La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[abhiseshakana]

Tonight Athletic Bilbao will compete against Elche in the 25th round of La Liga. Bilbao will host this upcoming match, where it will be held in a few hours. So far Athletic Bilbao's performance has been quite far ahead of Elche, where they have managed to collect 31 points while Elche only has 25 points. However Elche's position so close to the relegation zone makes me confident that they won't let their team falter in the upcoming matches. So I personally believe that Elche will fight very hard not to lose this match. I predict that Elche will try to get full points or at least get point with a draw. I will try my luck by betting on Double Chance by choosing Draw or Elche in this match. The odds available are also quite attractive to bet on. What are your thoughts?

I think it's quite risky to bet for Elche because their performance has been quite poor and there seem to be no signs that they will improve. They did get a draw in their last game,  but that was when Elche played at home, and in the three games before that, Elche had always lost. Meanwhile, Athletic seems to have better results,  as they have won their last two matches. I guess Bilbao will probably win this match because their performance has been  better than Elche's in recent times and Bilbao also has the advantage of playing at home in this match.

Barcelona can still prove themselves with their attacking performance, they are strong, so Barcelona still has enough chances to occupy the bottom of the table in points. Real Madrid has a chance Real Madrid's performance is not very good, this season Real Madrid has performed very badly, so it is very easy for Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid has only a small point gap with Barcelona, so Barcelona needs to win two to three games in a row to occupy the top of the table.

Barcelona are still strong they still have a chance to defend the title against real madrid. It is not game over yet for them and real madrid shouldn't be relax because they are at the top of the table. Real madrid is only leading by two points in the standings barcelona are still left with many chances to take the lead back although it wouldn't be easy but if the opportunity present itself barcelona will certainly take their chance.

Surely.. There are still many chances for Barcelona. Real Madrid is only 2 points ahead but there are many more matches left in the tournament. Barcelona is definitely a much stronger team than Real Madrid. Real Madrid might go further ahead because they are the favourites against Osasuna tomorrow. Barcelona has fallen a bit behind but I think it is a lesson learned because consecutive wins give players the confidence to win the next match. Overconfidence in players leads to defeats. I believe Barcelona will come back with full strength and win the trophy.

And speaking of Real Madrid, they are currently quite consistent in their performance, and their win against Benfica clearly had a positive impact on them. But honestly,, even with a one-goal difference, Real Madrid can't be completely calm right now. Because in the second leg, Benfica could be even more aggressive, as they did in the previous match. Therefore,, Real Madrid must remain calm and not underestimate Benfica. Because this is a very decisive match for them.

I also agree with what you said previously, i understand that this team is clearly stronger than Barcelona, but certainly underestimating the opponent is never a good thing, Barcelona is a solid team but has some shortcomings in defense, now they must go straight and win to try to overtake Real Madrid hoping for some of their mistakes

[Volgastallion]

Real Madrid is not reliable, i dont know what are you all talking about i know they at least gain again some regularity but they win and nothing more, i know before they lose some no sense games or drop points and now that is not happening under Arbeloa management, but i dont see them as solid they are just one big lose away to be again in hell.

[Different patterns]

Real Madrid is currently starting to return to its best form after its players recovered from injuries. Trent Alexander Arnold has recovered from his injury, as is Rudiger who is 100% fit. In my opinion, no one can beat Real Madrid in La Liga. Previously, when they met Barcelona in the El Clasico match for the Spanish Super Cup, many Real Madrid players were injured and absent due to accumulated cards, but now they have returned to their best form. This is very good for their morale in winning the La Liga title and the European Champions League. Moreover if rumors say that Florentino Perez will bring in Pedri from Barcelona and Dominik Szoboszlai from Liverpool, of course if they strengthen the midfield. Real Madrid will be unstoppable this season.

After few poor results, now Real Madrid is having impressive run of wins while their winning against Benfica is going to be big booster for them because they were ruined by them few weeks back but now having good comeback, upcoming 2 games are going to be challenging, but their overall performance is back on track.

Injuries are always big problem for them because they have enough sources still things are not easy to manageable for them and due to injuries, Florentino Perez always got things on priority if he is going to work on midfield, it' will provide big impact on them and their chances are going to be increasing for staying at top in upcoming season as well, because now players are having good improvement, and they are working hard for staying at top ranks due to their consistency.

This is the type of consistency a big team like Real Madrid should keep even though I believe this is still not their maximum potential but at least they have been able to manage themselves and produce some level of positive results recently and that alone is commendable, I will personally expect more consistent positive results from the team this season.

Real Madrid team could not perform well in the past few months, Real Madrid team is not the old performing team yet. So if Barcelona team can perform well then they will definitely be able to remove Real Madrid team from the first place of the point table because Real Madrid team has occupied the first place of the point table simultaneously. If Barcelona team can correct itself naturally then they will be able to earn full points in the next game.

