La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Pandu Geddon]

It would have actually been possible for Madrid to get upto three goals in this game but then they could not, but most importantly they got all three points which I consider very important.  Madrid is not a weak side, only that when they suffered some injuries recently and the team became slightly dependent, it was gradually seen as some kind of weakness but I believe now they are going to do better. Against Bilbao, Barcelona is my favourite instinctively.

The match against Celta has become a must-win for Madrid. They managed to win, and that is good. Madrid needs to boost the morale and mentality of the players before facing Man City in the first leg of the Champions League. A victory against Celta will be good for the players, plus they will be playing at home, which will help provide support. I just hope Madrid does not play under pressure from the fans.

if they actually defeat man city i eill believe what bale said about them not caring about laliga and focusing on champions league

[barbara44]

Real Madrid won the game but they did not play well, Celta Vigo deserve to win the game but miss some chances and Courtios also made some incredible saves to keep Real Madrid in the game, Real Madrid is having a lot of injuries and I did not expect them to win the game against Celta Vigo because Celta Vigo is in good form and they are having a good season in La Liga, another reason why i did not expect Real Madrid to win the game is because they lost two games against clubs that are not strong than Celta Vigo.

Real Madrid secured the three points and it is very important for the team because if they lose the match or draw the match against Celta Vigo the tittle race will be over because Barcelona will be ahead of them with 6 to 7 points in the league and we all know it will be over because Real Madrid don’t have players that can compete anymore and Barcelona will not want to drop a point again, Real Madrid has now closed the gap between them and Barcelona, it is now depend on the result of Barcelona against Athletic Bilbao.

I expected them to win precisely for that reason. They have failed to win for a while now, and that means they can't just go on losing games or keep losing points, it has to end at some time and while Celta is not a bad team, they are still not as good as Real Madrid so this game looked like the best place to get three points for Real Madrid, it could work out great and that's what happened.

I understand and realize that injuries are causing a lot of trouble for Real Madrid, but this has been the case for a while now, and it happened with three different managers now. Ancelotti faced this issue, Xabi did, and now Arbeloa does, I think it's quite obvious that we need to see this end at some point so they can do better.

[Baki202]

Every match is very important for Real Madrid. Even if the match against Celta Vigo was a draw, they would be 6 points behind Barcelona. Barcelona is still 1 point ahead. If Barcelona could win today against Athletic Club, they would be 4 points ahead of Madrid.

Every game is very important but they are not taken them serious that is one of the challenges that real Madrid are facing they can not even win the game and that is one of the challenges they are facing and when you don't win you don't make points and it will all end in struggle and even when they were playing celta Vigo I was was not trusting the fact that Madrid is going to win so to some extent am sure that it's either going to be a draw or real Madrid will lose and that is what happened.

Madrid was very lucky yesterday. They could not perform very well. Even then, Valverde saved Real Madrid at the last moment. After 90 minutes, Valverde's goal in injury time secured Madrid's victory. Now Madrid has another strong opponent in front of them, Manchester City. Everyone is waiting to see how Madrid performs against City.

This is how worst there situation have become because if it was not for luck they would have lost that game yesterday and there people that still have confidence in real Madrid not any longer for me trusting real Madrid is like stepping on a land mine because anything can happen along the way and the excuses they are given is injuries even if that is also a factor before the injuries Madrid games have not been appealing at all. And I wonder what will happen when they play against the city.

Every match is very important for Real Madrid. Even if the match against Celta Vigo was a draw, they would be 6 points behind Barcelona. Barcelona is still 1 point ahead. If Barcelona could win today against Athletic Club, they would be 4 points ahead of Madrid.

One thing Real Madrid needs to do now is treat every match as a final meaning they must truly capitalize on every opportunity. They need points to stay close to their La Liga rivals Barcelona.
And if this match ends in a draw, the gap between them will certainly widen, so they must maximize their points in every match.

Luckily because they did not suffer a defeat so that with the goal scored by Valverde as their savior to get a result with a win at Celta Vigo's home but even though they got a win in that match of course they still have a lot to improve because they will compete in the UCL competition where they will face a team from the EPL competition namely Man City because currently Man City is in quite good form considering they are below Arsenal in the standings.

