La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[stompix]

Hihi, I can't believe I posted this just one week ago:

I was looking at the odds then checking Valencia and was kind of surprised to find them outside the relegation zone then....I looked at the points:

Now, if all stars aligned   yeah we need some really funny matches happenign but still it would take only two matches for number 10 Alaves to end up in a relegation place and for Rayo Vallecano to go from that spot to number 10.

Yes, I know two teams have one math less but still..

In just two rounds:
- Getafe went from 17 to 10
- Alaves went from 10 to 13
Of course it would be funny to see Rayo actually pulling this with two matches less than Alaves but with games against Betis and Madrid, it's nearly impossible.
Still Getafe pulling this trick with just one more point advantage right after pointing this is a sign I should start betting on these funny movements not just pointing them out.

Real Madrid managed to win comfortably even without Mbappe. I think the penalties were cheap. Real Sociedad players needed to be more careful though. If you give the referee an excuse, he will award an easy penalty like that. Valverde's goal was nice. Apart from the goal Gonzalo scored, he also missed some chances that a normal striker would've finished.

Real Madrid temporarily took the lead, but Barca will take it back 2 days later.

Real Madrid have good show before their big game against Benfica in Lisbon because this game show their balance and also bring them to top of league table which is matters for them, playing without Kylian Mbappé is also good decision because this brings better confidence in players' performance.

In next 6 days, they have two games, firstly against Benfica and then Osasuna, both are looking interesting and need good intention from them, now for title race Real Madrid need to be giving their best and also have to wait for downfall of Barcelona which is looking not easy due to their impressive performance, even now it's always on cards to have big winning for any reputable club.

Tonight Atletico Madrid will face Rayo Vallecano. After Atletico Madrid's victory against Barcelona with a large goal margin in yesterday's Copa Del Rey I'm sure that Atletico is in a state of full confidence to face the next teams they will encounter. Now Atletico Madrid will face Rayo Vallecano who desperately need points to escape the relegation zone. This match is crucial for both teams as they will compete for the full three points. Rayo Vallecano's recent performances have been marked by frequent losses. And the defeats they have suffered have been quite long in several matches. I personally think that Rayo Vallecano is experiencing poor performance or even poor confidence. So I personally believe that Atletico Madrid will dominate this upcoming match or even win it easily just like when they defeated Barcelona.

[Hypnotizer]

Real Madrid won very comfortably tonight, beating Real Sociedad 4–1. They didn’t miss Kylian Mbappé at all and were very effective in front of goal.

Ohh..

I missed watching that game, but that’s a very good one for Real Madrid and I really like how Gonzalo Garcia is playing whenever he’s giving opportunity to, he also got to score a goal last night.

Since Barcelona have one game in hand, Real Madrid are currently top of the table. On Monday, Real Madrid will be hoping that Barcelona lose against Girona, but most likely Barcelona will win and take back the lead.

Barcelona seriously need that win against Girona tomorrow to still maintain their stance at the top of Laliga, and I heard someone saying their lost against Atletico Madrid was because Raphinha wasn’t in the game! I don’t know how true is this but if it is so..then they might  still find it difficult against Girona also since Raphinha wouldn’t probably play the game also.

Atletico Madrid is currently very confident after their big win against Barcelona in their last match, so I think for the upcoming game against Rayo, there is no doubt that Atletico Madrid will do the same and they will make a great effort to win the match, and usually when a team is highly confident they can show their best performance.

Real Madrid secured a very easy victory, but both penalties awarded to Real were very cheap. If the same situation had happened to Real Sociedad, would the referee have awarded such an easy penalty? I highly doubt it.
Sometimes, decisions can vary depending on the team.
Real Sociedad was in good form, but they suffered a 4-1 defeat yesterday. Real won with goals, but they didn't play good football.

Yes, even though Mbappé didn't play, Real Madrid's players played well. Mbappé usually takes the penalty kicks, but in this match, because Mbappé wasn't playing, Vini was able to execute them well, ultimately scoring two goals from the penalty spot. However, it's a shame that Real Sociedad couldn't score many goals in that match, ultimately resulting in a bitter defeat to Real Madrid. Fortunately, Real Sociedad managed to score one goal against Real Madrid through Oyarzabal, although only from a penalty. But in my opinion, Real Madrid deserved to win the match because, of course, even though Mbappé didn't play, Real Madrid has many other star players who will certainly strengthen Real Madrid's strength.

