La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[eightdots]

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's influence on Barcelona has been evident since his return from injury, where he has performed exceptionally. Raphinha's performance isn't just about dribbling and crossing; his intensity, determination, and quick decision-making are truly remarkable. The Pedri-Raphinha duo also had a strong Iniesta-Neymar vibe in the match against Atletico Madrid. This victory further solidified Barcelona's position at the top of the table. If Real Madrid draw or lose again against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona will further widen the points gap.

Raphinha and Pedri are honestly the soul of Barca right now. Raphinha has been their best player since last season and Pedri is a real maestro in midfield.
Raphinha especially is becoming one of my favorite players in world football.

Raphinha has a tremendous positive impact on Barcelona. Yamal can't be expected to play at a high level every match, and the other players on the team need to contribute as well. Raphinha is a key player who can contribute significantly to the team's performance. One of Raphinha's strengths is that his performance consistently exceeds a certain level. He performs at a high level in many matches, and the fact that this performance is sustained is a positive development for the team.

Raphinha's ability to improve his performance and contribute to the team is something Barcelona needs, and he can always push the team forward.

At the same time they didn't lose any of those three matches, they all ended in a draw which might be enough motivation to grab all three points today to close up the gap with Barcelona. Bilbao is an average team wherein good composure from Madrid should get them all three points without so much stress or worries. Xabi isn't doing too bad with Madrid squad the issue is their fans expectations are just unnecessarily high.

Despite that they didn't lose in the three games, we can see that as good performance from them,  considering the position they are occupying in the Spanish laliga, the league is getting tensed, Barcelona is getting closer if not very close and I don't think that is what Realmadrid needs right now, the straight 3 draws is not needed right now, they are creating space for Barcelona which not good for them, at this point xabi needs to do more, Athletico Bilbao should not be seen as a cheap team they can just grind, this is football and the business is getting more tough everyday, so madrid needs to get into this match with the zeal to win, not giving them chance to score first as they did in their last match.

[m4r1o]

It is wrong to say that the team is at the top of the points table because there is still a lot of play to do. Barcelona fans enjoyed watching Real Madrid's last match. However, Real Madrid is a team that can come out of any situation and prove that they are champions. I am hopeful that they will come back very soon.

Real Madrid is clearly in a period of significant crisis, despite everything thanks also to the players they find themselves with, they continue to push forward, but they are not running or walking, at the moment they are limping without stopping.
It depends only exclusively on them, on the entire team starting from the coach, players, massage therapists, physiotherapists all at full capacity.
Something's wrong and you can't figure out what's slowing them down.

[Lannakosa]

Yea, its very visible that they are struggling, if they keep losing they can kiss the title race good bye. Barca on the other hand is seizing every opportunity to move up the table and now they are there i can flick will want his boys to have a smooth ride to the end. If madrid dont come back to their wining ways and fast, the laliga title race may prove diffcult for them this season.

The gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is already four points, so another draw would mean Barcelona would be comfortably ahead of Real, and I think Alonso understands that this can't be allowed to happen. But for some reason, Real Madrid's attack has been deteriorating in matches against Girona or Rayo Vallecano, another goal could have changed everything. Athletic Bilbao conceded a lot against Barcelona and Dortmund, so Real Madrid could also score a few goals today at least, I hope so.

Raphinha especially is becoming one of my favorite players in world football.

Since last season, Rafinha has been Barcelona's mainstay and he has always been able to make a big contribution to the club and always dominate the match, after recovering from injury and in the match against Alaves he was able to make a big impact on the opponent even though he didn't score a goal but Barcelona is getting better at creating every opportunity, and Pedri has also been able to adapt to Barcelona's game, with the win against Alaves, Barcelona is currently in the top ranking and has shifted Real Madrid who drew against Girona.

[Chronic Gambler9]

It a big game coming up later this night, As Real Madrid will be playing away from home again, it going to be their 7th on a streak in all competitions. Well Real Madrid needs all 3 points today to keep absolute pressure on Barcelona, they have been in struggling times lately especially away from home. Let see if they can over this one again today or the struggle will still continues.

[SilverCryptoBullet]

Yea, its very visible that they are struggling, if they keep losing they can kiss the title race good bye. Barca on the other hand is seizing every opportunity to move up the table and now they are there i can flick will want his boys to have a smooth ride to the end. If madrid dont come back to their wining ways and fast, the laliga title race may prove diffcult for them this season.

When UEFA Champions League comes to knock out phase, biggest clubs in Europe will have to spend more resources for that competition and will lose focus on domestic league. It will be time for underdog in title race makes difference like Atletico Madrid and Villareal. Surely both Barcelona and Real Madrid with better resources and experience will be able to control the race better.

The gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is already four points, so another draw would mean Barcelona would be comfortably ahead of Real, and I think Alonso understands that this can't be allowed to happen. But for some reason, Real Madrid's attack has been deteriorating in matches against Girona or Rayo Vallecano, another goal could have changed everything. Athletic Bilbao conceded a lot against Barcelona and Dortmund, so Real Madrid could also score a few goals today at least, I hope so.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are like most favorite candidates for La Liga title as they are two main dominators in this league history. However they have to compete with two other clubs Atletico Madrid and Villareal as these competitors are in top four with not too big differences with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid are especially challenging as they already won two La Liga titles with Simeone as their head coach and have better ability to make surprise than Villareal.

Real Madrid have shared points in three consecutive matches. So Real Madrid has lost the table position. And is behind Barcelona by a point. And if their performance does not improve in today's match and they lose points again, it will become more difficult for the team to regain the top position in the table.

Real Madrid will play against Athletic Club. This is a strong team. Although the team's performance is irregular, it often performs well against big teams. In the last home match against Real Madrid, Athletic Club won 2-1. Today's match is also Athletic Club's home match. So the match will not be easy for Madrid.

If Real found it difficult to score in matches against Girona and Elche, then I think that the match against Athletic Bilbao will definitely not be any easier for them. Although, on the other hand, it is quite strange that Real's attack looks so uncertain. At the moment, they have no problems, their forwards are fine and they should be scoring significantly more than one goal per match. But sometimes in some matches it is harder for them to score, and then in another match they can score 2-3 goals. I think this can happen today in the match against Athletic Bilbao. I also see that yesterday odds was 1.8 on Real, and today he is already 1.7. So players believe in their victory and continue to bet on Real.

Whether Real Madrid scored a few goals or not against Athletic Bilbao, what most people care about is seeing Real Madrid having the 3 points of the match, to be a point below Barcelona. Real Madrid can't make the mistake of having a draw match today, because having three straight draw matches is not something to be proud of as a team that wants to lift the 2025/2026 LaLiga league trophy. Bilbao shouldn't deny them the whole 3 points because they have already been denied 6 points in their last 3 matches that ended in a draw.

Real Madrid are already behind and they must win their next match against Athletic Bilbao. If the match is drawn and Real lose points, it will be the reasons for them to fall more behind. If we analysis every history about both team before the match starts, Real Madrid are ahead but their recent performance shows that the match is likely to be drawn and many analysts think so. As you expect from Real Madrid, I also expect them to win by several goals because Kylian Mbappé is still doing great. He deserves a hat trick. But I am more worried about their defence.

[Volgastallion]

As always Atletico Madrid seems to have a chance to wina gainst Barcelona but ended up losing the game, is always the same with the Simeone team against Barcelona on Barcelona pitch, they have quite a good opportunitie with Almada missing a goal which can be a super goal after dribling a few defenders.

Sad for them they are again far from the top position.

[KTChampions]

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.

Yes, I'm also waiting for this, after all, they can't fail for the second season in a row with such a stellar squad. Kroos said in a recent interview that there is no more room for excuses and Real Madrid has everything to show top results and I agree with him. Real Madrid currently has an optimal/near-optimal squad thanks to recent reinforcements, all the players are healthy, and they have a new coach. They should consistently beat at least the underdogs, even with their second lineup.

[1kodumtek7]

Mbappe made a statement like this on his social before the Athletic Bilbao match ahead. Maybe the players really can't adapt to Xabi Alonso's ideas completely for real. At least the recent results show this.

But I still think Xabi Alonso isn't doing wrong with trying something new. They need some changes compared to the way they played before him. Otherwise it is harder to get better. There will be ups and downs on this road.

By the way I think they will win today and end this draw streak.

[iamsange]

Despite that they didn't lose in the three games, we can see that as good performance from them,  considering the position they are occupying in the Spanish laliga, the league is getting tensed, Barcelona is getting closer if not very close and I don't think that is what Realmadrid needs right now, the straight 3 draws is not needed right now, they are creating space for Barcelona which not good for them, at this point xabi needs to do more, Athletico Bilbao should not be seen as a cheap team they can just grind, this is football and the business is getting more tough everyday, so madrid needs to get into this match with the zeal to win, not giving them chance to score first as they did in their last match.

Barcelona's victory cemented their position at the top of the table. In my opinion, it wasn't just a victory; yesterday's match against Atletico Madrid was a true test of mentality, as both teams were experiencing contrasting fortunes. Los Cholconeros, who were capable of superior play, had to concede defeat. Meanwhile, the Blaugrana, who had major defensive problems, prevented them from performing at their best, managed to secure a crucial victory.