[bitLeap]

See, even without Mbappe and a few other key players, Madrid still managed to secure 3 points in an away match. So we can’t really say Madrid are weaker or anything like that, because even before Mbappe arrived, Madrid were still winning titles back then.

This result could be considered fortunate for Real Madrid, as they struggled to penetrate Celta Vigo defense. Indeed, without Mbappé, they could still win, but only for this match. Like it or not, Mbappé absence has left Madrid's attack lacking in potency. How long will this last? There are still many tough matches ahead, and playing like this will surely end in difficulties. The title race is still on, but consistency is the question for Madrid now. Can they close the gap in the remaining matches?

[dezoel]

While I understand that Real Madrid may not be doing amazingly in recent weeks, expecting them to lose every game would be childish. Of course they are going to still keep winning most of their games, even when they play bad, they are still better than most other teams and winning this one wasn't really a shocking result, it's quite understandable and expected.

I do agree that they did not played that well but they did not play well compared to what they could do, not compared to Celta, they were still better than Celta.

[wakier]

Real Madrid, with a bit of luck, secured three points yesterday with a 1-2 victory thanks to a goal in the 90+4th minute. I think Celta deserved the win, but they weren't lucky.
In the last minute, Valverde's shot deflected off a defender and went into the net. Real Madrid got 3 points in a match where they played poorly and are not yet behind in the championship race, but I think they will be out of the race by April at the latest.

Real Madrid was quite lucky in that match if Valverde had not scored in the minutes of added time maybe Real Madrid would only have gotten a draw Real Madrid almost widened the gap with Barcelona and made Barcelona sit comfortably at the top of the standings, Valverde became the Man of the match in this match he deserves praise for his success in bringing Real Madrid to get 3 full points so that Real Madrid can still continue to compete closely with Barcelona in the hunt for the championship title.

But let's call it what it was. Real Madrid didn't really dominate the game against Celta Vigo today. In fact, Celta looked like the side with more energy and belief, especially in the later stages of the match. Madrid seemed tired, and for long periods they were the ones chasing the game. In the end, Madrid were quite lucky to come away with a 2–1 win. Celta probably deserved more from the match, but once again Madrid found a way to escape with the result.

[Slow death]

Today we have 2 good games:

Atletico Madrid - Real Sociedad

Athletic Bilbao - Barcelona

These are very unpredictable games. Atletico Madrid has been playing well when they are at home and has an advantage over Real Sociedad in home games. In the last 6 years that both teams have faced each other, Atletico Madrid has not lost at home, so I believe in a draw or a victory for Atletico Madrid.

For the Barcelona game, in the last 4 games in which both teams have faced each other, Barcelona won all 4 games comfortably, having scored 2-2 goals and not conceded a goal, so I predict a victory for Barcelona.

See, even without Mbappe and a few other key players, Madrid still managed to secure 3 points in an away match. So we can’t really say Madrid are weaker or anything like that, because even before Mbappe arrived, Madrid were still winning titles back then.

Indeed, despite being without Mbappé and several key players due to injury, Real Madrid still managed to win against Celta Vigo. Real Madrid's squad is packed with star players, so even without Mbappé, Vinicius can still be the spearhead, especially since Vinicius's performance is starting to improve. Real Madrid's champion mentality is strong, and this was evident in the match against Celta Vigo. Despite playing with a squad that was completely lacking due to the loss of many injured players, they were able to secure three points at Celta Vigo's home. Even though Real Madrid fell behind early on against Celta Vigo, they were able to stage a comeback. This clearly demonstrates Real Madrid's strong winning mentality.

Real Madrid are currently in a difficult situation. With so many  matches to play, they are faced with the reality that many of their players  are injured. So any victory they get is certainly very meaningful because they achieved it with a depleted squad. Celta Vigo are not  an easy opponent, especially when they are playing at home, and Real Madrid were fortunate to turn the game  around as it was drawing to a close.

