La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Antotena]

The option if Vini is sold is to return Mbappe to the left wing, as he was at PSG, so that he can play as a winger with speed and scoring ability, but the risk is that adjustments will have to be made when this happens because Mbappe has been quite comfortable as a target man for the last two seasons.

In terms of financial strength, Madrid could certainly sign Haaland and pair him with Mbappe, but the risk is that ego could become an issue again. We know that the first season between Vini and Mbappe was a bit challenging, even though it wasn't explicitly shown, but both players clearly have their own egos to prove themselves. This could also happen with Haaland and Mbappe if they were to be united in one club.
Joselu? He's too old for that, so it's unlikely Madrid would target him, especially if their long-term goal is to build a squad where age is a key factor.

The adjustment they are doing now is worse than leaving him with his natural position. He was a beast in PSG playing left wing bit accept that position out of causing rift in the club between the players. Assuming they let him play what he does best, even if Real Madrid doesn't win the League Barcelona has won in the last two seasons, they will have some chance of winning some, it's too late to try to convert Mbape back to left wings with or without Vinicious absence.

You don't know Real Madrid, they went for Haaland but Real Madrid sealed the deal before them. However, I think they didn't go hard for the deal, they had Benzema that time when Haaland was doing well in Manchester City and it's not like they are the type that go hard to get a player. Those time they wanted given all to Mbape, he refused but in the end, Mbape came to Real Madrid as free agent. They need to let go of some players if they want to see progression in the team.

All I can say about this match is that, Realmadrid may not find it easy in that match, reason being that they are going to face a struggling team that may want to slide further, but in real sense this match is not to be a difficult match for Realmadrid to win, but we have our doubts  and if being checked, the reason for our doubts are clear, Madrid losing to benfica in the UEFA champions League is can even make anyone to doubt what they could be the outcome of this match, I think Madrid coach would have by now know what to do, I can not say if won't concede goals but we know their back is leaking as much we should expect anything, but my concerns are the technicalities they need to apply to successfully win that match.

Real Madrid has a strong chance of winning their match against Rayo Vallecano, potentially extending their winning streak in La Liga. A defeat to Benfica would be a boost and a way to vent their frustrations on Rayo. For Arbeloa, the most important thing is to unite his players, fostering unity and confidence, as the selfishness of some individuals can create chaos and negatively impact the team. Real Madrid still has a strong chance of overtaking Barcelona at the top of La Liga, so Arbeloa must consistently encourage his players to perform at their best.

Things are going upside down for Villarreal recently. They played 3 tough games in their last 5 weeks in the La Liga and lost them all. You might say that's okay for the ones against Barcelona and Real Madrid of course.

But now they are 2-1 behind against Osasuna too.    I can't even say they have showed a good performance in nearly 70 minutes so far. They are still safe in top 4 though but this is still alarming for them.

Rayo Vallecano is in a situation where Real Madrid is more likely to win, if football is not unpredictable I would have been sure of Real Madrid winning. But in football there are no sure results.

The statistics and recent performances point in the direction of Real Madrid, even Real Madrid will be playing as the home team. The loss to Benfica in the Champions League may not have worn off yet, although they have a chance to get revenge against the same team in the same competition. Real Madrid should get an easy win against Rayo Vallecano.

The glory days of Villarreal has being long behind them. They’ve being struggling ever since and that’s not just in this season. If we are looking at teams that we can say are in a state of decline, a team that loose where you expect t them to get nothing less than 3 points, I think that team is Real Madrid. They’ve being very disappointing and a team you shouldn’t consider while making bets in the laliga. The team you ought to be looking at are teams like Real Betis and Barcelona.

The difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is that Barcelona plays a better team football whereas Real Madrid depends on individual talent. Like if you take out Mbappe from Real Madrid, they would have hard time battling for second place let alone try to be the champions, there is no way the current Real Madrid could win the title without Mbappe.

