La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[GiftedMAN]

Real Madrid seems to be resolving the Vinicius Junior issue. Vini Jr. has agreed to a pay cut in his contract. He wanted the same salary as Mbappe, but seems to have realized that won't happen. They're preparing a new contract now. Manchester United and City actually wanted him, but Vini seems more eager to stay at Real. Since he's backing down, he must be satisfied with the opportunities there. His playing time is also good with Xabi Alonso, everything is back to normal now.

There are several other rumors that Vinicious Junior doesn't want to accept a new deal even after Real Madrid has agreed to accept the new pay that he's demanding according to the rumors they said it's because of his fall out with the manager Xabi Alonso but if this your information is accurate and Vinicious Junior has finally settled with the manager that means Manchester United and City will have to wait longer because they can't force him to leave his comfort zone.

Vinicius has a good contribution to the team, if he demands a pay increase they should instead deliberate on it rather than addressing the case like the player doesn't worth the pay increase. What i also see in the team is that other players does the work while Mbappe does the finishing, letting Vinicius leave the club is a big mistake, he deserves an increase even if it doesn't match that of Mbappe.

I don't think the Premier League will be best place for Vinicius, he is going to win more if he remains in the La Liga.

I also read the news about this because it was said that there was a rift between Vini and the manager that made it difficult for him to accept the contract extension that existed as long as Xabi was still in Madrid or indirectly Madrid seemed to be given a choice whether they wanted Vini or Xabi to stay in Madrid.

It's just that if we look at the last match when Madrid faced Olympiacos it seems that this rumor is also too exaggerated even though at some moments in previous matches, especially in El Clasico, Vini seemed to dislike the way Xabi replaced him even though his performance was in good condition which made this a widespread news even up to the contract extension now.

I just hope that this situation can be unraveled because after all Vini is still a great talent even though his performance is a little different but indeed in terms of control and the pattern of play that Vini does on the field it seems like he is starting to realize that his current position is not as a targetman but a supplier of Mbappe and he has reduced the ego in the game he does and that is very good.

Atletico are only four points behind the league leaders, and they are slowly regaining momentum to seriously compete for the title race. If Real Madrid and Barcelona drop points in the future, Atletico looks well placed to take over the top spot in La Liga.
In the Champions League, Atletico chances of qualifying directly for the round of 16 are still very much open. Their victory over Inter Milan confirms that their strength should not be underestimated. I think if Atletico are lucky to avoid an injury crisis, they will most likely become strong contenders in both La Liga and the Champions League this season.

It is clear why you glimpse atletico madrid as title contender this year. Their league form is excellent and they have just now won five straight  matches and are just a few point behind from Los Blancos. Also, Jose Maria Jimenezs last minute goal against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League shows that they still have the potential to fight and the ability to tighten their nerve in any serious condition

however your claim to be strong contender  both La Liga and the UCL seems a bit too optimistic. Their squad deepness and stability  are a bit behind the regular  big teams. exhaustion  and rotation from competing in two tough competitions could pose a danger for them. If they can avoid injuries and play with firmness of purpose then they could get close

He knows the club wouldn't give a rat to sell him if he refuses, the management already made him to know that his dispensable if he keeps on persisting about being in the same salary structure with Mbappe. Although, at first it didn't seem fair that Mbappe just came in and started earning higher than players they had already been in the club. It was later that after analysis, you will easily find out that in terms of name, Mbappe is bigger than them all and again, he was on a free transfer and player who are on this thread tends to get more money as wages simply because the club didn't purchase them.

Don't believe the rumors that are spread in any media and that are only exaggerated.

Look, Vinicius and Alonso are on good terms, and they may have had some issues before, but I don't think they're just kids and have resolved the issue quickly. And regarding a contract extension, Vinicius would certainly accept the offer, as he's had a fantastic career at Madrid and is truly relied upon as a reliable winger.

It is no secret that PSG wanted to pay an unbelievable salary to Mbappe and then there was Saudi Arabia, I don't know which club it was, where the rumors was going around that Mbappe was offered $700 million. Real Madrid knew that if they wanted to have a decent chance to sign Mbappe, the Salary has to be as high as they can possibly afford.

I still don't get why Vinicius Jr. believes he is worth the same money as Mbappe? How does he get that idea? I would like to know what his reasoning is other than a brain functioning subnormally. He can't go there and demand it without giving a proper reason and that reason would be interesting to know.

