La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Obulis]

La Liga has just started and 2 teams have already managed to collect 3 points, Alaves and Sevilla. These two teams managed to get 3 points in the opening match of La Liga..

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.

Indisputable how that they started it well and will as much as possible try to sustain that tempo but the starting of the season is almost like the preseason matches, keeping this tempo is the big deal which they may or may not be able to keep. But then it is a thing of joy for the players, manager, company and fans to start winning from the start and hoping to keep winning as the season progresses.

Not a balanced game with the promotion team that is Malaga, whereas we know Atletico Madrid is a tough team that cannot lose alone, I see the odds from the bookies for Atletico Madrid @1.33 can be said to be a victory on paper.

Julian Alvarez is not in the squad, is this because the negotiation process with Barcelona is still ongoing?

According to leaks, he will be on the bench until the end of the transfer window so that if he is on the pitch he will not be subjected to boos from Atletico fans. It is assumed that when the transfer window closes, he and the fans will have no choice and everything will return to normal without unnecessary stress. I wonder if this will apply only to Atlético's home games or to away games as well? We'll only find out in the third round, as Atlético plays at home again in the second round, this time against Villarreal.

The Alvarez situation remains unclear. If we go by Simeone’s press conference, he stated that the reason Alvarez missed Atlético Madrid’s season opener was because he wasn’t yet in top shape after the World Cup. However, I’m more inclined to believe the leaked report you mentioned, that the real reason behind Alvarez’s absence has more to do with rumors about his transfer, since Atlético Madrid is doing everything in its power to prevent him from leaving the club. Let’s see if Alvarez’s absence is purely due to fitness issues or if it’s related to him pushing for a move to Barcelona, which led to him being punished by his team.

It was brilliant performance from Atletico in the second half of the game
 They were able to score two world class goals. Baena goal was from a fantastic free kick on the 85th minutes of the game to double their lead and seal up their victory. It's a good start for them this season as they get their first three points in their opening match.

it was their new signing Kang In, that impressed me the most. That player is going to be a utility player for Atletico Madrid this season. His opener was fantastic, with the way he carried that ball and shoot it past the keeper. The match was looking like it was heading for a draw before that individual brilliance movement from Kang. My only problem with Atletico Madrid is that they will start the season very well, but they can’t maintain the tempo till the end of the season.

Lee Kang-In has been adapting to Atlético Madrid after leaving Paris Saint-Germain and has had a great start. He scored a beautiful goal and, in my opinion, signaled that he will have a great season with Atlético Madrid. Julian Alvarez made good observations during his transfer to Atlético Madrid, and I think he did so based on those observations. Of course, it's too early to say anything definitively, but in South Korea, the player adapted to his team quickly. I think we will see even better matches from him. He will have the breakthrough at Atlético Madrid that he couldn't achieve at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Korean midfielder performed brilliantly in his first match for Atlético Madrid. The fans in the gallery celebrated his performance with great enthusiasm. The absence of Julian Alvarez from the match due to rest did not make the other players feel the void, especially the midfielders, when they come up and become aggressive to score goals, the team becomes stronger.
The surprise that Atlético Madrid showed in the first match of this season is a sign that they have formed a strong team and are fully prepared to fight on equal terms with stronger opponents.

If you consider the second goal, I was surprised to see how precise and powerful the shot was by another Spanish midfielder Álex Baena and I admire his talent.

Atletico Madrid were praised by everyone for their performance yesterday because they played well and had a very good start to the season. I remember they didn't have a good start last year either. This year they can turn things around. They played very well in the first match and the players generally made a good impression. What happens in the second matches will be shown later. We saw how good the South Korean player is in yesterday's match. Hopefully, with this performance, he will be a player who helps Atletico Madrid achieve success this year.

I think it’s no longer relevant to discuss Alvarez’s departure to Barcelona, ​​maybe to another club, but definitely not to Barcelona. Barcelona spent their money in this transfer window and I wouldn't be surprised if they again trick/strain to register all the players. Let's say Atletico agrees to sell Alvarez not for 150 million, but let's imagine for 110 - where will Barcelona get the money? Plus, he will definitely want to receive a salary commensurate with his star status, even if it is half of Rodri’s salary, that would amount to 15 million a year. For Barcelona this is unrealistic.
But in any case, according to the club’s decision, he remains at Atletico.

Barcelona squad isn't strong enough to win UCL because we have quite a good number of stronger teams in UCL. If not because of the laxity and misunderstanding in Real Madrid, I don't think that Barcelona would have been able to win Laliga back to back

I only consider Barcelona stronger in Laliga due to the weakness of their rival Real Madrid. However, let's see how far they will go this season in both competitions.

Barcelona are strong and can fight to win the Liga again, certainly in the Champions League there are other teams stronger than them, but never say never there can always be a nice surprise. Real Madrid has strengthened itself and i think they can't make mistakes again in La Liga or even in the Champions League. It will be a good challenge.

The battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga is going to be even tougher this time, as both teams have become significantly stronger this season, and that is why the battle will be even more interesting, although I have some doubts about the Barcelona forward right now, but they might look into this. Let's see where the team goes as the transfer window ends.
Madrid can now start the season with a good performance if only they can somehow stabilize the unstable state of their team. They have good players, but now they need to keep unity among those players, if unity is maintained, then the team can definitely go in a good position.

Barcelona definitely needs a striker. They wanted to sign Julian Alvarez, but Atletico Madrid wouldn't let him go. Barcelona couldn't find an alternative striker to replace him. Moreover, they sold Ferran to Paris Saint-Germain. Now it's time to acquire a good striker. With time running out, Barcelona absolutely needs a crucial player to join the race. Otherwise, they will fall behind Real Madrid, who have a well-established squad and excellent alternatives in many positions.

Well let us see how their first match will be but before then we'll know the performance of Barcelona in the 27 of this month with Athletic club. This season will be a tough season for all the teams. From the first two months of the season, we will know who is who in the cycle. Real Madrid will not allow Barcelona to top the lead this time around but it will depends on their performance.

Real Betis vs Real Sociedad match tomorrow, from their previous encounters, Real Betis has won more matches than Real Sociadad. But if I am predicting in this year, I will choose draw or Sociadad to win. Because some of their performance in last season were good.

Atletico Madrid were praised by everyone for their performance yesterday because they played well and had a very good start to the season. I remember they didn't have a good start last year either. This year they can turn things around. They played very well in the first match and the players generally made a good impression. What happens in the second matches will be shown later. We saw how good the South Korean player is in yesterday's match. Hopefully, with this performance, he will be a player who helps Atletico Madrid achieve success this year.

The South Korean talented has caught everyone's attention as he has put in an impressive performance in his first match for Atletico Madrid. Another thing that I found impressive about the match is that the two goals were not scored by any strikers, but by two midfielders. When a team has more than one attacking midfielder, it is beneficial for the defense as well as for the forwards.
They showed great impact and won against the weaker team Málaga in the opening match of the tournament. I think it remains to be seen how well they can do in the remaining matches of the season. It remains to be seen how they perform in the next match against the stronger team Villarreal.

[bangjoe]

Indisputable how that they started it well and will as much as possible try to sustain that tempo but the starting of the season is almost like the preseason matches, keeping this tempo is the big deal which they may or may not be able to keep. But then it is a thing of joy for the players, manager, company and fans to start winning from the start and hoping to keep winning as the season progresses.
 

You should see that Sevilla play not so good, 2 goals are created only relying on penalty kicks the rest are just opportunities that do not make a single goal, so about the tempo you call it does not seem so proud, there are a lot of things that must be improved by Sevilla in this early game, In general, for the first two matches Alaves showed a much better match, although they had to drain their opponent's energy first to be able to create more goals, the state of the enemy who was weak because their stamina was running out, it was not a bad idea as a strategy.

[Sim_card]

It was their new signing Kang In, that impressed me the most. That player is going to be a utility player for Atletico Madrid this season. His opener was fantastic, with the way he carried that ball and shoot it past the keeper. The match was looking like it was heading for a draw before that individual brilliance movement from Kang. My only problem with Atletico Madrid is that they will start the season very well, but they can’t maintain the tempo till the end of the season.

Even if they maintain the tempo till the end of the season, it doesn't mean that they will win the title because they have Real Madrid and Barcelona who are stronger than them and they've proved that times without number. The problem with Atletico is that, they just believe that they cannot do better than Real Madrid and Barcelona.

[Out of mind]

Atletico Madrid have performed well in the opening match of this season due to which they have won and collected important three points. With these points, they will have confidence and plan to do better in the upcoming matches. Atletico Madrid can dominate La Liga very well, they are strong enough, their performance is amazing. Atletico Madrid is a very scary name in La Liga where teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid are very scared to play against them. However, if Atletico Madrid can continue their winning streak, then they will definitely be able to finish the season in a good position from the beginning to the end. However, they will have to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, which will be very difficult.

[nikola22]

I have been able to mention for a long time in this match that the players of the Atletico Madrid team are not very experienced. Because in the beginning they could not attack much before half time, they were able to score a goal in the 70th minute and that was easy. Kang -in Lee kicked from outside the box and it got caught in the net of the goalpost, the second goal was scored by Baena he scored the goal with a free kick.
So in a simple equation I can say that the players of the Malaga team are not very experienced, which was proven in this match but they played quite defensively in the beginning. After the player change, Atletico Madrid was able to create a lot of pressure and succeeded there.

I don't think Atletico Madrid are not very experienced. most of the players have either been with the club for a long time or have previously played for other teams. a slow start is common for Atletico but that doesn't mean the team is inexperienced. Atletico often puts pressure on their opponents late in matches as we saw in this one.

Not like I underestimated them but, I didn’t see any possibility of Malaga getting a win or even a draw from their Atletico Madrid fixture. It is both their first game of the new season and Atletico Madrid would be looking to start strong and see how far they can go. This would mean having to beat Malaga and get their first 3 points of the season and that’s what they have done so cleanly. Beating them to a 2:0 scoreline, first win and first clean sheet.

