La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Barikui1]

This victory against Athletic Bilbao certainly keeps Real Madrid in the race with Barcelona, ​​although the Blaugrana currently hold the top spot in the standings. However, if Real Madrid's performance remains consistent, it is not impossible that they will return to the top of La Liga. Had the dispute not occurred before the match against Girona, they would still be at the top of the standings.

The biggest problem of real Madrid this season is consistency, not that they are not good or that they don't have what it takes to win this title this season, but they are just too inconsistent to give in a real fight for the title, so this their latest win against atletico Bilbao stands as a massive moral burster that may spur the team  into a run of ten to fifteen victories in a row if they are really focus and want to claim back the title this season, but right now the league title race is just too early to look into everything with much seriousness, because so many things can easily goes wrong in a very short period of time, so let's just give them more time, once the reverse fixtures have started, everything will be much clearer to see then.

The biggest problem of real Madrid this season is consistency, not that they are not good or that they don't have what it takes to win this title this season, but they are just too inconsistent to give in a real fight for the title,

Expectations for Xabi are sometimes too high, making us unaware of the situation. Remember, Xabi has only joined Madrid for about 6 months. But we want good, flawless play. Perhaps his achievements with Leverkusen made everyone have very high expectations. So we don't realize that Xabi is also human and needs time to shape Madrid according to his character. Right now, I think Xabi is still in the adjustment phase. Madrid seems to have already changed some playing patterns, and that's visible, although we can see the results are not yet perfect. I know how difficult it is to manage so many star players, and I am still patient for the next 1-2 years, wanting to see Xabi remain with Madrid.

I really liked Mbappe's first goal, he scored perhaps one of his best goals in a Real Madrid jersey. Cortouis' saves were also excellent, and thanks to his saves, Real Madrid kept a clean sheet. The buildup to the second goal and Mbappe's passing were superb almost every touch from Mbappe in this match was instrumental.

Mbappe had an outstanding match, scoring two goals and one assist.

Real Madrid back to victory performance after being draw three matches in a row and defeated Athletic Bilbao make gap 1 points behind Barcelona already won last match from Atletico Madrid. Kylian Mbappe back for scoring goal and last nigh success scoring two goals against Ahtletic Bilbao make him scored 16 goals of 15 matches in La Liga, its was amazing with the first goals of Mbappe but I think the second goals so beautiful he scored out side penalty box, overall Mbappe not only scoring two goals last night but also he made one assists for Camavinga's goal.
When Madrid leading 1-0, Cortouis make crucial save and this match success clean sheet after conceded three goals in Champion League against Olympiacos, three points make Madrid's team has more confidence for next match after several bad result holding draw three matches in a row.

I never expected Real Madrid to perform like this because previously they were only able to draw against weaker teams. All players played as expected, not a single mistake was made by the players so they managed to end the match with a clean sheet. In my opinion, this was one of Real Madrid biggest wins, every player played a crucial role in the victory they just achieved. Alonso has also started to make some changes to his squad, if only he had found a formula like this sooner, perhaps Real Madrid would not have dropped so many points in the previous match.

I was so surprised when Real Madrid easily won against Athletic Bilbao because I never expected Real Madrid to win against Athletic Bilbao after they failed to win against Elche and Girona. I believe it was Barcelona winning against Atletico Madrid that motivated Real Madrid players to play as expected and win against Athletic Bilbao. You shouldn't blame Xabi Alonso for not using the tactics he used against Athletic Bilbao because he might be trying different tactics to know the one that will perfectly suit Real Madrid.

Expecting too much sometimes will end up disappointing, so we can not even take any chances at this point because you can not be too sure about a lot of things, and the duration he has stayed in Real Madrid is enough for him to have improved the performance of the club.  And so 6 months is not enough for Xabi to put things in order in Real Madrid, I'm sure he knows the kind of management his working for, if they get tired of him the next thing he will be reciving will be sack letter and to me it is worth it because for how long madrid have not been the madrid we use to know.

We know that Xabi is human, but he knows his responsibility, and he accepted the job because he feels he can be able to manage it, and if is not doing better, then the management has every right to sack him, because he finds it hard to manage does players, and i know very soon they will let Xabi go for sure because is management of the club is just to poor.

