La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

That is why, even though this reality will certainly be a bit bitter for Real Madrid, it seems they have a lower chance of winning the title compared to Barcelona.

The season has just begun, it's still too early to say that Real Madrid has a lower chance of winning the La Liga trophy compared to Barca based solely on the last 2 matches... Real Madrid also performed very well in their last 2 matches, and Mourinho has not finished building Real Madrid and plans to bring in new players to strengthen their team.. So, there are still many possibilities that can happen and I don't think we can draw any conclusions yet because both of them are equally strong. Let's just see until the middle of this season who is able to maintain their consistency, whether Barca or Real Madrid.

People don't still agree that it's still very early to predict which team is going to win the La Liga, regardless of the performance Barcelona or Real Madrid will show at the moment it's still early to say one of them will win.

The best thing is to wait and see what this two clubs will do in the next coming matches, their points is not very far from each other that we will say they can't catch up each other anymore, anything can still happen it's a football so it's better to wait and see.

Offcource it's early to predict the winner but if you see the discipline and the passion in any team which is the main thing to lead to win the trophy and I see Barcelona have that passion and discipline. Real Madrid is not bad at all but they have problems and they need to be sort out if they want to win anything big this season but Barcelona are looking very promising and a perfect team I know they have the proper Number 9 issue but they will soon sort out that's problems.

League winner are just like a marathon you need to be consistent until the end of the season and that's what's I see in Barcelona player they are very much lock in and they have the passion and discipline to win it again. But there is still time for Madrid to make count himself in that's list.

With the ongoing saga of Jurian Alvarez, Athletico Madrid have reportedly told Alvarez they are not selling him to a rival club like Barcelona. With the attitude of Alvarez in this whole situation, it is very obvious that the player has attitude problems, and with this kind of behavior, I doubt if most teams will be going for him again. He had agreement with Athletico, but now he has chosen to fail the agreement they had. I even heard he has formed to be sick, sending the doctor's report that he is diagnosed of depression. This really sounds crazy because he wants to move by all means. At the end of the day, he will end up being frustrated, and this will certainly affect his career.

The club should just allow him to go, keeping him in the club to try to frustrate him won’t help them both in the end, one side will be cheated if they don’t come to an agreement and let him leave quickly. When there is an agreement on ground and both parties decides not to be able to keep up with the agreement, it is said that the new agreement should be what favours both sides and not keep one side cheated on.

The more they keep him in the club, the more they keep paying him without playing and then that will affect his career but not as much as they will lose a lot of money. Alvarez is a good player and striker, any team that gets to have him now will strengthen their forward position more. I am looking forward to see the team he’ll join form here Ben not Barcelona in the end.

This whole saga going on btw Julian Alvarez and ATM just seems very irrelevant coz the truth is that it will be affecting them both at the end...If Alvarez keeps on with this is unwillingness and he doesn't play up to standard, ATM may not even make it to the top 3 since individual players performance really matters... And also this could even make his ratings and market value will drop down and ATM will have no option than to sell him for a more lower price due to their initial stubbornness..  And in the case of Alvarez, Barcelona may not even want him anymore if his value drops down...I know for sure that Alvarez had his two eyes open when he signed the contract, but that shouldn't still make the club keep him since the player isn't willing to be at the club anymore...Carezo as well as the whole of ATM's management are very stubborn, so I don't even see Alvarez remaining in the Spanish league even if they later decides to sell him...They did the same thing to Kun Aguero, so I don't see why Alvarez case will be any different... If I was Alvarez I would completely remove my mind form ever joining Barcelona coz ATM will never allow it, Arsenal may even be good for him, who knows?

I don’t think we should be discussing who will win the league at this point, unless someone is making a bet on who wins the league that’s their choice, they can give it a try, they might get lucky.

There are a lot of things that comes to play to determine the team that eventually wins the Laliga. Good we already know the competition is between two teams— the two biggest giants of the league. Now we have to look at injuries, fatigue, form and determination even a little bit of luck has a part to play.

Right now both teams are in good form though Barcelona are the more locked in team, Madrid is still getting it together.

