La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[rachael9385]

Real Madrid continue to chase Barcelona for the lead. The gap is still 1 point after their win over Valencia. By the way I can't say I'm very impressed with their game in that one.

Next time they are going to host Real Sociedad which is in 4 days. They have been winning in the La Liga for 8 weeks in a row! It is better than Barcelona's recent form. I expect it to be 9 weeks with this game...

Real Madrid winning Valencia without Vini, Rodrygo and Bellingham shows that they can play well and win a trophy if they are serious, in the first half of the game Vallencia look good and play like a team that want to win or end the game draw but in the second half Real Madrid prove that they are the best team in the world, they win the game to make sure they keep chasing Barcelona and i like the way they win the match and prove that they are still in the title race.

Real Madrid next game is against Real Sociedad, Real sociedad is having a good performance and they have not lost in their last 6 games, Real Madrid can only win the game with home advantage and with the opportunity of having Vini with some of the players back in the squad, Real Madrid will make sure they win the game because Barcelona will win their next game against Girona.

Sure they can perform well without they key players but lets not neglect the fact that real madrid actually struggled to score in their match against Valencia, The fist half was tough for them and they didn't score until after the 50th minute. They should be able to win real Sociedad based on the fact that they have home advantage. They would definitely win so they can try to catch up with Barcelona.

Even without Vini, Rodrygo, and Bellingham, Real Madrid's squad is very strong. They already have many good players, and they shouldn't have problems against teams like Valencia if only two or three players are missing.
If a team like Real Madrid doesn't have squad depth, then what team does? We're talking about the richest club in the world.
It's only normal for them to struggle against top teams. In fact, I think it would be to Real Madrid's benefit if at least one of the players you mentioned didn't play.

There is no doubt that every player in Madrid's squad is very talented. There is a very strong squad. I agree with you that Madrid is strong enough without Vini, Rodrygo and Bellingham. But this squad has become heavily reliant on Mbappe. Without Mbappe in the squad, it will be difficult for them to win any match. Real Madrid have scored 49 goals this season. Mbappe's contribution is 27 goals. He scored 23 goals in 22 matches. I would say that if Mbappe suffers an injury, the Madrid squad will face a big problem.

If we look at the moment, we can see that Atletico Madrid and Villarreal are performing approximately the same and at the moment, their points are equal, meaning La Liga giants Atletico Madrid and Villarreal have 45 points at the moment. However, I think it's fair to say that this result is enough to motivate Villarreal for the next match.

The Spanish championship is definitely intriguing, i always really like this competition that is created, i wouldn't take Atletico Madrid for granted as finished, in fact they can do much more than what they are doing at the moment, these players have a crucial role and the new signings are certainly sensational and will do very well.

The competition is really interesting but I don't think Athletico Madrid should be included in the title race because of their inconsistency even though they can't be underrated. Being in the title race demands a lot and that's something I don't see with Atletico Madrid. They can't be in the race with their performance, losing to Real Betis is surprising, the same team they won 0- 5 in the Copa Del Rey few days ago. Also they draw against Levante a team struggling in the relegation zone it all shows they are not capable of challenging for the title. They are 12 points behind Real Madrid that's 2nd place, that's too much gap for title contenders. They should just focus on securing a spot for the champions league.

Atletico Madrid's inconsistent performance has already put them out of the title race. They are now 12 points behind Real Madrid and are in third place. There is a huge gap of 13 points with Barcelona in first place. I don't think it will be possible for Atletico Madrid to overcome this gap. Barcelona and Real Madrid are not ready to lose now. They are very busy in their own matches now. When the knockout matches of the Champions League start, Atletico Madrid will have an opportunity to reduce the points gap, but it seems doubtful how they will use that opportunity.

Making sense to see this wonderful display by Villarreal but I'm not ok with the way they play in almost all competitions, champions league performance was very poor and the league games against the big side isn't that impressive at all but tonight was different and I wonder why wait to be totally out of the title race before showing this kind of display? Well, we can't say anything to push them to battle it out with Barcelona and Madrid to win the league title but yet again nice play and congrats to Villarreal.

Villarreal's squad depth will struggle to match their competence with a busy schedule making their performances inconsistent. After a poor run of five matches, Villarreal managed to secure a promising win against Espanyol, although they weren't a particularly strong opponent, but the result was positive. Expecting Villarreal to compete with Barcelona or Real Madrid is unlikely, but I hope Villarreal can perform much better so they can compete with Atletico Madrid for third place at the end of the season as they still have one match left to play unplayed.

