La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Sarah Azhari]

The title competition is going on really delightful! The gap is only 1 point because of Barcelona's shocking loss against Real Sociedad earlier. But it is still hard to stop them often honestly. 

I expect Hansi Flick to keep the team consistent. I have more questions about Arbeloa instead. Because he is new at the job although he has made a good start so far. The main question is about if he will manage to keep this going during the rest of the season?

So far, the La Liga title race seems to be getting tighter, with the points gap between them being so narrow. If Barcelona can maintain their consistent performance until the end of the season, they will be crowned champions. Arbeloa's performance so far has been positive, but I doubt he can stop Barcelona from winning the title, given his inexperience. Howeverif Real Madrid don't win the title and can keep the points gap between them close, Arbeloa could be considered a success, as he's just starting his coaching career at a major club in the middle of the season.

Barcelona always have problems when playing the Champions League every season, they  have been struggling to win the title but they don't have the chance to achieve that, currently they performance as been improving gradually in the competition, let just see how there next game will be and see if they can perform much better in the competition. Barcelona always do well in the league more then the Champions League and Hansi Flick need to fixed that if he really what to challenge big lube in the Champions League and win it. Because last season inter Milan have eliminate them in the Champions League and failed to win it, now new season as started after the group stage let wait if they can do well in the rounds 16 of the ucl.

Attack wins games, defense wins titles   What difference does it make if you scored six goals against Inter if you conceded seven? This season, the pattern is repeating itself. Barcelona has already conceded 13 goals in seven games against less-than-stellar teams. If you consider the top 15 teams, that's the worst record of all (tied with Atlético). It only takes one tough team to be knocked out of the tournament at the playoff stage, and Barcelona, ​​in my opinion, is not much different from last year's example.

[tygeade]

Barcelona is still one point ahead of Real Madrid, which is great for them. Last weeks loss was terrible and they did not expected, to be fair nobody expected, that loss but they recovered quite quickly. Not only they won this game, but in the middle they won against Prague as well, which is a great situation for them because that's two wins in a row, and now they will play in UCL against Copenhagen, and then Elce in the league, both looks like quite easily beatable teams for them.

That would be four games in a row win after a loss and should be making them forget about the bad games. This of course depends on them winning these games, nobody assumed they would lose to Sociedad neither, so lets wait and see.

The most important thing is being able to win the match, I think that's the most important thing because even though their defense is a bit fragile and they concede a lot of goals, their attack is also quite good and that's worth it because Barcelona's playing pattern is always aggressive so of course conceding is a risk but they can also always score a lot of goals.

As in Italy, practically, even in Spain there is a fight to the last point to climb the rankings.
It's no coincidence that they are the most entertaining championships in Europe
This Spanish situation creates an exciting head to head between the two champion teams in La Liga very interesting

Arbeloa is doing a good job. He is not an experienced manager. Still, he has managed to keep madrid's overall  performance consistent. They are performing a bit unstable, but Real madrid has won the last 5 matches in la liga. Also, madrid's performance in the champions league matches is also quite good.

Real madrid is now only  1 point behind barcelona. If barcelona loses a point in a match , they will also lose the top spot in the table. The title race has become quite intense. Both barcelona and madrid still have equal chances of winning the title.

[Not your key not your BTC]

Atletico Madrid secured another comfortable victory. Sörloth, who received transfer offers during the winter break but remained with the team, has now scored in his last 3 matches. Atletico made the right decision by keeping him on the team. Catching up to the top 2 seems unlikely, as Real and Barca won't easily let the points gap close. But they're collecting points to secure 3rd place. Maybe they'll push for higher rounds in the Champions League. The team is actually good, they just can't keep up with the 2 teams they're competing against in La Liga, who are performing much better.

It is the longevity of Diego Simeone though.

He has been manager for Atletico Madrid for more than a decade and he keeps on winning trophies the same way producing quality results. I am not a fan but I love what he has done for the club. Real Madrid and Barcelona has seen more managers and coaches being sacked but he still remains with Atletico Madrid. I see he has a wonderful relationship with the club directors. Winning the Champions League competition is just the only thing they haven't achieved. If it happens, it will make too much sense.

