La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Valcendier]

Alavés started the season much better than expected. To be honest, I didn’t expect them to score 5 goals against Osasuna either. I thought both teams would play cautiously and end in a draw.

But Alavés started to seal the deal in the first half. They took a 2-0 lead, kept up the pace in the second half, and secured a decisive victory.

With 10 points from 4 games, they’re in 2nd place. It’s still early in the season, but Alavés already seems to be sending the message: “We’re different this season.”

[Creeper0]

Barcelona, as usual the best team in the league. This was an easy game for Barcelona. Barcelona showed more character. For a team that is small, Barcelona didn't hold back in starting their first team.

Five goals in one game. Hansi Flick is really going to win the league this season again. Their rivals, Real Madrid, are not yet ready to win the league.

I just want to know, is Barcelona playing a practice match? Or is the season not yet started for them.

I don't want to talk about their 5 goals. I was just counting how many chances they missed. They missed more than 6-7 chances that were likely to result in a goal. If Gabriel Jesus hadn't been selfish in the last minute, maybe there would have been another goal. Instead of short-cutting to the goal post, he should have just made a pass. I sometimes think that Barcelona might be the top team who creates the most chances and misses the most chances. That's what I like the most, they try again and again and succeed.

[Stepstowealth]

Barcelona is incredible, that's all we can say for now because looking at their performance even though their opponent is Valencia which in fact is not a strong club but it cannot be denied that their performance is very good for the beginning of this season.

I think I understand why Barcelona are putting in a lot of effort in the La Liga because they understand well the competition that they are against and know the importance of the three points in every game because by the time Real Madrid click into gear and finally come to terms with Mourinho's style of play, they will become a difficult team to win. Barcelona also look like they are ready for the Champions League, they definitely have that as a target with how well they are playing. Yamine Lamal had a slow start to the season, but he is not back to what we expect from him. Real Madrid will struggle to take back the La Liga from this Barcelona team, because somehow the effect of having a coach who has stayed with his team for a long time is always more evident than a coach who has just joined a team and will need time to settle in.

I just want to know, is Barcelona playing a practice match? Or is the season not yet started for them.

Barcelona has just been winning their matches effortlessly, as if they are playing preseason games. Look how they just won Valencia like they were playing against a second division team. The confidence of Barcelona players is just what I'm unable to comprehend because they don't even feel any form of tension or being under pressure. Barcelona we need a serious conspiracy from the other La Liga teams before they can drop form and that will only happen if all their key players are injured which i think it won't be possible.

I don't want to talk about their 5 goals. I was just counting how many chances they missed. They missed more than 6-7 chances that were likely to result in a goal. If Gabriel Jesus hadn't been selfish in the last minute, maybe there would have been another goal. Instead of short-cutting to the goal post, he should have just made a pass. I sometimes think that Barcelona might be the top team who creates the most chances and misses the most chances. That's what I like the most, they try again and again and succeed.

One thing is to miss chances, another is to make use of chances. It would have been a great disrespect to Valencia if Barcelona had scored all the chances they got in this match. Gabriel Jesus is mostly a selfish player, we knew him right from Manchester City and at Arsenal. Sometimes it pays not to be selfish because I have seen several scenarios where team mates praised the player who made an assist than the one who scored the goal.

[Joy- maker]

I am not going to guess on who will win crown. However, Barcelona's performance in their four match so far has been sounder than Madrid.

Lewandowski has left Barcelona. I had felt Barcelona might experience dip in form this season. But team is playing skillfully. They have won all four match, scoring 17 goal and conceding only two.

Real Madrid has won three match and lost one. They have scored 10 goal and conceded three.
This shows that Madrid has not yet found stability. Among Madrid's four opponent, only Betis was relatively challenging. And that was the match Madrid lost.
Madrid will likely miss out on title again unless their performance enhance and they shore up their shaky defense.

The season just started so it's too early to start guessing who will win the La Liga title this season. Barcelona's performance was really impressive today and if they continue this way they may win the La Liga title again. However, I'm surprised with Barcelona performance after the departure of Lewandowski, frankly speaking I was among those people who were saying that Lewandowski departure from Barcelona would affect the team badly but with the look of things we were all wrong.

As for Real Madrid, their performance is not bad but they need to improve more if they really want to achieve something significant this season, otherwise they may end up finishing at second place. Because with Barcelona current performance I doubt if real Madrid will be able to outperform them and win the La Liga title, unless Barcelona stop being consistent in winning their matches.

[Majestic-milf]

Barcelona are talking less and doing the work. 5-0! Shit, will they ever stop scoring? Honestly, I thought they'd find it a bit hard to score against Valencia because for some reason, the hosts just know how to upset Barcelona but it's evident that whatever high they were on last season, it hasn't worn off.

Barcelona score five goals again, Raphinha and Yamal score again, while Gabriel Jesus only came on in the 81st minute. I think Flick is trying to gradually ease him into the team this way. But even without another forward, Barcelona are showing that they can manage perfectly well with the attacking players they already have. As a result, Barcelona become the sole leaders of La Liga, moving three points ahead of Real Madrid and Betis.

