La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Jegileman]

I’m not sure we can say that they strengthened their squad. I think it would be more accurate to say that they made some changes, bringing in Gordon instead of Rashford and Jesus instead of Lewandowski. And by the way, Jesus has only just started training with the team, so it’s still unclear how well he will fit into the game. Overall, Barcelona have remained more or less the same as they were. Lewandowski, by the way, missed a lot of time because of injuries, so I think Barcelona have more or less the same squad they had before, and they are in excellent form.

Barcelona team can’t be said to be undervalued than they were before, they’ve just improved their squad more and from what they’ve exhibited from the beginning of the season, one can confidently give them a thumbs up that they will do well this season and finish in a very good position. The players that left and the ones that were brought in and retained are just so perfect for them, and it’ll help them thought having a more successful season like before. Gordon is a great player and bringing him to the club was a smart move by them that will yield them good result this season.

The team that underestimates Barcelona will definitely face a big loss. Barcelona has increased their strength a lot this season compared to last season and they have very strong players in every position. The place where Barcelona was weak was the position of NO 9 but Barcelona has strengthened this place. We can definitely say that the strongest team in La Liga is Barcelona and Barcelona has a much higher chance of winning the UCL this season. Underestimating Barcelona will be the biggest mistake.

I feel it quite too early to begin speculating who might become  champion, there are lots of interesting issues surrounding this season that we should pay attention to.

The changes in the squad of the two top teams and the effects that this could have on the team's performance this season, apparently Barcelona seems to be dominating same way they did last season and I do not want to be certain that Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid can not stop this Barcelona this season.

There is nothing wrong with speculating about who will win the title, even though it is still early in the season. After all, we are all just here discussing and predicting how things might turn out at the end of the season.

Barcelona certainly look convincing at the start of this season, but I always keep in mind that teams that are too aggressive and overly enthusiastic at the beginning of the season can sometimes give us a false impression and eventually fail to win the title. For example, in the 2023/24 season, many people initially believed in Barcelona, but halfway through the season, Real Madrid kept putting pressure on them, and Barcelona ultimately finished in second place.

[Muba20]

In fact, Barcelona's strengths remain the same as last season, and there has even been a slight improvement this season as the Barcelona coach continues to polish his players to stay at their best and avoid injuries. The victory by a fairly high scoreline is indeed impressive, and it has put Barcelona at the top of the standings due to the goal difference over Real Madrid, who have also won three matches earlier this season. So, we will all see how exciting it will be when Barcelona meets Real Madrid this season, as Real Madrid have also made improvements in their overall performance.

Last year, Barcelona already had a very strong team, which in fact managed to win the La Liga even with some difficulty, because they still found themselves with less strong opponents than usual. But this is not to diminish Barcelona, because they still have an excellent team, which they have even strengthened, so they really have a team with an excellent game and is probably the most organized in the league at the moment.

The changes in the squad of the two top teams and the effects that this could have on the team's performance this season, apparently Barcelona seems to be dominating same way they did last season and I do not want to be certain that Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid can not stop this Barcelona this season.

Since Mourinho joined Real Madrid, there have been huge changes in the team, some of which can be seen from the results of the last three matches. Winning three matches in a row is definitely a positive sign for the team. One of Mourinho's special qualities is that his tactical approach is much better. He knows how to stop the opponent. It will certainly not be easy for the team to weaken Real Madrid's defense by only possessing the ball. If Mbappe and Vinícius can play, it is possible to break down Barcelona's high defense. Real Madrid had some weaknesses in the last seasons, but from that point the team is now much stronger under Mourinho's leadership.

Mourinho is cooking something because he doesn't even want to sell Vinicius, which is a good thing. He is wondering how he wants to make the team work, and there is just a lot of work for him to do. When everything is balanced, there should be a form of high expectations because they are currently winning all of their games, so I think Mourinho will be able to do well this season. There is currently a serious dispute between Real Madrid and Barcelona about who will perform better.

And Jose is a very astute coach; he knows what he's doing. I'm just curious about what changes will be made because this season will undoubtedly be between Barcelona and Real Madrid. We should realize that it won't be as simple as we all think it will be, but we also need to assume that things will improve in the near future. The season is just starting, and everyone still has a long way to go. This is why I am trying to visualize everything that is happening now, because of Jose's pattern.

