La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Marykeller]

I'm not a fan of watching average teams playing their matches in Laliga but because I'm bored and cannot wait for the league to start fully, I decided to watch the opening match between Alaves and Getafe.

The first half is over and Getafe has opened the season with a red card on the 42nd minutes of the game after an awkward tackle by Femenia to reduce his team to ten men. The first half ended goalless and it's a big advantage to Alaves in the second half for them to break the deadlock as they play against ten men.

Did you watch the second half, up to the last whistle, when Alaves was able to break the deadlock to score in the first half, only to score up to 3 goals towards the ending of the second half.

It's like we are going to have many red cards given to players this season in LaLiga matches because the way the first and second matches had red cards was not encouraging. Getafe and Sevilla had their first match of the season with a red card. Although Sevilla won against their opponent by 2-1, with the red card

La Liga has just started, and 2 teams have already collected 3 points: Alaves and Sevilla. These two teams managed to get 3 points in the opening match of La Liga.
Alaves defeated Getafe 3-0. Alaves appeared so dominant and made Getafe unable to score a single goal against them.
Also, Sevilla narrowly won against Rayo with a score of 2-1. They won against Rayo thanks to a penalty kick from Gerard in the 97th minute and also their decisive goal to seal the win.

The opening La Liga match went very well, although there was a red card controversy in the Alaves and Getafe matches, but it was not a serious problem.

Sevila hard a great outing tonight even though the first half of the game was really a tough one for Sevilla as Rayo Vallecano leading with 1 goal from the very earliest minutes of the game A. Garcia scored the early goal in the 4th minute of the match Vallecano could not make any further goals record until J. Guridi came through in the 52 minutes with the first goal for Sevilla and G. Peque scoring the winning goal for Sevila in the extra time of the match, conclusions is that, Sevila despite having a successful kick off of season, it still a narrow escape and a call to seat up as the season progresses.

I don't think we can call the victory achieved with two penalty goals fantastic. They should have played better and learned how to score goals during the game. The only good thing for Sevilla was that they scored the second goal despite playing with a man down. This played a role in winning the match. It's a good result for Sevilla; ultimately, three points are always important. Rayo pushed them hard in the match, but they couldn't do more and lost the three points to Sevilla.

Good one from Alaves and Sevilla, kicking off the new season in style, I mean regardless of how narrow they won their matches, the main point is that the new season has started and they started it very well with a win for themselves. I don't know how far they can carry the momentum into the league cause I know eventually the top dogs in the league are Barca, Madrid, Atletico and towards the end of the league it will become much clearer but then again, nice one to Alaves and Sevilla.

If it isn't Barcelona, ​​then Real Madrid is the favorite for most people, this is hardly surprising, given that the league is indeed dominated by those two clubs. On matchday #1, both teams face formidable opponents, Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad, while Barcelona goes up against Athletic Bilbao. Early matchday points are crucial, if a team drops even a single point, it signals dominance for the other side. Well, I don't really care about Barcelona or Real Madrid, because I'm a loyal supporter of Atlético Madrid.

Barca's chances of winning the title would improve with Rodri's presence in the midfield. Flick's kind of football requires Rodri to balance acceleration and create space in front, while retaining center control. If Barca succeeds at signing him from City, the problem of having a midfielder like Sergio Busquet will be solved. If the proceeds didn't work out, Barca is okay with Pedri, Gavi, and Frankie de Jong controlling the midfield, it won't limit their chances. 

Barcelona needs not just Rodri but another striker to compete if Real Madrid can have a good team play then I doubt Barcelona can do anything. We know they have the most solid squad in La Liga but unfortunately lack the team play or unity for their success in this past two seasons but things will be better hopefully.

You are right, Barcelona currently does not have a good striker in its team, because as we know Lewandowski has left and until now I have not heard news that Barcelona is recruiting a new striker. Even though it is very important right now, because without a good striker, the team will clearly still have difficulty scoring goals. So I think Barcelona really needs to move quickly, because the season will start soon. So they clearly have to move quickly to bring in a striker who can fill the empty spot left by Lewandowski.

