La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[irhact]

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.

Well, yea true... Flick did magic with this Barca squad and even with lesser amount of money, meanwhile Madrid right now is bottling their chances for title race. Nevertheless this season title race may look interesting, I genuinely curious to see how it earns. Wether Barca will maintain the top or Madrid do a come back so somewhere from no where, cause la liga this season just seem very interesting.

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?

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.

Losing against Chelsea Barcelona fans will surely be disappointed especially with Araujo's red card which resulted in an unbalanced game and a loss for Barcelona.

The match against Atletico Madrid was Matchday 19? The match was played earlier than usual, no problem with that.
Atletico Madrid currently have a good winning streak, but the advantage remains Barcelona because they play at home especially now that many players have recovered.
The odds offered by the betting market are much different, there is a possibility that Barcelona will win again to close the gap with Real Madrid.

[promise444c5]

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..

Yeah a big boost indeed but what about the defense? The problem was never the mid field although it contributed and even with the absent of Rapha , Rashford was able to fill the gap interchangeably with Fermin Lopez, rapha presence is always a+1 though. The only problem Barcelona is having now is their defense and their finishing, Lewandoski is on and off these days same with Ferran but even worse. Last season, you could tell the difference when Lewandowski was on fire, they waste so much chance now plus the defenders aren’t really something they can depend on.

Nevertheless this season title race may look interesting, I genuinely curious to see how it earns. Wether Barca will maintain the top or Madrid do a come back so somewhere from no where, cause la liga this season just seem very interesting.

Since his arrival at Barcelona, ​​Hansi Flick has focused on several things that will make the club more solid, united, and stronger, both in terms of performance and mentality. He realized that their winning mentality was less than optimal, even though their squad was actually strong. After Flick's arrival, their winning mentality has improved.

Furthermore, Flick is able to formulate and implement strategies that optimize the performance of each player. He has many strong players, but rotations are carried out very wisely and balanced, so they can still play very solidly.

However, Xabi may have done quite well at Real Madrid, but there have been frequent unnecessary rotations, excessive rotations of the starting lineup, and sometimes inappropriate player placement (due to tactics or injuries), which has meant they haven't been able to perform at their best. In fact, their performance has actually declined in recent matches.

Rayo and Valencia have drawn in their last few matches. This match is also likely to end 1-1. Rayo's form has dipped a bit in recent weeks. Valencia could leave here with a point or points. A high-scoring match is not expected. I also think there will be 2-3 goals in this match, no more. I checked the predictions from other bettors and everyone seems to agree with me on that one.

I got the score right. I said it would end 1-1 and the match ended 1-1. Rayo took the lead in the first half with a goal from Nobel Mendy, but Valencia responded in the second half with a goal from Diego Lopez. Both teams settled for 1 point. The tradition of recent years continued. These 2 teams like to draw against each other.
Neither team is particularly upset about this result. Rayo may be a little unhappy because they took the lead and then conceded a goal, but the draw was a fair result.

Real Madrid - Xabi

We can say that they have really declined with their recent performance and it is not something that looks encouraging, to me most of the times I feel very bad, because of their performance, not only because I'm a supporter, but to the fact that, my predicted games are risky too. For straight consecutive times that I have given Real Madrid a straight winning, they have disappointed me, and I even have the doubt to bet on them, even though they are playing against a smaller team, the reason is because, they are filled with surprises and this is my finances and I don't want to joke with it.

[GbitG]

I don't even think that this Barcelona team can even think of winning the Champions League with this team, obviously there are cycles in football and this one is clearly over for them, now they are coming up with new teams and this one is not really Barca

Looking at the current condition of each team, it is indeed difficult to see the potential for Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the Champions League this season. But the problem is that we never know whether they will bounce back and start improving again or not. However, for me, there is always a chance, but it will be very difficult. However, if we look at other teams like Arsenal, who are currently heavily favored in the UCL, we can't rule out the possibility that they might fail in the next round. It's also possible that Barcelona or Real Madrid could go further. It's better not to jump to conclusions. But if we start being influenced by their current condition, then drawing conclusions as you mentioned can also be understood.