[Cryptoprincess101]

The form of Per Emerick Auabameyang is not talked about enough here. He has scored three goals in the last three games for Depritivo A coruna. Yeah, this might ne his second spell in the Spanish league but I think he is currently enjoying the good goalscoring run his is having. Ahead of the game against Villarreal come Saturday, I'm confident he can still do just the same by finding his name on the scoresheet. Being 37 means no limitation to him as you can see him utilising his explosive pace to beat defenders in La Liga. Hopefully, he stays consistent for his side.

I was even about to say that nobody is talking about the newly promoted teams in the La Liga before I saw your post about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. I can't believe that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still very much active in netting the ball inside the goal post. Scoring in the first 3 matches of Deportivo La Coruña is really a big stats for the Gabon professional footballer because it's not every player within his age that can do what he's doing at 37.

Among the 3 promoted teams, Racing Santander, Deportivo La Coruña, and Málaga CF, it is only Desportivo La Coruña that hasn't lost any match. Racing Santander managed to get 4 points after they won 1 match, played 1 draw and also lost one match while Malaga lost 2 games and played 1 draw. Looking at the results of the teams, Deportivo La Coruña and Racing Santander might remain in the La Liga while Malaga will likely not make it because they had a bad start already and will likely continue.

Whoever thinks barca’s team is undervalued doesn’t know anything anout football, value of a player doesnt come from his price or his name the value of a player comes from what he does on the pitch, as the user that you replied to said about gordon and jesus then we cant say that they are a downgrade because their market value wasnt high or their previous performances weren’t that good, their value in squad will be decided by what they do on the pitch… and i hope they will do well

The price is based solely on the players' performance on the field and their future prospects. Even a 39-year-old prime Messi might not be worth much, because he has no future prospects. He might get some value for his performance on the field, but it won't be much. That's not always true. Sometimes we get good performance from very cheap players and very poor quality players from high-priced players. So I don't take the price of players too seriously, a high-priced player doesn't mean he will play well.

I don't have much to say about the prices of Gordon and Jesus. Although Gordon is a little more expensive, his performance at Barcelona so far has been great, he deserves this price. There wasn't much hype about him before he came to Barcelona. Jesus is a great player even though he is cheap, but Barcelona is uncertain about him due to injuries.

It's early to say that's but every team has the weak point and barcelona has the number 9 problems and when they solve we say barcelona is ready to go this season but as currently Flick use Raphinha and trying the experiment but in recent 2 matches it's actually work very well but it's not a permanent solution barcelona need number 9 whenever in January transfer window or in the next summer transfer window barcelona can definitely sign any number 9. Barcelona are currently very good in the recent matches and the media show barcelona didn't need any numbers 9 but it's actually the missing piece in this barcelona Flick team.

[coinlary]

-snip-

I don't remember Rafinha missing too many games due to injury, no more than other players, I think. Rafinha has become too important for Barcelona now, and Flick is currently using him as a central striker. As for Jesus, we don't yet know how well he'll fit in with his new team, so it's too early to say that Barcelona needs him.

Didn't mentioned he misses too many  games though. What I meant right there is that , his injuryalways affect Barca because they are always when we have a crucial match or an upcoming one . Even if he's available, he doesn't  perform to his usual form unless he's resumed to play some couple of  games before the specific match. Rapha is important for us and he can even be deployed on any wing when the coach decides to use 2 forwards.

I want to see him compete for that Pichichi award

Malaga faced Real Madrid and Barcelona so it was normal to see them failing against these two top teams. They got a draw against Deportivo. Well they escaped a defeat at least.
Racing Santander games were against kinda weak teams. Deportivo opponents could not also be compared to Malaga.
I am not defending Malaga but their opponents weren't easy and any other teams aside Atletico Madrid maybe, couldn't do any better.

But why are you Barcelona fans not giving Raphinha enough PR? For 2 seasons his been the most important player for the team when his available to play, his carried the team for these 2 seasons that if and when his not in the team, it's mostly felt. His absence is noticeable and that for me is a void left by an important player. Raphinha deserves the support of majority of Barcelona fans but unfortunately his not having it instead it's been shifted to Yamal. I believe if he had the backings of majority of fans, his name would have been ringing a bell by now and who knows, last 2 seasons he would have won an important individual award.

But the league is still early and none of this two team have have even give a good gap that can guarantee any if the winning the league title, we all need to chill and see what the team will do.