However, you can take Yamal, or Raphinha, or Lewandowski, whoever, if you take out a single player from Barcelona, they are still a good team. This is why the rest of the season depends on how injuries and fatigue plays a role, if Mbappe is tired or injured then Barcelona will be champions, if Mbappe is healthy and playing great then Real Madrid will win the title.

Oviedo won the game against Girona with a single goal. That was great from them, yet I don't understand how they gonna manage to survive the relegation while barely collecting points since the beginning of the season. They have like 6 points difference at least to tie with Getafe, the team that is sitting just above the relegation zone and which is lacking a match comparing to Oviedo.

Well, as I said before, since they managed to get full points against Girona, we can still expect them to survive in La Liga. In their next match, they will face Rayo Vallecano before facing the real challenges (Bilbao, Real Sociedad & Atletico Madrid). They only have one more good chance before they really have to fight against the big teams in La Liga. In your personal opinion, will they stay in the top league next season?

True... Mourinho has pulled off something truly incredible. You can question his character all you want but his aura is undeniable. the man is the ultimate tournament coach. He’s now on a 4 match unbeaten streak with Benfica in the Champions League. In this latest match against Real Madrid, his team played unbelievable football they didn't just win, they completely played Madrid off the park.

Mourinho has always been the special one, for this reason he has always managed to achieve results that seemed impossible in things that then came true and this is something that has always happened, i think the greatest success was with Inter, truly incredible what he did with that team.

[GbitG]

Vini sold and Mbappe to the original position is not bad but indeed for this there must be consideration for a pure striker who can indeed become another goal machine.
Haaland is good but it still seems a little difficult because for me putting Haaland together with Mbappe is like putting Messi together with Cristiano. Not meaning to compare Messi Cristiano with Haaland Mbappe because these 2 goats are still unmatched by anyone but for now the future benchmark is clearly Haaland and Mbappe for the current era so it will be very difficult to unite these 2 players in 1 club for ego problems and of course the attack benchmark.

I don't think that Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland on same team will make sense because these two have the individual mentality, and when it comes to the team, they won't be able to utilize his ability like to play as trio. Even both have selfish minds, both will ask for assist Thus far if we look at their playing position then probably both have the same role and playing two players at the same role will be quite difficult.So I think it will better to used Vinicus Junior and Kylian Mbappe duo instead of Earling Holland and Kylian Mbappe....

Right now Real Madrid performance has dropped off from the right track even they sack off Xabi Alonso and brought Arbeloa but still things are not going good. In my opinion their players have lost the confidence and regain it will take a time.

Anyway let's see what happens

[Sarah Azhari]

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?

That's what we don't know, they have to prove they deserve it if they want to stay in La Liga next season. Now they're playing against Girona, in the 68th minute & still Oviedo 0 - 0 Girona. If Oviedo can win this match, we can still expect them to stay in La Liga, but if the result is bad for them, then in theory Oviedo will return to playing in La Liga 2 for next season.

It seems a bit difficult, as Real Oviedo has new collected 16 points, six points behind the team in the safety zone. Even then, the gap could widen further if the team above the safety zone can pick up more points due to their unplayed matches. Therefore, Real Oviedo will likely be relegated next season.

The first half is over, the score is still 0-0, ATM did not play well in the half, despite winning everything and only making Levante play in defense, ATM can only create a few chances. It must be admitted that De La Fuente has played well in Levante defense so far. But I still believe Simeone squad will play differently in the second half later because they still have a chance to compete with Madrid and Barcelona.

The second half has started, and Atletico Madrid must do everything in their power in the final 40 minutes to win. A loss of points could end their championship dreams. They will be competing to finish third in the league, behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. Right now, they absolutely must win this match. The points difference is already very large, and they are still chasing Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid are a defensive team, I don't see any hunger to score goals. Especially in European football, where attacking play is the norm, Atletico Madrid are the opposite. I wonder if they are playing to win titles or just to avoid defeat? To win titles and compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they will have to change their old shell and create a new one.

Levante is a weak team this season, who are in the relegation zone, and Atletico Madrid have not yet managed to score a goal against a team that is in the relegation zone. I would definitely point to a tactical error here. I expect better from them in the second half.

