La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[RockBell]

Assessing contributions of Vinicius Junior and Mbappe, I value Vinincius higher than Mbappe as the Brazilian player actually have more widely contributions for the team than Mbappe. Vinicius can score goals, make assists, make key passes, make dribbles and create space for other players in the team including Mbappe. The French player has more limited contritbutions which are mainly in goals he can score. In matches Mbappe can not score goals, his contributions for the team usually are very limited and can not compare to Vinicius' contributions for Real Madrid.

Vinicius Junior has been one of the best shots that Real Madrid has gotten, and he came before Mbappe. And from watching them play, Vinicius Junior has been doing everything possible just to support Mbappe, and when Mbappe came in, Vinicius Junior reduced the kind of energy he has been putting in, just to support mbappe,  Vinicius Junior gives more assist than score goals, he contribution in the club is just one of a kind because he choose to support his team mates than to be a selfish player, because there players that are more concerned about there self.

Real Madrid need both Mbappe and Vinicius in the squad for highest attacking quality but if they have to choose between the two star players, it's a very hard choice for them. If I am the Real Madrid boss, I would prefer Vinicius Junior than Mbappe but Real Madrid as we knew, already made their big decision by getting Mbappe from PSG even with a considerable drama two summers ago.

Both Vinicius Junior and Mbappe are assets to the club, and they are a good combo. And if they are to make a choice, I don't know who they will want to choose at this point, because both of them are actually good, and choosing Vinicius Junior is also not a bad idea, I don't see the reason why they have to choose, because both of them are actually favorites, and the stress that real Madrid went through to get mbappe its going to be a very hard decision to make but some times they just have to make ruthless decisions when it comes to that.

Sometimes we only judge things based on the results, and we never know what's really going on with the team. I'm sure every decision the coach makes (including selecting players and substituting them in a match) is based on reason. However, those of us who are watching from the outside will question those decisions.

I'm not trying to defend Xabi, and I wouldn't blame anyone who asks questions, because that's a very common and normal thing in football. I often ask why decisions are made, and questions usually arise when results aren't good.

No matter what you do, the results will determine how successful you are. Sometimes your efforts determine how successful you are. When you can lead a failing team to success, you can be considered successful even if you are not successful. Because you have achieved their goals and have shown the light of success to a failing team.

But what happens when you cannot lead a successful team to success? Then of course no one will call you successful. Real Madrid is a better team this season than last season, Xabi Alonso has got a better team to win the title for Real Madrid. But we are not getting the expected results, Real Madrid's sharpness has decreased and it is decreasing day by day. We do not know the inside news and we should not know it. It is the job of a coach to have a good relationship with the players or the rest of the coaching staff or management people. If not, then leave that place, it is better for yourself. Xabi Alonso has had enough time to prove himself. Now we are waiting for good results

[Jossque]

In the opening match of the week, we watched Getafe take on Elche. The points difference between the two teams before the match was 1, but after Getafe won with the home advantage, the gap widened to 4 points. Despite Elche playing more aggressively, their inability to score proved costly. Getafe let Elche have the ball and won the match by scoring one goal. With Getafe having lost in the last two weeks, I think this victory will help them recover. The fact that their last three matches all ended with a 1-0 score is truly a coincidence.

[asriloni]

After barcelona faced Chelsea during the midweek, and suffered the massive lose. They will once again to continue their journey in La Liga. They're gonna face Alaves, which i think it's gonna be an easy game. However, so many people concerned about Fermin's injury will force him to out for several weeks.

Nevertheless, they can still easily win the game with the available players in their squad. Statistically, they always won against Alaves. They recorded 49 wins, 7 draw and 7 losses to the Alaves. So, i think the result is obvious.

I decide to risky my money on betting on them. Their odds is literally very small with only 1.22, but since i believe they guaranteed to win based on their statistic. I'm not feeling so reluctant in betting on them.

What's you guys choice regarding this game?

They're gonna face Alaves, which i think it's gonna be an easy game. However, so many people concerned about Fermin's injury will force him to out for several weeks.

The match against Alaves is a great opportunity for Barcelona to bounce back from their humiliating defeat to Chelsea in the UCL and restore their players confidence. Mathematically, Barcelona can easily beat Alaves, but the condition is that Barcelona must play at their best and be supported by full confidence. The two teams' H2H in the last five matches has always been dominated by Barcelona with wins, so there is no reason for Barcelona to lose points in front of their supporters while also keeping up with Real Madrid in the standings.