I agree about Malaga's victory - there was no chance but the visitors could have taken home a goalless draw if not for the outstanding individual performances of Lee Kang-In and Baena. of course, Malaga had a difficult start because they were immediately drawn against a strong opponent. but we saw that the team knows how to fight and should earn points against weaker opponents.

Atletico Madrid made is known for signing good players is not a surprise to see their new signing doing so well in their first game but they need to dominate game and score goals early unlike how their game turned out yesterday they opened the scoring too later but they eventually won by 2:0. Last season wasn't too good for them despite winning against Real Madrid and beating Barcelona in the cup game but as they started well in their opening game it is assumed that they will do well this season.

Robert Lewandowski is no longer at Barcelona, ​​Marcus Rashford has returned to Manchester United, they have sold Ferran Torres to PSG, their forwards can never survive on Lamine Yamal and Raphinha alone. There are only 10 days left until the transfer window closes, but Barcelona has not taken any steps to strengthen the forwards, since Julián Alvarez is not expected, so now they should find an alternative, Julián Alvarez was the right choice to replace Robert Lewandowski, but since it did not happen, let's see what alternative Barca can find now. However, if they want to beat Madrid this season, then Barcelona will definitely have to fix the forwards, because it is never possible to beat Madrid with this forward, if Madrid starts playing stably.

Barcelona still remain the favorites to win La Liga in the 2026/27 season, and I think they will go far in the Champions League this season compared to last season. If you look at the players they signed in the transfer window, you will see that they have strengthened positions that are key and which were affected because of injuries and the fitness level of the available players too. Anthony Gordon, who can play as a left winger and also as a center forward, is a huge addition that will strengthen the attack and boost forward play, especially because he plays direct and he is good on 1v1. Another good signing, Karim Adeyemi, has good pace and also plays excellently in 1v1s too and creates good chances. Then the Ballon d'Or winner and one of the best midfielders in the world, and arguably the best midfielder of his generation, Rodri, will be a huge determinant of how far Barca will go in the Champions League because of his level of experience and midfield dominance. Rodri also plays alongside most of the Barca players on the Spain team, so the understanding is already there. A fit Rodri alongside the amazing midfielders already in the team would dominate every match. Barca would pose a great challenge in the Champions League this season, and I strongly believe that the UCL is their main goal of the season.

Atletico Madrid might not be the favorite to win trophies in the Laliga but they keep proving their ability to compete with the top two dominant teams. We can't completely underestimate them because they have pulled out surprises on different occasions. We won't completely blame them for starting most season well and in the heat of the season they begin to underperform, most times other teams try harder to find their spot in the league and it becomes even more difficult to keep up the pace.

To be honest atletico have won some seasons that looked barca or madrid’s at the start of the season, laliga is an unpredictable league and at the same time it is also predictable. Atletico’s fight against Real and Barca will be very enjoyable and exciting but i see both barca and madrid coming on the top, they are the league favourites for me, i as a barca fan support barca but my mind says that mourinho is gonna pull some magic and lead Madrid to a legaue title, hut thats just a guess and i will fully support barca.

No true fan will leave his team and go side a different team even if they not in their best performance that season. As for Barcelona, they're good to go for the title but let them not underestimate Real Madrid because they currently, have a world class topnotch coach to lead them to the title.

Barcelona still have strikers issue. They don't have a finisher yet which might later, affect them or are they planning to recruit one from their academy.

As usual that what they use to do just to avoid the spending and bring out their academy ballers to play the roles for them so they will not spend much or try to buy players, how Barca is now they need a striker that will take all his chances and buried them, even when they have the good wingers but they need attacker that will be sharp and do all other stuff for them if not, they will find it difficult.

Real Madrid sound prepared for season lately because of the signing lately and recruit the players that are misbehaving and put them in shape, with this man that is handling them now I think they will perform better and make  lilage more interesting.

Not a balanced game with the promotion team that is Malaga, whereas we know Atletico Madrid is a tough team that cannot lose alone, I see the odds from the bookies for Atletico Madrid @1.33 can be said to be a victory on paper.

Julian Alvarez is not in the squad, is this because the negotiation process with Barcelona is still ongoing?

According to leaks, he will be on the bench until the end of the transfer window so that if he is on the pitch he will not be subjected to boos from Atletico fans. It is assumed that when the transfer window closes, he and the fans will have no choice and everything will return to normal without unnecessary stress. I wonder if this will apply only to Atlético's home games or to away games as well? We'll only find out in the third round, as Atlético plays at home again in the second round, this time against Villarreal.

Maybe that will be truth because it can happen since the negotiation with Barcelona is still going on, he won't be on the pitch till they are done with what they are negotiating if it turn out to be the one that he will need to stay in the team he will continue playing the match, and as you said already its true  when the negotiation is over and we all see how it ended, by then he will appeared in the pitch and play, I just hope he play as we know him, because it seems the player want to leave the team.