Arbeloa must find a solution because it is  clearly impossible to  rely solely on luck until their key players recover from injury. If they suffer just one more defeat, Barcelona  may leave them far  behind.

I am sure that no one who watched this match could be satisfied with the performance of Real Madrid. Madrid's performance was weak. Especially the performance of their attacking players was slow. But due to Tchouameni's goal at the beginning of the match, Madrid was a little pressure free. Although Real Madrid players were able to create many chances, their finishing was weak. Only 3 on target shots were made by Real Madrid players in this match. Arbeloa is not able to strengthen Madrid's performance in any way.

I do agree that they did not played that well but they did not play well compared to what they could do, not compared to Celta, they were still better than Celta.

Whether we call their games childish or not, I didn't expect Real Madrid to win that match by pure performance, it was luck or miracle as many people called it that did saved them. Did you see the last goal Valverde scored in the 94 minutes of the extra time? Who will expect such kind of goal plus the goal was even a deflection from their defenders, if that shot went straight the goalkeeper would have pointed it out and the match may have ended as draw.

We continue to advocate for Real Madrid to know thier position on their defense. Trent is a bad defender, I still don't see any special characters attributed to football that he has and the club went ahead to bribe Liverpool to get him simply because of the club world cup they wanted to go. He was the reason for the goal the conceded, couldn't mark well, couldn't create a better chance. There is big adjustment that has to be done for the team to come in good form.

It would have actually been possible for Madrid to get upto three goals in this game but then they could not, but most importantly they got all three points which I consider very important.  Madrid is not a weak side, only that when they suffered some injuries recently and the team became slightly dependent, it was gradually seen as some kind of weakness but I believe now they are going to do better. Against Bilbao, Barcelona is my favourite instinctively.

The match against Celta has become a must-win for Madrid. They managed to win, and that is good. Madrid needs to boost the morale and mentality of the players before facing Man City in the first leg of the Champions League. A victory against Celta will be good for the players, plus they will be playing at home, which will help provide support. I just hope Madrid does not play under pressure from the fans.

Securing the match points was more important than scoring multiple times, so for me it's a great game for Real Madrid away from home after that loss at home to Getafe which saw them lose their place to Barcelona who now occupies the top position on the la liga table.
Actually this win is very significant for Real Madrid because it helps to put more pressure on the league leaders(Barcelona), the points difference isn't really much which means just a little mistake could be very detrimental to either Barcelona or Real Madrid at this point in time.

For the Barcelona game, in the last 4 games in which both teams have faced each other, Barcelona won all 4 games comfortably, having scored 2-2 goals and not conceded a goal, so I predict a victory for Barcelona.

Those games are easy games to predict. Firstly, Barcelona is not going struggle to beat Bilbao. I say that caused by they rarely lose against Bilbao in a home game. It's getting better with Yamal who is performing good again. So i don't see them chance to lose in this game.
It's also a must win game to give them the room to breathe from getting chased by Real Madrid, which below them. They have everyone comeback to their squad. So they ready to win this home game against Bilbao.

As for Atletico, they're obviously superior in term of players composition. No doubt they always dominated Sociedad in the last head to head. So i'm fully rooting on them when everyone is in good mood after they knocked out Barcelona.
So Sociedad ain't gonna be a hard game for them, though it's an away.

That's the reason i do 2 legs parlay with Barcelona and Atletico are my choices. I'm getting fueled with optimism to win my parlay.

I've included Barcelona in my bet, I know they'll be playing away, but as you said they've performed well against Bilbao in recent meetings. Furthermore, Bilbao isn't as strong this season as they were last season, the reason Barcelona is likely to win is that they want to maintain their lead over Madrid.

As for Atletico, I'm not interested in risking my money on them, although the odds are quite tempting, I think it's too risky, Atletico Madrid has been an inconsistent team this season.

Real Madrid, with a bit of luck, secured three points yesterday with a 1-2 victory thanks to a goal in the 90+4th minute. I think Celta deserved the win, but they weren't lucky.

