La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Majestic-milf]

Girona usually was not a team to worry Real Madrid, but with the result from today, it clearly shows you the difference in the players and even coach that Real Madrid had before and have now. Xabi the coach needs to work harder to get better result with this team and be consistent about it because for a club like Real Madrid with the status it has, a win in every game is something they expect. If Xabi cannot give the club that, the supporters may begin to call for a consideration of a new coach to help them not get humiliated because they have a reputation to protect.

Then the same thing should go for when they drew against Elche? What I feel is that these lesser teams have a way of showing their importance in games that's why it's often when there's something at stake that you'd see a small team suddenly becoming impossible to beat. Girona would have won the game had they being another team because at some point Real Madrid started making mistakes that should have cost them, especially the one that Trent Arnold mistakenly served his opponent but they couldn't utilize it.

[Abdulzuruku01]

To be fair, Real Madrid is going through a rough period and that is understandable, every team has those kinds of times, but I do not expect them to be like this at all times. I think it's going to get better and should be getting better long term. They are not going to lose the league just because of last few games, they will recover and do better and they are still a heavy candidate to win it all, they should be able to get it.

I think the best case in this situation would be just making sure that we see them do a fine job, and if we can do that then I am sure that they will win it. If they stay like this, of course they are going to lose, but I doubt a team as good as them will keep on playing like this for a long time.

The reason why people are panicking with Real Madrid recent poor performance is that fans knew they have best squad which no team should mess with, but their performance has been rough. I saw a lot of comments criticising that they should sack Xabi Alonso. To me I feel that's not a good suggestion because I still believe Real Madrid will perform greatly under Xabi Alonso if they regain their momentum.

The challenge Real Madrid is facing now is minor compared to Liverpool performance, because they invested a lot to strengthen their team, yet there's no positive result in fact their situation is getting worse every time, and despite this Liverpool remains patient with Arne Slot, so if Real Madrid management and fans do the same, they will surely make good things happen.

It's just like what's happening to Liverpool currently, they have a very good squad infact one of the best in the league and shouldn't be having difficulties winning games but then the problem with those team is beyond poor management, when there's an issue in the dressing room it tends to be like cause the players won't be giving their best cause some are not in alliance with the coaches strategy. If you noticed Liverpool performed well when Slot continued with Klopp's strategy than now when he changed it, similar thing with Real Madrid, the players doesn't agree with the coaches strategy and are not giving their best with it.

I think Xabi Alonso is starting to feel the heavy pressure of being Real Madrid manager, because in their last five matches in all competitions, Real Madrid have only managed to secure one win. Clearly, this is a big problem, considering they have quite a luxurious squad depth.
The draw against Girona prevented Real Madrid from maintaining their position at the top of the standings, and it has now been taken over by Barcelona. I don’t know exactly what is going wrong with Real Madrid, but the fact that some of their star players seem unhappy. That's certainly a ticking time bomb that will cause chaos if it is not handled properly.

These are challenges that a new coach is expected to face, it is always very difficult to win the league on the very first attempt, but because this is Real Madrid, with very high standards, an instant result is expected to prove you are the right person for the job because they are still even second on the league and people are unhappy. If their star players start feeling uncomfortable in the club, it will surely force them into starting to make considerations for other clubs where they know they can win the Champions league in.

This is the reason why I will always respect Hansi flick no matter what. The only person that was signed during his first season was olmo and he took the dead Barcelona team to another level. He won  3 titles, semi finalist for the champions League and this season he hasn't been given money to sign players of his choice. Xabi came to a Madrid team with good players like mbappe, vini and was still given money to sign players of his choice and his team looks like a dead team. They still blew almost 6 points lead to Barcelona who started the season with alot of injuries and inconsistency.

Atletico Madrid is a medioca team but when they are playing with big teams they tends to be more serious and eager to win and currently I have seen their wins and they have been doing well. Barcelona is not really in a good form and I don't really know about Atletico Madrid too but whatever the case maybe I don't think they can be able to win Barcelona even though Barcelona is not in a good form but the highest they can play if Barcelona doesn't win is a draw but if peradventure atletico Madrid wins they will lead the La Liga table and giving Real Madrid a chance to top if they also win theirs.

