La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Issa56]

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.

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.

I don’t really know what other bettors think though, but to me sincere I don’t see any chance of Sevilla winning that match, infact Real Madrid are to show their real self in that match, Sevilla will find it very difficult to score goal in that match.

But you know with the way the performance of Real Madrid is going many people are not giving them high chance of winning the match because they are not in their best performance, but one thing is that they are going to be playing at home and that’s another thing to consider in that match. They will definitely do everything to win the match.

[kriminall]

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.

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.

Real Madrid absolutely needs to sign two top central defenders next year. They've been unlucky with their central defenders, and long-term injuries have caused problems in that area. Last year, their full-backs were also poor. This year, their full-backs are quite good, but the central defenders are dragging Real Madrid down. Militao is constantly getting injured, and it's likely become a chronic problem, Real won't be able to utilize him for a long time.

I also agree and strongly concur with your statement, because it's a fact that has been evident for the past two seasons, including this season. In January, Real Madrid must be able to replace other center-backs, as you mentioned, even though the two existing center-backs cannot be immediately sold by the team to other clubs or leagues. I also highlight this as a very serious issue for Real Madrid. If it isn't addressed immediately during the January transfer window, Real Madrid will continue to suffer like it is now until the end of the season.

Real Madrid defence is a bit weak recently, I was thinking they had figured out the fact that injuries could interfere with their form and  put in modalities to not allowing that interfere with their performance for the season.  Well they have this January window to get some more defenders so that while the injured players recovered, the team will not suffer much.

Now everyone is seeing real Madrid defense as a reason why they are struggling to keep a clean sheet, I thought the whole reason of bringing on Xabi Alons as the coach was so that they have a different style of play, but if the blame is still throw at how the lack of key defenders is the reason why they can't stop conceding goals, then it is obvious Xabi Alons is not doing anything different from what Don Carlo Acelotti did before he was sacked.

You are right, injuries can significantly cause a decline in team performance, because this injury problem Real Madrid is facing now, it has also happened to Barcelona this season and we've seen how they struggled before they regained back their form. Even in champions league it was injury that affected Barcelona and since their players returned their performance have been impressive. Not only injury is the challenge of Real Madrid they also have a big problem in their midfield because they still don't have perfect replacement like Toni Kroos and Luca Modric.

[EL MOHA]

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.

I don't think Real Madrid lack any player that is making them to perform weak this season if not because of the injuries players, Madrid will be in a better shap this season because they have everything in the team and am sure if all the players will be back from injuring currently you will definitely see Real Madrid performance in all the competition for this season, is just that xabi Alonso have not really understand the club very well he can't know how to manage a team when the key players are injured and that is what is affecting him in the league.

Hansi Flick as been managing the team when Barcelona players are injured and they are performing pretty good, but Madrid can't do that so. Xabi Alonso need to improve is statistics and make the players understand is pattern better and do well.

The most consistent team in La Liga is now Villarreal. This team has won consistently for a long time. And has earned 35 points in 15 matches. If they win the next two matches, their points will be 41. And Real Madrid will lose the second place in the table.
Athletic Madrid has fallen behind due to losing two consecutive matches. Real Madrid's performance is also a bit erratic now. There is also doubt whether they will be able to do well in the upcoming matches. The road to capturing the top spot of the table is quite difficult for Madrid.
Everyone is waiting for the Villarreal vs Barca match. Villarreal will host Barcelona. The head-to-head matches between these two teams are always competitive. Barcelona has won three of the last 5 head-to-head matches and Villarreal has won two. So there is no doubt that the next match will be very enjoyable.

Villarreal really deserves an appreciation for their consistency. Because being consistent is the most difficult task in fact it is more difficult than performing well.  Real Madrid is a good team but now there is a decline in their performance which will be really harmful for them. Because it's the era of competitions where your negligence or bad luck or any excuse is not accepted as the reason for your failure or weaknesses. Barcelona is struggling to keep their position safe and secure and they are really good to manage this. Villarreal is going to have their match with Barcelona. And these matches of head to head between Barcelona and Villarreal are really a great source of joy as these matches are full of competition and thrill. And if we see these matches which were played by Villarreal and Barcelona then Barcelona has more numbers in winning.