[giorgione]

I think it's quite important to realize that we are not seeing these things be a lot better, so we have to give it a break and learn to be a lot better and not be inconsistent. These teams need to learn to be good at a level where they can win a few games in a row. Otherwise, when one is winning, the other loses, and they take turns and that is not good for them at all.

These uncertainties exist and there are many of them, also characterised by an up and down phase of these teams, the championship is no longer what it seems, these teams are doing interesting things, including these latest results which are excellent, now it is only a matter of time before we see the domination of a single team and i think that between the two it is precisely Real Madrid.

[1kodumtek7]

The title contenders have quite easy matches on paper at the weekend:

• Osasuna - Real Madrid
• Barcelona - Levante

Both favourites shouldn't have big issues with winning normally, right? The Girona match was also like that but Barcelona lost it. Levante are a way weaker team than Girona. I think a solid make up for it by Barcelona like a win by a big score gap.

Osasuna haven't lost in the league for 5 weeks. However Real Madrid have also won 8 times in a row! Maybe Arbeloa might prefer a rotation because of the rematch against Benfica in a few days. But I would still expect a win against Osasuna...

[m4r1o]

Why it does not only say for Barcelona alone is that we don't no if the same thing will befall on real Madrid because if Barcelona possibility of not wining all, Real Madrid will also see the possibility of an incomplete point but however the club that would have more losing between them are the one that would watch how the trophy would be giving to other. In premier League we can be more sure now as Real Madrid is in now but in La Liga is very difficult and we cannot see it because of this two clubs. If not for Girona Barcelona would have been how they are in partial confident of a point above.

Real Madrid is a team that we know never gives up, and this is a peculiarity of these teams, that never give up and never take each other for granted, now these players are doing the dirty work that allows them to stay in action and then have the possibility of climbing the table.

But the most important thing is that the win is enough even though there was no impressive match with a rain of goals, I think that is not the most important problem for us is a real win that brings Real Madrid back to the top of the standings, as well as in the Champions League, they must immediately get out of this qualifying round to continue to a more serious round, Arbeloa does not have much experience, especially handling a big team is an opportunity for him at Real Madrid, so some adjustments at the beginning of his leadership are very normal, my friend.

Real Madrid have been proving themselves time and time again, they are currently at the top of the points table with their aggressive performances. Vinicius Junior, Garcia, Rodrigo and Mbappe all strengthen the attacking department. Real Madrid have been poor in the past due to their poor performance in the attacking department and they have gradually overcome this, which is a real proof of their ability to beat Barcelona.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Surely.. There are still many chances for Barcelona. Real Madrid is only 2 points ahead but there are many more matches left in the tournament. Barcelona is definitely a much stronger team than Real Madrid. Real Madrid might go further ahead because they are the favourites against Osasuna tomorrow. Barcelona has fallen a bit behind but I think it is a lesson learned because consecutive wins give players the confidence to win the next match. Overconfidence in players leads to defeats. I believe Barcelona will come back with full strength and win the trophy.

The chances are still 50:50 as they are only separated by 2 points, anything can still happen as there are still so many games left to play. Barcelona must further improve the quality of their game if they want to return to the top of the standings. The defeat to Girona should be a valuable lesson because every mistake can have fatal consequences for them.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid is in high confidence after achieving 8 consecutive wins in La Liga. The game against Osasuna shouldn't be too difficult for Real Madrid, but they should also be more alert because Osasuna is unbeaten in their last 5 games in La Liga. Real Madrid must also reflect on Barcelona's result at Girona. They must not underestimate their opponents if they want to maintain their position at the top of the standings.

I think it's quite risky to bet for Elche because their performance has been quite poor and there seem to be no signs that they will improve. They did get a draw in their last game,  but that was when Elche played at home, and in the three games before that, Elche had always lost. Meanwhile, Athletic seems to have better results,  as they have won their last two matches. I guess Bilbao will probably win this match because their performance has been  better than Elche's in recent times and Bilbao also has the advantage of playing at home in this match.

Athletic bilbao's performance is inconsistent but the team is strong. They have  even played well in the last few matches. On the other hand, clche's performance is weak. It is difficult to remember the last time this team won a match. Athletic club is the favorite in this match , there is no doubt about it. But sometimes  teams that are close to the relegation zone surprise everyone by performing well. Elche is trying  to avoid the relegation zone. But if Athletic club's players are confident, it will not be a difficult task for them to win this match. I bet  on Athletic club to win.

And speaking of Real Madrid, they are currently quite consistent in their performance, and their win against Benfica clearly had a positive impact on them. But honestly,, even with a one-goal difference, Real Madrid can't be completely calm right now. Because in the second leg, Benfica could be even more aggressive, as they did in the previous match. Therefore,, Real Madrid must remain calm and not underestimate Benfica. Because this is a very decisive match for them.

