La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[LUCKMCFLY]

Taking sides would not be correct. There have certainly been some refereeing errors, but this does not mean that Barcelona still manage to put their opponents in extreme difficulty, they always score many goals and make the difference. It is tru that in La Liga you play in an open field and there are more chances of scoring goals, while against the three strongest teams you find in la Liga.

Yes, it's true that things clash with UCL games, and when Barcelona and Real Madrid face off, they have to choose referees who are mostly impeccable because the controversy that arises is huge when there are things they don't see or calls they miss, which leaves a bad taste for many fans.

I've always said that because these games involve such massive teams, so many people are focused on every single detail that everything that happens has to be scrutinized, with the help of VAR. A referee or the officiating team can't leave anything to chance; every decision has to be very well-adjusted and fully justified.

I don't agree with you on this about Vini, despite his weak performance lately, Vini is more of a team player than Mbappe, he dribbles and passes, he tries to set up the play to help the team, he doesn't play selfishly. The only issue with Vinicius is that he's having a lot of failed dribbles, too easily losing the ball and falling to the floor on every slight tackle, the old Vinicius is far better than this version.

Mourinho spending more time with players will improve their state, both on the pitch and off the pitch.

I agree with you, Vini especially when we are talking about the Madrid players, Vino is more a team player and watching him play with Mbappe, I know certain runs that would lead to goal, I have seen him make those passes instead of going for goal. If you watch Vini and Mbappe play you will assume they are best of friends. Now I'm not saying they are not, quite frankly I do not follow the lives of these footballers outside when they are meant to be playing a match on the field, so I don't know much outside but on field they have good chemistry. I certainly trust the special one to do his special thing but unfortunately for him Barcelona will come up on top regardless.

[Ale88]

I never said they are ordinary players otherwise they wouldn't be playing for Real Madrid, they are way above average but they are not good enough to be called stars. Personally I never particularly liked Vinicius because he's too full of himself and he should focus more on scoring goals instead of getting offended for everything; Bellingham began extremely well but then his performances got worse, but his still very young; Valverde is feeling more pressure because now he is the main midfielder for Real Madrid.

The other stars right now, in my opinion, are Lamine Yamal, Haaland, Kane, Olise, and Kvaratskhelia. These are actually players who make you win difficult matches. When was the last time Vinicius did that? If we take a look at the performances during the last 3 years I think Raphinha is superior to Vinicius.

I agree with you, I don't remember the last time I saw Vinicius play well. Kylian Mbappe performs well, but it doesn't do much for the team. Bellingham, he's still an average player. When it comes to Real Madrid's star players, there are no players who can compete with players like Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos. None of the current Real Madrid players can fill the void left by the players mentioned.

The names you mentioned are really star players of the present time, their performances play an effective role for the team. Considering his individual performance, Mbappe is the star player of the present time, but I don't like him much because of his selfish behavior. His performance cannot play an effective role in winning the team the title. Vinicius is only a star player for his fans, but when it comes to performance, he is an average player.

I totally agree with your idea about Mbappé: as a striker he's incredibly good but as a team player he still has to improve. Also his personality is not the best, I feel like he notices that his teammates don't see him as an actual leader because of his character. And I agree with you also when you say that Mbappé, right now, is THE star.

Hansi Flick and Barcelona are now expected to win the UEFEA Champions League trophy this season following the epic form they've found themselves, this is to tell you that Hansi Flick and the team are ready to face their hurdle and wouldn't be bending any knee not now or in the future. Barcelona are excellent on the pitch, they keep scoring their oppositions until their opposition become tired of conceding and welcome defeat.

Barcelona is that club that oppositions that are losing with huge goal margin will still go back to defend because they do not want to concede more. Barcelona are La Liga title contenders and also UEFEA Champions League favorite, I would say there's a lot of work to be put in by Hansi Flick this season.

