La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Bobrox]

It's still too early to conclude who will be the winner of La Liga this season, but Barcelona has shown more determination to defend their title this season, as seen from their consistent performance, and thats makes Barca's chances of winning La Liga slightly higher now compared to Real Madrid. I hope that Real Madrid can improve their performance, so that the La Liga competition will be even tighter and more interesting to watch, if they only rely on performance like this, then they may not be able to get enough points to shift from the top of the La Liga standings.

No doubt, right now predicting the La Liga winner too early because still has many matches left and 4 gap points between Barcelona and  Real Madrid still little remaining points will reach by Madrid or the other lower standings teams. Barcelona shown consistent performance recently but at the middle January when man busy schedule matches I think both teams Madrid or Barcelona has possibility loss points due both teams will focus for playing in Champion League.
Prefer waiting for several matches later if want to predict about the strong candidate team winning La Liga tittle still many matches left have to play, by the way La Liga match will break to Saturday 3 January next years due Christmas and new years holiday. Seems good recovery moment for all La Liga teams for their players get many days left recovery from injury or getting rest.

Currently, everyone seems to dislike Real Madrid's performance especially given their results in their previous matches. They are now behind their rivals Barcelona ​​whose performances have been improving in several matches both in the Champions League and La Liga. It's true as you said it's difficult to determine which team will win La Liga. The second round hasn't even begun yet. All teams are still fighting for maximum results. However the top teams simply need to maintain their current performance. If any teams are lacking in their squads in the second round they will be active in the transfer market to fill any gaps.

We believe Barcelona and Real Madrid are very enthusiastic about competing in the Champions League and La Liga this season. They aren't as preoccupied as teams new to the competition having been in the competition for almost a decade and experienced the demanding schedules they face. It's become a familiar experience for both teams. We'll just have to see what they do in the aforementioned tournaments.

[BlackBoss_]

I wouldn't agree with any less in this, Barcelona under Hansi Flick has been so formidable that we have forgotten they were struggling just before he became manager of the club,  not to take away anything from Xavi, he tried in his own rights and even won the league ahead of Ancelotti which is commendable but their style of play then is way different from what they do now.

With Hansi Flick, Barcelona have become more dangerous and direct in attacking attempts as they can quickly create dangerous attacks with only several passes and even score goals. With Flick, Barcelona no longer stick with purpose of high ball possession, and they have aimed at how to quickly exploit defense system of opponents, score goals, that is enough with Flick's management philosophy.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are traditional competitors against each other in La Liga for decades and there is a similar direct competition between the two giants for La Liga title now. Barcelona won a title last season and it triggers more motivation for Real Madrid to revenge in this season by beating Barcelona and taking a La Liga title back.

They began the season well, led Barcelona but with latest bad matches, they already fell behind Barcelona and will have to chase this competitor in remaining months. Opportunity for Barcelona and Real Madrid to become a champion in this seasion is quite equal, and difference between them at the season ending won't be too big.

I also believe that Real Madrid and Barcelona will continue to offer fierce competition for the La Liga title, as these two teams have always been rivals. Indeed, Real Madrid is currently somewhat doubtful due to their declining performance, while Barcelona's continued improvement is a key factor, leading many to doubt Real Madrid, including myself, especially given the problems they face.

Honestly, I'm more confident in Barcelona in the Champions League, and that's clear because their performance has improved since the start of the season, while Real Madrid has seen the opposite.

If it is Barcelona it is even better as far as I'm concerned you have Madrid is not in any fresh competition with anybody yeah just doing exactly what I don't know  because they have reduced in performance and the way Barcelona have been unleashing attacks even at their week Spot they are still doing very well compare to Real Madrid and this was not what we expected from the beginning of the season but look at where we are now real Madrid have given us nothing but shame this season we thought after the failed to win the La Liga last season we thought this season was going to be different but nothing have changed in fact they are worst than last season.

Honestly, I'm more confident in Barcelona in the Champions League, and that's clear because their performance has improved since the start of the season, while Real Madrid has seen the opposite.

I don't have confidence in Barcelona in the Champions League because the competition is tough and the state of Barcelona might not warranty them to be able to win the Champions League but if it is about still La Liga I have full confidence in them that they are going to win because this same to be more stable in that side the champions League maybe when they get better they might have a better chance in the Champions League but for now i don't think it will happen that way, they need to be more focused.

The competition between these two teams is fierce almost every season as if no other team occupies first or second place. So whether or not it's fierce each season doesn't matter anymore unless another team can compete with these two teams. Only then will there be strong or fierce competition. Indeed teams like Villarreal and Atletico Madrid are consistently below Real Madrid or Barcelona ​​almost every season. They can't compete with them due to their reputations and Atletico Madrid can't beat them. This also happened when Villarreal faced Barcelona ​​where Villarreal lost even though they were playing at home and Barcelona won.