Let me tell you something more big team is always scary, like anytime they can make a comeback and regain their potential. So Barcelona and Real Madrid is big team and we don't underestimate them because in past so many time they twisted their performance form poor to Champions. Such of we took the example of PSG previously they were doing such awful performance at the beginning but when it comes to end they become the Champions of Europe for the first time. So big team is always be considered for winner.....

After the Chelsea defeat Hansi Flick is seeking for better defensive tactics because the reason behind the lose in defense not a attack. Anyway let see what happens next. Do they bring improvement, or do they remain the same?

I didn't watch this match but I checked the match statistics, I have to say this is a lucky for Valencia because with only 1 shot on target they scored a goal while you know Rayo Vallecano fired 9 shots on target who should have scored more than one goal. Yeah as you said it seems like a draw will be a tradition for both teams especially Rayo who have draw in their last 3 matches. The situation is no better for Valencia as they usually lose when playing away from home and the best result is only a draw.

Real Madrid - Xabi

There are so many times, Xabi as to rotate the team which has not been helpful with the play of the team, because if we can see for ourselves most of the times, he tend to over rotate the squad, especially to the formation aspect, I only wonder if h is trying to find out the best that may work for him. But I think that is not supposed to be, because we know that this is basically a fight for the laliga title. And that is why most of the times, the team will tend to underperform. If Xabi do not find a way to resolve this issue it will definitely be a problem for the team.

Rayo Vallecano could have won if they had been stronger in their attack at the end, but I laughed at the attacks of both teams. Despite having players, they did not pass the ball, if he gave the ball to his teammate, it would definitely be a goal, but in order to gain fame, he himself kicked directly from the D-box towards the goal post and it went outside the goal post. Both teams were able to attack, that's why the game ended in a draw. Valencia team, they brought this game to a draw, it's their luck,

[ancafe]

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.

The team's condition doesn't seem to be normal at the moment because we saw Real Madrid seemed to have lost their way in the match. If Xabi Alonso is truly prioritizing Mbappé, it will create problems within the team that could affect the consistency of several players. It seems odd that Real Madrid can't get three points against a much weaker opponent, and it seems like there are problems between the players and the coach. Xabi Alonso must be able to recognize the problems that occur because if this continues then Barcelona will benefit greatly and Xabi Alonso must be able to build chemistry so that his players do not get into problems that can affect the team as a whole.

[Bobrox]

If Xabi do not find a way to resolve this issue it will definitely be a problem for the team.

Honestly, Xabi Alonso make many experiment by rotating many player every match without have pattern for starting line up and its difficulty reach consistent performance. Its not helpful yet for Madrid if want get race to win La Liga tittle after few weeks ago remaining many points from Barcelona and this week the rival team back to first position with 1 points left from Madrid. Three draw in a row showed how inconsistent performance of Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso still not find good pattern for starting line by rotating players almost every games.
Not easy fight for winning La Liga tittle after inconsistent performance and Madrid have loss points 4 of 14 matches, but remaining one point from Barcelona still has chance depend the few matches later will Madrid get three points or not? Last draw 3 matches in a row by facing the middle position teams.

[Tamaperdana]

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.

Yes, when small teams face big teams, they essentially don't have a big burden to win, so with that, they can play more calmly and well-organized. So perhaps that's what happened to weaker teams who were able to hold Real Madrid to draws in recent weeks, including most recently against Girona. However, Real Madrid's draw wasn't necessarily due to Girona's extraordinary performance rather, Real Madrid's performance itself is currently declining. Therefore, Real Madrid has really been unable to play well in recent matches. Perhaps right now, Real Madrid needs to improve all lines to be more effective. Because I see that Real Madrid's current performance is not very good in almost every line.

So that's why Real Madrid often concedes goals recently and they also can't score many goals. This is all caused by the attack line playing poorly and the defense line really always getting caught out when the opponent counterattacks. So, given this, I think Xabi's task is truly incredibly difficult right now. I see that Real Madrid doesn't have many options right now. So with that in mind, Xabi probably just needs to get his players to work together well at this point, so that everything Xabi implements can be more accurate.

