La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[topbitcoin]

To be fair Real Madrid will be fine in UCL even if they lose because of the results they got earlier, they are going to be in the top 24 already and that is good enough for them. So even if there is a loss against City, which would be emotionally not good, the reality is that it doesn't impact anything, plus they still have games left over after this one so it should be fine for them in any case. I would say la liga is more important because this period where they went from 5 points ahead to now 4 points behind is a 9 point gap, and terrible and needs fixing.

You may be right, as Real Madrid still have games against Monaco (at home) and Benfica (away), where they should get 6 points (with maximum motivation), which will secure them a place in the top 8. But it's still better to win today to get 15 points and break away from a large group of teams. This will allow them to better manage their strength in the Champions League and La Liga, where Real Madrid is clearly experiencing problems. Plus, the only big game this season was the victory over Barcelona, ​​now we need at least one more to make things look decent.

The most important thing for now is for Madrid to go into the match against Manchester City with their defense in bad shape because this result could make or break their mentality quickly depending on the final result.

Their last 2 Champions League matches have been favorites to win but when the situation of some players, especially in terms of injuries and mentality, cannot be unraveled from the beginning, this could be a problem for themselves.
The match against Manchester City at the bernabeu could be crucial and if it is not handled well then it could affect their performance going forward.

The elbow incident more so should have been dealt with at least with a yellow card and letting it go as though it did not happen was also contributing to the suspicion regarding the decisions of the referee. The usage of VAR is not new to La Liga, and the decisions of such scale should not be that disputable. Rather than defusing the situation, the way the referee dealt with the game has created more discussion and hobbled trust in the officiating this season.

I think we cant pass judgement on the referee who in this case may have made some mistakes but we can't say that he is a person who made mistakes on purpose, and i think that this thing will get worse in the long run, now he must stay focused and not lose his mind, because everyone will attack him.

The match against Manchester City at the bernabeu could be crucial and if it is not handled well then it could affect their performance going forward.

The fragility of the defense line is a weak point for Real Madrid when facing a team like Manchester City, Guardiola has made major changes to his squad after the last defeat to Leverkusen, now Man City has won three consecutive times in the EPL and managed to score 11 goals. Real Madrid may be a little more relieved because Man City always struggles when playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, but it seems that Real Madrid chances this time are very small due to the declining quality of attack and a very fragile defense.

This match is certainly crucial for both teams. Real Madrid wants to win to improve their players mentality, while Man City wants to continue their winning streak and improve their position in the standings. This match could end in a draw, but if Man City can play with high intensity and exploit Real Madrid weaknesses, then they have a chance to take home three points from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Manchester City are a very tough opponent, and a Real Madrid win would give manager Xabi some breathing room. Therefore, the match is extremely important. It will be a crucial game for both Real Madrid and Manchester City. If Real Madrid win, they will almost certainly finish in the top eight. So far, they've only lost to Liverpool and won all their other matches. Tonight's game will be very important, and I'm sure it will be very enjoyable.

[bastisisca]

The competition in La Liga will be even fiercer, as Barcelona is also in top form, especially with no injured players. This will be a very tough match for Real Madrid, considering they are only one point behind Villarreal. Villarreal still have a game in hand, making it easier for them to move up to second place if they can win their next match against Levante

I understand the situation very well, and i also understand the disappointment of the fans and those who, like me, had placed bets that were not honored.
We can't help it, football isn't a given; if it were, it wouldn't be fun. So take it philosophically.

This match could end in a draw, but if Man City can play with high intensity and exploit Real Madrid weaknesses, then they have a chance to take home three points from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid must be vigilant, and this will be a very difficult task for Xabi Alonso to cover the weaknesses in his defensive line. I think Xabi Alonso will implement a different tactic against Manchester City, namely playing defensively and counterattacking. If Real Madrid play openly, a big disaster will hit them, especially with so many injured defenders and how ferocious Manchester City's attackers are, so there is no other choice for Alonso to play a bit defensively and counterattack quickly. The match will be exciting and tight, maybe the result will be a draw, but it comes back to momentum because in the Champions League, even the smallest opportunities and mistakes can affect the outcome of the match.

