La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Polkeins]

Looking at the statistics of Girona vs Real Madrid who drew in my opinion, Real Madrid did not play badly but were unlucky. Even though the shot reached 24 times, the ball possession was already 60%. It seems that the away game factor that made Madrid's game less convincing until they had to give up the first standings to their arch enemy Barcelona, which is now two points apart.

Of the last five matches played away, Real Madrid has only won once, drawn three times and lost once. Plus the upcoming match vs Bilbao who play away.

Real really play well and created many scoring opportunities, but the main question is why a club with a roster worth a couple of billion euros cannot score at least two goals against Girona, even though Girona is in the relegation zone in La Liga.
Alonso was also counting on a penalty after a foul on Rodrigo in the Girona penalty area, but a club of Real's stature should not be relying on controversial penalties to win.

It seems that Alonso wants to please everyone, including Real Madrid's management, players, and coaches. For some reason, he fields Guler and Bellingham at the same time, even though they play in the same position and are essentially competitors and last season Ancelotti usually fielded them at different times. Alonso has not yet decided on the fate of Rodrigo, whom they wanted to sell, but now for some reason they are playing him, and there are many such examples.

Real Madrid is now one point behind Barcelona, and it seems that with each match, the pressure on Alonso will increase.

Madrid played well. But they couldn't win. That was their failure. Despite  attacking a lot, their only goal was from a penalty.

Girona's target in this match was to draw. They have no chance of winning against madrid. Girona's performance is very weak this season. Getting points against madrid was a big challenge for them. But even then they  managed to do it. Girona played defensively. Madrid dominated the match. Madrid's players were able  to make a total of 24 shots. Despite  creating a lot of chances, Madrid could not score. The attacking players missed a lot of chances . Madrid also lost the top spot in the table due to losing points in this match.

We can see Real Madrid shortcomings, the problem lies in the lack of a number 9 striker, perhaps Xabi Alonso knows about this, but he seems to have no intention of giving Gonzalo or Endrick a chance to play as starters. The same problem always arises when facing a team that plays in a closed game and has a tight defense, there is no striker in the opponent's penalty box, so Real Madrid has difficulty scoring goals.
Three consecutive draws in La Liga have forced Real Madrid to cede first place to Barcelona. This situation cannot be allowed to continue, otherwise Real Madrid will fall further behind Barcelona.

It's a shame for a team like Real Madrid to lose to Girona, who are bottom of the league. Last year, Real Madrid beat Girona, who were in much better form, by a large margin. Real Madrid lost first place to Barcelona due to Girona's draw. The coming weeks look set to be even tougher for Real Madrid.

Girona were in the relegation zone. The team's performance this season has been very poor. For this reason , Madrid is considered the favorite in this match. Even that was normal. Anyway , due to the poor performance of madrid's attacking players, they lost points in this match as well. Madrid have lost three  points in a row in La liga. And in all three matches we have seen madrid's weak attacking side. Despite  attacking a lot, they are not able to score. Xabi alonso needs to find Madrid's weaknesses. If Madrid's  performance is so weak in the next few matches, then Real Madrid will fall further behind in the title race.

Real Madrid lost first place to Barcelona due to Girona's draw. The coming weeks look set to be even tougher for Real Madrid.

The 1-1 draw was a very bad result for Real Madrid, as they had drawn three consecutive matches, It was very disappointing, especially since Real Madrid failure to get three points this week meant they lost the top spot in the standings, which was taken over by Barcelona by two points.

I watched this match and I think Real Madrid's problem in this match and in the last few matches is their very selfish front line, which seems to have no chemistry with each other, Or perhaps the rumors circulating between the players and the coach that there is no harmonious relationship are true, If that is true it is very likely that Real Madrid will sink even deeper unless Real Madrid's management can resolve this problem quickly.

Real Madrid lost first place to Barcelona due to Girona's draw. The coming weeks look set to be even tougher for Real Madrid.

I am truly disappointed with the outcome of this match. I was hoping Real Madrid would win this game by at least two goals. However, the draw completely ruined my bet. I placed too much trust in Real Madrid in this match and bet quite heavily. I thought it was reasonable to expect Real Madrid to defeat Girona, who have struggled throughout the season.

