La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[ndutndut]

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.

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.

Yes, Real Madrid's defense is currently very fragile due to the numerous injuries to their defenders. Real Madrid's defensive weaknesses were also evident in their last match against Talavera in the Copa del Rey. Even against third-tier teams Real Madrid conceded two goals so against Sevilla I'm confident they'll concede as well. Furthermore Sevilla often troubles strong teams because they consistently play an attacking game.

So with both teams having a chance to score in this match betting on the total number of goals or over three goals might be a better bet. I predict this match will be a high scoring affair with both teams scoring. Madrid defense has been weak so far they've conceded easily even against smaller teams let alone Sevilla who always plays a pressing game.

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.

They are in the Champions League and are currently 35th. This means Villarreal are playing helplessly against the big teams. They have played very well in the league so far, but it's uncertain if they can continue like this. I don't think they will win La Liga. Their chances of winning the Spanish league are very low. Either Barcelona or Real Madrid will take it.

Villarreal's statistics against big teams have never been good. Even against Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, their statistics are not good. However, their main strength is their consistent performance against medium or small teams. This consistency has earned them a place at the top of the La Liga points table this season.

To achieve good results in top competitions, they need to improve the quality of their players and work on increasing the strength of the team. They have not yet won a match in the Champions League. I see them positively as a developing team.

Even if they wants to improve their quality the la liga law may just be the problem. I think the heads of la liga should be ashamed of themselves, the league is now losing it, so far against English teams La liga has been terrible and lost all except for the win Barcelona secured against Newcastle but still it was scary and Newcastle is amongst the weakest English team in the UEFA champions league.
I think the financial law is making team poorer and they can effectively increase their quality.

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.

Sevilla's productivity for this season in scoring goals does look much better but to score against Madrid to be honest I am still quite doubtful about it.

Sevilla's development is a little bit felt although some of these seasons they feel the destruction but slowly in this season they play quite well.
But scoring goals against Madrid depends on who the defenders are.

At the moment Huijsen has started to recover, several other players have also recovered and those who get accumulated cards can return to play for Madrid of course this will add to Madrid's defense to be more solid and can be difficult to penetrate.

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.

There is only one team with the most goals in La Liga, and that is Barcelona with 49 goals. Real Madrid are second with 34 goals, followed by Villarreal with 31 goals in 15 games. Villarreal could be in second place after Barcelona considering they have 2 games in hand, while Villarreal is the team with the best defense in terms of total goals conceded so far.

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.

Barcelona's defeat in El Clasico is not a sign that they are in a bad form, but they are struggling for consistency due to several injuries to their key players. Barcelona also lost and drew after losing to Real Madrid in El Clasico, but that defeat occurred in a Champions League match. Barcelona's increased consistency in performance is due to the recovery of their key players, which is the most plausible reason when we look at the depth of Barcelona's current and previous squads.

Since losing to Real Madrid in El Clasico, Barcelona have recorded 7 consecutive wins in La Liga. Barcelona scored at least 24 goals in 7 matches, which is quite a lot of goals compared to Real Madrid in the same number of matches. If Barcelona can maintain this points gap and capitalize on every mistake Real Madrid makes in the league, then I think they will retain their title this season.

Their performance in the Champions League could have been better, but it just didn't happen. They had some successful matches in Spain this year, but when it comes to the Champions League, Villarreal becomes a struggling team. They need to identify their problems here and continue their fight in higher-level tournaments against strong teams. I don't think they even have a chance at winning La Liga. They've only played some good matches so far, that's all.

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.

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.

Their problem this season has been defense they need serious reformation in that position and things would get better, then a little upgrade in the Midfield too cause since key players like Kroos and Modric left Madrid haven't got a very good player maker like them, Bellingham is trying though but his best is not enough.

 What really affected Madrid's defense is injury cause since the likes of Alaba, Rudiger and Co that are the senior players in that position became injured proned that defense line that used to be a fortress is now very weak and easily concede goals, if not that Real Madrid got a reliable attacker like Mbappe, I wonder how they would've cope this season.

In a literal sense, it is true that Villarreal's main strength is their consistent performances against medium or small teams, but what surprises me is that this team has won five consecutive matches in La Liga. So Barcelona may have to be very cautious when facing this team, as we believe that Barcelona wants to maintain their position as table toppers. Villarreal won a match against Barcelona before, which you may not have noticed, so it also raises doubts that they could shine again against the Blaugrana tomorrow moreover this Villareal team will be able to play with a lot of confidence on their own field.

Defensive issues has actually been Madrid biggest weakness this season and it very very clear that they lack defense, and the injuries to key players like Alaba and Rüdiger have really disrupted the stability and leadership that once made their back line so strong. When strong defenders are missing it is very very hard to maintain consistency. Bellingham has stepped up admirably, but just as you mentioned, he cannot single handedly replace the balance and playmaking those two provided. Mbappe presence up front has definitely masked some of these problems. Without a reliable goal scorer bailing them out in tough moments, the season could have been much more difficult. Overall, a defensive rebuild and a midfield upgrade look essential if Madrid want to regain their old dominance.

[Slow death]

if not that Real Madrid got a reliable attacker like Mbappe, I wonder how they would've cope this season.

Unfortunately, many people don't realize that at Real Madrid, it seems like Mbappé is the only one in attack. The other attacking players mostly contribute with assists, and it's rare for them to score goals. This means that when Mbappé is uninspired and doesn't score, the team suffers greatly, leading to points being dropped.

In my opinion, the current Real Madrid squad is unsustainable. The former coach tried, but he realized early on that the ship was sinking, so he jumped ship early to save his image. The club's management wouldn't accept selling Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, but these two players can't score regularly, and the current coach has made several new signings for the attack.

