La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[ndutndut]

When Real Madrid can defend well it's almost guaranteed that they will win.
Mbappe did excellently getting to beautiful goals, I specially loved the first more. This the Real Madrid we want to see in every La Liga game, defending to get a clean sheet and making good used of most goal opportunity, even if it seems difficult.

It is how Real Madrid have been performing that makes us surprise whenever they perform very well, looking at the squad depth of Madrid, they should be performing exceptionally well in the league. Madrid have quality players right from defense down to attack, if only they will remain consistent, Barcelona will be the only headache for them, every other team are supposed to be additional points for them.

Time will tell for Madrid, just a point below Barcelona, Madrid will definitely take back the first position.

I'm not surprised by Real Madrid's current performance, especially after three consecutive draws and a convincing victory over Bilbao in their last match. Coaching Real Madrid isn't easy, especially since this is Xabi Alanso's first season at Real Madrid.

Xabi Alanso also came to Real Madrid with a different philosophy than the previous coach. Xabi's strategy, which emphasizes possession and building attacks with a system, differs from Ancelotti's philosophy of giving players freedom. So this adjustment will certainly take time and adaptation, even though as you said, Real Madrid has a good squad. However with the egos of each player, Xabi will certainly need to adapt to ensure everyone can achieve chemistry.

It's quite difficult to predict who will win the La Liga title this season, as both Barcelona and Real Madrid are nearly evenly matched and have the competitive form to compete for the title.
So, this will be a thrilling title battle between these two giants. On the one hand, Barcelona wants to prove they can defend their title, but Real Madrid wants to show that under Xabi Alonso's leadership, they have recovered and are capable of competing this season.
And only the one who can perform consistently can win this competition and claim the La Liga title this season. So, both teams must ensure they maintain their performance and focus, and avoid even the slightest mistakes, or else one of them will lose their chance to win the title.

I honestly think Barcelona have a slight edge right now. Not because I’m a Barca fan, but because when you look at their situation, they actually dropped from the top mainly due to injuries to key players. Now that those important players are back, they have climbed up again, and I don’t see Real Madrid finding it easy to push them off.

Beating Atletico Madrid also gives Barcelona a big boost. That’s the same team that handed Real Madrid their first loss of the season, so it shows how strong that win was. If Barcelona keep this level and avoid unnecessary draws and defeats I feel they’re in a better position to stay on top. It’s still a tough race though, but for me, Barcelona look slightly more solid at the moment.

Xabi Alonso came to Madrid adopted difference tactical with current manager Carlo Ancelotti not priority ball possession but Alonso so far make well for several matches although have draw last three matches in a row. Its normally every manager have their own tactical regarding can perform well its not problem however Real Madrid's player can adapting well with Xabi Alonso's tactician. Alonso need to build good chemistry with their players exactly he made huge rotation than last season by several main player have put at the bench, each week Alonso always make difference starting line up team composition.

After victory against Athletic Bilbao next match Madrid will face Celta Vigo, its important match although Madrid have make several rotation for Champion League match few days later against Manchester City.

It's quite difficult to predict who will win the La Liga title this season, as both Barcelona and Real Madrid are nearly evenly matched and have the competitive form to compete for the title.

To be honest, both team [Barca & Realmadrid] doesn’t deserve to  be laliga champions this season with their performance  so far this season, although it’s not too bad. They just don’t have that much of good contender because by now both of them should be at least 3~4 positions down on the table. Villarreal looks promising but then I don’t think they can withstand the pressure of the season ending. We are currently in mid , we should still see some drag next year but it will still be between the two Spain Giants

Exactly what I have been saying, with the rate at which both teams have drop points this season I don’t think they should still be sitting top 2 in the league. Barcelona have look more like a shadow of themselves This season, we all know how dominant they were last season but it unlike it this season. Madrid also have been very poor this season too especially away from Home, with how they started the season who would have believed they would be second by this time trailing by a point to Barcelona.

I don’t want to even discuss villareal and Atletico Madrid, if not by the way the 2 Spanish giant have been sloppy this season one of them should have been up their. It another week of Spanish game let see it we will see a different face in the league table or it will still be Barcelona.

[Luzin]

But I'm confident that they will win the upcoming match against Celta Vigo, where their head-to-head record and even Madrid's position as home advantage make me even more certain of Real Madrid's dominance over Celta Vigo. So I personally prefer to choose Real Madrid as the winner for this match.

Thinking like that is logical and I also think Madrid will win easily. A strong reason is that Madrid players are on a much higher level than Celta Vigo. Real Madrid will be playing at home. So Celta Vigo would need a miracle and their chances of winning are 10%. LOL. But right now I hear a lot about Vinicius' comments regarding Xabi and Vinicius. There are some rumors that Madrid has a bigger project with Xabi, so he is the boss and the players have to be able to adapt to what Xabi does. There are rumors that Vinicius doesn't like this and Real Madrid will be ready to let him go.

