La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[yudi09]

Real Madrid is currently going through a difficult period and is out of form. Xabi Alonso is under immense pressure. The defeat to Manchester City has significantly reduced Alonso's credibility. However, after the match, the players emphasized that they stand by Alonso and will overcome this situation together.

I think this was a valuable message, and if they are going to turn things around, they need to start with this match. I expect them to break their streak of bad luck in the away game against Alaves. They are likely to play with extra motivation. In my opinion, Alaves is one of the worst teams in the league, especially in attack. I think Real Madrid will get the result with their effective attacking players.

Starting with the defeat to Liverpool, which was followed by two more losses. Before the defeat to Manchester City, Alonso had to accept defeat to Celta Vigo, which was a tense match at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Alonso deserves support because the players are aware that managing Real Madrid is a huge responsibility, considering that Alonso is new to the Santiago Bernabeu as a coach.

Deportivo Alaves is not a team that is considered a strong opponent for Real Madrid. In 16 meetings, Alaves has only won twice, with the rest going to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's situation is being questioned after two defeats, but with the head-to-head record against Deportivo Alaves, Xabi does not want Real Madrid to suffer another defeat. A win would be a good boost for the players and for Xabi himself, as it could improve the situation.

[Different patterns]

Raphinha's two goals in the second half completely defeated Osasuna, as the visitors couldn't equalize in the short time remaining after Raphinha's second goal. And if we look at the ability, there is indeed a huge difference between Barcelona and Osasuna, as this was clearly evident in their possession and the attacks Barcelona built against Osasuna. And thanks to that victory, Barcelona is now even more solid at the top of the standings, making it difficult for Real Madrid and other teams to catch up on the points Barcelona has currently earned.

Beautiful goal from Raphinha at second half match assist from Pedri just need one touch for ball controlling before shooting out side penalty box failed catch by Osasuna goal keeper. Actually first half match Osasuna playing well and success played full defense how to make Barcelona get difficulty for scoring goals, but the second half match played more defense make Barcelona easily controlling the games and first goals from Raphinha make easily to score second goals.
Three points by defeating Osasuna make Barcelona untouchable for leading the top position with 7 points remaining awhile and Madrid has one match left at tomorrow night, Real Madrid will face Alaves and must get three points if won't seeing Barcelona more comfortable to lead top position standings.

Everybody love Yamal more but Yamal’s private life will probably ruin him soon.football is a game that requires discipline. in my opinion Barcelona’s best player is not Yamal. it’s Pedri and Raphinha. Pedri especially is playing very well. it is so easy to understand the huge difference between Barcelona with Pedri and Barcelona without him.

I can't imagine the way Real Madrid suddenly drop points and are been left behind by Barcelona with an increasing point gap. And the funny thing now is, Madrid now have injured defenders which have cost them both in champions League and laliga. If Madrid fails to win this coming game,then this season is going to be a long one for them, they need to really work on themselves before it's too late, Barcelona are not just trying to win the league they want to win it by a high point margin, Xabi Alonso needs to prove them wrong and win coming match to the the title race going,becatthe pressure is mounting and if they continue like this even the second place will be hard to maintain. So injury is a problem but shouldn't stop the team from competing for the title race,I believe a strategy can be put in place to at least keep the team going, Real Madrid have players that have experience, so I believe the management can do something to this, the team cannot just keep struggling the way they have been struggling honestly,it's very disheartening. I predict at least 2-1 in favour of Real Madrid for the coming game.

This game looks much tougher to me than the fixture might suggest. Alaves are very well organised at home, solid at the back and capable of creating chances going forward. Real Madrid are going through a difficult period right now: pressure on the coach, injuries, and an unstable defence. At the same time, their attacking quality is still there. I expect a tight, competitive match where the hosts take their chances and the visitors respond through individual quality. For me, both teams to score looks like the most logical outcome.

