La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Gallar]

That’s why people don’t see La Liga as competitive as the English Premier League, because Real Madrid and Barcelona are always dominant in La Liga. No matter if they lose form and drop points once they recover, they don’t struggle much to return to the top of the table. Well if we consider the squads of these two teams they deserve to surpass other clubs in this league because they have the best team than other clubs, and that’s why they always contribute strongly even in the Champions League.

Yes, the point is, Barcelona and Real Madrid have the largest finances compared to other teams in La Liga, so that's why these two teams are able to outperform all the teams in La Liga. Because basically, Barcelona and Real Madrid can buy expensive and quality players, then their training facilities are also certainly the best, and they can also bring in quality coaches. So that's why every season Real Madrid and Barcelona are always able to excel in La Liga. Because basically they are the richest teams in La Liga, so even up to this point, we certainly understand that one of the main reasons Barcelona and Real Madrid can continue to dominate La Liga.

But with that, La Liga does seem less competitive than other major leagues in Europe. So basically, the match in La Liga that will probably be watched a lot is only the El Clasico match and other matches may not be as much as the El Clasico match. But that is indeed the characteristic of La Liga and I think it is very difficult to change, because the problem is about the big difference in capital between the other teams in La Liga.

That's right, Barcelona is breathing down their necks in the league standings. It's unacceptable that they've lost matches they shouldn't have lost. Xabi can't allow that anymore This is a tough competition, and it's imperative that Madrid wins everything from now on.

The league is not predictable as we can see both side not been consistent in their performance and this is one major reason I can not be able to pick a team to win it all this season. We saw how Barcelona lost to Chelsea with a very poor performance from them, and who expected that Chelsea will definitely be victorious of a 3 goals lead over Barcelona, no one expected that, but that is what football looks like, the unexpected likes to happen at most of the time. So definitely both teams, Barcelona and real Madrid needs to step up their game, if not the unexpected can become the expected.

This league prediction is beyond our expectations where big teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid have fallen in their best performance. Xabi needs to rebuild the Barcelona squad after losing to a small La Liga team, a bad history has befallen Barcelona, the only way to maintain the existing performance is to secure a position in the standings while Real Madrid is still playing steadily in La Liga, they also take advantage of the opportunity to stay far from Barcelona and have the opportunity to win 2 titles this season, La Liga and the Champions League.
With consecutive defeats, Barcelona has made the players' mentality weaker, losing to a small team has become a trigger for Barcelona's poor formation.

[jaberwock]

The discontent between Xabi and players are growing according to rumours. I am not saying there is one, it's a rumour after all and no player came out and said anything publicly but these rumours do not come out of nowhere, there must be a reason for it. Twitter was basically shaken by a ton of players saying the same thing and I feel like there is a reality to it.

Even though they are leading at the moment, there is a feeling that the players think they are good already, and Xabi wants even more, and the players are not happy with being demanded more when they are already good and won without him before. Mbappe is the only one who didn't, but rest are basically unhappy that a new manager, who they won without, acting as if they can be better.

Laliga, Spain teams recently haven’t been that much of a match for other top teams..look at Barcelona too,they haven’t had any good game against top teams, is it PSG, Chelsea even the same Realmadrid, they lost  all of it except against Newcastle and Olympiacos..
Imo, Realmadrid is still having a better game than Barcelona so far this season outside laliga, it’s just better there’s nothing special about their game outside laliga, same goes for Athletico

The difference may not be that big, but I see Real Madrid consistently failing to capitalize on opportunities to win against much weaker teams, even though the result isn't bad because they draw.
Barcelona lost against much more evenly matched teams, and perhaps that's understandable, as facing crucial matches against evenly matched teams is no easy feat. I see both teams still having problems, and so far they haven't been that different, as Real Madrid also lost against Liverpool in the Champions League, although Arne Slot's own foster children are also inconsistent.

The competition in La Liga remains quite crucial as both teams are still on the same track and the points tally for both is still close, making it difficult to predict now as there are still many matches to be played.

Yes it's true that real Madrid and Barcelona have the largest economical power in the Spanish laliga, and they decides and calls all the shot on the top players that are brought into their respective club, but when looking at atletico Madrid, I believe that the only reason they are not competing for the title is because of the fact that the hierarchy of the club is very much ok for them to be a mediocre club, as long as they keep qualifying for a place in the uefa champions league and the revenue gotten from it doesn't stop coming, they are only interested in making money, not gunning for glory, if not, they would have been up there competing and they might have even won the league more than once since the tenure of Diego Simone if they were not a mediocre club.