Real Madrid's consistency is currently unstable as their results clearly require much improvement simply to return to their best form. They currently sit in second place four points behind their rivals. Xabi Alonso must immediately improve his players' strategies to narrow the gap with Barcelona ​​with the current four-point gap.

[Velvet78]

The next test for Xabi Alonso will be Real Betis in a home game... Recently there is improvement with their results. 2 wins in a row in the La Liga. Their defending is still not giving great signals though.  

Checking their head-to-head history, Real Madrid haven't been very comfortable against them at home. But I believe they will still win this one. Real Betis have a much worse form than them. This is a good opportunity honestly.

With Flick, Barcelona no longer stick with purpose of high ball possession, and they have aimed at how to quickly exploit defense system of opponents, score goals, that is enough with Flick's management philosophy.

The system Hansi Flick has built in terms of implementing his strategy is much more optimal. I see him not focusing so much on possession, although it took some initial adjustment for Barcelona players, as Barcelona themselves previously focused more on possession every time they played.
Hansi Flick's strategy has proven to be much better. In the past two seasons, he has successfully transformed the team, and this season, the goal of defending the La Liga title is again high after Barcelona secured a lead over Real Madrid.

Even considering Barcelona's current lineup, they have strength in attack, as they can always score goals alternately and don't just focus on one player or a pure striker.
Hansi Flick's strategy can be said to be quite successful, although at the start of the season it didn't work as well as expected, but now it's much more optimal.

There's over a week until the match, and Real Madrid's injured players have recovered during this time. Therefore, with their defenders back in shape, Real Madrid are almost certain to win against Real Betis if they field their best possible team. They've been favorites in many matches before, but have suffered surprise point losses. To avoid a similar result, they need to perform much better in this game. Because Real Betis are a very tough team and could inflict points on Real Madrid.

As I said, if Real Madrid can get their injured players back and field their best squad, they will win the match, but otherwise, they risk dropping points, and it's important to remember that Barcelona are four points ahead. If Barcelona widens the gap, Real Madrid won't be able to close it easily.

It is indeed very difficult to predict who will win the La Liga title because there is still a lot of time left for many teams to play, and of course, there could be an unexpected winner because after the January transfer window, there could be a team that surprises everyone with a better performance than usual. By mid-January, we won't know what will happen with Real Madrid and Barcelona, as they might lose points due to their busy schedules in both the Champions League and La Liga. However, I believe Real Madrid and Barcelona will still perform well despite their packed schedules, as they are accustomed to such demanding schedules. Currently, La Liga teams have ample time to recover or improve their performance, but I believe there is a strong possibility that Real Madrid and Barcelona will remain difficult to beat by any team in La Liga.

It’s not even sometimes, the defence is weak…you can see a lot of drawbacks when their main goal scorer is not fit and with Raphinha joining the injury list. On top of that, they are still trying to use a high line, which often turns into a disaster against opponents who have already mastered how to exploit it..

Lately, he has even been using more than four defenders to sustain the defence, but it feels more like defensive midfielder since Garcia is naturally a defender. They did try it in their last game though.

It is also true that these players cannot be expected to always be at the top, there are times when they must be stopped, in particular Raphinha who is a player who always spends a lot of money on the team, I understand that he is tired and that he cannot always be super performing.

Xabi Alonso should used the opportunity to convince the management of Real Madrid by getting all the wins since he has not faced a difficult opponents in his last 3 matches it's going to be 9 points in 3 matches if he is able to win against Real Betis which is very possible because they have a better performance and added advantage since they are playing at home, regardless of their history with Betis the job of Xabi Alonso should be secured and all the need is to score many goals as possible and try to improve more of their defense which appears to be the biggest challenge of the team.

Real Madrid must be wary of Real Betis's attacks, especially given their weakened defense due to several injured defenders. Real Madrid has a significant head-to-head record against Real Betis, especially when playing at home. Betis has struggled to win and has even suffered a crushing defeat. Real Madrid will want to build on their positive momentum and secure a win over Real Betis to close the gap on points with Barcelona. Therefore, considering the head-to-head record and Real Betis' inconsistent performance, Real Madrid should win this match.