I personally predicted that the match would end in a draw. But my prediction was wrong when Valverde scored in the final minutes. Real Madrid's struggle to win this match against Celta Vigo was impressive as they managed to win despite the absence of several key players. However this victory further solidifies Real Madrid's position in second place in the standings. Real Madrid now has a 1-point gap over Barcelona. And Barcelona will play against Athletic Bilbao in a few hours. This match is very important for Barcelona to win so that they can keep their distance from Real Madrid and even not be easily overtaken. In several h2h matches Barcelona has been very dominant in every meeting against Athletic Bilbao. And even Barcelona managed to win by a large margin when they last played against Bilbao at San Mames. I personally predict that Barcelona will win. This match should not be difficult for Barcelona considering their many victories in previous head-to-head matches. I'm confident that Barcelona will win by a significant margin in the upcoming match. Barcelona will be able to defeat Athletic Bilbao by a margin of 2 goals or even more.

One thing Madrid is definitely getting from this win against Celta apart from the three points is the morale boost as you have mentioned, and they really did needed it for them to be able to continue in the title race and also the champions league where they are not sure of having it easy against other top sides they will be facing after now.

[Just Say]

Yes, Real Madrid were lucky because they were able to score a great goal in extra time which made the audience even more happy. Although currently Real Madrid will compete with Barcelona with only one point difference in the La Liga points table. Celta Vigo played great against Real Madrid and they became a strong team and their place in the point table is at number 6. However, since Real Madrid was able to collect their full points in this match and moved closer to Barcelona, they must win in the next matches. Only if Real Madrid can collect their full points in the next matches, they will be able to survive in the competition and claim the title.

Not agree with your opinion about luckiness from Madrid victory last night, its purely hard working and ambition from Madrid get three points by fully pressure Celta Vigo until last minutes at additional time. Celta Vigo playing well since conceded early but success make the games draw and several time almost scoring goal but Courtois make many crucial saves last night.

Real Madrid's hard work and ambition helped them win against Celta Vigo but I want to tell you that winning last night's round twenty-seven game was dramatic and fateful for Madrid. Indeed Uruguayan player Valverde is a gem for Madrid because we noticed that this player brought the turning point against Celta Vigo in yesterday's game but to be honest, we haven't seen the great Real Madrid version in the last few matches.

Madrid make 1 points left with Barcelona right now and back to the La Liga tittle race after losing two matches in a row, now Madrid focus for next match against Man City in Champion League next week in La Liga against Elche should be not difficult to secure three points. As Madrid fans how your optimistic for winning La Liga tittle?

Yes, Madrid is now one point behind Barcelona, however it seems Barcelona are now 1 point ahead of Madrid thanks to back-to-back wins. At this stage you are right that Real Madrid's focus is now on their next match against Manchester City in the Champions League next week, Maybe everyone wants to see the great Madrid in this UCL round, the team that fights for every ball and it is most fitting that this team will have to be perfect against Manchester City in the upcoming Champions League game.

Prediction results for Celta vs Madrid

BTTS (Yes) ✅
Madrid over 2.5 ❌
Total corners under 8.5 or 9.5 ✅

See, even without Mbappe and a few other key players, Madrid still managed to secure 3 points in an away match. So we can’t really say Madrid are weaker or anything like that, because even before Mbappe arrived, Madrid were still winning titles back then.

The title race isn’t over yet, and now we’ll see how the Bilbao vs Barcelona match turns out.
What do you think about Bilbao vs Barcelona? Will Barcelona win today’s match, or will they only cut the point gap with Madrid with a draw?

Yeah, Real Madrid performance isn’t that bad, despite the fact they have a lot injured players. A lot of their key players were absent in this game due to injuries, yet Real Madrid managed to secured the three points away from home. The fans were disappointed in the last two league matches which they lost, they suffered two defeats in a row, and that gives Barcelona to stay comfortable with 4 points at the top, since they will play Bilbao today.

Of course, the title race isn’t over yet, the end of the season will determine the title winner. But most of people have given up on Real Madrid winning the title because they are not putting the effort required to win the title. If Barcelona win against Bilbao today, they will remain four points different from Real Madrid, but if they failed to win, it would be one point different.
