La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Iranus]

Xabi Alonso was a coach that i personally liked, now i don't know if they did everything to get rid of him, these players are sneaky sometimes and it also happens that there are some backroom deals to penalize someone, this was my impression, that it was definitely someone's fault within the team

Alonso is a very  talented manager. He led a mediocre team like Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title. They were undefeated the  whole season. He would have been successful with real madrid if he had been given enough time and freedom. But the madrid management did not give him the opportunity to work independently. At the same time, the players did not support him. And  that is why the management finally  decided to sack Alonso. I have never seen the madrid management make such a quick decision  before. Alonso needed to be given enough time.

[Mayor of ogba]

You are right, for now both teams still have the same chance neither of them are in a safe position especially with only one point difference and we can see their chances in the 2-3 matches towards the end of the season. One of the deciding factors may be the El Clasico match on May 11 whoever wins it will be very close to the title, if we look at the schedule, Barcelona has a slight advantage because they are playing at home but yeah it's not a guarantee, anything can happen in a match.

Barcelona has a great advantage: the consolidation of their coach. Things aren't like that at Real Madrid, which could bring them even closer to the league title. Real Madrid's mistake was not looking for an experienced coach. Xabi Alonso is good, but not for Real Madrid Arbeloa is good, but he does what he can. Anclotti was the best, but he didn't receive the support he needed to build the team he truly wanted. Now, Barcelona, ​​in my opinion, isn't that great.

You have just hit the nail on the head. Ancelotti is far better than these two coaches that Real Madrid decided to replace Ancelotti with. Just one season in a bad performance which wasn't his fault. The management was quick to forget all that he has achieved for Real Madrid. They fired him and brought low class coach to coach a high class team. It wouldn't work.

Real Madrid management thought sacking Ancelotti and hiring another coach would solve Real Madrid's problem this season but with the way Real Madrid is struggling to win their matches this season, I think Real Madrid management will be regretting why they even sacked Ancelotti in the first place because if Ancelotti had remained as Real Madrid head coach, Real Madrid would have perform better this season.

Do you have any advice on a possible forecast? Because I'd like to risk it making some "crazy" plays.
Otherwise, I can't predict or think about a possible result. Paradoxically, I'm worried about the match against Villarreal. As simple as it may seem, the twist could change the outcome of the matches and obviously of the Championship.
Is it worth it to bet on Barcelona to win?

Barcelona Vs Villarreal is going to be an easy game to bet on, because at the moment the last time the two clubs meet in December the Barcelona team defeated them in 2 goals to none in their match, the next meeting between Bacelyabd Villarreal is on the 28th of this month and Barcelona is playing home which will put the on a more advantage position ahead of Villarreal team.

Barcelona has home advantage and they would want to increase the gap between them and real Madrid, this game is going to be an opportunity for them to get more points. Villarreal are also a formidable force but they have not really being in good form. Lastly, we have seen situations where the underdogs end up winning the strong team, let's expect anything to happen.

[$weetne$$]

Changing a coach for the sake of one or two match performances is illogical in my opinion, although many people think that Real Madrid is a club where just playing well is not enough, but trophies are their main goal. But can anyone give any guarantee that Real Madrid will win trophies if they change the coach? Even if the coach plays good football, it is not always the right decision to fire or change the coach just because of one season.

Sometimes the best information we get is that a coach was fired due to a particular match performance or the season performances but I believe beyond that there could be other reasons a team may decide to fire a coach, some board do not have that patience to wait several seasons, at every time they have got some sort of expectations and when it seem like those expectations are not met, they make their decision not only because that will guarantee them a trophy but because they have expectations that must be met for them to be sure the team is in safe hands, mind you this is their business, so they know how best to run it.

Villarreal are also a formidable force but they have not really being in good form. Lastly, we have seen situations where the underdogs end up winning the strong team, let's expect anything to happen.

Villarreal is a strong team, no doubt about it. The team is in third place in the points table. But Villarreal is not in a good rhythm now. We have seen their irregular and unstable performance in the last few matches. Although they won against Valencia in the last match, we have not seen a very good performance from them.

This is Barcelona's home match. And now every match is very important for Barcelona. Also, this season, Barcelona was able to secure a 2-0 victory at Villarreal's home. The players will be more confident at Camp Nou. I will bet on Barcelona's victory, no doubt about it. Barcelona will definitely win. If they cannot continue their winning streak, they will not be in possession of the top spot in the table. So Barcelona will give their full effort to win.

Atletico Madrid won finally in the league after losing points 3 weeks in a row. That was a really good win by 4-2 over Espanyol. Their opponent was far away from their good times earlier as well.

As Betis lost points on one hand the gap is 6 points now. I don't expect them to be a big threat to Atletico Madrid for top 4 anytime honestly. They aren't that good to fight them until the end of the season. But it is still a better season for them than the last one.

