La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[abaeze]

But honestly,, I personally have a feeling that Real Madrid will lose this match. I don't know why I think that way, but it seems like it's because Real Madrid will definitely be playing under a lot of pressure in this match. Because Real Madrid players will definitely think that if they lose this match or get a draw,, it's clear that it's not a good thing.

I think the opposite, win or lose, we won't see the jeers you're referring to anymore. I know what you want, to see Madrid slump, right? But that's good for you, as you remain optimistic that Barcelona can widen the gap. However, after Madrid performance in their last match, it seems the players optimism and motivation have been rekindled.

This match is a La Liga head-to-head match, so it is very important in terms of league points. The pressure is on Real Madrid but one thing to always remember is that this club is probably one of the most used to performing under pressure in the world. Their mental rebound after the last match is clear, so it would be a big mistake to take them lightly in this match. However, Villarreal are a strong team, especially on their home ground, so this will not be an easy match for Real Madrid.

This match will be very difficult because it’s Villarreals home and for Real Madrid to win this match they need to be very strong and tactical if they really want to win Villarreal but with the good and quality players that Real Madrid has they are expected to win the match, and for me I believe they can actually win Villarreal, the coach should use a very good tactics if he does they will actually win the match but if he those not then Real Madrid may lose to Villarreal or they will draw the match, good luck to both teams.

Know doubt Villarreal is a  good and strong side this season with alot of quality players filled with great potentials sitting third with 41 points after there league games this season. Honestly speaking it won't be an easy task for Madrid tonight as the home team will do everything humanly possible to stay ahead and even fight for the league till the end of the league. But i don't think Villarreal could withstand the pressure of Madrid as the will fight to stay consistent and not to loss more games in charge if the new coach that lost his first game as Madrid's coach. Apart from the coach trying to prove a point, Madrid is one of the best teams in the world that can not be stopped by Villarreal strength no matter how hard they try.

Villarreal has had great difficulty beating big La Liga teams, even when playing at home. In the last 5 matches between the two teams, Real Madrid has had the advantage, winning 4 and drawing 1. That is, in 5 consecutive matches between the two teams, Villarreal has failed to beat Real Madrid.

In their last encounter this season, Real Madrid won, scoring 3 goals and conceding 1. If Real Madrid plays as well as they did in the Champions League match, they could leave Villarreal with a convincing victory.

I would like to take some risk in the La Liga this week...

- BTTS for Villarreal - Real Madrid @1.46
- Atletico Madrid to win @1.32
- Barcelona to win by -2.5 handicap @1.79

Total odds: 3.45

What about a multi like this?    I know the risk level is quite high. But my choices are quite likely to happen as well. Villarreal can score against Real Madrid in my opinion. Atletico Madrid should also be winning that Mallorca game home. Barcelona to win by at least a 3-goal gap might be a bigger risk there. But Real Oviedo are like the worst team in the league now. I think it is worth taking the risk.

Barcelona seems like the safest outcome here - the first team against the last in La Liga should always be at +3. Then there's Atlético. I see the biggest risk in betting on BTTS in the game Villarreal - Real. Both teams score a lot, but both have good defense, and I'm not at all sure Villarreal will take too many risks. It could end with a modest score and a 1-0 victory for one of the teams. If Villarreal scores an early goal first, it will work in your favor, but I think all other options will not.

Today's match will decide whether we should trust Arbeloa or not? And whether Real Madrid made the right decision? After losing the first match, they have shown great things in the last two matches. My trust in Arbeloa is starting to build, today's match will either help me trust him or break my trust.

Villarreal is the second or third strongest opponent for Real Madrid in La Liga this season. So it goes without saying that it is a very difficult match for Real Madrid to win. Today is the final test whether we can trust the new coach Arbeloa to win the title.

I see Barcelona's handicap is very big, it is very big risk to choose such a bet, especially Barcelona's very busy schedule at the moment, of course, makes them only aim for a win, not a big win, having to win by more than 2 goals, I think it will be very difficult and it is not worth betting like that.

This game is going to be a very tough game for Real Madrid, Real Madrid have been winning games, they’ve won there last two game, but they’re not convincing at all, they have been playing a very very poor game,  they played well in the Champions League I believe everyone expected Real Madrid to beat AS Monaco.
La Liga games are always different from the Champions League games, which is why Villarreal are doing well in La Liga which they’re sitting in the 3rd place in the Table and are sitting last position in the Champions League Table if I’m not mistaken, that shows the difference between Villarreal Performance in the Champions League and La Liga.
This game between Villarreal and Real Madrid is going to be an interesting game and I’m going to be watching this game, and I wish Villarreal is going to come out Victorious in this game, I’m predicting Villarreal to beat Real Madrid.