Why is there a need for Hansi Flick to put in alot of work if you yourself have already praised the team so much? Barca is an outstanding team and Flick has played an important part in the form and level of the club right now, he has put in alot of work and he is just seeing the results right now. He is a worldclass manager accompanied by even better players so their combination becomes unmatched and that’s what leads to their success. They are indeed one of the favourites for the champions leagu but for your info they have been called favorites alot but it has been almost 12 years since a CL, so don’t get hopes too high

I agree with you, of course, Flick has a lot of contribution to Barcelona delivering such an outstanding performance. His mentality and structural game have created a lot of positive impact in the team. And the fact Barcelona is attacking quickly and scoring goals is largely due to Flick strategy. And he is using best performance from young players a lot. Barcelona is progressing quite a bit in scoring goals. But their problem is that their defence is weak due to high pressing attacking. So, in the last few matches, Barcelona has been winning by a large margin, but they also face goal. So, I think they need to maintain their attacking consistency and continue to win matches, and also strengthen their defense.

[Hypnotizer]

Even Real Madrid has lost to Real Betis. How if Barcelona? Real Madrid's form is not consistent enough to maintain a high level in every match. Furthermore. They will face Atletico Madrid this week. It is hard to predict the result.

The El Classico is very intense and just because Real Madrid has lost to Betis that doesn’t rule out their chance of winning it, anything can happen. If you remember last season correctly, Barcelona started quite well just as well as this season and Real Madrid also lost to Atletico Madrid earlier but Madrid later won the first El Classico.

Real Madrid's performance against Atletico Madrid will show us what to expect in the El Classico, Atletico Madrid are also in good form lately so it is not an easy game to predict.


Who else saw Espanyol’s disappointing results against Elche yesterday… despite playing against ten men Elche since the sixth minute, Espanyol conceded three goals and ultimately lost the match.

[bastisisca]

Former Arsenal player Gabriel Jesus has looked sharp at his new club Barcelona. He is their current number 9, and he's is playing so well well. Arsenal sold him because he wasn't really fitting into the project or Arteta anymore, and was literally doing nothing anytime he is called upon either from the bench or when he starts. He left Arsenal in anger because he never wanted to leave the club so early.

If Gabriel Jesus if fully fit, he is better than Victor Gyokeres at Arsenal and I'm currently thinking Arsenal wouldn't have let him go because he's performing well at Barca, while Gyokeres isn't playing a good football at all. He has zero goals and zero assists so far in all competitions for Arsenal, if Gabriel Jesus was the one given those chances, he will definitely give you good football and can also resister an assist for you.

Gabriel Jesus had a decline in performance.
I also believe that a lot of this is due to the fact that the coach brought him into question much less than at the beginning. He didn't want to leave because he knew that Arsenal would probably dominate in the Premier League this year and would have an even better chance of winning the Champions League. But in any case it didn't go badly for him, since he then landed in Barcelona, where he is used more and where the chances of victory are the same.

[Different patterns]

However, when Barcelona and Real Madrid face each other, it will be clear which team has been stronger this season. Since the two teams have not faced each other yet, we cannot say exactly who will rule La Liga this season.

I am not sure whether Real Madrid can really beat Barcelona in the upcoming El Clasico. But as a Madrid fan, I am already prepared for whatever the result may be, and I realize that Real Madrid have been going through a difficult period since losing legends like Kroos and Modric, which has affected the balance of the squad.

As long as Madrid have not found a player who can perform like Kroos, it will be difficult for Madrid to compete with Barcelona.

Barcelona too don't have the likes of Dani Alves and Inesta anymore in their squad. The El Classico will reveal both team who is stronger. Barcelona are busy accumulating goals and Madrid are already 3 points behind but it's not looking like they have lost form completely it's just a careless mistake they couldn't avoid. This El Classico should show the true strength of both teams this season revealing who has a more balanced team and more prepared for trophies this season.

To me, I will say that Real Madrid are still trying hard to find balance this season and it will take the  team a while to fully be solid as a team and also they are already trying. I can see their efforts in their previous games, they just need to continue working on  their weaknesses and with time, they will get there. It takes Barcelona a while to get to the level they are now and if Real Madrid can also build something themselves, they can also upgrade and be performing consistently as a team.