For the third position in the standings it is very logical for Villarreal, Atletico Madrid is not so good this season while Villarreal shows its fangs this season, they have managed to grow a very big motivation to compete in the top 3, now the points between Atletico Madrid are the same as Villarreal with full awareness for me Villarreal has the potential to eliminate Atletico Madrid, one game left can be a big hope if their points remain as they are now, Villarreal might see that opportunity seriously.

Next time they are going to host Real Sociedad which is in 4 days. They have been winning in the La Liga for 8 weeks in a row! It is better than Barcelona's recent form. I expect it to be 9 weeks with this game...

It's easier to follow in second place, as the leading team is more likely to drop points or make mistakes. I'm sure the stress on Barcelona players right now is very high.

Looking at their recent fixtures, I think Barcelona will continue without dropping points. They don't have many opponents that will challenge them too much, but tough days await them at the end of the month. They will play against both Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao, which will be a bit tiring and challenging

I think it was just a normal win, even without Vini, Rodrygo, and Bellingham. Valencia hasn't been a particularly tough opponent this season; they're a bottom-of-the-table team. So, Real Madrid should win fairly easily.

Meanwhile, regarding the next match against Real Sociedad, this presents a rather interesting challenge. Real Sociedad are unbeaten in seven consecutive matches, which suggests they're in good form, as you've already mentioned. However, I suspect that Real Madrid won't be going all out to secure points against Sociedad in the match against Real Sociedad, as just a few days later, they face a tough Champions League match: a life-or-death match against Benfica in the playoffs for the Champions League Round of 16.

[Roseline492]

Equal points means that both teams are not equally strong, although both teams are in good form now, but their strength is different. So comparing Atletico Madrid with Villarreal is inappropriate for me. If you analyze Atletico Madrid, you will have to say that they are much more experienced and have a much greater ability to handle big matches than Villarreal.

When the point are the same, the two teams have won an equal matches, either draw or lost they both got the same thing and using the equal to no if there performances are also equal, sometimes they can be the same and most time it will not, I want to use Barcelona and real Madrid even if the point is not equal but when this two clubs have equal points means that they also have it on there performances even with this one point added for Barcelona in getting higher than real Madrid but however if it was a club as Villarreal that has the point of real Madrid it wouldn't mean they can play as real Madrid because they can't stand on the players of real Madrid.

I was initially scared for Real Madrid due to the absence of the trio, but with the availability of Kylian Mbappe i wasn't that scared again. However, Real Madrid is just a strong team that want to keep the energy positive because this is a critical time that any mistake can cost them missing out the title easily to Barcelona so they are really very careful. In the match against Valencia, after they ended the first half in a draw i was a bit skeptical if Real Madrid can return for the second half and still win but i have often saw them winning a lot of matches in the second half after a tensed first half draw.

[hyudien]

Atletico Madrid's inconsistent performance has already put them out of the title race. They are now 12 points behind Real Madrid and are in third place. There is a huge gap of 13 points with Barcelona in first place. I don't think it will be possible for Atletico Madrid to overcome this gap. Barcelona and Real Madrid are not ready to lose now. They are very busy in their own matches now. When the knockout matches of the Champions League start, Atletico Madrid will have an opportunity to reduce the points gap, but it seems doubtful how they will use that opportunity.

Atletico Madrid will also be busy in the knockout stages, if you mean the playoffs. So they have no chance to close the gap if they have to take advantage of that schedule. The only way is to improve their performance, which actually showed improvement a few weeks ago, but for some reason, they've been stuck in inconsistency again, perhaps Simeone has run out of tactics.
Well, in the knockout stages, the one who benefits the most is Barcelona, ​​because they have time to focus on La Liga while their rivals are busy fighting for a ticket to the Champions League round of 16.

[Baki202]

You are saying almost same thing as my taughts, that dependency on Mbappe has to stop but then can be taken advantage of too, almost everyone now see it that Madrid has got a very huge dependency on Mbappe, they can stop that already while others still think they are in that and use other players or give them the chance to score goals and get the team the results they desire and the win the trophy together in their name.

I don't think that is correct no one is depending on mbappe fully the only thing I see in this situation is that they are trying to help mbappe accomplish is goal and if he does that then the merit will go for both the players and the club and all the players have been very supportive and the only player that I feel is not that serious even mbappe is not a serious player sometimes because the way they usually play at times you will wonder if they are actually serious and next time you see them perform very well and the next time you will see that they are not stable.

