La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Hvdv]

Without Mbappé, they might have already been out of the title race. To be honest, Mbappé is the most important talent Real Madrid has had in recent years. His individual skills are very strong, and yesterday he wore down the opposing defense many times. He gets past players quickly and creates chances. He and Arda also formed a good partnership, but we didn't see many chances from them last night.

That's why Real Madrid has been so interested in Mbappé for years, as his quality is very great and he's one of the best players in the world. Besides that,, since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has made a extraordinary contribution, and this season, Mbappé's contribution has been extraordinary, as he has capable the team's performance and currently leads the La Liga top scorer list.

Real Madrid may not be leading the league right now, but Mbappé is at the top of the goalscoring charts with 23 goals. His excellent performance is a major factor in keeping Real Madrid at this level. Barcelona is a better team in Spain, but their top scorer is Ferran Torres with 12 goals. This alone speaks volumes about Barcelona's team play.

This is the time for Real Madrid to maintain their energy in the league, any mistakes from Real Madrid, they will cost them the title race, they are still one point behind Barcelona, and both teams will meet weak opponents in their next two to three matches, I don’t think the game will determine the title winner until the end of the season.

With the form of Barcelona, Real Madrid needs to keep winning their matches to maintain a close gap with Barcelona because anything that makes Real Madrid drop three points and Barcelona increase the points between them and Real Madrid to four points, Real Madrid should kiss the title goodbye because they will never get the chance to overtake Barcelona again.

Real Madrid played dangerously until the final minutes, constantly risking conceding a goal. However, Mbappé's second goal in extra time eased their worries. Losing points this week, especially with Barcelona securing three points, would have been the worst thing for Real Madrid. Fortunately, they didn't have any problems in this match and managed to get three points. The point difference remains the same this week.

Real Madrid players continued to try to score goals until the end  of the match. Anyway, they were not at much risk. The opponent valencia was very weak. They could not create any strong attacking opportunities. As a result, madrid had the opportunity to play with a completely  attacking strategy. And madrid was able to continue their winning streak. They are only 1 point behind Barcelona. If Barcelona loses a point in a match, they will also lose the top  spot. Although madrid's performance is unstable , they are able to continue their winning streak.

Yes, Real Madrid should not have much trouble in the match between Real Madrid and Valencia, Valencia is a very weak team, which we can understand from yesterday's match, Valencia could not make any shots in yesterday's match, their shots on target were zero, Real Madrid's shots on target were 7, the entire match yesterday was under Real Madrid's control, although considering Valencia's weakness, Real Madrid was expected to score more, but anyway, they scored two goals and won the match easily.

Barcelona are good, but they are shaky and not too better. A team that is topping the top of the league is ought to give high margin in points but what's the difference now? I don't just have confidence that they can flip this opportunity and win the League. A team that lose as they win rarely win the League, Real Madrid has lose and win, Barcelona is just the same but they are good at handling bad games to their own favour.

Real Madrid is understandably generating penalties, if a team attacks more it is normal that there is a greater possibility of winning a penalty and that is what they are doing, it is clear that Real Madrid has always been a great team and that is why it will improve even more.

Arbeloa doesn't give a damn about his coaching career anymore. He knows he will leave anyway and you can totally see it on the pitch. okay, yesterday was a tough away game,i get it but zero creativity, zero chances, and the football was painful to watch.
the crazy thing is even with this trash football they are only 1 point behind the leaders. It’s actually unbelievable.

[pewboy]

Alvaro Carreras scored the first goal of the match. Madrid scored the first goal in the 65th minute of the match. And after 90 minutes, Mbappe's goal ensured Madrid won 2-0. Valencia's target was to play defensively and draw the match. They didn't make any strong attacks in the whole match. Their overall gameplay was very weak. And in the end, Valencia lost the match 2-0. With Madrid's victory in this match, their point gap with Barcelona is still only 1.

Real Madrid, despite not being very good at their game yet, still manages to do well and have some good victories. Now they have to think about playing and staying focused.
Valencia hasn't been able to do their defensive job, which they've wanted to do for a long time.
Me think that if this team plays like this, they can't win against Real Madrid.

It was not an easy game for Real Madrid yesterday because they ended the first half goalless draw and I was thinking the game might end draw but fortunately Real Madrid had their first goal at the late 60th minute of the game and later completed 2 goals at the added time. I came across a post yesterday where someone said anytime Barcelona win their game that Real Madrid will also follow suit and Real Madrid would not have afford to lose against Valencia.

One last thing Mbappe needs to add to his career record would be winning  the champions league which he currently has not but hoping to win Real Madrid, if the team improves quality and get on the champions league with a better performance, I believe mbappe will be putting his best to getting the team to the title that they desire and even for his career records too, I believe soon even if it is not this season, he will have a champions league title to his career record.

I quite understand the frustration especially for someone who is watching Madrid’s performance with keen interest. Madrid has developed this new character of gambling their chances and have gradually retrogressed when it comes to awesome performance in most of their games. I know they are very resilient and could score goals even in die minutes but it is never the best way a team should play to their games especially when they were at first leading the top table and when they later dropped to the second position, I was expecting more protectiveness from their end to making more chances, progrsss and wins as a team but they kept moving and staggering at the same time. They still have the chances of taking back the top position of the table but it will require more commitment, more effort and delivery to be able to achieve this.

[changaa]

Oh no!
You mean Betis can't in the 15 matches left win 7 more matches than Barcelona?
15 matches left, 45 points on the table, Barca advantage 20 points, Barca need 25 so 8 wins and a draw in 15 matches while Betis wins everything!
The same team that has 38 points in 23 matches to make 45 in 15 ? Lols!

The only outsider of the 3 that could do it if all the stars aligned is probably Villareal, who are 16 points behind but lack two matches.