Yes, Real Madrid certainly wants Barcelona to lose to Girona because Real Madrid definitely wants to stay at the top of the standings. I also think Barcelona has a great potential to win the match against Girona and ultimately return to the top of the standings. but of course it doesn't rule out the possibility that the match will end in a draw, but it seems like I will bet on Barcelona winning that match.

The match was colored with 3 penaltys, not only Real Madrid got a penalty from the referee, Real sociedad also got it. The penalty that Real Madrid received was not unfair, it was also caused by a mistake by a Real Sociedad player who appeared to target Vinicius Jr and made him fall if it happened to Real Sociedad of course the referee will give a penalty as well, there are all consequences that must be paid and indeed Real Sociedad is destined to lose. Even Real Madrid almost scored 5 goals in this match but the last 1 goal was canceled because of offside so indeed Real sociedad had to accept this defeat.

Atletico Madrid are performing well this time around, and seeing them play against Rayo Vallecano, we know it looks like a sure win for Atletico Madrid. Even though Vallecano will be the ones playing at home, they are almost in the relegation zone, while Atlético Madrid are one of the top four teams in the league. So, you know it may look very easy for Atletico to win because that game seems like an already counted three points for Atletico Madrid. All they are waiting for is the time of the game, as it is in the evening, so the sun will be a bit lower and they will receive less heat during the match.

Atletico Madrid should be able to easily face Rayo because Atletico Madrid just faced Barcelona which was won by Atletico Madrid so Atletico Madrid should definitely be able to appear more confident when facing Rayo. but sometimes teams in the relegation zone always surprise like in their last match Rayo against Real Madrid there we saw Rayo also able to score goals and the score was narrow. Atletico Madrid and Rayo definitely want 3 points, so we'll see later whether there will be a surprise or not. but I have a feeling that Rayo will be able to score goals but in my opinion the match will still be won by Atletico Madrid. in my opinion lookman will have the potential to score in that match, what do you think? but if Rayo loses in the match, Rayo will definitely have the potential to struggle to recover and could continue to be in the relegation zone.

Real Madrid's players performed quite well in this match,, which is why they were able to score four goals. But what made this match interesting was that Mbappé was not played by Real Madrid, and strangely, Real Madrid's performance improved and looked well-organized. So here I am quite wondering whether Real Madrid should play without Mbappé in every match because every time Mbappé does not play,, Real Madrid's performance improves.

But maybe this could just be a coincidence,, because maybe the opponent is weak, but still, I think we should discuss it. Because in this match, Vini's performance also improved and looked more confident. And besides, it is true that with this victory, Real Madrid is currently at the top of the standings for a while, and I am sure Barcelona will take over the top position again because Barcelona's opponent this time is clearly not too strong. So, that's why Barcelona can definitely get the full three points in this match.

Real Madrid are always winning them, so I was not surprised that Real Madrid had to also win them in the match. It is something I expected and I bet on Real Madrid to win and I won some money, however, I think there’s a conspiracy in the match because one of the penalty was not really a penalty but they gave it to Real Madrid, yes, Real Madrid did not play as I was expecting them to play, they should be better improve if they really want to fight for the La liga trophy this season.
However, congratulation to them for their win yesterday I believe they made a lot of people to win money in gambling just like the way I did.

On paper, Atletico Madrid should have easily defeated Vallecano, as their players are confident after beating Barcelona.  However, Atletico Madrid has been inconsistent, and I still doubt they can easily defeat Vallecano. The reason I doubt them is because Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid decisively, but in their next match against a weaker team, Atletico Madrid lost. That's why I'm not optimistic that Atletico Madrid can easily beat Vallecano, especially since Vallecano desperately needs three points to move away from the relegation zone. Furthermore, Vallecano is playing at home, so they'll be giving their all to get a 3 point against Atletico Madrid.

