La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Silence Scream]

Mbappé is indeed a great player and always scores a lot of goals. But it's certainly a shame that even though Real Madrid has many good players, they often fail to capitalize on their chances. They often pass to Mbappé, who ultimately capitalizes on them. Barcelona has players who always appear more confident in front of the opponent's goal, which ultimately results in goals being scored, and not just focused on one player.

But in my opinion, Barcelona and Real Madrid players have their own unique style, and they are certainly the best in La Liga right now. Now we'll see whether Real Madrid or Barcelona will perform better in the upcoming matches.

Mbappe is a phenomenal player and scores a lot of goal, this is a player that just having him in the team gives you an advantage over the others, i am truly convinced that there is no player so technically strong currently who can do what he does at this moment and he is proving it to everyone, this guy is incredible.

Of course, just having him on the team is a huge advantage. When we see how Mbappé plays at Real Madrid, we understand that the other players aren't effective enough. If this continues, Mbappé will remain the brains of the team for Real Madrid. Without Mbappé, they are ineffective in most matches. His presence always gives Real Madrid strength.

Who else noticed that Ademola Lookman scored on his debut against Real Betis last night in their Copa del Rey fixture? It was a very comfortable win for Diego Simeone and his boys in the competition but I wonder if they can be able to replicate this performance when it comes to the league because it would be a big shame if they go far in other tournaments but are stuck at a place in the Laliga.
 I believe that if Atletico Madrid can continue this performance they gave against Betis in the league, it would make a worthy competition against the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Lookman was at his best in his first match. He scored a goal and provided an assist. It was a promising game for the future, but we know that it's not right to judge a player based on just one match. Yes, he played well in this match, but this match doesn't tell us how the other matches will go. They will be playing against different teams and different players in every game. Their chances of winning the championship are quite low, and I think they will approach the matches with less stress. The championship will go to either Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​but Atletico Madrid, with its strongest squad, aims to finish this year in the best possible way. Because they still have a goal in the Champions League.

I don't think that Simeone is afted winning any title, he is only after maintaining the strength of the club till any season that they're strong enough to fight for the title. Lookmon did excellently well and I hope he can add a big impact on the team attacking line. We all know the favorite spot for Atletico on the table.

[Hypnotizer]

Real Betis is losing form, since losing against Real Madrid in the league, their performance has not been the same, they played at home, but they conceded three goals in the first half, and Atletico Madrid added two more goals in the second half to finish the match 0-5. Atletico Madrid won comfortably and advance to the next round of the Copa del Rey.

Real Betis haven’t been consistent with their performance lately especially in Laliga and yesterday night I was really disappointed by their performance at home, they weren’t able to net even a single goal abd they conceded five, that’s really disappointing and should I say unfortunately for them they will still meet Atletico Madrid in Laliga on Sunday but this time in Atletico Madrid home and with the performance they displayed yesterday I’m kinda certain Atletico Madrid can surely win them again on Sunday or maybe they’ll increase their performance to try and take revenge..


Also Atletico Madrid will face Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey semifinal, Barcelona are definitely favorites to win that game and I’m sure Barcelona will put in effort to move to the final and take the trophy…the last time they meet Barcelona won them with three goals to one and Barcelona’s performance is kinda more good than that of December, so Atletico Madrid have some challenges to overcome.

Of course, just having him on the team is a huge advantage. When we see how Mbappé plays at Real Madrid, we understand that the other players aren't effective enough. If this continues, Mbappé will remain the brains of the team for Real Madrid. Without Mbappé, they are ineffective in most matches. His presence always gives Real Madrid strength.

Will Mbappe be luckier with Madrid? At PSG he was a key player, but he couldn't win the UCL. At Madrid, it seems almost the same; his performance as an individual player is very good, proven by him becoming the top scorer. Will Mbappe's curse continue? Failing to win the UCL, and even worse, in his second year he hasn't been able to lead Madrid to a La Liga title. This is based on my observation of Mbappe at PSG. His status as a star player also makes Mbappe bold enough to control his teammates, and this shouldn't happen if there is a head coach in the team. Misfortune might be following him at Madrid right now.

