La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Smack That Ace]

Real Madrid has fallen behind in the title race. But Madrid has not given up hope of the title. They will quickly bring stability in performance and will fight for the title. The difference in points is only 4. So Barcelona still has the possibility of occupying the top spot of the table.

Right... A few weeks  ago we saw Barcelona is falling behind from Madrid by 4 points. And in a few weeks the scenario has completely changed. Madrid has played badly in several matches in a row. On the other hand, barcelona has continued its winning streak for a long time. As a result, Barcelona is ahead of Real madrid by 4 points.

But Real Madrid is still a worthy contender for the La liga title. The first half of the season is not over yet. They will still play 21 more matches. It is unlikely that Barcelona will win  continuously for such a long time. If Barcelona loses points, Madrid will have a chance to grab the top spot in the table. But for this, Madrid's performance must definitely  stabilize. It is impossible to grab the top spot in La liga by performing irregularly.

Real Madrid have all the players you can think of, In almost all positions and they are playing like this, it means it's an internal issue, the team shouldn't depend solely on one player,  the attack will never be dynamic because the day that player is not on his form or he's injured there will be no goal right??

People look at Madrid's team and think they should be winning because they have star players. Having a balanced team is more important than having star players. Look at Madrid's team well, you will see that the team is not balanced. The midfield is not balanced. They don't have a natural CM that can control the game and absorb pressure, and they don't have a natural AM that can create chances and also score goals. Belligham is used for that, but he is not good at that. Arder Guler is the closest to that, but he is not ready to be the owner of such a role at Real Madrid. So those are two positions that need to be fixed.

In attack, they have Rodrygo, Vini and Mbappe who are all left wingers playing the attack. Of course, some players will be limited. Mbappe is just too much of a good player to be limited. He will score goals whichever way he's used, but the whole attack wouldn't be as sharp as it would be if players played their natural position.
For a team like that to be very good, they need a elite and experienced coach at his peak to make it work. A lot of manager will struggle with this Madrid team.

I saw above a guy making a bet on both to score in the game between Real Madrid and Sevilla, are you sure about it? I mean Real Madrid is gonna score for sure, but Sevilla?? THey are not a offensive team at all, and despite Real Madrid conceding in the last games i dont see any value at that bet. But good luck to anyone who take it.

I'm quite confident, because Real Madrid defense, as we know, hasn't always been great, which is understandable, given several of their defenders are injured. I don't know if Rudiger has fully recovered. But if we look at the betting odds, BTTS is priced at 1.83, which means the bookmaker considers Sevilla chances of scoring quite low. To bet on BTTS (yes), we'd probably need to look at the lineups of both teams first.

THey are not a offensive team at all, and despite Real Madrid conceding in the last games i dont see any value at that bet. But good luck to anyone who take it.

And the guy is trying not to lose any of the bet at all cost and am sure he will also want to bet draw so that he will be able to secure the bag because one of the most important is the winning so the guy is trying to block all the chances of winning. And I don't even think Real Madrid will be able to win against Sevilla because the condition that Real Madrid is now, gives Sevilla more opportunity to even win against reap Madrid.

Real madrid is not even winning any game so I don't even think there is need for anyone to even worry him self when it comes betting on real madrid I feel it should be avoided, because you will eventually lose your money because one of the most important thing is to know the clubs that have the possibility of clubs bringing that funds to you and that is one thing that matters a lot because the reason you are gambling is because of money so there is no point wasting it on clubs that don't even have anything to offer. To me betting on real Madrid is a risk and this is something we can aviod because we already know the poor performance of real Madrid.

Perhaps people are betting on both teams to score in the Real Madrid vs. Sevilla match because they see that Real Madrid's defense is not in good shape at the moment. And Real Madrid has recently won matches without conceding any goals. In fact, they lost to Celta with a score of 0-2, and even when they won against Alaves, we saw that Alaves was still able to score 1 goal against Real Madrid. So, in my opinion, betting on both teams to score in that match is quite understandable and could be a good opportunity. Besides, Sevilla has been quite good this season. They are currently ranked 9th. So, there is no reason for Real Madrid to underestimate this team.

I might even try betting on the same thing in that match. Although I think it's doubtful, looking at Real Madrid's match history this season, this team has conceded goals quite often. And only in a few matches has Real Madrid managed to win without conceding goals, such as in the match against Bilbao, where Real Madrid won without conceding.

Exactly,Real Madrid have better players to win the LaLiga and I agree that the problem is internal.  Xabi Alonso will be responsible for the internal crisis because he is coach. Real Madrid cannot rely on one striker to do more of the scoring. Such a heavy responsibility shouldn't be given to Mbappe because it is affecting the performance of the team. If Mbappe were to suffers Injury,that means Real Madrid would be struggling to score goals in matches. Winning matches at real Madrid shouldn't depend on the performance of Mbappe but on the efforts of the team. It's team work and shouldn't be just Mbappe.

