La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[logfiles]

I can't wrap my mind around the fact that Villarreal has official dropped out of the UEFA Champion's League with only one point in the last 7 matches yet in the same season they are seated in the 3rd positions in la Liga with 41 points after 19 matches. Make this make sense.
I think Real Madrid will likely win the upcoming match. Tonight's result in the UCL is a boost to their confidence.

I will say you shouldn’t over think it because this is not the first time we have seen clubs actually do well in a champions league match and then be so poor in the league, or the player is actually doing better or the club is doing better in the league but seriously struggling in the champions league, this is what is happening to Villarreal and I will be saying that Real Madrid should never use this to actually measure their strength or weakness because we have seen smaller clubs going on to hurt the club.

Real Madrid themselves on the other hand are also not thst good they were just coming out of a crisis wguch coast them their manager while some factions of the team do not want this one too in the dugout, so they themselves have their own internal problem that can be used against them

Let's focus more on Villarreal because this your observation is very strong to over look. 3rd on the log tells so much that Villarreal will be dominating the other teams in the champions league but when you see their position it becomes surprising, like they're not serious with the champions league or have they given up already? If yes that they have given up, can they try to win the La Liga title? If they can't continue with the amount of pressure from the UCL.

It could be said that Barcelona was unlucky in this match. Despite their positive performance in recent weeks, they were defeated by Real Sociedad and lost the chance to get three points.
It was a defeat that was not expected because Barcelona were quite confident that they could beat Real Sociedad, but instead they had to lose due to the referee's controversial decision that annulled 2 goals Yamal and Lopez, which made barcelona unable to win this match.

With this defeat the gap between Barcelona and real madrid is very thin. The race for the title is getting more exciting.

This defeat must have been painful for Barcelona, especially since they were confident of winning the match. At the same time, Barcelona was also the favorite team, so it was disappointing to see this result. In terms of their performance, Barcelona played quite well. On several occasions, they were able to create opportunities to score goals, but they were unable to maximize them. On the other hand, we know that Real Sociedad has a solid defense capable of repelling attacks from the Real Madrid squad. Additionally, the referee's decision to disallow two goals came as a surprise, something truly unexpected.

With this loss, the points gap with Real Madrid has narrowed. The title race has become more intense and nerve wracking. For Real Madrid, this is a valuable opportunity that must not be missed, they must be able to win the upcoming matches. It is not impossible for them to climb to the top of the standings if Barcelona suffers another loss or draw.

They gave Ajax numerous opportunities and lost the game towards the end. It was a bad game for Villarreal. They will play against Real Madrid this weekend, and as we saw in this match, they are making a lot of defensive mistakes. I thought Real Madrid would struggle against them, but I guess I was wrong. Real Madrid will score at least three goals against this team. Real Madrid is gradually improving its performance in Spain. It seems like Villarreal won't pose a major problem for them.

The point is,, the competition in La Liga and the Champions League is very different, so it's understandable that Villarreal hasn't been able to perform well in the Champions League. Perhaps the Champions League is too tough for Villarreal right now. Villarreal faces very strong teams in this competition,, which is why they haven't been able to win until Week 7.

Furthermore,, speakingg of Real Madrid, they truly put on a ferocious performance against Monaco last night. They won with A resounding 6-1 score. With that, The Real Madrid players' confidence will undoubtedly be even higher. Therefore,, in the upcoming match against Villarreal, I think Real Madrid can win quite easily. They are currently in excellent form. Furthermore, the points gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is currently very slim, just one point. So with this,, it is certain that Real Madrid players will be very enthusiastic to be able to win the upcoming match, so that they can shift Barcelona's position from the top of the standings...

Yes, you don't need to be surprised because this is the reality that exists and cannot be denied by anything. Because, since the past, the representative teams from La Liga, only Barcelona and Real Madrid have always managed to survive and shine in the UCL. Besides those two teams, perhaps only Atletico Madrid can sometimes perform quite well. So, a team like Villarreal, for now, seems to be classed only at the La Liga level. Perhaps if we talk about international competitions, perhaps in the Europa League or the Conference League, Villarreal could last longer.

But In the UCL, i think it's clear that Villarreal will absolutely not be able to do it at this time. Furthermoree, it's not only Villarreal who is currently failing in the UCL, but Bilbao is also certain to fail. Because currently Bilbao is in 32nd place and with the remaining matches, they most likely will not have a chance to enterr the playoffs. So, that's why the teams from La Ligaa that are currently surviving are definitely Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid.