You are spot on, we all are speculating as no one knows who will finally be champions across all leagues except for French League and German league, we are mostly giving our takes and what we think might happen along or during the season. Similarly to what you said about 2023/24, in la liga last season, Barcelona were ahead, then they slowed down, Real Madrid were looking like the team to win it, they broke down along the way and Barcelona were top again. They maintained that position till they eventually won it again for the second successive season. This season is here again, both teams are doing fine for now, it will get to a time when on either of them will slow down for the other, they will interchange again until one stands firm in that position to finally win it.

It's  not like we don't give him the PR he deserves   , the problem is Yamal had more trophies for 2024/2025 season so its  more reasonable we give Yamal more hype than Rapha since he's upto the standard  and can definitely compete with more trophies . Raphinha only had Barcelona title and some individual awards but yamal had more individual awards, more assist, trophies and everyone knows he's  so good with dribbling.

Same is  happening already for 2025/2026, more trophies and individual awards including player of the season. Now who do you think we should hype more  once again?

If he can win Pichichi , Laliga, and Champions league for 2026/2027, then he's probably going to be our next candidate with more support for Balloon d'Or.  Don't get me wrong,  the PR  was there, Yamal just had more .

[Umulala-alala]

El clasico will never be interesting as it use to be when cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were still in Real madrid and Barcelona but it will still be an interesting match to watch when both clubs will meet. Both Real madrid and Barcelona has won three of there matches so far with both club having six points each. This season will be different from past two seasons where Barcelona dominated laliga by winning the title back to back, the competition this season will be very strong although the title is just between both clubs but i don't think it's going to be an easy win for Barcelona this time as they have a strong rival now.

We can't compare the times of Christian Ronaldo and Messi because each player has their own time. For this reason, I believe that by now they should have retired and given the young players some space so they can take time for themselves. These two are club rivals, and as of right now, we always know who will win the LA Liga. The season will be difficult, and I have a suspicion that Barcelona may even have an advantage over Real Madrid. Let's see if Madrid can counter that.

And this is one of the reasons I don't want to make snap judgments because every team is looking to see if anyone else can win the trophy, and the way things are going, I'm seeing that Barcelona will be a very formidable opponent that they won't be able to defeat easily, so Real Madrid needs to tighten up because I'm not quite sure about them yet.

Again we can't compare football then and now football, then is more interesting and more entertain than now. I think both legends cristiano Ronaldo and messi has retired from international duties maybe next two years they might consider not playing football again.

We can't be quite sure of any club to win the trophy this season the only sure bet there is that the trophy is just between both clubs real madrid and Barcelona, i trust Real madrid new manager jose Mourinho to make things right for real madrid this season, they are also team that won't get defeat easily too from what I have seen them display in the 3 matches they have won, maybe we know better when the league have gone half way.

But the league is still early and none of this two team have have even give a good gap that can guarantee any if the winning the league title, we all need to chill and see what the team will do.

Making predictions doesn't necessarily mean it's what will happen. After a few games or even before a game is played everyone has a team or two in mind that they hope or thought will win the league but doesn't mean they will be the ones to win it.
In this competition only three teams are predicted winners but only two has a higher chance of winning it.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only favorites to win the league this time, their performance so far has been ahead of other teams and there's no way other teams will be able to compete properly. The league has always been dominated by these two teams so I don't expect any difference again.

I initially thought that Barcelona this season will underperform for not making much signings in the transfer market but watching them in their first three games of the Sea, I think they'll be a hard nut to crack for the other top teams in Spain and Europe

Hansi Flick is the manager of the team and I think he's got all that's needed to help Barcelona win the biggest trophies this season. Converting Raphinha to the top 9 role was what actually increased their value.

That said, I also think they'll find it very difficult to dominate Real Madrid this season, that'll be their most challenging task.

What makes players to have so much value is their performance and that's why we have different signing amount so actually non of the Barcelona major players are undervalued because their performances is something every ambitious club would definitely be willing to pay a lot of money to get them if they are up to be signed, let's use Lami Yamal for instance he is definitely someone that would worth a lot of money. You are also right and I have seen some of the things you have said because their are players most clubs has signed with huge amount but got the opposite of what they expected from him.

Too early to judge, mate. Just look at the opponents all those teams have played so far, and also know that there are way too many games left for the teams to improve or deteriorate. Malaga can improve after a few game weeks, especially after meeting very tough teams in their first game weeks.
