La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Shineup]

It's quite sad to see how more and more Real Madrid players are suffering from injuries. The latest update is that Militao has a muscle injury and will be out for around two weeks. This means he will miss matches against Elche, Olympiacos, Girona, and Athletic (both in the Champions League and La Liga).

Source: Eder Militão is expected to miss 2 weeks

If absent for only 2 weeks, it will not have a major impact on the team; 2 weeks means missing only 2 matches in the league. So it will not significantly affect the overall strength of the team. If it is a national duty, all teams in the top European leagues will experience the same situation, as injuries causing absences can happen. But every team has competitive substitutes who are more or less on par with the main players, so when a player gets injured, there is adequate backup to replace the injured player, especially for elite and wealthy clubs at the level of Real Madrid.

Yes, it's true that an elite club like Real Madrid never lacks players. The news of Militao's injury will be able to be replaced by others who are not much better than him. Being absent for 2 weeks means Militao has to miss two La Liga matches and for Real Madrid it doesn't really affect the team's performance. Every team has the same substitute players, especially Real

Madrid has a ton of top players sitting on the bench. The international break as a whole. Big teams lose their core players and even get injured when they return to the team and Militao's injury does not affect Real Madrid's overall performance at all.

Militao's injury can never cost Real Madrid anything besides that if we are talking about injury Real Madrid has no injury players compare to FC Barcelona Barcelona has been suffering for injury players since the starting of the season till now I believe that is the more reason rumor has it that they want to get Harry Kane in this January transfer window, so despite that injury Real Madrid is still good to go and for this matches you just listed here Militao absent won't really matter that much like Real Madrid is winning those games straight up.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are fairly evenly matched in terms of strength, but we don't know which team will be able to maintain consistency until the end of the season. The possibility of overtaking Real Madrid at the top of the standings is certainly there, especially since the gap between the two teams is only three points, which isn't a difficult feat.

I'm not really favoring either Barcelona or Real Madrid because the odds are still 50-50 for either team to win the La Liga title this season. Regardless, we'll see a fierce competition between the two this season, and it could certainly be much fiercer than last season.

If we talk about who will be the champion of La Liga this season, it is still very difficult to predict. Because this season's matches have only reached 12 games, many matches have yet to be played, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are only 3 points apart, with Atletico Madrid not far behind either. Atletico Madrid currently has 26 points and is only 5 points behind. Atletico Madrid also has a fairly capable squad to compete and create surprises between Real Madrid and Barcelona. This season, Real Madrid has already played against Atletico Madrid, and Atletico managed to win decisively, beating Real Madrid with a final score of 5-2. This indicates that Atletico Madrid is also strong and cannot be underestimated.

It's too early to talk about who will be crowned champions. The league has only just started, and the points tallies are still very close, and that could change in just one match. Only 12 weeks have passed, and there are still 28 matches left. Talking about 28 matches, there are many possibilities, but in just five matches, I usually see a significant change.

The competition is very tight between the three teams that are always competing in La Liga, so if I had to answer, it would be Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid, with one of them likely to be crowned champions.

Yes, Real Madrid injuries are not as many as Barcelona but Real Madrid performance so far cannot be said to be completely strong even though they have many top players in their team but if their performance is not that strong how can they compete tightly in La Liga while Barcelona even though they have had problems since the beginning of the season their performance is still quite good even their goal productivity is more than Real Madrid, so Real Madrid needs to be careful if they make another mistake it is likely that Barcelona can overtake their position because the points difference between them is only 3 points.

[Dzwaafu11]

The league title is still open for Barcelona to over Real Madrid because Barcelona has the squad and quality of players to do that. Madrid seems to be dropping in form this is a good opportunity for Barcelona to close in on Madrid on the top of the league, Barcelona should focused and keep playing and winning hoping that madrid will drop points if Barcelona is to overtake Madrid the Laliga table then they should show a little bit of consistency with their performance in the league.

There will always be opportunities for all teams to catch up on points or win this season, because in every match, even a big team can slip up and affect the points in their standings. Indeed, what they have to do for all teams is consistency in every match. Although Real Madrid stumbled slightly against Rayo Vallecano last week, that doesn't mean they'll be down in form next week. Every coach will certainly evaluate any less-than-significant result.

Both Madrid and Barcelona still have the same chance of winning the league title However, as you said the result again Real Madrid against Rayo Vallecano should t be a problem to them they will still continue doing well. One defeat or draw shouldn’t be a reason why we will say a team drop in performance, they can still do it and cover the points the fans are complaining about. Although it seems Barcelona is getting more close to Real Madrid in the table which will make this competition more tough and interesting there’s still time let’s see what they can do in their next matches.

And I think too many injuries in Barcelona will give Real Madrid opportunities to get what they want but as it’s now I don’t see that sign anymore because their performance is not really perfect as I was thinking, and I think Alonso need to fix that before Barcelona full squad get back to the play ground. Although, Rwal Madrid and Barcelona are two competitive teams in the la Liga much cannot be said about this two club, the best thing is to wait and see what they will do.

Barcelona have conceded the most goals (15) among the top 3 teams in the table, which shows that they have problems in defence.

Although it seems Barcelona is getting more close to Real Madrid in the table which will make this competition more tough and interesting there’s still time let’s see what they can do in their next matches.

I do not agree that Madrid is still on the right track in La Liga. They are still quite stable and performing well. This competition has many matches. Of course, we hope they win every game, but that’s also difficult. Indeed, every match is important, and Madrid should not lose. The team’s condition is always changing; they can only try, and sometimes the results are unpredictable. This mistake should serve as an evaluation for Xabi, and it must not happen again.

Militao's injury can never cost Real Madrid anything besides that if we are talking about injury Real Madrid has no injury players compare to FC Barcelona Barcelona has been suffering for injury players since the starting of the season till now I believe that is the more reason rumor has it that they want to get Harry Kane in this January transfer window, so despite that injury Real Madrid is still good to go and for this matches you just listed here Militao absent won't really matter that much like Real Madrid is winning those games straight up.

And real madird is more balanced than Barcelona because Barcelona are the ones suffering in the hands of injuries and something like this happened to Real Madrid last season and now Barcelona are facing the same thing and if Real Madrid play there cards well they should not be having issues with win the la Liga this season since some Barcelona players are down this is one of the best advantage that Real Madrid can use Since of there problem in the league is Barcelona.

And if the rumor of getting Harry Kane come through then it will help boost the performance of the players, they need all the help they can get but Madrid can use this period to have gather point and then that way they can even focus on the Champions League also.Militao absent won't really change anything like that and that is why it is important to have excellent players on bench to always cover for injuries so that it will not affect them in any form. And it is now as if Real Madrid is even doing well in la Liga than the champions league, which is very unlike them.

[giorgione]

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.

Yes, when there is a dualism it is always like this, considering the fact that this is something that always brings a challenge between two, there is not much to look at apart from the directly interested parties, but i would not despair, let's say that something interesting could still be created with the other teams.

You're right, we don't need to look at other teams when talking about La Liga champions. With their current points tally, teams like Madrid, Barca, and Atletico still have a chance to win. If we were to calculate the percentages, Real Madrid would have the biggest chance this season. Under Xabi Alonso, they've become a very solid team and seem difficult to beat. All lines are playing very well. I'm amazed that Alonso can make Madrid such a solid team, even though they've lost key players like Modric and Kroos, who have always been the team's playmakers. On the other hand, Barcelona is much weaker than last season. Their high defensive line has been a major problem this season. The last match against Club Brugge showed just how poor their defense is. Most of their opponents' chances came from through balls that got past the Barcelona defenders' offside trap.

The team’s condition is always changing; they can only try, and sometimes the results are unpredictable. This mistake should serve as an evaluation for Xabi, and it must not happen again.

We can see that Madrid's performance has not yet reached its peak. They are performing better than they did at the end of last season, but overall, with such good players, they should be able to perform better and more consistently. 
I am sure Xabi is still trying to maximize each player's potential, as well as improving the coordination among the players to play as a cohesive unit. Perhaps something is missing from Madrid that they have not yet found.

[Alex077]

This week's match between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao will be very exciting. I believe Barcelona could drop points against them. Raphinha, Gavi, Pedri, and Yamal are injured, and De Jong is suspended. Barcelona will be without many key players against Athletic Bilbao. This will increase their risk of dropping points. It will be an exciting match to watch. Yamal is likely to be available. If he's available, it would be a huge advantage for Barcelona.

But I think Barcas condition is not as bad as you say. As far as I know, Yamal and Rafinha are back in training with the team, so they could get a possibility to play against Bilbao. also i could see Pedri is still out with a muscle injury and Gavi has been out for a long time after surgery. But keep in mind it is going to be held at Camp Nou. so, yeah the squad may be lacking in depth , that is true. But if these two attackers come back, Barca can be very treacherous at Home Ground. Bilbao cannot take them lightly. So I think if you are thinking about betting in this match then BTTS would be the best pick because both teams have a chance to score.

[martinom]

Lol, I totally disagree with this. Saying Mbappe makes teams worse is funny to me because he has actually been the one carrying Real Madrid since he arrived from PSG. Week after week, he?s the one pushing the team forward. Honestly, if Mbappe should get injured right now, Real Madrid will struggle badly. I'm very sure about that.