Villarreal is one of the top teams in La Liga but they've been inconsistent in their Champions League campaign and they recently suffered a defeat to visiting Ajax.
While we know the quality of Villarreal and Ajax is not much different as both teams have strong reputations Villarreal's result is highly inappropriate. They're currently showing strong results in La Liga so it's highly inappropriate for them to lose to a visiting team in this match considering Villarreal's current strong standing. This is undoubtedly due to the quality of their players. Therefore I dare say this is something the team nicknamed the Yellow Submarine should not have deserved.

This victory gives Real Madrid a good starting position for their next La Liga match where they will be hosting Villarreal. They will take this victory against Monaco to Villarreal's headquarters aiming to get another three points at Villarreal's headquarters. With a fairly convincing score they defeated Monaco as if returning to Real Madrid's best form from several seasons ago. Real Madrid desperately needs points to continue improving their position in La Liga as they are currently below their arch-rivals Barcelona.

Real Sociedad were extraordinary. I was also quite surprised by their performance. Beating Barcelona in La Liga was a good thing, and it closed the gap between them and the other teams in the standings. I was really looking forward to a match like this. It gave Real Madrid a huge opportunity to catch up. Now they have a one-point lead, which is very good in my opinion.
Whether they'll shift their focus to the Champions League is anyone's guess. What's certain is that they lost yesterday's match. Although Madrid also have shortcomings in the Champions League, I think what they showed today was a reflection of their team.

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are actually focused on the Champions League, and yesterday Real Madrid won by a lot against Monaco in the Champions League. As for Barcelona, ​​I don't know if they'll win by a lot in the Champions League today, as several strong teams also suffered quite surprising defeats in the Champions League. Although what happened to Barcelona at Real Sociedad was also quite a surprising result, as Barcelona suffered an unexpected defeat in La Liga yesterday.

I was impressed with the way Real Madrid turned out in their game against Monaco, the performance was at peak. You wouldn't even believe Real Madrid were in the ones on that field. If only they can triple that effect in Laliga, I don't think they will have the problems Xavi has been battling with for the past 3 months if we overruled the players behavior and personal relationship in the club, I don't think they are going to have any problem here in the Champions League.

Barcelona didn't do well in their last match, I expect them to turn up, we are only two matches left for this stage to finish before everyone advance to the next stage of the knockouts. It's going to look disappointing and strange that Barcelona were removed from this stage  unless if they qualify in the play off stage but that's a 50:50 chance, they can get pair with the very least team that is not serious and get eliminated on the play off, it's better they qualify or jeopardize there position.

Villarreal has been good since the beginning of this campaign and we could not have believed the effort they put to get this far in the league, but at some point they started dropping form and their performance was as if their best players was sold out or out due to injury. Playing against the struggling Madrid would have been a very tight game but their energy towards that game was different and the question remains, what's happening to Villarreal today? Before the red card ♦️ I was already disappointed with their mode of play but this coming fixture I won't expect much from them till I see how they flow with the game.

Real Madrid performance against Monaco was really an impressive one and I think Barcelona should win their next match in the Champions League also  because they’ll be facing Slavia Praha who haven’t won any of their games in the champions league..they lost three and draw three, so basically Barcelona have high chances of winning this game tonight.

I also didn’t expect Barcelona losing to Real Sociedad in that game, even though Real Sociedad were the weak team in the game..Barcelona has been performing really well this season but this is football, you don’t always win. Right now if Barcelona draw a lose their next game against Real Oviedo..and Real Madrid manage to win their next game then Barcelona would lose the top spot on the Laliga title race.

Barcelona's defeat was simply due to their bad luck and I'm sure Barcelona will be able to show their best performance in the next match and I'm now only focusing on Real Madrid's performance, in the last 2 matches they've started to improve so this could be an indication that Arbeloa is slowly adapting to the team and that's a positive sign for the competition for the championship title and I think it will make La Liga even more interesting.

AS Monaco are not at a same level of Real Madrid and Real Madrid after some bad results truly need a big bounce. This win actually heals many things in the club and it can help Arbeloa doing his management in coming matches with less pressure. Real Madrid can not improve their quality entirely with same players who in previous matches during a first half of season, have shown some weakness and mistakes. Positively, if they can improve and perform better, they will gain better results and end this season with acceptable rank in La Liga like a runner up while going to very last phase in Champions League.