After watching this match, I began to realize that both Barcelona and Real Madrid seem to be in a less than ideal position in the Champions League. I think the teams from La Liga this season are simply not as good as usual. All teams seem to be struggling to maintain their own stability this season. Sometimes they can make us cheer with joy because of their extraordinary matches where they defeat their opponents in a good way and with a big score. But then in other matches, they become disappointing. Ah, never mind, I don't want to have high hopes for these two teams anymore. Even though I always support them, I don't want to get my hopes up too high this time.

Finally Barcelona leading back the La Liga top standings position since loss at El Clasico match, inconsistent performance from Real Madrid have losses three points last three matches in a row holding draw by Rayo Vallecano, Elche and last night got draw against Girona. Barcelona has 1 point remaining from Madrid lead the top standings with 34 points and Madrid has 33 points, but next match Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid and Madrid will face Bilbao.
If Barcelona loss points next match from Atletico and Madrid get back three points from Bilbao will back to top position but difficult to see Madrid back to top trend how three draw matches in a row from not top teams. If Madrid can't consistent for every match I don't see any high influence for next el clasico match back to top position.

Barcelona, despite having and still facing problems, has shown everyone that they can win and stay at the top of the championship and that is not a given given that these guys are really strong, right now they must try to stay with as many points as possible.

The Spanish league, along with the English one, is the hardest to win because the season is very long and demanding, the league is of very high quality, and it is difficult to maintain form throughout the entire season and avoid occasional dips in performance and results. 
Regardless of the current crisis, I think that Real, along with Barcelona, is still the main favorite for the Spanish championship title, even though recently they haven't been playing well either in the league or in the Champions League. 
It seems that the Real team currently lacks enough stability in their play, and that the team is not united, there are tensions between the head coach and some players, and that is not good.

[fuguebtc]

Barcelona, despite having and still facing problems, has shown everyone that they can win and stay at the top of the championship and that is not a given given that these guys are really strong, right now they must try to stay with as many points as possible.

A few weeks ago we  saw Barcelona's weak and inconsistent performance. Their overall performance was weak. Many  of us thought that it was going to be much more difficult for Barcelona to occupy the top spot of the table. Barcelona was 5 points behind madrid. But in just 3 weeks , barcelona has managed to occupy the top spot of the table again.

Madrid has lost points in  three of their matches in a row . They have drawn three matches. And because of this, they have lost the top spot of the table. Real Madrid is 1 point behind Barcelona.

Another important thing is that Atletico madrid is only 3 points behind Barcelona. So this time the title fight is not only between barcelona and Real Madrid. We can see big changes in the points table at  any time. The performance of Villarreal and Atletico madrid is also quite stable now.

Real Madrid lost first place to Barcelona due to Girona's draw. The coming weeks look set to be even tougher for Real Madrid.

the fact that Real Madrid is so far from playing actual team football is just so annoying. Their games are giving me zero enjoyment right now.
Their biggest luck is having a solid keeper, honestly. otherwise, they would lose most of their games. the team is in a terrible situation. even Valvarde... He was playing like a storm last year. But he is totally lost this season.

[Solokan]

Real Madrid , I hope you guys enjoyed what my club did to you tonight!
That was just a little tease, but to be honest, both sides had a good game. Even though I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to have such a tough time against a team that is currently struggling to keep up , they played well anyway. They wasted so many chances, though! It was like watching Barcelona, but a 'Super Barcelona' versionwhen it comes to wastage, because they missed an excessive number of opportunities tonight. Imagine having 20 shots with only 4 or 5 on target. Yup, that's how bad it was!

Yeah, their inconsistency continued last night. I don't think it's normal considering how many of their star players. There is something wrong in the dressing room!. Many players are dissatisfied with Alonso's management. Federico Valverde, Vini Jr., etc, seem not to really have chemistry like the previous session. Maybe Xabi is more focused on Mbappe and forgets another player who can build the attack. And on the other side, they hard to win, which is projected easy to get 3 points. Now, their rival Barcelona has shifted 1st position, it's like deja vu from the previous session.