Internal problem facing by Real Madrid right now and Xabi Alonso can't manage well although have many star composition players team, I remember well when Karim Benzema giving an opinion last week ago current Madrid performance, he said Madrid's head coach Alonso need to understand well about the star player from Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius jr until Rodrygo are top players but Alonso can build good chemistry for all them.
Mbappe as goal machine for Madrid right now and Alonso must looking alternative if that player get injury or huge pressure from defender opponent team, need other players show to score goal if Mbappe on huge pressure for scoring goals and its challenge for Alonso if won't Madrid loss points in La Liga matches.

I don't feel like all top 3 teams of the league will win this week. Atletico Madrid have the easiest fixture among them and they should be winning. Real Madrid are having tough days but I think they will also win by a close final score.

But I feel like Barcelona won't maintain this lovely win streak against Villarreal away. It is quite a difficult match considering Villarreal are also going on insanely.

Being young shouldn’t be a reason not to be using him, Is Lamine Yamal not young? Yet he has been  starting games for both club and country. Real Madrid needs to learn to start giving young lads a free hand and a good opportunity to showcase their worth and talent.
 Look at the likes of Endrick are really suffering in that Madrid squad, Arda Guler suffered last season and now he’s shown his worth and Xabi is still experimenting with him, uncalled for.
Madrid prefer to use already made big stars while Barcelona grooms theirs.

Arda Güler is a starter for Real Madrid most of the time actually. I only meant the times he isn't. Xabi Alonso must be deciding to rest him after seeing some drop in his performance due to playing so many matches in a row.

Hansi Flick doesn't do that with Yamal though but maybe it's because he is Yamal.    He is like the most important player in the team already now.

This is an opportunity that Real Madrid should not waste as January approaches. As you mentioned, they are currently being chased by the teams below them. Real Madrid must fully utilize this opportunity to continue improving so they remain a productive team in La Liga.

With their current four-point gap to their arch-rivals, this certainly makes them a bit weak in defense. However, what needs to be done in their current squad is not to prioritize one player too much. Because when that player is injured, the problem remains the team, not the prioritized player. In terms of performance, Xabi Alonso must be more effective in selecting players because otherwise, the results they achieved will not be optimal, as has happened in the previous few matches. We will see, as you mentioned earlier, what decisions the club will make when entering January, which is only a few days away. If everything we have expressed here does not happen, we can see together how Real Madrid's performance will be until the end of the season if they continue to prioritize one player.

Exactly they have to try to concretize as much as possible and it will not be easy, obviously this thing must take place in conjunction with the new year, it is clear, that it will not be easy and everyone knows this but they have to do it and they have to do it now, otherwise it will no longer be possible to recover this thing

According to bookmakers, the odds for "Yes" are lower than "No." So, theoretically, Sevilla shouldn't score a single goal in their upcoming match against Real Madrid. This bodes well for bettors who bet on Real Madrid to win, as they won't be afraid of Sevilla scoring a goal that could prevent a slip-up. On the other side, I see Sevilla as a good team this season, unlike in previous seasons. They might not score, but for handicap bet, I think they're worth considering.

To bet on BTTS (yes), we'd probably need to look at the lineups of both teams first.

Real Madrid's defense has been very weak in recent times, even small teams are able to score against them. In the last 10 matches, they have conceded a total of 14 goals in 8 matches and have only managed to keep a clean sheet twice. Among them, the match ended 0-0 against Rayo Vallecano. So it would be wrong to say that the probability of BTTS in the Real Madrid vs Sevilla match is very low. We should not give too much importance to the bookmakers, but rather look at the statistics.

[aipercoin]

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.

When a team, coach and management don't understand the quality of a player, i am sad.
For me, it's a waste, which is why i am so in favor of loans.
If they don't want to play him, easy, just loan him out so he can play elsewhere and make other fans happy.

Real Madrid's defense is very weak now because 6 defenders of the squad have suffered injuries. Militao, Camavinga, Alexander Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Mendy were not in the squad in Madrid's last match due to injuries. And this is why we can see the irregular and weak performance of Madrid's defense. If these players do not return to the squad quickly, there is little chance of stability in Madrid's performance. Maybe they can win the match, but it is very difficult for Madrid to dominate and win any match now. Madrid will host Sevilla in their next match. Sevilla is not a weak team. They were able to win against Barcelona by a big margin. Sevilla will play against Madrid with the aim of winning.

That's a good choice, because Real Madrid is also in a bad state right now, their defense performance is also sometimes not satisfactory, so betting on both teams can create goals is a good choice in my opinion.