I personally would not consider them an ordinary team for now because after all in terms of quality and experience in the end we know that Atletico is a club that is always highly regarded after Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga even they in recent years have never been separated from the same position where every season the Champions League is always a guarantee so it is not too suitable when saying they are a mediocre club.

But it is undeniable that the performance of this club is erratic, they when facing big clubs sometimes do very extraordinary things but when they deal with small clubs especially in terms of level is below Atletico, then they will play even much worse than expected.

This condition is always repeated for them and I think this boils down to Simeone's inability to carry out the scheme, besides that the problem is that club management gives Simeone too much leeway in this regard.

[Adbitco]

I am quite disappointed with Barcelona's match result against Chelsea. But facing Atletico is something different. Barcelona might have an advantage over Atletico if they show a good performance again. 
Atletico will definitely study some things to beat Barcelona, including analyzing Barcelona's match against Chelsea.

I wonder why you are disappointed with Barcelona concerning the Chelsea match, or where you expecting Barcelona to beat Chelsea? No matter how inform Barcelona is and out of form Chelsea is, it has been very difficult for them to get the better of Chelsea. If you check the statistics between both teams you will find out that Barcelona struggles when it comes to Chelsea, so you really don't need to be disappointed because it was meant to happen. Chelsea is always formidable when it comes to playing against Barcelona.

Real Madrid, in their third consecutive away game, is dropping points against the league's mediocre, mediocre teams. They've managed only one win in their last five matches. Perhaps a small squad is as problematic as a small squad. Keeping up with the rotation speed of the defensive back four is impossible. Rudiger hasn't been on the team for a long time, but he was on the pitch yesterday.

Rudiger is no longer a player for this team. If Real Madrid continues like this, they won't be champions.
They shouldn't drop points in the Bilbao match.

[reefsea]

The first half is over and to be honest I'm bored with what Madrid did in today's match.

It did seem like Xabi wanted to move the ball around more to show his dominance but it just didn't work for Madrid.
They circled around too much in their attacking schemes and this ended in a bad situation where a mistake in defense was actually completed with 1 goal by Girona.

Though the formation and line-up played was very good in this match but indeed Madrid was too focused in their possession of the ball which made the results in the first half did not match expectations.

There is still a chance for the second half but I think it would be better if the players are more improv in today's match because after all if they want to maintain their position in the standings then 3 points must be a must for them to get in today's match.
Letting the players be free in holding the ball can be a very good option but don't forget when things like this happen sometimes the ego side of the players is more dominant in a match.

Fran Garcia did well in attack and defense but I think I prefer Carreras at left-back and there also needs to be an increase in intensity so that the players are more brave in the opponent's penalty box so that their build-up of attacks can be more visible in terms of results for the second half.

The match ended in an unsatisfactory result for Madrid, and situations like this are best avoided, especially as the competition is still ongoing. Although it's far from over, losing ground after gaining momentum was definitely a mistake for Madrid.

They are now 1 point behind again, and the tide is starting to turn in Barcelona's favor at the end of the season.
Three draws against clubs that are actually below them in terms of strength and club mentality show that Xabi's current scheme still has many gaps, and he should try something new to make Madrid regain momentum because honestly if this situation continues then Madrid will lose more and more confidence and this will have an impact on Xabi's own future as a coach.

[Rgram]

It feels good to see Barcelona back at the top after Real Madrid failed to beat Girona. But the big question now is whether Barcelona can actually maintain that top position until the end of the season and eventually win the league.

The concern comes mainly from the defense. Barcelona’s defense has been a major problem this season. There’s no way a team can consistently win matches or hope to become La Liga champions with this level of defending. Even smaller teams are creating too many chances, and that is a clear warning sign.

Hansi Flick definitely has a lot to sort out at the back. He is trying, but something needs to be done about the defense if Barcelona wants to stay at the top and fight for the title.

