La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Adams0001]

Looking at the squad depth, it’s clear that Villarreal won’t be able to surpass Madrid and Barcelona. Based on the statistics, Villarreal also don’t really have plans to compete for the title, as they are well aware that challenging the top teams is extremely difficult and requires a very high level of consistency.

Villarreal’s main objective is simply to maintain a top 4 position to secure a UCL spot for next season, and nothing more than that.

They have noticed that Barcelona is not a small club that they can easily defeat and chase the league title. Since I so the first half the way they play I notice that he will be very hard for them to win the game and they didn't even get the chance to break Barcelona defence and score goals in the pitch. With how Barcelona are still playing in the league competition I don't think real Madrid can get the opportunity to overtake them and top the league for the second time Again.

Barcelona are leading Madrid with complete 4 point in the league and before Barcelona will lose or draw match he won't be easy, because all the team I think they can stop Barcelona they didn't get the chance to do so, Athletico Madrid didn't stop Barcelona they collect three point from them, and Barcelona face Villarreal Again they still failed to defeat Barcelona that means Barcelona will continue topping the league table.

Since Hansi Flick's arrival at Barcelona, ​​they have won at least the La Liga trophy, the Spanish Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup in 2024/2025. Currently, Barcelona is also at the top of La Liga. Although they haven't yet won the Champions League, they continue to fight for this title.

The smooth win against Guadalajara was all they needed to prove, amongst the 2 competitors in the El clasico, who's more ready to stand their ground in other competitions.

guadalajara had an amazing play, defended well, created chances as well,pressed whenever the needed to. Honestly, props to them.
I think the Guadalajara goalkeeper saved them from more goals than expected.
Rashford is very quick, though he missed a couple of chances, but the last one was where he dribbled past the goalkeeper to shoot.
The goalkeeper possibly could have blocked if he hadn't gone past him, It's so good to see him correct his mistakes within the game itself. Hopefully he keeps delivering, hopefully the game stays alive for them.

In about last one decade, only one club in La Liga could win the trophy, it's Atletico Madrid and despite of bad beginning in this season, Atletico Madrid began to join top four, and now they are at a third position already. If there is any third club which are able to join a title competition and challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona, I believe it will be Atletico Madrid, not Villareal.

You're right, but Atletico Madrid has never really managed to shine. Last year, in my opinion, they were much more competitive than this season, which started terribly.
Now they are recovering but they are still many points behind Barcelona, i don't think they can win the Liga

Atletico Madrid just need to maintain their current position, or target RMadrid position but the points difference is quite large. This club does that every season, and I'm not surprised they're not a serious threat to the league leaders. Barcelona did well and thankfully Lamine Yamal wasn't injured, the Villareal player's tackle was dangerous and the referee was right to give him a red card.

The referee did the right thing by giving the player a red card after a bad tackle on Lamine Yamal in the first half, the red card ruined the match, and I think Barcelona would have had a difficult time if the Villarreal team did not get a red card.  Villarreal have not performed well in other competitions, but they are serious about the league, they also have two outstanding matches to play, if they can win the two matches, they have a chance to takeover the second place.

Atletico Madrid is always this team for a long time, sometimes they play at their best and win games in a row, but when you expect them to play at their best, they lose form and drop from the top. They are not threat to Real Madrid or Barcelona, even though they are 9 points behind the top table.

[Ale88]

For me, Villarreal do not stand any chance in the first place, I have never considered them to be possible contenders for the title this season, though they might have some good stats this season as a result of their good performances this season which seems to be only altered by the three major clubs in the La Liga which are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletico Madrid.

Looking at the squad depth, it’s clear that Villarreal won’t be able to surpass Madrid and Barcelona. Based on the statistics, Villarreal also don’t really have plans to compete for the title, as they are well aware that challenging the top teams is extremely difficult and requires a very high level of consistency.

Villarreal’s main objective is simply to maintain a top 4 position to secure a UCL spot for next season, and nothing more than that.

Villareal don't stand a single chance to win the Liga, let's be honest. They probably over-performed in LaLiga until now because in the Champions League they obtained disappointing results until now. Some years you can notice when there is an underdog that could go very far, I don't see this Villareal as one of those teams.

Barcelona are leading Madrid with complete 4 point in the league and before Barcelona will lose or draw match he won't be easy, because all the team I think they can stop Barcelona they didn't get the chance to do so, Athletico Madrid didn't stop Barcelona they collect three point from them, and Barcelona face Villarreal Again they still failed to defeat Barcelona that means Barcelona will continue topping the league table.

There is no reason to think that barcelona is unstoppable. Last month, Real Madrid were 4 points ahead of barcelona. But now Real madrid are 4 points behind. Barcelona are  in good form now. They have been able to continue their winning streak. But it is very unlikely that they will win all the matches in the coming season. Barcelona's performance is likely to become erratic again. And I am sure that madrid will have a chance to regain the top spot of the table. Now , it is not certain whether Real madrid can make good use of this opportunity. On the other hand, it is also  unlikely that Atletico madrid will compete for the  title. Although they have a strong squad, their performance is not consistent.

[Olatundespo]

I think that Barcelona can really do a lot at the moment, and they are taking advantage of Real Madrid's bad moment, which seems to have given up a bit. Obviously this thing isn't over, the championship is still long and there's still a long way to go, Villareal had no chance of winning.

The best they can do for themselves is to keep being consistent cause the gap between them is not very far and if they drop points, Real Madrid could see and opportunity to get closer or even overtake them. Yes Barcelona might be in a safe position but they're not safe yet since any little mistake could make Real Madrid overtake them, the last thing Barcelona need is injury, not even for important players like Yamal or Raphinha.

Hansi Flick needs to plan how to keep his players away from injuries to maintain consistency. At the moment, the team's key players Raphinha and Lamine need to be kept as reserves. They should be used in important matches by limiting their use with smaller teams. Raphinha is currently in great form. Raphinha has missed 8 matches this season due to injury but has been playing impressive since returning to the field just a few days ago. The team lost a few easy matches due to injuries to key players and many fans doubted Barcelona's good performance. I think they have managed to overcome that bad time and are on the way to winning trophies. Although Real Madrid have potential, they are still far behind Barca in terms of performance. A small mistake in the next matches will indicate a setback for both teams.

Barcelona are leading Madrid with complete 4 point in the league and before Barcelona will lose or draw match he won't be easy, because all the team I think they can stop Barcelona they didn't get the chance to do so, Athletico Madrid didn't stop Barcelona they collect three point from them, and Barcelona face Villarreal Again they still failed to defeat Barcelona that means Barcelona will continue topping the league table.

The past performance of Barcelona doesn't make them superior and undefeated, yes the teams they have encountered has not defeated them and they have 4 point ahead of Real Madrid but that doesn't mean in future they will not drop points. Don't forget that Real Madrid was ahead before Barcelona over took them same thing can happen before the end of the league this is football the unexpected happens.

[Akbarkoe]

Barcelona are still the same one we know on the recent weeks. They continue winning but I really wonder how the Villarreal match would end if there wasn't any red card. Because Villarreal started the match quite dangerously.  

We will never know about it. Anyway things are still under control of Hansi Flick's team. 4 points ahead of Real Madrid and I wouldn't count Atletico Madrid in the title race. Considering the current performances Barcelona are just on their way to a back-to-back trophy.

Villarreal are no match for Barcelona right now they are playing poorly in my opinion and Barcelona certainly have the ability to beat Villarreal, Hansi Flick has managed to bring Barcelona even better this season, they can really get consecutive wins in this run, having a difference of 4 points is a form of achievement thanks to his consistency.
Just wait for Real Madrid to get it right, you will see how Real Madrid will win the game, meeting Barcelona again they will reply with a victory that silences those who do not believe that Real Madrid will come out on top this season, we will not let Barcelona win it again.

Although red cards are part of the game and the one given to Renato Veiga was truly a red card. Also remember that the red card was given, Raphinha already put Barcelona on the lead with that penalty he successfully converted and the read card came 27 minutes after the penalty which is a clear prove that Barcelona were billed to win that match irrespective of the card. So, wonder no more because the better side won the match, there was no way Barcelona will see opportunity to increase their gap with Real Madrid that they will not take it seriously.

[Velvet78]

What do you think about the rest of the season? Would Barcelona manage to keep this up and don't get many more point losses? Or would they give another chance to Real Madrid to take back the lead?

I know we are barely halfway in the season currently. Things can change so quickly like it happened early in this season. Just curious about what you think on that.

As long as Barcelona continue to score like a machine it really doesn't feel like they will lose the title to anyone. 2.83 goals per game so far!

Villarreal’s main objective is simply to maintain a top 4 position to secure a UCL spot for next season, and nothing more than that.

In recent years, the La Liga title race has been solely contested between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even teams like Atletico Madrid have been unable to dislodge their dominance in the La Liga title race. Therefore, it's understandable that Villarreal's goal is to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League.

[Tmoonz]

I'm not so sure about Villarreal's title chances this season, as teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid have always been much more evenly matched title contenders. The defeat against Barcelona demonstrates Villarreal's inconsistent ability to compete for the title this season. Ideally, the team would be able to maintain a top-five finish as a prerequisite for Champions League qualification. Without consistent performance in their next matches, it will be difficult for Villarreal to achieve that position, even though they currently sit in fourth place.

I am sure there is no chance of Villarreal to win the title, they are fighting hard for having spot into top four, this could be also good for them because they are having a performing squad in this season and it is also consistent still they need to work on their quality if they want to compete with top two clubs. Their defeat against Barcelona is completely difference of quality which making things favourable for top two clubs in this league, they have 2 matches in hands. These two games can give them a jump to 3rd spot as per how things are currently going on. There is no serious threat for them to go below this spot for next few weeks.

Overall only Real Madrid and Barcelona are equally strong in La Liga, competing for the title. I don't mean to underestimate Villarreal, but we need to be realistic. It's difficult for Villarreal to win the La Liga title, and I think finishing in the top four is already good for Villarreal. I see that as a whole, even from a financial perspective.

Villarreal's loss to Barcelona is understandable. It's just that Villarreal couldn't put up a strong fight because they were reduced to 10 men from the 39th minute. This made the match even more unbalanced. However, I'm confident that even without the red card, Barcelona would still have won because they are indeed stronger overall.

Villarreal seating at fourth place in the Spanish LA Liga standings is some how a miracle to me because they are not champions League team when it comes to Spanish LA Liga teams, I don't just know the kind of eyes people look at Villarreal to me Villarreal is still an underdog team and seeing them as a title contenders this season is indeed a very big mistake for I know they won't even end in that fourth place at the end of the season, and if not the fact that Sevilla is not really in good form what really could have brought Villarreal to that position?

The unexpected does happen in football at every moment and it is the reason why you cant be so confident about your team sometimes. Real Madrid was doing awesomely last time before they collected the game from them and Barcelona took it from them and are now at the top of the league. Whether tey will be able to survive it to the end of the league at the top of the table standing is what is not guaranteed yet until we see to the end of it.

The change of coach affected the club adversely. Carlo Ancelotti was able to build a very strong team. He was able to manage the top players in the club to get the needed results. Xabi Alonso has struggled to gain the loyalty and support of some top players. This lack of support has affected the club's performance. Maybe the teams need to be reshuffled, some players need to go while new players that will be loyal to the coach need to come in. The former Bayern Leverkusen coach might also be sacked if he keeps underperforming.

[Out of mind]

Barcelona are leading Madrid with complete 4 point in the league and before Barcelona will lose or draw match he won't be easy, because all the team I think they can stop Barcelona they didn't get the chance to do so, Athletico Madrid didn't stop Barcelona they collect three point from them, and Barcelona face Villarreal Again they still failed to defeat Barcelona that means Barcelona will continue topping the league table.

Unexpected events happen more in football matches. In the beginning, we saw that Real Madrid's performance was much better but now they have some weaknesses. And Barcelona's performance was bad in the beginning but now they have improved due to which they are currently ahead of Real Madrid by four points. However, we cannot say exactly what will happen by the end of the season, maybe Real Madrid can rise to Barcelona's position again. Since there is still a long way to go, if Barcelona loses in the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona, then they will definitely lose points. There is a possibility that the result will be different at the end of the season, so we cannot say so accurately yet whether Real Madrid or Barcelona will win this title. Both teams are still playing with great expectations.

Of course, it's not easy for any coach to lack the support of their players, and Alonso is feeling that way. But I think it's a common occurrence, especially for a team as big as Real Madrid, which is constantly under intense scrutiny and under pressure.

Alonso isn't new to Madrid and understands the situation very well. He's currently just trying to calm the storm, and I think it's over. If Real Madrid fail to win the title this season, I'm still confident he'll stay, unless Real Madrid plays really badly and suffers a losing streak.

Indeed sometimes the obstacle for a coach can be the players themselves, there are players who lack respect for the coach and usually when one player is like that then the players can follow and it can create chaos in the dressing room. If players are brave towards Xabi then I see that because Xabi is considered young that players start to underestimate him.

Real Madrid used to be a team that was very strict with players, but now I feel that something has changed from them. maybe it's related to development too. because players now I think are very sensitive, different from players before.

now, why do I feel like if Alonso is fired as the manager of Real Madrid there is going to be some say of vini jr in it? And honestly both are not providing the best for Real Madrid right now. Vini jr has most probably not scored in the last 17 matches now. And Alonso is also unable to bring in good results consistently for Real Madrid. Now Real Madrid has been able to win this match, but I cannot say Vini played well in this match.

You see it really well, you're telling the truth. That was a statement of match against Villarreal - not just on the scoreboard, but in the way Barcelona broke them psychologically. That horror foul on Yamal, 39 minutes in? That told me everything. When your only tactical solution is to kick the teenager because you can't contain him positionally... you've already lost.

Barca is vulnerable at the back but they score so much that defensive errors are irrelevant. They're sort of saying "we'll give you one, but we'll put three past you, anyway". And it's working.

What really convinced me was Atleti game earlier this month. Simeone's side were within 7-game winning streak going into that, playing the best football they've played in years. And Barca just took them apart 3-1. Raphinha, Olmo, Torres all got to score. When you can beat the best of Atleti and a motivated Villarreal back-to-back? That's title-winning form.

Since Hansi Flick's arrival at Barcelona, ​​they have won at least the La Liga trophy, the Spanish Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup in 2024/2025. Currently, Barcelona is also at the top of La Liga. Although they haven't yet won the Champions League, they continue to fight for this title.

Hansi Flick's performance at Barcelona is truly extraordinary and he is one of the greatest coaches. In his first season at Barcelona, ​​Hansi Flick was able to win three titles even though the Barcelona squad was filled with many young players. This season, Hansi Flick has the opportunity to win La Liga title because Barcelona is currently at the top of the standings and is 4 points ahead of Real Madrid. Of course, Hansi Flick wants to win the Champions League title and he will fight hard, especially last season, Hansi Flick was able to lead Barcelona to the semifinals. If Hansi Flick can win the Champions League title this season, it will be an extraordinary achievement for Hansi Flick because he was able to win the Champions League title with two different clubs.