I'm sure if Real Madrid and Barcelona were in any league, other teams would have done the same. Despite this, Atletico Madrid has managed to win the championship several times. Real Madrid and Barcelona are very strong teams. They play very well not only in Spain but around the world. I think Atletico Madrid's competition with them is very good. They never gave up the fight and kept striving. I think the club's management is good.

Last night, none of the three teams from La Liga managed to secure a victory. Barcelona and Villarreal even suffered unexpected defeats with fairly large scores. Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Barcelona has made me quite pessimistic about Barcelona. Villarreal's defeat by Dortmund may not have been surprising, but the large score made it surprising nonetheless.

Bilbao remained solid by avoiding defeat and settling for a draw. However, I had hoped Bilbao would win that match.

Now, only Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid remain. I believe Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid must uphold La Liga's reputation by winning their upcoming UCL matches. If both fail to secure victories, it would be deeply disappointing.

[W Jr.]

Now, on this week's final Champions League day, Real Madrid will be in Greece, hoping to secure a single victory for the Spanish teams. Real Madrid, who will play Olympiacos, will be the closest team to three points. However, if they make the same mistakes as Barcelona and Villarreal and receive a red card, they could face a difficult away game.

Barcelona had a very poor performance and the result was just bad and unacceptable, I was disappointed and surprised to see Barcelona play that way, Chelsea is a team that haven’t been consistent this season and the way Barcelona approached the game was just unacceptable, Lamine was very poor with his performance and couldn’t get pass Cucurella on so many occasions and a 1 v 1, it’s a shocking results and I have noticed that Lamine Yamal always struggled to play against English opponents.

Araujo was also a disappointment, he knows how to cause this blunder in big games, and it’s just something that is totally unacceptable to me, he actually brought disappointment to his teammates, and let them down he made them suffer in that game, it was very hard for them to play when they were a man down against Chelsea who are motivated at Stamford Bridge, it now seems like they are struggling in the Champions League.

Real Madrid, who will play Olympiacos, will be the closest team to three points. However, if they make the same mistakes as Barcelona and Villarreal and receive a red card, they could face a difficult away game.

All three La Liga representatives playing in this week's Champions League matches have failed to win. Barcelona lost heavily to Chelsea, Villarreal also lost by four goals to Dortmund, and Bilbao only managed a draw with Slavia Prague. Real Madrid is the only team expected to win this week.

Facing Olympiacos shouldn't be too difficult for Real Madrid, as they are far superior overall. However, Real Madrid is currently experiencing many problems after failing to win in their previous three matches, which is likely to affect their confidence. On the other hand, there's also the possibility that this match could be a proving ground for Real Madrid. So, this is a difficult match in my opinion, and I won't have high expectations for a Real Madrid victory. Their performance in the last three matches has disappointed me quite a bit, and for now, I want to avoid betting on a Real Madrid win.

Consistency in La Liga certainly hasn't allowed Barcelona to achieve the same result. This was certainly a huge mistake for them, especially after losing by such a heavy score. However, their performance in that match was fraught with errors, which gave Chelsea an opportunity to capitalize on their second chance. Despite the upcoming meeting at Barcelona's home ground, with a significant cost, this victory served as motivation for Chelsea.

Barcelona's mistakes were uncalled for in that match, as this was a UCL match, requiring them to play according to their coach's preferred playing style. Furthermore, Chelsea were certainly not an easy opponent, especially as they were playing in front of their home crowd, which would have heightened their motivation to make things difficult for the opposing team at Stamford Bridge.
Indeed, many say Lamine Yamal still hasn't been able to beat a team competing in the Premier League, and this has happened several times during his time with Barcelona.

This weekend, Barcelona will play Alaves at home. I believe Barcelona can win this match. They will easily take the three points at home. Barcelona's motivation in the league has increased, especially after last week, when Real Madrid dropped points. While their poor result at Chelsea was certainly disappointing, they must now continue their focus on the Spanish league. Real Madrid will travel to Girona, and if they drop points there, they could fall behind Barcelona.

Barcelona's performance in the Champions League is very weak. Hansi Flick should now focus on La Liga. Otherwise, Barcelona will lose dominance in La Liga as well as the Champions League. They have already lost the top spot in the table.

