La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Bobrox]

Real Madrid disappointed their fans because this match should have been won by them. Even if Elche scored a goal, that match was not supposed to end in a draw against Real Madrid. The competition is very tight right now. Real Madrid is not supposed to lose points in this match because I expected them to easily win this match, but they messed up.

I don’t know what Real Madrid’s performance looked like in that match because they did not really perform as expected. They should do more in their next match. If Barcelona gap them in points, Real Madrid won’t be able to win the La Liga trophy this season. Alonso needs to wake up and act ASAP before it’ll be too late.

When holding draw by Elche last match, Real Madrid not perform as expectation after failure winning the match and Elche most dominance the games than Real Madrid, I watched the match since the first minutes Real Madrid difficult for controlling the match how less attempt created than Elche playing well. I can't expected Elche current standings at 10th position make Madrid difficult for winning the match and almost loss before late goals from Jude Bellingham.
Madrid loss great chance to make differenxe many points with Barcelona after winning against Athletic Bilbao, now Barcelona just remaining 1 points and next week both teams has chance leading the top position depend on achievement will success secure three points or not.

Well, the thing is, Real Madrid has been very permissive with Xabi. I didn't think it was right to start Rodrigo in my opinion, the player isn't up to par. He needs to secure points, and for that, he needs to field a strong starting eleven, Vinicius and Valverde are essential in the team Yesterday, they didn't win entirely because of Xabi's mistakes.

Surely they will have made some choices about it and evidently they trust him, otherwise we remember they would not have taken him.
If i am not mistaken, Real Madrid is the team that has won the most Champions Leagues in all of Europe, so it's a team that sees far ahead.

Espanyol managed to defeat Sevilla 2-1 at home and increased their points to 21. In a match that ended goalless in the first half, Espanyol took the lead early in the second half and doubled their lead in the 84th minute. Although Sevilla managed to reduce the deficit to one goal two minutes after the second goal, they were unable to find the equaliser in the remaining minutes and left the away match defeated. Although Sevilla played better than their opponents, failing to secure any points was clearly a poor result for them. However, I believe Sevilla will be able to put in a higher-level performance with 4-5 new signings during the transfer window. As long as they don't lose more points in the race for the top six before the transfer window, they will have time to recover.

Real Madrid management always improves, what has happened before does not matter anymore, this team always wants to be champions and if it does not fulfill that then the management will carry out a major evaluation, we have often seen the dismissal of coaches carried out by Real Madrid management when the coach is unable to achieve his targets, as is the case for Xabi Alonso this season and I think if at the end of the season Xabi Alonso fails to present a trophy for Real Madrid then it is very likely that he will be fired.

And during the first half down to when the second half started I was unsure if Madrid will be able to to win this guy's and Madrid were having a lot of openings but they still find it difficult to win score enough goals but I was impressed with the fact that they were able to draw it would have been very bad for them because it does not even make sense how would you say, mbappe had a lot of openings but could not deliver I wonder what would have happened in such a short while. And even the goal Aleix scored, would have been either defended or even caught by the goal keeper.

The game was now as if Madrid was playing against a top club and there defense was just to open and Elche were not even struggling much because Madrid would have won this game without stress. And if not for Bellingham that scored the equalizing goal in mind Elche have defeated Real Madrid which would have been a shame on them because Elche dragging with Real Madrid. And any mistake now Barcelona will take over and this are people we have been criticizing for bad performance and instability. Because we thought Real Madrid had a easy one this week.

It's not about winning trophies, if the team performs well, Alonso might not face a bad situation but if the situation like last season happens it will be very dangerous for him. Everyone has sky-high expectations from large and traditional clubs. If they fail to meet those expectations the team management has to take responsibility. Last season we saw that several players in Real Madrid defense were injured which made them a very weak team and could not survive the competition. As a result Carlo Ancelotti had to leave. If this happens again this season the entire responsibility will fall on Alonso and he will be the first to be fired.

This is definitely not the time for Real Madrid to be dropping points because winning always come in full pack for an elite team. Remember Barcelona are not holding down but pushing towards winning the La Liga title. They've always known their strengths and weakness, Hansi Flick focused more on the strength because that's what saved the club at the end of the day. If he focused more on weakness which the Barcelona highline, they will reduced heavily how they attack but if he focused more on pressing, the oppositions wouldn't have any other choice than to become volatile and vulnerable on the pitch.