[alankasman]

Right now the pressure has just mounted to the extent that victory on any of the uefa champions League games or in the Spanish laliga will be very helpful to reduce the pressure on xabi Alonso because in my own opinion, what makes things now difficult and his future looked into is when his real Madrid team fell four points behind after leading by five points earlier on, so I don't see a victory in this game saving the job of xabi Alonso on the longer run if his team does not go on 10 to fifteen games winning streak, because victory alone against Manchester City will on buys him time, not securing his future at the club, unless they goes on a winning streak, starting from this game, because that's alone will correct so many things that has gone wrong already on their standing in the league table and in the uefa champions League.

The pressure on their coach, Xabi Alonso, is indeed under pressure. The lack of results in recent matches has created pressure, as the results are certainly not what they deserve. Moreover, their current position in La Liga will certainly be overtaken by Villarreal, as they still have a game in hand. Doubts about Xabi Alonso are certainly growing stronger considering Real Madrid will face Manchester City in tonight's UCL match. A good result in that match will be crucial for them in determining Xabi Alonso's future as head coach this season.

However, I also believe Real Madrid's mentality will be a challenge for Manchester City, as they have lost in their previous meetings with the team nicknamed Los Blancos. Real Madrid has dominated the match more than the Cityzens, so I'm willing to bet on Real Madrid's chances of winning tonight's match, especially since they will be playing in front of a home crowd at the Santiago Bernabéu.

[cande86]

Real Madrid's performance has been somewhat erratic in the past few days. In addition, 5 defenders of the Madrid squad were out of the squad due to injuries. Although Madrid's condition is a bit weak, we all assumed that at least Madrid would not make any mistakes at the Bernabeu. But Madrid proved us wrong.

Madrid lost 2-0 against Celta Vigo. Madrid conceded two goals and I have no regrets about losing. Although I lost the bet money. But my main disappointment is that Madrid could not score a single goal in this match. We know that Madrid's defense was weak due to injuries to the players. But why did Madrid's strong attack lineup fail to play well? The Madrid management needs to find out the reason.

Real Madrid have certainly been inconsistent and the defeats against teams that once would have won easily have been notable and have resonated with them that sense of defeat, now they are trying to recover from this disappointment, even if it is not exactly easy

[Pandu Geddon]

There will always be criticism for someone's achievements, even from fans. I think Xabi coaches well, but there will still be dissatisfaction from fans or spectators regarding the performance shown by his team. 
We all know Madrid has players with big names and high salaries. Maybe some lines are still inconsistent because some veteran players have had to leave or retire. Xabi just hasn't found a player who can fill the important roles that are vacant.

Everyone's been talking nonstop about Real Madrid following their loss to Celta Vigo, which is sad, it seems, for many people who support Real Madrid (maybe).
It's true that he hasn't been here for a season, so that's perfectly understandable. On the other hand, we know what people's expectations are for Real Madrid. After Xabi Alonso joined Real Madrid, and then Mbappé arrived, Real Madrid also has many other potential players who are considered good and capable of winning La Liga. So, it's perfectly understandable. In my personal opinion, people's dissatisfaction stems from excessive expectations at Real Madrid.

So, perhaps we'll have to see how he makes his market decisions next year, to see if it works or not.

Perhaps it is true that the disappointment comes from having expectations that are too high. After all, Madrid lost the trophy last season and had high hopes of winning it again this season. Every loss will surely bring criticism for the coach and the players as well. But I hope the club management does not rush to make decisions. The team currently has many players with extraordinary talent. They can develop even better.

Victory over Manchester City is crucial for Alonso to secure his position as Real Madrid manager, which has been under increasing pressure recently due to a string of poor results in La Liga, which has left Madrid four points behind Barcelona. Reportedly, Management is waiting for the results of this match to make a decision on whether Alonso is worthy of being retained or fired from his position, especially since Real Madrid representatives have also established communication with Zidane, who is currently not managing any team.
It will be very interesting to wait for the result of this match because the situation at Real Madrid is very tense, besides the poor results achieved in the last match, the relationship between the players and Alonso is reportedly not harmonious.