And that is why this season I did not even give them my support to much because I know that they are not serious and this is why and sometime  just because they want to support mbappe they will lose everything and it is becoming very annoying and they should choose winning over supporting or depending on just one player. And even as they are close to Barcelona is just one point away.  They still might find it hard to flip Barcelona because recently Barcelona have been very consistent. Because real Madrid are not really having the zeal to win the trophy this season.

I think it was just a normal win, even without Vini, Rodrygo, and Bellingham. Valencia hasn't been a particularly tough opponent this season; they're a bottom-of-the-table team. So, Real Madrid should win fairly easily.

Valencia is not a strong opponent for Real Madrid to fear, but Real Madrid is also worried before the match starts because Valencia could give a surprising performance in front of their own public amidst Real Madrid's target to continue to stick with Barcelona at the top of the standings.
Real Madrid's victory was normal with a score of 0-2 without Vinicius and Jude. If you look at Valencia's strength yesterday, Real Madrid should have won by more than 2 goals. This indicates that Real Madrid's front line is still not sharp enough.

Meanwhile, regarding the next match against Real Sociedad, this presents a rather interesting challenge. Real Sociedad are unbeaten in seven consecutive matches, which suggests they're in good form, as you've already mentioned. However, I suspect that Real Madrid won't be going all out to secure points against Sociedad in the match against Real Sociedad, as just a few days later, they face a tough Champions League match: a life-or-death match against Benfica in the playoffs for the Champions League Round of 16.

Surprisingly Real Sociedad in 7 matches 10 matches without defeat in a row including beating Barcelona will make gamblers think hard about their betting choices on Real Madrid. Here, I have no doubts about Real Madrid's victory.

[pawel7777]

No changes at the top after last weekend's round. As expected, neither Barcelona or Real had any problems defeating their rivals: Mallorca and Valencia, respectively. Real had to wait for their first goal till the 65th minute, but Valencia didn't pose much threat to them.

Real Madrid's issues with Vinicius Junior's contract might be coming to an end. The rumours are they will make a U-turn and give him what he wants. This apparently can jeopardise Real's chances of signing up Jurgen Klopp as the manager, as apparently one of Klopp's main demands is/was that Real sells Vinicius Junior this summer, as he doesn't see him in his team.

[Abdulzuruku01]

Despite their display in this tournament, Barcelona is still standing in a good position to lift this laLiga league trophy, because Villarreal and Atletico Madrid will not make them to over come Real Madrid and Barcelona to start toping all the clubs in the laLiga league table.

Despite Real Madrid closing the points gap with Barcelona, I don't see them lifting the La Liga trophy because currently Barcelona is the best team in La Liga and considered the favorite to win the La Liga trophy honestly I don't have doubt about this. Real Madrid next game is against Real Sociedad but will they win Real Sociedad? Real Sociedad has remained undefeated in their last six matches and will like to maintain that streak against Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid is the favourites and and their performance has been improving, but we'll see if they can overcome Sociedad.

[Humblevirus]

You are saying almost same thing as my taughts, that dependency on Mbappe has to stop but then can be taken advantage of too, almost everyone now see it that Madrid has got a very huge dependency on Mbappe, they can stop that already while others still think they are in that and use other players or give them the chance to score goals and get the team the results they desire and the win the trophy together in their name.

It is very possible that Real Madrid are now depending on Mbappe With the way things are going on at Real Madrid, some people think they are helping Mbappe to accomplish his own goals. That is something wrong. How will a team that wants to win trophies try to help a player accomplish his personal aim of scoring goals? That is not how a team works.If a team only wants one player to be scoring goals, that means they are not ready to win trophies, because most chances will be wasted, as everyone will always just want to give Mbappe the ball to score.

But what I have to say is that Mbappe is a big player, and that is the respect they are giving him. They always give him the opportunity to start matches, and seriously, he always delivers. Whenever he is absent from the field, they always feel his absence.Let it be known that there is always one player in a squad who is like a king, and when he is not there, the squad will feel his absence. That is what Mbappe is at Real Madrid now. When Messi was at Barcelona, without Messi it was just like three players were missing from the squad. The same applies to Ronaldo, and this is how Mbappé was treated at PSG, and it is the same thing they are trying to do with Mbappe now.