As a team with many star players, they should be able to easily defeat Girona because, of course, when you look at the quality of the players between Girona and Real Madrid, Real Madrid is clearly better. But what can you do? It's already happened, and now Alonso has to work on training his players to perform better in the upcoming matches. There are rumors that Real Madrid's performance has declined because some players are unhappy with Alonso's coaching, and there are other rumors as well. However, there are also reports that Alonso and the players have a good relationship. Sometimes I get confused because there are too many news reports.

Barcelona must be happy now because Real Madrid couldn't beat Girona, so Barcelona remains at the top of the standings. In my opinion, Real Madrid still has plenty of time to overtake Barcelona because there are still many matches left for Real Madrid to play. In their next match, Real Madrid will face Bilbao. Who do you think will win? Sometimes I get confused when making predictions because Bilbao is definitely stronger than Girona.

[m4r1o]

The results of Real Madrid are concerning as they have had three consecutive draws after being practically at full strength. A team that has merely impressed the champions league should not be losing in such a heavy manner in the league and the fact that Girona takes points off their hands only adds to the inconsistency. Had the reports of internal problems or strife with Xabi Alonso, there is a need to move fast by the club, since the club may easily lose its title ambitions because of these issues. The fact that Barcelona passes them as a wake up call. Madrid needs to get back on track, sort whatever is going on in the dressing room, and begin playing at the caliber required of a team that is competing on the league.

I think that Xabi Alonso is not capable of managing such a strong team, then if you can't impart your rules you will never succeed, obviously if everyone is against you there will never be the possibility of winning any match and everyone knows this

[hyudien]

And this draw really puts Real Madrid in second place in the standings, because they can only get 1 point, sharing it with Girona, this made me annoyed last night to the point of ruining my mood.

Come on, Xabi, I think you are a great person and win the match against Bilbao so you can return to the top, even though it means Barcelona must meet Atletico Madrid's defeat, I think Atletico is capable of beating Barcelona considering its ability, I hope so.

Could their draw last night be due to a strained relationship between Xabi and several Real Madrid players, particularly Vini? After several articles published about it some time ago, Real Madrid performance declined, with only three points from their last three matches, including last night match. This is a significant disadvantage, especially considering their opponents are quite weak.
Their next opponent is Bilbao, a team that isn't in top form. If they continue to struggle, I don't know what to say.

[Just Say]

Exactly, if Kylian Mbappe had missed a penalty in the 67th minute yesterday, Real Madrid would have lost. 1-1 score or draw by a strong Real Madrid against Girona is like losing point for me. The goal that Azzedine Ounahi scored for Girona in the first half was a really good performance. However, this goal will put extra pressure on Madrid in the next match. In the future, Real Madrid will have to play carefully when playing against a weaker team than them.

At first glance it seems to me that the French icon rescued Los Blancos in the 67th minute against Girona yesterday, and it is significant that they failed to regain top spot in this tournament, despite Mbappe preventing their defeat with a penalty but now it seems to us all that the more matches Real Madrid draws, the more favorable doors will open for the Spanish giants Blaugrana. Looking at the statistics from the last match, it is clear that Madrid had 60 percent possession, but they unfortunately drew, which was equivalent to a defeat, against Girona. In fact i witnessed that Mbappe's team has drawn two games back to back over the past few weeks, furthermore yesterday, the team also drew against Girona in Montilivi, Spain, resulting in their points now at 33.

[slapper]

There is a one-point gap between Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid has already lost its top spot. On the one hand, losing the top spot and not being able to win three consecutive matches has broken the team mentally. Even though they could not win the match, they drew. However, as a big team, this cannot be expected from them three times in a row.

Since this journey is quite long, they should regain their morale and face the remaining matches with courage. If they have any internal problems, they should solve them quickly and move forward. If they cannot do this, Real Madrid may soon lose its current position. Because the smaller teams are already showing their capabilities.

La Liga is all about three teams with fourth team always have space between them last season Athletic Bilbao and in this season Villarreal joined them, but this season is going to be exciting because their performance level is good and chances are high title race could be gone for long time.

Barcelona attack is most effective giving them good results but Real Madrid suddenly facing problems, and they are on serious decline this can hurt them badly if they fail to pick their momentum quickly last three games on road they have only 3 points with now losing their top spot and chances are high they could be gone on 4th spot if fail to bring improvement. Next round Barcelona going to host Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid is going to entertain Athletic Bilbao can bring good changes in league table because currently Atlético Madrid is also at his best after having slow start last 5 games they have 4 clean sheets.

