La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Emitdama]

I don’t think things are as bad as you’re describing. Keep in mind that Atlético Madrid are playing in the Champions League tomorrow against Brugge. It’s quite clear that in La Liga Atlético are unlikely to achieve much more than securing a Champions League spot, which is already practically guaranteed for them. So I’m almost certain that Diego Simeone is sacrificing this league match in favor of the Champions League fixture. In my opinion, that’s obvious.

Moreover, with their win over Barcelona in the Cup, they have almost secured a place in the final. So this looks more like a strategic move from Simeone rather than a sign that everything is going wrong.

You have solid point about Atlético Madrid lost because currently they are having three competitions La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions league, it's never been easy to have same level performance in all competitions just because of this, they are facing problems in La Liga where top four is always under their control.

Next two weeks they are having 2 Champions league games with Copa del Rey, 2nd leg game against Barcelona and two La Liga games, it's surely going to be having pressure which having impact on player's performance, they fail to keep rhythm and their performance is also not balanced. I am not sure that their place is secured after having win at home against Barcelona.

• Girona vs Barcelona

Based on h2h, both teams have always scored and the matches usually average over 3.5 goals, and they’ve never ended in a draw. I did think for a moment that maybe this game could bring a surprise result, and a draw might happen. But logically, that seems very unlikely because Barcelona are highly motivated to overtake Madrid, who are currently sitting at the top of the table.
Based on their past meetings, betting on over 3.5 goals or BTTS (Yes) looks like a solid option. But since I’m not a Barcelona fan, I’ll take the risk and go with BTTS (No) or under 4 goals instead.

First of all I don't think i would take their head to head seriously even though it's important but girona are not really in the same form as they used to be, they might not really score up to three goals but based on barcelona's recent performance they are definitely going to use this game a way to make up for the game they lost previously. The best option here is Barcelona to win in full time or either half.

Barcelona will win this game but to win this bet before the match ends, it is better to bet on Barcelona to score 2goals because Barcelona will likely score 2 or more goals in that match, another good options is Barcelona win and over1.5 that is if you want the odd to swell a bit, head to head keep failing these days, I think team form is what matters this time and we can not compare Barcelona form to that of their opponent, I will not fail to say that in football, no team should be underrated, the team team that is been talked down might spark up some surprises too, however, Barcelona is the favourite in this match.

The match is important for Barcelona. They must win this match to regain the top spot in the  table. Barcelona is currently 2  points behind madrid.

Girona's defense is weak and they are not in good form. Barcelona will  have to make good use of this opportunity. But if girona scores the first goal of the match, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win. Although barcelona is a strong squad, they have a record of dropping points against  relatively weak teams. They also  lost against real sociedad a few days ago.

Yes, Barcelona is expected to win the match because they real need the three points to claimed that their first on table back,so with that I believe that Barcelon will try to do everything to possible to win the match and have the three points.infact Girona are not in their best form this season,so I don't expected surprise result from Girona, because I don't think they are capable of doing any this surprise against Barcelona today with their current form,the only advantage I think Girona a may have to appear like bit stronger because they will be playing in their home ground as they will be in a serious of fans motivation.but still have have strong confidence that Barcelon will win the upcoming match,it even possible Barcelona may play this match as a revenge despite it is not Girona that beat they 4-0,so what have against Atletico Madrid may make Barcelona play this match as revenge.

[Catenaccio]

The match is important for Barcelona. They must win this match to regain the top spot in the  table. Barcelona is currently 2  points behind madrid.

But if girona scores the first goal of the match, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win. Although barcelona is a strong squad, they have a record of dropping points against  relatively weak teams. They also  lost against real sociedad a few days ago.

Girona are no longer as strong as they were three seasons ago and they are weak in the past season and this season too. Barcelona truly have to play this match with big pressure after Real Madrid played first and won their match. With 2 points less than Real Madrid temporarily, Barcelona must beat Girona for taking a first position back from Real Madrid, and in a tight title competition between two giants, Barcelona and Real Madrid, any mistake and lost points can be decisive for a title competition result. Especially after this match, there will be only 13 more matches for each club, and with big and strong clubs like them, it's still possible to have a long winning streak.

Barcelona in this season no longer have a world class striker who can score many goals for them as Ferran Torres with 12 goals is their best goal scorer in La Liga, while it looks like nothing in comparison with 23 goals scored by Mbappe for Real Madrid. Lewandowski is no longer young and has worse scoring rate for Barcelona but they still manage to win matches without best Lewy.

