La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

....................

Yes i agree on that,  the competitiveness in the English premier league is incomparable to order leagues that why most players from other leagues finds it difficult proving there worth in the English premier league when bought. Using Manchester united transfer issues as a case study, over the years are lot of talented players have been brought to help fix Manchester united's problems but all turns to a wasted effort of both the coaches and management body but once they leave for other leagues they turn incomparable  super stars, scoring goals and giving assists in different occasions.

Yes, it must be admitted that players who previously played in the Premier League have shown excellent performance when moving to other clubs in different leagues. Conversely, some players who came from other leagues and joined the Premier League have failed. This proves that it is indeed quite difficult for a player to adapt well to the competitive Premier League. Therefore, players with experience playing in the Premier League are considered to be quite qualified and ready to play anywhere.

When it comes to La Liga, quite a few players came from the Premier League and became stars in Spain or La Liga. Names like David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo, and even Luka Modric, whose arrival at Real Madrid wasn't greeted with much fanfare, have become the backbone of Real Madrid's midfield for quite some time. And most recently, the GOAT, Antony Santos, a former Manchester United player who has successfully revived Real Betis.

Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid is not really considered because there is Mbappe there who is the goal machine, just look at Vinicius, his flying hours are not too much, and the problems he faces at Real Madrid cannot be considered small because it will affect his career dreams, moving to the Arab league is also not the best choice at his age now in addition to his good potential, there are many other European teams that can be made a place for a career and have a title with his ability his future is quite bright, so what should he be afraid of in Europe, this season's Ballon d'Or he must give up.

Vinicius Junior is having serious problems with contributing to score recently. I don't like his performance most of the time. Because he uses many opportunities as wastes nearly all of them. There is a downgrade.  

Mbappe is really carrying Real Madrid over his shoulders with his finishing this season. I must say he is carrying Xabi Alonso also. You know there have been some in-team issues which led them to get poor results in unexpected matches.

Yes, I think Vinicius is having a difficult time at Real Madrid and he seems to be experiencing a decline in form. His goals and assists statistics are quite low in 18 games throughout 2025, in fact he did not score a single goal in the Champions League this season despite contributing 2 assists. Perhaps there are changes in the playing pattern that Xabi has made to his squad, this is a kind of maximizing the potential of Kylian Mbappe as a center forward.

So far I don't know exactly what internal problems are going on in the Real Madrid squad, but several players are clearly experiencing a decline in performance, including Bellingham. I think the same thing happened to Rodrygo, even though he tends to get more playing time than some of the other players on the bench.

[BRINIRHA]

Sure. It’s really too early, many clubs are still fighting for the title this season, already the two clubs which Barcelona and Real Madrid are still fighting for the top spot, I can see that many are saying Barcelona will win while Madrid fans are saying they will soon go back to the top spot, and they will win the title.

Both teams have the chance to win this match, but it’s too early to decide which of them will win this match, because we all know that there is a long way to go, and many matches are there to be play, the best thing is to wait and see what will happen.

Well, the competition will continue to be fierce. and, with so many games remaining this season, it seems that everything is still uncertain as to which team will truly be the favorite. For now, I still favor Barcelona. but we don't know what will happen when the season reaches its midpoint and then its end. Last season, there were also drastic changes from the midpoint to the end. However, I want the competition to be more than just between Real Madrid and Barcelona. I want an exciting season like when Girona joined the competition and added a different flavor. But this season, it feels like everything is back to normal.

[Mame89]

Real Madrid is 4 points behind Barcelona. This is not a big  gap. So I would say that both teams still have equal chances of winning the title. Barcelona is unlikely to win all their next matches. If barcelona loses points, Real madrid will  have to take advantage of the opportunity. They must play consistently well. Otherwise, it will not be possible for Madrid to regain the top spot of the table.

I agree with you that Madrid's main problem is the  lack of good relationship  between the players. If the relationship between the players was good, Madrid's overall performance would have been much stronger. Especially the bonding of the forwards with the midfielders is weak. Real Madrid cannot find a worthy replacement for toni kroos and Modric.

With a 4 point gap I can guarantee that the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be fierce until the end of the season. Four points isn't a significant gap for Real Madrid especially with one more El Clasico match remaining which will usually be decisive.

Barcelona is currently in top form making it difficult for them to drop points. However in football, there are sometimes unlucky days when it's difficult to score against weaker teams which can lead to points being dropped. So the unexpected is still possible for both teams given their busy schedules.

The loss of Toni Kross and Modric has indeed diminished Real Madrid's midfield and Xabi Alonso is currently searching for the right formation to make their attack more productive. However so far Xabi has succeeded in pairing Arda with Jude in midfield. Real Madrid's weakness lies in defense, so Xabi's main focus right now is finding a way to deal with several injured defenders.

[Danica22]

You remember Sevilla's last season performance right? They barely managed to stay right above the relegation zone. By only 1 point! 

For now they are in a safe place at the 10th position. But as a reminder the gap between them and the zone is 5 points now. Not a big gap you know.

I can't say they are getting good results these days either. What do you say? Another relegation danger ahead?