After 14 games you've got Barca, Madrid, Villarreal, Atleti within 3 points of each other. Barca's the classic sugar rush team right now. Fun as hell, scoring for fun, but defending like they're speed running heart attacks. Flick's high line is basically a casino, either they get you for being offside or you're clean through. And on top of that, an enormous part of their title hopes is resting on the shoulders of an 18-year-old with pubalgia who obviously needs a rest. But it looks great until the body says no.

Madrid's "decline" is weird. I watch them and don't see a bad team I see a side that creates enough to win then walk away with 1-1 and 0-0 because the finishing and the dressing room is broken are both a bit broken. Three straight draws away to teams they should beat and now they've got San Mamés in this state? That's a nightmare fixture emotionally as much as in tack.

And yeah yeah Atleti is absolutely back. Clean sheets everywhere, Oblak looking like old Oblak, Metropolitano a fortress again. Villarreal too - best start over their history, Marcelino's 4-4-2 annoying too everyone.

So I agree that it's going long, but not because "three teams dominate as usual". It's because all four are flawed in totally different ways, and every weekend's like watching which weakness just explodes first.

[knowngunman]

It's a shame for a team like Real Madrid to lose to Girona, who are bottom of the league. Last year, Real Madrid beat Girona, who were in much better form, by a large margin. Real Madrid lost first place to Barcelona due to Girona's draw. The coming weeks look set to be even tougher for Real Madrid.

I like as you put it, this draw is as bad as defeat to Real Madrid. Before the match, I never expect Madrid to struggle against Girona the way they did and even concede goal first. As it stands now, Madrid already lost the table to Barcelona who's currently leading them with one point. Madrid earned three points in their last three La Liga games, losing two points to Rayo Vallecano, Elche and now Girona. All these fixtures are not too hard for Madrid to get the whole nine points and maintain their lead on the table. I will have to agree with you, the coming weeks will be more tougher for them. Barcelona will not easily let go of that top spot now, they're really strong in this league this season.

[$weetne$$]

I think that Xabi Alonso is not capable of managing such a strong team, then if you can't impart your rules you will never succeed, obviously if everyone is against you there will never be the possibility of winning any match and everyone knows this

Managing a top team as Madrid that comes with so much of expectations and high hopes is such a daunting task and so I will not be quick to concluding about xabis's capability with them just yet, thisnis his first season at Madrid and you will agree with me, he is still getting a lot of things in place, of which his tactics will definitely be inclusive but he has not perfect with all of it so I was just hoping we would see it that this up and downs will be expected and app far he has not done terribly either only that more is expected of him.

[bastisisca]

Three games against weak sides have not good result this is surely problem and things are going to be had taken changes but if as media saying most chances few players are going to face transfer this is surely going to happen with the permission of management.

Come on guys, it's normal for there to be some accidents along the way, but then again, it wouldn't be fun.
This problem along the way that they had has reopened La Liga in a big way, making it more entertaining.
Now we have to see if they can solve it or not. That's the crucial point.

[bitLeap]

It's a shame for a team like Real Madrid to lose to Girona, who are bottom of the league. Last year, Real Madrid beat Girona, who were in much better form, by a large margin. Real Madrid lost first place to Barcelona due to Girona's draw. The coming weeks look set to be even tougher for Real Madrid.

I don't know, it was pretty boring watching, with too many passes but failing to penetrate Girona defense. There were several moments where Madrid players had opportunities to shoot from distance, but they didn't capitalize because Xabi wanted everyone to be more direct in the penalty box, resulting in a stalemate with no one daring to take the initiative. 24 shots and only one goal, isn't that a lack of quality? They even tried to build up attacks through Courtois, but they tended to be slow.

[pewboy]

Now, their rival Barcelona has shifted 1st position, it's like deja vu from the previous session.

Yes, i think that there is no longer that alchemy that characterizes Real Madrid's victories, obviously everyone was seeing this and i think they want to get rid of Xabi Alonso and i think he doesn't have much left, this team is not managing to get the results they hoped for.