Yes, Real Madrid is not only coming off a heavy defeat in Europe but is also having trouble getting back on track. This matters a lot and it will be very difficult for them, but i think they will make it without too many difficulties. You just have to be patient and sooner or later they will get back on track.

Rumors of discord within the Real Madrid locker room are growing, with Vinícius Júnior reportedly openly opposing Xabi Alonso, impacting the team's performance on the pitch in implementing its strategy. However, Xabi Alonso is a typically intelligent coach with charismatic leadership. He will quickly make improvements and take action against any behavior he deems rebellious. Florentino Perez is currently targeting the title for Real Madrid, and in my opinion, Xabi Alonso has led Real Madrid very well, having not lost a single match. Alonso must take firm action against Vinicius and may even recommend selling Vinicius Junior in the transfer window next month to maintain the team's balance.

[wakier]

The match wasn't like a Real Madrid match because I couldn't spot if Vini and Mbappe were on the pitch. Elche held them down and tightened their defense. Which became a big problem for Madrid to penetrate. The title is still open to both clubs and there's no guarantee yet that any of them will win it. Barcelona will be happy for that defeat.

Mbappe was on the field for the full 90 minutes while Vinicius Jr only played 33 minutes on the field, actually there is nothing wrong with the Real Madrid line-up because Xabi Alonso also put Mbappe and Rodrygo in the front line and Vinicius Jr as a substitute for Rodrygo in the second half towards the end, Real Madrid should have been able to win the match with the line up they had but somehow they played badly in their defense, I think the back line line up was not right they still had open gaps that were quite easy for the opponent to penetrate.

I never expected the defeat to Liverpool to be the start of a series of disappointing results for Real Madrid. Two draws after that gave Barcelona the advantage to reduce the gap, now the two are only one point apart. Alonso must act immediately after losing 4 points against a small team, conceded 4 goals in the two matches also shows how weak Real Madrid's defense is. Their next match will be against Olympiakos in the Champions League. If they don't show an immediate improvement in their performance, Madrid may struggle to finish in the top 8, and Alonso's seat could be under threat due to Real Madrid recent decline in performance.

Real Madrid is quite clever at recruiting players to strengthen the team, but the coach also needs to be better at controlling the emotions and egos that arise when there are so many more talented players on the team. And this season, I've still seen true unity in the Barcelona team, so when I compare it to Real Madrid, there's a slight difference in that area. So, Real Madrid needs to be even more united to make themselves stronger by the end of the season.

[Qhunman]

I really don't know what is wrong with real Madrid, they are not playing as I expect them to be playing honestly if they continue this way they will miss out from the la Liga title race, they should try to correct every mistake and come back to form because if they don't they will lose out on the champions League and the la Liga title, Real Madrid should try as much as possible to make their defense very strong because what I'm seeing is that there defense is very loose and that is why they are always scoring them.
Just like you said the la Liga title race is to open for both Barcelona and Real Madrid however any mistake from one of the club is a lost, Real Madrid still has the chance to correct there mistakes right now so they can remain on top of the table till the end of the season and lift the la Liga title.

I don't know what to say, I'm just Short of words Because I don't understand what is happening to Real Madrid. They used to be consistent  when the season started but anymore .Real Madrid use to be ahead of Barcelona  in the table but now, real Madrid has fallen behind Barcelona. If Real Madrid is consistent, Barcelona wouldn't have close up with them in points in the table. I agree with you,Real Madrid still has time  to put themselves in order.  Real Madrid conceded 2 goals against El Che, Xabi Alonso should figure out why Real Madrid is conceding goals in almost all their matches. Real Madrid defense is growing weak,xabi Alonso should try and fixed their defense.

What is football if you are not winning, not just winning alone, but winning trophies? Real Madrid is a club known for their brilliant performance and winning of trophies. Enough money is invested in that club from different big sponsors, and the players are given the best treatment compared to what other teams are doing. It is a big club; all they know is trophies because they are the most decorated club in history. So yeah, everything is history, and everything is about winning trophies. Real Madrid has to do better.

