La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Polkeins]

Nice, so Real flukes a 1.35 odd on beating Girona, then demolishes with no contest Bilbao at 1.9 and now, we have Celta at 1.3...
If they lose points again and on their home turf this time, this will be the time Real starts losing bettors, way too much unpredictability in low odds games for anyone's liking.

Of course, god knows why Atletico is 2.3 as we speak against the same Bilbao but, yeah, letly these odds are thrown away like are children's toys.

Yes, we can say that Mbappe is a diesel engine, he needs to warm up to give his best.

So we need to throw him in the fire before the match or something?

I also thought that this was a very strange odds for Simeone's team, considering that Athletic Bilbao looked weak in the game against Real Madrid, and I bet on Simeone's team thinking that I was lucky to get such excellent odds, but somehow Athletic Bilbao won in the last minutes by scoring a goal with a long-range shot, but it's still not as surprising as Real Madrid's performance yesterday.

I remember last season everyone was saying that Real Madrid under Ancelotti were struggling and they were winning games with difficulty and I remember betting against Real Madrid on underdogs like Sevilla, Celta, and others with odds of around 5-7, hoping that this time Real would definitely lose, but I never won because Real always won, albeit with difficulty, and often the score was 0:1, but it was still a victory for Real.
At the same time, everyone criticized Ancelotti because it seemed that Real Madrid was playing poorly in attack, they didn't understand why they were using Tchouameni, Mbappe's transfer seemed like a failure, he hardly scored then, but somehow Real still won, and now everyone was waiting for the team to reboot, but there was a small crisis and there are probably more defeats now than there were under Ancelotti in his last season.

Many people didn't think Real Madrid would lose this match. If you guessed it, congratulations. Real Madrid has already beaten Barcelona on its home turf. It was very difficult to predict their loss in this match. However, Fran Garcia's ridiculous red card completely changed the balance of power for Real Madrid. Real Madrid lost 2-0 at home, dropping them four points behind Barcelona in the league.

Actually I'm one of those people, I genuinely could not believe the score line when it was 0-1, although I didnt watch the full game but coming to see 0-2 defeat to real Madrid. I mean they have been drawing a lot lately ,3 draws, 1 win and 1 loss in their last 5 matches against all 5 wins of Barcelona in the last 5 matches. Xabi's boys are lazy, I read xabi post match interview, he's complaining about the pace of the team as a whole and if you check the second goal you will notice how tired and onside Rudigier was. They have to do internal review else the title is as good as Barca's this season.

This year, Real Madrid was in really good form and had started the season very well. They even beat Barcelona and were firmly at the top of the table. However, this five-game stretch changed everything. They won only one of their five games and dropped points in the other four, all against mid-table teams. This left Real Madrid far below expectations and failing to achieve a winning rhythm like Barcelona. They must now push on and find a rhythm where they can win all five matches. Otherwise, they'll be slipping further and further away from the title.

[MK-74]

Real Madrid were devastated at home; the 2-0 defeat they suffered yesterday was not good for them at all. Celta Vigo destroyed them and took all 3 points.
Garcia, Fernandez, and Endrick were shown red cards, and the team was reduced to 8 men in the final minutes.
They couldn’t handle the defeat and were punished for it.
To be honest, I wasn’t enjoying their style of play, and I don’t think they’ve been playing well. It seems like they won’t achieve any success this season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Simeone's students just gave them so many chances inside the box. They didn't have a good day in terms of defending. They got lucky until some point because of Athletic Bilbao players' clumsiness. But it was until Berenguer's lovely goal from afar...

These are the contrasts of football that are beautiful, they lost against a team that is quite good, Atletico is a team that for me is among the best and that they let themselves be beaten by Atletico, well, not like a Madrid or Barcelona, ​​that means that fatigue completely overwhelmed the boys of Cholo.

[Uruhara]

Of course, many will prefer to bet on Real Madrid's victory. The difference in strength between the two teams is very clear. And in terms of squad depth, we can all see that Real Madrid is far superior. Another advantage is that Real Madrid is the home team in this match. So, expecting Real Madrid to win is the most reasonable prediction for this match. However, I'm not sure how many goals will be scored. But at least two goals could happen. But I don't want to choose that. But right now, the match is already in the 23rd minute, but to be honest, Real Madrid isn't playing as well as I expected. Their playing style isn't as aggressive as usual. I'm now starting to worry about the outcome of this match.

Things are not like that again in this season. The match is still at the first half and Real Madrid is dominating the game and Celta back is good. The goalkeeper has saved 3 attempt. Because of the nature of Celta and their performances previously, gamblers would choose Real Madrid to win the match and they doing their best to score but Celta is not giving up for them.to score. And as this stage of the game, 40 minutes mo goals, those who have supported Real Madrid to win is at the high tension. While those who bey on draw are continue praying to be draw.

My concerns about the match seem to have come true. I never expected Real Madrid to lose 0-2 without reply. Although I noticed something odd from the first half because I saw that Real Madrid's attack effectiveness was slightly different from usual. They seemed a little weak or unfocused. So I wasn't surprised when they ultimately struggled to score. But not being able to score at all was still surprising. Especially since the opponent was Celta. Honestly, I became quite frustrated, even as the team started losing their patience. And two red cards were issued. It didn’t feel like the Real Madrid that is usually more composed and never gives up until the very end. But in that match, I was truly disappointed.