It's incredible how Atletico Madrid is in such good shape, but i think it's also a result of the new signings who are doing very well. i don't know if it will be enough to do even better than this and go even higher, but i don't think they have the desire to take the leading position anymore, nor the strength to do so.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I really like to see Real Madrid losing not only because this give a lot more of room for a fight in LaLiga but also because i hate how much arrogant are some of their players, not all but some are really impossible to like.

Oh, let me guess the first person on your list is Vinicius Jnr, and possibly Mbappe for his selfishness. The club has been pretty much successful this season, and that shows in how well they manage every single match, to just having lost only 3 times in 25 games.

Aside of that, what a crazy team is Atletico Madrid, one day they cant score a single goal and in the very next game they score like crazy.

I've never known them to be a team that scores plenty of goals afaik. If it's happening now, it's because there's a big improvement. 2 more wins for them and a lose for Villarreal, and their position gets forfeited.

The only reason why they have been doing very well is because of the new players that they signed to the team this players are doing very well, especially lookman who has been scoring in every match since he entered the club. He has been scoring in every match they play and also assisting which is very good for them the other day the coach was saying that lookman needs to improve more. I really don’t understand what he was saying because lookman is doing very well right now except he still wants Lookman to increase in the numbers of goals. He score however in the interview, he said lookman needs to also participate in defending.

[banana33]

If switching several coaches in a year doesn't work then Real Madrid should know the problem is not from them..
Real Madrid has a scoring problem. If we compare them to Barcelona, there is only one point difference in the ranking while the goals forwarded by Barcelona are 13 more than what Real Madrid had scored so far.
Now Real Madrid has to focus on the next round, they have to win and wait for Villarreal to overtake Barcelona if they were lucky.

Changing coaches all the time isn't a solution that ultimately helps. i don't understand why there are players who cant score even if they have an excellent sense of goal and are magnificent attackers. They have a block, and changing the coach won't solve the problem, that's for sure.

Despite some positive change their new strikers has activated to the club but their coach is not yet satisfy about the player performance. I know it will be hard for Atletico Madrid to join the clubs on the top table, because many clubs have used their opportunity well to be among the top clubs many people are looking up to in this laLiga league tournament. I know anything can happen in a football game, but it will be hard for them to do what will convince people to believe that they will win this trophy this season.

This is the evidence of going after potential players which is the results you are seeing around Atletico Madrid now. I know their coach will be regretting for not secure those players on time before the tournament began, and as is stand now they can only prepare better to stand strong to drag next season trophy, because is too late for Atletico Madrid to end up in 3rd position or 4th position.

[Anayochukwu]

To be honest, bettors are not smiling at all because I didn't believe that Real Madrid would lost to Osasuna, I thought they would easily get the three points but it was other way around. Of course Barcelona had to win their game tomorrow to enable them climb in the top position and have more stand for the title because Real Madrid have given them a huge opportunity in the title race, but without any doubt both teams are quite similar in the race so there's still a lot for them to do.

This is the more reasons why you don't expect to win always in gambling as a gambler because you will be disappointed when you see the unexpected results happening in the games. After that performance of Real Madrid in the champions League most people will expect them to record a win today considering their position in the league and what they stand to achieve theore they win but today they have lost and every bettor who picked them as winners have all lost.

Barcelona will stand a chance to go back to the top of the table if you win their game tomorrow but don't be too sure that Barcelona will win because you never know if they will have a repeat of what they suffered against Girona.

Already gambling involves losses than winnings so it's a normal thing that is part of the game. However, I'm not those gamblers that normally gamble to win all the time just that the disappointment was too much for Real Madrid because if I'm not mistaking bettors took the game serious hoping that Real Madrid would put smile on their faces but they couldn't often to stick with it. Barcelona has finally secured the three points against Levante without any mistake and they're now ahead of Real Madrid with one point different.

I have said this many times, the problem is not managerial problem, the problem is the players. Real Madrid don't have what it takes to win the UCL and domestic league. It is annoying to hear football fans blame the problem on the manager. Few key things are lacking in the squad. Soon the club will address them during the summer. When most players will be available to leave their current club. Real Madrid should buy two defensive midfielders, an experience central back as well.

Say that to Real Madrid chairman Florentino Perez.    Because he clearly doesn't care about that. He gave up on Xabi Alonso so easily, for what? To bring Arbeloa who isn't even a manager proven his skills yet.

If they at least brought someone like Zidane, Klopp and so then I would be more okay with that. But this change just doesn't make any sense. Probably Arbeloa will also leave his place to another name if Real Madrid don't win the La Liga or Champions League this year.

Xabi Alonso was a coach that i personally liked, now i don't know if they did everything to get rid of him, these players are sneaky sometimes and it also happens that there are some backroom deals to penalize someone, this was my impression, that it was definitely someone's fault within the team

Alonso is a very  talented manager. He led a mediocre team like Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title. They were undefeated the  whole season. He would have been successful with real madrid if he had been given enough time and freedom. But the madrid management did not give him the opportunity to work independently. At the same time, the players did not support him. And  that is why the management finally  decided to sack Alonso. I have never seen the madrid management make such a quick decision  before. Alonso needed to be given enough time.