Pellegrini's contract at Real Betis has been extended. Having managed Betis since 2020, Pellegrini has become a legend at the club. The Betis management made a very wise move. Stability brings success. Winning La Liga is nearly impossible for them because they can't compete with the 2 giants, but they can consistently finish in the upper half of the table and make a name for themselves in European competitions. Under Pellegrini's leadership, the players are doing exactly that. They've been so good in recent years that they've surpassed the city's big team, Sevilla FC.

[B-BossMan]

I'll be watching Elche's match today. Last week, Elche played very well against Real Madrid, but Getafe is also a good team. Getafe has been consistently defeated in the last two weeks, but today, Elche is a team that matches their level.

I expect this match to end with over 2.5 goals. I might take a risk and perhaps choose the over 3.5 goals option.
It wouldn't make sense to bet on the side of this match.

Real Madrid was the one that didn't prepared well in that game but they gave Elche opportunity to play Real Madrid like small club in the tournament. Am not saying that Elche is not a strong club, but for Real Madrid to seat on the first position in the la Liga league table show that Elche is a weak club to Real Madrid in any tournament but Real Madrid made some mistakes in that game that make people to rate Elche as the best club in that game.

If Elche can still prepare themselves the same way they prepared to played with Real Madrid, I guess they will win this game  to gather more supporters, because people like club that is consistent in winning so that they will be sure of their prediction.

I was wondering what happened to Real Madrid in that match particularly; despite that they were in their best form, they actually found it difficult to secure a victory against Elche, but at times this is what is really happening whenever a bigger team seems to look down on other opponent teams, so with Real Madrid's performances even before the match, I was expecting them to win that match against Elche, but that's football at times.

Lookr at Getafe now is beating Elche presently  1-0, but the way am seeing this match going, the Getafe is actually pressuring thier opponents the Elche in this particular match. However, Barcelona also beat or defeated Elche in their last meeting, and it seems difficult for Real Madrid. Well, when Elche changes their game to a good defensive and attack strategy, they may equalise this game, but I still to have hope for Getafe to secure the victory in this match.

At the start of the season, I didn't have high expectations for Atletico Madrid, especially after they lost their first match against Espanyol and only managed a draw in their next game. However, that belief changed after Atletico Madrid managed to silence Real Madrid in the sixth week of La Liga, a victory that truly restored the players' spirits and also restored great hope for the fans, as Atletico Madrid would once again become a strong contender in the title race.

What is quite interesting this season is that it is not only Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid that are competing fiercely for the title. This season, Villarreal has also performed quite well, managing to maintain their position in the top three of the standings.

Regarding Atlético Madrid's performance in this season's Champions League, they have a chance to qualify directly for the Round of 16. However, to become a strong contender in the title race, let alone lift the coveted trophy, a miracle is still needed.

[el kaka22]

Atletico Madrid is fourth in La Liga, not even third, and in UCL they are doing way better if you ask me, that is more than enough for them. Nobody expects them to do better and this is more than enough for them right now. Is this a good result? Of course not, they are expected to do more, but they will be in top sixteen and be first seed and that is enough for them, nothing more is expected by either fans or the world.

Simeone is a great coach there is no doubt about that, which is the reason why they are paying him one of the highest salaries in the world, but that is it, nothing more. This is why we are going to see them keep going like this and consistency is their way of growing as a team and being great.

In terms of personal performance and value, Vinicius Junior is nowhere near Mbappe. His decision is ridiculous and completely unnecessary. Mbappe has a good record at PSG and they were not willing to let him go, and even the Saudi League rumors made him even more valuable. Real Madrid knew that they would have to pay a lot of money to get him. Vinicius Junior doesn't have a lot of good records, he is a good player and is doing good things for Real Madrid. But we will find many alternatives to Vinicius Junior who are willing to play for Real Madrid for a lower salary. But it is not possible to find an alternative to Mbappe.

[Dzwaafu11]

These games are always a risk for me, in fact i try not to play them too much now, i would avoid the win, i don't know why but this thing bothers me and i think they can't win, i know it seems paranoid but i would avoid it, This thing is certainly not certain because it is my impression

You have to have an idea before placing a bet, and perhaps that can be seen based on the team's performance in previous matches. Elche played well against Real Madrid, but there's no guarantee they can repeat the same result against Getafe. Sometimes evenly matched teams will produce different performances, or they could even get much worse results. Usually, I wouldn't bet on games like this because it's difficult to predict the outcome for both teams. It's better to choose other matches that are easier to predict, even though sometimes our predictions don't go according to plan.