Diego Simeone has been coaching Atletico Madrid for 15 years, winning only two La Liga titles during that time. I don't understand the management's policy of retaining Diego Simeone despite his lack of trophies. Whereas, every season, they spend a fortune on quality players. At other clubs, if a coach had few titles, let alone not won the Champions League title after spending a lot of money, they would have been fired.

[Volgastallion]

The fight for the fift position on LaLiga is on fire, i mean the team in that position is always changing after a few rounds and worst of all(or better) we have always a lot of teams behind it waiting to taking it.

Top 3 and 4 are gonna be between Atletico and Villarreal and top 1 and 2 are gonna be between the two ussual teams Barcelona and Real Madrid so not so much to see here after all.

Only following the fight for the last european spots.

Agree man, Flick is in a tight corner at the moment .
Those defenders can be so unreliable attimes , while they still perform good in some games their bad performance outperforms the good.  If this continue  till knockout stage then they will suffer same fate as last champions league, even early this time around  I guess  .  I don't  want to see my club lose like that anyway but I still support them till the end . F
lick has a plan I guess.

Only following the fight for the last european spots.

Celta Vigo and Real Betis has 2 points remaining to reach top fifth standings position behind Espanyol has 34 points get inconsistent performance in last several matches, I think interested fighting for the UEFA Europe League spot standings position because the top fourth teams have many points left recently. Usually the top third position placed by Atletico Madrid but La Liga this season has many matches left and many possibility happening with the top fourth standings finish teams.

Next season likely La Liga has 4 slot teams participants at Champion League and interested for the team fight get qualifying to UCL next season, Barcelona and Real Madrid actually secure two of four ticket and two ticket remaining for Atletico Madrid or Villareal.

[pewboy]

Yeah Barcelona are still on the top spot. Despite Real Madrid are behind them with only one point gap. Now Hansi Flick need be really careful because one mistakes can can cause a concern for team. Like if they drop any point Real Madrid will definitely be the top.

Anyway let's see what happens next.

I think this duo is really strong Jamal and Raphinha are really two out-of-the-box players but we certainly don't find out today, they have been at the top for years, surely these can be the future of this team, they should find another strong striker like Lewa!

[dollyamo]

..and he managed to turn Atlético into a team that could challenge the two big teams, Barcelona and Madrid. It seems they trust each other and have a good emotional bond, and this is like Ferguson during the peak of Man United. Madrid has tried, but it seems it didn't work, because Xabi is already out.

I think there are stories and stories, these guys are very strong and I think they have a very, too important past to be forgotten, Simeone is the history of this club and he cannot be forgotten for many reasons, that's why he will make the team very strong they have a character that allows him to do what

[1kodumtek7]

First, it is Yamal mate. Not Jamal.    Second, yeah they have made a fascinating duo at Barcelona. When one of them gets injured Barcelona's attacking is also affected notably. We have seen its examples.

Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in history but his time is about to end I'm afraid. The problem is that Barcelona is still broke... They still can't spend so much money for any player. This makes me question what they plan to do when he leaves.

[Zanab247]

Barcelona is still one point ahead of Real Madrid, which is great for them. Last weeks loss was terrible and they did not expected, to be fair nobody expected, that loss but they recovered quite quickly.

But this season is getting tougher between Barcelona and Real Madrid, because we know that this trophy will not going to pass this two club in the laLiga league tournament. Barcelona has started this season well and they have been maintaining a good position from the beginning till Real Madrid come close to them to have one point different in the table.

Despite what has happened in the past game, I don't think Barcelona will allow Real Madrid to top them till the end of this tournament, because their players are still playing what is giving Barcelona fans hope of lifting this trophy.

[dezoel]

Yamal's goal was really great. I really admire his skills at the age of 18 already. He is Barcelona's now and future. He already has a contract running until 2031. Unless a big thing happen I expect him to stay and become a legend there.

By the way did you see the leak at Camp Nou stadium? What a pity that they are playing their games while its construction is still not fully finished. I assume they didn't run a rain test to see if everything was ready.

The new stadium wasn't even ready to be played in yet, but Barcelona was missing so much money so they decided to jump in early but the reality hit them very hard. Because it's a brand new stadium, they thought they can charge more and get more people in and that is why they rushed but the reality turned out to be that the stadium wasn't fully ready yet. Next season none of these problems will happen, and during the summer there will be a hard work without a doubt, but not this season yet.