[bastisisca]

Kylian Mbappe has delivered the best performances of his career on the left wing. That is where he gets more space to sprint with the ball and cut inside to take shots. The team looks like it lacks a proper striker, so Madrid urgently needs a clinical finisher. Additionally, there are excellent players on the bench for the midfield.

I don't understand what the hell Real Madrid is doing. Some of their tactical and strategic choices about who to play make absolutely no sense. Honestly, i consider them mistakes only a rookie coach would make, and even their choices about who to play seem completely random.

[banana33]

It was a fantastic game, I was hoping that he scores or assist in his debut and he ended up doing both I heard that his coach Diego Simeone delayed training so he could join and he will be more happier he did start him, just a single training he did with the team and he?s this well adapted to the team I wonder what it might be like going forward.
I?m beginning to get scared for Barcelona at the Copa Del Rey Final, he might be the key to unlocking a title for Atletico Madrid this season.

You want to say this, it was a sensational match.
Very nice, honestly, as a person of humble origins, i really appreciate the entertainment provided by these beautiful and emotion-filled matches.

It doesn't take much for me to connect with the people who experience these beautiful emotions.
Well done Diego Simeone, you have created a little masterpiece.

Kudos to Lookman for scoring a goal in his debut match and I think he’s made a good decision to be here and in a midst of young players who are working hard to make the club proud.

Ademola Lookman has always been a very good player and I am so happy that he finally moved to a club that's fits his status. He has had issues with his manager at Atalanta and I think he was not treated well, despite the fact that he is one of their most important players,  so moving to a bigger club, just tells how good he has been performing.  I am also very happy that he scored on his debut. I am really expecting a lot from him and I am very sure that he will do well and also improve the team.

No doubt, last night Ademola Lookman made impressive debut with Atletico Madrid at Copa del Rey match scoring one goal and make one assist, playing since the early until 74th minutes Lookman has impressive performance on left winger position and has amazing goal scoring after successfully outwitting two Real Betis defenders. I think many fans happy seeing Lookman debut without need more longer time has quite time for adapting well.
Now waiting Lookman contribution at La Liga match where Atletico Madrid face the same opponent team Real Betis, just difference for this time Atletico Madrid will playing home and its great chance for Lookman to show his performance in front of the Atletico fans.

Lookman didn't just score, he also assisted. His touches and link-up play with teammates were good. He also missed a couple of chances, but overall, I think he did well based on the little time he had to train and bond with teammates. Honestly, I didn't expect Lookman to be part of the starting eleven. I thought he would be introduced as a second-half substitute. To start the match sends a clear message that Simeone thinks highly of him.

[KTChampions]

Tomorrow Barcelona are going to host Mallorca. What an easy game on paper right? Mallorca are like one of the worst teams with only 5 points collected in 11 away games.

It should easily be a 3-game winning streak for the home side as a result. They have won all of their 10 home games so far by the way.  

Meanwhile Real Madrid have an away one against Valencia. I appreciate Valencia's home record. They haven't lost for many weeks there. But I think it will be the end of the road this Sunday.

I also think the outcome of these games is a foregone conclusion. But we have an interesting pairing just one rung below: Atlético Madrid plays Betis, and Villarreal (which are practically vying for third place) plays Espanyol. It's unlikely that Betis and Espanyol can threaten Atletico and Villarreal in the fight for the top four, they are more likely to be busy establishing themselves in the European Cup zone, but these will still be interesting games.

Earlier I saw it on Sofascore like it was going to be Real Sociedad facing Barcelona in the semi finals of Copa del Rey. But it turns out they wrote it wrong interestingly.

Instead it is going to be Barcelona against Atletico Madrid... There are going to be 2 legs in this stage. The first leg is at Atletico Madrid's home. Even though I adored their incredible effort against Real Betis I still favour Barcelona to eliminate them.

