La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[alankasman]

Yes,, I also agree that Real Madrid's players performed poorly in that match. If Real Madrid could have performed better,, they would have scored more goals. But we have to understand that Real Madrid's performance is currently lacking. Therefore, their performance is less than optimal. Furthermore, speaking of Real Madrid's upcoming match, I think Real Madrid will likely struggle to win this match,, as Real Sociedad's performance is clearly better than Valencia's.

Of course, their coach has evaluated this in the coming week as they face a better team than Valencia, Real Sociedad. Currently many doubt Real Madrid's performance but they are confident that the team coached by Arbeloa will improve day by day. Although in the first few matches since Arbeloa's arrival their performance has been suboptimal. However against Real Sociedad they will be more aggressive.

However, for Real Madrid this match is crucial because Real Sociedad consistently performs exceptionally well and boasts a well-rounded squad. This is especially true considering their previous match when they defeated Elche convincingly. This victory gives them a solid foundation for their match against Real Madrid the following week at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. They have prepared everything both strategically and mentally for this match.

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...

Yes,, I also agree that Real Madrid's players performed poorly in that match. If Real Madrid could have performed better,, they would have scored more goals. But we have to understand that Real Madrid's performance is currently lacking. Therefore, their performance is less than optimal. Furthermore, speaking of Real Madrid's upcoming match, I think Real Madrid will likely struggle to win this match,, as Real Sociedad's performance is clearly better than Valencia's.

Therefore,, I think Real Madrid's potential to lose this match is quite high. But I think Real Madrid's players will definitely fight harder and won't let themselves lose this match. Because if they lose,, they will certainly be slightly further away from their rivals, Barcelona. Therefore, Real Madrid will definitely try to win this match.

It was normal for Real Madrid to not perform particularly well in this match because they were under pressure as the away team. Valencia also gave their best in this match. In their previous meeting Real Madrid managed to score a large number of goals. But this time Valencia seemed more cautious so as not to concede a large number of goals. Even so Real Madrid still managed to dominate and even win with a result that was satisfactory for them. This result allowed Real Madrid to close in on Barcelona in the standings trailing by just one point. Meanwhile Valencia's position is slightly threatened as they are in 17th place close to the relegation zone. The team most likely to overtake them is Rayo Vallecano which is just one point behind Valencia. I think the upcoming matches will be even more exciting as the next few rounds will bring us closer to the end of the LaLiga season. There are about 14 rounds left to play. I think some teams will intensify their efforts to make major changes so they can deliver the best performance they can. It's truly fascinating at this point.

Playing against Real Sociedad at Bernabéu is also not easy because they are also on good run trying to pick UEFA spot while after this game Benfica the biggest challenges as José Mourinho is man to beat right now important challenge for them if they fail to win their games in UEFA Champions League this could be hurt their moral, and they can also face consequences in La Liga as well Barcelona have 1 point lead this is going to be interested in coming 15 rounds.

It's true, you have to be very careful with Real Sociedad, Oryazabal is literally flying , and Real Sociedad's defense is excellent I'd say Madrid isn't playing great football, but they win, at least in La Liga. But in the Champions League, they have to do whatever it takes to score goals They have to win the way to win is to score goals, Mbappé has to sharpen up and score goals; it's that simple Or, well, the gem that came out of Carreras: one good goal and that's it, he kills the game.

Real Sociedad is indeed not an easy opponent, but Real Madrid is still a slight favorite because they are playing at home and besides that, their big motivation is to stay in the title race with Barcelona, ​​so it is indeed necessary for Real Madrid to win 3 points in the match against Real Sociedad later.

[verdinio]

It is clear that both teams have not been in their best forms this season especially in European competitions, Barcelona is struggling financially with their debt in hand, Even if Madrid has a good form of 8 weeks winning run, they still struggle in their style of play, they tend to rely on Mbappe's individual brilliance, I also know that Mbappe is always dangerous ingoal scoring, a world class player,he is currently the top scorer in Laliga as well as the Champions League, but other world class players like Vini jr, Rodrygo are also good at this.I think they should have their say, Madrid should forget about individual brilliance and use the quality players they have .

