La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[liasbaa]

Real Madrid didn't start badly, but they started with a new coach and several new players. As a result, they have a team that has yet to find its true form, because they're now focusing heavily on individuals rather than the fearsome team play they once had, something Barcelona has rediscovered and embraced in their game.

no, real madrid has gotten off to a bad start. we can say they’re performing poorly, even when compared to their own past performances. in previous seasons, real madrid typically collected 17-18 points in the first 7 weeks. moreover they were winning easier back then. right now, not only is their play is weaker, but their opponents are also very strong. so unless they improve, this won’t be enough.

Mourinho is testing running we don't expect him to perform magic once. He needs to study and understand the strength and weaknesses of his team before he can come up with defeating tactics for every match. Comparing different seasons won't chance anything because those seasons had a different manager. Just had Hansi Flick adapted with Barcelona Mourinho wil definitely adapt and then we see the close competition they top two teams being forth.

We understand that he needs to be given more time to find the best XI from the entire Real Madrid squad. Mourinho has been the manager of the team for just a few months and is facing challenges. He has won 5 out of 7 matches in the Spanish league. Expecting a 100% win rate for the team is not too much for the fans because most of the teams they have played against are weaker than them. Only Atletico Madrid are almost at the same level when compared to the team, but Real Madrid was the favorite team in the last match. Hansi Flick has been in charge of the Barcelona team for 2 years and he has won the team trophies in two consecutive seasons and is fully prepared for the same repetition this season. If Mourinho can win a trophy this season, it will be desired for many fans.

You understand that Real Madrid is the royal club, and a team like that certainly won’t give a coach much time to adapt, rebuild the squad, and so on. He received several very expensive signings, he had time to prepare the team in friendly matches, and by the way, Real looked very good in those games. Now they are suffering defeats that, judging by their performances, they absolutely should have avoided. I think time will show whether this was just a coincidence or not.

It's true that Real Madrid is a great team and one of the greatest in the world. But still, that's no longer the case, as their inconsistent performance is clear evidence that Real Madrid's golden era may not return. Even though they've brought in a great coach and have great players, they still can't improve things. In fact, they've lost two matches so far, so I clearly don't think it's just a coincidence. Because if it were a coincidence, I don't think it was like that. Because in the matches when Real Madrid lost, it was clear that their performance was the cause of their defeat, not a coincidence. That's why I feel Real Madrid is currently helpless. Because in the La Liga standings, Real Madrid is currently dropping in rank. So yes, that's clearly not a good thing for them. But hopefully, Real Madrid won't continue like this. But if their coach Mourinho doesn't find a solution to all this, Real Madrid is certainly threatened with continued poor performance.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I have also heard that Mbappe is criticized a lot, although his personal performance is the best scorer in the Spanish league in the last two seasons, but he has succeeded in his own efforts in that case if he cannot win the team his personal performance will be hide.

In every team there will always be criticism, it's normal, but based on what we've seen, he's the one Mourinho trusts the most, as well as Espí, whom he sees as his secret weapon. Now I don't understand why he doesn't start him and only brings him on at the end. Now he has to trust him and Endrick. We'll wait and see how Mbappé's injury develops and how the team, which has significant absences, can be restructured. At this moment, I'd say Rodri would have been a good signing, but since he preferred Barcelona, perhaps he wasn't worthy of Real Madrid. Someone who has doubts about the best team in the world can't be part of it.

The fact that they brought in Morinho into the team doesn't really mean the team is going to function immediately ever after then,  there are still some things they need to work on a s a team. Morinho is a good coach, but managing Real Madrid at this stage, I don't think he can have much impact in the team. The fact that he made Benfica a better doesn't mean he will automatically improve Madrid's squad.

We also have to look at the team he is managing, Madrid is packed with great players who want to keep making names for themselves, and that might be the problem at Madrid currently, managing big names is not always easy, if he is to manage a team like Madrid, he must first of all work on individuals, work on their pride and try to unite the team first, that is when the players will remove selfishness among them and play like a team.

It's incredibly difficult to manage players who sometimes realize they're stars, and even if they were no coach would be able to lead a team to peak performance every season.