[Abu-Naim]

Atletico Madrid's inconsistent performance has already put them out of the title race. They are now 12 points behind Real Madrid and are in third place. There is a huge gap of 13 points with Barcelona in first place. I don't think it will be possible for Atletico Madrid to overcome this gap. Barcelona and Real Madrid are not ready to lose now. They are very busy in their own matches now. When the knockout matches of the Champions League start, Atletico Madrid will have an opportunity to reduce the points gap, but it seems doubtful how they will use that opportunity.

The gap is already too much for them to meet up. Even if they get back to top form it will be difficult to reach Barcelona and Real Madrid because Barca and Madrid will not keep waiting and losing matches so am the points will keep extending. The race is now tight with just one point difference so Barcelona and Madrid will not want to drop any points now so the other team don't run away.

You are saying almost same thing as my taughts, that dependency on Mbappe has to stop but then can be taken advantage of too, almost everyone now see it that Madrid has got a very huge dependency on Mbappe, they can stop that already while others still think they are in that and use other players or give them the chance to score goals and get the team the results they desire and the win the trophy together in their name.

It's good to have a player to rely on but not the way Real Madrid players rely on Mbappe. When you have a player like Mbappe it's difficult not to depend on them but that doesn't mean other players will not participate. Winning games and team's performance should be a collective effort and not just a one man thing. If they can stop relying on Mbappe and start helping him I think they will be unstoppable because they have the quality to become unstoppable.

[Agbamoni]

Real Madrid winning Valencia without Vini, Rodrygo and Bellingham shows that they can play well and win a trophy if they are serious, in the first half of the game Vallencia look good and play like a team that want to win or end the game draw but in the second half Real Madrid prove that they are the best team in the world, they win the game to make sure they keep chasing Barcelona and i like the way they win the match and prove that they are still in the title race.

Real Madrid next game is against Real Sociedad, Real sociedad is having a good performance and they have not lost in their last 6 games, Real Madrid can only win the game with home advantage and with the opportunity of having Vini with some of the players back in the squad, Real Madrid will make sure they win the game because Barcelona will win their next game against Girona.

They make such conclusion. If Real Madrid players have this mentality, they are delusional. Because they won Valencia with most of their good player absent don't mean they are ready. Football is one game at a time, they won today, their next opponent may come with a different formation and tactics against them, where things may not work out for Madrid.

Every game is as important as the next and the previous. Treat it with caution and leave no room for lapses. This should be the mentality of the players.

[AGogi2003]

Atletico Madrid will also be busy in the knockout stages, if you mean the playoffs. So they have no chance to close the gap if they have to take advantage of that schedule. The only way is to improve their performance, which actually showed improvement a few weeks ago, but for some reason, they've been stuck in inconsistency again, perhaps Simeone has run out of tactics.
Well, in the knockout stages, the one who benefits the most is Barcelona, ​​because they have time to focus on La Liga while their rivals are busy fighting for a ticket to the Champions League round of 16.

Atletico madrid have make mistakes since from the first start of the season so have already removed mind that Atletico Madrid will get the chance to win the league competition they will just try and finish in top 4 in the league table so that they can get the opportunity to qualify for the champions league next season.

Since Real Madrid have give a lot of gaps in the league table they should just forget about the trophy this season because nothing they can achieve this season, because even the champions league competition I don’t really show they can go far in the knockout stage they will be eliminated easily but since they get a new player lookman I think they will be more stronger then before, let see if they can get something to achieve this time around.

Despite Real Madrid closing the points gap with Barcelona, I don't see them lifting the La Liga trophy because currently Barcelona is the best team in La Liga and considered the favorite to win the La Liga trophy honestly I don't have doubt about this. Real Madrid next game is against Real Sociedad but will they win Real Sociedad? Real Sociedad has remained undefeated in their last six matches and will like to maintain that streak against Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid is the favourites and and their performance has been improving, but we'll see if they can overcome Sociedad.

It true that Barcelona may be leading Madrid in the laliga table but that doesn't means that they can't bounce back. As far as am concerned the title race is still open to either Barcelona or Madrid to win looking at the points gap only one points separate these two teams and this is just week 23 in the Laliga fixture so you shou not be too comfortable saying that madrid may not win the the league despite their recent performance that has been impressive.


I have to give kudos to the Madrid players from the way that, they have been able to play after the departure of their former Manager Alonso, because it's not always easy wit a team when ever there is a change in management of a team. But we did not experience that with Madrid as the players adopted well to the new coach and his tactics.