Barcelona have scored 15 goals in their last 5 games, an average of 3 per game, including the final against Real Madrid. They also conceded quite a few goals, but we're talking about a home game against the last-placed team in La Liga, which has scored 11 goals in 20 games. On paper, the score should easily be 3-0 or 4-0 in Barcelona's favor. Surprises happen, like Bayern's defeat today, but it's impossible to insure against that.

It will be a win with narrow score for Madrid. An away game against Villareal has never been easy for Madrid. It's true Madrid has better squad, but don't forget how they only won once from last 8 away games against Villareal, which showing we can't expect them to destroy Villareal.
They also need brilliance performance from Curtois in this game to win. It will far better if all of their defenders will perform as well. That's why i avoid to bet onto the total goals.

Just because they won against Monaco with massive score, then we can be too complacent with their performance. It's the true reason why i put my bet onto a direct bet win for them.
Even if they win only by one nil, i can still get decent return from 1.87 odds.

[Velvet78]

Espanyol are having a tough time against Valencia right now. They are 2-1 behind at the moment. Normally Espanyol already don't have a squad full of great players.

But they have still been doing really good for a long time. They are at the 5th position you know and ahead of some stronger opponents in the standings.

But recently things aren't going well as they have lost lots of points. Together with this one it will be 4 games...

[dezoel]

Several key Real Madrid players are still capable of performing well in the upcoming match against Villarreal. They are still able to deliver impressive performances. And their confidence has even increased after their landslide victory against AS Monaco. It is reported that Rodrygo and even Brahim Diaz will play in this match (Source). I personally believe that Real Madrid can win the match against Villarreal. And their position as the away team will not prevent them from performing well on the field. I'm sure Arbeloa has analyzed several players who can be relied upon according to his plan or even his excellent tactics. And this was proven when Real Madrid managed to defeat AS Monaco by a huge margin. It is unlikely that Real Madrid will lose in tonight's upcoming match. Mbappe and even Vinicius will beat Villarreal just like in their last head-to-head match.

Real Madrid is of course great, even before they fired Xabi, they weren't getting terrible results, and that is why they are only one point away from Barcelona. He didn't get fired because they were bad, nobody thought they were bad, they were always good enough.

The problem was that Xabi talked about the wrong thing and that is why he got fired, and he wanted more and more from the players but that never flied, you can never assume the team can be better, if you are in Real Madrid, you have to assume you are already the best.

Real Madrid will use all their strength to win this match. Because if they are able to win this match and if Barcelona loses or draws then Real Madrid will be able to leave Barcelona behind and they will reach the top of the points table. So even if they give all their strength in this match, Madrid will try to win. Villarreal's current position is not that good and the consecutive position is not in it. But Real Madrid is currently performing very well and is crossing the consecutive position. One aspect that is very good for Villarreal is that the match will be held at Villarreal's home ground.

[ITExpert]

It's simply a matter of compatibility, and because Real Madrid are more compatible to playing a direct game, they don't fit Xabi Alonso tactical approach. Arbeloa essentially copied what Ancelotti implemented, you can clearly see it, and it turned out to be a perfect fit. However, every player and tactic has its own shortcomings. I don't think there are bad coaches, but coaches who are not at club and the right players.

I think Real Madrid should trust Xabi Alonso till the end of the season. Xabi Alonso is a very skilled and talented coach and his expertise will definitely lead the team towards the betterment. But the management of the team decided to sack Xabi Alonso. And the new coach will also take some time to develop a healthy relation between the players and coach. Because the understanding or the connection of the coach and players plays a key role in the success of the team. And I think after this sacking Xabi Alonso should have to do something different and unique so he can prove himself in a better way. Because he already faced a kind of situation and this is really a grand disappointment for the fans who really love him.

[Baki202]

Villarreal would play hosts to Madrid tonight in what would seem like the main event of the Laliga. Knowing how desperate Madrid to close the gap Barcelona had over them at the top, they'd want to go all out and ensure they make the game uncomfortable for their hosts so I'm expecting tough game. Also, Villarreal being in the 3rd spot means that they too would want to bite but the question is can they be able to stop Madrid who are riding on the high of beating Monaco 6-1 in the UCL? Or is this yet another show of dominance from the Los Blancos away from home? If Madrid wins this game, they would be on top, so I don't know if Barcelona can be able to trust Villarreal to hold them down from riding to the top though, it's only a matter of time till we find out.

And everyone is trying to observe the condition of Real Madrid, and this is why they are making this game a priority because on a normal day people won't have been bothering themselves about this game because everyone's eyes are on the game, and their close position on the table is what is even worse, and this is why everyone is looking towards the game wondering exactly what Real Madrid will do tonight because a lot have not been satisfied with the way Real Madrid has been doing their things.