I agree with you @banana33. Although I am a barcelona fan. But I will also say that Madrid's squad is stronger than Barcelona's. But the opponent should never be underestimated. Madrid's squad was very strong last season as well. But even then they lost all  4 matches against Barcelona. Barcelona is the la liga champion but Madrid can not win any title. Madrid's squad is strong this season as well. But there is nothing surprising if Madrid does not win any titles this time. Winning titles requires stability and  consistency in performance. The team whose  overall performance is consistent till the end of the season will be the la liga champions.

[verdinio]

It's just similar to how Arsenal slowly lose points and let Manchester City come so close to them.
Real Madrid were not doing so well but later managed to maintain a fair performance by winning games even by the smallest of margins and it was enough to keep them in the race. The started gaining more hope when Barcelona began to drop unnecessary points to unexpected teams and that's how they were able to come so close.

It's always interesting to see a race so tight as this. Real Madrid are looking stronger and stronger but Barcelona still doesn't seem to know how to stop conceding goals, the way they concede against smaller teams is getting out of control and that's why they are not able to control games. Smaller teams when given room too much gets them motivated and becomes a problem. Real Madrid doesn't look a team that will lose carelessly again.

These teams are very similar and they know very well that the work that has to be done is practically the same, they are two teams that are doing the same thing in the league, clearly these teams also excel in the Champions League and that's why they then resort to each other because they are very strong there too.

[Antotena]

Real Madrid is not reliable, i dont know what are you all talking about i know they at least gain again some regularity but they win and nothing more, i know before they lose some no sense games or drop points and now that is not happening under Arbeloa management, but i dont see them as solid they are just one big lose away to be again in hell.

I also agree with you, Real Madrid influence is the new coach. If they can't get better under the influence of Xabi, what they are doing now is control damage with new coach after many criticized the players behavior for been disrespectful to their coach and didn't put their body together to do well for the club. Don't be surprised the coach is trying to make him do everything that's why the team are doing everything possible to be in good place, their defense still looks bad like it was that time.

I miss the days Mendy and Rudiger alone can handle the back line and camavinga will play defensive midfield with Anceloti asking, now we are experiencing new era of Mbape and Vinicious. I don't like that combo. I still miss when Benzema and Vinicious combo was one of the greatest formation ever found by Anceloti and this was without effort. Hopefully Barcelona doesn't wake up now, I still feel they will come back and take their rightful place.

[ITExpert]

We may continue to see the competition go down to the final weeks, but I am very confident that by the end of the season, Madrid will be at the top of the table.

From statistics Real Madrid has been slightly more consistent than Barcelona, but the difference is not that great.
Both played decent games and bad-looking games, perhaps Barcelona played more than Real Madrid did bad-looking games.
Real Madrid are currently at the top of the table with a 2-point lead, and if they can secure victory in their next matches, they could truly finish the season as league leaders.

For this reason, now there will be a difference of 1 or 2 points between them and the games will be played with a lot of struggle until the end and if one of the two plays badly in the game with a mistake, the other team will get the benefit of it and it will strengthen itself at the top. Real Madrid victory this game by scoring 1 goal and put itself at the top and put Barcelona down and now Barcelona victory its next game then it will be at the top otherwise Real Madrid will take advantage of it and victory the next game too. That is why there is not much difference between Barcelona and them. If both of them have played the same game owing to which both of them are at the same level now if either of them wants to be successful then they will have to win every game.

I love risk and they say that those who don't risk never get anything.
Very true that it is a "predictable" match on Bilbao's victory, but it is also true that the odds are tempting, furthermore in football we know very well that unexpected events and twists can occur.
I'm playing it with a quota at 5.00 I want to risk it.
If you're interested in these are the quotas:
Bet365.it 1.70 3.80 5.00
AdmiralBet 1.68 3.80 4.90
Lottomatica 1.68 3.75 5.10

Yes, it is true that Los Blancos are a bit more consistent than Barcelona in terms of statistics, but we can see that the difference is not that great. This is undoubtedly correct Barca have played worse games than Real Madrid, as they already have a total of four defeats on their list. Even after their helpless surrender in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, their winning streak has faded, as they had no chance of securing a victory in the round of 24 against an underrated team like Girona. Real Madrid are now 2 points ahead of the Blaugrana due to the lack of a win in this game, so I think the Spanish giants, led by Arbeloa, will finish the season as the top team.

Arbeloa is doing better than I expected. We criticize arbeloa because madrid's overall performance is not stable. But since Arbeloa became manager, Madrid has won every la liga match. Although they lost to Benfica in the group stage of the champions league, Madrid won the away match of the play-offs. But it can not be denied that Madrid's overall performance is  still not stable. And we can see a decline in madrid's performance at any time. But arbeloa is able to do a good enough job.