These calculations don't make much sense, right now they have to try to always win without looking at what the others are doing against the other teams, i understand that there are things to do, points to gain but they have to stay focused and try to gain even more distance from Real Madrid

Their are great top players that doesn't won the uefa champions league during their playing days, so if mbappe doesn't wins it now or later in the future, it's not a big deal, because I do not see him surpassing zlatan Ibrahimovic that didn't won it.
Though he is still very young and the team he is playing for has that reputation of winning the uefa champions league the most, but if real madrid do not improve, they are never going to win it, playing the way they are doing now, so just like you have said, it may not be this season, but if they don't improve more than this in the future to come, they might not even get close to the semi finals stage again.

Real Madrid, despite not being very good at their game yet, still manages to do well and have some good victories. Now they have to think about playing and staying focused.

What Real Madrid needs to do towards the end of this season is to win every game, even if they are not playing well, so they can keep the points gap with Barcelona close and keep their chances of winning the title alive.

[giorgione]

Even as a Real Madrid fan, there is no way to deny that although Real Madrid was able to beat Valencia 0-2 in the last match, their overall performance was not as sharp and artistic as before, meaning that even though opportunities were created, the finishing was weak and the wing play on the right and left was often ineffective. Another rare thing about Real Madrid is their reliance on iconic players. For example, without Vinicius, Real's attack naturally becomes quite weak. Therefore, Real should field players who can put pressure on the other side's defenders with their speed, which gives the other forwards of the team space to do something good. Honestly, without Vinicius, Real's attack becomes very predictable.

The performances are certainly not very high and this team always takes a lot of risks, it went well against Valencia because it is a team that gives little and does not cause many problems, i understand that there are some things to improve but this is only the beginning of everything they have to do and they are not doing too badly.

Real Madrid finished the 23th week of the season strong by defeating Valencia 0-2. In my opinion, Valencia is strong. This is evident in the first half, as Real Madrid failed to score against Valencia. In the second half, Real Madrid managed to score against Valencia through Carreras and Mbappé. In my opinion, Real Madrid should have scored more goals against Valencia. Considering the league standings, Real Madrid and Valencia are significantly different, as Valencia is close to the relegation zone.

I watched this game at least completed the first half and part of the second half when Carreras scored his goal. Honestly it was a bad playing style from Real Madrid and wasn't like any that could be said they were playing against a relegation zone side. Real Madrid didn't dominate the game going by the unmatched level of their opponent which made the first half to end in goalless. What made them to win that game was just that they were against a poor side who are one of the teams with the poorest performing record in the La'liga this season.

They played under constant pressure, the match was exciting, but this behavior is not reassuring.
Seeing Real Madrid suffer to maintain victory is a bad sign.
Thank goodness they have Mbappe who put the net in to reassure the team and the fans, even though it was already won.
They are still in the running towards Barcelona, this keeps them alive with the intention of reaching the title, it will be very tough but at least the competition is moving and there is even a risk of placing bets.

Real Madrid face some challenges yesterday against Valencia which I never have thoughts obscene the match in that way, early before the match I was so confident for Real Madrid because I don't see Valencia as a threat to them but honestly i was surprised to see the game like that. What really matter is the three-point and Real Madrid successfully secured it, barcelona fans were not happy yesterday because they are not comfortable with a single point difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid, because they believe that anything can happen, but right now Barcelona are performing better than Real Madrid. Barcelona really have to continue with their consistency so that a lot of great things will fall for them if it come to Real Madrid this season.

What really matter is the three-point and Real Madrid successfully secured it.

There are several factors that make Madrid quite difficult to get 3 points from Valencia, the first factor, Madrid did not field a full core squad here, some important players were only dropped as substitutes, even Vini, and Bellingham were not on the list, which is quite understandable. Lastly, it's pretty clear that Madrid still have problems in terms of their play, because considering the quality, even with their second string players they shouldn't have too much trouble beating Valencia. But it is still worth being grateful that they managed to overcome these difficulties in that match and keep the pressure on Barcelona with that 1 point gap.

After the emphatic win Atletico Madrid got during their mid week game against Real Betis at away, I was hoping that they will continue with the slaughter this weekend especially as they were playing from home. I never imagined that Real Betis were coming to get their revenge. It's really unbelievable that a team that scored 5 goals against same opponent in the Copa del ray couldn't score one goal today. It was really shocking to me. Atletico Madrid has failed to score in two consecutive league games and that's disturbing.  

A huge win with the score of 0–5 misguided many punters about this game while bookies also put Atlético Madrid as hot favourite with the odds of @1.5 these were understandable after having big win at Sevilla.

In this crucial game at Madrid, Betis were on good run while Antony only goal in 26th minute made big difference. Atlético Madrid's attack was completely clueless throughout game despite having enough chances, now it's time for them to change their strategy from defensive mood to attacking because this can give them better results.

Betis is doing good but sadly still their chances are not good for having spot into top 4, their difference of points still enough but with consistency and better performance, they can perform well in upcoming rounds.

Madrid has issues with their midfield, the players on this wing needs to be substituted, they went through a lot of trouble winning Valencia, it was obvious that they struggled to score in the first half and most of their matches have been like that. with such a flaw I don't think they have what it takes to compete against Barcelona if they do not improve.

Barcelona have a match coming up later this month, if I remember the date correctly. In that match, Barcelona's midfield will likely be at a better level than Real Madrid's. Real Madrid has a very high-quality squad, that's undeniable, but looking at the game itself, Barcelona plays a much superior and higher-quality game. When comparing the two teams, Barcelona has far more effective and stronger players in midfield. With Mbappé, Barcelona is by far the best attacking team in the midfield.