Every team has great moments and every team has bad moments. Barcelona didn't started that great neither, and nobody acted like they were shocked, and now we see Real Madrid doing bad and everyone acts like it's a big deal. Who knows in 10 game time that we will not see Real Madrid at the top with some margin?

I mean I am not saying that will be the case but there is no way of knowing if that will be or not, it's all up to just time, give it enough time and we will see it. Which is why I think it's quite important to not judge anything just yet, we can still see them do fine until end of the season.

Real Madrid should play their very best to avoid defeat in the game game if they like their manager if they lose it will be left for the management to decide if they will keep Xabi Alonso or sack him .

Madrid will definitely win this match as it's is important for the team and Xabi Alonso. Alaves is a weak team compare to Madrid. They had no good record against Madrid. There last 6 matches have favored Madrid with Madrid winning in all. Although Madrid performed poorly recently in their last two matches but I believe they will perform better to win tonight.

Now it's not all about proven themselves because situation is tricky, and they are losing their chances Xabi Alonso is also had no enough chance if he fails to deliver there is no doubt injuries list are going long still they needed to be had their best in tonight and few other games otherwise it's going to be problematic because Barcelona is now clearly at the top without any pressure.

Today Real Madrid entering into ground with their best because now they understand not more poor results Alaves is decent side, but they have no good performance against Real Madrid in last few games even at home today can they bring their best or Real Madrid will be able to have back in good with bang it's going to be interesting.

Xabi Alonso is really on a very tough time in the club, and he needs to prove himself worthy of this managerial position. By so doing, he needs to win in most of the matches he’s going to be playing henceforth, especially those ones that he stands a chance more for a win than the opponent they’re facing. Alaves shouldn't be a team that a draw will be the expected outcome of the game, they’re better than them very well. The match seems to look very intensified with both teams having the potential to score a goal. In the end, the ultimate outcome of the game should just be that they remain undefeated and come out victorious in this match.

Mbappe is always the goal opener in most of Real Madrid matches this season. He has broken the deadlock on the 24th minutes with a clinical finish to give his club the 1-0 lead. Mbappe have scored a total of 17 goals this season in Laliga. This is a big achievement for him because he still has more goals to score before the end of the season.

Real Madrid is winning with a goal and Mbbape made it to the back of the net and the way it is going now it is obvious and clear that Real Madrid will win this game unless as football is so unpredictable because anything can happen even in the last minute of the game but this game in particular I don't think that will happen today because Real Madrid will try all their possible best to win this game and I'm so happy that Mbbape is playing, he is going to make the Winning so easy for Real Madrid and on a normal Alaves is not their mate so it is a must win game for Real Madrid.

Fortunately, the first goal of Real Madrid has been confirmed and their opponent Alaves have not taken the lead in this game so far despite their tenacity in the game. There is still lots of chance for an equalizer and also a possible comeback into this game by Alaves since we are still very much in the first half of the game. We have a whole 45 minutes awaiting us in the second half even though they can’t get an equalizer in the first half of the game. The match looks to be a very tough one for Alaves also but if they can be able to hold up the pressure of Real Madrid in this first half and gives no room for more goals, then they can actually get to score in this game before the end of the game.

Alaves 0 Vs Real Madrid 1
Real Madrid after the goal just went blank and right now it's Alaves that's detecting and controlling the game with Real Madrid chasing after the ball almost endlessly. It's frustrating to see Real Madrid been relaxed just after scoring one goal and it's not even a big team they are up against. It's just as if with the way they are playing, they are just waiting for a counter against Alaves. Real Madrid should better wake up and play football.