Naomi, you can’t compare oh predict and go as planned all the time football is full of surprises,  That’s why I don’t really put too much up on predictions, For Real Madrid performance seriously, The way they performing these days in the recent match is becoming more difficult for me to Predict the match because they don’t look like before.

their performance was very good in the early stages of this season, and they are performing is kind of declining. What happened between then and Elche should be a sign for us that Real Madrid are not doing like they were doing when the season first start. As it’s now, seriously I don’t really have too many hope on Real Madrid, but whatever performance they pull that is what matters.

What's the plan going on with Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid? It's true about the Brazilian broken relationship with the headcoach and this is not helping matters. Although it's proclaim about Vinicius Junior and Xabi Alonso finally settling every misunderstanding and hanging together, do you believe? Well Real Madrid wouldn't want any form of escalating problems and they plan on keeping every thing going on within these players and coach private. There are tense atmosphere where we get to see Vinicius Jr upset when Xabi Alonso decided to take him off. This is not a player that should be taken off because he's a crucial player for Real Madrid and there's no way he's settling down for less.

[henmark]

Hansi Flick definitely helped Barcelona a lot, but I still insist that Xavi wasn't that much worse, maybe in some situations it might be, but Flick has one system and as soon as you figure that out you are going to beat them, dude doesn't know the meaning of word adjusting. Don't get me wrong, if the other team is not ready and do not adjust accordingly, Barcelona will beat anyone, and Flick will beat anyone, but the moment you adjust, flick fails to adjust back and that's when they lose easily.

Chelsea did that, and even la liga smaller clubs sometimes do it, so it's clear that while Barcelona is overall a good team, they are failing harshly regards to reacting what's happening. They know how to do one thing, very well, but that's it.

I don't know why the media spread bad information about Vinicious like it's a bad thing to request for more salary, he is doing well and who is doing well deserved good money, Alaba is earning more than that dude but what is Alaba doing for Real Madrid right now. Which day did Mbape came but he is earning more than him. If they value him, they are going to adjust his pay to make him stay but the pay should come under condition maybe a bonus condition, I don't trust players this days.

I feel that why didn't make this demands in the beginning of the season. He is asking for outrageous money when the team is in a very sensitive condition, even Xabi is too busy to be entertaining this drama of increased pay. It was the same him that want a high pay but has refused to score goal in any of their recent games, just few assists and there.

Real Betis are doing well, while they can not actually compete for the league title they can compete for other titles or maybe other domestic trophy or UEFA competitions like Conference league and maybe the Europa league. If not that they met Chelsea in the Conference league final they would have likely won the conference league, I think they can still lift a trophy with him in time.

Liverpool Beat Real Madrid as well last season. Arsenal did the same. In the League phase, Liverpool finished first with only one lost game, Arsenal finished 3rd. PSG finished at the number 15 position and even went for play-offs if I recall so well but guess who lifted the trophy?

All I am saying is that the results in the league phase don't really matter that much, so long as a team manages to qualify for the knockout phase. That is when real business begins.

[Jewan420]

All I am saying is that the results in the league phase don't really matter that much, so long as a team manages to qualify for the knockout phase. That is when real business begins.

In the league stage, it is enough to somehow qualify for the next round. The main game starts in the knockout stage. Even after multiple defeats in the league stage, it is possible to qualify for the next round, meaning there is a good chance to correct mistakes. But is it possible to get that chance in the knockout stage? No. I think the league stage is the time for the team to correct its mistakes and to show its strength in the knockout stage. At this time, it is not possible to win the title by applying more energy, but rather a waste of energy.

[Fara Chan]

Xabi Alonso gambled with that match and he was paid back in his own coin. How will you relax your important players in an important match or he didn't see it as an important match to win. I believe that he has learnt a hard lesson by losing all three points. He squad isn't in their best form, for that reason, he should focus on winning all his matches.

Real Madrid is under even more pressure now, with a one-point gap over their closest rivals. Therefore, Xabi Alonso must find unique strategies to implement within the Real Madrid team to consistently deliver more satisfying results, which in other words, wins. I also see Real Madrid still being more easily penetrated by any opponent at the moment, especially when I've watched their Champions League matches this season. Therefore, Xabi Alonso needs to address this issue, and the team management must also focus on building the team's defense, which may currently be lacking.