But it seems that Barcelona is currently having a really hard time getting a new striker, because basically even though initially there were many rumors circulating about a striker that Barcelona would bring in, but unfortunately until now none of those rumors have come true. Because Julian Alvarez is also currently too expensive and I don't think Barcelona would be willing to buy him if his price is not lowered. So that's why right now I don't know what Barcelona will do now.

Sevilla and Alaves won the opening match of this Spanish league, which was a much-needed win for them and will give them more confidence in the upcoming matches. Both teams are weak in terms of strength, so there is not much discussion about them, but in some matches, these small teams win against big teams and they come into the discussion. Getafe is a well-performing team and was in 7th position in the table with 51 points last season. In the other match, Rayo lost against Sevilla, although they were in 8th position last season. Both teams who were at the top of the points table last season lost to teams with fewer points than them.

Sevilla get to start this season in a good way since they won their first game in the league, last season they lost their first and second games of the season though it was Against Atletico Madrid and Getafe. Another interesting thing about these two opening games is that the both teams playing at home were the ones that won.

Seville was lucky to get both of their two goals as a penalty eve though they got a red card in the second half and they completed a comeback because Rayo Vallecano scored just four minutes into the match. Villarreal will play against Racing Santander and Levante against Espanyol today.

Match day 1 in La Liga: 2 red cards already, 5 goals, and 3 points for two teams. Getafe is absolutely disappointed the referee gave them a red card coz it had a major impact, and once it was 2-0, it was game over. Probably not the most entertaining game to kick off the new season. Yellow cards, red cards, tackles, direct play…Hopefully the referees don’t become the main characters as the season goes on. On the other side, there’s literally zero hype about La Liga kick-off; their marketing is dead.

These small teams don't usually have much excitement in their matches, but the excitement will gradually increase, as in the upcoming match will between Racing Santander and Villarreal. Don't be surprised if there is an incident in this match because Racing Santander is a good team. The club has the ability to beat Villarreal, a team that had good results last season.

In most tournaments, the excitement doesn't start right away, it builds gradually as the fans' favorite teams participate in the matches and the referees have an influence if the players are overly aggressive. Hopefully, every match in the Spanish league will be competitive and the fans will be able to enjoy the matches with joy.

Indeed, barcelona and Real Madrid are always the favorites to win because they are consistently the strongest teams in La Liga I think Real Madrid, who will face Real Sociedad, has a strong potential to win, as Real Madrid still has a stronger squad than Real Sociedad. But we'll just have to wait and see what happens. However, we certainly don't know what will happen in the Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad match, as Real Sociedad is certainly already preparing everything for the upcoming season I think Barcelona ​​who will face Bilbao has a strong potential to win because in my opinion Barcelona has a stronger squad than bilbao

It's certainly better to win and get points early in the match, because winning points will give a team confidence for the upcoming matches But yes, because you are an Atletico Madrid supporter, you will definitely care more about atletico Madrid's matches However I am also curious about atletico Madrid's matches in the coming season Will they be better than last season or not? Do you think atletico Madrid will perform better or not? In the coming season

Getafe received their first red card, effectively handing Deportivo Alavés a 3-goal victory. Scoring three goals after Getafe received a red card was really uninspiring, even though I didn’t watch the match. This was different from Sevilla, who received a red card toward the end of the match but still managed to win despite falling behind early against Rayo.
The regular top-tier La Liga teams won’t start their matches until a few days from now. A schedule like this gives them a break to prepare better.

[Sexylizzy2813]

New season and we almost saw same old Sevilla that loves to draw, is like it's in their DNA to struggle and struggle just to get a draw but last night they got that important goal that gave them a 2-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano despite the red card Salas got they managed to get another penalty to win the game. But if you ask me, I'd say Rayo Vallecano was the better side but luck wasn't on their side because they were too aggressive when they attack while Sevilla was defending more, too bad for the visitors that couldn't get another goal to secure their lead, maybe next game we will see a different approach from Rayo Vallecano.

