La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[MorganaX]

Arbeloa is an excellent coach and if i think that he should give way to someone else i think it's not right because they find themselves with a team that is tailor-made for him and therefore now they have to aim to do better and keep him, a team that wins doesn't change, if it wins obviously, regarding Real Madrid i don't think there is anything else to say other than that this is a failing season.

On what basis do you say arbeloa is a excellent  manager? He has little experience. It doesn't seem like Mmadrid has become stronger with Arbeloa. If Madrid could have won la liga , we would have said arbeloa is a great coach. But it is not possible for madrid to win la liga . They are out of  the champions league. Madrid is not playing as well as they should  against strong teams. Arbeloa has had enough time to strengthen  the team. But he has not shown any positive changes.

There is one fact and that's the fact that Real Madrid are not going to win anything this season and saying that arbeloa is a good coach from the stats of what he has presented with the short time he has coached Real Madrid shows that he isn't capable enough to yield anything good for the club. If they would give him time maybe some times might change in future coming but Real Madrid isn't actually a team that have such patience with coaches.

After the UCL disappointments for Madrid and Barcelona, do you think both teams will vent their frustration in La Liga? I mean, will they push harder to grab points with bigger scorelines?

Barcelona vs Celta
Madrid vs Alaves

On paper, Celta and Alaves shouldn’t be tough opponents for either side. So I assume that for the rest of the season, driven by disappointment, these two top teams might play more aggressively in La Liga. So, what do you think?

[Velvet78]

Barcelona and Real Madrid both seem to have easy games on paper. But we never know... Celta are still fighting for European competitions. They have just got eliminated from the Europa League so they will need to focus on the La Liga more now!

Alaves are trying not to relegate on the other hand. They are only 1 point above relegation zone. I wouldn't be surprised with another scenario like Barcelona win and Real Madrid lose points... Barcelona are already running to the La Liga title comfortably.

There is no doubt that both Barcelona and Real madrid are very  strong compared to their opponents. And they have a high chance of winning. Celta Vigo's performance is quite erratic. But the team is in sixth place in the points table. This team  is fighting  to qualify for the conference league or the Europa League. Barcelona will have to play carefully. If barcelona's defenders do not make any mistakes , barcelona's chances of losing points in this match are very low.

Alaves are at the bottom of the points table. But the team is fighting to avoid the relegation zone now. The important thing is that they are unbeaten in the last 4 matches. They will also try to share  points against madrid. Even then, I expect madrid to win. Madrid will not want to lose points  against a weak team like alaves at the Bernabeu.

You have your reason for this production but we can not know things when the match has not even played or started, although I'm still in doubt if arsenal can win Athletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid love to play defense so I do not know how arsenal plans to get their goals but we also know that a defensive side can be forced into making mistake that can cause them to lose a match, now the question is, can arsenal do that in that match, I was discussing with a friend, he said arsenal will win but I needed him to give me more reason why he think so but he couldn't, thanks for the advice, personally i won't be gambling on the reamining match of arsenal in the UEFA champions League I got my reasons

I have seen much compliments about this so called Atletico Madrid defense. Don't forget that it was still the same Atletico that like to play defensive that conceded just 4 minutes into the game against Barcelona, but Ademola Lookman scored a decisive goal that have them where they are now. Arsenal can progress to the next stage of the Champions league if only they can keep focus and not letting any chances fly their way in the upcoming tie. They need to sit-up or they are bottling and trophy. Atletico Madrid will be playing their Copa del rey final tomorrow, from my prediction, they are favourite to win the trophy with their recent form. So the pressure is on Arsenal now, and the big question remains if they are going to win the Premier League or the Champions league, or both (double), or they will go home with trouble.

On paper yes, I would agree. But we shouldn't forget that football isn't always played according to paper... Especially Real Madrid have made really silly point losses throughout the season. 

I wouldn't bet on them at least. Barcelona look more credible to me honestly. Because you should be remembering the Mallorca and Girona matches for Real Madrid. Home or away they are just inconsistent lately.