[Cossyblack]

I think is also a question of luck, obviously this is something that can lead to many changes, now i think that the team is the only one that can aim to win the championship and i think that there is no other better team but things can change.

now they have to aim to do well

It isn't about luck but hard work.  Hans flick has invested so much effort in reviving Barcelona to its strong Form.  Barcelona performance has made them the most most feared side in the LaLiga. Barcelona made some few errors from the start and experience a weak form and we thoughts Real Madrid may lays hands on the title. Hans flick is a master-strategist, barcelona spot at the top of the table is a success of his plan to lead the team into a second victory. It is Hans flick aim that Barcelona win the LaLiga back to back, and could be possible through hard work.

On the other hand, Mbappé (18 goals) is the La Liga's top scorer and finished the year with a goal difference, surpassing Lewandowski (8 goals) and Ferran Torres (11 goals) of Barcelona.

Source: Mbappé ends 2025 as La Liga’s top scorer 🔥

Mbappe is competing in his own league, so far no one can compete with him, only the remote competition of Haaland and Kane exists.
It's strange that Alvarez scored only 7 goals, Atletico scored only 3 goals less than Real. Alvarez is certainly expected to be more productive, but he can't seem to raise his efficiency numbers at all. Perhaps that's why rumors have surfaced that Atlético Madrid is interested in signing Rashford? But Rashford himself has stated that he's trying to earn a place at Barcelona.

[Gallar]

Yes, since the departure of great players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos from Real Madrid, the team has been facing a lot of weakness. Although they currently have players in their positions, they are not as good as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. However, we have seen that Real Madrid's finishing is very good, where good players like Mbappe and Vinicius can give great finishing. However, Real Madrid definitely needs to have better midfielders and strengthen the defense system. Although there are some players whose performance is not very convenient, I think if the coach makes good decisions, he will definitely be able to build the team in a strong way. Since some of Real Madrid's defenders are injured, their positions will have to be filled. If Valverde is played as a right defender, there may be some changes, but I think the team needs good defenders who can do both defense and attack.

Yes, it is undeniable that after Kross and Modric left Real Madrid, Real Madrid's performance has declined. Because that is natural, because the forwards who used to be pampered with Kross's delicious passes, now they can no longer get them. So because of that, Real Madrid is still really in the adaptation phase and may have to be able to find a replacement who has good performance like Kross. But I'm sure it won't be easy, because currently Real Madrid also seems to be maximizing to be able to improve their team, but it seems to not produce optimal results either.

So because of that, Real Madrid really needs to be patient, and keep trying. Because certainly finding a great player like Kross is not easy. Because Kross also used to hone his skills really for a long time. So because of that, Real Madrid must currently focus on improving every existing gap. Because even though it will not be optimal, at least they can still compete well in La Liga.

Seems good recovery moment for all La Liga teams for their players get many days left recovery from injury or getting rest.

The teams at the bottom of the list seem to have very little chance. But I think Atlético Madrid is a potential team because they have not started the season well but are gradually improving. They have already secured third place with 37 points. Real Madrid is in second place and their points tally is currently 42. They are 4 points behind Barcelona. They have already passed the injury period for Barcelona players. The players in the team are currently in great form.

Although there are still many matches left in La Liga, it would be logical to guess the list of possible teams to win the trophy from now on. Barcelona is ahead of Real Madrid with Atlético Madrid showing great potential for more great performances in the upcoming matches. These breaks will allow the players of each team to have some free time and the injured players will try their best to recover.

Indeed these two teams must continue competing until the end of the season, because if one of them secures too many points, La Liga won't be as exciting to watch. And what's interesting is that the rivalry between these two teams is both on and off the pitch, making the atmosphere incredibly heated. As you know, Barcelona and Madrid fans are the most active on social media, constantly attacking each other.

Luka Modric was still with Real Madrid last season, but even so, it was not enough to make Real Madrid win the trophy because their performance had decreased drastically. What I think had an impact was the departure of Toni Kroos, because when Toni Kroos was still with Madrid, they could easily win trophies, but when Toni Kroos was no longer there, Real Madrid slowly began to fade. Last season, Valverde and Bellingham tried to be plotted to fill that position, but it didn't work out. This season, it was Arda Guler's turn to be pulled back, but so far, it hasn't seemed to produce good results.

This season, it was Arda Guler's turn to be pulled back, but so far, it hasn't seemed to produce good results.

Real Madrid’s current team especially the midfield was actually built for Kroos. He was the one controlling the tempo and moving the ball forward. But they didn't sign anyone for that position in the last two years. In a system like Alonso’s, you definitely need a guy who can build the play from the back and set the rhythm with high passing skills but Madrid doesn't have that player right now. That’s why he is forced to use Arda there in some matches. But Arda doesn't really know that position so he looks lost and doesn't know exactly what to do on the pitch.
