La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[YUriy1991]

Xabi Alonso is not used to managing a team filled with star players. We know that at Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso himself sometimes faces his own challenges when deciding which players deserve to start or when rotating the lineup. Managing a team that already has high-quality players can sometimes be more difficult for a coach who lacks sufficient experience. Especially since this is the first major team Alonso has coached since Leverkusen. Therefore, expecting drastically higher results seems to place too much pressure on Alonso.

Today, Real Madrid will face Talavera in the Copa del Rey. And I think in a match like this, Alonso can try out some new things he wants to test.

Xabi Alonso has done a great job so far, he is a genius coach with impressive experience from coaching Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga. Currently at Real Madrid he is still facing a transition period, I think all coaches are the same. In my opinion, Xabi Alonso is still very good at coaching Real Madrid, there is no doubt about it. Real Madrid's current squad needs a major overhaul to be more solid, selfish players must be sold in this transfer market. Being in second place in the La Liga standings is still good for Real Madrid, I think the game is still long for this season. For the Copa del Rey match against Alavera, even though several players cannot play due to injury, Real Madrid looks like they will win easily.

Madrid don't need a major overhaul. They've majority of the best players in the world. What Madrid needs is a good defender to seal up the defense so that, their opponents will find it difficult from breaking through easily. The only player that has problem with the club is Vini. He should be sold if he doesn't accept his regular pay rate.

I agree with you that there is no need for major changes at Real Madrid. They just need to fix the problems they have. Regarding Vini, if he cannot be managed properly, even though he is talented, it is better not to keep him any longer. He could become a thorn in the side and cause chaos among the other players. Management must take firm decisions if the coach is unable to manage him properly. I think Xabi is still hoping Vini can lower his ego and work together for the success of Real Madrid, but it doesn't seem easy. Feeling like the best and being pampered will only make someone's ego even higher.

[ndutndut]

Yes, the next match will certainly not be easy for Real Madrid to win because Sevilla and Betis cannot be taken lightly as they are definitely stronger than Alaves. But for some reason, I have a feeling that Real Madrid will be able to win against Sevilla and Alaves, and I think Xabi will also try to improve Real Madrid's performance. So it seems I'll be betting on Real Madrid's victory. What about you?

He can't afford to miss, he can't make mistakes, even if he plays badly he has to win at all costs.

Let's be clear: Betis is a strong team, but they're certainly not a difficult one to face. Obviously, they shouldn't underestimate their opponents, or they risk doing damage.

Xabi Alonso's position as manager is currently under threat. Therefore, he must not only avoid the opportunities presented against Sevilla and Betis. Winning the next two matches is essential for Real Madrid to secure his position as manager. Losing any more points would leave Real Madrid even further behind Barcelona, ​​currently four points behind. Therefore a win for Real Madrid is a must to maintain their lead over Barcelona and maintain their hopes of winning the La Liga title.

Xabi continues to find a strong lineup for Real Madrid. Last week's match against Alaves was the first time Xabi fielded Rodrigo, Jude, Mbappé, and Vini together, and the result was positive as they secured a win against Alaves. So it's expected that Xabi will field the same lineup against Sevilla and Real Betis in the next matches.

[bitgolden]

I also think that Rodrygo needs space to try to bring the team forward as much as possible, if they let him play he can really do well, but if they don't let him play he will inevitably find another team, right now he can only hope to play, but it won't be easy

Rodrygo is not a player to be left standing, they still haven't figured it out and he gets very annoyed.
In my opinion if they still keep leaving him aside he will get tired and change teams, he has a lot of untapped talent, maybe he is in the wrong team or there are problems with the coach.

Rodrygo will find his place without a doubt, just not going to be quick. Xabi is still trying to learn the ropes of managing a huge club, he never had a job this big, and while Leverkusen was a great place to learn and get better, it did not teach him how to manage superstars, no player in that team was near the player levels of Real Madrid, even wirtz became not good when he moved to Liverpool, so we are seeing Xabi managing players at levels he never managed before. Rodrygo issue will be solved, it just needs time.

Feeling like the best and being pampered will only make someone's ego even higher.

When it comes to Real Madrid's future and team cohesion, no player should be forced to stay. If a player wants to leave, they should be allowed to. Because if you don't let a player leave when they want to, they will later use their ego to stir up trouble within the team. The Brazilian player was the team's most important player a few years ago. But now he's overshadowed by Mbappé. I'm sure he finds this problematic. Because some players always want to be the best.

