La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[len01]

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.

This is only the beginning of the season, and Barcelona didn’t face the right opponents in their previous two matches. So, keeping clean sheets in those two games is not particularly impressive to me. I just want to wait until Barcelona face Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal. If Barcelona can keep clean sheets in those matches, then I can acknowledge that there has been a significant improvement in their defense.

[giammangiato]

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.

Analyzing the teams to date for the Spanish Championship at the moment Barcelona is the one that on paper and therefore only theoretically, has the greatest chance. But in the Spanish league, it's nothing new for the "usual" teams to compete and compete for the championship.
In the Champions League it's a completely different story, surely he might have some chance (on Arsenal last year yes from the start of the season, which by mid-season no one believed he could reach the final), so to think that Barcelona have or don't have the chance now is too early to determine.
The usual teams competing for the title are present in the Champions League, PSG currently seems lost, Bayer Monaco I think is the most motivated to reach the final, but all the other teams present won't be watching them, even Como paradoxically would like to win the title even knowing they don't have a team worthy of the BIGs.

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.

Your prediction was right about this match. Villarreal, who dominated the match with their possession & attacking play, ultimately lost to Alaves.

Image Source: Google

Given the statistics shown in the image above, it's clear that Alaves has a strong defense, just as you said. The result on matchday #3 means Villarreal has yet to secure a full 3 points in any match, having earned only 1 point each on matchday #1 & matchday #2. They really need to get their act together if they want to achieve the same results they did last season.

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.

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.

Barcelona are in the process of proving it because starting a season with good statistics is a very good sign that they are in good condition. Even in the Champions League, I have some level of confidence that Barcelona will go far this season and probably may win it. But at this point, we can't say whether Barcelona can win the Champions League or not. The point is that, with the current squad they have now, there will seriously be improvement in the squad, and likely, they will never be disqualified at the quarter-final stage like they have always been. This season, you are saying that Barcelona will face challenges. They have been facing challenges over the past two seasons, and they have won it back to back.At the beginning, Real Madrid always started well. It is when the season is going far that Real Madrid's form does drop. In fact, in the last two seasons, Real Madrid have always had chances of topping the table, but the point is that they don't stay there for the long term due to a lack of consistency. So, even this season, I expect La Liga to be challenging.

[Crakryptvest]

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.

A football club that signed more quality players in their teams will definitely expect more from their coach and the team entirely, Mourinho has won two matches, whether it was difficult for him to win the first game or not, what the fans needed is winning and hope for improvement as the season continues to kick.

I don't think any fan, will complain about their second match of the season which was with Real Sociedad, going by what we have seen, Realmadrid might do better than last season, and I  think it will be good, if we give them more time, to know what they have to play this season.

[Baki202]

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.

Barcelona is making an effort to perform at their highest level this season, and based on the games we have seen, they appear to be prepared. Everyone is doing exactly what they believe will be best for their club since they are aware of what they are up against. I do not doubt that Barcelona is serious about business this season since there is more for us to comprehend, and I am aware that they are aiming for both the Champions League and La Liga.

Since there is currently a lot of uncertainty over who will win La Liga, we can see the effort every side is making to see what trophy they can win this season. This is the mindset to start the season with. In actuality, Barcelona will do a lot of things differently, so many clubs need to exercise extreme caution. Conversely, since everyone is striving for the trophy, I don't anticipate anything different. This will even make the leagues more entertaining.

Youre right to some extent. It is correct that the teams barca has faced till now arent that good compared to other teams you mentioned like madrid, atletico or villareal but getting a clean sheet no matter what team you face is i believe a big deal. We have to consider that the teams barca faced aren’t that bad and low quality and they are above average teams, and as i said that a clean sheet against any team is a big deal le alone an above average team. But they haven’t been much entertaining for me, i am just too excited to see the clashes of barca with the teams you mentioned and especially the elclasico

[Marykeller]

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.

It's few days remaining until the end of the transfer window, and no positive statements have been made about which club Alvarez is heading to in the short time. It will not be a good note that Alvarez is not let go before the end of the transfer window, after providing a medical test report that he feels depressed.

The test result can be true or false, but if someone's mind is not in the team he plays for any longer, it should be a reason to let them go rather than keeping them caged just to punish and frustrate them. Atletico Madrid should have a rethink of the action they want to take on Alvarez. I know that they want to teach Alvarez a lesson that he won't be the one to decide which club he has to go to before his contract ends in 2030

What are you even writing? Are you saying that these clubs aren't worthy sides?! These sameclubs Barcelona have played will suffer this Jose Mourinho side. Even with all these players, there's this boring football his side plays and they struggle to win games at the same time score goals. Barcelona keeping clean sheets in the past two fixtures is a good thing. At the same time they have the capacity to defeat both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. Funny enough, they have not brought in a replacement for the Uruguay defender Araujo.

Who says Barcelona’s squad isn’t strong enough? Did you know that Barcelona has gotten off to a great start in the league this season? In the two matches they’ve played so far, Barcelona has secured two wins, scoring 7 goals and not conceding any. Therefore, I predict that with the squad Barcelona has, they’ll have a great chance of winning La Liga and the Champions League. That’s my conviction.

It seems that he is a Real Madrid supporter or a Barcelona critic. That is why he is trying to belittle the performance without evaluating it. Elche and Athletic Bilbao may not be strong enough to judge Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona's performance is enough to prove themselves. Every team is strong at the beginning of the season, Real Madrid has also been seen struggling against Espanyol in the first match.