Mourinho is one of the best coaches and has coached many teams but at Real Madrid, he's already coached a team with a rich history for the second time this season. His first season in charge of Real Madrid was exactly the same as this season. Their squad also boasts many players who have played for various national teams, making it incredibly difficult for the players themselves to follow the coach's instructions to compete with other teams in various competitions.

[Italian Panic]

It's incredibly difficult to manage players who sometimes realize they're stars, and even if they were no coach would be able to lead a team to peak performance every season.

It’s true, though, that these players must also realise that they are paid to be professionals, not to be superstars. They should also realise that all the greatest champions in the sport, especially the very greatest, were so because, regardless of the manager and their team mates, they put the team first, above personal records or even higher salaries. I remember Paolo Maldini once saying that he only started earning proper money at around the age of 25; before that, he earned well, yes, but not so much that he wouldn’t have to stop working in the future. So perhaps that’s where we should start: paying proper money once they reach an age of maturity, rather than whilst they are still minors.

Even with 31 matches left, the way Bacelona wins their matches with significant points difference with tell you that they play on another level. If they are able to win Real Madrid home and away, they might win a golden trophy just like Arsenal won in 2003/2004 season because they might probably go unbeaten.

Man, are you serious?  Only seven rounds have passed, and you’re already building castles in the air. I’m surprised you didn’t mention winning the Champions League, the treble, or something else entirely. There is no doubt that Barcelona scores a lot of goals, but the level of their opponents has been low so far, and they are conceding an average of one goal per game. It is hard to predict what will happen in serious matches, but I am certain there won't be a 100% success rate. Plus, as always, injuries can completely change the current picture, even during the ongoing international matches, I’m seeing a flood of reports about players being sidelined. Barcelona doesn't have a deep enough squad to feel secure.

interesting ranking even if Yamal Lamine seems to have too high a quota, 8 in my opinion is definitely unbalanced given that the player is good
but maybe they gave him such a high score because he is made to play behind the strikers and therefore he creates the play and doesn't finish it

I think that odds suits Yamal well. What team expect from him to always deliver and help club to attack from the right side. So he may be scoring less because all of chances went to Raphinha who consistently playing as a striker now.

The goal is just bonus for Yamal because team wants him to create as many assists as possible. No doubt he ended as a winger with most assists last season.

It seems to be balance to me, the fact that he plays behind the striker reduces his chance of scoring, and not just that, He isn't the Barcelona team set piece taker so his chance of scoring are low even though he is a very good player that can score goals, every other player with lesser odd here has more advantage than yamal. the bookies are smarter than you will think.

with the way raphinha is scoring now, it make sense to bank on him since and also with the injury piked by Mbappe recently.

Football has evolved and the system has changed. During Mourinho's spell at Real Madrid, he won three major trophies and also reached the Champions league semi-finals three consecutive times, though it wasn't the best performance but was a commendable record.

Real Madrid provided him with the best signings so there is no excuse whatsoever when the results are not positive. Now with Mbappé's recent injury which recovery should be expected to be within two weeks, it would be a lot worse when he misses the upcoming La Liga match against Villarreal.

[cande86]

Even if Madrid gets better, they still won't win the league unless Barcelona's level drops. As long as Barcelona are still on this level, Madrid can't take the league from them unless they become better than Barcelona, and I don't see them becoming better than Barcelona, not with Jose Mourinho.

Barcelona's biggest fear now is injuries. If their players don't get injured, they will maintain this level. Players like Yamal, Raphinha, Pedri, Rodri, and the rest need to be fit the whole season. As for Madrid, they still have a long way to go. The only player who has impressed so far is Ader Guler. Courtois has always impressed, so I'm not surprised. Looking at the state of their midfield, they will struggle a lot.

Real Madrid will definitely improve and it will only be a matter of time. i think there is room for improvement and this will be very simple, finding the right players who can make the difference. For now, Real Madrid is suffering a bit but they can do well. The championship has just started but they can do it.

During Mourinho’s first spell at Madrid, Barcelona were also at their best and he has a very strong squad with great players which he managed well but also didn’t win the Laliga in his first season, so he might probably win a trophy this season like Copa Del Rey but for Laliga, Barcelona are very clear favorite to win except for an unexpected event that will greatly impact the team's performance.

Based on what Real Madrid officially disclosed, Mbappe is expected to recover and be fit for that game against Villarreal, so he’s expected to play in that game but even if he doesn’t play Real Madrid should be able to win Villarreal without him, they have other options like Espi and Endrick for his position.

