La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Wildwest]

Barcelona has no choice but to win against Alaves if they want to keep up with Real Madrid in the title race, especially since they're playing at home. Barcelona's player quality is clearly superior to Alaves', and it's crucial for Barcelona not to underestimate them.

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.

In the 14th matchday of La Liga, Barcelona will face an opponent who is ranked lower, but this match should not be underestimated because Barcelona has just suffered a very embarrassing defeat from Chelsea in the Champions League, and they must really correct their mistakes in order to continue to compete with Real Madrid who is already at the top of the standings, so the match with Alaves is their capital to get the team spirit back on the winning track, and they will be back at the top of the standings.

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.

I have seen Real Madrid as a club that never lets a superstar go to their rivals, especially Barcelona. Even if they don't get one of their two players on the field, Real will never lose a world-class player like them. There is no possibility of them dropping Mbappe after fighting for two summers. There is no such incident in Real Madrid's history. If they have to choose one due to the tactical system, then it is possible to arrange the team's attack with Vini and Mbappe up front. I think they can become the two most dangerous forwards in the world in this setup.

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.

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.

Very good, exactly my point of view on this match, even if Barcelona has been winning them for a while, let's look at this particular match in other aspects. The Alaves has been on their worst or poor performances these days, even from their last two matches against Girona FC and Celta. The Alaves faces 2 consecutive losses, but this particular match may differs from the one against Barcelona due to their poor performances in the Champions League against Chelsea,despite Barcelona have been beating them since last season till date, I can only partially predict on Barcelona in this match. Well, I still trust them in LaLiga because they have been on a good run race and dragging points with Real Madrid in LaLiga. Moreover, let's see what the outcome may be for Barcelona if they can able to secure their additional points in this match.

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.

A chance to go two point ahead of Real Madrid with confidence restored. They may have lost a lot of confidence after the big loss to Chelsea in the Champions League due to injuries. But I think Barcelona will win easily against Alaves but it would not be right to consider the opponent as weak. Because strong teams become confident of winning when they face weak opponents, and that belief is one of the reasons why the team loses. If you analysis the statistics of the two teams rather than comparing mathematical equations, Barcelona has a much higher chance of winning.

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? 

Barcelona's scandalous defense led to their defeat by a different score in the Chelsea away game. In fact, in the match they won against Athletic Bilbao, they also gave their opponents clear chances, but the opposing team failed to convert their final shots. Barcelona will be more cautious defensively this time. On the other hand, Alaves is also a very solid defensive team. Since Coudet arrived, they have conceded only 3 goals in 4 matches against Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atl.Madrid. Alaves will again sit back defensively and lock down their opponents. However, Barcelona will want to end their poor run with this match and will win it, even if by a narrow margin.

The numerous injuries to Barca players have shaken the team's foundation, making it difficult for them to execute according to plan. The defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League further depressed their morale, but the match against Alaves will be Flick's focus, aiming to get back to winning ways to boost team morale. Statistically, it may be easy to overcome, but Alaves is still worth wary of, even though they are not the favorites.

A win will be crucial for Barca, not only boosting the players' motivation but also helping them seize the top spot in the standings from Real Madrid.

[Akbarkoe]

Elche actually played quite impressive in playing the ball, their passes were much better than Getafe, then the chances were also more Elche but Getafe had one extraordinary opportunity advantage and they were able to execute it very well so that it could result in a goal in the second half on the head of Mauro Arambarri.
After the goal Getafe played defensively, they chose to defend very tightly, although they could still be destroyed by their defense but did not produce a goal for Elche, 1-0 for this match.

The match that took place was also interesting between Mallorca and Osasuna, Mallorca played differently today, they played well, not like usual, 2-0 was quite lasting, but as I type Mallorca can be broken by its dominance and Osasuna adds its score, the temporary position is 2-1 at this time, it is a pity if Osasuna can get another goal and end with a draw, maybe Mallorca will remain in the threat of the Relegation Zone.

[Moreno233]

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.

Nice choice for me because Barcelona will win the match without Fermin. They still have the forward that can discipline their visitors which is far below them in both quality of players and team coordination. Barcelona may even win them with many goals gap because they have been in good scoring mood of recent even as they also concede goals easily now due to poor defensive midfield which is a major problem for them at the moment. Next week Barcelona will be playing Atletico Madrid so they have to win today since there is no guarantee that they can win Atletico Madrid.

They are not as tough as you think, Alaves actually continues to experience a decline in their performance that is bad news for Alaves, so their toughness is gone, especially now doing away matches will certainly be defeated by Barcelona easily.
Although Barcelona lost to Chelsea in the champions league but in the domestic league it will not be easy for them to lose it, the champions league is very competitive, the arena is unusual and very difficult in Barcelona's current situation to get a victory, but against ALaves it is not too difficult to get this job done.

Barcelona will try to be above Madrid, because this is also an opportunity to beat Madrid in the standings, Madrid is very bad is a great opportunity.

Alaves are in poor form, having only managed four points in the last five weeks, so a Barcelona win is all but assured. The bookmakers are even offering low odds for Hansi Flick squad. The lineups have been confirmed, with Rafinha in the starting lineup. It seems Flick wants to finish the match quickly. My remaining concern is Barcelona defense. Hopefully, Flick won't play his high line, as sometimes against weaker teams, a high line can backfire.

