La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Gallar]

True, i also remember that they started the championship well and now they have dropped a lot.
What happened, maybe they gave too much physically in the first part of the championship and got exhausted and tired
It could be, it happens to small teams

Real Madrid will be playing Benfica again in the Champions League play off, i already made my prediction that Real Madrid will win in the playoff. What happened last time will not happen for the second time, Real Madrid will make good preparation for the game, they can't afford not to qualify for the round of 16, they always have, it is so normal to see them qualify.

Yes,, it's true that Real Madrid's potential to win the playoffs against Benfica is certainly enormous. However,, that doesn't rule out the possibility that Real Madrid's players will struggle to compete with Benfica again. Therefore, I think we'll have to see how the first leg of this playoff goes, and then we'll be able to judge from that result. If Benfica wins or even draws level with Real Madrid in the first leg,, I don't think Real Madrid's potential to win is very high.

Real Madrid's current performance under their new coach is clearly not yet at its maximum. The new coach will undoubtedly need to adapt to the players at Real Madrid. Therefore,, I personally wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid still struggles to win against Benfica in this playoff. Under Mourinho's experienced guidance,, Benfica is clearly no pushover. So, we'll just have to wait and see who wins.

The second leg of the El Classico is going to be very crucial in determining who wins the league this season unless Barcelona increases the gap between them and Madrid then it might not really matter the result of the el Classico.
Barcelona are becoming so comfortable going behind first and giving their fans a scare…. They have to really work on their defence and close down all those defensive lapses cos you can’t win a major trophies like UCL with a poor or bad defence. The league might be possible cos Real Madrid is shaky too.

Currently, the best team in La Liga is Barcelona and their performance is very good compared to every other team. Although the point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is very small at the moment. However, if Real Madrid's next matches are against a very strong team, then maybe Real Madrid will lose. Since Real Madrid's coach changed, they have not played against any team that can compete with them. The ones against whom Real Madrid has won were very easy for Real Madrid. Currently, Real Madrid has lost 4 - 2 to Benfica. This was a very embarrassing loss for Madrid. Now Real Madrid has entered the play-offs.

It is hundred percent true that Barcelona is currently the best team in La Liga, in fact, the team's performance is progressing equally in both competitions but currently it seems to me that this team is a little more focused on the Champions League and this team is working hard, as a result of which they have already secured the playoffs for the 2025-26 UCL season. You are right the difference in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is only one at the moment but still the Spanish Catalan club has a good chance of winning the title. Even though Real Madrid lost in the Champions League but we noticed that Barcelona secured victory in the Champions League against Copenhagen, as a result it has been proven that this team is able to achieve consistency.

Another major factor that helped Benfica triumph over Real Madrid was the fact that Jose maurinho understood how weak the Spanish side are recently, especially after sacking their coach and he consciously took advantage of all the loop holes that were in the Madrid squad such as the 2 red cards conceded by Real Madrid which further weakened the strength of the team.

This is the most important thing. Mourinho is a very experienced  manager. And he is well aware of the problems of Real Madrid. We saw against Madrid that Benfica dominated the  match. Benfica players had 20  shots in the whole match, out of which 11 were on target. They were  very confident against Madrid. At the same time, mourinho's match strategy was also excellent. That is why they were able to  defeat a giant team like madrid. Benfica is going to face Madrid again in the play-offs. No doubt, this will be a fiercely  contested match. Madrid is not in the safe zone. The possibility of them winning easily is also low.

I think so too, Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach and he knows what to do to face a team like Real Madrid, which does not yet have a strong game framework with their new coach. Indeed, I have said from the beginning that nothing can be expected from Real Madrid if Arbeloa remains their coach, because he is an inexperienced coach, and of course, it will be very difficult to manage a team as big as Real Madrid.

The Espanyol vs. Alaves match has at least gone as I expected. So now I can relax, whatever the outcome. both teams have scored, which means there are already two goals and I'm sure there will be one more goal in this match. however, Espanyol seems to be struggling in this match, even though they are the home team.

The final result was devastating for Espanyol, who had to concede defeat to Alaves with a score of 2–1, an unexpected outcome. It was very disappointing to see the pattern of play they displayed, especially since their confidence should have been boosted in this match. However, it cannot be denied that Alaves' performance was quite impressive here, with their defense also performing its duties quite well. In essence, they played more effectively and were adept at maximizing the opportunities available. This match must be used as a basis for evaluation so that they can perform better in future matches.