Sevilla can also be very surprising, although overall they are not better than Real Madrid, but in terms of goal productivity they are not too bad either. Real Madrid's weaknesses are usually at the beginning and end of the game, so Sevilla can use that to their advantage to steal goals from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will be playing at home against Sevilla in this match, they will definitely do everything to win the match, although we can’t stop anyone to bet on their favourite club, because everybody have their own way of gambling. So for people who think Sevilla will win this match, I don’t know what they see though, but Real Madrid is actually the favorite club in this match.

However, Real Madrid are not in their best performance, so people think because of the Sevilla can win the match, which I think isn’t suppose to be a reason for underrating Real Madrid against Sevilla, that is still in the top 9 in the table, Real Madrid will do everything possible to win this match at home.

[7juju]

The way Mbappe is scoring, it seems that this French star will be the top scorer in La Liga this season. You have raised another important point that the problem of this team is really terrible, last season due to injury problems of important defenders they could not finish La Liga or Champions League with a very good performance but the same problem is occurring this season even though everyone was fit at the beginning of the season but gradually they are getting injured again. If such injury problems continue continuously then Real Madrid may have to think about some alternatives from next season. At the moment, those playing in Real Madrid's attack line are free of injuries but if the defense is not good, we have seen proof in the last few matches that attacking is not useful.

Injury is one major thing that run a team down and stop them from achieving anything meaningful in a season. You can be a good manager but once you have players that are hardly fit, you will have a difficult time in the club, and if your fans are impatient ones it becomes worse. Injuries are inevitable in a team that's true but it shouldn't be frequent and it shouldn't be long term injuries. I don't really see anything a club that's facing multiple injuries problem could possibly do than to wait for their injured players to recover. Will you go and do panic buy and risk being exploited in the market, or make hasty decision that will affect the club financially in the future. You can't possibly replace all your players that are injured with new additions. It will definitely have financial implications in the club operating costs.

There are rumors about Real Madrid's problems that caused them to lose many players last season. One of Madrid's nutrition and fitness coordinators, Gonzalez de Arriba, revealed that there was a poor pattern regarding players' nutrient intake, making them very prone to injuries. Remember the cases of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, Antonio Rudiger, and Eder Militao, all of whom were out for a considerable time this season. The success of their diet and supplement plan sparked unbearable hatred from the Medical Services and canteen staff towards Gonzalez de Arriba.

Madrid need more defenders because if there key defenders get injured they always struggle to win matches in the league competition and that is why they need to get new players that can be replacing them in  the pitch when the best are injured, and if madrid can be getting replacements for any player that are first eleven in madrid they can be doing well in all competitions. Real Madrid will be prepare to face sevilla tomorrow and that will be a tough match for them because madrid are playing away and they always struggle when they are not playing at home but I get the believe that Madrid will get the opportunity to achieve the three point because they need to win to continue chasing Barcelona in the league competition. if madrid win tomorrow Barcelona will get motivation to win there game too.

Perhaps the person who made that bet has a different opinion of Sevilla, although I'm not convinced that Sevilla will be able to score against Real Madrid unless Real Madrid's players make more mistakes in their home game. But if Real Madrid plays better in that home game, determined to improve their inconsistent form of late, perhaps they can win decisively without conceding. However, I'm also a little skeptical about Real Madrid's current defense, so there's a chance they could concede in that match as well.

real madrid is one of the three teams with the most goals scored in la liga, and they are not currently in their best form. barcelona recovered well after their el clásico defeat and, as if climbing to the top of the table wasn't enough, they also increased their point gap with real madrid to 4. real madrid is currently in a very precarious position because villarreal, which has collected 35 points in 15 games, is very close behind them.

given this tense situation, it's normal that real madrid's games won't be as comfortable as others. i don't think it will be very difficult for sevilla to score against real madrid.

[Lida93]

This is the worse campaign that Villarreal have been involved in since I started seeing them participating in the UCL in more than 2 decades in the UCL, however they are doing well in the Spanish league which makes it quite incomprehensible for the yellow submarines this season. Its quite confusing to me how villarreal could defeat teams in the La'liga that are far more better than some of the teams they have faced in the UCL this season.

If you want to achieve something, you have to sacrifice something else, and I think Villarreal is sacrificing their Champions League performance to maintain their top spot in La Liga. They don't see the need to perform so well in the Champions League when they have a better chance in La Liga.
All they need to do now is maintain their top-four finish so they can return to the Champions League next season and then try to perform even better.
This is a realistic view, because given what they've done so far in the Champions League, there's nothing they can do, and rather than exhausting their players, it's better to just give up and focus on La Liga.

Very unrealistic to me, and I don't see how villarreal could possibly be sacrificing something that isn't within their grip for something they may never come close to within this season, even if Barcelona fails to win the La Liga title, Villarreal still wouldn't win it because there's Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid who are also in line for the title race, so saying Villarreal is sacrificing something to gain another sounds very absurd to me.