Actually, playing together mbappe and vinicus is good even though both initially played as wingers, but Mbappe has long played as a CF No. 9 both in the French national team and when he was at PSG. And before Xabi Alonso arrived, Vinicius often occupied the CF No. 9 position. However, the disharmonious relationship between Vinicius and Xabi Alonso will reduce Real Madrid's attacking power, because Vinicius's performance is less than optimal due to the disharmony in his relationship with Xabi Alonso.

[Pandorak]

Yes, I completely agree with you on this. Because it is a completely logical thing to increase Vinicius Junior's salary. If we compare Vinicius Junior's salary with Mbappe's, then it may never be the right decision. Because Vinicius Junior is a very good player, he knows very well how to take the team forward and he has proven it before Mbappe was in the team. However, if Mbappe is asked to take the team forward, then maybe Mbappe will never be able to fulfill this responsibility fully. Because Mbappe can never play in harmony with his teammates. When he gets the ball, he tries to score goals by himself, he never tries to play for the team.

I've also noticed this, Mbappe who came as a star player, who has caught the attention of the football world even before coming to Real Madrid, a player who has proven himself worthy of being at the highest level today, so it is very natural that the salary offered by the club is also fantastic, this is what then triggered the jealousy of one of the key players at Real Madrid "Vinicius Junior", a player who contributed greatly in key moments to achieve victory, so it is natural that he feels he deserves greater recognition for his hard work, including in the form of a salary increase. Hopefully, these two players can play compactly in one team, they are very talented players, it would be a shame to be destroyed just because of ego.

[bitLeap]

What's you guys choice regarding this game? 

Given Barcelona current form, even without Fermin it won't be a significant factor, they can definitely take all three points in today's match. I don't think Alavés can match Barcelona offensively as long as their defense remains alert.

I'm betting on a Barcelona win.

[AYOBA]

Real Madrid need both Mbappe and Vinicius. Because Vinicius has consistently kept the team stable with long-term experience. On the other hand, Mbappe scored great goals in his first season and his finishing ability is good. His performance is extraordinary and satisfying. It is important to keep Vinicius in the team, but if the team cannot score good goals, the team is worthless. Mbappe is a rising and promising star, so he will progress due to his talent and he cannot be forced to hold on to it. Therefore, instead of devaluing Vinicius, a proper solution should be reached through discussions and this work is necessary for the interests of the team.

With the current performances of those two players I don’t think Real Madrid performances will go well if something happens to any of them especially the Mbappe who have a great goals of the season in their match, and that’s why it seem that the Real Madrid performances is more stable this days as Vinicius and Mbapper has been consistently this season unlike last season that they faces some challenges in most of their matches. But this season their performance are little better compared to last season.

After losing so badly to Chelsea in the Champions League, Barcelona certainly doesn't want to repeat the same mistake against Alaves. Moreover this match, played in front of their home fans, is certainly an opportunity for Barcelona to vent their disappointment after losing to Chelsea.

Furthermore with Barcelona only one point behind Real Madrid, this will certainly be even more motivating for Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the standings in a day, as Real Madrid will face Girona in two days. If Madrid doesn't win against Girona, Barcelona will still be at the top of the standings. So I think Barcelona will give their all against Alaves to secure a win. Moreover Barcelona's potential for victory is very high, as playing at home will undoubtedly fuel the Barcelona players' enthusiasm.

Without those two players in real Madrid club, they don't have strength to face their opponent and win the game, because Mbappe and vinicius has contributed positively to  Real Madrid improvement to where they are today. Before Real Madrid brought the two players to the club they know what they are expecting from Mbappe and vinicius, and it have lead them to be among the top clubs in the la Liga league table.

There is no season Real Madrid don't use to go far in every tournament, because they have potential players that know how to score goals that will turn the game to victory for Real Madrid to last longer in the tournament.

This is a game that I’m expecting Barcelona to win comfortably, just like what you have said after loosing to Chelsea, Barcelona wouldn’t want to be loosing another game back to back, even a draw wouldn’t be very good for them, considering what is at stake in the La Liga this season, they’re just a point behind Real Madrid, so I will not be expecting any lackadaisical surprises because this should be a game that this team should win comfortably,

This would obviously present a chance for Barcelona to go top in the La Liga table, in the expense of Real Madrid and Barcelona is at home that will obviously show that this is a game they should be winning both on paper and playing games, Deportivo Alaves isn’t a team that should pose much threat against Barcelona which is why anything less than a win will be another disappointment.