Espanyol lost the truck badly. This team performed well for a long time. The team has the potential to finish in the top  4 of the table if they can continue with a  somewhat stable performance. But now this is not possible. They lost against teams like alaves. The match ended 2-1 . Espanyol have lost 4  of their last 5 matches and drawn one. Anyway, the team is now fifth in the points table. But it will not be  possible for them to qualify for europa league or Conference League. They will  gradually fall further in the points table.

[CageMabok]

On paper, I think Real Madrid will secure all three points when facing Rayo Vallecano, and I even predict they will score plenty of goals as a way of venting their frustration after yesterday defeat in the Champions League. We know that Rayo Vallecano are honestly not a difficult opponent for Real Madrid, and the fact that they have managed only one win in their last five matches.

Real Madrid must win at home against Rayo Vallecano if they want to keep pace with Barcelona in La Liga this season. However, I also have some doubts about Real Madrid after their crushing Champions League defeat to Benfica, especially since Rayo Vallecano can sometimes be a real nuisance for big teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona. So, Real Madrid must get all three points in this home match to avoid being seen as a slump by their own fans, as they were thoroughly thrashed by Benfica in the Champions League.

[POPOLUV]

After that disappointing display by Madrid I don't know how they're going to get over what happened in the champions league and focus on the league game at hand. Madrid would be host Rayo Vallecano, with that same sad face I don't think it will be easy for them to easily forget the champions league game, they need to move on because if they don't Barcelona will be happy to secure another 3pt and extend their lead which will be hard to close the gap, we know that 1pt is not enough but at this point Madrid need to be winning their games while they wait for Barcelona to slip off the number 1 spot, can Madrid be at their best against Rayo Vallecano?

To be honest Real Madrid did notice such a great lost coming on their way in that last leg in the champions League  but i believe that they know what they are doing because even with the lost they still qualify to the next stage of the championship League tournament and i know that Real Madrid is going to win their next match in the champions League and i know that Real Madrid is going to win to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday to be able maintain one different gap if by paraventual Barcelona can loss or draw any day.

We know that Rayo Vallecano are honestly not a difficult opponent for Real Madrid, and the fact that they have managed only one win in their last five matches.

Rayo Vallecano is two places above the relegation zone and their form is far from consistent, so this shouldn't be a difficult match for Real Madrid. However, the impact of the previous defeat could have an impact on Real Madrid's upcoming matches as we see many problems they are currently facing. If they want to stay competitive, Real Madrid must stop their recent poor run and this is the perfect opportunity to build confidence.

Effective play can make a difference in upcoming matches, but I want to see Real Madrid play at their best. Real Madrid have lost their identity in recent matches and their play has been uncharacteristically unstable. This is what the coach needs to change and they need a leader on the pitch when facing any team.

If only beating Rayo in La Liga is still something Real Madrid can try now, Arbeloa must have evaluated the defeat suffered yesterday, if they don't evaluate it, it would be very stupid of course, now the difference is only 1 point from Barcelona, ​​they can't let go of a single match without getting 3 points, this is certainly an opportunity for Real Madrid in La Liga, they must be able to become champions this season, how come they have to be runners up again and the winner of this season is given again to Barcelona, ​​that's not the right decision here, they have to try, at least 3 points must always be a mandatory guarantee for them to get.

If Real Madrid wants to win they can't underestimate Rayo. This team as you said, always surprises when facing big teams. Furthermore, they are currently motivated by the desire to move away from the relegation zone so Rayo will certainly play very cautiously.

With Real Madrid's current condition they face this match with reduced confidence after a painful loss to Benfica, which automatically eliminated them from the round of 16. So, they have the motivation to recover their mentality in this match especially since the UCL draw has Real Madrid facing Benfica again in the play-off round. Maintaining their consistency in La Liga will certainly impact their mentality and confidence in the UCL. In essence, a win against Rayo is a must, and Real Madrid if they want to win must not underestimate Rayo.

Real Madrid is indeed stronger than Rayo Vallecano and they have a more prestigious squad and they also have the advantage of playing at home , so Real Madrid is expected to win this match. But in football, surprises can happen at  any time, so if Real Madrid doesn't play with all  their guts, they could lose points because the match against Vallecano is also a derby, which could make the atmosphere more  intense and perhaps give  Rayo Vallecano greater motivation to play aggressively. I don't feel that Real Madrid is better than last season, especially since Xabi Alonso  left and Alvaro Arbeloa has taken his place.

The match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano is a must win for Real Madrid, if Real Madrid fail to win the match it is over for them because Barcelona will have a good chance of winning the league, Real Madrid performance is not good, the team performance against PSG have make them look like they are back to their struggle way which make everyone feel like they are not capable of winning any trophy this season because they don’t have what it takes to win a trophy.

