La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Gallar]

Barcelona's stadium looked magnificent. It was a fitting victory for the stadium, as Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0.
They were trying to level the score before halftime, but Bilbao couldn't find the goal. Ferran Torres finished the match in extra time after Yamal's out-of-foot pass.
Barcelona had a strong first half, and the second half was unchanged, picking up where they left off.

Yes, Barcelona really played very epic in this match, because in this match they showed a sharp attack line, a well-organized midfield, and a very solid defense. So in this match, it can be said that Barcelona's performance was very epic. Because Bilbao players were really not given free space by Barcelona players in this match. Because almost all lines were controlled by Barcelona well in this match. So this match was truly very entertaining. But even so, I hope Barcelona can continue to maintain this epic performance in the matches they will face next.

Because Barcelona's journey in this season is still very long, so their consistency of performance is really needed by Barcelona this season. In addition, in this match, Yamal unfortunately did not score a goal, and he was only able to make two assists in this match. But that is certainly very good, because even though Yamal did not score in this match, he still had a very good contribution for Barcelona. And with this victory, Barcelona is now in first place in La Liga, so hopefully it will last a long time and will not be easily shifted back by Real Madrid.

I'm always confident of betting on Barcelona any time I know that Lamine Yamal will play for Barcelona because he always has a way of making Barcelona win their matches easily with good goals margin. I am not happy as well that Lamine Yamal is on and off the pitch this season because Barcelona has been struggling in his absence. Now that Lamine Yamal is fully fit for Barcelona, I pray he won't be injured again so that he can help Barcelona as usual.

When Barcelona's core players return to fitness, this could be quite dangerous for Real Madrid, as we can see it's difficult to beat Barcelona if they have a full squad. Lamine Yamal is indeed the driving force of Barcelona's attack and he poses a serious threat to other teams when he's in good form. The competition in La Liga would be much more interesting if both Barcelona and Real Madrid could field a full squad, and perhaps no injured players, as this would significantly improve the game for both teams. Real Madrid might not be in great shape because many players are still injured which could slightly favor Barcelona.

It's true that any team's injury to a key player can have an impact. With the return of these players from injury, Barcelona is even stronger, and perhaps they'll prove it in their next match against Chelsea in the Champions League.

In the match against Bilboa we saw Yamal finally get back on track, focusing more on the pitch and giving his best for the team. This victory was also a beautiful moment, as after two years and more we've arrived at the world's most iconic stadium Camp Nou. Furthermore this victory is crucial for maintaining competition with Real Madrid. Barcelona currently sits atop the table. If Real Madrid can't pick up points against Elche, Barcelona will be at the top of the table this week.

That is rapid turnaround in title race in La Liga as Barcelona scored huge 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao to demonstrate that club is in its usual fine form and, most importantly, they have now overtaken Real Madrid at top. But they have weak lead since they have already played additional match and Real Madrid will reclaim first place in case they win their next match against Elche. You are correct that lead will continue shifting all through season and eventual winner will be team that can withstand pressure.

This fierce rivalry often occurs between Barcelona and Real Madrid, making La Liga even more exciting due to the fierce battle between the two at the top of the standings.
Barcelona's victory over Bilbao was quite easy. Barcelona dominated from the first half and there was no pressure due to the difference in quality between the two teams.

and in the next match Real Madrid will travel to Elche, Considering the overall strength of both teams, I think this match shouldn't be difficult for Real Madrid, especially after Barcelona took over the top spot in the standings, Of course there's extra motivation for Mbappé and his teammates to win this match.

That victory is quite amazing like it's a courage booster, like it will kind of restore their confidence because beating Athletic Bilbao 4-0 is not a joke because Athletic Bilbao is not a weak team, I was expecting that winning but not with that much goals, they actually performed really nice, and they should keep it up at least they should be consistent with this winning so the league will look more interesting as we hope for what Real Madrid will play today, but I'm quite certain Real Madrid will win the game even if it's not with much goals but I still believe they are winning this game.

Real Madrid might not be in great shape because many players are still injured which could slightly favor Barcelona.