Where is the injustice in your opinion? Vini was clearly fouled in the penalty box by a Real Sociedad player, the referee's decision was correct to give a penalty here, so I hope you correct your sentence about this, because clearly the referee made the right decision.

Real Sociedad have been good in recent weeks but they have not been able to beat Real Madrid, BTW I really like Valverde's goal outside the penalty area.

barcelona seems like a different team without raphinha. barcelona has lost a few games this season, and they all have one thing in common: raphinha wasn't in the starting lineup for any of them. it's never good for a team to rely on a single player to carry the load. if the team falters without raphinha, opponents may try to injure him or take him out of the game. raphinha is a good player for the team, but the team also needs to know how to manage without him. it's a very interesting statistic that they haven't lost a single game with raphinha. only in the chelsea game did raphinha come on as a substitute, and they lost that game. but chelsea was already leading 2-0 before raphinha came on. it's very impressive that an attacking player can change the balance of the team so much.

Of course. Atletico Madrid are a very confident team at the moment. Their incredible performance in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final has given Atletico Madrid confidence and they will be well ahead to win today's match. The team that took themselves to the third position in La Liga did not start well as they showed impressive performance last season but they have been able to make visible improvements in recent matches. Rayo is literally in a weak position and is in 18th place in the points table. A weak team but they have the ability to win so Atletico Madrid should play their best.

I don’t know how true is this but if it is so..then they might  still find it difficult against Girona also since Raphinha wouldn’t probably play the game also.

Like really? Are you literally saying that Barcelona success now rely on single player? Raphinha is the new Messi in the team now right? I know every player has impact on the team and when they're missing, the gap will be notice but that doesn't mean Barcelona can not perform without having Raphinha on the pitch. Quite alright, he's good and can score at every opportunity but saying his presence could have prevented Barcelona defeat against Athletico Madrid is a total trash.

Has Barcelona never lost a match when Raphinha is featured in? He came to the team not long ago and would probably leave in the future. He's nothing but ordinary player just like others. If Barcelona can not win game without him, then I'm afraid for them seriously. Madrid has just overtaken them to top the table, Barcelona is expected to claim back their position if they win Girona tomorrow.

Of course, Barcelona currently has serious pressure, considering that it has just lost 4-0 to Atletico Madrid in the Copa DelRey despite playing its main squad. plus they have to visit the Girona headquarters. And they certainly pay attention to the temporary standings which are 2 points away from Real Madrid.

Head to Head in the previous five matches for the Barcelona vs Girona match always went more than 2 goals, this will be a match worth looking forward to. Here is the H2H data of the two teams

• Barcelona 2-1 Girona
• Barcelona 4-1 Girona
• Girona 1-4 Barcelona
• Girona 4-2 Barcelona
• Barcelona 2-4 Girona

The statistics of the last games hardly mean anything when you remember how quickly Girona fell from the level of a Champions League team (3rd place in the 23-24 season) to the level of a team fighting for survival. They are now clear underdogs and bookmakers see the upcoming game as follows:

6.40 - 5.10 - 1.38

After the defeat by Atletico, Barcelona might even have increased motivation and win big.

Real Sociedad have been good in recent weeks but they have not been able to beat Real Madrid, BTW I really like Valverde's goal outside the penalty area.

Vini is smart at taking advantage of moments. In my opinion, the right foot of the Atlético player didn't really touch the ball and only slightly caused the possibility of falling. But his left foot, according to me, is what caused the penalty. His left foot seemed to hit Vini's left foot, although slightly slower than Vini's falling response. So, actually, I also somewhat think in my mind that Vini deliberately threw himself down. If Vini wanted, he might not have fallen on the first contact. But indeed, Vini is clever; he managed to take advantage of the moment, and the referee also believed it. 

[MArsland]

I saw a news story about Atletico Bilbao being slapped with a ban on buying new players until 2028. If that's true, then the club has everything to lose, with no new signings for several seasons destroying the pool of available players, not to mention the storm of injuries and expiring contracts. The club's financial policy is so unclear that it raises suspicions.

Does anyone know anything about this?
