La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[banana33]

This season is a continuation of this impactful performance from Raphinha for Barcelona and with time he has better combination with Yamal too. This season with good individual performances can be like very good preparation of Raphinha for World Cup 2026 with Brazil and hopefully he will have best fitness for the tournament.

Raphinha in Barcelona is certainly a card that all coaches want to have in the team, playing with certain players means starting at the beginning with an advantage and certainly this is the phase in which these players are called upon to do well, so it is necessary that they are there.

Therefore, Barcelona's league situation remains the same. They will play Mallorca, and Mallorca, in their current poor form, won't be able to get any points from them. Mallorca won their last match against Sevilla 4-1. They gained some morale, but I'm sure they know that when their opponent is Barcelona, the probability of losing is very high.

Nice to see is a big word, if you mean Barcelona winning then yes, if you mean the game was boring in my opinion.
In any case we are talking about Albacete, without offending the fans it is obviously not a prominent team like Barcelona or Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, let's say it is a mediocre team, which is committed to growth and still give excellent results.

Strange game yesterday for the cup, i was expecting to see a much dominant Barcelona against a low tier team like Albacete, i know they only need to win and go to the next round but despite that they were really close at the end(im refering to Albacete ending the game close in the result).

Anyways Lamine keep scoring which is good for him since the last season he doesnt score so much.

Barcelona played as if they already had the victory in hand, as if they knew they were in the comfort zone, so with little effort.
Maybe it's just an impression he made, noting the plays that weren't fun and lively, but an almost boring game to watch.
No highlights, maybe the only thing I liked was Albacete's goal at 87'.

Albacete lost to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey in a match where they played very well, and were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Even though Barça took a 0-2 lead, Albacete never compromised on their discipline and organization.
Jefte, the hero of the Real Madrid match, failed to capitalize on several clear scoring opportunities. If he had scored those chances, Albacete could have been in the semi-finals today.

Albacete scored in the 83rd minute, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
Three minutes later, Albacete found the equalizer, making the score 1-2. The match was very exciting after that, but Albacete couldn't find the equalizer and left the tournament with a memorable exit.

Albacete seemed decent indeed. 1.26 xG with 7 shots and 3 big chances! These are good stats for a 2nd league team against Barcelona. But it wasn't enough anyway. The end of a good story for them in the quarter finals...

But at least they managed to make it to this stage by a fairytale. They eliminated Celta and even Real Madrid after. That's a great work by them. Now Barcelona are going to be playing against Real Sociedad in the semi finals.

In fact, Albacete did their best despite everything, in some ways they played better.
He didn't have good possession, according to statistics it's 27% but he held his own against Barcelona, the goal at the end of the match was like saying we don't believe it until the end and we're not afraid.
I appreciated the tenacity despite the performance difference of the teams.

Barcelona's current performance is very consistent and they are going through an unbeaten run. Suddenly one or two matches may go bad, but Barcelona's performance and their team's performance are in perfect harmony with each other. These two aspects have allowed them to create this situation at the moment. This season may be for Barcelona. Barcelona's position was a little bad at the beginning of the season. The biggest reason for being bad is that Barcelona's biggest stars were all injured. But now they have proven that we are above everyone and we are better than everyone.

[Inwestour]

Although Real Madrid's performance is  a bit unstable, the team has been able to continue its winning  streak. Real madrid has been able to win in the last 5 matches of la liga. So there is no chance to think that barcelona is in a very safe zone. Barcelona is ahead by only 1 point. They will lose the top spot in the table  at any time.

Real Madrid is an experienced team. But they  have several problems within the squad. Besides, manager Arbeloa is not an experienced  manager. So it is thought that arbeloa will not be able to keep up madrid's performance. But so far madrid's performance has been consistent.

Barcelona play their next match at home against Mallorca, so there is no doubt they will win and take three points. Real play their next game away against Valencia, I think they should win as well, but then they will face Real Sociedad, and Sociedad are in good form right now. After that Real will also have additional Champions League matches against Benfica, which could take a lot of energy from them. Considering the situation, I think Barcelona currently have a certain advantage.

