La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

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.

They are really bad, 0-2 against Celta Vigo is a form of Madrid's incompetence in this match, this is clearly because their chemistry is bad, their style of play has declined like never before, there is something wrong with Real Madrid in the last five matches which have resulted in 3 draws, 1 win and 1 loss, clearly there is a big failure, I have not seen that Real Madrid is that bad, they are starting to play undisciplined and starting to lose what Los Blancos is all about.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

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.

Haha, this is what is called a miracle when everyone thought that Celta Vigo had no way to win against Real Madrid + playing away or even we predict the worst result is a draw but the fact is no, Real Madrid lost today. This certainly makes Barcelona a little comfortable and lead the standings by 4 points but I think it's only for a moment because usually Barcelona will do something similar in the near future, so to be sure let's wait for Barcelona next match.

Another match in Laliga today Osasuna vs Levante, nothing special in this match but I think Osasuna has the advantage as the home team and efforts to move away from degradation.

Definitely many lost their bet especially those who were expecting Real Madrid to win because they played at home but some risk takes like a friend of mine who happens to be a Barcelona fan told me to bet on Celta Vigo to win Real Madrid because according to him Real Madrid was not in good shape to win the game and they eventually lost.

Real Madrid performance even before the red card was not good they couldn't mount pressure on their opponent any when they were down by 1 goal they lost control which made it easy for Celta Vigo to dominate the game and get the win.

I don't know if the result of the match would have changed if Fran Garcia had not been shown the red card in Real Madrid

Of course the result would’ve been different if Francisco Garcia and Alvaro Carreras hadn’t been sent off. Madrid’s defense would’ve been much stronger, and their attack could’ve focused more on creating scoring chances. Historically, Madrid almost always wins in this fixture, and in yesterday’s match it looked like Celta were just lucky. I’m pretty sure that if those two players didn’t get red card, Madrid could’ve scored at least 2 goals without conceding.

Real Madrid were the hot favorites in this match. First of all, the match was held at the Bernabeu. Madrid is always strong at home. Secondly, Celta Vigo is not in good form. This was Celta Vigo's fourth win this season. The team's performance is also very irregular. Thirdly , Real madrid has not lost a point against Celta vigo for a long time. They have won in the last 5 matches. And I can not even find the statistics of when Madrid lost against Celta Vigo last. Nobody thought  that madrid would  lose against such a team. It was a  completely unexpected result. This result surprised everyone and a lot of gamblers like me lost money.

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.

Dani Carvajal is one of the most respected players who also serves as the captain of Real Madrid, but at the moment he is dealing with an injury. I think the main problem for Real Madrid lies in the approach taken by Xabi Alonso, whose strategy has not yet been fully understood by all of his players.
In addition, Xabi Alonso seems to be struggling to manage the egos of the star players and to distribute playing time more fairly among the squad. In my opinion, these factors have contributed to their current decline in performance and have placed Xabi Alonso under heavy pressure.
The result of the match against Manchester City in the Champions League may determine Xabi Alonso’s future.

[Rgram]

For real, I do not regret saying Xabi Alonso is still an inexperienced coach at the beginning of the season. People almost attacked me for it, but I wasn’t lying. His time at Bayer Leverkusen looked great, but a lot of things went perfectly for him there. Now he’s at Real Madrid with world class players, and he’s expected to dominate every team he faces.

That’s why this bad run is pretty much embarrassing. The pressure at Madrid is different, no excuses, no patience. And if he can’t beat Manchester City in the champions league, he could easily find himself on the edge of being sacked and that's more embarrassing.

I’m not hating on him, no, I'm not.  I’m just saying it how I see it. Sometimes success at a smaller club doesn’t automatically mean you’re ready for the biggest job in football.

We can see that Real Madrid's performance is constantly going from bad to worse and they are losing their points in the points table. Currently, we can see that Real Madrid's performance in the last few matches was really inadequate and they failed to collect full points. Real Madrid lost the match against Celta Vigo, which is a big failure for them which has deprived them of more confidence. If Real Madrid continues with their performance like this, then maybe their position in the La Liga points table will gradually move downwards.
Moreover, Real Madrid may not be found in the Champions League if Real Madrid's performance cannot improve as they are constantly facing failures. They must solve the errors and also improve their position, manage the strategies more correctly. I think Real Madrid is going to suffer a big blow this season as well. In the beginning, their performance was very good but at the present time they are very disappointed.

