La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Roseline492]

After Real Madrd changed coaches, I thought their performance would improve slightly, but it turned out their performance actually declined significantly. Because in the previous match,, Real Madrid lost to a team that was basically not strong at all, namely Albacete. Honestlyy, all of this was really surprising, because in this match Real Madrid lost by a fairly large score, namely 3-2, so that's why I personally really don't understand Real Madrid's current performance.

Even in premier League all the teams that recently change coaches are still seeing more coaching issues, if it was Alonso, Albacete would have lost because apart from there weak they also have not won match on the league 2 four matches so even as the league is small to the La Liga league 1 they are part of the team whom the league is not sure of relegation exemption because they are  semi bottom club so actually Real Madrid wasn't in any imagination of losing to this. 5 goals would have waited for real Madrid if Alvaro Arbeloa was assigned on the Barcelona time they meet them.

[Different patterns]

The La Liga returns in a few days. Real Madrid will play their match earlier than Barcelona this week. It is against Levante home. It is going to be Arbeloa's 2nd match with Real Madrid together with the Albacete one tonight.

2 wins in these 2 matches is what people will expect of course. Do you believe there will be any surprising result? New manager and new strategies are yet to arrive. I hope they don't get much worse than this.

Barcelona are much more likely to win the La Liga now by the way. 

I also think that Real Madrid will exploit this advantage with the new coach to try a new formation and most likely we will prepare for a great comeback of Real, because in my opinion the problem was most likely the coach,Now if he can solve the problems they will succeed

The team just need to start doing things differently and also not just doing things differently but with a result if they can solve that I believe they will most definitely be a dangerous team as they use to be. And I believe that's what they have been trying to do now. I wish them well

[Supreme Donvic]

Albacete isn't just a lower division team, they're also one of the worst teams in the Segunda Division. It's still early 2026, and I never thought Real Madrid could pull off such a ridiculous prank. Despite just changing coaches, Real Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world, and how could they lose in the final minutes? This was a terrible start for Álvaro Arbeloa, losing to a team that isn't even in La Liga. Coincidentally, they lost 3-2, the same scoreline they lost to Barcelona. 

Till this moment, it still does surprise a whole lot of persons how Madrid lost to this team. Will it even be okay to blame this on the change of coach? Because at s time it seems like a structural problem and Madrid probably had a bad day with that fixture too, it was a lucky day for Albacete and so let us count it as one for them and allow them enjoy thr victory they got.

Madrid lost the match because of the sacked coach and they will continue losing matches till the new coach starts working with the players very well, for now he will still be trying to adapt to Real Madrid and that will take a very long time, but I heard he’s a Real Madrid former player so it won’t take that long for him because he understands how the club operates a little but one thing we all should understand is that being a coach and being a player in a club is totally a different thing but I wish them well however in this season Real Madrid will not lift any trophy.
What Real Madrid should concentrate on is to make sure that they build their club very well because a lot of things is wrong with Real Madrid right now and they have to make sure those things are working and in order.

[Pandu Geddon]

The outcome was very much unexpected, yet I am not convinced that only the replacement of the coach can explain it. Arbeloa had some grounds to be given a chance but the problems appeared to be more structural in nature, inexperienced concentration, making defensive mistakes and possibly overrated a weaker team. Such a game should never be lost by Real Madrid, under all circumstances. Nevertheless, football is rough and inexplicable. Albacete made their chances count and battled to the last, thus it has to be acknowledged that they captured a very rare and memorable victory.

Madrid is in a difficult situation, and a change in the coaching position will clearly affect the game. A debut with a poor result will surely bring negative reactions from many parties. But let's try to see how his role develops in the next few matches. If there is no progress, it is possible that just after a few games, there could be another coaching change. Madrid always has high targets and expectations.

[armanda90]

Last season, Real Madrid struggled with injuries to key players, and this season, Madrid is again facing problems with the departure of their coach. Two consecutive seasons of decline have been a boon for Barcelona, ​​allowing them to win the title this season. Yesterday's match was truly embarrassing against a lower division team, yet Madrid lost. With this incident, I'm confident the board of directors will begin looking for a suitable new coach as soon as possible.

Two season in a row become bad moment for Madrid and their fans how last season not winning any one tittle yet and the same problem for this season after sacking Xabi Alonso as manager. Real Madrid recently loss one tittle after eliminating at Copa del Rey match and unbelievable defeating by the segunda division teams, Arbeloa as new head coach for Real Madrid still has many time to improve his quality by giving the victory for Madrid in La Liga matches.

Today, Barcelona will face the segunda division team at Copa del Rey match and likely Barcelona will not get difficult to win this match, as the defending champion of Copa del Rey Barcelona has motivate for treble winner this season by winning La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champion League tittles.

This isn't surprising to me. Real Madrid is almost like that when they play in the Copa del Rey. They don't seem serious in the Copa del Rey and it's like that almost every year which is why they've never been able to win the treble even though they've won a hattrick in the UCL. So, for some reason Real Madrid seems reluctant to play in the Copa del Rey every year especially in the round of 16/32 which is why they've mostly been eliminated in the round of 16. Last season was the same struggling in the round of 16 even reaching AET+. The pattern in previous seasons was similar.