In the game against Girona, Madrid made a lot of mistakes in the game, and I think Xabi Alonso made a mistake in implementing the game tactics so that the club that had been relegated could not win, and what is more convincing is that Barcelona is currently firmly in the top ranking for the temporary standings, in that match Girona did get a miracle and was able to score a goal first before Real Madrid equalized through a penalty, actually Real Madrid had a lot of opportunities but they could not finish all of them into goals and they had to be willing to share points with Girona, even though the results were not satisfactory, Real Madrid had to get up for the next match.

In fact the Real Madrid players didn't need to make this mistake, perhaps they underestimated Girona so much that they couldn't win the final score in the match. Despite fielding their best squad in that match, Xabi Alonso's style of play was certainly the same as in previous matches. However, Girona's swift resistance made it somewhat difficult for Real Madrid to score and achieve a maximum result.

With one point in that match, they have dropped a spot. Barcelona currently sits atop the standings, albeit only by one point. This means Barcelona must not let up in their consistency to maintain their position. They must maintain their performance to avoid being left behind by their eternal rivals, Real Madrid. The results of the coming week will certainly affect their position in the La Liga standings, so each team must maintain their concentration in every match they play.

Real Madrid not only has to bounce back in the next match, but they also have to hope Barcelona loses to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona will be hosting Atletico Madrid today, so Real Madrid fans should be hoping the home team loses. Furthermore, Real Madrid must win away from home tomorrow to regain their lead. These are two unpredictable situations, as Barcelona will also be looking to win at home to maintain their top spot. And until now I'm starting to wonder why Real Madrid couldn't win at Girona's home, even though it was an easy match for Real Madrid in terms of getting full points.

Barcelona does not need to close the gap with Madrid, as they are leading at the top of the standings by 1 point. Barcelona will try to win against Atletico to widen the gap with Madrid and other competitors. Including Atletico, the current top 4 in the La Liga standings are experiencing tight competition. So if Barcelona loses, it would be a significant loss and a good opportunity for their rivals.

[Razmirraz]

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.

Well, yea true... Flick did magic with this Barca squad and even with lesser amount of money, meanwhile Madrid right now is bottling their chances for title race. Nevertheless this season title race may look interesting, I genuinely curious to see how it earns. Wether Barca will maintain the top or Madrid do a come back so somewhere from no where, cause la liga this season just seem very interesting.

Hansi Flick experience is proven, and he is also very adept at developing hidden potential in young players. Even though Barcelona financial problems have not been resolved, he has been able to make Barcelona Real Madrid toughest competitor in the hunt for the championship title.

Actually, Xabi Alonso is a great coach, but his experience and playing time are still very minimal. Real Madrid has everything to improve the quality of the team, but because he changes strategies too often, it makes it difficult for players to play when placed in different positions. Three consecutive draws forced Real Madrid to surrender the top spot in the standings to Barcelona, ​​​​the next match will also not be easy for Real Madrid because Athletic Club is not an easy opponent to beat.

[Gost ms]

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.

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.

Real Madrid have been in a bad situation this whole season. They are doing well in one match and then very badly in another. I agree with what you said. If Real Madrid had made such mistakes against a strong team, Real Madrid would have lost by a huge margin. Real Madrid should change these things. If they don't change, if they make such mistakes against a big team, they could lose because of these mistakes.

[Solokan]

Last season, you could tell the difference when Lewandowski was on fire, they waste so much chance now plus the defenders aren’t really something they can depend on.

Yes, the more serious problem currently faced by Barcelona is their defense. Even though Raphinha and Pedri have returned, it is certainly not easy for Barcelona to win when they play because even though their attack is good, if their defense is still not good, it will definitely make it easier for the opposing team to score goals against Barcelona. Yes, Barcelona is also currently struggling with finishing, and this often makes it difficult for them to score goals, even though opportunities are always there, as seen in the match against Chelsea in the Champions League.

However, in the match against Alaves, I saw an improvement from Barcelona, even though they conceded one goal. I predict Barcelona will perform better in upcoming matches because I see that Flick is now starting to improve his strategic planning. Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