Villarreal can make everything hard for Real Madrid in this game, and even Madrid knows, and even with all the preparations they would have put in place, it will matter a lot and from the way things are, this game is very important for Real Madrid. since winning the game is what will bring them to the top there is nothing that can not change, and i feel like if real Madrid should make it to the top a lot of things will happen.

[blomen]

the race for the top spot in la liga is starting up again. real madrid winning away at villarreal today seems like the most likely outcome, and if that happens, they'll overtake barcelona by one game in a few weeks. after barcelona's loss to real sociedad, real madrid definitely needs to take advantage of this opportunity. looking at the current betting odds, barcelona is still the favorite to win the title, but after this week, barcelona risks losing the lead to real madrid.

real madrid has no additional absences beyond their usual ones for the villarreal match. they won't have any problems in attack, and i think they will win this match.

[jakdanyel]

An interesting match between Villarreal and Real Madrid is in three hours distance from now. I feel like Real Madrid will lose points and the gap with Barcelona will open again by the end of the round. Villarreal aren't an easy team to beat in away matches.

Beating Valencia should be able to be done by Espanyol, however from the whole season Valencia is much worse than Espanyol, if you pay attention to how Valencia is playing this season, there is really little hope of winning the match, and if we talk more about how Valencia now they are in the relegation threat zone which almost makes them unable to participate in la liga again next season for the Spanish league premier division, 7 points is far away, but it can still be worked on because the league is still very long, they can work from tomorrow.

It looks like you have got wrong. Because Valencia also managed to beat them by 3-2. Espanyol were never able to get ahead once in the match as well. If you ask me about which side deserved points more I would say Valencia definitely.

Maybe they are actually in a much worse situation in the league now but they haven't lost a match at home for quite a long time.

[Pandorak]

Real Madrid have a challenging match to play tonight. Villarreal are one of the best teams in home matches this season. 10 matches, 8 wins and they lost only once... 

Arbeloa has made a good start at the team. 2-0 and 6-1 were the scores of his first matches. But this is a more difficult match comparing the opponents.

Honestly I wouldn't bet on Real Madrid here. They are likely to lose points...

It must be acknowledged that Villarreal has provided a tremendous surprise this season. Their squad has performed exceptionally well, and the players in the attacking line have also appeared increasingly strong and dominant in almost every match. However never underestimate Real Madrid squad, they may be going through a rough patch, especially after the coaching change, which has forced every player to adapt to a new coaching system. But that cannot overshadow the experience and quality of this squad, they are also a collection of the best players in the world, and no one can doubt that.

[BlackBaron]

Villarreal is a real threat to Real Madrid, in the midst of their performance that has not felt at the highest level they have to face one of the teams that cannot be underestimated. By being in 3rd place in the current standings, it proves that Villarreal is preparing to face a team like Real Madrid.

Quite an interesting match to watch, we will see them competing to beat each other. A win is important for Real Madrid as they need to keep a tight grip on Barcelona, while a win is important for Villareal as they need to keep Atletico Madrid at bay.

Real madrid are better then Villarreal this season and am very sure that if they meet Villarreal this weekend they will surly get the three point at home. Let see how the game will goes this weekend. Since madrid have get close to Barcelona in the league table they won't like to lose any match again and continue chasing the league competition this season. When madrid play the first leg madrid get the chance to get the three point against Villarreal and now madrid are playing at home and they won't like to lose any point against Villarreal because any mistakes madrid lose any point that will give Barcelona more hope to give madrid gap again in the league table and win the league title. Hansi Flick lost there last game and they won't like to lose there next game.

On paper, Real Madrid are better. Seeing from the quality of players owned, it is clear that Real Madrid has better quality than Villareal. But here we are talking about the inconsistency experienced by Real Madrid lately. Apart from that they also haven't fully found their best form of play with the new coach. Only a few matches with the new coach, surely they are still adapting too.

But I hope they can get a victory in this match. If they lose, then the opportunity to continue to be tight under Barcelona will not be realized. And just now they also got lucky because in the previous week Barcelona had to lose.

Barcelona have scored 15 goals in their last 5 games, an average of 3 per game, including the final against Real Madrid. They also conceded quite a few goals, but we're talking about a home game against the last-placed team in La Liga, which has scored 11 goals in 20 games. On paper, the score should easily be 3-0 or 4-0 in Barcelona's favor. Surprises happen, like Bayern's defeat today, but it's impossible to insure against that.

And also keep in mind that Oviedo has conceded 31 goals, the most goals conceded team after Levante, and another fact is that their goal productivity is very bad, so it is very realistic to put a handicap in this match, the course of the match has been predicted that it will be one-sided, Oviedo with its bus parking tactics and Barcelona with its Gegenpressing. One possible surprise is if Oviedo defense performs well, perhaps then Barcelona win by just a few goals.