Sevilla's performance has improved a bit compared to the previous season. But the team is still not in a good position. Their performance is very irregular. The  gap between girona and sevilla in the relegation zone is only  5 points. So if sevilla loses truck again, there is a possibility that they  will fall into the relegation zone. But it is sad to see such a bad decline for a renowned club like sevilla. Sevilla  management should take necessary steps to strengthen the squad. Especially , it is important to strengthen Sevilla's defense first.

[ITExpert]

Real Madrid is true, i agree with you in saying that they absolutely need more men in defense, it is a very necessary thing for them if they want to try to stay where they are and not risk going even lower than they have done so far, even if they want to try to win against Barcelona.

They have to rebuild the team and this needs to be done now, it is very important to do it now because now that there are still some very strong players it is possible to add some additional pieces but then if it is not done immediately there is a risk of causing significant damage.

Real Madrid is a team which has the potential to do things greatly but for some reason they are not performing the way they can. The team has to focus on their issues and try to have the best solution for them and make an ideal position on the points table and in their fans too. I think the coach has to play his hundred percent to make the team better and worthy. Because it is the responsibility of the coach that if there is any need of players or other things he has to point out and go for a better solution.  Barcelona is a better and stronger team than Real Madrid according to their performances. Barcelona has the best players and a strong squad which makes them able to win and maintain their performances. But if there will be any comparison or a bet on both teams that which are the best I think I will go with Barcelona.

Mbappe is really carrying Real Madrid over his shoulders with his finishing this season. I must say he is carrying Xabi Alonso also. You know there have been some in-team issues which led them to get poor results in unexpected matches.

Vini's role at the moment is a little different to before because it looks like Xabi is starting to try to instruct the ball all to Mbappe as a goal scorer and this is what makes Vini always a supplier for Mbappe. His current statistics even have more assists than goals.

There are situations where Vini still has a big ego by carrying the ball around the pitch but compared to the previous few seasons, this season Vini is a bit more controlled.
He can still prove himself but on the one hand, the level of fan satisfaction is sometimes different but for me this condition reminds me of the BBC trio era because the conditions are almost the same where in the past the ball had to be all on Cristiano but now the era has moved to Mbappe.

Real Madrid's weakness lies in defense, so Xabi's main focus right now is finding a way to deal with several injured defenders.

You mentioned Kross and Modric, who have long been absent from the team, and in my opinion, Real's main problem right now isn't their midfield, but their defense due to a rash of injuries. 4 points is close, but we need to consider the dynamic. Not long ago, Real was ahead of Barcelona, ​​but now everything is moving in the opposite direction. If Real continues to drop points, Barca could widen that gap even further. They don't have any particularly tough opponents on their schedule right now, so I don't expect them to drop points unless Real springs another surprise.

[KTChampions]

Real Madrid got bad news, reporting from Fabrizio Rumano twitter ahead of the match against Real Betis on matchday 18 Kylian Mbappe have been suffering from a sprained ligament and the official team already release with his injury and out from the next match. The official still not announce yet how many week Mbappe will absent for Real Madrid exactly at crucial position due have many matches to play after La Liga break almost two week.
Xabi Alonso must rotate and looking for who will replace Kylian Mbappe position after loaning Enrick to Lyon and right now has left only Gonzalo Garcia as central forward, wish Mbappe not absent for longer time because Madrid will play at Champion League match two weeks later and its crucial match if won't drop to playoff round spot standings.


FabrizioRomano

I see on the news that the minimum period is 3 weeks. Damn, I'm so tired of this. Maybe he shouldn't have pushed himself so hard at the end of the year to match Ronaldo's record? Endrik's departure to Lyon is also an unpleasant coincidence. There are not such difficult games ahead (excluding the game in the Cup with Atletico), but Mbappe is still Real's main striker and now any loss of points could mean the end of the title race. It's time for Vinnie to remind us of his scoring qualities, which he hasn't shown for a long time.

Yeah. But people are already predicting, even when we know there is still a lot of matches to be played, and the season is still far to even know which if this two clubs will win the la Liga trophy, right now Barcelona is the top club we know.

But that doesn’t guarantee that they will win the trophy. Because there is still a lot of matches that will be played, and nobody know if Barcelona will continue keeping their consistency till ending of the season or there will be changes, it’s happen in some season.

Where a team will be dominating and later loose their form during the die minutes, so anything can happen, let’s no rush and predict.

That what happens to Real madrid this season we think that they will continuing dominating the league since they started the season with old performance, but now the are struggling in the league competition we don't know how the season will probably ended because I still get the believe that Madrid can turn things around and get the chance to top the league , and get the opportunity to top the league and win the league title but currently we can't predict we don't know how the competition will probably be this season. But now that even Mbappe as get injured and they are thinking he will be back next three weeks can madrid do well and defeat real Betis this weekend or they will lose the game and make Barcelona continuing leading the league table with given more gaps in the league.

[Baki202]

Vinicius Junior is having serious problems with contributing to score recently. I don't like his performance most of the time. Because he uses many opportunities as wastes nearly all of them. There is a downgrade.  