Right now Barcelona has a very different performance they are scoring goals they have good players and their performance is top notch if they get unlucky in one or two games that should not regard them as a bad team because they have been so consistent with their performance and good game play, if you look are the game play among the players you will see a lot of team work which can be found in a team that has good harmony. This is no longer the beginning of the season where they had a rough start but right now they are in a very good position to win the league that's what they should get in return after a very decent games they had played.

[changaa]

Under the pressure of losing, Real Madrid players illegally obstructed the opponent's players and received red cards. Real is already going through a bad performance and despite changing managers repeatedly the expected benefits are not being achieved. Although the number of star players in the team is high, Mbappé is the only player who has performed well consistently.

The difference is very short and i must say that this thing will be much tighter, the battle will become much tougher since it starts to be even later in the championship the games will be even tougher and in the end we will see who will really manage to do well.

There is no doubt that Raphinha is an individual, but the problem is that no one can guarantee that Raphinha will always be fit, especially since he often experiences injuries, even if they are only minor injuries. However, he also does not rule out the possibility of a decline in performance or contribution from Raphinha. However, if there are no injury problems experienced by Raphinha, I am quite sure that he will be able to develop better and can make a big contribution to the Barcelona team.

The battle continues between Real Madrid and Barcelona, no one is getting involved

Team	Point	GF	GS
Barcellona	55	60	23
Real Madrid	54	47	18
Atletico Madrid	45	38	17
Villarreal	42	39	23
Betis Siviglia	35	36	28
Espanyol	34	26	27

Getafe	23	16	27
Rayo Vallecano	22	18	30
Levante	18	24	34
Real Oviedo	16	12	34

Well all I can say that is going to be a huge title Challenge between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and just like you have said no one is getting involved in this title fight or title push, looking at Atletico Madrid you could always say they’re not getting involved, and I don’t see any other team getting involved in that title battle, the title is obviously between Real Madrid and Barcelona and it’s quite healthy for the La Liga, because leagues that one team is always running away with the League is not always healthy which is why is more important for two opposition to always go head to head to fight for their respective Titles, I don’t really fancy the French League or German Bundesliga because we know who is going to win the League every season, it’s not healthy for the League, The La Liga Title will depend on who goes far in the Champions League.

The biggest reason for being bad is that Barcelona's biggest stars were all injured. But now they have proven that we are above everyone and we are better than everyone.

Barcelona is on a winning streak. In the last 10 matches, they have won eight which is not a bad performance from my own perspective. In the beginning they didn't have a full house as some players were injured and that affected their performance. Barcelona has full house and their performance were great and consistent. They have proven to be the best given their consistency but they must have a winning mindsets to extend their unbeaten record for as long as possible.

[Gallar]

Barcelona only just has to hope that Yamal, Lewandowski, and Raphinha stay fit for most of the remaining part of the season. Unfortunately, Raphinha may be out for some time according to the recent news
This is going to test Barcelona's form. Last time when one of the two (Yamal or Raphinha) was not available, Barcelona went through a rough period.

Yes,, these three players already have good chemistry, so if one of them can't play, Barcelona's performance will certainly experience a significant decline. So if this happens now, it's clearly not right for Barcelona,, ​​because they are currently in a very tight competition with Real Madrid. So they should be able to continue playing well and be able to get three points in every match.

Because currently,, the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is only one point. So, it's clearly not a safe thing for Barcelona. Because if Barcelona gets even a draw, it will certainly make their position overtaken by Real Madrid. So that's why I hope Raphinha can continue playing until the end of this season. Because if he doesn't play,, Rashford will definitely be the one to replace him, and that will clearly make Barcelona's wing less good.

Barcelona has good performance all competition from Champion League, Copa del Rey and La Liga match except get loss from Real Sociedad but overall Barcelona most consistent performance this season than Real Madrid. Already securing the champion league ticket for round 16 and in Copa del Rey have been qualified to semifinal round its bigger achievement for Barcelona if comparison with the rival team Real Madrid.
Current Barcelona composition team not any player get injury and Hansi Flick braveness for playing full teams when facing Albacete in Copa del Rey match, I think Barcelona only need improve performance in La Liga match regarding 1 point remaining with Real Madrid, this week Barcelona will face Real Mallorca and playing early match than the rival team Real Madrid against Valencia.