Alaves are a weak opponent. Barcelona has a higher chance of winning. But Barcelona has a record of losing points against weak opponents. So they have to play very carefully. Alaves' attack is weak but their defense is strong. So they may try to draw the match by playing defensively in the match. If Barcelona's attack fails to play well, there is a possibility of losing points. In yesterday's match, we saw Barcelona's disappointing performance against Chelsea.

[Agbam]

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.

This is what makes the La Liga rivalry between Barcelona and Madrid even more exciting. Sometimes these two clubs make similar mistakes. They always drop points in games that don't seem like big games. I saw Elche play well, exploiting Madrid's high defensive line. This was a risk because Madrid was controlling the game and had to push up their defenders. Madrid's mistake was not being able to anticipate Elche's quick transitions, which made the Madrid defenders slow to return. As a result, Madrid looked dominant but weak in defense.

Elche really performed well and they surprised a lot of us with the way they played against Real Madrid on Sunday, they probably should have won it but it ended in a draw. The way I saw that match it was a robbery to Elche and LaLiga.

I don’t know how Madrid does it but Referees always favors them. The two goals they scored were a bit controversial and nothing was done about it. They played poorly and struggled but at the end they went home with a point denying Elche a win.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the top giants in LaLiga no doubt, Atletico Madrid are only Wannabe giant, they get to the top but gets kicked down again. It’s never a competition only a challenge.

We know that Chelsea and Alaves are not the same team. There's a huge difference between the two teams. Barcelona may have lost yesterday's match, but they'll likely win their next match this weekend because Alaves is a much weaker team than Barcelona. Furthermore, Barcelona knows full well that they must avoid dropping points in these matches in their pursuit of the title. Football can be full of surprises, so if Barcelona doesn't want any, they must still be careful.

Too easy for Barcelona. Not expecting any surprises against a team like Alaves home. Their performance against Chelsea was indeed disappointing but it was a really tough game of course. Being one man down made things even worse.

Things are shaky on Real Madrid side for a few weeks. First a terrible performance against Liverpool and a loss. And after that 2 draws in easy games in the La Liga... But I still believe in them to recover by beating Olympiacos - Girona in a row.

However they should really work things out with Xabi Alonso as soon as possible if the rumours are true.

Is always about Real Madrid and Barcelona in the la Liga game each season and this two clubs have consistently retained the league table top, although sometimes we have other clubs that start the season almost same pattern with this club's, but one way or the other in the last stage of the tournament this either Barcelona or Real Madrid be competing for the 1st position based on their total accumulated points on the table.

Of course, their rivalry is our entertainment, and it's no coincidence that El Clasico is, i believe, the most watched match in the Spanish Liga abroad.
Let's just say they know how to put on a show and are two very strong teams. It's a shame there aren't other teams at this level, it would be even more fun.

La liga is going to get worse than it already is if they don't change their strict policies. Even Barcelona is struggling to keep up. I don't know how they can still compete among the top clubs in Europe with such strict restrictions. The teams in La Liga cant spend money on players, they cant even afford to keep their big and good players, everybody is forced to sell. We can see how the La liga teams can no longer compete well in Europe. Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Real Betis, Vanlencia and Real Sociedad used to be competitive teams; now they cant afford to keep more than two big players in their team. Real Sociedad were forced to sell Isak and, most recently, Zubimendi.

Barcelona cant even register their players without the league fighting against the,m despite not giving them enough room to sign players. I don't know what Tebas and his goons think they're doing, but they're killing the league. Take a look at all the performances of La Liga teams in Europe this season and you'll understand. Even in the league, the teams that should be doing well are struggling seriously. When the clubs in the league are ready, they will push for a change, until then, they should keep suffering.

We don't get to see many teams at this level. Barcelona and Real Madrid are two truly great teams. Naturally, the competition between them is intense. When the quality of the players is also excellent, it makes for a fantastic match. Although Barcelona faced a tough time against Chelsea in the Champions League, they will continue to fight to take the lead in the Spanish league from Real Madrid.

[bastisisca]

Now, on this week's final Champions League day, Real Madrid will be in Greece, hoping to secure a single victory for the Spanish teams. Real Madrid, who will play Olympiacos, will be the closest team to three points. However, if they make the same mistakes as Barcelona and Villarreal and receive a red card, they could face a difficult away game.

Let's be clear, Real Madrid will definitely succeed in the feat, i don't remember when the match will be but we are talking about a gap in strength that is too wide to be able to say that Real Madrid is worried by the Greek team, unfortunately for them there is no chance.