[Kuingsudaqila]

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.

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.

Xabi Alonso's performance is very different when coaching Leverkusen. When coaching Leverkusen, his performance was extraordinary. He was even able to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the German league competition. But for some reason, when coaching Real Madrid with even more fantastic star players and extraordinary financial power, Real Madrid's performance was not good. Is it because he was unable to unite many star players under one orchestral conductor under Alonso? Regarding this, Xabi Alonso had conflicts with his star players that have come to the surface, and there is clearly a conflict with Vinicius.

[TelolettOm]

Madrid's front line is strong, especially with Mbappé, as the main factor. Of course, several forwards have also contributed well, but ultimately, Mbappé has been the most influential. So far, Mbappé has scored 28 goals and provided 5 assists throughout the 2025/2026 season. So, his performance is indeed very strong.

Real Madrid's injury situation is also significant, as they have lost many defenders this season due to injuries, and all of them are serious. Therefore, if there are more injuries, Real Madrid will truly be in a crisis. Mbappe moreover has scored 72 goals since his arrival at Real Madrid in 2024.

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.

Yes, after all, football is a team effort. Unfortunately, even with the best players, without the support of the entire team and a good coach, it won't be optimal. If only Real Madrid's performance and winning mentality could be as good as before, even if they could truly turn things around in injury time, it would be great with Mbappé this time. But, unfortunately, their performance wasn't that consistent, and they missed so many chances to win the match.

Anyway, Matchday 17 of La Liga has begun with the match between Valencia and Mallorca. The result was a draw, 1-1. Mallorca couldn't maintain their lead after scoring in the first half.

Villarreal are worth admiring because of their consistency this season since it is more difficult to be consistent with the form during a vast amount of matches rather than to have some good performances. A total of 35 points in 15 games is an indication that they are not a flash in the pan. The lack of consistency is now beginning to show in Real Madrid and in a competitive league, lost points can be expensive. The title race also becomes open due to the additional losses that Atletico incurs in the recent past. The next Villarreal Barcelona game will be very vital because their head to head matches are always fierce and unpredictable.

Sevilla is the opponent team for Real Madrid in this week and has advantage for Madrid with this week schedule will play early than Barcelona against Villareal so not get huge pressure. Looking head to head in last five matches, Sevilla always difficult when facing Madrid and only get one draw in last five matches with Madrid dominance by winning last 4 matches. Performance of Sevilla in last several games not on the top performance after eliminating at Copa del Rey from Alaves and Sevilla won 2 of last 6 matches in La Liga.
Between Madrid and Sevilla actually both team have downtrend performance exactly with Real Madrid just winning one match after having bad result in last several La Liga matches, the defense of Madrid very poor last match have conceded two goals in Copa del Rey when facing third division Spanish teams.

I believe Villarreal's consistent results in almost every match they play are due to their consistent performance. They haven't moved from their current position until matchday 15, especially since they still have a game in hand. There's a chance they could climb even higher in the standings. Their next match is against current league leaders Barcelona. They have home advantage, so they will likely play their best this time, with the same goal of winning at home.

Villarreal's results have made Real Madrid a little anxious. With Villarreal still in contention and a significant points gap, a win could see them overtake Real Madrid and move into second place in La Liga. The competition for the title is now even fiercer, given that the top four teams in La Liga share unique ambitions, especially a team like Atletico, who are consistently among the strongest contenders. This year, they've maintained their form this season, with their results in the competition being significant, given their slow-but-steady approach, a consistent part of Atletico Madrid's approach.

Interestingly, if you look at Villarreal's statistics this season, you will see that in La Liga they have won most of their matches against weaker teams. They have not won a match against the best teams yet. If you look at their Champions League results, they have lost against Man City and Dortmund. They have been consistent since the beginning of the season. The match against Villarreal is likely to be a tough fight for Barcelona, ​​but I think Barcelona will win in the end. If Barca wins this match, the gap with Real Madrid will increase. But Real Madrid's win against Sevilla could be positive for them. My personal opinion is that Villarreal probably won't go far in the tournament.