[Yabani]

The main reason for Real Madrid's ups and downs this season is already clear: one day the team plays like aliens, the next day they wander around the field as if they've been playing PlayStation all night.
Barcelona isn't exactly flying high either. There's only a one-point difference between them. If Madrid maintains this form for a few weeks in a row, it wouldn't be surprising to see them take the lead. But it wouldn't surprise anyone if the same Madrid went and lost points again in a ridiculous match.

The problem of real Madrid this season is consistency, and just as you have said already, today they might put in a top class performance and tomorrow they plays as if they are not training together, not that they are bad, and that is what xabi Alonso needs to address in this real Madrid team because for them to compete with Barcelona and in the uefa champions League, consistency is very much important, if not they might not actually realize their potential on the longer run or they might not be able to win a single trophy at the end of the Season, so consistency is what they needs to show right now, since it's what has been their problem all season.

This is the sole reason why I will always prefer Premier League over La Liga and others. Premier League is more competitive and less predictable than Laliga and it is what makes it more interesting to watch. If both Madrid and Barcelona were to be in the Premier league right now, they are either jingered to perform better than they are doing currently or to step down of the top three of the table standing because with this I can guarantee at least Arsenal and Chelsea will be leading over them now if they had fall in same table but the competition in laliga is not as tough. Girona which were showing capacity sometimes last two seasons are on their way to relegation this season, Atletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid are also not mounting pressure. Villarreal which is leading third after Barca and Real Madrid does not seem to pose much danger and such is the league pattern. The likes of Manchester City would have also be giving them headache even at this if they were to belong to the same place but this is football for you, well structured and organized for everyone to play with their league mates.

La Liga round 15 has just kicked off with a draw between Oviedo vs Mallorca. There will be several exciting matches to watch, where several teams will battle it out for full points. But I personally think that Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo match is the most interesting to watch and even to bet on. Real Madrid has had many consecutive wins against Celta Vigo in several head-to-head matches. And we know that Celta Vigo's performance lately has not been very good. Real Madrid has also experienced a slight decline in performance due to several factors including the injuries of several players. But I'm confident that they will win the upcoming match against Celta Vigo, where their head-to-head record and even Madrid's position as home advantage make me even more certain of Real Madrid's dominance over Celta Vigo. So I personally prefer to choose Real Madrid as the winner for this match. And I won't miss a single second of this match. Betis vs Barcelona is also interesting. But I doubt Barcelona's performance based on their last h2h meeting against Betis.

Real Madrid is going to win to still keep the close gap between them are Barcelona, Real Madrid position in the Laliga table will motivate them to play well and win Celta Vigo they already has a better h2h in their previous meeting i will also have Real Madrid to win when picking games to gamble on and i also believe that Kylian Mbappe will score for them.

Barcelona game against Real Betis will also be an interesting game but i don't see Barcelona losing either i also believe that Barcelona will also win their game against Betis.

I have no doubt about Barcelona winning today match against Real Betis and I will bet on the stronger and favourite team. I don't understand why you doubt Barca's victory. They are ahead in every statistic and they are currently at the top of La Liga. The team has recovered from the injury problems in the team and most of the players are in great form. They won the match against Bilbao by a huge margin and they will win today's match as well.
The match against Celta Vigo will be another challenging one for Real Madrid because if Barcelona gets 3 points in today's match, they will have 40 points and 4 more than Real Madrid. They will have to win the next match against Celta Vigo to reduce the gap. The tournament is getting more exciting with time and it may become more difficult for Real Madrid to maintain their form.

Xabi Alonso came to Madrid adopted difference tactical with current manager Carlo Ancelotti not priority ball possession but Alonso so far make well for several matches although have draw last three matches in a row. Its normally every manager have their own tactical regarding can perform well its not problem however Real Madrid's player can adapting well with Xabi Alonso's tactician. Alonso need to build good chemistry with their players exactly he made huge rotation than last season by several main player have put at the bench, each week Alonso always make difference starting line up team composition.

Xabi Alonso has a young head coach and has limited time with Real Madrid since the summer and even this young coach does not satisfy Real Madrid fans and many people, I don't consider he is a bad coach. After 15 league matches, Real Madrid stand behind Barcelona with only one point less and this means they are at a good rank and also good situation in the title race directly with Barcelona.

To win the title against strong Barcelona, Real Madrid need to perform better with contributions from Xabi Alonso as a head coach with responsibility for tactic and player choices to players with their performances in matches. With quality they have, I believe that Xabi Alsono and Real Madrid will create enough big challenge against Barcelona in about remaining half of season.