If Xabi forces him to stay on the team, the team's success may decrease even further. Anyone who is disobedient and disrupts team harmony should be removed from the team.

[Antotena]

Xabi Alonso has done a great job so far, he is a genius coach with impressive experience from coaching Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga. Currently at Real Madrid he is still facing a transition period, I think all coaches are the same. In my opinion, Xabi Alonso is still very good at coaching Real Madrid, there is no doubt about it. Real Madrid's current squad needs a major overhaul to be more solid, selfish players must be sold in this transfer market. Being in second place in the La Liga standings is still good for Real Madrid, I think the game is still long for this season. For the Copa del Rey match against Alavera, even though several players cannot play due to injury, Real Madrid looks like they will win easily.

He has been doing a very good job until he decided to switch to what people are demanding. If there is anything I respect about other coaches that doesn't listen to people's opinions is the fact that they do what works for them. Xabi did well in the beginning but the performance half way is watery, nothing good about them at this moment but they are also not that worse to think he need a replacement, with what I have seen he should be able to cover more points.

Those times Barcelona were having bad times, if only they refused to lose those matches to other teams, there is nothing Barcelona is going to do now that will change their place. Now they are fighting for two place, trying to settle for above and become the number one team at the top of the league and then maintain that place till the end of the season. It's not going to be an easy job considering the lack of consistency they are having right now.

[verdinio]

Sevilla has better performance for this season and success break the middle standings position awhile, I think not easy match for Madrid but important to get three points if won't has gap many points from Barcelona already remaining 4 points.

Surely against these teams he absolutely must win, otherwise he really risks being left behind teams much less strong than them, now I understand the moment of crisis and everything but they have to wake up if they want to regain the top of the standings

[Sexylizzy2813]

You draw a good good point where you said the manager should make sure he put his messy relationship with his boys in order because it is obviously effecting the performance of his team, I don't want to talk much about Vinicious Jnr because he's is know for risk ego of a thing, and I don't think that's what I should be discussing, and even though we are to discuss that, I will say that the manager would have by now know how to calm him down and put him in his place, the manager should be in control, RealMadrid is a team that are not lacking players, the manager should know that there's no excuse for him, his concern should be how to put him team back in track simple.

I think Madrid don't have what it takes to make players stay in the club for long, their performance is another thing and also not letting the younger ones get an opportunity to at least show the World that they're among a big side. Alonso is making a wrong move when it comes to the players, using anger or something that doesn't bring the players close to him will damage that connection the team had when he came, in the case of Vinicius Jr I think he should have treated him differently and not the way he is showing now. I don't know how he wants to do it but he need to make Vinicius to be a part of something in the club like give him something to be responsible for and add something to his wage, I believe that will change his mind.

Maybe there is social jealousy within the team that makes him like that, this is what we can assume now, and this trait is a disease if it exists in a team where he will not be happy if he sees his teammates having excellent growth and being a priority.
It was a deep wound for him and it was better to let him be free than to force him to stay, as I said it was like planting a thorn in his own body, Xabi also had to be firm even though he was still new to Real Madrid.

For Xabi, being decisive and having a firm stance is very important. He must maintain discipline with the players and manage them in the best way possible. Having played for the biggest teams in the world as a footballer, he has worked with many excellent managers and must have learned valuable lessons from them. Now is the time for him to translate that into action on the pitch, and I'm sure he will manage Real Madrid in the best way and achieve success, provided he is given some time.

[Silence Scream]

The Copa del Rey matches have begun. The match between Baleares and Atletico has started and there are currently no goals. Racing Club, meanwhile, have taken an early lead against Villarreal, going 1-0 up. Real Madrid have a match today. They will be playing against Talavera, and I think Real Madrid will comfortably win this match, fielding a squad largely composed of reserves. They will be resting key players because rested players are needed in the Spanish league, where Barcelona are leading.

Atletico Madrid have scored two goals in quick succession and are currently comfortably leading the match 0-2. They will likely win comfortably. In other matches, Albacete scored against Celta and are now 1-0 up. I wonder if there will be a big surprise in the Copa del Rey. I think Real Madrid will have a comfortable match and get an easy victory. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have conceded one goal; the score is now 1-2.

If Vini wants to continue to be the best in Real Madrid, that's fine but he cannot achieve it by asking for an increase in pay to be equal to that of Mbappe. Vini should work on himself in order to become the best and he should also let go of his ego so that, it doesn't destroy his future. His performance isn't that impressive this season.