With the level of players Morinho signed during that transfer window, I didn't expect them to struggle winning games this season, initially, I thought they were the real deal. I thought they were going to be better than any other team in the Laliga, but now I see that it is not by quantity, it is by quality. The quality of players you sign will determine how far you succeed. While the quantity will only give you options and depth.

What Barca got was quality. All the players they signed have shown that they can add something to this Barca side. They brought in Rodri from Mancity, and since he got into that midfield, it has been hard for opponents to survive because they currently have the best midfield in the world in the persons of Garvi and Rodri and Pedro. This two midfielders will suffocate any midfield in the world right now. Therefore, I see Barca lifting the trophy once again.

Real Madrid and Barcelona play different pattern of football, and that's why Barca will be ahead of them for a long time. The reign of Ronaldo and Benzema is over and now reality hits them, though they play beautiful football but there is a level of understanding that the Barcelona team possess that Real Madrid are still working on.

In my opinion, Barca will remain winners of the La Liga this season, because the level at which they play with the numbers of goals scored in each game, it's undeniable that they are unstoppable in the La Liga. The El Classico will make the difference this season for sure.

[Alpha Marine]

So which option are we going with in the Madrid derby tomorrow?
I'm so confused; I don't know which team to bet on. Neither team has been convincing. Atletico has been winning more when they meet at the Metropolitano, but I don't know how Madrid under Mourinho will perform there.
I'm thinking of going with GG & Over 2.5. It's a decent odd and a high chance of happening. I don't believe there is any way a team would walk out of that game with a clean sheet, and there will be more than 2 goals.
I would really like to go for the big odds and pick a winner. Atleti has 3.5 odds while Madrid has 2 odds. I might go for the bigger odd just for the fu of it if I decide to bet on a winner.

[blomen]

it looks like barcelona will play all of their matches this season as the favorite. honestly, if they keep up this pace even in their matches against real madrid and atlético madrid, i think they’ll be the overwhelming favorites. i also think they can easily beat sevilla today.

there’s also the madrid derby tomorrow, but i don’t know how that match will turn out. i’ll think about that match after watching barcelona’s game today.

As long as Madrid have not found a player who can perform like Kroos, it will be difficult for Madrid to compete with Barcelona.

Madrid's victory in La Liga is depending on their performance against Barcelona. I meant the first el classico will be determining the result of this season. If Barcelona battered them with massive score. I'm not seeing any Chance for Madrid to winning this competition.
I have to be honest Madrid is improving, but they still lack of proper DM. So it's hard to resist from Barcelona's counter then they only rely on Camavinga for that.

Barcelona much more a complete team than them especially with Adeyemi who can run even faster than Mbappe.

[banana33]

Come on saying Mbappe is the best player in the world seems like an absurd exaggeration to me, he is certainly an excellent player with enviable performances, but calling him the "best" also doesn't.
There are many other players who have excellent performances, who have nothing less than Mbappe, take a Haaland, take Yamal, Harry Kane, in short they have nothing less than him.
If you then want to say that Real Madrid has an important squad of players, I can agree with you on that, but at the moment they are not producing results as they should, Barcelona at the moment is the one that is demonstrating their performances on the pitch the most (the numbers speak for themselves).

Mbappé is a player who has always demonstrated his qualities and is a player with multiple characteristics. A player of extreme speed, quality dribbling and is a complete player in all respects. He is certainly one of the strongest players in the world at the moment, but not the strongest, because there are other players who we could define as being in the same category as him.

[Stormisover]

I don't agree with you on this about Vini, despite his weak performance lately, Vini is more of a team player than Mbappe, he dribbles and passes, he tries to set up the play to help the team, he doesn't play selfishly.

I certainly trust the special one to do his special thing but unfortunately for him Barcelona will come up on top regardless.

But this is quite surprising to me, how Vinicius has turn out to be a laughings talk in this Real Madrid team, I could remember before Kylian Mbappe's arrival to the team Vinicius was literally the one carrying the team, but after Kylian Mbappe came the attention shifted, and even as that before their differences came up, I could still remember vividly how those two were almost unstoppable at first, but all of a sudden people has forgotten this fact, okay if Real Madrid knew he was less important since Kylian is now in the team, they could have let him leave to another team, if they would not feel the hit.