Madrid should be recording this  2025/2026 Laliga title as theirs as Barca are having a slack.Barca has  4.5billion euro in debt, they are also having issue in registering their players, this is an opportunity for Madrid to claim the title even after losing the supercopa to their rivals

You can see it from how they are approaching the championship and Europe. i didn't know that Barcelona had this money problem with the club. However, i think that in this part of the championship, Real Madrid is in much better shape than Barcelona, I think. i could be wrong, but for now they seem to be in much better shape.

At least Madrid have gone 5 games undefeated in the laliga race. I think the can extend their streak when they meet Sociedad in the coming days. Madrid aren't completely bad we won't expect a team to win all their games. If it happens then it's luck on their part, the goal is to win the league and with the point difference it's still possible for them to. Sociedad defense might look formidable but i am counting on Madrid's attacking force to penetrate through and get a three points to extend their streak further.

Whoever the opponent is, Real Madrid must still be careful because every point they collect is very valuable to continue to be in the top place so as not to widen the distance with Barcelona, facing anyone cannot be considered easy now sometimes a small team can give unexpected surprises so even though Real Madrid will play at home, they still need to make a hard effort to get 3 points so that Real Madrid still has a chance to win the La Liga title.

Even in UCL, Real Madrid also needs to defeat Benfica and qualify for the round of 16 if Real Madrid fails to beat Benfica, it may destroy Real Madrid reputation in UCL.

[MArsland]

Diego Simeone has mentioned leaving Atletico Madrid this summer after managing this team for fifteen years, and one of the reasons is because he probably doesn't see a future right now with this team. While he has done as good as he can, and even had periods where he took the team to league title, it's clear that no matter how much the team spends, they are far away from Barcelona and Real Madrid levels and it's tough to do better.

He's been coaching Atletico for quite some time, and it's time to hand over the reins to a new, more modern and creative coach. Atletico Madrid needs a coaching upgrade, although it will certainly be difficult for the new manager to adapt, as the players are already accustomed to Simeone guidance. I believe the transition won't be easy, garnering full support from both Atletico fans and management, as Simeone history with the club has been like a unified whole. Simeone has created the club's ego, glory, ambition and identity, and a new coach will certainly find it difficult to reform all of that.

[dollyamo]

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.

In my opinion, Atletico Madrid could afford to do a lot every year, they are always there to do great things, but then they fall apart in the end. i also believe that the team must try to make the most of the players in the team. They are certainly capable of having a great championship, but if they don't believe in it, in the end they won't get beyond third place.

[pewboy]

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.

But imagine, Real Madrid doesn't need to prove anything, they already have everything they need, they just sometimes fail to exploit it.
Real Madrid have had a troubled season, they have played great games and terrible games in a relatively short period.
Just have consistency and contain the sorrows, as you have all noticed, without 3 figures they have shown that they still play well, without fearing anyone.
Real Madrid only need one thing in my opinion, they need to play without too much discussion, making the players work calmly on and off the pitch.

[Adiljutt156]

Villarreal managed to secure a promising win but I noticed that their opponent Espanyol in the 22nd round match was not a difficult team in terms of professionalism but it is certain that the Villarreal team's result was positive in that game. In fact the first half of Espanyol's match yesterday was very disappointing as we saw Salinas score an own goal in the 41st minute, doubling the host's lead.

At the moment we can see that the Spanish teams 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. Anyway, I think the result of last night, i.e. La Liga giants Villarreal's 22nd round result is enough to motivate them for their next match.