If Mourinho can win a trophy this season, it will be desired for many fans.

Being the best squad does not need every position to be filled with star players. If you have to be honest and Madrid want to learn from rivals Barcelona who are able to create a solid and stable squad without the need for each line to be filled by star players. Because what is needed is players who complement each other's shortcomings so as to create balance, solid cooperation and strong chemistry between teammates. You certainly know what is lacking and looking empty from the current Madrid squad.

Mourinho is still experimenting with the best players to create a stable and reliable Real Madrid team. Espí has ​​scored 2 goals in 4 matches and is playing well. Endrick has only played 1 match but his individual performance is not satisfactory so there is no reason to trust him. Now how long Mbappe injury will last will depend on which players he uses. A manager can have different opinions about not trusting a player but if that player is talented he must be given a chance. If you analyze Endrick's performance, he doesn't have much talent and managers prefer to just keep him on the bench. In the 2024/25 season he only scored 1 goal in 22 matches in the Spanish league and last season he was only allowed to play 1 match. I think Mourinho will not give Endrick a chance in Mbappe's absence and will probably trust someone else.

Real Madrid is a royal club and they have a past and history, how successful they are and everyone has to admit that Madrid is the best club. However, we can see that their performance has been very bad for a few seasons, which has made the team very unstoppable. However, when a team has good players and a good coach, it does not take much time for the team to adapt properly, but if the players coordinate and play with good strategies with the coach, it is possible to take the team forward. As we have seen from Real Madrid, the way they played in the first few matches and the way they showed their performance in the friendly matches, it was expected that something good would be seen. But we are really shocked and disappointed by the performance of Real Madrid in the recent few matches, they have finished the match in such a bad form. If Real Madrid cannot improve their strategy and performance, then they will definitely have to suffer defeat in the next matches as well.

[kennycryptoitalia]

You are right that in the current situation, if Raphinha gets injured, it will be negative for Barcelona, but the team is not dependent on one or two players. Hansi Flick certainly has alternative plans and he will implement his strategy to keep winning. It is not easy for a player to be in form all the time. Currently, Raphinha is in great form and has scored 12 goals in 7 matches, which means that if he can play many more matches, his goal tally will increase. If for some reason, an injury problem arises, he will have to sit on the side bench. Flick can implement many more strategies, especially to keep Raphinha and Lamine healthy in the long term.

These types of players always make the difference, i don't understand how they always manage to be at the top but this is necessary to win and find playrs like that, i don't understand what could be better than Raphinha who is truly a sumptuous player, fast and a hawk in front of goal, really quick.

According to Fabrizio Romano he said when Real Madrid called Jose Mourinho for this job, they said to him that he being Jose Mourinho knows the team too well he knows how things work there and he knows the culture there, that they will need him to rebuild the team and fix things up, and he had no option than to take the job, so with that I now believe the team is under rebuild, so they should take things easy with Jose Mourinho, because he's still on the process and I truly believe he's definitely gonna figure things out.

I believe in Jose Mourinho because the situation the team was in a few days ago has now improved a lot. Any change needs time. And Madrid has been in a mess for the past 2 seasons, and now they will have to take several steps to correct it. If they cannot withstand this, I think it will not be possible to correct it properly. I think Real Madrid's luck is really good. They got someone as the team's coach at the beginning of the season who is already related to the club's culture. Since Mourinho arrived, the stars have started to align themselves in a way that they will end the season by winning. But football does not always work the same way. Madrid suffered a big defeat before meeting their eternal rivals. Which has very subtly exposed the mistakes inside Madrid. Now if Madrid and Mourinho can work on those mistakes and stop Barca, then new possibilities will be seen in La Liga.

I think we're just exaggerating when it comes to Real Madrid. They will definitely do well it's just that the club is finding it's difficulties to stand on their feet even after bringing in José Mourinho. It's very important Real Madrid bounce back because going trophyless this season will entirely be another hugh blow on their faces. Madrid president, Florentino Perez looking more confident to skyrocket Real Madrid to become that particular club that's most decorated in football history. José Mourinho should not be undermined, he will do extremely better this season. José Mourinho is using this time to make sure he reacts with Formidable strategy.