[BRINIRHA]

Racing Club, meanwhile, have taken an early lead against Villarreal, going 1-0 up. Real Madrid have a match today. They will be playing against Talavera, and I think Real Madrid will comfortably win this match, fielding a squad largely composed of reserves. They will be resting key players because rested players are needed in the Spanish league, where Barcelona are leading.

The Baleares vs. Atletico Madrid match ended with a score of 1-2 in the first half. And honestly, I was surprised by how Baleares managed to score 1 goal in this match. Because I initially thought Atletico Madrid would win without conceding a goal in this match. But I'm sure there will be more goals in the second half. And I've been expecting more than 2 goals in this match from the start. So I'm already happy with the current result.

The Real Madrid match against Talavera, I think, won't be too different from the Baleares vs. Atletico Madrid game. Both teams might score, but in the end, Real Madrid will score at least two goals. A victory for Real Madrid seems like a certainty.

[barbara44]

Vinicius Jr. has played 17 games this season, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists. This is not a good performance for a player who earns a good salary at Real Madrid. If Real Madrid continues to have strikers with such weak performances, then the team will hardly have a strong attack. Just look at what happens when Mbappé can't score goals; it seems like all the other strikers aren't even on the field playing, even though they are. It's a very problematic situation that the coach needs to resolve soon.

This is literally why Real Madrid is not willing to offer him the money he wants. You think if he scored 10 goals and had 10 assists in 17 games, he would not get what he wants? He would be easily getting that money and Real Madrid would be happy to pay up.

However he is not playing that well and because of this it looks like he is not going to get the money he wants because results are not showing up. Getting 10 G/A in 17 games is not the stats of someone who deserves 30 million euro per year, he should be lucky to get 20-25 million range, because of this we should not be looking into this as something that will be that difficult. Vini is not some player to sell easily, but if he insists, there is no other way.

[Chilwell]

Sevilla has better performance for this season and success break the middle standings position awhile, I think not easy match for Madrid but important to get three points if won't has gap many points from Barcelona already remaining 4 points.

Surely against these teams he absolutely must win, otherwise he really risks being left behind teams much less strong than them, now I understand the moment of crisis and everything but they have to wake up if they want to regain the top of the standings

They really have to wake up early if not their chances of gaining the top will be no more. Football is very difficult to predict this is nowadays because it always give us the shock of our life, if not who is Sevilla that will be a threat to Real Madrid but everything turned upside down, Madrid that starts the season with a lot of confidence have changed and I don't see them recovery at this moment. Currently Barcelona looks so strong than Real Madrid and I don't see any sign from them to leave that position for Real Madrid. Using the previous matches to judge the future always make things wrong sometimes, if not I will say Real Madrid have upper hand than sevilla but let's see how it goes when the time comes.

[BRINIRHA]

Atletico Madrid has not disappointed at all. They are now leading 1-3 over their opponents. And there may be more goals in the second half, which is now in the 75th minute.

However, I am really disappointed with Villareal. I believed they would also secure a victory. Villareal, who were only facing Racing Santander, should have been able to win easily. But look at what's happening now. Villareal seem to have underestimated their opponents. As a result, they now risk losing to Santander with a score of 2-0.



In the second half, which is currently underway, I hope Villareal can score a goal and turn the situation around.

[Adbitco]

In the second half, which is currently underway, I hope Villareal can score a goal and turn the situation around.

Only if I had followed my instincts today at least I would have been hoping for a win today, I wanted to play all the underdogs to score at least one goal in today's Copa del Rey games and from what I'm seeing, all the underdogs that have played today have all scored at least one goal. As Villarreal, it seems it's only La Liga that they are in form, the rest of the competition that they are in, they have been a disaster, look at the Champions League, just 1 point earned after 6 matches, today again they are losing to a second division team.

Well, in today's match, it seems that almost all of the underdog teams have scored goals. Actually, that's really beyond my expectations. But well, that was very likely to happen from the start because the favorite teams didn't immediately use their best players.

But Villarreal isn't just conceding goals; it looks like they're heading for a loss. And well, they seem to be having a string of poor results in competitions outside of La Liga. Now Villarreal looks set to lose 2-1. At least both teams scored. Although I'm frustrated with what I saw from Villarreal's match, luckily I did well with the other matches.

The matches between Madrid vs. Talavera, Bilbao vs. Ourense, and Betis vs. Real Murcia, I hope they won't be disappointing.