He?s a forward, and he?s doing his job perfectly by scoring goals and creating chances. What more do people really expect from him? It?s not easy at all for a player to move to a new league and immediately win the golden boot in his first season, but he?s doing it like it?s nothing. Mbappe deserves serious accolades for the level he?s performing at.

Certainly if Mbappe makes teams worse then at PSG he has destroyed a team, which is currently one of the most feared in all competitions.

But guys, when you say these things, are you serious or are you kidding?
Mbappe is a driving guy in teams quite the opposite of what you claim, but when you follow football what do you watch? Just the ball?
He's driving Real Madrid very well and that's obvious to everyone, we can't say otherwise.

And I still feel Barcelona will concede more this season, most team have now figured how to attack Barcelona with the high line they are playing, we saw how club Brugge destroyed that defense in their champions league game. Last season the high line work perfectly well for them but we all know this season a lot of teams would have find solutions to that problem. Hansi flick needs to find solutions if not it cost them games and points.

With the way Real Madrid are going about their game this season each points that Barcelona drop will be very costly for them, so If they can fix that defense then they would stand a big chance in catching up with Real Madrid and might even stand a chance in winning the league.

It will still always rmain between Barcelona  and Realmadrid, Athletico madrid is just always close  every season. At the end,they alwyas lose enough point that surpress them below first and second position, sometimes even below third position.
Imo, i just feel every other team apart from Barcelona  and Realmadrid  in Laliga are not just competing  with enough respurces that could maintain position against the two strong Laliga team. Unless this change in laliga i.e other teams getting enouggh resource  to compete somehow then we wil continue have same dominant for a very long time if not forever.

The three-point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is certainly a small margin, especially since there are still many games to be played. This means that Barcelona has a good chance of overtaking Real Madrid, making the competition between the two teams even more exciting. It is true that Real Madrid's decline in performance is a good opportunity for Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid, which is currently at the top of the table. It's true that if Barcelona wants to overtake Real Madrid, they must be consistent in winning their matches.

However, in my opinion, Barcelona has a strong chance of overtaking Real Madrid because even when facing Rayo, Real Madrid couldn't score a goal. But if Real Madrid fails to win the title this season, it will undoubtedly disappoint their fans.

Three points is a huge advantage. Think about it: Real Madrid can draw one game and still be guaranteed first place. Plus, even after this loss of points, a draw in the return game against Barcelona would be enough for Real to maintain their lead. Do you realize how much this means in a race? And I don't understand why you're paying so much attention to the game against Rayo Vallecano - that's a separate game, Barcelona also lost points in addition to the personal meeting with Real.

I'm not saying Real Madrid is not good no, I'm just imagining the possibilities and how funny football can be there's no guarantee Real will win all their matches and there's no also a guarantee that Barcelona will also win theirs, I just feel they are going to be leading each other till one of them finishes there.

[m4r1o]

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.
That same thing of two teams dominating the league as a family league can't happen in the Premier League for close to 5 years without having other teams challenging them for the league title every season to overthrow them.

For the times I know about LaLiga league matches/trophies, the dominating clubs have been Barcelona and Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid will take the third spot, and the rest of the teams will fight and occupy the remaining spots of the table. I don't know when we will see a different club taking the 1st and 2nd spots of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are two very strong teams that have dominated everything over the years both at home and in Europe and therefore there is not much possibility of competing in economic and performance terms against them, also because over the years they have won a lot of money, so it is like this

I do not want to belive the title contention is mostly between Madrid and Barcelona this season, looking at the table, the point gap is not even large enough  to start loosing confidence in other teams who are at the third and fourth positions, I understand that Barcelona and Real Madrid are really big on the title and the form and strength of their team is one which is not common amongst othe la liga team, but it does not mean that if they slip off, they cannot be overtaken, it takes only less than three games for other teams to be at almost equal points with Madrid or Barcelona, so until they have opened the point gap to be wide enough, I will still have some believe in other teams. But I still know and agree they are the two top contenders.

Hmmm... Look, you're saying anything can happen, right? And that's true. For example, we all saw City's collapse last year or Liverpool's five defeats in a row this year. But no one knows where this anything will happen, right? It turns out that anything can happen equally well to the team chasing them. This means the only difference is the number of points... and (surprisingly) Real Madrid has more, and those three points are incredibly significant, as I wrote in the previous post.

Which team do you think they have the credibility to stand against Real Madrid and Barcelona? until any other team starts showing formidability and even tops the league table, it will be difficult for me to think that any other team will win the La Liga aside the two rivals. Atletico Madrid use to be strong rivals against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past but as we can see they are not even performing well this season so which other team can we count on, Villarreal? no i don't think that they can win consistently Being. equal in points or even topping the La Liga table is not the problem but how long can they be consistent.
