La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[IceLincoln]

Lewandowski missed penalty deprived Barcelona from leading the game in the first half. However, they look smarter and aggressive with their attack. I hope that they can win this game in the second half because Atletico might come up with full pressure in the second half.

It's normal to miss a penalty kick but this isn't a match to have throw away a goal scoring opportunity that would have put the team in lead and could have reduced any pressure that Atletico Madrid would have returned with to the second half, because the 1:1 scoreline gives both sides hopes of still standing a chance of winning the game which now makes the match so intense and which also seems interesting because any side which gets the next goal will probably become the winner of course.

Even when Lewandoski  missed the penalty, I didn’t panic because the Barcelona I know will definitely win this match. They were playing at home, and they won’t allowed Athletico Madrid to come their house and win them, rather they should do everything possible to see that they win the match. Which they did, moreover Athletico Madrid is not a new team to Barcelona, I feel like this two club have known each other for long the pattern of play every season, they know. So I knew Barcelona know what to do to win the match, and they deliver the expected result.

I didn’t panic not because I knew it’s a Barcelona home match and they’re sure going to win but because I saw Pedri and Raphinha still in the game. I had bet on Barcelona win and BTTS so it was a good night.

Dani Olmo is a good player and he’s been doing well at Barcelona but somehow I still prefer Fermin Lopez but the universe makes it easier for the coach Hansi Flick, one is always injured when the other is fit.

Kudos to Ferran Torres the Shark bites again, kind of an underrated player at this barça side. He’s been a consistent Super sub, fantastic player. Once again Barcelona is sitting pretty at the top, pressure on Madrid now.

Truly the coming back of Raphinha has an immense impact on how Barcelona play they really need him in the big matches, he has a commanding effect just that the Barcelona PR or whoever doesn’t favour him. He’s the best player at Barcelona, Lamine Yamal is good very good but Raphinha is the better contributor.
Pedri and Raphinha is giving that Iniesta and Neymar effect and both are wearing same numbers with their countrymen.
Now this is back to back 3:1 winnings for  Barcelona sitting at the top. After the Madrid game we’ll know how far away they will be.

[Jostern]

Atletico Madrid started the match quickly, scoring the first goal but couldn't keep the lead. Barcelona's dominant play led to goals. I still believe Barcelona's defensive performance is poor, and unless improvements are made in their defense, they're certain to struggle even more in the coming matches.

Atletico Madrid didn't use there opportunities very well they would have won the match, when they scored the first goal I was expecting them to defend that goal very well maybe till the end of the match but they couldn't, Barcelona showed a very good performance in the match, Barcelona may end up lifting the la Liga title this season because real Madrid is not inform anymore and I think the reason for that is that they are not happy with there coach, I saw a news that the real Madrid coach has been called by the management because some players reported him for using a strategy that is not working for the team, I believe if Real Madrid change their strategy they will start performing very well and they will have more bigger chance to complete for the la Liga title.

A team that wants to win a football game doesn’t start defending in 19 minutes after just scoring a goal, the possible scenario would’ve been coming out to play the game and scoring more goals that is how they could’ve won the game, but unfortunately for them Barcelona was too strong for them, Barcelona just showed why they are more stronger than Athletico Madrid and Playing at home was also a added boost for their Performance.

There is still so many games to be played and so many things can happen from now till May when titles are won, injuries are there, and also playing the Champions League will have an effect on the Tittle race, well I believe Real Madrid would know what they are playing for, so the title race is going to be an interesting one, the table is a close one so right now you might not be possibly sure who will win the Spanish Title.

[AprilioMP]

The last three consecutive away matches that Real Madrid have played this season in La Liga have never won. The three of them only got a draw which meant that Real Madrid's position in the standings was no longer at the top.
Their rival Barcelona took over their position in the standings, including Barcelona's victory over Atletico Madrid, meaning Real Madrid had to win their away match against Bilbao.

If Real Madrid in the away match also experiences a winless result, then Real Madrid must accept a difference of 3 points - if the result is a draw. Real Madrid will also record 4 consecutive away games without a win in La Liga.

[Velvet78]

And Barcelona don't leave room for mistakes... I thought they would win by 2-1 and it was so close for me to predicting the exact score as well.   

