La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[snipie]

Today Copa del Rey final match will be played between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Sevilla.
At the time where Real Sociedad was walking forward steadily by winning their games, Atletico Madrid was scoring big then being defeated, yet managing to advance. Ironically, it is the same attitude done against Barcelona in UEFA Champions League. Atletico Madrid lose the match and win the battle but this time they have only one shot to whether win or lose.
With less than 5 hours to go, Atletico Madrid looks favourite with odds around 1.8 versus 4 for Real Sociedad. I find Atletico Madrid better personally.

I know Rayo is making history for them in Conference but Conference is very tiny so im not taking them into account.

well we are not here to judge the path of private clubs, but they are clearly the evolution of football, and i also think that they are super pumped and when they go to play they demonstrate much less than what they say they are worth, the players of now are completely different from those who once existed

[Callido]

Perhaps the main question that should be asked is: why does every Real Madrid player want to be the center of attention, and the coach doesn't have the power to tell them not to do that?

I won't blame the coach or the team president for the attitude of the players, they are intentionally doing so because the two coaches that has taken over Ancelotti are both younger coaches at their middle age, it is very difficult to see big players respect and totally humble to his management, some of the players are considered world class and some are using every means they can to seek validation, having all kind of attitudes will certainly affect the club.

Real Madrid tried to combine well, but still not fully in work, because each player has to unlock personal achievement, it is not about team collective work, but they take each game personal to help them set personal records.

I think Barcelona are really stable now compared to Real Madrid, Real Madrid just have a lot of issues they need to deal with, the coach, the playstyle, the players because how will a big team like Real Madrid go a whole season trophy less while teams that don't have the type of players they have are even performing better, we should know that the problem is an internal problem they need to solve of not they will soon be a team that's not feared even by smaller teams and that's even happening now, most smaller team are having confidence of winning them, they don't play like underdog with them because they know they have equal chances of winning. Watching the second game of play between Real Madrid and Bayern, you will see how Vinicius was just walking during the game and Camavinga receiving such a red card because of his carelessness is also a very disappointing experience for their fans.
Real Madrid is not even showing signs of improvement at all and that's just sad.

Could it be that the players are yet to align well with the coach and so it is affecting their general performance, they may be uncomfortable with the coach but then again Madrid has changed about two coaches already, so for how long will this continue? Maybe it is high time some of the players are sold out or sent on loan so they go and improve before the team becomes a shadow of itself.

Atletico's odds is just getting closer to 1.90, but i'm rooting on them to win this game. They're surely going win this one. They have never been struggle when they face Sociedad in La Liga. So we can expect them to win at least one trophy this season.

It gets better with how Lookman and Alvarez are fit, and they can play for full times. Cholo is gonnna push those two players to perform at their peak in order to secure this important trophy.

They also knocked out barcelona in UCL too. So we know how strong their mentality right now. Atletico is winning with 2-0. This score seems enough.

Atletico Madrid are in the finals for champion league and are likely also going to win the Champions League because they are also a strong team in terms of experience and fierce attack, so I don't want to just see the Copa del Rey as their only battle that would be won, I'm having an open mind that the Champions League too can be won by them because they are a force to be reckon with. However Atletico Madrid have really tried coming thus far, eliminating Barcelona in the Champions League was not what I saw coming easy for them.

Maybe it is high time some of the players are sold out or sent on loan so they go and improve before the team becomes a shadow of itself.

First of all, Arbeloa is inexperienced. Madrid has a lot of talented and star players in their squad. Arbeloa has not been able to strengthen  the bond between the  players. And I think this is one  of the reasons for Madrid's inconsistent performance. The  understanding between the players is not good. At the same time, the relationship between the two most important players in madrid, Mbappe and vini, is probably not good. This affects madrid's overall performance. Madrid needs an  experienced manager first and foremost. Otherwise, madrid's performance will not improve next season.

I wanted to doubt you until I remembered it was Atletico Madrid that removed Barcelona dorm the Champions League and bow are going to face Arsenal on the Champions League. If it's what Arsenal are playing running around the field for 90 monies with zero short on target then that means they really have the chance to reach the final but I can't comment on what will happen on the final since we don't know who is coming out between PSG and Bayern yet.

The same way I think things are possible in the Champions League is how I see the Copa del ray but we should not forget that Real Sociedad didn't play it come to the final. The last couple of Laliga matches Atletico Madrid play resulted in loss and because they had good time in the Champions League doesn't mean they will succeed here as well, they didn't even win the last match but the aggregate help them to reach the semi final.

Since this is the final, I can't underestimate Sociedad, they not new contenders, even though they only have three Copa del Rey trophies, this also means they have experience, if I'm not mistaken, their last win was in 2020.

But also in terms of level comparison, Atletico is far superior. In fact, they been quite successful this season, advancing to the UCL semifinals. I think Simeone has a clear goal, so they won't waste this Copa del Rey trophy, and after that, they will definitely aim for the UCL title. @1.8 isn't bad to try.

[qurbanshah02]

With such a big distance from Real Madrid and Barca, I don't think that they will be so aggressive to catch up, at most they will just maintain their current position and that will be enough to secure their position in the Champions League next season. their current focus is to face Arsenal in the semifinals because that is the most realistic for them to pursue at this time, if they can beat Arsenal in this semifinal, it means that they are getting closer to the Champions League trophy, and they will only face either Munich or PSG if one of them wins.

No, the championship like the Champions League is now over for Real Madrid.
We'll talk about it next season, in fact it's better to start fixing things now and make sure nothing wrong happens next season, that is, fix the problems that exist.