This certainly makes the La Liga competition even more exciting. Barcelona now has the necessary capital to continue their progress. If Flick can maintain his starting XI and motivate his players as they did yesterday, I'm even more confident they'll have a great chance of celebrating at the end of the season. Real Madrid must do something to get back to winning ways and stay close to their rivals.

Sad for them they are again far from the top position.

Barcelona are now ahead of Real Madrid after beating Atletico Madrid, Barcelona's performance in La Liga is currently very good, they are now in first position with 37 points, Barcelona is now 4 points ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid have a tendency to surpass each other every season, a few matches ago Real Madrid was ahead of Barcelona, ​​now Barcelona is ahead. Anyway, the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Club is about to start, if Real Madrid somehow draws or loses in this match, then it will be a reason for them to lag behind. If they can win this match, they will get closer to Barcelona again.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are like most favorite candidates for La Liga title as they are two main dominators in this league history. However they have to compete with two other clubs Atletico Madrid and Villareal as these competitors are in top four with not too big differences with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid are especially challenging as they already won two La Liga titles with Simeone as their head coach and have better ability to make surprise than Villareal.

Barcelona and Real madrid are the only teams in the La Liga title race until the end of the season. Teams like Villarreal and Atletico madrid have done well at the beginning of the season but have gradually fallen behind. Villarreal and Atletico Madrid have been performing well this season. And we think these  two teams will  also fight for the title. But the chances of that are slim.
Atletico madrid lost their last match against Barcelona. As a result, the team is 6 points behind barcelona. Even if Villrreal wins their next match, they will be 2 points behind barcelona. Although Villarreal is in excellent form now, it will be difficult for  them to continue their winning streak in the long run.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I'm back with another game to bet on. I'm picking Madrid's game to bet, but avoid to bet on them. The reason is clear they had very poor performances in the previous games. Getting draw three times in a row enough to make me feel so skeptical on them.
Their team is so fragile, and away game make it worst. So i think they do really need a miracle to win. that's why i pick BTTS.

Bilbao clearly stronger than their last opponents. So i think both clubs will score. To be fair, their straight bet is also offering very tempting odds, but i don't interesting with it.  

[HajiBagi]

It a big game coming up later this night, As Real Madrid will be playing away from home again, it going to be their 7th on a streak in all competitions. Well Real Madrid needs all 3 points today to keep absolute pressure on Barcelona, they have been in struggling times lately especially away from home. Let see if they can over this one again today or the struggle will still continues.

With the way things are going in Real Madrid right now, if Xabi Alonso did not win this match his job will be in danger, Real Madrid needs the three points and winning this match will keep them as a title contenders in the league, if Real Madrid get a draw against Atletic Club it will be very difficult to catch up with Barcelona because after Barcelona defeat Atletico Madrid yesterday, they are now leading Real Madrid with four points, Real Madrid players need to step up in this match.

Xabi Alonso must do everything to make sure they win this match, winning this match will make everything right after dropping points in their last three games, Real Madrid finds it difficult to win away matches and it looks like the players are very selfish, they don’t want to play as a team anymore, Alonso should start players who are ready to play for the team not players that play for their own names on the field, if Vini and Mbape can not work then one person should be bench if that will make the team win a match.

[Shineup]

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's influence on Barcelona has been evident since his return from injury, where he has performed exceptionally. Raphinha's performance isn't just about dribbling and crossing; his intensity, determination, and quick decision-making are truly remarkable. The Pedri-Raphinha duo also had a strong Iniesta-Neymar vibe in the match against Atletico Madrid. This victory further solidified Barcelona's position at the top of the table. If Real Madrid draw or lose again against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona will further widen the points gap.

Raphinha and Pedri are honestly the soul of Barca right now. Raphinha has been their best player since last season and Pedri is a real maestro in midfield.
Raphinha especially is becoming one of my favorite players in world football.

Raphinha has a tremendous positive impact on Barcelona. Yamal can't be expected to play at a high level every match, and the other players on the team need to contribute as well. Raphinha is a key player who can contribute significantly to the team's performance. One of Raphinha's strengths is that his performance consistently exceeds a certain level. He performs at a high level in many matches, and the fact that this performance is sustained is a positive development for the team.

Raphinha's ability to improve his performance and contribute to the team is something Barcelona needs, and he can always push the team forward.

Yes absolutely it's really an impact on the Barcelona team like the difference is very clear Raphinha's return has really shown his worth on the team that's more reason why I fear for Real Madrid if they can go back at the top again since they've loseguard their chances of toping the standings with enough points while Barcelona was struggling with injury players now they're back i really doubt if Real Madrid can take it back from them, and I have always been on Real Madrid side to win the Spanish LA Liga title but with my observation I think that's becoming a difficult task to them now, but I'm still believing if maybe things might change.