That's part of the possibility that Barcelona could again perform this season if their closest rivals don't perform better in the second half. I also see Barcelona's team composition starting to improve, including Lewandowski, as he contributed more to Barcelona last season and also this season when Barcelona's attack has begun to stagnate. Now Barcelona just needs to be more consistent in La Liga and also improve in the Champions League with the reliable players they currently have because so far Barcelona's performance in the Champions League has still looked inconsistent in terms of winning matches.

Competition in La Liga continues to increase, but Barcelona itself has seen much more significant improvement so far, and Lewandowski's presence may provide better competition in the attacking line, giving Barcelona many options to utilize the potential of its existing players. Currently, Barcelona is at the top of the standings, and although not by much over Real Madrid, at least they have managed to overtake them. Barcelona must be able to maintain this consistency if they want to remain at the top of the standings, because a one-point gap over Real Madrid is not necessarily secure, as a draw in the next match and Real Madrid winning could change the standings again.

Real Madrid have started to change their position. They have been going through a lot of ups and downs for the past few days. Many times they have drawn against very small teams. Seeing such results, every Real Madrid fan is very disappointed. No one ever imagined that Real Madrid's position would be like this. However, now Real Madrid's position is gradually improving and they are trying to control the things that were wrong in their team. Real Madrid has played very well in the last few matches and their improvement is gradually showing.

[banana33]

For this season, if we are talking about the number of goals, Mbappé is even higher. Haaland's total goals in the Premier League and Champions League are 20, while Mbappe's total goals in La Liga and the Champions League are 25.

Yes, we can say that Mbappe is a diesel engine, he needs to warm up to give his best.
In fact, now that we can say he is at ease both in the team and in the place where he evidently lives, it is clear that he is better and therefore he is able to easily give his best or maximum

This win for Real Madrid came as a surprise to many but they won very easily. I think lot of fan thought they would draw with Athletic Bilbao. Before placing my bet I had watched at online predictions about the match results, where they showed a high probability of a draw in this match. Those predictions are made considering a team past analysis and current performance. The draw with Girona made it likely that most fans would not be able to perform well against Athletic Bilbao. Many are skeptical about Real Madrid performance because they have a problem with consistency. Despite having great players losing against underdog team sets a bad example for the team which raises doubts about Real Madrid victory.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid won much easier than I thought. Mbappe was beyond amazing man... He scored very lovely extra goals. One of his goals even had 0.11 xGOT.    This win would be some good morale for the team.

Xabi likely considered Arda inconsistent performance in recent matches. I've personally noticed that he had some performance issues.
What surprised me was why Valverde was placed in Arda position, when it was clear that Endrick (who hadn't played at all) and Rodrygo, or even Brahim Diaz, could have dominated that position. Perhaps this is the answer: Rodrygo really needs to go soon.
Looking at the current lineup, I'm a little skeptical about Madrid.

I don't agree with Endrick. He isn't even a winger and he is completely out of form because of not playing at all. But Rodrygo or Díaz would both be better alternatives for the right wing.

I know Valverde is like a joker for Xabi Alonso but he is more effective as a CM which is his natural position. Now Trent is out for 2 months due to a new injury, probably we will see Valverde playing as RB this time.

Competition in La Liga continues to increase, but Barcelona itself has seen much more significant improvement so far, and Lewandowski's presence may provide better competition in the attacking line, giving Barcelona many options to utilize the potential of its existing players.

Barcelona must be able to maintain this consistency if they want to remain at the top of the standings, because a one-point gap over Real Madrid is not necessarily secure, as a draw in the next match and Real Madrid winning could change the standings again.

Since the beginning of the season, most  of the important players in Barcelona's main squad have been out of the squad due to injuries. Most of the players have returned to the squad after recovering from injuries. So naturally we can see a significant change in barcelona's performance.

The La liga title race has become intense. In addition to Real madrid and barcelona, ​​Villarreal and Atletico madrid are fighting for the title. Both of these teams have been performing  very well. Villarreal has been undefeated for a long time. If they win their next match, they will be only 1 point behind madrid.

Barcelona took over the top of the table, and they are now 1 point ahead of Real Madrid, but in week 16, Barcelona will face Real Betis, and I think this will be a tough fight, as Real Betis has the advantage of playing at home, so it is likely that Betis will play quite aggressively. Barcelona might not play all in because they also have to pay attention to the match in the Champions League, because currently Barcelona does look quite struggling, so they need a win to keep their hopes alive in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will play against Celta Vigo, and this will be a home match for Real Madrid and I think this could be a good opportunity to change the position in the standings. The competition is getting tighter, and I can't wait to see whether Barcelona will stay at the top or whether Real Madrid can reclaim that position.