I quite agree. Truth is, he might become obsolete in the long run if these two keep doing what they do. At the start of the season, Yamal was absent to the party, often making mistakes that should have been clinical but he has found his groove. In the last game he had two goals and replicated it this time too.
Gabriel Jesus will adapt but I hope injury will not rid him of that opportunity.

Barcelona has a complete squad and Hansi Flick knows better how to ration his team. Barcelona is ensuring every game counts. Mourinho has so much to do if Madrid will stand a chance to compete for the title this season. Barcelona now has a total of 17 GFs and 15GDs. It will takes so much to keep up with this form and if Barcelona can make every game a goal scoring ceremony then Madrid might have to wait for next season before thinking of contending for the title.

Your statement is very cleared regarding real Madrid should wait for next season to be able to compete for the title, take a look at how Barcelona moving, this is definitely a teamwork, they have scored so many goals and the season is still at the beginning. Hansi Flick really know how to make things work for is team, and currently they are looking more stronger each day that comes. Real Madrid really how to fix a lot of things because in their last match they played a fantastic ball, but the only thing is that the lock wasn't on their side that is why it ended like that, Jose Mourinho is an experience manager and by now he will definitely have found alternative to fix Real Madrid problem.

However, I'm surprised with Barcelona performance after the departure of Lewandowski, frankly speaking I was among those people who were saying that Lewandowski departure from Barcelona would affect the team badly but with the look of things we were all wrong.

We should stop this saying that the season is still new because a team that starts very well will likely end very well because in the case of Barcelona and Real Madrid in the pursuit for the La Liga title, it is recorded that either teams that starts the season at the top of the table always end up winning the league title. Barcelona doesn't even have any strong rival team that can do what they are doing. It is indeed a thing of surprise that the fear of many people when Lewandowski left the team has disappeared because of the team work among Barcelona players. Hansi Flick has really mastered how to position players in a way that they can still perform even without having a perfect squad.

Lewandowski has left Barcelona. I had felt Barcelona might experience dip in form this season. But team is playing skillfully. They have won all four match, scoring 17 goal and conceding only two.

It was a very comfortable away win for Barcelona tonight and they won 5-0.
I never thought Valencia would suffer such a heavy defeat, but when you are up against a team like Barcelona, these things can happen.

Barcelona will not miss Lewandowski's absence at all because they are very productive even without Lewandowski, and we have seen this in every match since the league started. They create chances very easily and can find goals very easily.

It's too early to talk about who will be the champion.

I totally agree with what you just said regarding Barcelona being in a very good form this season, and it is actually no doubt that Flicks truly deserves all the credit for managing such a squad to produce such an impressive performance like they just did today against Valencia by scoring 5 goals to nil. However, when it comes to who will win the league title, I actually think it's still too early to say that Madrid should wait till next season, because for that fact that Barcelona have been able to score 17 goals in 5 games in the early stage of this season doesn't automatically guarantee that they stand a better chance to win against Madrid. Because both teams do actually have the potential.

Real Madrid's problem is neither the coach, I won't start saying bad things about the team because of one bad result for the season. I would love to imagine how the rest of the game will be, and how Mourinho will manage the players after their terrible performance against Real Betis.

Will it be another season for Mbappe to finish as the top scorer and for Real Madrid not to win any trophy? Football is always teamwork, and Real Madrid are lacking in this aspect, the link-up and positioning haven't been effective and need effort.

With 10 points from 4 games, they’re in 2nd place. It’s still early in the season, but Alavés already seems to be sending the message: “We’re different this season.”

When two average teams meet, nobody will ever expect many goals in the match, especially for one team to score so many goals, just like what Alaves did today. I even wanted to bet on the match for over 1.5 goals, but I was scared that the match could later end in a goalless draw.It was a surprise to me when I saw so many goals scored by Alavés against Osasuna. The point is that Osasuna have not been playing so badly recently. They have also won two of their games and drawn one, and this is their first match to lose.

It is too early to start judging them now because there are still many matches to be played. But what I just want to remind some people is that when some small teams pick up form from the beginning of the season, they most often remain consistent. They may not win the league, but they can continue to be in great form until the end of the season.Look at the season when Girona picked up form and where they ended up at the end of the season. They were about to make the top four.But let’s see how Alavés perform in their next few games.

Toni Kroos contribution to Real Madrid was not very high. No club took him because he did not have much talent. In the 23/24 season of the Spanish league, Toni Kroos played 33 matches and scored 1 goal and assisted 8 goals. Overall, this was his contribution in that season. The number of defensive players who were signed by Real Madrid during the summer transfer window is more. If you consider Toni Kroos's replacement, Bernardo Silva has been signed. He has covered the midfield for Manchester City in the last 3 seasons and although he is not very rich in statistics, he has a good reputation in the back midfield.

What the **** did I just read? Is this a joke? Kroos' contribution to Real Madrid was not very high? Nobody wanted him? And then you complain he scored only one goal during a certain season? You see, you represent everything that is wrong with today's football: you have no idea how he played, you only opened a website, you saw he scored 1 goal and therefore, in your head, he was a mediocre player.