Well this is game that can crack you up especially for we the gamblers, in as much as girona have a weak defense you can also say that about Barcelona too, it normal to see Barcelona concede in games especially when they are playing at home, for me I gambled on goals in this game, I gambled on 4 or more goals to be scored, there is no much game to gamble on today so I involve a bit a risk in this one .

It a game Barcelona need, especially have that emulation in that copa de rey semi final to Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid are currently top of the table and only a win will put Barcelona back on the table, so they will be playing for the win but I feel girona will get at least a goal in this game and that why I gambled on goals rather than a win in this game.

I don’t have much game on my slip and I really hope this can come through for me so I can have a very good amount to gamble on in the champions league games tomorrow.

What else did Atletico do? against the 17th ranked team they were destroyed 3-0 without reply, who would have expected it because they should be able to easily beat Rayo or at least a bad result is a draw.
Already Simeone should be considered for immediate replacement, I also feel not optimistic if you see this result, there is a possibility that Barcelona can pursue 4 goals on aggregate in the Copa Del Rey semi-final.

The result of the match was very disappointing. I didn't watch the match thinking that maybe Atlético Madrid would win the match very easily and with a good goal difference. But later when I saw the result of the match I was very surprised and worried about what happened in the match. Atlético  Madrid was not able to attack much and Rayo was able to break their defense very easily. Rayo's goalkeeper made some great saves. Maybe Atlético Madrid's players took this match very lightly, that's why they had to face such a result.

I was surprised by this result, on the other hand everyone was amazed by Atlético Madrid performance in destroying Barcelona but a few days later was shocked that they lost to Rayo. It was as if Simeone deliberately allowed the players not to spend their energy because they realized their position in the standings was not too bad. While Rayo played to the maximum because if they did not win 3 points their position was threatened in the standings.

In my opinion, this is the face of Atletico Madrid's inconsistency. They crushed Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg of the Copa del Rey, then lost 3-0 to bottom-placed Rayo Vallecano. This is a classic Atletico Madrid problem they perform well against big teams, but are vulnerable against smaller opponents.

I attribute this defeat to the coach rotation, as many of their key players were rested against Barca in order to still qualify for the Copa del Rey final. I suspect Atletico Madrid wants to focus on the Copa del Rey, as they haven't been able to compete in La Liga. And one more thing Don't be surprised by Atletico, as their focus can't be divided they're solely focused on beating the big teams. Furthermore, they can't focus on multiple competitions, so right now they're solely focused on winning the Copa del Rey.

I don’t think things are as bad as you’re describing. Keep in mind that Atlético Madrid are playing in the Champions League tomorrow against Brugge.

I am not sure that their place is secured after having win at home against Barcelona.

But left with me i think playing in this three different competitions are nor really big deal to me because if they think they can't handle it all they'd play to be evicted from maybe two out of the three but in this case they think they can handle it all that's why they still maintain to be in those competitions so lost or win doesn't mean it's because of the excess of work, after all we have teams that are treble winners so if those teams can do it what make you guys think ATM can't do it? So to me win or lose depends on their current performance in that particular game they can't be bad in performance and you expect them to win then after they lost you blame it or much games they have to play.

[silpersurfer]

Is impossible to predict, is impossible to know what they are gonna do in the next match, i really give up with them. What they have in their heads?

Im talking about Atletico Madrid and how they can manage to win 5-0 to Betis at midweek and losing against the same team 1-0 in the weekend, and how you can beat 4-0 BARCELONA and lose 3-0 against Rayo? HOW?

Maybe it was intentional or they were too tired from the match in the Copa Del Rey, while Rayo was in a very fit condition with the few matches they had played, of course they had much more freedom to compete in a very fit condition while Atletico was their remaining energy to chase victory in the Copa Del Rey.

Barcelona will face a tough away game against Girona. Girona is a team that plays good football at home, and it wouldn't be a surprise if Barcelona dropped points today. I watched Barcelona in the Atletico Madrid match and didn't like it at all. If they play similarly today, I think Girona will win. Barcelona could lose their lead today.

For now, I think Girona is less scary than the past two seasons. For now, Barcelona will definitely win well, unless they experience something bad after the previous defeat to Atletico Madrid, but I'm pretty sure it's worth it to maintain the top position in the standings.

[Creeper0]

Girona are no longer as strong as they were three seasons ago and they are weak in the past season and this season too.