[Lannakosa]

Perhaps it is true that the disappointment comes from having expectations that are too high. After all, Madrid lost the trophy last season and had high hopes of winning it again this season. Every loss will surely bring criticism for the coach and the players as well. But I hope the club management does not rush to make decisions. The team currently has many players with extraordinary talent. They can develop even better.

You are right that the expectations for Real this season were much higher. And at the beginning of the season it seemed that everything was really fine for Real. Their key defenders returned to the squad. In addition, Real also strengthened their defensive line. Not even all players, like Rodrygo, had the opportunity to play. But gradually, for some reason, their defense once again started going through difficult times. And competing with a Barcelona like this is also very difficult.

[8rch7]

Real Madrid's performance has been somewhat erratic in the past few days. In addition, 5 defenders of the Madrid squad were out of the squad due to injuries. Although Madrid's condition is a bit weak, we all assumed that at least Madrid would not make any mistakes at the Bernabeu. But Madrid proved us wrong.

But my main disappointment is that Madrid could not score a single goal in this match. We know that Madrid's defense was weak due to injuries to the players. But why did Madrid's strong attack lineup fail to play well? The Madrid management needs to find out the reason.

Real Madrid has completed problem currently after losing last match from Celta Vigo and have loss 5 defender players due injury absent for several crucial matches exactly in Champion League match against Manchester City. Really not good position for Madrid right now after leaving by many defender layers and Xabi Alonso must looking for right rotation to play the players not on their original position exactly on central defender position.

Madrid has 4 points gap behind Barcelona who always get win in last several La Liga matches, indeed not really many points gap but Madrid perform not really quite well yet and have to play several crucial matches later without many key players. Will Alonso give up for La Liga tittle race after having inconsistent performance and leaving by several key players?

[Berry2d]

The reasons why Real Madrid always experience injury setback in key areas like the defense line and the midfield positions every season is what is getting me confused. Last season at almost this same time, Real Madrid lost all defensive options to injury and where faced with know option than to use defensive midfielders and there second choice in there defense line, now this season the same setback is also kicking them off balance now they are supposed to prove there supremacy over  other teams in the champions league and there domestic league

[Adiljutt156]

Oh my gosh, Real Madrid is really bad,
losing to Celta Vigo 0-2 with 2 red cards. Seriously, Real Madrid doesn't seem like a La Liga powerhouse. Their performance under Xabi has been inconsistent, with many changes causing inconsistencies in their performance.

How has the mighty started falling!

 I am lost in words to describe this awful result from Real Madrid in their own home in front of their fans who were joyfully waiting to climb close to Barcelona with just 1 point difference it would have being to the La'liga league table if the game has ended in their favourable winning. Celta Vigo. Really pulled a stunt here, not 1 red card but 2 reds and they still found a way to victory. Xabi Alonso move to the Real Madrid job might end at being one of his bad job in his career.

Real Madrid lost in this match and hurt their reputation, the performance that Real Madrid team sometimes does is really unimaginable. No one ever imagined that Celta team would win this match, most gamblers have bet on Real Madrid in this match but they could not win. After two players got red cards, Real Madrid team became completely helpless, besides I saw Real Madrid team's attacks very easily but they could not kick. Real Madrid team could not win this match, it is a failure for them.

Real Madrid football team stats was good against Celta de Vigo football team but they could not do any goal in this match which they played one day ago and we saw one sided match because Celta de Vigo football team did 2 goals in this match which was requirement of the team at that time and Swedberg was a match Winner of the match because he did goals for the team and he was top performer of this match. He did first goal at 54 minutes of the match when it was need of team because opponent team score was zero at that time and he made pressure in this match and he did goal at the end of the match also and stats of that team was very low because their shots were 7 in this match and 5 shots were on target.

[aipercoin]

That Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid game was a wake-up call alright! It only goes to indicate that the underestimation of an underdog can be an expensive affair particularly when the underdog is both motivated and well prepared. Celta was disciplined, confident and the goalkeeping of Radu was of the highest standards. The red card of Real Madrid was not very helpful as well, yet it is a credit to Celta which managed to take advantage of the occasion. Such moments make La Liga such an exciting game to watch, it is not always predictable and even such giants as Madrid can struggle with some serious problems. Madridad has a long way to think over before they want to remain in the title race with Xabi Alonso.