He is the only one who is leading Real Madrid forward. You may disagree with my opinion but the fact is that he has contributed immensely to almost every victory this season and is the top scorer in La Liga so far. He has scored 22 goals in 21 matches, including several hat-tricks. Although he has other good players in the team, they are not performing as well as he does.
Many analysts believe that without Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid will be a much weaker team this season. In fact, we have seen how badly the team has been performing and losing points due to his injury in the past few matches.

[m4r1o]

In the next round they will face Atletico Madrid which we know will be quite fierce. Atletico Madrid is currently in good form so Bilbao will continue to improve to be better prepared for the next round.

This victory is important above all for their desire to do well, Athletic Bilbao is a team that is strong but not too much and i think there is little that can be done if Athletic is in perfect physical shape i see it very difficult for them, obviously if everything goes as it should, nothing can ever be taken for granted

This are the potential Madrid saw and taught to make it necessary he becomes part of their team as they have already envisaged the much  they can achieve having him in their corner as a teammate, and so far he has not failed to deliver on his end only  that the entirety of the team does not seem solid and their depth seems to be shaking as at this time so it is not allowing the productivity of his potential filled with as much results as should have been seen by now.

[changaa]

It will really be interesting to see who plays against the Barcelona guys but if it is not going to be atletico Madrid then I?m very confident they will go to the finals because they can easily beat the rest of the clubs remaining. Kudos to Lookman for scoring a goal in his debut match and I think he?s made a good decision to be here and in a midst of young players who are working hard to make the club proud.

Five goals are really a lot, is like looking at what our attack is capable of doing.
I am not Spanish but I'd be curious to know from a local Spanish person how much the Copa del Rey is worth to them.
Our Coppa Italia isn't highly regarded in Italy, i was curious to know on a scale of 1 to 10 how much is worth to a Spaniard.

[bastisisca]

They played their last Champions League match against Benfica and conceded four goals. Furthermore, two of their players received red cards and will miss the next match against Benfica. Given their demanding schedule and the need to prioritize the Champions League, I think they are likely to drop points in the league.

As i said elsewhere and even a few days ago, i have given Real Madrid my personal negative outlook at the moment.
The team isn't working, and they can't put everything on Kylian Mbappe's shoulders.
It doesn't work that way in teams like that, sorry.

[Majestic-milf]

Everything is about mentality and if they, Atletico Madrid, can have the right mentality there's nothing they can't achieve. For sometime now they have been their games in the Laliga so if they remove their minds from just surviving to be able to play in the UCL, I don't see why they can't compete for the title. There's nothing special if I'm being honest about Barcelona and Real Madrid, it's just that no team has stood up to take the bull by the horns and challenged them.

Yes, it is true that we can never blame a player. If every player in the team is able to play at the same pace, then the result of the match will never depend on one player. However, we have seen some decisions and some counter-measures by Kylian Mbappe, which put a lot of pressure on the team.

The relationship between each player in the Real Madrid team is not good with each other. If every player in the team did not play for himself, but went out to play for the team, then maybe Real Madrid would not be in such a position today. If Real Madrid is able to fix these aspects through proper management, then maybe we will see Madrid's old form again.

Agree. In the past we have always seen madrid as a strong team. They are not dependent on any specific player. But this season the scenario is different. Madrid has become badly dependent on mbappe. I am sure that if Mbappe is absent in a match, it will be  very difficult for madrid to win. This dependence is very risky. Madrid  will start losing points as soon as Mbappe gets injured. A club as experienced and strong as madrid should never base  their strategy around just one  player.

I have doubts about Kylian Mbappe, and I have doubts about his long-term position at Real Madrid. We can see how Real Madrid has fallen apart since he arrived and how the team has been divided. In such a situation, no manager can bring Real Madrid back to form or its old form. We have seen three managers since Mbappe arrived, but the results are the same. Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso were certainly talented, but they also failed with this team. Now Arbeloa is struggling with this team, it remains to be seen whether he will succeed or not.