[Taricoins]

Barcelona has mkre chances of winning the league this season, even though they were not consistent at some point in the league they still got back up o their feet. Although their performance in the champions league has not really being impressive. They have more chances of winning the la liga this season because, it would either go to them or Madrid.

Barcelona always have problems when playing the Champions League every season, they  have been struggling to win the title but they don't have the chance to achieve that, currently they performance as been improving gradually in the competition, let just see how there next game will be and see if they can perform much better in the competition. Barcelona always do well in the league more then the Champions League and Hansi Flick need to fixed that if he really what to challenge big lube in the Champions League and win it. Because last season inter Milan have eliminate them in the Champions League and failed to win it, now new season as started after the group stage let wait if they can do well in the rounds 16 of the ucl.

The problem isn't with Hansi Flick, the problem is with the Financial situation with the club, it had been pointed out time without number that Flick needs defenders that can cope with such defensive intensity, imagine the Barcelona line is dependent on Pau Cubarsi, an 18 years old kid, fighting the bulk of experience from top strikers, with the Laliga it's domestic and analysis are more thorough but when it comes to the big stage you need star and experience players.

[$weetne$$]

If you are conceding and yet you are scoring a lot of goals, it is very likely you may still not be able to make the best out of those goals you have been scoring and that is because you may not be able to defend the goals well enough so all your goals will.be canceled out by that of your opponent so if they have a defence issue, it is very important that get it fixed.

The La Liga continues to be more interesting between the two usual clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona always make the league more difficult for the other teams, we have been seen these two teams dominating the league for a long time now, Atletico Madrid, which we believe can challenge them for the league title will never stop disappointing their fans, they always qualify for the Champions League, but they hardly make it to the top table and maintain it throughout the season.

I don’t think the league table will change anytime soon because both Barcelona and Real Madrid are going to Dave weak teams in their next league game. Barcelona continues to lead Real Madrid with one point, even if the both teams play their next two league games, I still don’t think the table will change.

And it is not even predictable again because the way the clubs are tightening their belts, it has made things more difficult, and the way it is getting tighter, the more the points are getting narrower, just the way you are saying it. And the person we have assurance on to win La Liga is Barcelona because, to me, they are still doing better than Real Madrid. because they are more consistent than them, and this is why everyone is trusting Barcelona to claim the title. Because the way things are going, Real Madrid won't be able to win anything this season. So let's wait and see the wonders that Real Madrid will do if they are able to win anything.

[Ale88]

I didn't watch the match but looking at the numbers I wonder what could happen if Mbappé wouldn't be available. He is playing an incredible season and that is great for him as an individual players, but he is also hiding many of Real Madrid's problems. Don't get me wrong, of course everybody wants a player that scores like Mbappé in their team, the problem is when he is the only one scoring 80% of the time. Even when there were Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi the teammates would score good amount of goals, now we have Mbappé only.

I understand about your opinion without blame Mbappe has consistent performance and dominance scoring goals for Madrid in this season what happen later if any match Mbappe have absent has any player can replacing well the position leave Mbappe? Actually Real Madrid has many top talent players will repalce well Mbappe's position if get injury or Arbeloa make rotation. Gonzalo Garcia ever made hattrick at La Liga match when Mbappe absent and he played as central forward.
I don't think problem yet with Madrid goals dominance 80% scoring by Kylian Mbappe and other players always has chance but priority to give assist for Mbappe, last night Vinicius Jr acceleration on the left side success giving opportunity for Mbappe scoring goals and he close second goals scored trough penalty kick. Overall Mbappe have scored 32 goals all competition by scoring 21 goals in La Liga and 11 goals scored in Champion League.

Sure, Gonzalo Garcia scored an hat-trick, but would you trust him to replace Mbappé in an important match? I like Garcia but he barely played, he could be the next Raul or the next Portillo because we need to see him more often. And I'm actually disappointed that he got very little play time until now. At this point it's clear they need to preserve a little Mbappé, there is no point for him to play every single match otherwise there is the risk to arrive tired at the end of the season.