[Slow death]

Garcia, Fernandez, and Endrick were shown red cards, and the team was reduced to 8 men in the final minutes.

Endrick didn't play yesterday; he was on the bench as always. I can't understand how the Real Madrid coach thinks. Why does he insist on not letting Endrick play, even when Real Madrid is winning? He still doesn't let Endrick play, doesn't give him minutes. How does he expect the player to improve his skills if he's not playing? I think this is a common strategy of the Real Madrid coach, who has been fielding the same players even though he sees that nothing is changing for the better. Perhaps it's a personal problem the Real Madrid coach has with Endrick, because it's not normal.

[Stormisover]

It's truly a nightmare. Celta Vigo's attack isn't as threatening as the attacks of the top clubs Real Madrid have faced, but they were unable to secure it. Aside from the long-term injury, they aren't short of top players, but their performance is declining, and yeha, Xabi is one who is responsible for this. Look at the number of shots they concede; they missed so many. Unlike Celta Vigo, they optimized those shots very well. Real Madrid's defense made numerous errors and had very few clearances.

Who knows what will happen to Real Madrid in the next match. They will also be playing without their most defenders and other top players due to the injuries and red cards.

Source: Real Madrid are missing the following players in their next La Liga game vs Alavés!

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.

This is really massive but just thanking God it's not most of the top star players though we have few there but I still believe Real Madrid can be able to win that game, as Real Madrid have been in some under ground issues that I don't understand till now speculated on Vinicius and some others, but I just believe it's all gonna calm down and I still strongly believe Real Madrid will take back the top spot in the league table when the time comes because I don't really see them to lose the league to Barcelona again so what ever thing the case maybe I still count on the to win the Spanish LA Liga title this season no cap.

Madrid faced such a problem last season. In the previous season, we saw 4 players in the squad get injured at the same time. And as a result, Madrid's performance was also erratic. To solve this problem, the Madrid management added talented defenders like Alexander Arnold and Huijsen to the squad.

Madrid is unfortunate that they are facing the same problem this season. Against Alaves, Madrid will not have 8 players in the squad. And all 8 are defenders. 5 defenders will miss the match due to injury and two will miss it due to red cards. Madrid's time is going very badly now. They are going to face City without 5 defenders in the squad. Getting points in this match is a big challenge for Madrid.

[Abdulzuruku01]

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.

A lot of bettors would be deceived by their head to head records and playing at Bernabeu give them more confidence to bet on Real Madrid. their performance in the first half was pretty good, because they were pressing the opponents defense which I also thought they'd win. But in the second half the results was very disappointing because even without the red card Real Madrid couldn't put any effort again.

Honestly Xabi Alonso pattern hasn't been helpful to this team. How can you be leading the second position with five points only to squandered them in four straight matches? Now Barcelona is ahead by four points again and in my opinion they look more promising to win the La Liga trophy this season than any other team in this league..

[GbitG]

Well, if Barcelona managed to turn things around before, then Real Madrid could do the same again. But it is quite funny to see these two teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid, constantly experiencing ups and downs in their performance

Yeah obviously both have been playing Tugs of war. Like one goes up and another goes down. Anyway let talk about the states and figure. Form the beginning until now, Real Madrid has been performing a bit sloppily, like their consistency is not too strong, despite Barcelona were also doing the same, but best thing which they have is a strong attacking play and because of this Barcelona is still doing some good job.....

Besides that now Real Madrid is fully off loaded from teg league competition and only Barcelona is front porch to get lead for teg league title. I hope now they will try to maintain his capacity to finish the league in top spot.

[dezoel]

I have never been this disappointed with Real Madrid. Because, well, they should have won this match no matter what the circumstances. But instead of winning, we saw Real Madrid lose two of their defenders for several matches due to accumulated red cards. I think Xabi Alonso tried the wrong strategy. And the players also seem to be playing out of form. They appear to be lacking good chemistry or whatever it is, but clearly they failed. And now Barcelona leads the standings with an ever-widening point gap. But it's also quite funny that a few weeks ago we were confident that Real Madrid would win the title this season. And we were disappointed with Barcelona's performance in a few matches. But now the situation has reversed again.