But on the other hand, Real Madrid's defeat to Albacete was devastating especially since it was Arbeloa's first match when they should have won their first match to boost their confidence. Arbeloa has a lot of work to do right now especially making the Real Madrid dressing room more conducive as this is what will enable Real Madrid to bounce back. Real Madrid's next match will be against La Liga. This will be a challenge for Arbeloa. If he fails to win I think their hopes of winning the La Liga trophy this season will be dashed.

Who even brought the idea that Alvaro arbeloa should be made as the new coach of real madrid when their are much better managers out there that knows the coaching job more, or do they think that a good player determines a good coach?
Because it doesn't makes any sense in sacking xabi Alonso in the first place because of players that were disrespectful to him, and to make the matters worse, they went and brought someone that doesn't know jack about coaching an elite team like real madrid.
The only good thing about this is that the spotlight will now be on those players that gang up against their manager, if the team will do better now that he is no longer at the club, if they improves, it will be clear that the manager pattern doesn't suit this types of player, but if they are even worse, then we all are going to conclude that they are all full of shit.

Despite Real Madrid inconsistency I strongly believe that they will come back in a strong way because they are not like other teams, they have materials which can make things happen within a very short time, real Madrid should just prepared themselves against next season to comeback with a very strong squad, because as it is now barcelona will not give a chance and I also don't see any signs at all around Barcelona to give up their chances to Real Madrid.

Alvaro arbeloa start with a defeat but I wait and see how he performed in the next match, to be honest this is not a very good start for a team like that, my effort to bring changes to the club so that they will not regret hiring him. I think by now it is now clear that Barcelona will definitely win the league because many things as affected Real Madrid.

Unlucky start for Alvaro Arbeloa as Real Madrid loses 3-2 against a 2nd division club. It was one of the most unexpected result this year. Real Madrid did rested many of the top players like Mbappe, Bellingham to give others a chance considering the 2nd division team to be the weak one but it backfired and they got eliminated.
The team was not entirely a new either, Vinicius Junior, Valverde and Guler were on the team but the counter goals from Albacete made Real Madrid lose even though Real Madrid had the most control of the ball.

[verdinio]

Behaviors change the mood of people and players, even if they change coaches if the behaviors remain that way, the situation will remain that way or perhaps even worse.
You have to change your mentality, they have a very respectable squad of players, but they are not respectful of each other.
Unfortunately, education and common sense either you have it or you don't, there is no middle ground.
They have hope of recovering how they have a chance of destroying the team the fans are tired of seeing these nursery situations.

I think this is really wrong and that this thing has to change, we can't go on like this, the players have to respect the coach's words and if the coach says that it can't be done like this and the players can't decide, only the coach has to make the decisions.

[bastisisca]

However, I don't think Real Madrid will be able to get any trophy this season, considering the way things are going for them. It will be a bit hard for them to achieve that because getting a well-experienced coach now is not a joke.

I think they're in a very bad situation, they're drawing with very weak teams and that's not good.
They are certainly paying dearly for having abruptly and brutally changed their coach.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, this season is going to be thrown in the garbage bin for them.

Albacete isn't just a lower division team, they're also one of the worst teams in the Segunda Division. It's still early 2026, and I never thought Real Madrid could pull off such a ridiculous prank. Despite just changing coaches, Real Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world, and how could they lose in the final minutes? This was a terrible start for Álvaro Arbeloa, losing to a team that isn't even in La Liga. Coincidentally, they lost 3-2, the same scoreline they lost to Barcelona. 

Despite the rotation in the lineup, Real played this match well, and they scored two goals. And I think that against a team of this level, that should have been enough for a win, but as Real has already shown this season, their poor defense sometimes lets them down, and that’s exactly what happened yesterday. I expected Real to be able to beat a second-division team even taking into account that they would play with a non main squad. But once again, they ruined my bet this season.

I don't want to be so emotional about that result but Madrid is a team i love so much, right from the days of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo, the partnership of those two Madrid me love the club so much and I hope they recover from this, I was aware that after Alonso got sacked they might experience a little challenge but not losing to a lover division Spanish team.

 Real Madrid conceded three goals, which mean that their defense was poor and they need to work on it, cause it they could lose to second division team, then you could imagine the havoc that would be rained on them by a midtable team in the Laliga, Arbeloa has lots to do to put the players back in shape especially the defenders.

There's no actual position to put the blame on for Real Madrid loss because their overall performance was very poor. They struggled to score goals look at the minutes Real Madrid made their equalizing goals. This is a knockout game which I expected them to be serious. I knew it wasn't going to be easy for them to play with a new coach at this crucial time, but it's very embarrassing for Real Madrid to be eliminated by Albacete The guys are struggling in relegation zone in their league.

Honestly the problem of Real Madrid is getting out of hand. Just recently they lost the Super Cup trophy to Barcelona, and now they've got kicked out of the Copa del Rey. How is this going to sound that Real Madrid lost two cups at a time? In my opinion it's very disappointing and again I don't think Arbeloa is capable of coaching this team with their recent form. I'm not sure if he can last in this team as Xabi Alonso because the problem with Real Madrid is the players are far bigger than the coach, which isn't supposed to be so.