[Adiljutt156]

You may have forgotten that Madrid did not win any title last season. Their performance was inconsistent last season. Have we seen any positive change in Madrid's performance this season? Madrid's performance was inconsistent. I agree with you that sacking Alonso was a bad decision by Madrid management. I believe that Alonso would have been able to do a  better job than Arbeloa. If Madrid cannot find an experienced manager next season , they will not be able to win any title next season either. This squad of Madrid is impossible to manage without an experienced manager.

Real Madrid's performance was simply in line with what they have done up to now, they always start very well but then they are unable to achieve anything and lose matches, this is not the behavior of great teams which only leads to continuous defeats and so it was, they also missed this opportunity

The shots of Bayern Munich football team were more in number and these were 17 in this match and 8 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was great in this match which was 67 percent in this match and they tried to give their best to win this match and they were successful in their mission. The passes of that team were more in number and these were 648 in this match and pass accuracy of that team was great in this match. The fouls of that team were less in this match and shots of Bayern Munich football team were less in this match and these were 11 in this match and 7 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was only 33 percent in this match.

[cande86]

Atletico madrid has a lot of fans. But it is true that Atletico madrid has less fans than Barcelona and madrid. Atletico madrid is  considered the third strongest team in laliga. And atletico madrid has won the la liga title  11 times. You are right that if there are star players in the squad, the number of fans and  followers of the club naturally increases. For example, madrid and barcelona have  got a lot of followers for messi and ronaldo. If star players like mbappe or haaland were in Atletico madrid's squad, their followers would increase even more.

I don't believe that if Atletico Madrid had invested what Real Madrid or Barcelona invested they would have fewer fans at this point, it's just that they clearly have many more fans because they simply won more, but this is not something necessary to be a great club and in fact they have demonstrated it.

To be honest, Real Madrid current performance is truly disappointing, not only has it declined, but it’s no longer convincing, and it’s no better than when Xabi Alonso was in charge. Their playing style remains unstable, and they’re playing very inconsistently. It may take more time to build a solid team and adapt to the new strategy. For Arbeloa, these are difficult times, but this isn’t the end, hopefully there’s still a chance for him to prove that under his leadership Real Madrid can go further, let’s hope that’s not just wishful thinking.

Barcelona finishing off the season with another title is awesome for them. They are getting the new stadium as well, not every place is opened yet, but they are playing there at least, and by next year, I am sure they are going to have it full capacity, a brand new stadium with 2 titles means that they are going to do very good without a doubt.

It's not going to be that much of a big problem anymore, sure they still have debt, but now they will have income according to that, so they should be able to build a squad without that much of a problem. Registering players was a big problem, and I am sure that it won't be that much of a problem anymore. Plus De Jong and Lewa costs them 40+ million a year, with them gone, it would be even better.

Is not always easy but now that Barcelona and Real Madrid are no in the Champions League anymore they will surly continue fighting for the league competition. And Barcelona are already given Real Madrid 9 point gaps in the league table. And they won't like to lose any point in the competition, But they is still 7 matches to play and if Barcelona lose two matches and Real Madrid won everything that will be another challenge between both clubs.

Since they have not yet play the El classico yet so Barcelona will be doing there best to win every of there matches in the league before the el classico and if they probably get the opportunity to achieve the three point in the El classico that means Barcelona will be the laliga champions of the season. Let see how the games will goes this weekends.

Yeah, Real Madrid is going trophyless this season and that's the fact you have stated which you are right on point in that regard. If Real Madrid board decides to keep him that's on them, they must have seen something in him that they feel is worthy to keep him. There have been rumours of them having eyes on Kloop but no official statement on that yet and just yesterday Real Madrid said they are standing by Arbeloa, if they will stand by it, then it's for him to put up his best. He knows the club his in and both the board and the fans doesn't tolerate nonchalance, he was once a player in the club so he knows better when it comes to how Real Madrid acts when the results are not going there way.