Once again I was right about Villarreal having a hard time with Alaves and possibly losing the match even though it wasn’t a literal whooping but a disciplined and clinical win for Alaves.

I feel like Villarreal is gonna have a hard time dealing with Alaves tonight, heck they might even get whooped by if they are not careful.

What do y’all think?

Their match was proof that possessions and shots don’t really mean much when it’s not converted into goals.

Good win for Alaves though.

Villarreal need to up their game ASAP cos the way they are starting this new season looks very underwhelming.

They need to start converting those opportunities they get in their matches into goals and wins soon, that’s if they still wanna stay in the European conversation.

Barcelona is currently trying to get back into a much better form. They performed much better in this match than in the last match, they have become quite strong in defense. They look much better in attack, if they can maintain their performance and improve themselves further in the upcoming matches and fill the weak spots more strongly, then their confidence will increase. Lamime Yamal is trying to get into a lot of good form, however, it takes time to adapt to the team's players in a few matches. Since new players have been added to the team, there is a need for a bond between the players, which may take some time for the players to understand. However, when a good bond is created between the players and the team as a whole, the team will come back stronger, and each player will definitely improve their position in the upcoming matches.

They want to do all their possible best to be one of the top teams in the league this season, which is why they’re trying to get back to their good form. Getting back into their better form not mean but consistency is the matter, because this is just the beginning of the season we never know how the season can goes fully.

But shal let hope for them since Barcelona always make sure they keep their performances improving against any of their opponents, am expecting their upcoming matches to be more tough than this.

It is just tradition for Barca to start the season with very high expectations but the hard and stressful part is to stay consistent with the same tempo of play for 9 good months. It looks like the defense has gotten tougher compared to last season, when they were conceding easy goals due to defensive errors. I just hope none of the key players, like the likes of Yamal and Pedri don't get sidelined by injury as the season progresses. With the new faces in the squad, obviously the chemistry will not be easy to build, but trust Barcelona, they will eventually click when it matters the most.

Actually, I think Barcelona will gel together faster because they haven't made too many transfers. They only signed a few players, and I think these new additions will adapt quickly. They have a young squad, and this squad has been playing together for years. It seems like there have been some improvements or strengthenings in the defensive area as well. We're seeing a much better defense in matches now. Barcelona hasn't even conceded a goal in the two matches they've played so far.

Barcelona has only played one game against Elche which they won 5-0 away from home. I don't also see why you said that they have strengthen their defense because you cannot know that with only a match that they played with a weak team.

Barcelona should prove to the world that they have a better squad by winning UCL this season. I feel that their squad isn't strong enough.

If Barcelona wins against a weak team in a match, I wouldn't say that the team is very strong. But if they keep a clean sheet in multiple matches, it is clear that the team is not weak. Winning a match by 5 goals against Elche and 2 goals against Athletic Club is not an ordinary win. Moreover, the new players who have joined Barcelona this season will definitely be able to take the team's position to a higher level. Just as there are doubts about whether Barcelona can win the UCL or not, everyone now understands that the team is stronger than before. The inclusion of Rodri, Joao Cancelo, Anthony Gordon and some other prominent players will make the team even more stronger. Although they have kept a clean sheet against weak teams at the beginning, we have to wait and see what will happen against strong teams.

With the attitude of Alvarez in this whole situation, it is very obvious that the player has attitude problems, and with this kind of behavior, I doubt if most teams will be going for him again. He had agreement with Athletico, but now he has chosen to fail the agreement they had. I even heard he has formed to be sick, sending the doctor's report that he is diagnosed of depression. This really sounds crazy because he wants to move by all means. At the end of the day, he will end up being frustrated, and this will certainly affect his career.

I don't understand why Atletico Madrid are acting like them, and Barcelona have not been doing business in the past. Because I can't understand where this "not selling to a rival club" is coming from. Barcelona have sold players like Suarez and Villa to Atletico, and Atletico have sold players like Turan and Griezmann to Barcelona, so why now, all of a sudden, do they remember they are a rival club? Barcelona even terminated the contracts of Lenglet, so that Atletico can sign him for free.