Lewandowski is no longer young and has worse scoring rate for Barcelona but they still manage to win matches without best Lewy.

Barcelona have no choice but to win if they want to keep their dream of winning the title alive and to keep their path to the title easy. Girona is no longer a strong team, but this is a cause for concern for Barcelona. They played well against big teams, but they have a history of failure against small teams. Even after their big defeat against Atletico Madrid, their confidence may have changed a bit. We see an easy match for Barcelona against Girona, now we have to wait for the final result.

The kind of club Barcelona is and the way they play, it is natural for a single player to have fewer goals. Just like everyone scores goals in Barcelona, ​​in Real Madrid only Mbappe's goals can be seen. Team achievements are more important than individual achievements, Barcelona is ahead in that aspect now.

[Cryptmuster]

Barcelona will win this game but to win this bet before the match ends, it is better to bet on Barcelona to score 2goals because Barcelona will likely score 2 or more goals in that match, another good options is Barcelona win and over1.5 that is if you want the odd to swell a bit, head to head keep failing these days, I think team form is what matters this time and we can not compare Barcelona form to that of their opponent, I will not fail to say that in football, no team should be underrated, the team team that is been talked down might spark up some surprises too, however, Barcelona is the favourite in this match.

Barcelona will almost always be considered the favorite against nearly any opponent. But I agree with you that in today’s match Girona are clearly a level below Barcelona, their defense this season has also been much weaker, so it’s reasonable to expect that Barcelona, who average nearly three goals per game, should be able to score at least twice against Girona. On the one hand, it’s a home match for Girona, and they’re not that far from the relegation zone, but Barcelona firstly, need a win to move above Real Madrid, and secondly they need it to prove that their defeat against Atletico in the Cup was just a one-off result.

Thay may not be as strong, but they have not been as terrible either this season, Remember they do not have to be so strong to be mindful of, recently we saw what happened with Atletico Madrid, that I think was far from a normal expectation but then it happened, Real Madrid too has got one of the best striker in the world yet they suffered some defeat at a time, I am not wishing Barcelona ill but I am only being conscious of the chances around the game.

[Webutxo]

You have solid point about Atlético Madrid lost because currently they are having three competitions La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions league, it's never been easy to have same level performance in all competitions just because of this, they are facing problems in La Liga where top four is always under their control.

Next two weeks they are having 2 Champions league games with Copa del Rey, 2nd leg game against Barcelona and two La Liga games, it's surely going to be having pressure which having impact on player's performance, they fail to keep rhythm and their performance is also not balanced. I am not sure that their place is secured after having win at home against Barcelona.

Don't make it like everything is about Atletico Madrid. We have other teams that are in the Champions League and other tournaments and are doing well to stabilize their place in the domestic leagues all together. Let's admit that Atletico Madrid is not stable and are not consistent with their respective result. It will take effort of another manager to be able to give what the club is looking for, to me Simeone doesn't have anything unique to give this club again.

They said anything is possible in football but I will admit that there is absolutely nothing Atletico can bring to the table this season. Vallecay shame them yesterday after we witness their success against Barcelona. That means that the only time you are going to witness Atletico success is when they meet team that are strong on the table, they unleash all their effort on them, why not do the same for other teams so they can advance on the table.

[khiholangkang]

and I'm very sure they can't win Atletico Madrid in the second leg and even if they should win they will not score more than 2 goals, so Atletico Madrid will surely qualify for the final, Barcelona should focus on champions league and La liga.

Atletico Madrid is working hard, but the championship issue is a bit difficult for them, i think they have a lot of work to do, but they also need to know and be aware that they have a team that can cause panic and can still win even against the best teams in the league and the victory against Barcelona was proof of this.

4 goals is too much for Barcelona to pay in the second leg so it is very possible for Atletico to enter the final round, even if Atletico in the second half can only maintain the match with a draw or Barcelona can only score two goals or even 3 goals they will not be able to get through, especially if Atletico can reply to a goal in the second leg, this will be a difficult match for Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey, they have too many goals to chase, it looks like they will also win because the enemy they will face in the final is between Real Sociedad and Bilbao, which I think Atletico will be able to beat.

[Franctoshi]

This game is a crucial and a must win match for FC Barcelona tonight regardless of wether Girona are level below Barcelona or not, because not winning this match means they've successfully given Real the chance to lead the league table, as currently they're 2 points behind Madrid with 23 games played so far whereas Madrid has played their 24th game for the season, A winning will give them back 1 point lead in the La Liga table.