Villarreal CF football team played excellent against Espanyol de Barcelona football team because they did back to back goals in this match which was positive point for that team and that team coordination was great in this match. Mikautadze was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 35 minutes when it was need of the team and he gave good start to his team in the first half of the match and we saw second goal by Salinas who did goal at 41 minutes and after that we saw goals in this match . Pépé did third goal of the match and that was good goal for that team and Moleiro did last goal of the match and he did this goal at 55 minutes.

[Frankolala]

In my opinion, Atletico Madrid could afford to do a lot every year, they are always there to do great things, but then they fall apart in the end. i also believe that the team must try to make the most of the players in the team. They are certainly capable of having a great championship, but if they don't believe in it, in the end they won't get beyond third place.

The problem with Atletico is that they're in a league that they will find it difficult to win the title easily because Real Madrid and Barcelona are the strongest clubs in the league. They rotate the title within themselves from season to season making it very difficult for Atletico Madrid to get close to it in recent seasons. The third position is what they deserve.

[giorgione]

Real Madrid and Barcelona chances to win the title are not far from each others. Maybe Barcelona looks fit right now but they have their bad moments. Same goes for Real Madrid. It requires more time to get a clearer view.
For the third and fourth places, they will be shared by Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. Villarreal has an advantage over ATM. The other places might change hands over time.

the championship is still very open and all the possibilities are to be counted and put on the table for the final victory, these two teams are perfectly balanced and in this case the victory of the championship is between the two but i think that Barcelona has a slight advantage over Real Madrid despite everything.

[Gallar]

Diego Simeone has mentioned leaving Atletico Madrid this summer after managing this team for fifteen years, and one of the reasons is because he probably doesn't see a future right now with this team. While he has done as good as he can, and even had periods where he took the team to league title, it's clear that no matter how much the team spends, they are far away from Barcelona and Real Madrid levels and it's tough to do better.

He probably wants to just go to a team where he can finally have some budget that can fight for a title better. This is why I hoped that he would go to Manchester United, but with Carrick doing this great, it seems like that may not be in the plans neither. So I am not sure where he will go next.

I think Simeone's decision is absolutely correct. He no longer seems capable of making Atletico Madrid a great team. He's been with Atletico Madrid for over a decade,, but he hasn't been able to make significant changes to the team, and it's no longer speculation that Simeone's abilities are that great. Therefore, I agree that Simeone should seek experience at another team to further his understanding and coaching skills. Perhaps spending over a decade at Atletico Madrid will only hinder him from seeing other sides of himself. As for which team Simeone might coach after leaving Atletico,, I don't know, but I hope he remains a coach at a major team. It would be a shame if, after leaving Atletico Madrid, Simeone became the coach of a mediocre or not-so-great team.

[cande86]

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.

The race for the title is still long and both Barcelona and Real Madrid can have a great championship, they are there and anything can still happen, i don't think there is a third team that can enter the challenge and this year too it seems to me a challenge between two teams who are also the usual ones who always win.

[m4r1o]

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.

The positive result against Espanyol is a good thing, but not exceptional honestly speaking.
Villareal can't face all the challenges they face with this squad, so i wouldn't see this victory as a positive thing, because if they meet teams with equal or even superior performances, they can't go any further.
The Villareal shows its fangs but at times, not always.
So if he manages to eliminate Atletico Madrid it will all be deserved, although i personally see Atletico Madrid as more aggressive.

[Sarah Azhari]

Playing against Real Sociedad at Bernabéu is also not easy because they are also on good run trying to pick UEFA spot while after this game Benfica the biggest challenges as José Mourinho is man to beat right now important challenge for them if they fail to win their games in UEFA Champions League this could be hurt their moral, and they can also face consequences in La Liga as well Barcelona have 1 point lead this is going to be interested in coming 15 rounds.

It's true, you have to be very careful with Real Sociedad, Oryazabal is literally flying , and Real Sociedad's defense is excellent I'd say Madrid isn't playing great football, but they win, at least in La Liga. But in the Champions League, they have to do whatever it takes to score goals They have to win the way to win is to score goals, Mbappé has to sharpen up and score goals; it's that simple Or, well, the gem that came out of Carreras: one good goal and that's it, he kills the game.