Because if he doesn't play,, Rashford will definitely be the one to replace him, and that will clearly make Barcelona's wing less good.

It's a bad news for Barcelona but same time a big opportunity for Marcus Rashford prove to Barcelona that he's worthy of being in the team permanently, well he's really improved since he got to Barcelona and more playing time could bring out the best in him, Rashford can comfortably replace Raphinha especially when he's playing at the flank.

 At this point both Real Madrid and Barcelona needs to keep being consistent, Barcelona especially cause a draw or lose would make them lose the top position, it's an opportunity that Real Madrid is hoping for so they'll take over that spot. The competition is now very tough and both teams would be very careful to lose points.

[lizarder]

What Ansi Flick need to do now is to work on that defensive style he has been playing for long. A lot of managers are taking that as and advantage and it's not helping. If they can block that and make sure each team play their part, it will make them go very far and also irrespective of what happened, they should be able to stay the way they are, Real Madrid will lose some matches later or sooner and more gap will be created for them as advantage.

Why can you be so certain that Real Madrid will lose a few games in the future, and why don't you think Barcelona could also experience the same situation? Overall, it may be true that Barcelona is much better than Real Madrid at the moment, but that doesn't mean Barcelona won't drop points as there are still many games left this season before both can defend. Barcelona's performance has indeed improved significantly and they have an advantage in attack, so what needs to be evaluated is how to solidify the defense to prevent conceding goals.

A one-point difference is quite small and perhaps in El Clasico it will be decisive. There is still hope for both teams to perform much more consistently and for Real Madrid who are currently experiencing injuries to several key players, it will be a little more difficult for them to maintain overall team consistency in the remaining matches of this season but I believe there will always be a way for Real Madrid.

Barcelona were under pressure to win but they love to enjoy the win. You are right that Barcelona played in a way that they were sure to win, with a mental preparation and no restlessness among the players. But things got a little complicated when Albacete got a goal in the 87 minute. Barcelona players thought they were sure to win but they conceded the goal and played more cautiously in the last few minutes of the match. I wouldn't have been surprised if the match had been a draw.

Barcelona have been inconsistent for some time and it got to a point that it was looking as if they were no longer in the race because there is a way they were performing that was discouraging because how on earth did real madrid get closer, and now they getting back, at least they won there last game because i knew barcelona will not let this go easily and i was happy that they did not give real madrid a chance because who would have expected this to happen.

barcelona will be playing against mallorca and barcelona would be able to win this one is for sure because we dont even know what mallorca will give  to barcelona but lets be sure that barcelona will do everything to protect there intention to win the league.

The biggest reason for being bad is that Barcelona's biggest stars were all injured. But now they have proven that we are above everyone and we are better than everyone.

Now that most of their injured stars are back, Barcelona is getting back on track and are performing very awesomely, my only  concern now about  them at this time is that the point  differences between them and Madrid is very small such that they could  fall off the top position by a slip. Barcelona  needs to make sure to consistently get more points ahead of Madrid, now they have more like a complete squad so of they are looking  at the title, they will need to put in that title effort for the la liga.

[Hanadawa]

It will certainly be more exciting considering the current gap between them is so narrow that sometimes El Clasico matches can be decisive for these two teams in the standings or the title race at the end of the season. However this is very clear now and many people are looking forward to El Clasico matches that can be used as a decisive event for positions or the championship.

Real Madrid is currently facing a number of issues stemming from the previous season. The latest is the sacking of Xabi Alonso and player ego issues. This should have been an opportunity for Barcelona to widen the points gap. However, the gap between the two teams is currently only one point, and Barcelona has significant defensive issues. I think it would be a huge embarrassment for Barcelona if Real Madrid were to win the title this season, as they managed to win the league with a team that could be considered unsolid. From the schedule I've seen, El Clasico will take place in May. I agree with you that El Clasico will be even more exciting with this situation.
