La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Different patterns]

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.

Right now, Real Madrid don't have the time to be feeling sorry for themselves, it's time to come up with a strategy that will brake defense because their game against Manchester city won't be an easy one even though it will be played at home.  They need to try as much as possible to at least go for a draw, because the chances of Manchester city winning this game is very high considering the injured players.  But I believe in the team if they can work hard to score more and more goals, they can do it.

[m4r1o]

Because if these three things are not combined well, it is certain that the team that is able to dominate the ball will have difficulty scoring goals, and that is what happened to Real Madrid in the match against Celta. But even so, let all this pass, because even though Real Madrid is a big team in La Liga, it is normal for them to experience a slump like this. Because the most important thing is that Real Madrid is able to learn from all of this. Because basically, they can still continue to rise even though it is difficult. And the most important thing is that Real Madrid must not give up, that is the foundation that I think must be maintained.

They are always exciting victories, in fact you always have to see when a team that is smaller than the other wins it is always exciting, obviously here we are literally talking about a giant like Real Madrid which in comparison is truly enormous, having said that i also like to see it from the side of Celta, good that they won

[YUriy1991]

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.

For that match, I was very disappointed with the referee's leadership who made a decision that was very detrimental to Real Madrid. The Real Madrid squad played well and worked hard enough to get out under pressure, but the match was ruined by Alejandro Quintero Gonzalez's decision which was very unfair in my opinion. So it broke the players' concentration and made the rhythm of the game lose important momentum. It is indeed very unfortunate that Madrid had to lose 0-2 at home in front of the Madridistas who came to the Bernabéu Stadium, but true fans must move on and look forward because the next match is also a big match against the visiting team Manchester City who is currently Prime in the Premier League.

I have predicted that game for Real Madrid to win. Manchester City is good in the Premier League in this season but they have not tp the season position and Real Madrid is also good in the LaLiga and they had been on the top in the season. And in the recent games played by the two teams, Real Madrid has not given a chance to Manchester City to watch their matches. Though football prediction can give you the opposite but Real Madrid win the game.

When I hears some persons say the league still has some more weeks ahead that they have some time on their side, I just hope Madrid is not having such mindsets like the fans or people who proport they have time because it is only few weeks away and we are already halfway the season and any team that has not been able to fix themselves to stability may just be risking that which they aim to achieve this season, and for a big team like Madrid, they need do some more work than they have been doing before.

I have predicted that game for Real Madrid to win. Manchester City is good in the Premier League in this season but they have not tp the season position and Real Madrid is also good in the LaLiga and they had been on the top in the season. And in the recent games played by the two teams, Real Madrid has not given a chance to Manchester City to watch their matches. Though football prediction can give you the opposite but Real Madrid win the game.

Last week I considered Real Madrid as the favorite in this match. But now I will not call Madrid the favorite.
Firstly, we know that Real Madrid is not in good form. Madrid has played badly in several matches in a row. Secondly and most importantly, 7 players from Madrid's squad will be absent from the match due to injury. 6 of these 7 are defenders. Militao, Camavinga, Alexander Arnold, Carvajal, Mendy, Huijsen and Alaba are all important players in Madrid's squad. Madrid's defense today has no other experienced player except Rudiger. Even midfielder Valverde will probably be seen in the RB position today. Is it possible to resist City with such a faint  defense?

[changaa]

The match was truly surprising, as everyone was fully supporting Real Madrid, but Celta unexpectedly played a very aggressive game. I'm not entirely sure why Celta won this match, but after watching Celta's recent matches, their team seems to have shown significant improvement. Perhaps that's one of the reasons they were able to win against a team as strong as Real Madrid. Furthermore, Celta certainly had strong motivation in this match to win.

Players from underdog teams are usually more confident and fearless when facing big teams. They believe they won't be embarrassed even if they lose. That, in my opinion, is the foundation that strengthens Celta's decisive victory against Real Madrid. So, I'm truly delighted to see a weak team beat a strong team, as it truly proves that La Liga is a very competitive football league. Because it must feel boring when you see a big team like Real Madrid keep winning. So when something like this happens, it feels more exciting in my opinion, so what do you think about this?

Celta Vigo certainly played better than Real Madrid, 5 shots on goal and 42% possession, they made 16 fewer shots than Real Madrid, but they played aggressively, in fact they committed 12 fouls.
They took advantage of Real Madrid's precarious conditions and played strategically.

[jakdanyel]

My predictions about Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid this week:

- Atletico Madrid should be able to defeat Valencia home. They really need this win after 2 losses in a row. Maybe you can say those were tough matches but they should have been able to fight back at least.  