As a Real Madrid fan, I did not expect Real Madrid to win a trophy this season, Real Madrid is playing only La Liga and Champions League and they are not doing well in those competitions, Real Madrid still has a chance to win La Liga but their performance is not good and they are not good enough to win Champions League because there are many teams who are far better than Real Madrid.

Can Real Oviedo that struggles to qualify to Laliga this season with great effort from Santi Cazola and their team will ends their eighteen game winless streak to step up or have more hope on leaving the relegation zone?
Because so far, they managed to win just two matches out of the 21 Laliga matches they have played so far and drew just seven matches which means they lost twelve matches.

They have just accumulated 13 points this season, and from all indication if they didn’t step up their performance in this second phase of the season, they will get relegated.

The 3 evil teams in La Liga are Rayo vallecano, Celta de vigo and Mallorca, I hate these teams with passion, they are enemy of progress. You need to win them before you can have a shot in winning the league.  They always play like prime Barcelona whenever they face either Madrid or Barcelona. I Rayo vallecano this season alone has taken points from both Barcelona and real Madrid.  I don't usually know what give them motivation to play as if their lives depends on it. These teams can't be underestimated, because they can shock you at any moment. As a Barcelona fan I hope that rayo vallecano will put up a great fight against Real Madrid and even sure that it might lead to a draw.

Arbeloa fate in Real Madrid will be tested again in this match because Rayo is a very stubborn team and a pain on the ass of these two rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is a big challenge for the new coach, if he fails to win this match, we might see a warning of sack to him. I hope that he is able to scale through, because it will be a bad record to lose to two matches within four days.

This is a very important win for Real Madrid to keep themselves on the title race. Barcelona is playing Elche tonight, a win for them is sure.

[Roseline492]

Espanyol lost the truck badly. This team performed well for a long time. The team has the potential to finish in the top  4 of the table if they can continue with a  somewhat stable performance. But now this is not possible. They lost against teams like alaves. The match ended 2-1 . Espanyol have lost 4  of their last 5 matches and drawn one. Anyway, the team is now fifth in the points table. But it will not be  possible for them to qualify for europa league or Conference League. They will  gradually fall further in the points table.

They have lost that potential already because more than six point is against them, the potential could have seen as something that would come if what we are saying is within three points or four but already Villarreal is quite in a distance, so the available potential they have is either on the fifth they are or below there because Real Betis also have this potential we are saying to be on the fifth because they don't need more than a match losing on Espanyol to beat of them the position. You can also compare the matches that would be coming for Villarreal and the one of Espanyol to see if this potential could happen.

I don't feel that Real Madrid is better than last season, especially since Xabi Alonso  left and Alvaro Arbeloa has taken his place.

Since Alvaro Arbeloa became the interim coach of Real Madrid, I have noticed the team's performance has been declining, especially after the disappointing result in their last match, which makes me doubt them even more And indeed, as you said, the match against Rayo Vallecano will not be easy for Real Madrid. Although overall, Real Madrid is much stronger than Rayo Vallecano, I am skeptical because Real Madrid is currently in a slump. This is not to underestimate Real Madrid, but I think it's realistic.

They have just accumulated 13 points this season, and from all indication if they didn’t step up their performance in this second phase of the season, they will get relegated.

Real Oviedo can't. Their current points are just 13, which far below from the average minimum points required between 36 - 39 points. So if they can't reach such minimum threeshold. It's impossible for them to still at La Liga next season. They have to win at least 8 more games in order to reach the minimum point. It will be far better if they can win the rest of games, which is impossible to happen.

It seems they obviously getting relegated considering how poor their performance. Unless, a miracle can happen to them, so they achieving 13 - 16 additional points, but seem to good to be true.

To be honest Real Madrid did notice such a great lost coming on their way in that last leg in the champions League  but i believe that they know what they are doing because even with the lost they still qualify to the next stage of the championship League tournament and i know that Real Madrid is going to win their next match in the champions League and i know that Real Madrid is going to win to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday to be able maintain one different gap if by paraventual Barcelona can loss or draw any day.

Assuming Real Madrid won that match, they would have qualified automatically and will not go through the stress of play-off,  a time that would have used to focus on their La Liga matches. That loss was a heavy blow at them and if they had anyway of avoiding it, they would have done that. I know they will qualify through the play-off but for now they have not qualified and the only teams that have qualified are Bayern Munic, Barcelona, Sporting Lisbo and the five England team.