[Smack That Ace]

The outcome was very much unexpected, yet I am not convinced that only the replacement of the coach can explain it. Arbeloa had some grounds to be given a chance but the problems appeared to be more structural in nature, inexperienced concentration, making defensive mistakes and possibly overrated a weaker team. Such a game should never be lost by Real Madrid, under all circumstances. Nevertheless, football is rough and inexplicable. Albacete made their chances count and battled to the last, thus it has to be acknowledged that they captured a very rare and memorable victory.

Albacete had only 25% ball possession in this match. Even then they scored 3 goals against Madrid's strong defence. I would say this is Madrid's biggest failure.

Madrid is a strong team. Even with a second tier squad they should have had an easy win against ALbacete. But due to poor performance of the defenders they lost the match. A change of manager could be a reason for their defeat. But I wonder how much those who bet on Albacete's win have profited.

[Shadiq]

Who even brought the idea that Alvaro arbeloa should be made as the new coach of real madrid when their are much better managers out there that knows the coaching job more, or do they think that a good player determines a good coach?

The only good thing about this is that the spotlight will now be on those players that gang up against their manager, if the team will do better now that he is no longer at the club, if they improves, it will be clear that the manager pattern doesn't suit this types of player, but if they are even worse, then we all are going to conclude that they are all full of shit.

Alvaro's debut match was worse than expected, I at least expected Real Madrid to win the match, even if it was very difficult. But they lost the match against a relatively weak team and had to return home with a humiliating defeat. Real Madrid have already lost everything this season, such a bad decision was needed to make Madrid's unstable situation even more unstable.

I look at the players who were against Xabi Alonso. Personally, I never put those players in my list of favorites, Vinicius and Mbappe are jealous. I will keep a special eye on these players and his team under Alvaro. Sending Xabi Alonso away was not a good decision for Real Madrid at all, but rather those players who were unable to adapt to Xabi should have been sent away. The respect for the teacher should have been higher than the disciple, especially for the disciples who have a weakness for building relationships.

After Real Madrd changed coaches, I thought their performance would improve slightly, but it turned out their performance actually declined significantly.

Honestlyy, all of this was really surprising, because in this match Real Madrid lost by a fairly large score, namely 3-2, so that's why I personally really don't understand Real Madrid's current performance.

We can never judge a coach by the results of one match. Because he has just joined the team, we can judge how suitable he is for the team by seeing the results of 2 to 3 more matches. Real Madrid's position has been in a very bad situation for a long time and their midfield and defense have been very weak for a long time. If Real Madrid cannot improve in the next two or three matches, then we can say that the coach has failed.

This funny, a new coach losing to a division two club. Do you think that there will be any hope for Madrid to achieve their best performance with Alvaro Arbeloa. His first match was a total failure and disappointment.

Things are not working out for Madrid as everyone thought this season will be a good one for them but they're still struggling without a promising coach.

I think this is just the beginning, hahahah they have the guts to sack Xabi Alonso I pity them, like I was saying who is that coach that will come and adapt to the league so easily without having a problem? Xabi Alonso was actually holding the team to a good shape besides the team was not really good when Ancelotti left the team but the arrival of Xabi Alonso actually changed a lot yet they seem not to have noticed that now he's gone and they're already losing to an unknown team, and note that is not a lucky winning from them should in case people might be thinking it's a lucky winning, they actually scored three good goals in that game which only shows how weak Real Madrid was in that game, I just hope they get better because I still like them.

[JeffBrad12]

Barcelona vs Racing Santander will begin soon. This sounds easy game for Barcelona. However, the key point need to highlight if they may be performing with 2nd team. I predict that caused by their opponent is an easy team. I meant i don't be so cocky they can crush their opponent easily, but the gap is big.
As you can see how they always dominant in h2h against Racing Santander too. yet, i don't rule the possibility for them to conceded at very least one goal. So i think total over 3 seems logic to be chosen as our bet. What's your prediction?

It is a shame for real madrid to lose against a team like Albacete. They should have won this match. Albacete is not a strong squad. Such a weak team scored 3 goals against Madrid's defense. On the other hand, Madrid, despite having players like Vini, Arda, Valverde and Garcia in the attack, could not score more than 2 goals. I was most disappointed with vinicius performance. He performed very poorly . Vini  managed only 3 shots in the whole match. I would not  say that Madrid were unlucky, so they lost. Their overall gameplay was weak.

Madrid is in big mess, they conveniently cut my slip yesterday, although I was also surprised but what I don't understand is why Realmadrid will allow such, the team we are talking about has no class, they are not in any way close to Realmadrid starting from Realmadrid first eleven, I know that football can be something else sometimes but Realmadrid losing to such team is not something they should just let slide, it means the team has a problem, they really need to fix this before it is too late, one thing i do do is trying to look less of any team, those guys won whether by luck as you said or anything the my won and madrid should hide their face in shame for that.
