrid is 3 points ahead from Barcelona and the difference between the closest rivals is not much. How fierce this competition will be in the end remains to be seen.

Eder Militao getting injured again, Madrid and her fans will not be happy about this, he missed almost all of last season and now they’re trying to get back on winning track both he and Dean Huijsen are out injured. More defensive problems it’ll be interesting to see how they play in their next games. Xabi Alonso will have to be more tactical to manage this situation.
This is definitely good news for Barcelona and her fans, a problem for Madrid is a happiness to us Barça fans and vice versa.

This is certainly not good news for Real Madrid and its fans, the FIFA virus that has eaten away at several key Real Madrid players has made it increasingly difficult for Alonso to formulate a strategy, this incident reminds me of last season when Ancelotti was still in charge. The limited number of players available in the defensive area is Real Madrid weak point. They may be good in attack, but if the defense is weak, it will be difficult to withstand the opponent's attacks. Let's just see how Real Madrid performs in the next few matches, if they struggle with conditions like this, Barcelona will take advantage of Real Madrid weaknesses.

It has never been seen in the league, because they have never had the interest, to invest in other teams like Atletico, who i think a long time ago even reached the Champions League final, so teams that are also strong, but there are no right investments.

The wait is finally over for Barcelona! 

It has been a really long time since the works on expanding the capacity started. They have aimed to raise it to 105,000. It must have been more than 2 years...

I think this can make some boosting effect on the performance level of the team. But this still doesn't change the fact that their job will be quite difficult against a strong Real Madrid in the league.

[bastisisca]

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.

Of course, expectations are very high, and rightly so. The hearts of fans never beat in vain; they're capable of gestures of enormous generosity if they get what they want, which isn't just a victory, but above all, love reciprocated by their beloved team. This is one of the ways

The La Liga title race is quite boring. Only Barcelona and Real Madrid are in the title race until the end of the season. Teams like Villarreal or Atletico Madrid may play a little better at the beginning of the season, but they gradually fall behind in the title race.

This season too, only Madrid and Barcelona are fighting for the title. The difference in points between the two teams is 3. Villarreal is 2 points behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is 3 points behind. The difference in points is very small. But since the performances of these teams are irregular, it will not be possible for Villarreal or Atletico Madrid to be in the top 2 of the table.

Real Madrid and Barcelona always bring the best players to their clubs, so it is natural for these two teams to compete and it is natural for one of these two teams to win the trophy. La Liga is already popular, and the main reason for the popularity of La Liga is that there are two teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona in this league. The match between Real Madrid vs Barcelona is still considered the most competitive match in club football. In which season Real Madrid wins the La Liga title and in which season Barcelona wins the La Liga title, that is, which of these two teams will win the title can be said as soon as the season starts. This season we can see that Real Madrid is performing better than Barcelona, but in terms of winning the title, Real Madrid is being kept slightly ahead of Barcelona.

Barcelona are bringing out all the available grit they have, despite injuries and slowdowns due to these unexpected events.
We cannot say otherwise and he certainly does not allow himself to be intimidated by Bilbao, clearly on paper everything seems to make us think of this.
Then as we all know Football is always unpredictable and could even give us great action from Bilbao and watch an entertaining match.
Before placing a bet i would like to wait a few more days.

As for placing a bet, it's okay to be slow, as the match itself is still a long way off, this weekend. But realistically, based on the teams' condition, I don't think picking Barcelona to beat Bilbao would be wrong. Bilbao themselves haven't been particularly good and are still below Barcelona in terms of ability, so most people would definitely choose Barcelona over Bilbao, even though anything could go wrong in their match this weekend.

It has nothing to do with Real Madrid, especially since Real Madrid often steals points at Camp Nou, However if Barcelona can play at Camp Nou again after the stadium has been renovated, of course they will have much greater motivation with the full support of the fans and I see from the side of the big profits that management will get after the stadium capacity is increased.

Barcelona remains the favorite in this match irrespective of their present challenges. Bilbao does not have the quality to withstand Barcelona because I believe that Yamal absence wouldn't affect them that much. However, Bilbao shouldn't be underestimated since they have few players that can maneuver the ball into the back of the net.

Obviously Barcelona would make light work of their opponents, Bilbao because most of their players or should I say key players are out injured and although it's good news that Nico Williams is back in training, I always like to believe he works well with his brother , Iñaki who is still out injured. Barcelona have to reduce the point gap Madrid had over them so definitely that's enough reason for Bilbao to feel the heat that Barcelona would bring.
 It was before I used to regard Atletico Bilbao as a stubborn team but now, they are just empty drums and although they might present a difficult front, Barcelona would still manoeuvre their way out and get the three points.

In fact, every time I play for the national teams the problem is always injuries and there are always some, this is something that shouldn't always happen again.
Why do clubs pay millions for these players who then break down and can no longer play?

[Renampun]

And this weekend Barcelona will be facing a tough club in the league competition against Athletico Bilbao and that is not a small team so I get the believe that Barcelona can probably drop a point in the match if they perform weak the way they do against Celta Vigo they just get luck on the match they should have lost the three point and they won't like to risk tough players in the game because after playing against Athletico Bilbao they will prepare for the Champions League again, Hansi Flick need to be ready to face daby games after the break is over.

Barcelona will win this match because they will play in their proud stadium, and Barcelona is expected to be ready to field Yamal and Raphinha in this match, this will not create a chance for Bilbao to win higher and it is very likely that Barcelona will get an additional 3 points from this match, moving them closer to Real Madrid, who currently sit at the top of the table.

Real Madrid needs to win against Elche in their next match if they want to avoid being usurped by Barcelona at the top of the table.

Yes, in fact it has always been like this and I don't think it will change much, but just look at the series and it is like this too but I can't understand why in reality it is not possible to do something like this, now at the moment it is impossible for someone to put themselves in the middle of those two squares