That's right, but football is really unpredictable. No one can tell what possible result can happen. Besides, the ball is round, there's always a chance for them. What they just have to do is to show the result of their hard work that they have been putting in, their hard work will eventually pay off.

And as you have mentioned their talented strikers, their potential is indeed what we should look forward with. They will probably make a huge difference as long as they consistently perform their best. It won't be easy, but they have the capability and determination to bring surprise to everyone.

That's right, the ball is round, the match lasts 90 minutes. In football the beautiful thing is precisely the unpredictability, because many times we expect something obvious and then the reality is a total reversal of what we expected. So basically the only thing you can do is enjoy the match, hoping that it gives you emotions and that victory goes to whoever deserves it most.

We know they have the most solid squad in La Liga but unfortunately lack the team play or unity for their success in this past two seasons but things will be better hopefully.

To survive in the competition with Real Madrid, Barcelona definitely needs another striker this season, not only in the sun. They definitely need some players to make the team strong. If Barcelona fails to maintain their dominance this season, then their competition with Real Madrid will definitely not be very exciting. However, Real Madrid already has enough players and was strong, but they may not have been able to play strongly due to the conflict between their players. However, with the squad that Real Madrid has created for the upcoming season, they can definitely claim to win the title this season. With a strong team formed by the new coach and good quality players in the team, Real Madrid will definitely be at the top of the competition.

[MArsland]

Having Rodri in Barcelona’s team will bring more maturity and confidence in Barcelona’s midfield, he is a good leader that can guide the young midfielders towards making great decisions in the field and they will surely be stronger and they will have a very good chance of winning the Laliga and the Champions League, but Barcelona is yet to agree on a price with Manchester City, they are trying to underpay for the Ballon D or winner which is unacceptable, they need to at fast to pay the appropriate amount before they get him.

Barcelona have a chance to win the Champions League with Rodri? seriously?
Is Rodri influence that big?
This is a bit of an exaggeration, let alone directly saying Barcelona can be closer to trophy because it is influenced by one player. Basically Barcelona without Rodri can still win the La Liga title. People are optimistic about Rodri's presence because what they see is not the Barcelona squad but the Spanish national team squad.

Regarding your question, I think almost everyone would say that the La Liga title will definitely go to either Real Madrid or Barcelona. It’s been that way for a long time, my friend. Although there’s Atlético Madrid, this team hasn’t been able to stop the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the title race. Moreover, Atlético Madrid’s performance is often inconsistent, which ultimately leaves them fighting only for a spot in the Champions League. In the end, the La Liga title is contested only by Real Madrid or Barcelona. That’s just the reality.

I think it's obvious even from the way these teams operate in the transfer market. While Barcelona and Real Madrid are actively strengthening their squads and bringing in new players for positions where they need reinforcements, Atlético are trying to keep some players who want to leave. I think the situation with Álvarez demonstrates this very well. Álvarez has been saying since the beginning of the summer that he wants to move to Barcelona, while Atlético are trying to keep him and doing everything they can to prevent the transfer from happening.

[Sarah Azhari]

From the reports, they'll likely sign the Columbian striker if they fail to get the signature of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez before next midweek.

Yes, it’s true that Barcelona is targeting Luis Suarez as an alternative option because the move for Julian Alvarez is unlikely to happen, given that Atlético Madrid refuses to let him go by setting an unreasonable price. I think Barcelona is bringing in Luis Suarez as a stopgap measure because, no matter what, Barcelona still considers Alvarez their top target and will continue to court him to join the club next season. So, for now, Barcelona is forced to sign Suarez first because they’re short on strikers after letting Ferran Torres go to PSG.