Looking at Real Madrid's current injury list, most of them are defenders, and it should only impact the defense. However, I see Real Madrid's overall performance has declined drastically, even their forward and midfield lines are unable to create many chances. So I don't think injuries are the only excuse. Overall, Xabi Alonso is unable to develop this team with his tactics.

Xabi Alonso certainly bears responsibility for Real Madrid's current slump, and I believe that if this continues, it's not impossible that Real Madrid management will take decisive action to replace the coach.

I disagree, in fact, the many injuries to defenders significantly impact a team's performance. Imagine, even if the attackers can score a few goals, if the defense is weak, they will lose. Real Madrid's performance has indeed declined, but one factor is the large number of injuries, making it very difficult for Xabi Alonso to implement his tactics because he has no choice. I'm sure the management will not fire Xabi Alonso, and even if they do, it would be unfair to him because it's only his first season and he's also faced with many injured players. I think any coach, faced with conditions like Xabi Alonso's, will definitely struggle to improve the team's performance because they can't do much because of the many injured players.

I don't think player injuries are an excuse for a coach it's the coach's job to strategize to achieve victory. When Ancelotti was coaching Real Madrid many players were injured but Ancelotti was able to utilize the potential of the available players to cover the injured positions.

I see Real Madrid's current poor performance as the lack of respected and authoritative players on the team. This isn't just a matter of the coach's tactics or the lack of star players. Even eleven star players together are meaningless if there isn't even one player who is respected and authoritative. That's why Madrid is inconsistent despite having star players. Without a respected and authoritative player, the players appear selfish. When they're behind there's no one to fuel their enthusiasm to keep fighting.

With the loss to Celta Vigo Real Madrid's position in the hunt for the La Liga title this season will be even more difficult. Xabi Alonso isn't the ideal coach for a club as big as Real Madrid especially since he hasn't dared to try out young players when the team is struggling. But firing him isn't the solution either. I hope Real Madrid gives Xabi a chance until the end of the season.

It was very difficult to predict their loss in this match. However, Fran Garcia's ridiculous red card completely changed the balance of power for Real Madrid. Real Madrid lost 2-0 at home, dropping them four points behind Barcelona in the league.

A few weeks ago, Barcelona was behind Real Madrid, but after watching yesterday's match, I remembered that Barcelona, who had been behind, is now ahead of Madrid. There is definitely a difference between these two teams as the Catalans have been consistent but Spanish giants Los Blancos controversially lost the match yesterday.

Against Celta Vigo we observed that two Madrid players received red cards but in the 92nd minute, Spanish player Alvaro Carreras was shown two yellow cards in quick succession, reducing Los Blancos to nine men so I thought that Real Madrid had completely collapsed, in the depression of this defeat but on the other hand, Celta showed a rough attitude, as a result their substitutes scored two goals and changed the course of the match.

In this match, 5 defenders of Madrid's squad were injured. So I did not expect a very good performance from Madrid's defenders. And as usual, we saw the weakness of Madrid's defense in this match.

Along with Madrid's defense, Madrid's attack players also did not play well in this match. This is probably Madrid's biggest failure in this match. Celta Vigo conceded 19 goals in their 14 matches. This team does not have a very strong defense. Even then, Madrid could not score a single goal in this match. However, Madrid dominated this match. Madrid's players were able to do 62% of the ball possession and at the same time they did a lot of attacks.

Yep that's right. Real Madrid just could not do much in this match &  absolutely lost their head. I understand that losses like these are going to be hard to accept  &  even frustrating for a lot of players. But that does not give you the permit to actually lose your calm &  get a red card. Two Red cards in this match means these players are going to be unavailable for the next match. With Barcelona creating a lot of competition for them Real Madrid definitely needs all the help that they can get. And this is definitely not helping. Real Madrid also have injury problems. And now these two red cards. This happening right before the Manchester City match is definitely not going to be something good for their morale

You know what's shocking about Real Madrid players? There is nothing different between what this team are playing and what Anceloti has played with this team in the last couple of seasons but the way they played against Celta yesterday made it look like this players are forced, they don't have the zeal and passion and don't like Xabi. There is a way the players are always excited and do make a comeback from then than what they are doing now.

The last goal was super shaming, Bellingham just stood there helpless, not like he could stop the goal but mehn, be remorseful for the loss. There is nothing Real Madrid is going to do this season that is going to stop Barcelona from winning this season. They had the chance and the have beautifully wasted the opportunity. The only team in Laliga that can stop Barcelona from winning this season is Barcelona players, if they decided to play here it's going to back fire.

it was indeed a surprising defeat, I wasn't even following up the game until it was over and I decided to check the scoreline, I was absolutely disappointed. This has to be the worst season for real Madrid, they have become very lazy all of a sudden. with them out of the way there would be no team in the la liga that can be a threat to Barcelona, it is obvious that they are going to win the title

Well, Real Madrid's forwards, who usually cover for the weaknesses in the back line, didn't play well either. They usually always find a way to score goals against their opponents. But in that match, they looked quite frustrated because they failed to capitalize on the chances they created through their relentless attacks on Celta's defense. But nothing worked.