Real Madrid currently has six players still injured, but when I look at the recovery time for these six players, it seems Real Madrid will not be too concerned about this as they will recover quickly, even before the next El Clásico this season. Likewise, Barcelona's three injured players will soon recover, so both teams will not be too concerned about their current condition because they are all fully recovered before facing a tough match. However, for Champions League matches, this could have a significant impact, as the Champions League will resume in the coming days.

Barcelona done their match well and equalize point difference with Real Madrid, they even took over a first position from Real Madrid temporarily by having better goal difference. Yamal is important with Barcelona so is Lewandowski and Barcelona must to take care of most important star players very carefully. They decide Barcelona's either success or failure in this season.

Real Madrid currently has six players still injured, but when I look at the recovery time for these six players, it seems Real Madrid will not be too concerned about this as they will recover quickly, even before the next El Clásico this season. Likewise, Barcelona's three injured players will soon recover, so both teams will not be too concerned about their current condition because they are all fully recovered before facing a tough match. However, for Champions League matches, this could have a significant impact, as the Champions League will resume in the coming days.

Real Madrid got a big lesson last season with player injuries and even Carlo Ancelotti tried to help Real Madrid maintain a good position in La Liga title competition with Barcelona and go to knock out phase in UEFA Champions League, he failed with the club. Later months, in most important time of the last season, Real Madrid lost their good performances and finished the season with a complete failure.

This is a not too far lesson and Real Madrid must be very careful in this season, they have one match to play and create 3-point difference with Barcelona, but if they lose point in this match, they will see Barcelona, Villareal and Atletico Madrid in the title race.

[Pandu Geddon]

I also think that it will not be difficult for Barcelona to win against Athletic Bilbao. The experienced Flick team has overcome a bad period when his best players were out of form or injured. Marcus Rashford will probably not play in today's match. But most of the best players who were absent due to injury will probably play against Bilbao. Robert Lewandowski played brilliantly in the last match against Celta Vigo and scored a hat-trick and he is an important and experienced forward for the team. I think that he did not look so good at the beginning of the season but his return to form at the moment will be the most impressive for the team. If he does not suffer from injury again this season then we expect the best from him.

Barcelona managed to secure a 4-0 victory over Bilbao, with Lewandowski scoring an early goal in the first half and his performance improving again.  
Barcelona still has a current problem, which is not having a player who can truly take on Lewandowski's role if he gets injured. We know at his current age, it would be quite easy for him to face fitness issues. Especially with a rather tight competition schedule, it will certainly be quite taxing on his physical condition.

Real Madrid currently has six players still injured, but when I look at the recovery time for these six players, it seems Real Madrid will not be too concerned about this as they will recover quickly, even before the next El Clásico this season. Likewise, Barcelona's three injured players will soon recover, so both teams will not be too concerned about their current condition because they are all fully recovered before facing a tough match. However, for Champions League matches, this could have a significant impact, as the Champions League will resume in the coming days.

The main concerns regarding injured players may be about their defense, because Carvajal, Militao, Ruediger, and Alaba are injured again and will miss this game. So Real will have to rely on attacking players today, even though Ancelotti's main problems last season were precisely due to defensive injuries. Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao yesterday, and due to a better goal difference this year, they overtook Real, so for Alonso it is very important today to win, or at least not lose.

Furthermore this victory is crucial for maintaining competition with Real Madrid. Barcelona currently sits atop the table. If Real Madrid can't pick up points against Elche, Barcelona will be at the top of the table this week.

Barcelona players were very confident because of their return to Camp Nou. Barcelona returned to their  own stadium after a long time. Barcelona has made the victory memorable. The team played  brilliantly from the beginning of the match. The first goal was scored by Lewandowski in just 4 minutes. In addition, Torres scored 2  goals and Lopez scored one goal. Athletic Club players tried their best to score a goal. But they could not score a single goal. In addition to barcelona's attack, their defense was also strong in this match.

[Salahmu]

Yes, Barcelona really played very epic in this match, because in this match they showed a sharp attack line, a well-organized midfield, and a very solid defense. So in this match, it can be said that Barcelona's performance was very epic. Because Bilbao players were really not given free space by Barcelona players in this match. Because almost all lines were controlled by Barcelona well in this match. So this match was truly very entertaining. But even so, I hope Barcelona can continue to maintain this epic performance in the matches they will face next.