The defeat to Chelsea was particularly painful for Barcelona, ​​having just dropped crucial points in the Champions League and broken their unbeaten run since their last defeat to Real Madrid in El Clasico. It is likely that Hansi Flick will field a different line-up when facing Alaves, if you look at the picture, Hansi Flick seems to be experimenting with his squad because it has never been played before.
He fielded the pivot duo of Casado and Bernal who were given their first start. Meanwhile, the back line was even more random, with Eric Garcia deployed as right-back and the center-back duo being Gerard Martin and Cubarsi. For the front line, the trio of Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski started together for the first time this season. We'll have to wait and see whether Flick concoction proves effective this time, or whether it will yield unsatisfactory results again.

This defeat is a shock for Barcelona but I don't consider this one as a painful defeat for them. They played bad and are deserved this defeat and it's only painful if they played well but unluckily lost the match eventually. Barcelona truly played worse than Chelsea and they should not feel painful with this defeat. They still need such defeats for awareness of their own weakness and take time for improvement before the season goes to most important months.

In Champions League, if playing bad in knock out matches, a defeat means an ending of a club adventure in a Champions League season. Barcelona are still lucky because this match does not eliminate them from Champions League but gives them chance of realizing issues they need to improve in coming months.

Hopefully, Flick won't play his high line, as sometimes against weaker teams, a high line can backfire.

I missed the start of the match, Alaves had already scored a goal, and Barcelona had already equalized, and it was only the ninth minute. I think it won't be difficult for Barcelona to win this match, given how it started, we could see a lot of goals. Barcelona needs this win because Real Madrid will likely beat Girona tomorrow, and it's crucial to maintain this one-point lead. Atletico Madrid will also beat Oviedo today, but the odds for that match are also very low. If they wait, maybe the visitors will open the scoring first. It's a shame I missed Alaves' early goal.

It's surprising that Barcelona conceded an early goal in the 4th minute, it made me feel that they're yet to recover from the lose to Chelsea in the champions league but when I checked the lineups I just realised that the defence is weak cause of injuries and rested players, Flick is trying to avoid more injuries that's why he rotated the team to something slightly different from his normal lineup, maybe he'll put more key players in the 2nd half.
 Anyways Yamal managed to equalise few minutes after they conceded and its boosted my confidence concerning them winning the matc, I'm only worried about their defense since it could expose them to a draw.

Barcelona should have won easily due to the significant difference in quality compared to Alaves, especially since Barcelona was playing at home. I had no doubts that Barcelona would easily win.

The match was underway, and in the opening minutes, Alaves scored due to a Barcelona player's negligence. However, Yamal equalized shortly after, The score was now 1-1 and I was quite optimistic that Barcelona would score again and win the match.

Barcelona drawing points with Deportivo Alaves. This is not the core result we expected to see from Barcelona. They're not pushing as if they're ready for winning this weekend. Hansi Flick wouldn't afford to lose point today because it's a must win game for Barcelona and there's no way losses will count if there's no pressure from Barcelona on oppositions. Talking about barcelona already recover from the loss against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League. They're not stopping anytime soon and this is mere setback for them.

I have seen Real Madrid as a club that never lets a superstar go to their rivals, especially Barcelona.

I think they can become the two most dangerous forwards in the world in this setup.

Dropping Mbappe is a decision I will consider way far out of their plans now and not even in the following season ahead. Vinicius and Mbappe would be a really brilliant dou if they both build that chemistry for s good forward combination but somehow they do not seem to have had that already and so it is making it hard to see those spectacular performances emerging from their combination, but individually they are both doing great.

Barcelona will try to be above Madrid, because this is also an opportunity to beat Madrid in the standings, Madrid is very bad is a great opportunity.

The Champions League and La Liga are two different competitions - so Barcelona remain favorites over Alaves. Barcelona's Champions League defeat was understandable - they were outnumbered and Chelsea were able to capitalize on that. Weak defense, less sharp attack, that's what made Barcelona lose at Stamford Bridge.

Today Barcelona is playing at home - they are the favorites to win, so be prepared to take the win if you want to bet on Barcelona. The temporary score was 2-1 in Barcelona's favor - but surprisingly Barcelona conceded in the first minute, but Yamal managed to bring his team equalizer in the 8th minute.

Barca's defensive organization has been very poor so far, making it very easy for opponents to penetrate. Hansi Flick must be able to revitalize the attack and launch sporadic attacks to score more goals, making it difficult for opponents to attack again. I think Flick will have to work hard on the touchline to keep his team alert. Three points are crucial to maintaining their chances of staying at the top of the table.

[Sexylizzy2813]

The thing that makes me laugh each time I see Barcelona favorite is that he's always on top and doing well when he doesn't face a tougher opponent. No Mendy no Cucurella and Yamal is one of the best and he deserves to win the ballon d'or, this just shows that Yamal is not close to what some people think of him. Against Chelsea he was off color even before the red card and that shouldn't be an excuse but look at him now, taking on defenders without fear, what happened that he couldn't complete any dribble against Cucurella?