Thay may not be as strong, but they have not been as terrible either this season, Remember they do not have to be so strong to be mindful of, recently we saw what happened with Atletico Madrid, that I think was far from a normal expectation but then it happened, Real Madrid too has got one of the best striker in the world yet they suffered some defeat at a time, I am not wishing Barcelona ill but I am only being conscious of the chances around the game.

I don't know any good reason to expect Barcelona to lose to Girona today, unless you're a Real Madrid fan. Barcelona will be coming with their best squad to win all 3 points and secure top spot from Real Madrid, but some concerns after the Copa del Rey defeat are understandable, but this is a match that will be very important to win. There's no reason to accept defeat today if the players perform well, especially since Barcelona's chances of winning this away game are very high.

I hope Barcelona doesn't let Real Madrid lead the La Liga table for much longer and today they have to take it back. However, there is one issue that is worrying about this match, I mean Barcelona has a weakness in the defensive area if we review how fragile they are in the transition from attack to defense.

[Ruttoshi]

I attribute this defeat to the coach rotation, as many of their key players were rested against Barca in order to still qualify for the Copa del Rey final. I suspect Atletico Madrid wants to focus on the Copa del Rey, as they haven't been able to compete in La Liga. And one more thing Don't be surprised by Atletico, as their focus can't be divided they're solely focused on beating the big teams. Furthermore, they can't focus on multiple competitions, so right now they're solely focused on winning the Copa del Rey.

Yea, I think that's the plan to focus on winning Copa del Rey because it's possible for Simeone to win the competition than Laliga. Not winning any trophy will be the worse. Since, Laliga is mainly for only Real Madrid and Barcelona, Simeone needs to see how he can win Copa de Rey.

He is resting his players because he knows that no matter how hard he tries he has already lost in Laliga title race. No need to worry over spilled milk. I support him to this.

[letteredhub]

Girona's defense is weak and they are not in good form. Barcelona will  have to make good use of this opportunity. But if girona scores the first goal of the match, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win. Although barcelona is a strong squad, they have a record of dropping points against  relatively weak teams. They also  lost against real sociedad a few days ago.

This should be a win for Barcelona which I have no doubt about especially after that awful experience with Atletico Madrid which dragged them down from the top spot. Hansi Flick would be playing a solid high line in this game while pressing the Girona side to secure a win.

Am predicting Barcelona to win in both halves looking at how weak the side they're meeting are, and it's going to be over 2.5 goals.

[GbitG]

• Girona vs Barcelona

Based on h2h, both teams have always scored and the matches usually average over 3.5 goals, and they’ve never ended in a draw. I did think for a moment that maybe this game could bring a surprise result, and a draw might happen. But logically, that seems very unlikely because Barcelona are highly motivated to overtake Madrid, who are currently sitting at the top of the table.
Based on their past meetings, betting on over 3.5 goals or BTTS (Yes) looks like a solid option. But since I’m not a Barcelona fan, I’ll take the risk and go with BTTS (No) or under 4 goals instead.

First of all I don't think i would take their head to head seriously even though it's important but girona are not really in the same form as they used to be, they might not really score up to three goals but based on barcelona's recent performance they are definitely going to use this game a way to make up for the game they lost previously. The best option here is Barcelona to win in full time or either half.

Well, a few minutes has been remain in the kickoff. Hansi Flick has fully prepared for the battle even his players is also ready to regain the quality because recently they lost against Atlatico Madrid at Copa Del Rey semi final first leg and now it time to come to get back his capacity. I think the rest of match will not be too competitive. Barcelona looks strong although their players has feels little bit sloppy at confidence but anyway still they will manage it easy to get back with strong hand....

Besides that lineup is also come a heads up. Barcelona will try to used a new formation with 4-3-3 holding. Martin and Kounda will be the duo of fullback alongside Cubarsi and Garcia. Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez and De Jong will be the heart of midfield and in attacking only one player (Raphina) will be changed the rest will be same.

Am predicting Barcelona to win in both halves looking at how weak the side they're meeting are, and it's going to be over 2.5 goals.

I agree with you on the fact that Barcelona will trash Girona especially now that Raphinha is going to play the match and another change from there previous lineup is the fact that Gerard Martin is playing as a LB, there is going to be plenty crosses across the left wing and I feel Girona wouldn't get up to 2 goals in this match because Gerard Martin is alot more defensive that Balde, and the holes Balde always creates will be covered.

Barcelona needs this win if they want to go back to the top the table.