- Barcelona have a really easy one against Osasuna at Camp Nou. I just expect nothing different than a win by at least a two-goal gap.

- Real Madrid are away against Alaves. Of course it is obvious who should win. But recently things are really shaky there so I would still avoid betting on Real Madrid for a while.

[bastisisca]

The first shame for Real Madrid but while continuing to try to score goals, they were seen to be aggressive and angry. Fran García was sent off in the 64th minute of the match with a red card. They was not getting any chances and continued to try desperately to score. Another defender Álvaro Carreras saw another red card in extra time. Real Madrid were reduced to a team of 9 men and another goal conceded and left the field with a defeat. It was a shameful match for Real Madrid.

Yes, it was truly a shameful match. Receiving two red cards means that there are problems in the team and that the players ultimately commit fouls for various reasons, obviously out of frustration and aggression due to the fact that they are not at their best.
This is not a good thing and in fact the team lost and will be penalized in the next matches.

- Atletico Madrid should be able to defeat Valencia home. They really need this win after 2 losses in a row. Maybe you can say those were tough matches but they should have been able to fight back at least.  

- Barcelona have a really easy one against Osasuna at Camp Nou. I just expect nothing different than a win by at least a two-goal gap.

- Real Madrid are away against Alaves. Of course it is obvious who should win. But recently things are really shaky there so I would still avoid betting on Real Madrid for a while.

Valencia are unbeaten in their last four matches. Draw three and win one. Atletico Madrid have lost their last two matches. Valencia will aim to draw this match. It is easy to predict that Valencia will play defensively. Atletico Madrid must win. But the team's forward players are not in good form. So securing 3 points is going to be a bit difficult for Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona are in great form. We have not seen them lose points in any match for a long time. Not being able to play consistently well. Osasuna is not a weak team but Barcelona has more chances to win. Both the defense and the forwards are very strong in Barcelona right now.

Real Madrid matches are difficult to predict. 7 players of the squad are injured. 6 defenders will also be absent for this match against Alaves. It is impossible to predict how Madrid will perform in such conditions.

[giorgione]

Is Real Madrid currently not going through a winning streak or are they losing because of their own mistakes? I am having a hard time understanding this. The reason for saying this is that they may underestimate their opponents which is why they have such results or maybe there is some kind of conflict going on within their team. Real Madrid plays very well in some matches but suddenly they lose against small teams or matches that Real Madrid seems to be winning.

They have been going through such situations for some days and such performances and situations of big teams like them never go with their team. If they do this in 1 or 2 matches then maybe it is okay but they have been going through such situations for a long time

It could also be due to the fact that they are underestimating their opponents, in fact i think that is precisely why these things happen, now i am more and more convinced that these guys are doing a job below their capabilities and are doing nothing to be concrete, however we remain attentive and also expect the possibility of a great comeback of Real Madrid

[ASloveapg]

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.

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.

You are right that Real Madrid were the favourites in this match. Madrid would do well at home, that was what Madrid fans expected. On the other hand, Celta Vigo is not a good team. But it has been proven once again that nothing is impossible on the field of play. Real had drawn three matches in a row and then won the match against Athletic Club. But their consistency did not continue. They admitted defeat in this match. Losing to a team like Celta Vigo at this stage is a big mental blow for them. However, for Celta Vigo, winning this match is like the joy of getting a trophy. Losing to Celta Vigo made Madrid lose points and made the competition with Barcelona even more difficult. Later, there are doubts about whether Real Madrid will be able to maintain the top second place in the points table or not.

The difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona at the moment is not very big, just 4 points I don't think it will make a big difference between them, but yes it is true that Real Madrid will now be a little behind in terms of points table, now Villarreal's match will start, and right now Villarreal is only 1 point behind Real Madrid, so if Villarreal wins this match they will overtake Real Madrid, and they will go to second place in the points table. But I believe that Real Madrid will be able to get themselves back again, Real Madrid is a very strong team and they will definitely be able to recover themselves.

[el kaka22]

Real Madrid definitely needs to recover, losing that many points in such a short span of time will not end well for them and it is a trouble they are facing at the moment. However, what we are seeing from them isn't new, they are facing the most famous thing which is players and manager not getting along and that happens all the time.

Xabi is new, and he is not that old neither, so players are not seeing him as that great and working against them, whereas Xabi is angry that the players are not doing what he tells them to do because at Leverkusen players did and they won, so he thinks he can make Real Madrid win if they only do what he says. This type of relationship drama happens all the time and not new, happening as of right now in many different clubs as we speak.