[Obari]

Mbappe was on the field for the full 90 minutes while Vinicius Jr only played 33 minutes on the field, actually there is nothing wrong with the Real Madrid line-up because Xabi Alonso also put Mbappe and Rodrygo in the front line and Vinicius Jr as a substitute for Rodrygo in the second half towards the end, Real Madrid should have been able to win the match with the line up they had but somehow they played badly in their defense, I think the back line line up was not right they still had open gaps that were quite easy for the opponent to penetrate.

Real Madrid lineup was perfect when they face Elche but the home team was more than ready to face Real Madrid. They didn't even think about any other thing than planning on exploring their chances to win Real Madrid. Let's say Real Madrid narrowly escape this sudden defeats that would have created doubts in the minds of the players and the fans. Xabi Alonso is a genius and handling Real Madrid wouldn't have been a problem for the club.

Real Madrid will do better, they're in healing phase and there's absolutely nothing can be done until these players are back on the pitch. This time they're holding up with consistency and determination to win games. I want to see the Real Madrid that play Barcelona, so much passionate and ever ready to win games.

In the scenario about Vinicius Jr, he's a good player for the club but the broken relationship is definitely not helping. We clearly see why Xabi Alonso benched Vinicius Jr and this misunderstanding between them is swiftly blowing out of proportion and time for the president to step in. I believe Florentino Pérez can fixed this fussed tension between these two.

Real Madrid defense is still lagging behind, much work is needed to be done. I know that their defenders are on injury but they need good substitutes to cover up the porosity in the defense when their key players ain't on the pitch. I know that Real Madrid don't buy players in January transfer window and that will affect them if the injured players ain't back from injury.

There defence has always been their problem, I can say that the manager is trying but he has to put much effort in that area according to you, the defence of every team is to be taking very serious because any leakage can lead to a disaster, watching them play with Elche is like remembering an event that happens that's supposed to be, if they are not going to get new players during the January transfer just as you said, this calls for a serious plan from the manger on how to manage the situation, and we also hope for the return of the players on injury,January and February are very important months for teams that are on top of their league title, if Realmdrid survive till the month of match, I don't think there will be anything holding them back but let's see if they could.

[pewboy]

The inconsistent wins will definitely make Real Madrid come short in the La Liga title race and xabi Alonso needs to do something fast, I don't know if it was because of the champions league game they had that made them not win the game because it seems the coach didn't actually start the full line up ahead this game. Barcelona are top of the La Liga table now and Barcelona are also not looking bad themselves when it comes to win per game ratio. I just hope that Real Madrid gets themselves back and be ready because it's not going to be easy.

I've gotten used to considering Real Madrid as an outsider who does everything to not try to be less than the others but unfortunately it is and I have to say that this thing bothers me a bit given that this team with the players it has could do much better than what it is doing at the moment.

But Real Madrid performance is not really that poor and I think you guys are taking the whole thing so far because there performance is not really bad and the reason for all these is because they drew against Elche and it seems you guys has forgotten that this is a game of win or lose and Real Madrid must not and can never win the all the match.. Elche is also a club and let's say the truth, they really played well in that match against Real Madrid and if not that they played well, real Madrid would scored a lot of goals and secondly Elche was at home and some of these club don't joke with their home.

Real Madrid is very dedicated to winning trophies that they will soon be synonyms to trophies, like you have rightly stated, they are been invested upon heavily and so they just have to win the trophies because that is exactly what feels like an actual  ROI for the investors. They give the player and coaches all the good treatment because they just want the trophies to keep rolling in with no excuses and so if the focus of Madrid continue to remain in the trophies, then I see it as worth it.

As long as they don't lose more points in the race for the top six before the transfer window, they will have time to recover.

Espanyol is in sixth place in the points table. This is surprising. We usually see  this team at the bottom of the points table. Their only target was to avoid the relegation  zone. Espanyol was in 14th place in the table last   season. But this season the team is playing very well. They are in sixth place in the table.

Sevilla was a very strong opponent. And sevilla's players dominated this  match. On the other hand, Esoanyol's players were very tactical in the home match. Despite having very few attacks , they were able to score two goals. Sevilla performed well. Anyway , the team should focus more on strengthening their defense. Sevilla  is behind in the points table because of their  weak defense.