[Alex077]

Valencia and Rayo Vallecano are completely unbalanced because it is boring for us to watch these two teams play, these two teams have already played 14 rounds of the 2025-26 edition of the Spanish league, where Rayo Vallecano had more attacking skills because when we analyze their statistics from five matches, we see that Rayo Vallecano has drawn back to back in its last two games, they will definitely have to work hard to turn this game around. I think Rayo Vallecano is the favorite because they drew against Mighty Madrid they even drew against the Oviedo team, which will give them motivation.

The match has already started. In fact it would be an exaggeration to say that Rayos performance against Valencia has been completely  inconsistent. I admit that historically Valencia has been slightly ahead of the two teams. Valencia has won more matches than Rayo when they have met. However Rayo is usually quite strong at home. They usually play a deep defensive line but  this strategy is not very effective in winning when they have possession. I have noticed that they have drawn many matches at home. On the other hand Valencia  although they sometimes do not do well abroad, are not a weak team at all. They are quite quick on the counterattack especially when Rayo find extra pressure

For this reason I admit that Rayo may have a slight advantage at home   but marking them as clear favorites is a bit of a risk. In my opinion it will not be easy for Rayo to win this match  rather it could be a challenging match and a draw

[Rgram]

Barcelona really needs to beat Atletico Madrid if they want to keep that top spot. The truth is, they have not really won any of the big matches they’ve played this season. They lost to PSG and Chelsea in the Champions League, and they also lost to Real Madrid. So this match is important because beating Atletico would show that they are not just at the top because Real Madrid failed to win. It would prove that Barcelona actually deserves that position.

The good thing is that Raphinha and Pedri are fully back in the team, and that is a big boost. With them available, Barcelona has everything needed to go for the win. Plus, playing at home gives them an extra advantage..

[$crypto$]

If not for the penalty offense from Girona's defender, Madrid wouldn't have scored a goal to equalize the game?? See why I feel like something is lacking in the team that needs to fixed. They played all and used every kind of counter attack, lost major opportunities and couldn't make it at the end. This match would have been a clear win for Girona on a normal day.
I'm disappointed at what the club has been reduced to, and the fact that they're struggling to defeat smaller teams in their leagues, how are we expecting them to do better in the UCL? Maybe Xabi Alonso isn't just the man for job.

Many criticize Xabi Alonso's position now because the tactics used are not so beautiful to see because the Real Madrid team is making efforts to do what Xabi directs --- I know a lot of disappointment especially since they have never won, for Real Madrid's class 3 draws in their own league it is indeed a bad sign but what else can I do because there seems to be no chemistry.

Xabi Alonso strategy is not flowing along with some of his players. Whats the essence of this whole thing happening, there's heavy doubt on the manager performance and inefficiency for the club. Checking Real Madrid last La Liga games, it's been hell for Los Blancos but nothing to panic, they're are and will do everything to protect the small things and focused on the main winnings. I think Real Madrid are passing through a healing phase.

Perhaps a small squad is as problematic as a small squad. Keeping up with the rotation speed of the defensive back four is impossible.

Rudiger is no longer a player for this team. If Real Madrid continues like this, they won't be champions.
They shouldn't drop points in the Bilbao match.

With their recent consecutive poor performance I don’t think I’m considering them favorite to win the laliga this season, you can’t be champion if you drops point and Elche and Girona. My biggest problem is the the way they approach these games, like when they are away from home they just struggle to get it right. Against girona, aside Mbappe all other players were struggling on that pitch.

Their next game is against Bilbao, though I have a strong feeling they are going to win this one, they will be playing at home and a win should be very demanding from the coach and the fans. They desperately need a win now.

[Cookdata]

Then the same thing should go for when they drew against Elche? What I feel is that these lesser teams have a way of showing their importance in games that's why it's often when there's something at stake that you'd see a small team suddenly becoming impossible to beat. Girona would have won the game had they being another team because at some point Real Madrid started making mistakes that should have cost them, especially the one that Trent Arnold mistakenly served his opponent but they couldn't utilize it.