[Scarlett_23]

Real Madrid's performance was good from the beginning. But when they won in El Clasico and Barcelona lost, Barcelona tried very hard to get back into form, so it can be said that sometimes a loss ensures the next victory. Real Madrid has many star players but their defense is not yet strong. So they definitely need this reform quickly.

If Real Madrid had played consistently from the beginning or had a winning streak, regardless of small or big teams, in all teams. Then they would not have had this fate today.

There is no shortage of interest from the audience to see how Real Madrid vs. Sevilla and Villarreal vs. Barcelona will perform in the upcoming matches. Because there is already a four-point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It's true that they consistently win against weaker teams but other teams besides Villarreal have also struggled against weaker teams. This doesn't mean I'm defending Villarreal but it's proof that they're on a consistent path even though they lost against Man City and Dortmund. However sometimes they only focus on La Liga. We don't know why and we don't necessarily know the reason why they consistently lose against teams like Man City and Dortmund.

The match between Villarreal and Barcelona will be quite intense. Barcelona wants to distance themselves from Real Madrid. Villarreal is currently below them so Barcelona will try their best against Villarreal with the goal I mentioned earlier. If the home team wins, the gap will certainly close even further. Currently Barcelona's points gap with Real Madrid is only four points. Barcelona won't underestimate Villarreal in this match even though they know the team nicknamed the Yellow Submarine has the same strength as them, despite their different positions in the league standings.

Villarreal will face Barcelona at home. If they can make good use of their home advantage, they might have a chance against Barcelona. Barcelona has been in excellent form lately, consistently winning comfortably against every team. We also know that Villarreal struggles in big matches. In this environment, we will witness a match where both teams want to win. Furthermore, the home team has the goal of qualifying for the Champions League next year, even though they haven't finished in a good position this year. Therefore, they want to finish in the top four of the league. From this perspective, getting three points against a team like Barcelona will be very important.

[Rgram]

The match between Villarreal and Barcelona is going to be very interesting to watch. Villarreal are really in good form right now, as they have won their last five league games. Barcelona are also doing well also winning their last five league matches, so it makes the game even more exciting
Personally, I feel Barcelona might just drop points in this game not just because they are playing away from home. Villarreal is in top form and strong on their own ground and they will definitely make things very difficult for Barcelona. It won’t be an easy game at all. Looking at how both teams attack and create chances, I strongly believe both teams will score in this match.

[Rgram]

Real Madrid's performance was good from the beginning. But when they won in El Clasico and Barcelona lost, Barcelona tried very hard to get back into form.

I get your point, but I honestly see the El Clasico loss from a different angle. For me, the main reason Barcelona lost that game was because of injuries to key players. Raphinha was missing, Lamine Yamal had just returned from injury and clearly wasn’t 100% fit, and players like Lewandowski, Balde, and Joan García were also not available. That really affected how Barcelona played.
With so many important players out, it was always going to be difficult. I don’t really think Real Madrid would have had that much of a chance if all these players were present and fully fit. Barcelona lacked their usual sharpness, especially in attack and on the wings, and that made a big difference.

Real Madrid should have won El clasico by a bigger margin. Barcelona did not have Lewandowski, Raphinha, Olmo, and gavi in ​​their squad. Torres was also new to the squad. He was also not in good form. Yamal had just returned to the squad from injury. Barcelona's main goalkeeper Garcia was out of the squad due to injury. Despite all these problems, barcelona put up a tough fight at the  Bernabeu. It was very difficult for madrid to win the match. If Barcelona played with their best XI , madrid probably would not have won this match.

We know that Real madrid is not stable yet. And if this continues, they will not be able to win the title. There is even a big chance that they will finish the season in  third place in  the table. So Madrid needs to get back on track as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be without a title this season as well.