Even if they are a rival club, if the player says he does not want to go to any other club than Barcelona, and you are not able to convince him to remain at your club or join another club, you have to let him go. Forcing a player to stay at a club has never ended well. You can only try to convince a player to stay, you can't force him. People are saying, "But he has a contract" Yes, so does every other player who is signed from another club. Atletico Madrid fans are already tired of Alvarez, they want him gone and rightly so. You can't want a player who clearly wants to leave.

Alvarez is not the first player to force a move out of his current club, and he won't be the last. Players like Modric, Balde, Isak, Gyokeres, Dembele and many more all forced a move out of their clubs at one point. So it's totally normal. When the clubs see that they can no longer convince the player to stay, they had to sell. What they do is negotiate with the club and get a favorable amount for the player.

[giorgione]

This is still the problem that Madrid is facing ( conceding unnecessary goals and then giving weaker opponents opportunities to thrive). I know Madrid won by a fine margin, but they didn't perform to my expectations, they didn't win that game smoothly just like Barca did to Elche. Like you said "they struggled in the first half ",which I didn't expect them to, because they have the best squad in Laliga now.

I think Madrid still has this mentality of late win, they can't dominate the game from start to end. Madrid must flee from such tactics and start winning games like a team ready to win the UCL.

We are talking about a team that has just revolutionized half of its squad with a coach who has just arrived and with everything to play for. Consequently, it is normal that perhaps the first performances are less convincing because the team must also be able to play well with each other. And its something that happens only by giving it time so as to build the necessary experience.

Although they have kept a clean sheet against weak teams at the beginning, we have to wait and see what will happen against strong teams.

From what I have been able to see in these first two competitive matches, Barcelona play much better without Lewandowski, and the players they have signed are of an extremely high technical standard; so if that’s the case, the team play better without a centre-forward; just as they did when Messi was there: better technical players, quick on their feet and clinical in front of goal. It’s no coincidence that things went badly for Ibrahimović back then, because he was too much of a centre-forward, a role Barcelona didn’t need.

[aipercoin]

Barca have a very solid and formidable squad this season with the latest signings they've made in the transfer window, it is only clear that the club is going towards the right direction. They are very good with the kind of midfield they have now at the club,  especially with the signing of Rodri combined with the already existing midfield of Pedri and Dani almo, they will really make statements this season.  
It will be very hard for Madrid to see their back, despite the signings that Madrid have made because theyve  really added much players to their collection this season and that will even make the competition between the two clubs much intensed. I will be very exited when watching the Elclassico this season.

Barcelona have a strong team, they only need a strong first striker and then they would be perfect. It has an excellent midfield and with the addition of Rodri it is even stronger.
It will be a good challenge between Barcelona and Real Madrid, we will see who will win the championship between the two of them. When the Barcelona match against Real Madrid takes place it will be a spectacle.

[banana33]

This is the reason why am expecting this La Liga this season should be very tough one as Real Madrid has well prepared to fight any of their opponents especially Barcelona, which I know that Barcelona will do all their possible best to prevent Real Madrid from challenging them, both the teams are going to drag this beginning of this season crazy.

Right from the first goal of Barcelona I knew that their going to win the game against Athletico Bilbao, base however their confidence in that match and beside, Athletico Bilbao is not team that have the power to challenge Barcelona; which is why they find it difficult to equalize back.

I see Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Barcelona as the possible finalists for this Champions League. They are the most complete teams in terms of personnel, in terms of play and in terms of performance. So i would say that the victory could go to one of these teams. However, we will also need to evaluate them in the championship to get an idea.
I presume that even this season, if things haven't changed as they should, Barcelona, in addition to having a chance in the Champions League, has a better chance of winning the Championship, Real Madrid doesn't seem to be showing signs of danger at the moment, now it's too early, we'll certainly find out later.

I watched the second half of Barcelona vs. Athletic, just as Rodri came on, and I wasn't impressed with his performance at all. He couldn't get to the ball in time, he was losing possession, and even the social media sites that usually boost Barcelona gave him a 6.8, meaning he was mediocre. On the one hand, you could say he needs time to settle into new place, but on the other hand, he's playing with his national teammates. He may not have fully recovered from his back problems yet, but he still hasn't lived up to expectations, so we'll see what happens next.