Barcelona will face Alaves few hours later and want to revenge after defeating by Chelsea at Champion League 3-0, however playing early at La Liga has chance for Barcelona back to top position because the rival team Madrid playing lately in this week. Barcelona must improved the defense players after weakness performance exactly if Hansi Flick playing Ronald Araújo got red card last match when facing Chelsea. Barcelona has one point remaining with Madrid if can win against Alaves for several hours later leading the top position and possibility until one week later if Madrid loss from Girona.
Madrid recent week match holding draw by Rayo Vallecano and not really sure will get three points against Girona, Barcelona has higher possibility get victory against Alaves.

[Slow death]

After barcelona faced Chelsea during the midweek, and suffered the massive lose. They will once again to continue their journey in La Liga. They're gonna face Alaves, which i think it's gonna be an easy game. However, so many people concerned about Fermin's injury will force him to out for several weeks.

Nevertheless, they can still easily win the game with the available players in their squad. Statistically, they always won against Alaves. They recorded 49 wins, 7 draw and 7 losses to the Alaves. So, i think the result is obvious.

I decide to risky my money on betting on them. Their odds is literally very small with only 1.22, but since i believe they guaranteed to win based on their statistic. I'm not feeling so reluctant in betting on them.

What's you guys choice regarding this game? 

I also bet on Barcelona to win. They're playing at home, they played very well in their last La Liga game, and they have all their best attackers available, so I see them winning. But because the odds are low, I preferred to put Barcelona in my 3-team parlay, so the odds increased a bit, making the risk worthwhile. Barcelona could also count on Pedri.

Pedri is back and will be called up for Barça game vs Alavés.

“He can play some minutes in the second half”, says Hansi Flick.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1994388382924079148

He won't play for many minutes, but it's already good news for the Barcelona coach. In the last two games, Alaves haven't managed to score at least one goal, and it's true that they haven't conceded many goals either, which could mean an improvement in defense or simply because they played against weak attacking opponents. Either way, I'll watch the game and hope they win.

Barcelona have been very generous with goals this season and today will not be different. If you check their records in both La Liga and the UEFA champions league, you will confirm that all their matches have recorded 3+ goals and the good thing is that they are always rated very high in terms of the odd. So, instead of going for Barcelona to win with the odd of 1.22, I rather go with what they have been producing this season which is over 2.5 at 1.42 odd. I'm not saying that Barcelona will not win, they will definitely win but I'm just considering what will give the higher odd.

[MArsland]

Both Vinicius Junior and Mbappe are assets to the club, and they are a good combo. And if they are to make a choice, I don't know who they will want to choose at this point, because both of them are actually good, and choosing Vinicius Junior is also not a bad idea, I don't see the reason why they have to choose, because both of them are actually favorites, and the stress that real Madrid went through to get mbappe its going to be a very hard decision to make but some times they just have to make ruthless decisions when it comes to that.

When players egos are put down and focus on playing for the club that's what should be done. It's natural that Vinicius is different now but once again that doesn't stop Vinicius from being outstanding. I'm sure over time Vinicius realizes that if he continues to follow his ego then there is no place in the main squad.

But if Vinicius and Mbappe consistently go through this phase so that they can create dangerous cooperation for their opponents, especially with the role of Arda, I guarantee that Madrid cannot be stopped.

Alaves is a tough opponent for Barcelona in La Liga, and everyone will clearly be backing Barcelona to win rather than Alaves, who are simply the visitors in Barcelona's home ground in today's match. Furthermore, Barcelona must be determined to stay in the race for the top spot with Real Madrid. Losing today would be a huge loss for Barcelona, ​​as they were also comprehensively defeated by Chelsea in the Champions League. Therefore, Barcelona must win today to remain in contention for the La Liga trophy this season.

I don't see much risk for Barcelona against Alves. Barcelona can easily win the match. The strength of the team, the quality of the players and the position in the points table speak in favor of Barcelona's victory. The biggest good news for Barcelona is that their key players are returning from injuries. Although their Champions League mission is not going well, they are still playing well in La Liga and are consistent. Barcelona will have to win every match to overtake Real Madrid and occupy the top spot.

Many have said and speculated that at Real Madrid, besides the fierce competition with top European clubs, there's also intense competition within the club itself. If things aren't going well, Xabia will immediately take decisive action, either by being removed from the starting eleven, getting only limited minutes, or even just being a substitute. But the bottom line is that there is competition, so each player must always give their best performance in every match.

However, despite rumors of various internal competitive conditions and problems, both between players and with the coach, Valverde finally spoke:
