La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Renampun]

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 have a feeling that Barcelona will probably continue to keep up with their current performance because their internal condition is relatively more stable and currently they are also performing better under Hansi Flick, that makes them able to continue to keep their distance from Real Madrid who are currently in quite unstable times and have not found their consistency, so it is still a little difficult for them to catch up on points with Barcelona. but if Xabi is able to stabilize Real Madrid's condition and continue to maintain their consistency, maybe they can catch up with Barcelona, if not, Real Madrid must be ready to finish in second place.

Hansi Flick really delivers on his promises, and that's what I respect him. He's trully proven to be an excellent coach. He's completely transformed the club and brought back that winning mentality. Right now, Barça are sitting 4 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table.
Now it's proven building good form takes time, and things can change quickly if injuries come back.

He's a good coach, guys, Barcelona is first, 4 points behind Real Madrid who seem to be struggling to catch up with the Blaugrana.
I haven't seen such a competitive and aggressive Barcelona since the golden age, Hansi Flick has brought them back to their former glory.

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.

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are far ahead of Villarreal in terms of squad depth which is one advantage that Villarreal lack and also one of the determining factors in every title race. Barcelona and Real Madrid have had to deal with injury crisis severally this season yet both teams have been performing adequately and efficiently as a result of the squad depth of both clubs.

Yet Barca remain at the top position followed by Real Madrid which makes it a bit difficult for Villarreal to break in and the reason why this might be difficult for Villarreal is because they failed to get a single point after facing the top three teams in the la liga this season, they lost to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid respectively in their first leg encounter with these big sides and would likely lose to these teams in the second leg presumably.

Hansi flick is really a good coach. Imagine if he was given money to buy players of his choice this guy would probably lift all trophies. Last season Barcelona bought only Dani olmo and Barca was on fire . Thjs season they bought only goalkeeper, rely on young players and they are still leading Madrid who spent millions of Euro this summer.  I am still saying this , the only luck  Madrid has now over Barca is money to buy players. If Hansi flick can get his hands on 2-3 signings , just close the season.

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.

I did not expect this would get to this point, I remember few weeks back when there was some rift in the team and it felt like the coach and some of the players were falling out , I really did not look into what the issue really was but I taught it was one in which they would resolve and get passed it already but seeing that it is getting to this point and may affect Xabis jab is sad actually.

[puloweh555]

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.

A fourpoint lead over Real Madrid has given Barcelona more confidence in every match and they will undoubtedly treat every match like a final as dropping even one point will put them under pressure from Real Madrid.

Barcelona performed very well against Villarreal, and it went according to Flick's plan. Although Villarreal played with a weak defense Barcelona broke down Villarreal's defense successfully scoring goals and securing the win.

However although Barcelona prevailed in this match, Flick still has work to do especially his defense which needs a strategic overhaul. Many of Villarreal's chances were created by blunders from Barca's defenders and they were fortunate not to score in this match.

[Alex077]

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.

So much for the Next Neymar. I don’t know if it is all the talks around him that is actually affecting his performance or not. I think it is probably at the back of his mind that Real Madrid did not want to give him an improved contract, which might present some doubts. Also, probably he would have performed better if he was concentrating on playing well instead of all the drama that he brings around. Of course, even Cristiano Ronaldo brought in a lot of drama. But he had the performances to show for it. I also do not understand one thing. Real Madrid has always been a team that had incredible players and also players with absolutely the biggest ego in the world. But I don’t think it was ever this bad.

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 have a feeling that Barcelona might continue to maintain their current performance because their internal condition is relatively more stable and currently they are also performing better under the tutelage of Hansi Flick, that makes them able to continue to keep the distance with Real Madrid who are currently in a unstable period and have not found their consistency, so they are still a little difficult to catch up on points from Barcelona. but if xabi is able to stabilize Real Madrid's condition and continue to maintain their consistency, maybe they can catch up with Barcelona, if not, Real Madrid must be ready to finish in second place.

Barcelona have their own way of solving their problem despite their internal problem they still maintain a very good performance and as it is now Barcelona I'm more reliable than Real Madrid when season started real Madrude was the one topping the table not until the Lost the power to remain consistent and now even with the situation of Barcelona they are still the one topping the table, even if this was not what we expected from Real Madrid there is nothing we can literally do about it down to accept our faith because we all thought real Madrid will be better this season but it is looking as if it is one of their worst and it xabi Alonso is the current coach of Real Madrid I've not been able to deliver is mandate so at the end of the day you should expect a sack letter because he has failed to better the club.

Beyond any doubt, Barcelona will remain on the top spot because if we look at their performance level then we can clearly see it improvement has been done with a consistent run. So this point make me feel more confident regarding through then like they will remain the top if injury were not happen.... Injuries is the only factors which can cause little bit concern from Barcelona otherwise the rest of their performance is absolutely outstanding....

On the other side if we look at the Real Madrid performance, then probably we can clearly see that their performance is not consistent. If they want a competition for a top spot, then for sure they will need consistency.

Barcelona have shown that, despite their internal challenges, they still know how to manage difficult situations and stay competitive. Their ability to keep performing well and remain at the top of the table says a lot about their structure, squad depth, and mentality. Right now, it’s understandable why many people see Barcelona as more reliable than Real Madrid in terms of consistency. Real Madrid started the season strongly, but once that energy dropped, they struggled to maintain the same level. If the coaching situation is not delivering the expected results, then pressure is inevitable. At a club like Real Madrid, poor performances and failure to meet up actually lead to tough decisions. Whether that results in a managerial change or not, it is clear that something needs to improve quickly if they want to turn the season around and compete seriously again.

Hansi Flick is a wonderful coach and if not because Barcelona don't have alot of funds to buy key players that why you see them performing this way if they have enough funds for players Hansi Flick should be the best coach currently in the competition because he will get all the good players that he need, Rashford is and example I didn't expect Rashford can perform very well in Barcelona but Hansi Flick get him in loan and he do all is best and doing good and dominating many clubs in the laliga competition.

The coach no how to manage players he knows the club don't have enough money to buy players but is he have a good strategy he used that and continue managing the club an get the league title for the club last season, and with how things are going for now he can get a title for the club this season and is goals of this season is to win the Champions League, but I see is not doing much good in the ucl but always perform good in the league competition. Let see after the break he can do well and chase the title.

Surprisingly, Real easily defeated Sevilla

~

To be honest, I don't understand where these odds come from, because this isn't Ancelotti's Real Madrid, which beat almost everyone without losing, but Real Madrid, which is now beating a third division team 3-2 and also beating Alaves without any particular advantage or beautiful play.
Now it's 1.3 against Betis, who easily beat Getafe 4:0 and I think that even if you don't bet on Betis to win, at least Betis won't lose to Real, considering how confidently Betis has been playing lately in La Liga and European competitions.

This is why I always tell people to stop looking at the score, some stats on live score or 1 minute of highlights and say of, this is how he team played!
Real Madrid was a different team with Alaves, the game is there on every file-sharing site, go watch it and you will see that despite the score, there was no point at all when one could have gone and say Alaves will spring a surprise, they were 50:1 by the 80 minute!

I didn't see the game, so I don't know if Real Madrid has really improved, but the 38% risk payout against Betis doesn't seem appealing to me. Unfortunately, Real Madrid is too inconsistent, and Betis doesn't look weak - they've only lost three games this season, one more than Real Madrid.

Well Betis is not Alaves or Girona, but at the sme time, Real has a breather, there is not much Betis can do in these two weeks but for RM team this is crucial at comes at the right time, I'm now saying 1.35 is what it supposed to be but again those are not chances, this is what the bookie is willing to pay for it and they don't seem that eager to pay less for Betis at all, a bit telling on what they think!

Yes, Real won, but their problems have not ended; they have only deepened. Real fans turned against Vinicius and booed him throughout the match. After that, Vinicius acted childishly again and changed his profile picture on social media from wearing the Real jersey to wearing the Brazil jersey.

Vinicius doing stupid things and saying Real is in trouble for that is like saying WW3 will start because water is wet!

[pawel7777]

All of the top 3 teams won their respective matches, so there are no changes in the top, but it's worth noting that Barcelona's win over Villarreal was particularly important to the situation in the top of the table.
Before that game, Villareal was on a 6-long winning streak (for league games only). They are currently 4th but they also have two outstanding games to play. If they win both of them, they would have 41 points, so they would be just one point behind 2nd Real Madrid. And if they were to defeat Barcelona yesterday and won that outstanding 2 games, they would be leading the table with one point advantage over Barca.

Another club that managed to significantly improve their performance recently is Espanyol. After beating Athletic Bilbao 2-1 today in an away game, they now have 5 league wins in a row, and are slowly climbing up the table.

[Sexylizzy2813]

What is really wrong with Athletic Bilbao this season? Everything they do this season doesn't end well, their defense is too poor to even stop opposition wingers and strikers, nothing seems to be working for these guys and is sad that we can't even say this is their major problem on like when their key players the William brothers were out due to injury and even if the both of them are in the same field I still see them losing games or playing a draw. Tonight Espanyol snatched all 3pt and it was that easy, while the host was leading I thought it was going to be a winning game for Bilbao but at the end it went Espanyol's was. With the slow display Athletic Bilbao are now showing both in recent games, I don't think they can make it to Amy Europe competitions.

In many of the past seasons, their defense was the key to their success, but they are not on the same level these days. Among all the teams of the upper half, their defense is by far the worst and even worse, their offense is horrible this season. They are scoring less than one goal per game, so even if they can improve defensively, it would still not be enough to be a real threat to the top teams in the league.

Barcelona successfully made good use of the momentum when Real Madrid experienced a dip in form, and they did not waste the opportunity to take over the top spot in the standings. Overall, if examined more closely, Barcelona have actually faced tougher challenges, but Hansi Flick has managed to handle them more effectively. Xabi Alonso, despite having an ideal squad depth, has not yet been able to create the expected consistency. In my opinion, their problems lie in the difficulty of uniting the egos of star players. If Xabi Alonso fails to live up to expectations and deliver a trophy this season, he will likely be sacked.

Espanyol managed to defeat Bilbao with a score of 1-2 in that match. Espanyol really performed exceptionally well because they were able to win that match. Although Bilbao scored first, Espanyol was able to turn things around and ultimately win the match. In that match, I lost my bet because I thought Bilbao would win. Before the match started, I was a little skeptical about Espanyol's abilities, but after watching the Espanyol vs. Bilbao match, I now realize that Espanyol has great strength and always makes it difficult for the opposing team.

Espanyol has now earned 3 points, and Espanyol fans must be very happy with this result. Romero and Milla were the heroes for Espanyol in that match, each scoring 1 goal against Bilbao. I wonder if you lost in this match because you favored Bilbao or not? Now Valverde must work hard to train the Bilbao players so that in future matches, Bilbao can perform even better. Bilbao is currently in 8th place, and there is still time for Bilbao to improve its ranking as there are many more matches to be played.

e spirit displayed by Espanyol is certainly understandable as they achieved a fairly good result in this match as their opponent was undoubtedly a team with extraordinary strength. Moreover Espanyol came as the away team and returned home with three points at Bilbao's home ground. Bilbao's strength this season is actually quite good given the composition of players they have. Of course the result in this match could be said to be luck not on the home team's side.

This victory will be a tremendous boost for Espanyol as they face Barcelona ​​currently at the top of the La Liga table in their next match. The match at RCDE Stadium certainly has a slight advantage for them as the home team but they shouldn't underestimate their opponents who come with a strong base having just won their away match against Villarreal a team in a better position than Espanyol.
They played in front of a packed Villarreal home but they showed no fear or even anxiety allowing Barcelona to achieve maximum results in their away game. As I mentioned earlier Espanyol's next match is a strong team that frequently wins away games.

I would seem to concur with the majority of the arguments put forward by this article mostly concerning the fact that Barcelona has managed to remain consistent despite their internal problems. The most notable thing is their efficiency in exploiting the slump in form of Real Madrid, which portrays effective game management and a well-defined tactical identity in the leadership of Hansi Flick. Barcelo is not ideal, but their setup and mindset has enabled them to fight out the results when necessary. Real Madrid, conversely, seems to have a different issue concerning the quality of the squad as opposed to its balance and cohesion. It is clear that Xabi Alonso possesses the resources, but it is turning out to be hard to deal with big egos and to be consistent. In a club such as Madrid, patience does not exist and unless results are being felt sooner, the pressure on the coach is only going to continue mounting.

Espanyol's performance was extraordinary defeating a team with a very good reputation in La Liga, Bilbao. Bilbao is known to be a team that always makes things difficult for other teams in the competition. However Espanyol's prowess prevented Bilbao from holding off the onslaught of Espanyol's attackers ultimately leading to a victory for the RCD Espanyol-based team.
Espanyol's current strength is extraordinary. Without it, they certainly wouldn't be in their current position in fifth place. Therefore Espanyol is currently aiming to secure a ticket to compete in the UCL next season.

All spectators from all teams will certainly feel happy about what their supported team has achieved but for the Espanyol team the results they got in the match will certainly be their important capital in facing the current leader of the standings namely Barcelona ​​where they have quite good motivation in the previous matches that they won so that with the capital of victory it will certainly be pressure for Espanyol but also the Espanyol team will continue to try their best with the aim of getting results in the match against Barcelona so that their position will continue to rise if they can get results in the match.