This defeat must have been painful for Barcelona, especially since they were confident of winning the match.

With this loss, the points gap with Real Madrid has narrowed. The title race has become more intense and nerve wracking. For Real Madrid, this is a valuable opportunity that must not be missed, they must be able to win the upcoming matches. It is not impossible for them to climb to the top of the standings if Barcelona suffers another loss or draw.

One point is the present difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid that is a very small gap and can be flipped anytime by Real Madrid. Barcelona have better attacking power but Real Madrid have less conceded goals which show opposite strength and weakness of two competitors. Barcelona still lead La Liga but they must play very careful with this small gap that does not give them any safe first position till the season ending with many matches in remaining months.

As it stands, it's only one point separating real madrid and Barcelona, so the title race is still very open, I can't come to the conclusion that real madrid are finally back to their best because they haven't played up to six games since Arbeloa took over, and additionally, the improvement of real madrid doesn't seems like the impact of Arbeloa, it's more of the players determination to prove a point that xabi Alonso is the problem, that is why they are giving their all, which seems like a much more improvement since they are winning games, but after six to seven games and an encounter against a stronger opposition, that's when we can be rest assured, if they are ready for a proper title race or they are just doing all these to stop the criticism and boos aim at them from their fan base.

[Tonimez]

I can't wrap my mind around the fact that Villarreal has official dropped out of the UEFA Champion's League with only one point in the last 7 matches yet in the same season they are seated in the 3rd positions in la Liga with 41 points after 19 matches. Make this make sense.
I think Real Madrid will likely win the upcoming match. Tonight's result in the UCL is a boost to their confidence.

There are some things that happen in football that does not have any explanation because that's all I want to believe because how on earth is Villarreal having just a single point in the champions League while seated on the third place in the league. But while I was pondering on that I quickly remembered the reverse which is MAINZ the Bundesliga team currently sitting on the relegation zone, just second to last position in Bundesliga but is well seated presently at the 7th position in the Uefa conference league (Note: just 3 points away from the table leaders Strasbourg) with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss so far in their 6 games.

Sometimes I feel that it is a matter of where the coaches interest lies. There are coaches that will focus on pursuing the league because they believe the European league could be unrealistic while other coaches would analyse that the European league has less fixtures to face and then they will focus on it instead of the league which will have so many games. So this is football, a game of numbers and that's all I would say.

[Luzin]

The surprising result for Barcelona is very advantageous for Real Madrid. The reason is simple: the points gap between Madrid and Barcelona is getting smaller. So the chances of Madrid and Barcelona competing are becoming more interesting. Villarreal's chances are also still open they have one less match, so if they win their 20th-week match, they will be only 4 points behind Madrid.

The league is always like this, and last season there were some mistakes made by both Barcelona and Madrid. But last season Barcelona was better; they were able to bounce back and take advantage of Madrid's mistakes. This year, Barcelona might be the favorite to win because Madrid's internal condition seems not to be good.

[pewboy]

The 2-1 lost against real sociedad on Sunday has narrowed the gap between them and real Madrid now to just only a point gap, 49 and 48 points respectively.
No doubt, sometimes the refs do take decisions that's questionable, but in the end they have the final say, 3 dismissed goals a penalty awarded and later taken away, big time controversial match. Despite the little setback, they need to keep going and focusing on winning their upcoming matches.

I think that was completely a separate match and this should not compromise the championship. Unfortunately, the problem is not only with the referee's decisions, but this should not always compromise the outcome of the match and in fact it does not always cause difficulties.

[giorgione]

I agree that Real Madrid faces a more difficult match. Because Barcelona's opponent is very easy, and Barcelona won't lose that point. I think Real Madrid will try to get three points in a tough away game. If they get three points in this match, Real Madrid will carry with them the confidence and fire that will allow them to crush any team in the race for the leadership. In this respect, Real Madrid's match next week is very critical.

Real Madrid, now that they have realised that Barcelona is less than it seems, let's say that this thing can give them some hope and they must try to do what they can best, clearly these guys must give their all over the obstacle, they can do it,i am sure of it

[Velvet78]

A really good test is waiting for Arbeloa in 3 days... Real Madrid are going to play away against Villarrreal in the La Liga. This isn't an easy game at all for them honestly.

However the good thing for them is that they are getting better in performance day by day! They just demolished Monaco by 6-1 in the Champions League.

Villarreal are technically a way better team than Monaco in general of the season. But let's see...