I learnt that Xabi Alonso was given an Ultimatum in this game against Deportivo Alavés by the club's management so i can really see the pressure on him and it is also good to know that Real Madrid is one goal ahead in this game after Kylian Mbappe scored in the 24th minute of play. Desportivo Alaves can be very technical at times so Real Madrid players needs to be very vigilant and avoid anything that will lead to a red card in this game. Am saying this based on what happened in the last La Liga match between Celta Vigo and Real Madrid so they really need to be extremely careful so that they don't put Xabi Alonso at the risk of facing a sack if he losses and plays draw against Desportivo.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I bet this match will be surprising for us, in a way where we can say that it’s finished for Real Madrid and Xavi or it will be the beginning of something different. Without forgetting the amount of injuries with Madrid’s side.

The game has kicked off and Madrid are now 1 goal up thanks to Mbappe who scored the opening goal of the game.
The situation is still a good one despite the doubts we have as we can see some players in the line-up and some Castilla players in the reserves due to injuries and accumulated cards.

Their left-back is missing as Mendi is still injured, Fran Garcia and Carreras were also red-carded at the same time which gives Valdepenas a chance here.
But he's been good so far and this could be a good thing for some of the younger players who do get a chance to play for the senior club as it could give them more game time.
I'm quite optimistic about the 3 points now because inevitably they have to get them.

[jostorres]

Atletico Bilbao had to accept defeat against Celta Vigo, they were unable to withstand an attack from Celta and that resulted in 2 goals directly against them. In this match Celta Vigo played more effectively by taking advantage of fast attacks, and the weakness of Atletico Bilbao's defense made it difficult for Bilbao to control their game.
In this case, Atletico Bilbao appeared less solid in anticipating Celta Vigo's attacks and their coordination was very poor, this allowed Celta Vigo to maximize their play and pressure Bilbao throughout the match.
With this win, Celta Vigo managed to gain three more points, after previously defeating Real Madrid, and this moved them to eighth in the standings.

Celta Vigo is doing impressive job while in last four games they are having 3 wins and 9 points mean they have enough to show after having big win against Real Madrid at Bernabéu they were looking impressive at home against Athletic Bilbao their attack and defense was on good balance.

In first half Athletic Bilbao was looking much better and organized but in second half things were not on track and Celta Vigo was in better control Nico Williams missed penalty increase pressure, and they were looking not a top team in these situations now with this level of performance Celta Vigo have better chance of staying into good position because they have enough team depth.

It's no surprise that Madrid weren't playing at their best. We know what happened to them, but I'm glad they scored in the first half, as it means they're one step closer to getting all three points. However, knowing Alavés played well, there's a chance they could concede in the second half. With the signs already visible, Xabi needs to take precautions in the second half.

[Abdulzuruku01]

The first half has ended between Alaves and Real Madrid. Alaves have played a good game despite being one goal down. Real Madrid deserved the lead as they've been playing a wonderful game, and they look stronger than Alaves. Alaves has a solid defensebut Kylian Mbappe still found a way to score a brilliant goal. It's difficult to predict the outcome of this match now because with the way Alaves put in efforts in the first half, if they can improve more, I'm sure they can stop Real Madrid from getting the victory.

[Adbitco]

And the players are not playing as if they are part of the problem that Alonso is having, I was watching the game and was a little impressed with how the players were attacking and looking for open spaces to exploit so they can score. On the 23rd minute, Real Madrid got their break through as Mbappe netted and from that moment on till after the HT whistle, Real Madrid was just chasing the ball. It's annoying because this is suppyto be a must win game and the opponent they are up against is one they would have dismantled in the first half. The absence of LB and RB should not even be an excuse for them because the players on the pitch are way more than Alaves starting eleven. W
At a point, I was even hoping for Alaves to score so that Real Madrid could sit up and play seriously.

[redhack]

Someone said Mbappe was injured and wouldn't play, I read that just before the match. But Mbappe is healthy and on the field, and he scored a goal. They're playing with Vinicius as a double forward. It's a typical 4-4-2. Young Valde is at left back.
Alaves is very ineffective in the match. They didn't give many chances, but they can't create any either. Real Madrid will soon score their second goal and relax. They won't lose points in this match. We may see Diaz and Mastantuono as subs soon.