For coaching matters I think not only the skills that need to be considered but the compatibility with the club he coaches can also make this a thing that allows him to be successful in his career and I will say that Xabi currently does not have that match so he does not last long.
We know what he's capable of at Leverkusen but it also goes back to the demands of the club and the passage of time doesn't seem to be what Madrid want. It's not that Xabi is bad but Madrid's qualifications, which have to be extra fast and even push to the instant, don't want that.

At the moment they are hardly in a good place with Xabi focused on his career and Madrid focused on their trophy hunt and this is probably best for both and in Xabi's case it is not the first time at a big club as another example comes from a rival where Xavi was quite successful in the Qatari league but failed at Barcelona so careers are not only about the coaching skills but also the fit between the coaches and the clubs and players they coach.

There will be always a problem in a team if the players are not happy with the manager, everyone understand that Real Madrid players were not happy with Xabi Alonso tactics, and the way he was substituting some players. To be honest, Madrid performance wasn’t that bad under him, they only lost two league game. I’m sure that manager which Real Madrid was looking for is the one manager who cannot habe misunderstanding with the players, and maybe Arbeloa is the kind of manager they need.

However, everyone believe that Xabi Alonso is a great manager, but Real Madrid players were not playing at their best under him. Rodrygo lacks a playing time under him, and the team was planing to sell him during that time. We can’t blame the players alone, even Alsonso was also at fault, there are some other things the players dislike about him, and they did everything they can to get him sacked.

And you believed or think once they get these positions you mentioned that Real Madrid will win the champions league and their league? Funny how people are complaining about loss and sometimes I wonder if some people realized that a team can not win all the time no matter how strong they are, this should be seen as a normal thing dude and if they are not playing well do you think they would have been in the second place in their league in fact they were leading some days before the loss. What Real Madrid have now is more than enough to win any trophy if they restrategize.

[Adiljutt156]

League leaders Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Osasuna away from home. The first shot on goal came in the 17th minute; Real Madrid started slowly, as they normally should create danger early against Osasuna. They kept losing possession when Vini got the ball, and subsequently gave away numerous counter-attack opportunities. If it weren't for goalkeeper Courtis, they would have scored many more goals. Captain Valverde single-handedly dismantled the Osasuna defense and provided the assist for the goal Madrid's only goal was not easy to score, it required extra effort.

The overall performance of Osasuna football team was great in this match because they did more goals in this match And opponent team did only 1 goal in this match. The stats of Real Madrid football team was good in this match because their possession percentage was excellent in this match.  The shots of Real Madrid football team were 14 in this match and 5 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 81 percent in this match and their passes were more in number and these were 509 in this match. The shots of Osasuna football team were 14 in this match and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 19 percent in this match and passes of that team were only 344 in this match and they won the match at the end of the match.

It's incredible how Atletico Madrid is in such good shape, but i think it's also a result of the new signings who are doing very well. i don't know if it will be enough to do even better than this and go even higher, but i don't think they have the desire to take the leading position anymore, nor the strength to do so.

As long as Real Madrid and Barcelona can maintain their good form, Atletico Madrid will be the only team present to heat up the title race. You probably know how many La Liga titles Atletico Madrid have won in the last decade, but not more than Real Madrid or Barcelona. Atletico Madrid are the favorites to finish third in La Liga every season, but they can also occasionally be at the top when Barcelona and Real Madrid have really bad seasons.

This season's La Liga will be won by either Barcelona or Real Madrid. The title race looks fierce given the narrow points gap and the two teams trading positions on a weekly basis. Barcelona still leads the standings with a 1-point advantage, but this is not a safe situation considering that Real Madrid can press hard by occupying the top of the standings.

[IceLincoln]

It feels good to be back on top. Now Barca need to stay on top without making any more mistakes.

Hopefully, if they don’t mess it up again.
Villareal is currently at third position on the table.. this implies that they will be trying to secure a win as well to reduce the gap since Barcelona is also ahead.
They will be playing at camp Nou though, home advantage is a thing for Barcelona as they still maintain the unbeaten record at Camp Nou this season.

I am not afraid of Villareal despite how they play now, I see them as nothing, they are not going to stop our streak, I’m more afraid of those teams at relegation zone, they’re the ones who tend to give Barcelona trouble at the dying end of the season.

Hansi Flick has to improve the defensive side of the team, we saw Joao Cancelo shine but it was more of attacking plays. We have to also do brilliantly defensively to continue this lead.

Wow, this means Barcelona really value Lamine Yamal so much to reject that huge sum of money, and yes, he’s adding a lot of value to Barcelona. He’s doing very well in Barcelona and if Barcelona should sell him it will really affect them and I believe they know this already, That is why they refused to sell him even when they know the money will really help them in paying some debt. I also believe Lamine Yamal is not ready to leave Barcelona anytime soon because he love Barcelona so much and he wants to win a lot of trophies and make name for himself in Barcelona and he’s doing just that already, if he leaves Barcelona, he may not perform that good anymore his very young money shouldn’t be his focus now.