Barcelona's midfield and attack line are very strong, so their defense is not under much pressure. The pressure they are under is a sign of their ability to endure. They certainly have to prove themselves against the big teams, but from the performance of the first two matches, it can be assumed that they will be successful against the big teams as well. Dominating the entire match against Athletic Bilbao is not an easy task

Elche is a relatively easy team to beat Barcelona, but I disagree when Barcelona's win against Bilbao felt just as easy. Barcelona really struggled to win the game against Bilbao, not because they didn't play well, but the good defense of Bilbao made it difficult for Barcelona to score goals. Unai Simón recorded several brilliant saves throughout the match, but in the end Raphinha and Fermin had to make him pick up 2 goals from his net.

Barcelona have played well in their last two games, they deserve what they have to get instead of some kind of lack of appreciation. The match was quite interesting although Bilbao always failed to come out of high pressure. Bilbao failed to build many attacks, but I also agree that Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are equal opponents for the strength of Barcelona every season.

The fact that Sevilla which barely managed to stay in the league in the final weeks of last season has earned 6 points from its first two matches with very few new signings is one of the biggest surprises of the new season. Luck was also on their side in those two matches. Sevilla turned the game around against Rayo with two penalty kicks and came away with a win at San Mames thanks to an early red card for Athletic. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, dealing with the Julian Alvarez crisis, failed to get the results they wanted in their first two matches. The team is trying to adjust to life after Griezmann, and Kang-in Lee looks like he’ll be up to the task. I expect both teams to score, with Atletico ultimately coming out on top.

Real Madrid will play their third match against the promoted team today, meaning we can see that this team will face Malaga in their third match of the new La Liga season. The team has already made a strong start as they have won two matches in the early stages and have a reliable forward in the team because Kylian Mbappe already scored a hat-trick in their second match this season against last season's Copa del Rey winners Real Sociedad, we saw the player scored almost 25 goals in La Liga last season and has already scored three this season.

Therefore it's understandable that Jose Mourinho's team might play with great intensity against a relatively weak team like Malaga because they have the best defender, the best midfielder and the best forward at the moment.

It is obvious that in past two matches Barcelona keep very good defensive approach but in my opinion Barcelona defensive driving still bit sloppy like still there is lot of lacking in strength. Besides that Barcelona are using a possession build and due to this opponent didn't have find much more ball possion or even attempt on goal. So maybe this could also be the reason for last two better results......


Thus far, I also find out own more thing like Barcelona attacking was absolutely phenomenal like it's was even much more better than their defensive job. This season is gonna be bit hard for opponent to stop Barcelona like they recognize their attack in better pattern and definitely they will beat their opponent with attacking gear although their defense was not that good as attack.

So it looks like Alvarez is not going to play in Atletico Madrid's match against Sevilla. Simeone left him out of the squad for that game, and this is also the third straight day that Alvarez has not trained with the team.
Well, this is not surprising because he also no longer has the passion to play for Atletico Madrid. Although Simeone keeps saying that Alvarez is still receiving the team's full support, Alvarez's current situation does not lie, he just wants to leave Atletico Madrid as soon as possible and play for Barcelona.

In the two matches they’ve played so far, Barcelona has secured two wins, scoring 7 goals and not conceding any. Therefore, I predict that with the squad Barcelona has, they’ll have a great chance of winning La Liga and the Champions League. That’s my conviction.

And don't you think it's too early to make your prediction that Barcelona can go all the way and win the the UEFA Champions League competition this season?

This is a club that's never won the competition in the last 11 years and as we speak,  doesn't have a world class striker that can help them break that jinx.

They started early and have won two out of two league games but their Thursday win against Bilbao wasn't that convincing. Again, they're yet to face a strong team that can match their quality, we'll see how they perform when that happens.

[Sarah Azhari]

Raphinha has being the highlight for the Barca team at the start of the season, and Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid. Who would win the golden boot this season?

Wow, this is really something to look forward to. Raphinha and Mbappé have both scored three goals in La Liga so far. But I’m convinced that Mbappé will win the Golden Boot this season. For some reason, I feel that Mbappé has a better scoring instinct than Raphinha. Plus, Raphinha is playing center forward this season, a position he’s never played before. Mbappé, on the other hand, has already proven himself to be Real Madrid’s goal scoring machine.

Although Simeone keeps saying that Alvarez is still receiving the team's full support, Alvarez's current situation does not lie, he just wants to leave Atletico Madrid as soon as possible and play for Barcelona.

Alvarez just need to face reality and move on with his life. It's clear that he cannot move to Barcelona this season, let him focus on making himself happy by playing for Atletico with his full heart. A better chance will still come in future for him to play in Barcelona. Atletico Madrid has scored an early goal on the 4th minutes to take the early lead 0-1. Baena is the goal opener. He is a good signing for Atletico because he wouldn't stop putting down his name on the score sheet.

It is not yet known how long Rafinha will play as a striker, whether Barcelona will give a chance to a new striker or use Rafinha as a striker for the whole season, probably no one except Hansi Flick knows. If Rafinha plays as a striker for the whole season, then his fight with Mbappe will intensify. If Rafinha goes back to winger, then I do not see any fight, but rather Mbappe will probably win the Golden Boot.
I think Hansi Flick will test a new striker very soon, if the results are positive, then maybe he will add that striker to the starting XI. After the fifth round, it might be a good time to test.