[m4r1o]

..and in that match Real Madrid had to lose two players due to red cards, so that's where Celta Vigo took advantage of the opportunity to win the match, so from that result Madrid had to be willing to be left behind by 4 points from Barcelona, so with the result of the defeat, the fate of coach Xabi Alonso is increasingly threatened and will most likely be replaced, because currently Real Madrid is in the worst game and this must be addressed immediately so that they can return to the winning track.

Now you can no longer say that a match is a foregone conclusion and this is proof of that, these guys had the chance to show everyone that football is a beautiful game by winning a match that was destined to be lost, now this Real Madrid team would do well to do some calculations and understand if it is the case to continue playing like this

[Rgram]

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.

I know Madrid will find it very difficult in this game. They have a lot to do at the back if they really want to get a good result against Manchester. With so many key defenders missing, the team will struggle to stay solid and organized. Every mistake at the back could be costly, and they will have to work extra hard to isolate Haland. Manchester city is a team that scores easily, so Madrid’s defense will be under constant pressure, making it even more difficult for them to get a positive result.

[martinom]

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.

Come on, are we even thinking the coach might be fired?
I think you're exaggerating.
We're in a period of decline, so i wouldn't sell the bear's skin before killing the bearin this case, Xabi Alonso.
Honestly i think there is no problem about it.

[rachael9385]

Manchester city is a team that scores easily, so Madrid’s defense will be under constant pressure, making it even more difficult for them to get a positive result.

I also think it's going to be tough for Madrid to win as well even though they seem to be in a better form than Manchester city but for the fact that they are not really playing with a team in the la liga. my prediction for the game is a btts option, Madrid are definitely going to concede but they are also going to score as well. football can be unpredictable sometimes, all we can do is make our own analysis

[MAAManda]

Atletico Madrid should be able to defeat Valencia home. They really need this win after 2 losses in a row. Maybe you can say those were tough matches but they should have been able to fight back at least.

Playing in front of their fans, they should be able to secure an easy win when they face Valencia. Their win against PSV is another reason why they should have won at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Barcelona have a really easy one against Osasuna at Camp Nou. I just expect nothing different than a win by at least a two-goal gap.

Based on the odds in the handicap bet, Barcelona should not win by 2, but by 3 goals. If it was only a 2 goal difference, I think a lot of fans would be disappointed with the result.

Real Madrid are away against Alaves. Of course it is obvious who should win. But recently things are really shaky there so I would still avoid betting on Real Madrid for a while.

First of all, let's look at their match result today, if it ends badly, I think the bad trend will continue again in La Liga for them.

[Antotena]

I have predicted that game for Real Madrid to win. Manchester City is good in the Premier League in this season but they have not tp the season position and Real Madrid is also good in the LaLiga and they had been on the top in the season. And in the recent games played by the two teams, Real Madrid has not given a chance to Manchester City to watch their matches. Though football prediction can give you the opposite but Real Madrid win the game.

Have you forgotten so soon what was happening between Real Madrid and Manchester city in the previous seasons? In case you forgot, Manchester City has been removed by Real Madrid in Semi final and that pain is one thing they don't want to forget and similarly Manchester City has kicked out Real Madrid in the Champions League. This their meeting is now consider as people that want to settle a score they had before, it's more like a revenge in this match.

Not to mentioned that Gurdiola has coach Real Madrid before, it's like an old self meeting his previous team, he is trying to break down what he built today and not just that, he is meeting an old friend in another club with another boys. There is lot coming from Real Madrid that is getting back to Gurdiola, he is challenging the team but I know there is nothing that is going to satisfy him and make him feel good if they beat Real Madrid today.

[verdinio]

I think the priority scale is the same for a team as big as Real Madrid, but this isn't about position security, but rather about prestige and the team's performance in the upcoming Premier League match against Manchester City. It's even possible that this could put Xabi Alonso's position at stake, which is increasingly threatened due to poor performances in recent matches.

I think winning the La Liga title is increasingly difficult for Real Madrid. I say this because their rivals are increasingly consistent. Although Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in El Clasico, Barcelona has continued to improve and become more consistent since then. So, hoping for Barcelona to lose consistency and hoping for Real Madrid to bounce back is a difficult proposition, with a small percentage.

I say that you should never give up on Real Madrid and that even when they seem injured they are ready to do terrible things to their opponents. They are certainly going through a bad period and this team seems unrecognisable, but they can still wake up and do what they do best.