Barcelona were in full control in the first half. Atletico Madrid were lucky not to concede more than 1 goal in that half. Even a 1-1 score at halftime was an extra for them considering their rare attacks.

But the second half was much more different. It was more balanced. Still it didn't prevent Atletico Madrid from losing by 3-1...

Real Madrid appears to be under unusual pressure in La Liga, as they have struggled to win in their last three matches. In today's match, Real Madrid must win to maintain their points gap with Barcelona. As mentioned, if Real Madrid draws again, it will be difficult for them to return to first place this season, although there are still many matches in which they can capitalize. Bilbao is a pretty strong opponent so today's match for Real Madrid will really not be easy even though Real Madrid must try to get three points at the opponent's home.

I laughed in this match when Lewandowski took the penalty kick, I don't understand how he hit the ball so high. Maybe he was scared and kicked the ball with extra pressure towards the goalpost. But later in this match Barcelona team became more aggressive, Barcelona was not supposed to win this match by a large margin. I predicted that Barcelona team would win but by a small margin, but Atletico Madrid team performed this match with enough competition but in the end could not survive in the competition.

[m4r1o]

Barcelona won the tough match between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona and currently leads Real Madrid by four points. Today's other match will pit Atlético Madrid against Real Madrid. We know Real Madrid isn't very good away from home, and they've been dropping points against significantly weaker teams recently. They'll be playing another away match, and if they drop points there, they'll fall far behind Barcelona in the title race.

Real Madrid have been playing as a mediocre team recently, that's good for Barcelona who continue to maintain their league position.
4 points isn't a lot, but if Real Madrid can't have an aggressive mode and create pressure on the pitch to win i don't think they have much hope of reaching Barcelona even if it's only 4 points.

They were capable of scoring early, but they weren't prepared to defend their lead and withstand every attack launched by Barcelona. As a result, Barcelona equalized seven minutes after Atletico Madrid's goal.

They defended well, but Barcelona's attack was intense, and they eventually scored two more goals in the second half, resulting in a defeat. The result was predictable, and Barcelona lived up to the trust placed in them.

Barcelona's current concentration certainly allows them to achieve maximum results in almost every match. This was also true in the match against Atletico Madrid, where they fell behind early, but they were free to equalize with a goal scored by Raphinha after receiving an assist from Pedri.

From their current composition, all lines are playing well, especially with this victory, of course their points gap with Real Madrid will be even further even though currently they have played one more time, of course this indicates that in the Real Madrid match when visiting Athletic Club's headquarters, if the match ends in a draw, it will certainly be a blow for them because currently they really need points to keep the distance with Barcelona so tonight will be a very crucial match for Real Madrid.

[pewboy]

It's a bold assumption to expect Real Madrid to drop points again. Athletic Club has been very weak this season, with six defeats already. Real Madrid will be extremely motivated in this game.
As for the Barcelona-Atlético game, despite Atlético's excellent streak, there's no intrigue expected here. No matter how well they play, they always give points to Barcelona (while taking points from Real Madrid or at least causing them a lot of problems). I think a multiple bet on a victory of Real Madrid and Barcelona looks profitable.

I think they will recover soon and will do everything to try to get points and get back up in the standings. It's their challenge and they will take it very seriously, that's for sure and i am convinced that they can do whatever they want, they are still Real Madrid.

[Jossque]

Barcelona played an important match at home against Atlético Madrid. In what could be a decisive match for the league, Barcelona took advantage of playing at home and won 3-1, maintaining their lead. If Atlético Madrid had won this match, they would have had the chance to take the lead with a game in hand, but they failed to do so. Although Atletico Madrid scored the first goal, the first half ended 1-1. It should be noted that Lewandowski missed a penalty in the first half. Barcelona increased the pressure in the second half and won the match with goals from Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, suffered a defeat for the first time in a long while.

Truly the coming back of Raphinha has an immense impact on how Barcelona play they really need him in the big matches, he has a commanding effect just that the Barcelona PR or whoever doesn?t favour him. He?s the best player at Barcelona, Lamine Yamal is good very good but Raphinha is the better contributor.
Pedri and Raphinha is giving that Iniesta and Neymar effect and both are wearing same numbers with their countrymen.
Now this is back to back 3:1 winnings for  Barcelona sitting at the top. After the Madrid game we?ll know how far away they will be.