And for so time now have been noticing that Vinicius Junior have been under performing and that have been affecting real Madrid one way or the other because we know how Vinicius Junior use to play and even when it comes to assist, Vinicius Junior is always doing wonders but now he has diclined in performance seriously and his always wasting a lot of opportunities, and this season is almost gone let's hope that next season things will improve in that club because everything as gone wrong over there. Because Barcelona are even expecting something better. And that is why they are leading them.

Mbappe is really carrying Real Madrid over his shoulders with his finishing this season. I must say he is carrying Xabi Alonso also. You know there have been some in-team issues which led them to get poor results in unexpected matches.

And the team work in real Madrid is affected and that is why sometimes is effort is not appreciated and it is now as if the like of mbappe is not even shinning in that club and we are expected something more from him because he was also doing over when he was in psg, he should also do the same thing here and even in the last world cup mbppabe was supper active. Everything have so much changed but we hope for a better next season.

Vinicius Jr. needs to show his strength on the field now. He can fill Mbappé's shoes very well during his absence for a few weeks, because before Mbappé joined, he was the team's top scorer. Let's see how he'll shoulder the team's goalscoring burden during this period. I also think Rodrygo will be important during this time. Many people expected him to leave the team, but perhaps he'll do his best by staying, we don't know.

[red4slash]

Their condition this season does look very different and quite severe because they really can't make some breakthroughs like they always did in previous seasons.

17 matches they only managed to get 4 wins which looks a lot of worry even in the last 4 weeks they were only able to win 1 point.
Facing Atletico actually this could be a disaster for them but on the one hand I hope they can give their best performance because after all they have a squad that is actually quite good just how they grow mentality and make their performance the same as before which always troubles some big clubs and subscription champions.
This is indeed quite difficult for Sociedad but they inevitably have to do this if they want good conditions at the end of the season, if they lose again to Atletico then their position in the main competition could be threatened and move to Segunda.

True this season they have achieved more disappointment than victories, this crisis seems not to want to pass, personally i see their commitment but apparently it is not just commitment that is enough.
Facing Atletico couldn't be a disaster, in my opinion it's a disaster but are there alternatives in this regard?
They now have to face all the challenges that arise head on.

They're trying a number of things to improve their form including a change of coach and I think its a brave move by Sociedad so far but it's also a gamble at the end of the day because any change of coach in the middle of the season could make the situation worse.

A blunt attack line and a defense that is easy to penetrate are problems that they still cannot solve so far.
Although for the size of an ordinary club it is not too bad but a little different when the situation is faced for Sociedad because after all they have always been one of the dark horse club that are always troublesome and the current conditions are very much different even this is their worst season in the last 5 seasons.
Facing Atletico they will play as home but their home game record is also currently not too good so this will still be very difficult it seems for them.

[MK-74]

Xabi Alonso is not managing Real Madrid well, and I think everyone agrees on that. We can see that he still hasn’t been able to solve these issues.

In my opinion, Real Madrid no longer has a squad as high quality as it used to. Some players are simply not suitable for this team and you can clearly see that when you compare them to the old squads.

As for Rodrygo, he is definitely a player who should be playing. There were some problems at the beginning of the season, but I think those issues have now been resolved.

I don't know why vini Jr can't perform very well since he lose the Ballon d'Or, the next season he start to perform weak and change all is games without even given enough asiste the way he use to give when benzima is still in madrid because many of the goals benzima score before he get the opportunity to win the Ballon d'Or is vini Jr that always do the hard works and give the strikers to score easy way, but now everything as chance vini Jr is performing weak and making xabi Alonso is substituting him in some games and making him get angry. Now that Mbappe is injured let see how the games will be against Real Betis if they can win the game without Mbappe.

[$weetne$$]

Many people expected him to leave the team, but perhaps he'll do his best by staying, we don't know.

Mbappe and Vinicius play differently, Mbappe is a pure striker and vinicius is not and so he cannot perfectly replace or stand in place for Mbappe, I remember before Mbappe joined them, it was obvious and clear they needed that striker by the way they performed and the result  they were produced, so Vinicius is not a perfect replacement but can considerably stand in in the absence of Mbappe due to bow well he performs but he cannot stand as a replacement perfectly.

It's time for Vinnie to remind us of his scoring qualities, which he hasn't shown for a long time.

I don't think it was about pushing himself so hard, though. He wasn't just getting enough rest and the only recent time I recall he did get a rest, Real Madrid lost miserably and some fans even complained as to why Xabi did not start Mbappe.
The Mbappe dependency syndrome is one Real Madrid's ass and I don't know how they will get out of this one but they need to get nearly good alternative forwards.

[LUCKMCFLY]

When a club gives priority to their attack than defenders, this is how it will turn out to because their defense will be weak and porous. Real Madrid paid less attention to get extra defenders for replacement in case injury pops up. They're suffering from their mistakes, giving Barcelona the upper hand to defend the league.

Yes, and that translates into an unsustainable incapacity, that's why Madrid has to correct it now and if they don't they won't win anything, because it's not just about losing 1st place, 1st place is what you have to fight for the most throughout the entire league, 1 point lost is worth its weight in gold, so you can't be overconfident and you have to fix that huge defensive problem.