Real Madrid has no problems as it stands now, Jose and the Real Madrid management has sort each and every one of the players differences so they are having no issues now, the fact is the both teams look all set for the Spanish La Liga title this season, and I'm still rooting for Real Madrid this time, the only way you can try to convince me that Barcelona looks like the favorite for the title is, they are yet to get a good striker but still playing good, aside that I don't see anything outstanding that made you believe such.

[bastisisca]

I don't think anyone was in doubt that Barcelona was going to win the game. They started the season well and that was expected to continue. A two goal win may be disappointing to people who made bets on the number of goals to be scored. Regardless of the small number of goals, it is three points in the end for Hansi Flick and his team.

The Real Madrid of this season is different from the Real Madrid of last season, Barcelona need a better performance if they are to defend their title and win it again.

But the fact that a team doesn't score the goals that one hopes that team will score is a problem only for those who bet. For a team to score two goals and win 2-0 is a result that is fine in the end in terms of scoring and positioning in the table. Obviously a match with more goals is more fun to watch, but clubs look at the points they can score.

[kennycryptoitalia]

Sociedad had 10 shots. Their performance wasn't actually that bad, but when faced with a strong and high-quality team like Real Madrid, they couldn't fully showcase their strength. Real Madrid beat them 4-1, making better use of their opportunities. Mbappé showed the difference a player makes. Real Madrid's biggest advantage is having a player like Mbappé. I think even if Real Sociedad had played better, they couldn't have stopped Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has a lot to prove, the stakes are far too high, due to the changes that have taken place in the last period in the summer transfer phase and the change of coach. Real Madrid certainly has more to lose. For this reason he must convince with performances and good play, the only thing to do on the part of the fans and the management is to give him a period of time, even the first two months of play are enough, beyond which they must demonstrate improvement, otherwise it will have been yet another waste of time.

Before the start of the Spanish league Mbappe firmly said that they will win the trophy but he did not specify which tournament he will win. It seems to me that he was talking about the Spanish league. Real Madrid played impressively in their second match, it is true, but it is not yet time to say that there is no problem between them. The fact that there is no problem in Real Madrid must be proven by achieving success and this task will be done by manager Mourinho. He is initially taking a step towards taking the team to a good level but it cannot be said for sure right now that he will not succeed because the team has many internal problems and these problems may not be possible to solve in a very short time. There is a positive outlook especially after the result of the last match with Real Sociedad. A significant reason that keeps Real Madrid ahead in the possibility of winning the trophy is the lack of a striker in Barcelona ​​which they are currently unable to realize. The team has not yet been able to fill the void left by Robert Lewandowski. During the tournament, Barca top players are likely to suffer injuries and the team's strength will not be as strong as it is now.

I don't doubt Real Madrid when they play against the smaller teams in La Liga. But I want to see later when Madrid has to face Atletico or Barcelona; that's the real test. If Real Madrid can win, I feel confident that they will be the favorites to win the title this season. Clearly, Mourinho is making a big difference. Madrid's star players have to trust him. His strict rules and discipline have been evident so far. Hopefully, Mourinho can make changes in many difficult situations. This is really helpful to get the players back in shape and avoid a lot of injuries. I see that right now, Madrid also has a better list of players than last season. It means they probably won't have a hard time if the player is injured.

Exactly they should be able to prove it by winning the Champions League, in their first match I considered it a very good beginning but with a weak team I'm not confused. I want to see more challenge in front of Barcelona before I can agree that they are in a very good condition, every one know that Elche are not strong opponent for Barcelona, that is why a lot of football fans were no surprised with the goals they scored. This season is going to be a challenge for them because real Madrid are back on their feet to correct the mistakes of the past, most especially against Barcelona.

The main priority is the domestic league. Winning the Champions League is a bigger vision. Barcelona is stronger theoretically. In practice, they are stronger in Spain, not in Europe. Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and PSG remain the strongest teams in all of Europe. Champions League football will determine the team lookin more stronger to win the trophy. Real Madrid is a big challenge for Barcelona in the league. Real Madrid were weak last season that made Barcelona raced the title alone. In this season, Real Madrid will race Barcelona to the title.