I'm curious whether Real Madrid will also perform this poorly in the upcoming UCL match. After all, we know that in the UCL match, Real Madrid will face Manchester City. And that's certainly not an easy match at all. Even with Real Madrid's current form, it seems like they'll be in an unfavorable situation again.  

[Sexylizzy2813]

So, we have
- a team that is cracking under pressure, with everyone screaming at everyone
- lost 2 points with a weak team while 1.35, lost the whole match while 1.3, and is playing at Alaves after hosting Manchester City
- at least 4 players definitely out, maybe 7



Now, assuming that they don't get themselves into another battle with their own teammates by next week, anyone feeling confident about taking them for 1.57?

Madrid has gotten to a place where even the fans will have to lose confidence in them and you will agree with me that the home ground has lost its fear factor that makes visiting clubs shake whenever they visit, this is not a joking matter because as it stands even the Alaves are ready to play Madrid like they're playing a smaller side with same strength as them, how did Madrid get to this place? Now Madrid have something big at hand, facing Manchester City in the champions league is a battle we can't wait to see if Madrid can survive it, after that they face 11th place Alaves which is going to be a hard one for Madrid and I can't pick them to win even if they're the favorite.

[IceLincoln]

The thing that i worried finally happened. Madrid dropped important points against Celta. I'm getting spechless by seeing how terrible their defense are. They played too comfortably and forget the way how to win. There are also too many experiments made by Xabi in this game.

What's the point playing careras and Asencio out of their positions. It's obvious Xabi was doing criminal coaching to his club. If he keeps do this. I won't be surprised if his club will be trophyless this season.

His team's gap to the Barcelona is getting widen. It most probably they will finish at the 2nd.

I wouldn’t blame Xabi entirely for Madrid’s lose based on his experiments cos if he had succeeded he would have been praised for it but there were a lot of decisions he got wrong and I think he also underrated Celta Vigo to an extent.

What I’m seeing all over social media today is that “beating Barcelona comes with a curse”. Starting from Inter who defeated barça 4:3 last season UCL they were thrashed 5:0 in the finals, then PSG after beating Barcelona has been seeing a done form both in their league and the UCL, same with Madrid and Chelsea.
So for the other teams out there don’t win Barcelona, just let them win and continue your journey….. Lol🤣🤣

I watched a lot of weekend matches but when i get to real Madrid match I thought it was another match of an experience club but it was an inexperience performances I watched, Celta Vigo goal came out with just a little fancy side touch by wedberg and his second goal embarrasses Courtois because he navigated out Courtois and slowly score the goal, I was concerned about the second red card of real Madrid, what did Fernandez Carreras actually do to deserve the red card because I didn't hear what he said to the referee to have decided in giving him the red when Fernandez Carreras was alone with the ball. Next time when real Madrid will hear that this referee is going to officiate there match they will be very careful because he loves giving red card so much.

[Lannakosa]

Madrid has gotten to a place where even the fans will have to lose confidence in them and you will agree with me that the home ground has lost its fear factor that makes visiting clubs shake whenever they visit, this is not a joking matter because as it stands even the Alaves are ready to play Madrid like they're playing a smaller side with same strength as them, how did Madrid get to this place?

Real Madrid was disappointing, and I'm glad I held off on them yesterday. I held off because the odds were low, and then Militao's injury finally convinced me something was wrong with this match. Then Mbappé went to the bench and asked the doctors to look at his fingers, everything seemed a bit strained for Real Madrid. Then the referee acted strangely, Bellingham got a cut on his eyebrow, and I don't even understand why the referee gave him a yellow card. I didn't even watch the end of the match, when the red cards started coming out, but today I see headlines that this referee's career is in jeopardy.

I’m sure many bettors lost their bets on that match. Madrid was the favorite, but their results and performance were not as expected. 
Despite the red card, Madrid’s performance was indeed not good. They did manage to create some chances, but if you look at the combination and teamwork in their midfield, it wasn’t good enough.

[KTChampions]

In my opinion, the odds are normal, but it’s too early to bet - according to leaks, Xabi’s resignation could happen in the event of failure with City. I think if this happens it will shake up the team and they will tear Alaves apart. So we have to wait and see what happens in the game with City. Overall, I'm disappointed that even after 15 games, Xabi still hasn't been able to establish himself as a coach whose decisions aren't contested. It seems to me that the presence of Vinny in the team suggests that this should have been done straight away.

[Velvet78]

Here is a parlay I think for this weekend.



Total odds: 3.23

Atletico Madrid have been losing for 2 weeks in a row. Their performance also got even worse in the meantime... But I see this Valencia game as a good opportunity to bounce back. 

Barcelona are in a great form. They score too easily. Their only problem is with defending as they conceded 3 goals from Betis too. But I think they will manage to beat Osasuna easier.

Lastly, Real Madrid are in a really tough period. That loss against Celta home was insane! I still don't want to miss these odds. I hope they react well next time.