The trouble with Real Madrid is obvious, if you go check google or sofascore or any other website that you wish to check, you will see that they have a very different formation on almost all games and definitely different players each time. That type of experimenting needs to end and they need to find what is working for them and keep doing that. This time it was 4-4-2 diamond, with Jude being nearly a striker, and Mbappe being more like a attacking midfield, totally switched positions, like why would you do that?

[el kaka22]

When you are missing 8 players from your team, some of them being a starting eleven type of level players, then it's quite obvious that you are not going to get good results. But losing to Celta? That looks like a terrible deal and more importantly it is putting Xabi's job on the line.

Real Madrid is not a team that is okay with losses, and if you do badly then you are going to get sacked quite quickly as well. I do not see more than this season for Xabi, best he will do is finish the season at Real Madrid but looking at the results it's clear that he will end up with getting fired if this keeps up. Or maybe he will recover and comeback and do better, if they can do that then they could maybe see him for more, but this many injuries prevents it.

[Rgram]

I came across a story saying Ronald Araujo might never wear the Barcelona shirt again because of what happened in the Champions League match against Chelsea. They said he is really affected mentally after that red card, and Barcelona even had to give him an indefinite break to recover.

But honestly, I feel like he is taking this too seriously. This is not even the first time something like this has happened to him. I think this should be the third time he he has made a costly mistake in a big match. I know the pressure is heavy on him because the fans are not happy with him, but this is football. Mistakes do happen.

For him to even consider not wearing the Barcelona shirt again because of one incident? For me, that’s too much. I understand how he feels, I really do, but he should try to take it easier on himself. He’s still an important player, and walking away over one moment is not the best option. He is still very young and vibrant to make his wrongs right.

[dollyamo]

Rodrygo came on in the second half for Raúl Asencio, meaning the Real Madrid manager had used Raúl Asencio from the first half until he came off in the 54th minute and was replaced by Rodrygo. Militao was also taken off at halftime due to pain and replaced by Rudiger, but that didn't make any difference for Real Madrid in that match. And just before the second goal was scored against Real Madrid, Carreras also had to leave the pitch early due to a red card, so the match was a complete disaster that Real Madrid couldn't control and I also started to doubt Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League against opponents who were much stronger than Celta Vigo.

Rodrygo came in and then they immediately realised in my opinion that he is a player who deserves more space and who deserves to play a lot more, obviously right now this boy is not finding much space but in my opinion he should be rewarded to let him play a little more

Xabi Alonso: We were better with 10 men than with 11. Simply because at 10 men, at least we started running and working hard

I mean he is not wrong though. Real Madrid played very badly in this match. And it definitely felt like that they did not have a sense of tactics or what to do. They were not being proactive enough. And I obviously think that they had taken this match as a win for granted. And I think that's why they lost. And honestly I just saw two Real Madrid players talk themselves into red cards. Real Madrid created a lot of chances in this match though. But it seemed like everything was finding the goalkeeper of Celta Vigo. For some reason the ref did seem to be angry at Real Madrid though.

I would say an absolutely valid crash out from Xabi Alonso 

[Alex077]

I'm really glad with the type of mentality barcelona has been displaying recently, and I am applauding them as they really deserve to win the league this year.

Real Betis started this match very well. The GOAT Antony started the scoring at the sixth minute of the match. But after that Barcelona just took over. Barcelona did not give a lot of breathing space to Real Betis. Torres was absolutely incredible in this match. He got a hat trick. And with that Barcelona was 4-1 going into the half time break. After that Barcelona was gifted a penalty in the second half. Which was obviously scored by Yamal. Betis did score two goals towards the end of the match. But that was not going to get them a win or even a point obviously. With this Barcelona solidifies their position at the top of the table with being 4 points ahead of Real Madrid, so yeah, I also think they are title contender for this year,,

[pewboy]

The point gap between them and Barcelona Is very much, but just the same way we were confident in previous weeks that they can win this league and everything just changed all of a sudden means anything can happen again.  This is an internal issue, they need to put their heads in the game and really work on their team spirit in previous matches.  To close that gap they need a consistency of at least 65-70% in their remaining matches. Anything they need to do to win that league, now is the time to start doing it, they don't have time to relax anymore

Yes, i am a little disappointed too. i understand that there can be times when things are absolutely bad: i get it.
But this thing made me lose a bet and so i am more disappointed than ever, obviously speaking in the heat of the moment it's like this, maybe this thing will pass.