Villarreal are not that good like before but they always try there best when facing big club and I get the believe that they will do well and try to challenge Barcelona this weekend but Barcelona will be the favorite to win the complete point in the match. Hansi Flick is doing very great and he will do is best to continue wining is League match so that they can get the opportunity to win the laliga for the second time.

if madrid lose against sevilla and Barcelona get the chance to defeat Villarreal I will says that madrid have lost the League because Barcelona are in a good shap currently and won't try to lose any point when they gave madrid alot of gaps in the league table. Let watch and see who will get the three point this weekend against sevilla and real madrid before talking about Barcelona.

[Lida93]

Snip.

They are in the Champions League and are currently 35th. This means Villarreal are playing helplessly against the big teams. They have played very well in the league so far, but it's uncertain if they can continue like this. I don't think they will win La Liga. Their chances of winning the Spanish league are very low. Either Barcelona or Real Madrid will take it.

In as much as I acknowledge what they are doing in the La'liga this season I still do not think that Villarreal stand any chance to win the title this season as there are other teams that I consider to be more better than in all ramification and also considered to be favourites to clinch the title this season, to set the records straight, its absolutely wrong to attribute Villarreal's poor performances in the UCL to mean  that they might be diverting their attention to something else.

[SquallLeonhart]

Real Madrid is fine in UCL, they do not need to get a win here. They can lose their next two games and still be fine but they are going to play against Monaco and Benfica, both of which should be very easy for them to get a win, which means they will be in top eight this season. I get that people do not like what they are seeing mostly, losing to Liverpool and city was bad, but lets be real for a second and not act as if they are doing terrible, they did worse last season compared to this year.

La liga isn't over neither, they are doing fine and should be doing fine, they are still close and at the worst case being second place isn't unheard of, real either wins or second every season anyways so it's normal for them.

[Furious 7]

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.

Habituation is one of the things that must be considered here, they play better for domestic competitions even though the opponents may be much better than their opponents in the Champions League actually show that Villarral is still not ready for habituation.

When facing domestic clubs in La Liga they have met almost every season and even if there is a change, it is likely that this is only a small change that they can anticipate in contrast to clubs that do compete in the Champions League which will definitely interfere with their performance.

On the other hand for now the coaching hire is also decisive because previously Villarreal was not a new name for coaching but when it comes to pressure previously Villarreal was in a good situation thanks to Emery and they now only need to improve to return to that time and the new habit begins.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I don't see much goals in this match because it's still goalless. I don't expect Osasuna to open their defense and leave it porous in the second half for Barcelona to get a breakthrough. Barcelona had a lot of opportunities but they don't have the luck. Ferran goal was canceled for an old offside that wasn't called for. They need luck in the second half for them to break the deadlock.

Well , Osasuna were lucky in that match. One player who really stood out was Kounde , I see he has great chemistry with Rashford; there's no need to use Lewandowski , Lamine always uses his classic move , and I think everyone knows it by now, but it doesn't work for him Anymore.

What I like about Barcelona is that their manager Innovates he doesn't Always play with the same system. That's what Xabi Alonso needs.

[promise444c5]

Are you saying this young ones at Real Madrid are not worth it or Arda Guler hasn’t proven his worth?…. That boy has been crucial in that Madrid midfield, and formed a good link with Mbappe. If not that these days midfielders are not judged by what they do but by goal contributions. Endrick last season utilised the little time he was given and was crucial in all the games he played. Mastantuono also even in the past they had Odegaard, Hakimi and the likes.
Madrid don’t give opportunity to youngsters if they do it’s rare, this guys are worth it, it’s not gambling or are you saying Barcelona gamble all the time?.

Yeah, he did, especially this season, but not to the extent of securing a reliable spot as a starter or key player for the club…Guler was given more opportunities when Bellingham was injured, but that decreased drastically after Bellingham returned to the team. On the other hand, Endrick mostly sits on the bench, watching the games without much involvement… what else is he waiting for though.

The thing is, Real Madrid already have key players who can fill almost all roles which excludes some of this youngstars. Apart from them, they can’t  bring in any young players and hope for a miracle, especially when they are in desperate need of points.

Well, Xabi Alonso lack players who can play the way he did with Bayern Leverkusen. This first six months has been supper tough for him, it was the same with Bayern Leverkusen, he'll definitely correct the system with the right players.

Chemistry?! No! That was a great pass by the way, any other technically great player would have handled that pass very well.  The player having a good bond on the pitch with Marcus has to be Balde because that 2vs2 has to be his greatest strength whenever attacking and pressing his opponents.

Xabi's tactics are now predictable. Many managers are developing counter-tactics to match his. Perhaps this is why Real Madrid has been unsuccessful in recent matches, because the opposing team knows his moves well. Injuries to the defenders have also affected Real Madrid. Perhaps they need to play with different tactics, like the Barcelona manager. They need to constantly change formations and make good use of the players different positions.

[Abdulzuruku01]

So with both teams having a chance to score in this match betting on the total number of goals or over three goals might be a better bet. I predict this match will be a high scoring affair with both teams scoring. Madrid defense has been weak so far they've conceded easily even against smaller teams let alone Sevilla who always plays a pressing game.

Real Madrid defense is not solid due to the injuries of their defenders, and Rudiger that's currently managing in their centre back now honestly he's not performing well in that defense, because he always committing unnecessary fouls I just dislike him for that. Miltao that is playing Impressively now that will help hold their defense tightly he's also suffering from injury because in my opinion he's doing well than Rudiger now.