Athletic Club just came to the pitch without knowing what to do, a pass is not made to someone standing on a congested point close to there goalkeeper if he cannot take out the ball, because of his position when they gave the pass to him, after trapping the ball he could not control and after the first touch from Barcelona the next was Lewandowski and he scored. Athletic Club goalkeeper struggles on Ferran Torres goal regarding how he was helpless to do anything. Yamal assisted with the two goals of Torres, he was only for assisting yesterday unlike how he scores.

Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao yesterday, and due to a better goal difference this year, they overtook Real, so for Alonso it is very important today to win, or at least not lose.

Real Madrid must win against Elche this week, after failing to pick up three points last week and now Barcelona has taken over the top spot in the standings.

Regarding the injuries to several Real Madrid players, I don't think they will have a significant impact, especially this week. Because there are no important matches and they face strong opponents in their next few matches, there's still time for their injured key players to recover. Excuses like last season aren't acceptable to Real Madrid fans now. Real Madrid has made improvements, and Xabi Alonso should be able to resolve this issue.

Interestingly, with this win, Barcelona overtook Real Madrid and now sits atop the table with 31 points, the same as Madrid, only slightly ahead in games played. Barcelona have played 13 matches, while Real Madrid have only played 12. In short, the match is getting more intense and more exciting to follow and watch.

Nope, Barcelona remains in second place. In La Liga, when there's a tie on points, the head-to-head record is taken into account first, and since Barcelona lost, they're no longer first or even tied for first, but in clear second place.
I hope Real Madrid wins easily today - their opponent is only Elche. I think Mbappé should score a couple of goals. By the way, if Real Madrid wins, Villarreal will be closer to Barcelona than Barcelona is to Real Madrid

You are right, I also had this same feeling that Barcelona will win Athletic Bilbao but not with these plenty goals and the reason was because Barcelona is not that good like last season and if it was last season I believe the goal would have be more than 4 also considering the fact that their opponent is not really in a good state. So, the result was expected from Barcelona and currently they are leading the table with goal difference,  lets wait and see what Real Madrid would do today but I'm scared of the game though.

However, for Champions League matches, this could have a significant impact, as the Champions League will resume in the coming days.

The two draws that Real Madrid obtained in the previous match must be ended immediately, Real Madrid began to come under pressure after Barcelona managed to beat Athletic Club with a landslide score of 4-0. Barcelona has now matched Real Madrid's points tally and is now in first place due to its superior goal scoring record.
Real Madrid must win at Elche to regain first place and extend the gap between the two sides to three points. While injuries to several players may not significantly impact Real Madrid's performance, their presence is crucial in the tight schedule to allow Alonso to rotate the squad.

[el kaka22]

The great part about Barcelona is that they won with ease, like it wasn't even a close game. They won a dominant 4-0 and never was in doubt. I would guess that the best thing to win like this is the feeling that you are really a good team, that always makes it a lot better and should be considered a great thing for the team.

Is it a quick thing that changes something quickly? Of course not, it's still a big deal and should be considered a great help for sure, but at the same time we are seeing how things could change one way or another and for that reason I still think Barcelona needed this. A mere 88th minute goal 1-0 win type of thing wouldn't be as confidence booster as this game which is why they are very happy.

[BlackBaron]

Real Madrid must win against Elche this week, after failing to pick up three points last week and now Barcelona has taken over the top spot in the standings.

Regarding the injuries to several Real Madrid players, I don't think they will have a significant impact, especially this week. Because there are no important matches and they face strong opponents in their next few matches, there's still time for their injured key players to recover. Excuses like last season aren't acceptable to Real Madrid fans now. Real Madrid has made improvements, and Xabi Alonso should be able to resolve this issue.

Real Madrid has no choice but to win this match, especially as their opponents are a team whose quality is far below theirs. So, I see no reason why Real Madrid should lose this match, other than their own bad luck.

Elche is also on a five-match winless streak, so this presents a golden opportunity for them to regain their winning streak after failing to do so last week. Their position is also precarious, as they are level on points following Barcelona's victory, which already played this week.