It wasn't only Elche. Real Madrid has draw against this small teams Girona<<<Elche<<< Vallecano. None of this teams are top 10 on the Laliga table and they draw Real Madrid. Xabi thinks he is special, all I do is to laugh him because he doesn't learn. Last season when Anceloti was suffering with this boys, he has just one problem and that was defenders but this season, Xabi is making it looks like the problem is the same but no, it's not defense it's the style.

How can you start Militao and Rudiger, this isn't the first time this mistake has happened, use one and bench 1, if you go to the midfield, he use Bellingham to play midfield and use Guler as wing, can you imagine the foolish tactics he played. Guler has provided more assist as midfield but he decided to place Ada at wing after substituting him with Camavinga. If Xabi use another year in Real Madrid, I will accept that he is bankrolling Perez without a doubt.

The pressure on Xabi Alonso is increasing after only managing a 1-1 draw against the weak Girona team. Now, the top of the La Liga standings has been overtaken by Barcelona. Besides the pressure from poor results, Xabi Alonso is also facing pressure from his own players due to disharmony between him and the Real Madrid players, especially a very tense relationship in the locker room with Vinicius. If the series of poor results continues, Xabi Alonso could be fired by Real Madrid management.

Hansi Flik was very happy to see most of his players back to training whom have gone injured for a while. He’s happy that he’s going face a big team like Atletico Madrid with full squad. Barcelona needs to win this match to maintain their spot in the La Liga standings. Atletico Madrid are known for given their bigger opponents a tougher time, unlike how they prepare to play against smaller teams. So this is a very tough match for Barcelona and they need to showcase their best of form to get a comfortable win in this game.

No Champions League this week so, La Liga carries on this Tuesday night. Going to be an electrifying game against Atletico Madrid who would be traveling to Camp Nou. Atletico are on a 7 match win streak which includes beating Inter 2-1. Atletico also beat their last appearance at Camp Nou where they beat Barcelona 1-2 but Barcelona did have an upper hand in their previous 2 meetings, beating Atletico both times. Who do you favor to win this time?

Atletico Madrid is a medioca team but when they are playing with big teams they tends to be more serious and eager to win and currently I have seen their wins and they have been doing well. Barcelona is not really in a good form and I don't really know about Atletico Madrid too but whatever the case maybe I don't think they can be able to win Barcelona even though Barcelona is not in a good form but the highest they can play if Barcelona doesn't win is a draw but if peradventure atletico Madrid wins they will lead the La Liga table and giving Real Madrid a chance to top if they also win theirs.

Atletico Madrid isn't a mediocre team. We shouldn't say that at all. They're a team that plays very well against teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. They also play successful matches in the UCL. Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly one of the top-quality teams in the Spanish league. Therefore, Atletico Madrid shouldn't be considered a simple team. They currently sit in fourth place and have only suffered one defeat. They could easily climb back to the top of the table.

Chelsea is always formidable when it comes to playing against Barcelona.

Even before the match I wasn’t expecting Barcelona to beat Chelsea. As you said even looking at the statistics Barcelona haven’t keep the record of beating Chelsea because they don’t have such effort in doing that. So I’m not disappointed Becaus this is something I expected to happen, however isn’t as if Chelsea is suffering from bad performance they are doing well even though they are not in their best performance, but that doesn’t give gaurantee that Barcelona will win them. We have seen matches of Chelsea and Barcelona, and Barcelona is still yet to be lucky in winning against Chelsea.

It's normal for small teams to show themselves when they play against big teams, they may relent or even be beaten easily by smaller teams but ASAP they meet big teams they try to steal the show and become a problem for big teams. Real Madrid is in a slight shaking form recently and have not yet reached themselves. They made lots of unnecessary mistakes in that match, have they been playing against a stronger team, those mistakes could've been deadly. Girona doesn't have sharp strikers that could cover chances very effectively else Real Madrid would've paid dearly for their unnecessary errors in that match.