Albeloa future is certain to end at the end of the season and Madrid will certainly be without any silverware this season. After Barcelona failure in the Champions League, they will focus on La Liga continuing to sweep all their matches with wins to secure the La Liga trophy with pride.

Meanwhile, Madrid has little left to do except aim to end La Liga with dignity by continuing to win their remaining matches. El Clasico will certainly be a must-win match for Madrid to finish the season with dignity.

For Perez, Madrid failure to win a trophy in one season is a lesson, but failing to win a trophy in two years is a major problem for Madrid. So, I want to see Madrid undergo a major overhaul next season, starting with building a squad and recruiting a coach to replace Albeloa.

Real Madrid is now focusing on the La Liga after they departed from the UEFA Champions League. They are nine points below Barcelona and would be doing all they can to fight for the trophy. The game against Deportivo Alavés is important, so they will want to win it by all means. Alavés will not take the game easily because they are fighting to avoid relegation. Currently in 17th position, just one point above 18th-place Elche.

Real Madrid should try again next season since they couldn't challenge Barcelona again after going from topping the league to becoming the team that is behind Barcelona. There's no way Barcelona will give them the opportunity to get closer to them again since they are 9 points below them, I think they will just try to win their games but because they are chasing the title but because they want to remain in the second place. I won't be surprised if they lose against Alavés because a team that is trying to avoid going to relegation is not easily defeated.

With this current performance of Barcelona Celta is not a big deal for Barcelona, they are going to beat them. Moreover Barcelona is the leading team in the La liga competition, they are actually doing very great in the competition.

I believe they will continue dominating the league, because I know that Barcelona is fully concentrating in the La Liga competition right now.  So Celta is not really going to be a challenge to Barcelona,  however let’s see what will happen.

[snipie]

With this current performance of Barcelona Celta is not a big deal for Barcelona, they are going to beat them.

Celta Vigo is sitting in the 6th spot, nevertheless they are very inconsistent, scoring half what Barcelona scored in the league. I believe that match shouldn't be a problem for them although the injuries they have.

I believe they will continue dominating the league, because I know that Barcelona is fully concentrating in the La Liga competition right now.

Yeah, Barcelona gonna win the league. Real Madrid is far away from them and Barcelona is way better this season. It is true that Atletico Madrid kicked them from two competitions but they are better in La Liga comparing to the other teams.

[Alpha Marine]

If they would give him time maybe some times might change in future coming but Real Madrid isn't actually a team that have such patience with coaches.

There is no point in giving a coach who is not good enough more time. If you give him all the time in the world, he would still be the same coach. What has been sustaining Madrid all these while, I mean, what keeps them till the quarter finals of the Champions League, why they are not 15 points behind Barcelona, is because of their individual brilliance, not because of the coach's brilliance and how they play.
I'm not saying the coach is bad; I'm saying he's just not good enough for a club like Madrid. Madrid needs an experienced tactician who can make the players play to their strength and bring out their best. If they make the right choices this summer and hire a good and experienced coach, get a couple of players to play the RW, DM anda controller in midfield, they might have adecent team.

The problem with real madrid right now is Arbeloa on one side and the management on the other side. The management has made several mistakes and I won't spare them in my own assessments too because they do less on supporting a manager and do more on acquiring another one. At least Xabi Alonso did not see enough of such support before he left the team he could have really done well in terms of his tenure and such thing looks like it is playing out with the current guy. If they want the managers to work very effectively especially with the cadre of managers their bringing, they most also work hard to support them.

Real madrid game against Alaves won't be that tough because Alaves is not in good shap and I get the believe that Real Madrid will get the chance to achieve three point. Madrid have lost back to back league matches since Mbappe came back from injuring the team as started struggling to get a point in the league matches. I think madrid will do everything possible to a victory in that game. Barcelona facing Celta Vigo will somehow tough but Barcelona will get the victory. Hansi Flick won't like to lose any point in the league competition now because madrid will try to chase the league and perform better since they are not in any big competitions, just facings the league competition.