[fluffaloo]

They are in a superb form, and they seem unstoppable right now. There kind of game is very easy and interesting. They are scoring goals so easily, and it now feels like scoring goals is very easy, when we know that some teams can play a whole 90 mins plus added time without even seen the back of the net.

They look formidable and they don't seem like they are stopping soon. Of course, stronger matches are coming, and we will see how strong they are when they meet. It's a good thing that Jose Mourinho is I'm Laliga now, and back with his former club, Real Madrid. Let's see how it goes with these two major teams battling for points.

It is a team that is making the game its real strong point.
This is thanks to a coach with qualities that he has yet to bring out, but who has already made the team understand what the type of game must be and the rhythm that the players will have to follow if they want to aim high. And for the moment the results speak for him.

[cande86]

Okay, Real Madrid isn't doing great right now but i think Mbappe is currently the best player in the world. i mean what more can he do for Real Madrid? But Vini isn't like that. he's been playing below his level for a long time. i actually think sitting on the bench once in a while could do him good. Real Madrid's squad depth is truly incredible. on paper, it's the best squad in the world but critics are right about one thing. the performance isn't at that level yet...

Because as Real Madrid has accustomed us over time, certainly what we are seeing today is a good pace, but not yet at the legendary level of Real Madrid. So there are certainly still missing pieces that need to be found and inserted to improve the squad, but all in all i see a more competitive team than last year.

[Abdulzuruku01]

I agree with you because based on their performance i have seen so far, I don't think even Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid can stop Barcelona. Although El Clasico match is sometimes unpredictable, so both of them always have highe chance of winning. But if I have to choose my favorite to win the la liga title this season, honestly it's Barcelona that I will choose because they have shown it with their performance.

Barcelona will face Sevilla today and it's going to be an interesting game, especially for people that want to see Barcelona drop points, because they always make excuses that Barcelona hasn't played any tough match. But we shall see tonight if Sevilla can stop Barcelona.

[Tamaperdana]

The El Classico is very intense and just because Real Madrid has lost to Betis that doesn’t rule out their chance of winning it, anything can happen. If you remember last season correctly, Barcelona started quite well just as well as this season and Real Madrid also lost to Atletico Madrid earlier but Madrid later won the first El Classico.

Real Madrid's performance against Atletico Madrid will show us what to expect in the El Classico, Atletico Madrid are also in good form lately so it is not an easy game to predict.

Snip.

Matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid are always intense and full of drama, so it’s true that anything can happen in that game. However, personally, I believe that Real Madrid isn’t performing at its best right now, while Barcelona is currently in excellent form. So, based on that, I think Barcelona clearly has a better chance of defeating Real Madrid. After all, as you can see from last season, Barcelona was the team that won the most often when facing Real Madrid. So yes, especially now that Barcelona is performing even better, I’m sure that will make things even harder for Real Madrid. Given all this, I’ll continue to support Barcelona, because in every respect, Barcelona currently holds a significant advantage.

[Luzin]

The last week before the international break begins. Tomorrow's match, which is quite interesting and usually very entertaining, is Atletico vs Real Madrid. Maybe Atletico will be favored because they are playing at home. So far, Madrid has been better, only losing once and sitting in second place, while Atletico is in fourth place. Who will win? It's hard to predict because both are good. I think this could end with the same score, for example 1:1. Do you dare to place a 3.80 odds on a draw?

I think Barcelona is winning this one, maybe by 4 or 5 goals. I don't see how Seville is going to mount any resistance. Barcelona will only start dropping points if their key players ger injuried. Right now their chemistry is superb.

In the Madrid derby, the home advantage doesn't matter that much since they are just neighbors and I believe Real Madrid is winning this game as they need the points so bad to keep up the pressure on Barcelona. Atletico Madrid on the other side hasn't been convincing yet.