Real Madrid could only win a toy Champions League trophy with eight players in attack and four in defense.
and that team has that moody Mbappe. He absolutely refuses to play under a dominant head coach. It’s unclear what their tactical plan even is upfront. Because of that, the defense can’t fully commit to supporting the attack they know any turnover could instantly turn into a goal via a counter attack.

When it is closed for Real Madrid, how can they give themselves a title in the Champions League, even if they want to do it, when they have been defeated from all sides and they could not even succeed in the Quarter final stages, they are not even considered a strong team in this league. I do not understand Real Madrid, they have failed in this league very easily. Their players did not keep their performance in the Champions League very sharp and I think they were not playing seriously in this league, due to which they could not have progressed. Real Madrid should improve their performance so that they can also succeed in the Champions League because this league is won through hard work and their performance and Real Madrid could have succeeded in it. We have 4 teams in the semi-finals, which are all strong and they are now preparing for the performance and success of the final.

There are already rumours out there such as Vinicius Junior's manager is looking for their options this summer. But it is said that there isn't any team interested in signing him recently.

I don't think there wouldn't be any team interested honestly. That's an exaggeration. Saudi teams would be ready to make an offer before anything else. Some rich European teams would also go for him.

But I really don't like his inconsistent performances at Real Madrid this year...

[Pandorak]

Real Madrid are having a serious crisis issue and if it's left unchecked them even next season they will still fall out with no trophy, they have all the quality players but yet have failed to do achieve any thing which is unlike Real Madrid looking at how strong that team have come to be for me I think they just need a man who can blend the different personalities in the team and have a strong attacking tactics.

It must be acknowledged that Real Madrid is currently going through a rather critical phase. It’s not because they lack quality players, they have one of the best squads in the world, but rather because they seem to have lost their balance, there doesn’t appear to be a leader capable of uniting the rest of the players.

To say that there is nothing left to expect from this club might be quite realistic. Although there is still a chance, and a club as big as Real Madrid has a history of bouncing back precisely during difficult times, especially when Cristiano was still playing, nothing is impossible.

We have 4 teams in the semi-finals, which are all strong and they are now preparing for the performance and success of the final.

Madrid is already out of the Champions League. And now Atletico is the only team from La Liga that has reached the semi-finals.
Madrid has been inconsistent this season, and some players seem more emotional now. Madrid needs to fix their team, the coach and some players might need to be renewed for next season. They certainly don't want to continue being spectators in the Champions League final, especially regarding the competition in La Liga.

[Out of mind]

Atletico Madrid will face Arsenal in a very exciting match as the two teams are set to face each other in the semi-finals. Each team will be playing strong at home and will be favourites to win. Arsenal are in the hunt for the Premier League title and will be looking to secure their place in the Champions League with a good result against Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid and Barcelona are two of the strongest teams to have been eliminated from La Liga this season, so Atletico Madrid will be keen to reach the final as they have reached the semi-finals. I think if they can defend and attack well, Arsenal can beat them just like Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona.

[GiftedMAN]

However Atletico Madrid have really tried coming thus far, eliminating Barcelona in the Champions League was not what I saw coming easy for them.

No, they haven't gone to the finals yet rather they will play against Arsenal in the semi finals of the champions League. Atletico Madrid have the chances of being in the finals of the champions League this season if they defeat Arsenal they will wait to see who wins between PSG and Bayern Munich. They eliminated Barcelona in the Copa del Rey  to get to the finals and they also defeated Barcelona in the quarter finals in the champions League so it's a big achievement for them but winning the two trophies will be a very good history if they achieve it.

[tygeade]

Betting on these weeks is a lot harder. For one, Barcelona may not care that much because they feel like they already won the league, so even if they somehow lose this game, it still doesn't mean that they are not going to be the league leaders, they are going to end up with not caring and underestimating the situation.

And then we have Real Madrid, which is why there is really no doubt that Real Madrid probably lost hope already and that means that we are going to see them not care that much neither, because they do not have that hope to win the title, which means anything could happen. We can still see both of them end up with a win, there is no doubt about that, but we could also see them not do that great neither.

[jakdanyel]

There is no La Liga match at the weekend. Instead the next matches are going to take place in 3 days. There are going to be matches midweek and next weekend both.

I think Barcelona will beat Celta and Getafe both on those matchdays. I feel like Real Madrid will win against Alaves at home but leave points against Real Betis away. Even though there is only La Liga left for them I still can't trust them about consistency.

[Shadiq]

I don't know if Atletico Madrid are going to make history or not. But the Champions League always surprises us, this season Atletico Madrid might win the title and surprise us completely. Just like PSG surprised everyone last season, we have to prepare so that Atletico Madrid doesn't surprise us this season. They have already surprised us twice by knocking Barcelona out of two important leagues, if they can win both titles, they will surprise us for the third time. Atletico Madrid has performed well in the last matches, any team needs to be well prepared to fight against them.

Well if they would adopt that move then it would be great for the team because I believe that's what most of the players that are in that squad need, despite the fact that they have good players they all seem to be struggling in terms of delivering top performance and making the team what they need to be and if am the coach or board of the team, I believe the next drastic step would be to start the process of loaning them.

Of course, Barcelona is out of the Champions League, so they will channel their anger to Celta Vigo and win them honorably and since they have 9 points advantage against Real Madrid, they will still want to retain that 9 points so that Real Madrid won't have any hopes of nearing the gap by 6 points. Real Madrid in the other hand will try to win Alaves and still keep their hope alive despite that it looks almost difficult for them since the end of the season is drawing near. The La Liga games might be boring next week because there will be not much fighting spirit except for teams who will be fighting not to fall to relegation or teams at the relegation zone who will want to move out before the end of the season.