[Iranus]

Real Madrid currently has six players still injured, but when I look at the recovery time for these six players, it seems Real Madrid will not be too concerned about this as they will recover quickly, even before the next El Clásico this season. Likewise, Barcelona's three injured players will soon recover, so both teams will not be too concerned about their current condition because they are all fully recovered before facing a tough match. However, for Champions League matches, this could have a significant impact, as the Champions League will resume in the coming days.

Real Madrid's squad Tchouameni, Militao, Carvajal and David Alaba will not be in the squad due to injury. Even then, Madrid's squad is quite strong. Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham will be in the attack. In addition, Arda Guller, Camavinga and Valverde will keep Madrid's midfield strong. The opponent Elche cannot be considered strong. Elche is in 13th place in the points table. Also, Madrid's performance in the past matches against Elche is also very good. So if the performance is stable, securing 3 points in this match will not be a difficult task for Madrid.

[Marvell1]

Athletic Bilbao conceded a goal in just 4 minutes of the match. We were all expecting a competitive match. Although Barcelona is a strong team, Bilbao was not a weak opponent. Besides, we have seen Athletic Club perform well against Barcelona in the past. But Athletic Bilbao stumbled at the beginning.
Lewandowski made good use of the mistakes of Bilbao's defenders. Bilbao conceded their first goal due to a mistake by the defender. Experienced Lewandowski scored a wonderful goal. The match is being held at Camp Nou after a long time. The audience is very excited. Barcelona will definitely try to win by a big margin today.

Barcelona's attack seems to be quite strong today. Lewandowski, Yamal and Raphinha are all back from injury. Even then, the coach has rested Raphinha. The starting XI is Lewandowski, Yamal and Torres. But De Jong, Pedri, Rashford and Gavi are absent due to injury. Barcelona are playing very aggressively from the start of the match today. They are desperate to score goals. Even after securing the lead in the 4th minute, Barcelona did not slow down their attack. In the 10th minute, Barcelona players had 61% ball possession and made 4 shots. There is a possibility of seeing many goals in this match.

As I expected Barcelona to win by a big margin, Barcelona managed to secure a 4-0 victory. Lewandowski scored the first goal, Torres scored two goals and Lopez scored one goal. Barcelona gave their full effort in the match and secured a big win.

I will praise the performance of Barcelona's defense and goalkeeper in this match. In several matches we have seen bad performances from Barcelona's defenders. But in this match Barcelona's defenders also played well. They were able to successfully repel every attack made by Athletic Club players. Also, goalkeeper Joan Garcia returned to the squad after recovering from injury. He is an excellent goalkeeper. Garcia made two saves in this match as well.

[GiftedMAN]

Real Madrid currently has six players still injured, but when I look at the recovery time for these six players, it seems Real Madrid will not be too concerned about this as they will recover quickly, even before the next El Clásico this season.

However, for Champions League matches, this could have a significant impact, as the Champions League will resume in the coming days.

Real Madrid's squad Tchouameni, Militao, Carvajal and David Alaba will not be in the squad due to injury. Even then, Madrid's squad is quite strong. Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham will be in the attack. In addition, Arda Guller, Camavinga and Valverde will keep Madrid's midfield strong. The opponent Elche cannot be considered strong. Elche is in 13th place in the points table. Also, Madrid's performance in the past matches against Elche is also very good. So if the performance is stable, securing 3 points in this match will not be a difficult task for Madrid.

Apart from going to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium in August to get a 1:1 draw against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, I don't think there's any notable result that Elche have managed to get this season in the Spanish La Liga that should give Real Madrid concerns on whether they'll beat their hosts tonight or not even when few of the first team members are sidelined for the game. Xabi Alonso I believe should know how to rotate the available squad and still get the best from the game. I'll be expecting nothing short of three points from Madrid especially after Barcelona won in their game yesterday

If Real Madrid win, the difference is 3 points, and of course Barcelona's difference is also 2 points with Villareal's 2 points, so no one is closer, on the ground it doesn't have much difference and it's true what you say, but I think it's the same.

The match between Elche and Real Madrid was a highlight. Most Barcelona fans would want Real Madrid to lose this match because Barcelona will return to the top of the table with an advantageous goal difference. If we talk about equal points, then Real Madrid will lose.