Then we have his own manager, Ancelotti, that probably knows about football a little more than you, saying that "Kroos is one of the best midfielders in the history of football".

I read many BS here but saying those things about Kroos, wow, it's really impressive, but not in the way you think.

LoL  I think this guy just searched on ChatGPT......!!!!

I know online website will only tell you the stats like they didn't give you any information about how players stand on the field. Toni Kroos is one of the most influential player in possession at the team like you will see his greatness on the field. His name will not be in scored sheet of assist but if we look at the entire match then probably you will found him the most frequently ball possessor......

I already express here that current bad toes was the reason of Toni Kroos like right now Real Madrid didn't have any quality players like Kroos who distributes the ball in every direction or even got supplies at the right time. Jude Bellingham, Velverda is good players but they didn't have the same capacity as Kroos have and that's why Real Madrid is still feels the lacking although they have an extraordinary attack.

Lamine yamal and his team mates made my day today, you need to see how impressed I was while watching that match, because Barcelona’s performance Was too good.

Valencia on the other hand tried, but the team’s effort was not enough to withstand Barcelona pressure because those guys were playing a different football and the Valencia guys couldn’t relate.

Currently Barcelona is topping in the La Liga table, and if they remain consistent in winning their games they may lift the trophy again this season.

Barcelona just want to maintain the championship goe a very long time and they are ready to utilize this present squad to the core so that before the is present squad fade away and new players came in and they can't lead the league at least they have done a good job goe the team. Currently it will be hard for any team in La-Liga to win the trophy. Barcelona performance today was super, and they beat Valencia like they were playing with children. 5-0 is a good start.

[Byebyebtc]

Barcelona, as usual the best team in the league. This was an easy game for Barcelona. Barcelona showed more character. For a team that is small, Barcelona didn't hold back in starting their first team.

Five goals in one game. Hansi Flick is really going to win the league this season again. Their rivals, Real Madrid, are not yet ready to win the league.

Bercelona as usual did a good job again.
I expected a win from Barcelona, but I didn't expect them to pull up this much Goals today, individuals it's even more crazy that they did this just after Real Madrid lost their match. If Real Madrid messed up your gambling, Hope Barcelona has Given you a good recovery..

Lamin Yamal with a Brace, very impressive from the young boy, his girlfriend wasn't a problem after all

Real Madrid have made a number of signings in the transfer summer and we have seen that they have spent the most money on Diomande but the solution to this team's midfield problem still remains because this team is showing that after losing their first match under their new manager Jose Mourinho. Look there is no talented player like Toni Kroos in this team but as far as I know, the new Real Madrid manager has given responsibility for that position to Bernardo Silva, in fact although Madrid has bought many players, they only purchased this Portuguese midfielder for this new season.

Anyway Real Madrid still has the best midfielders, like Valverde, who is a very skilled player, however we think the team suffered an unexpected defeat at Real Betis because despite being awarded a penalty in that match, the team could not draw the match, as a result it seems that the team is falling behind in the title race even in the 2026/27 season under the leadership of Jose Mourinho.

Bernardo silva is not a Kroos replacement. He is never been that type of player. Not at City, not anywhere. He is a tight-space navigator, a final third drifter... That is closer to what Modric did actually.

When he came on against Betis he completed like 21 out of 22 passes. That did not change anything with their ball movement. Near perfect passing and no impact on progression. That is a good indicator if there is a real problem or not.

Well, It can work! But then your forwards have to be ruthless. That is the deal. You trade control for explosiveness and Mbappe needs to bury that penalty.
It is not this match I am worried about. Its January. February. When they are in the middle of UCL knockouts, and there is a side just waiting on the pitch... And no player has the patience or profile to slowly pull them apart.

Alonso attempted to solve just that issue. Was fired in January. Now he is at Chelsea. Arbeloa came and went. Mourinho is smart enough to not even try fixing it. He just built around it.

Honestly, I thought they'd find it a bit hard to score against Valencia because for some reason, the hosts just know how to upset Barcelona but it's evident that whatever high they were on last season, it hasn't worn off.

To be honest, I think Barcelona will still win the league again, because they are in top form compared to their rivals (Real Madrid). Barca has now scored 12 goals in three matches despite not having a proper No.9, Isn't this incredible?. For the past two seasons, Barcelona has been beating Valencia back to back with an average of 3 goals, so I never expected them to find it hard to get a win. There was no time Valencia upset Barcelona, the last time I checked the last 3 h2h games were in favour of Barca, and they won by a heavy margin.

Barcelona has been performing very well, I hope they continue, because this type of form will be very much needed if they really what to  compete for the UCL title. Raphinha has been outstanding for Barca this season, he just can't stop scoring. Maybe we've found a contender for the Laliga golden boot this season.

Because both teams do actually have the potential.

In as much as I wouldn't like to admit it, Barcelona have been extremely impressive this season in the Spanish La Liga thanks to Hansi Flick's incredible experience and tactical approach.

I actually predicted that Real Madrid will be the team that'll dominate the Spanish La Liga this season but surprisingly, it's been Barcelona all the way.

That said, I'm still of the opinion that Barcelona will not likely win the league title ahead of the 15 times European champions at the end of the season.