Raphinha is a very good player, but he is not the only driving link in the team.
Barcelona have very respectable players, they have a team that could do even more than what they are doing, no one can say otherwise.
The only flaw that they can't exploit these talents to their full potential, they would dominate practically everything, at least for this season.
Instead they play like they have bottlenecks.

Real Madrid's performance in 3 consecutive matches has not been pleasant, but they have tried hard to win every match. They were fortunate to avoid defeat, but three draws have clearly put Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table. People underestimate Barcelona when they are a few points behind Real Madrid, but they forget that Real Madrid can also experience it and make them fall behind Barcelona.

The win over Atletico Madrid confirmed that Barcelona are serious about La Liga and want to defend their title, but the league is still long and anything can change. After this, Barcelona will return to focus on their next match against Real Betis, while Real Madrid will face Bilbao.

[POPOLUV]

The last three matches in the Spanish League Real Madrid have draw in a straight, apart from winning in the UEFA champions League, so I'm still Sense of they break the chain or sprite of draw in to match  Ath Bilbao, i know that it is not that very easy to win a particular match but I'm seeing the possibility of Real Madrid  winning Ath Bilbao today from two goals up because if Real Madrid can't be victorious today and Villarreal get the opportunity of winning their own match, that means Real Madrid will come down to third position in the league table, because right now Real Madrid is using one point to pass Villarreal , at such Real Madrid deserve winning today.

Real Madrid current state, it's hard to expect them to come away with a satisfactory three points. Barcelona are back in control at the top of the table thanks to teamwork and that's something Real Madrid don't have at the moment.

It's up to Xabi and his players to create dangerous play, rather than the incoherent passing game that often wastes time and loses focus on scoring goals.

Today's match for Real against Athletic Bilbao will be very important, because Barcelona managed to beat Athletico yesterday and now leads Real by 4 points. It is very important for Real to win, because even with a victory they would still be 1 point behind Barcelona, and right now it is crucial not to let Barcelona pull away, because later it will be even harder to catch up. Real have many away matches, and it is noticeable that they play slightly worse away and have been unable to win many away games. Athletic Bilbao is not an easy opponent, but they can be beaten, and it is very important for Real to do that today.

[banana33]

Atletico Madrid need to win this game to sit second in the meantime. Second half has started, lets see what it will unfold.

Yes, exactly, they should pay much more attention to detail. Missing a practically certain goal is a very serious thing that leads to many problems later on. However, let's say that Barcelona performed very well and were able to win and at end, win!

Right now, I don't know what to expect from this championship.

exactly, it's a crucial match for Real Madrid for this very reason. In my opinion, they will give their all and win. They can't afford the luxury of losing or drawing, they know that too.
I like that they chase and surpass each other, at least they make the league exciting, otherwise it would be boring

[cande86]

Before the match, I thought that Barca match against Atlético Madrid might not be easy because Atlético has been performing well in recent matches and is in 4th place in the table with consecutive wins. But Hansi Flick players made the job easy and made Atlético Madrid's defense busy with one attack after another. Despite leading by 1 goal in the 19th minute of the match, Atlético Madrid players could not attack Barcelona strongly in the next periods. With this win, Barca increased their lead over Real Madrid on points. Real Madrid recent performance has left them looking unlikely to win their next match against Atlético Madrid and they are facing a challenging situation in this tournament.

Barcelona are having a good season and being first they can really become champions obviously if they try harder than Real Madrid, everyone is seeing this, Real Madrid are now in a bit more difficulty, but not too much, i would say that this is something that can definitely be improved.

A hattrick of consecutive away draws saw Real Madrid cede top spot to Barcelona. Now 4 points behind Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid need a win at Athletic Club to close the gap back to 1 point. If we look at the previous three matches, Real Madrid was only able to score three goals and conceded three times against weaker teams. Now facing Athletic Club, which is much stronger than Rayo, Elche, and Girona, Real Madrid must be careful in this match because winning at San Mames will not be easy.