Celta Vigo made the most of Real Madrid's weakness, played strategy and won.
In my opinion it was a good match, i feel sorry for Real Madrid, but as we all saw he deserved this defeat.
Do you think Alonso is the problem? i don't think so, the team is limping and i don't think it's just a management problem.

[dollyamo]

Right now the pressure has just mounted to the extent that victory on any of the uefa champions League games or in the Spanish laliga will be very helpful to reduce the pressure on xabi Alonso because in my own opinion, what makes things now difficult and his future looked into is when his real Madrid team fell four points behind after leading by five points earlier on, so I don't see a victory in this game saving the job of xabi Alonso on the longer run if his team does not go on 10 to fifteen games winning streak, because victory alone against Manchester City will on buys him time, not securing his future at the club, unless they goes on a winning streak, starting from this game, because that's alone will correct so many things that has gone wrong already on their standing in the league table and in the uefa champions League.

Xabi Alonso is facing a period of intense pressure, does this fall on the team in your opinion?
If he can't contain the defeats and recover quickly, he certainly won't return to the top of the table and in the Champions League he won't bring any positive results.

He still has time available to get back to playing well and bring results, but if there is no improvement from the next two games, the result will get complicated.

[liasbaa]

To be fair Real Madrid will be fine in UCL even if they lose because of the results they got earlier, they are going to be in the top 24 already and that is good enough for them. So even if there is a loss against City, which would be emotionally not good, the reality is that it doesn't impact anything, plus they still have games left over after this one so it should be fine for them in any case. I would say la liga is more important because this period where they went from 5 points ahead to now 4 points behind is a 9 point gap, and terrible and needs fixing.

You may be right, as Real Madrid still have games against Monaco (at home) and Benfica (away), where they should get 6 points (with maximum motivation), which will secure them a place in the top 8. But it's still better to win today to get 15 points and break away from a large group of teams. This will allow them to better manage their strength in the Champions League and La Liga, where Real Madrid is clearly experiencing problems.

So far, they've only lost to Liverpool and won all their other matches. Tonight's game will be very important, and I'm sure it will be very enjoyable.

The match is very important for Real Madrid and Man City but even though Real is ahead in the statistics, Man City has a much higher chance of winning. Some are predicting that the match will be draw. Although Real Madrid is one of my favourite teams the team has become so uncertain that they cannot be confident of winning. Even the gamblers may not want to bet on them. Man City is a strong team but if the day is against them Real Madrid may win by more than one goal. They have the possibility of winning as well as the possibility of losing. I think the match will be an exciting and enjoyable match as well as an important one for both teams.

But why did Madrid's strong attack lineup fail to play well? The Madrid management needs to find out the reason.

Real Madrid should be very careful with the smaller teams. i wouldn't even have considered Celta Vigo in a hypothetical defeat. If they don't wake up soon, i fear that this year will be a disaster for them, and considering the players they have in their squad, that's not normal.

[Slow death]

The most important thing for now is for Madrid to go into the match against Manchester City with their defense in bad shape because this result could make or break their mentality quickly depending on the final result.

Their last 2 Champions League matches have been favorites to win but when the situation of some players, especially in terms of injuries and mentality, cannot be unraveled from the beginning, this could be a problem for themselves.
The match against Manchester City at the bernabeu could be crucial and if it is not handled well then it could affect their performance going forward.

Fortunately for Real Madrid, the game will be at home, because if it were away the situation could be much worse. But since the game is at home, Real Madrid can fight to at least get a draw. Manchester City has been doing poorly when playing away from home this season, which is why I see this game as very unpredictable, with both teams very unstable defensively. Either team could win today, and even if they did, it wouldn't mean the winning team would be champions. I personally won't bet on this game.

Kylian Mbappé will play according to Fabrizio Romano, but Eduardo Camavinga will not play. He has been injured a lot lately.

Real Madrid have had a few disappointing matches, but they can gradually improve. Today they have an opportunity, and if they beat Manchester City at home, they can get back into form. We know that Real Madrid is one of the strongest teams in Spain, and this Champions League match will be one of their most serious tests.