Real Sociedad is indeed not an easy opponent, but Real Madrid is still a slight favorite because they are playing at home and besides that, their big motivation is to stay in the title race with Barcelona, ​​so it is indeed necessary for Real Madrid to win 3 points in the match against Real Sociedad later.

I think Real Madrid will have no trouble beating Real Sociedad, as Real Madrid clearly has the superior squad quality, especially with Mbappé in top form, who will surely score against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid desperately needs a win to close the gap on Barcelona.

[Pandu Geddon]

So if he manages to eliminate Atletico Madrid it will all be deserved, although i personally see Atletico Madrid as more aggressive.

Villarreal and Atletico currently have the same points. Both are in 3rd and 4th place in the standings, which is a good position for a Champions League ticket next season. Perhaps in the next few matches, we can see which team will be stronger between the two. Villarreal and Atletico are still required to improve their performance. After all, neither has been dominant this season. In fact, neither will be part of the competition between Madrid and Barcelona.

[armanda90]

Whoever the opponent is, Real Madrid must still be careful because every point they collect is very valuable to continue to be in the top place so as not to widen the distance with Barcelona, facing anyone cannot be considered easy now sometimes a small team can give unexpected surprises so even though Real Madrid will play at home, they still need to make a hard effort to get 3 points so that Real Madrid still has a chance to win the La Liga title.

Even in UCL, Real Madrid also needs to defeat Benfica and qualify for the round of 16 if Real Madrid fails to beat Benfica, it may destroy Real Madrid reputation in UCL.

Real Madrid must playing well in La Liga whoever the opponent team never underestimate and must getting three points every match avoid has many points left from Barcelona. Recently Madrid have focus not only for La Liga upcoming match against Real Sociedad but also how to get victory when facing Benfica at first leg UEFA Champion League of the playoff round match. Upcoming several matches later, Real Madrid will face dominance with the small teams and its advantage keep getting three points how to make Barcelona get pressure regarding 1 points left for awhile.
Barcelona must focus at Copa del Rey semifinal match will play tomorrow against Atletico Madrid and should be interested match for both teams, indeed Barcelona most favorable for winning the match but must playing well if won't loss opportunity for winning Copa del Rey and possibility with treble winner this season.

[Luzin]

I think Real Madrid will have no trouble beating Real Sociedad, as Real Madrid clearly has the superior squad quality, especially with Mbappé in top form, who will surely score against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid desperately needs a win to close the gap on Barcelona.

Bellingham's injury shouldn't make them weak. There are many substitute players. Guller can also take his place. During the match against Valencia, Guller performed quite well. Arbeloa should be brave enough to play the young players because they have good quality. They just need more playing time. Perhaps Bellingham's injury is a good moment for Guller, who has started to be sidelined since Xabi left Madrid. Arbeloa tends not to trust him much. But the current situation forces him to field him. If Guller can live up to Arbeloa's trust, I think he could become a first-choice player.

[reagansimms]

I think Real Madrid will have no trouble beating Real Sociedad, as Real Madrid clearly has the superior squad quality, especially with Mbappé in top form, who will surely score against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid desperately needs a win to close the gap on Barcelona.

Based on the quality of the teams and their H2H in the last 5 meetings, Real Madrid should have no problem beating Real Sociedad. Real Madrid also desperately needs a win to maintain their rivalry with Barcelona in the title race. Real Madrid only problem lies in their goal-scoring output, Mbappe the only consistent scorer in recent matches.
If Real Sociedad's coach had been more strategic, instructing his players to closely guard Mbappé, they might have taken home a point from the Santiago Bernabéu. I hope Real Madrid don't underestimate Real Sociedad because they are unbeaten in their last 5 matches, they also managed to hold Atletico Madrid to a draw and beat Barcelona.