I know how difficult it is to manage so many star players, and I am still patient for the next 1-2 years, wanting to see Xabi remain with Madrid.

Xabi Alonso tenure at Real Madrid hasn't even reached a year, and I even thought that placing high expectations on him would only put more pressure on him. Maybe he needs time to develop Real Madrid like he did at Leverkusen, I also believe in Xabi ability to do the best for Real Madrid, especially now that they have so many star players who have above average abilities. At least the management and fans must be patient, the adjustment process is not easy, but the results will be very satisfying, after all I just saw one of Real Madrid's best games this season when they managed to beat Athletic Club.

[m4r1o]

Probably real madrid can get the chance to win there next match against Celta Vigo if they used same pattern they used against  Athletic Bilbao, but I get more hope that madrid will definitely achieve three point against Celta Vigo because they are playing at home and won't like to lose any point because they are chasing the league currently with Barcelona, and Hansi Flick is facing a tough club in the league i think last season Barcelona end draw against Real Betis and this season is new let see what Barcelona will perform this weekend against Real Betis. The game won't be easy for Barcelona to achieve three point because they are playing away and Barcelona always struggle in the league when they are playing away. Let see how the game will ended but Real Betis will perform well and end the game in a draw oeget three point against Barcelona.

In my opinion, they can win with peace of mind. Celta Vigo is very low in the table, which means they are very weak compared to Real Madrid, who have a betting odds of 1.28.
While for Celta Vigo 9.50! Crazy!

I'd say he's doing well. And Real Madrid can do this

Real Madrid needs this win and it's a home game for them, so I think they should beat Celta. The only thing to keep in mind is that they have a Champions League match against City on Wednesday, and Alonso might give some players a rest. But in any case, this is an important match for Real Madrid, and they need to win it. Barcelona will play Betis, a somewhat unpredictable opponent, but we understand that Barcelona must beat such an opponent.

Well what you say about Madrid and Xabi Alonso might be true on one part and the other part might be cause of Madrid’s reputation and pedigree. For a team like Madrid, Barcelona, Man City, Bayern Munich, Inter etc mediocre is not acceptable. Fans and Management always want to see the best each time, even the media will blast you if there’s a little fall below normal, so it is and even if they’re still playing good all those small hiccups will affect them cos they’re in a race against Barcelona (the same is also expected of Barcelona).

It's no coincidence that we're talking about Real Madrid, we're not talking about a small team.
We always remember that Real Madrid is the European team that has won more Champions Leagues than any other team, there must be a reason.
His strength lies in his champion mentality.

You shouldn't blame Xabi Alonso for not using the tactics he used against Athletic Bilbao because he might be trying different tactics to know the one that will perfectly suit Real Madrid.

I think instead that it was something that was necessary, it was a show of strength that was necessary for these guys who actually set out to demonstrate to everyone that they can be the best, obviously this is due to the fact that this performance was certainly requested of them.

[len01]

The only thing to keep in mind is that they have a Champions League match against City on Wednesday, and Alonso might give some players a rest. But in any case, this is an important match for Real Madrid, and they need to win it.

There’s no doubt that Madrid already had the win guaranteed even before the match started. I’m just stating the fact that every time these two teams meet, Madrid always wins easily and Celta always struggles against them. Even if Alonso decides to field young players and rest the main squad for the UCL, the talent level of Madrid’s youngsters is still more than enough, and they should have no problem securing the 3 points.

Barcelona will play Betis, a somewhat unpredictable opponent, but we understand that Barcelona must beat such an opponent.

Real Betis could potentially be beaten by Barcelona if Betis were playing away. Unfortunately, this would be a somewhat tough task for Hansi, as Betis can boast a solid defense at home. So, if Barcelona hopes to win this match, perhaps the best course of action is simply to keep the pressure on the Betis defense.

[giorgione]

Mbappe is already a good performer, we saw good performances from him when he was at PSG, and when he played for France, he performed well, and now he is playing for Real Madrid and we are still seeing the best performances from him. After coming to Real Madrid, it has become easier for him to score goals because Real Madrid has several experienced and skilled players to help him.

Mbappe is a player who is currently in top form and is showing it to everyone, right now he is the backbone of Real Madrid together with other players clearly because football is a team sport, right now these guys are motivated to be reborn thanks also to Mbappe's plays