Today the Barcelona will be play against Elche in away ground and rght now Barcelona is on the top of the table with one point gap and still try to maximize the gap le with Real Madrid. Barcelona is looking super dominant and definitely today match will not a big task for them like they will be easily get the victory and claimed the 3 points for league competition.I hope Elche will not be too challenging for Barcelona because currently they are in 12th place.....

Despite on the other side Real Madrid will play against Rayo Vallecano and to be honest is will be quite competitive tussle for Arbeloa because Rayo Vallecano is also in good shape despite Real Madrid performance is not that stable.

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.

Obviously some smaller teams will try their hardest against the bigger clubs because they have a culture of "this game if you play good then you will be scouted" type of mentality.

Some teams just want to be good, they do not want to sell their players to bigger clubs, they want to just play good and be good, sure we know only two or if lucky maybe three teams could win the title but the reality is that other teams wants to be three or four or even five and fight for it. Some teams however like Vallecano or Mallroca just tells players to be good on big games so they can be sold for a lot.

[kriminall]

The Levante-Atletico Madrid match ended in a goalless draw, and Atletico Madrid will be far behind in the title race if Real Madrid and Barcelona win. They will be regretting the two points they lost in this match in the coming weeks. Their biggest advantage is that the team in fifth place is significantly behind them in points. If they were facing relegation from fourth place, that would be a huge loss for Atletico Madrid. However, while their Champions League qualification seems secure, their chances of winning the championship are no longer realistic.

Barcelona is in very good form. They will not make any mistakes against a team like clche at the moment. Every match is very  important for barcelona now. Losing points in any match will mean losing the top  spot in the table. So they  must continue their winning streak. So Barcelona must give their full effort against elche. Elche is not a strong team either. And barcelona has played very well against this team in the past seasons. I am betting on barcelona to win. And barcelona will ensure victory in this match by at least 2 goals.

He is truly a unique coach and also very intelligent in seeing opportunities and reading other teams' situations during the match. And Real Madrid has experienced this in a major competition like the Champions League, so the embarrassment they feel is truly immense. And for tomorrow's match, I don't know what Real Madrid will experience in front of their own fans, as the players will undoubtedly be extremely frustrated by their Champions League defeat against Benfica.

Aside the form of Barcelona they have a very good record over Elche, if you check their history in their last five meeting Barcelona has not lost to them and the current position of Barcelona they wouldn't want anything that will make them to drop out of the first position to give Real Madrid opportunity to climb back to the top of the table they will use everything to fight Elche on this game and at the end you are sure of getting 3 points. Barcelona is playing from away with their squad complete in this game they would not what to gamble with it. It's going to be 1:3 with Barcelona winning that's my prediction.

Benfica is one of the biggest team in Portugal and aside that Benfica was more determined than Real Madrid on that night and were more intentional in their attack utilising every goal scoring opportunity they found.

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.

The way Benfica play against Real Madrid they really deserve to achieve the three point and they have a good coach that can really performed better when facing real madrid because he as coach the team before and he knows how to deal with them and now they will face each other in the playoff and that will be very difficult match for Real Madrid to win, but since is home and away they can get the opportunity to defeat them, because i can't believe that Benfica can eliminate madrid from the Champions League since from the playoff.

let see how the games will be and know who will qualify to the next round of the Champions League this season, since they won't play the competition now they will focus in the laliga and challenge Barcelona to get the chance to top them in the league table. This coming weekend real madrid are facing Rayo Vallecano at home and they need to achieve the three point.

In that game that night we can actually sum it up that the best side was actually the side that won the game deservingly. However with the recent fixtures where Real Madrid and Benfica have to meet again in the playoffs it's really hard to speculate what that may happen despite it being a home and away games.

The red card on two Real Madrid players Raul Asencio and Rodrygo would actually impact on the team as the two key players would be absent in the first game, and I would like to see how Alvaro  Arbeloa manages the squad this time not to get stunned for the second time by Benfica.
