La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[EL MOHA]

My expectations for Barcelona in their last home game of the year was not reached, I was expecting that Barcelona would give us a goal show and make it very easy from the beginning to the end, I really wanted to be entertained since they did not do that in their last UEFA champions league match.
It's became even more difficult for Barcelona as time went and they hadn't yet scored the opener, the first goal from Raphina was more like a relief then the second goal was really not expected, regardless three points for Barcelona.

Osasuna comes to camp nou to play a defensive game because since from the first half Barcelona have been performing very great and dominating the game is just that they don't have much opportunity to break Osasuna defence easily and even the Rafinha goals was unexpected because he shoot the ball outside the box and give them the league, Rafinha is not getting full 90 mint anymore since he came back from injuring I think is not yet that fit and Hansi Flick will now focus on next week game against CD guadalajara in the Copa Del and that is a easy win for Barcelona and I don't think Hansi Flick will put is best players in the match because they are facing villarreal next weekend and they are playing away and that game will be a tough match for them to achieve the three point.

It is now up to Real Madrid to close the gap on Barcelona when they play Alaves tomorrow. Barcelona are now seven points ahead of Real Madrid and if they drop any more points, we could see Barca run away with the title. However, Real Madrid have been struggling lately, with their most recent defeat in the champions league against City.

Nobody is even sure if Real can get the three points, especially with the fitness of Mbappe in doubt, he was out of the City game with a knock, i don't know if he is fit now.

Raphinha has yet again, proven himself strong and capable enough to remain the Brain box of the team's performance. He was spectacular tonight, but he wouldn't achieve so much without a host of other players in their starting 11. To be honest, I never thought they'd make it to defeat Osasuna so easily, but the outcome is mind blowing.
Barcelona is improving and I love the pace at which the whole team is willing to grow with Flick, and the fact that he carries everyone along this process or growth. Rashy has developed a lot and the team might even decide to seal his deal next summer?

Barcelona 2 Vs Ossasuna 0 FT
Barcelona best player saves the day again for his team. Earlier on, Barcelona were sloppy in the first half as they failed to score in the first half which was always common for them. It even took them more time in the second half before they finally broke the dead luck. Raphinha again, twice. I knew once his back into the team, they are going to be more fierce. I would say that Ossasuna tried to keep the score line respectable, if not it would have easily turned to 4 or 5 goals scored.

Raphina is back and better in his goal scoring quality. He gave them the victory at the right time and thwarted all Osasuna efforts of drawing the game. Barcelona deserves the victory because they took possession of the ball from the beginning to the end with endless attacks. Barcelona continues to keep it real on top of the table.

Raphinha is back and Barcelona continues to win. His two beautiful goals secured three points for Barcelona, ​​keeping them in an advantageous position for the championship. The points Barcelona gained in weeks where Real Madrid lost have put them in this position today. The rivalry between perhaps the strongest teams in Spain is unfolding similarly this year. It's certainly enjoyable to watch this competition. Osasuna showed no presence throughout the match and tried to neutralize Barcelona's attacks.

We see that Atletico Madrid also gained points this week. Also, Real Madrid has a match tomorrow, and the Spanish league battle will continue.

 I thought Barcelona could be in a better position in the Champions League right now... They just suffered some surprising point losses there, and I think they will win their last two matches.

I like the fact that you're being honest to yourself. I'm not expecting anything better to happen, cause I know it doesn't just happen like magic. When the will power doesn't equal the mental strength and tactics of the team, nothing happens. Madrid is currently very poor defensively and it has affected their long-term failure. That's not a team that should even beg to a draw against divisional teams-- they should confident enough to come out, play a good game and be assured of their winning, because that's the only reason why they're the only competitor in the El clasico.
Let's not conclude, especially since losing will cost them their position in the league table. Maybe they can still hold on a bit more without just giving out a free pass to Villarreal?!.

I missed the game because I was very busy, but I knew that Barcelona would definitely win that game. That is why, even after I saw the result of the game, I was not moved, as I knew they had given Real Madrid another distance in points again.

All I will say is that it’s a good performance from Barcelona today in a home game, and they should be more consistent if they really want to win that trophy. Maybe Real Madrid will soon be back on track, and any mistake from Barcelona will not be a good one.

Barcelona team lost badly to the opposing team Osasuna team, they could not create any attacking opportunities in this match. In this match, Barcelona team made 24 kicks towards the goal post and Osasuna team made three attacks. So this game created the most gap, Barcelona kept the ball in control. They never gave the opposing team a chance, so although the winning margin of this match was not very big, the margin of the game was the largest, so those who bet on this match won the easiest way for Barcelona team.

Barcelona 2 Vs Ossasuna 0 FT
Barcelona best player saves the day again for his team.

First game in a while with clean sheet for Barcelona  . I was expecting atleast goal from Osasuna but I was fully disappointed  .
Rapha is one of the club strength, when it’s comes to delivering at crucial moments this guy always step up.. although he surely does have some floppy side, for example their last game ..The position changed tonight, though, you could see yamal and Rapha switching side, yamal performed brilliantly in the mid while Rapha got the brace.. MOTM for Yamal des.
Tonight’s game was total domination with a touch of  wastage. Flick needs to dedicate a session just for mastering goals scoring

[EFS]

The goals came really late. Big teams struggle when they can't score early against teams like Osasuna that close down too much. Luckily, Raphinha saved the day. At least Barca didn't concede today. They conceded goals in all of recent games.