I just think there is no need to force a player to come play with a club when the club is not interested in the deal. I feel Atletico Madrid felt threaten other than the disrespectful approach they think Alvarez displayed during the world cup plus the fact that Barcelona was backing him that he want to leave the club. If he want to leave the club, they are not to decide on his move, it's supposed to be between Alvarez and Atletico Madrid, they seems like a compromised in my opinion.

Luis Suarez is cheaper than Alvarez and if they further bargain, the contract will be sealed off immediately. The guy is even versatile, he can play winger and striker. At worst day, he can represent Barcelona and they will do well. Sporting will be quick to deal with them because they know it's their only chance as well, the longer a player stay at the club, it dies off gradually.

I think that’s just how things go. In fact, many clubs have experienced the same situation, such as Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. Besides, Alvarez actually wants to join Barcelona and he’s made that clear. It’s just that Atlético Madrid is the one holding him back by setting an unreasonable price. After all, the decision lies with Atlético Madrid, not Alvarez, since he’s still under contract. But, let’s set the Alvarez issue aside for now because, in reality, it’s impossible for Barcelona to sign him this season. Barcelona is now almost certain to sign Luis Suárez, and reports indicate that Barcelona and Sporting are finalizing the contract details regarding his transfer. This is so Suárez can join Barcelona as soon as possible and be registered with La Liga without delay.

Seriously the hype is not longer there. I must confess that I didn't know La Liga has kicked off, I thought it still preseason match. Premier league can never kick off this way while everywhere is silent. To make it worse, it started with chaos just like the recently concluded world cup that kicked off with bunch of red cards.

The league is responsible for this gradual diminishing. They only promote and push El classico match but allow the remaining ones to feel less important to watch. It is not even worth arguing compare this league to Premier league. If it is more competitive, everyone will be talking about it actually. You'll notice the change in this board when Premier league kick off in the coming days.

Losing Álvarez could have a significant impact on Atlético Madrid, and I hope it doesn't happen, especially since the club hasn't been very aggressive in pursuing the players they need during this transfer window.
This stands in contrast to their two rivals, who have been quite active in the market and have successfully signed several new players.
Consequently, the title race will almost certainly be a battle between those two teams, as Atlético Madrid lacks the strength and solidity to break their dominance.
Ultimately, Atlético Madrid will likely only be fighting for a Champions League spot, with virtually no chance of challenging for the title.

[Curious T]

If he want to leave the club, they are not to decide on his move, it's supposed to be between Alvarez and Atletico Madrid, they seems like a compromised in my opinion.

The club that he wants to join should not be involved? Barcelona is the only club where, whenever they want to sign a player, people see them as the bad guys and claim they disrespected the other club. Atletico Madrid just signed Cristian Romero from Tottenham. The player told Tottenham he wanted to join Atletico, and they negotiated. That is how deals are made. Alvarez told Atletico Madrid he wants to leave, and Atletico were the ones who even disrespected Barcelona with their rant on Social Media. Barcelona are not going after a player that doesn't want to leave; the player has made it clear that he does not want to remain at Atletico, so why is Atletico acting like what Barcelona is doing is new?

According to Alvarez's camp, they had a discussion with Atletico before the end of the season and agreed that they would let Alvarez go if that was what he wanted, and if the right offer came, now they have refused to keep their word. That's bad. I don't see what Barcelona has done wrong here. They are simply going after a player they want, and the player also wants them.

Losing Álvarez could have a significant impact on Atlético Madrid, and I hope it doesn't happen, especially since the club hasn't been very aggressive in pursuing the players they need during this transfer window.

They signed more players than both Barcelona and Madrid in the two previous transfer windows, so it's normal they are not going after more players this window. That aside, even with Alvarez, they are still not going to do anything meaningful this season. A couple of wins against Madrid and Barcelona, and that is it. It's still most likely going to be a season without a trophy for them. Alvarez is a player I like, and I want the best for him, and currently, Barcelona is the best option. I never wanted him to join Atletico in the first place because I knew nothing would come of it. Atletico Madrid is not a serious club.