[Jossque]

Real Oviedo failed to win against Mallorca at home. In the opening match of the week, despite both teams needing points, they struggled to score. Both teams had to settle for one point from the match. Oviedo received two red cards in the match, but as both players were sent off in the final minutes, it will only be significant for the next match. Oviedo had more possession as the home side, but it must be said that Mallorca had the clearer chances. Oviedo extended their winless streak to eight matches with another draw.

I see the same thing as you. Sometimes their squad performs exceptionally well, as if it's almost impossible for them to lose, and it's not uncommon for us to think that this season's trophy will definitely go to Real Madrid. However, something surprising happens in the next game. Their squad seems to lose direction, as can be seen in the previous three games against Girona, Elche, and Rayo, which ended in draws. yet if we look deeper, Real Madrid's chances of winning were much greater. This is very confusing, as if they were just playing around. On the other hand, Barcelona took advantage of this opportunity to gain more points. They didn't want to waste a single opportunity and had to get 3 points in every game.

Xabi Alonso has a huge burden to bear, as he must win titles, Otherwise he'll likely be fired by Real Madrid management and that's just the way Real Madrid is.

Xabi Alonso is a young, inexperienced coach although he does possess excellent coaching skills and we've already seen the evidence.

And the rivalry with Barcelona will undoubtedly remain fierce, These two teams consistently exhibit fierce competition every season and the same is true this season. We never know who will win this competition, as the odds are quite even for both teams.

[Velvet78]

Today there is one of tough fixtures for Barcelona. They are playing away against Betis. 1.77 given for Barcelona win by the way. Bookmakers also don't expect a very easy game at all. Betis are currently at the 5th position in the standings.

However their head-to-head history for the recent years is horrible for Betis. They won only once and lost so many times. While Barcelona are having one of their very productive times, their win can still be given a chance here. At least I wouldn't regret for such a risk.

What happened to Real Madrid was truly surprising, even though they had a chance to remain firmly at the top of the standings. However they seemed to squander that opportunity by suffering three consecutive draws against Elche, Girona, and Rayo. Losing six points in three matches is certainly something Real Madrid shouldn't have had with the squad they had.

But that's football sometimes the best squad doesn't guarantee points won't be dropped. Furthermore Real Madrid is experiencing some internal issues, particularly with the clash between Vini and Alanso after the El Clasico. Fortunately the problems seem to have eased somewhat, as evidenced by their victory over Bilboa a few days ago.

Real Madrid currently sits just one point behind Barcelona. This is certainly not a safe distance for Barcelona, ​​especially as their next match will be against a tough opponent Real Betis. This won't be an easy match for Barcelona ​​especially as Real Betis often makes it difficult for them to win. Barcelona must concentrate fully when facing Betis because one fatal mistake will make them lose points.

If Real Madrid dropped points at home against Celta Vigo, it could be an indication that Real Madrid are in trouble, which could impact their performance in future matches. I also hope Real Madrid continues to improve and achieve exceptional performances in every match, but if they continue to be inconsistent in these crucial matches, it means Real Madrid haven't made any improvements this season. Because a team like Barcelona's poor form this season is due to several key players being injured, while Real Madrid's situation is somewhat different from Barcelona's, despite also having injured players.

One point difference sounds nothing. Don't you aware how it went from Barcelona was below Madrid with 4 points difference to the lead the league with one point difference? So this clearly explain how Madrid's up and down performance is really worrying me.

Based on my analyzation. The thing that makes Madrid so unstable is that how Xabi keeps experimenting especially with his midfielders. He continuously changing the midfield pairs. It's creating unstability in the squad.

When he played Cama and Thchouameni together as pivot combined with Bellingham as CAM It's working. However, if he plays Arga together with Bellingham, it's rarely worked. Only hope Xabi to never pair Arda with Bellingham. That's the key.

I don't see any improvement in Real Madrid this season. On the contrary, they are doing worse than last season. The reason for their poor performance last season was that their key players were injured. But this season, despite their key players being in the team, they are not able to consistently score points. We all know the reason for Barcelona's poor performance this season and the reason is certainly reasonable. But in the case of Real Madrid, pointing to injured players is nothing but an excuse. Because their key players are not injured, they are failing to be consistent even with a full-strength team.

Real Madrid will fight against Celta Vigo at home. The quality of the players and the home advantage point to a victory for Real Madrid. If Real Madrid loses any points in this match too, it is not a good sign at all for Real Madrid.

Playing at home and facing a team that's not much better than them, they should be able to secure an easy win in this match. But if they fail to win, then they're in trouble. I've seen a lack of consistency from Real Madrid this season.

This is Xabi's first season, so he hasn't yet found the best strategy for himself. While he should have plenty of time, there are still obstacles. He also had success in his second season in the Champions League, so I think it's just a matter of time.