Now it's Real's turn to worry. Barca is comfortable at the top. There's a big match next week, that'll be almost as tough as El Clasico.

Meanwhile, we have other players that deserves credit as well.. Someone like Lamine Yamal who tried all he could to hit the target with so many shots from outside the box, but the keeper did well to block them. I feel like he's begining to lose credibility and the hype was very unnecessary for a player of his age. Infact, the club was too quick to make that decision of giving him the number 10 shirt.  Not because he's not good enough, but because that might influence his performance and make him try to compete with the last shirt bearer (of which he'll never out play). I can't remember the last time he scored for the team, but I hope he comes back fully in form as they have more important matches ahead!

Ossasuna played well so Barcelona were goalless in the first half. This problem is an old disease of Barcelona, you are right Barcelona have fallen into a trend of not scoring in the first half and it will have a very bad effect on the team. If indecisiveness in the D-box in high-voltage matches is a risk for a big team. It is a kind of weakness in a team that wins matches by relying on only one or two players. Rafinha played well but the team performance was not worth seeing. In that case, Rafinha is not only a goalscorer, but also a game changer.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Tomorrow's match between Real Madrid and Alaves will be much more interesting because if Real Madrid loses, I think Alonso will most likely be fired, as it seems that he has lost control of the team.

A Real Madrid victory is highly anticipated, but no one, including their coach, can guarantee it. Real Madrid's chances of winning are very reasonable, but Alavés also have a well-thought-out plan at home. So far, Alaves is known as one of the teams with a strong defense, they only conceded 15 goals in 15 matches, only they do not have good sharpness in scoring goals.

Madrid were missing a lot of players for this game apart from injuries, they also lost Carreras and Fran Garcia to red cards but Huijsen could be back in the match and Valverde's right-back position will definitely be filled.

However, it's a bit of a challenge as their defense is lacking at the moment and Xabi might have to try some new things for this match to minimize the gaps in the defense to fill them up.
Mbappe may also be able to play after the previous match against Manchester City he was allowed to rest.

A win is an absolute must because if they fail to get the full points again in this match then it will be even harder for Madrid to stay in the race and it will also be fatal for Xabi as a coach.

The type of haram ball that Osasuna played today need to be studied. Why will they play 6 backs against Barcelona, it's like they were not looking for a win. Hadn't been they score Barcelona first, they would have defended that goal till full time. This is why I hardly watch la Liga matches. But kudos to the Barca team they were composed today even though the first was not that good but they played the ball with patience and found way to break that Osasuna defense. Raphina and pedri were fantastic today, I didn't even understand why they gave lamine yamal the MVP today.

Raphina is back and better in his goal scoring quality. He gave them the victory at the right time and thwarted all Osasuna efforts of drawing the game. Barcelona deserves the victory because they took possession of the ball from the beginning to the end with endless attacks. Barcelona continues to keep it real on top of the table.

Raphinha proved himself and the armband he wears today. Osasuna has always being a difficult crack down for Barcelona, enduring through the first half without getting a single goal and in the second half, Raphinha made it his mission to ensure he nets goals for Barcelona.

He started by calculating the goalkeepers position and took that long ranged shot, all the way from the mid field but, it was off target. Next, he took a shot from outside the box and gave Barcelona their first goal, took a second ball from a back pass and found the net yet again.

His second goal ended the game for Osasuna, Barcelona’s play remains top notch.

[Sandra_hakeem]

The goals came really late. Big teams struggle when they can't score early against teams like Osasuna that close down too much. Luckily, Raphinha saved the day. At least Barca didn't concede today. They conceded goals in all of recent games.

What do you mean "luckily"? That wasn't luck my man, that was top performance with the readiness to win, only that they took so much time to understand the game and level down with the pressure. So your first point is correct, but for being lucky with two goals? I think this was a straight win ahead.

Now it's Real's turn to worry. Barca is comfortable at the top. There's a big match next week, that'll be almost as tough as El Clasico.

The Copa del Rey? Of course that's going to be another tough one to conquer. But the business has them covered in 2 separate leagues already, Madrid better finds a way to win or accept a new spot on the 3rd position soon.

Alaves vs Madrid

At the moment when Alonso is trying to build a very consistent team, an injury storm has once again hit Madrid, and some players are also suspended. Most likely, in this match Alonso will have to reshuffle the lineup using the available players, which makes the outcome hard to predict.

Based on my gut feeling, Madrid could concede a goal, or at least a draw might happen.

So, what do you guys think?

Rafinha played well but the team performance was not worth seeing. In that case, Rafinha is not only a goalscorer, but also a game changer.

A trend of not scoring in the first half? I think you need to examine Barcelona results. Most of their matches have seen goals in the first half, so it's not enough to say they won the game only in the second half. In this match, we all know Osasuna is not an easy opponent; they performed well last season. And I also disagree that Barcelona only relies on two players. Just look at their scoreboard, every line can score.

Yes when Raphinha plays, there’s this aura that flows; until the end it’s never over. I love Raphinha for what he brings to the team and how he delivers his play, obviously injury can’t hold him down, it only slowed his progress but he’ll surely get back at the top with the numbers. Fantastic player, good performance Barcelona valid and worthy three points for the blaugrana.
Osasuna has always been a stubborn nut to crack for big teams, today they wanted to frustrate Barcelona but they weren’t successful.
Hansi Flick is a very good coach, he understands his responsibilities very well and gives out his best, his relationship and communication with the players is top notch.
