La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[bangjoe]

It is evident that the intention is to build the team's game around Mbappé that is why they brought in Mourinho, and Real Madrid wants the play to revolve around him.
In my opinion, Mbappé still isn't quite delivering exactly what is expected of a pure center-forward. Cristiano Ronaldo had also pointed this out, noting that Mbappé is a winger.
Ronaldo was the same way, but he developed his game and became a complete center-forward. Mbappé is still going through that process, but he could succeed.

That is the wrong expectation if that is the goal, Mbappe is less suited to do that, in fact I prefer him on the wing and it is much more piercing, and he can be the main executor.
I don't think he will be able to follow what Ronaldo did, obviously having a different skill gap.
Actually Real Madrid can still play a more solid game without relying on one player like the era of its glory, now we can see that the current era of the game must be more ingenious and have a variety of strategies in attacking without focusing on a point that is easily read by the enemy.

[Pressurizedem]

The season has just started and only 7 matches have been played, we can never say who will win the trophy by looking at these matches.

But we can see and say who has higher potentials to win it,

With the way Barcelona started this season, they really show off that they have a very good potential of winning this season especially in a farmers league like this, where there are just few competition, that makes it more easier to just figure out who will bag the seasons trophy.

Where I want to see Lalliga teams performance is in the Champions league, where they will be meeting their mates. In Lalliga, they are just resting and are just facing teams that aren't good enough to remain in the premier league. I won't be exaggerating if I say that some Lalliga teams will not be in the premier league, they will find themselves in the championship.( England league 2)

Ream Madrid and Barca are the only true teams that I am sure they may be in the top six of the premier league table, else, any other team in the Lalliga will just survive the league , while others will be religated.

Real Madrid have already dropped point, but 31 match still remain.
So, Barcelona can certainly be considered to be in strong position right now, but in my opinion assuming the title is all but decided at such an early stage is bit too bold.

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.

[laijsica]

Perhaps a period of rivalry like the one you mentioned could emerge, provided he isn't fired early on like Xabi was. However, the team is currently trying to adapt to the tactics. Success similar to what Jose Mourinho achieved during his previous stint is expected this time around as well. They might focus more on the Champions League, while also needing to avoid defeat in La Liga.

I think the thing for Real Madrid right now is that they need to be more focused on the Laliga than they need to be in the championed league. In the Laliga, they’ve got just one competition to bet when it comes to the Laliga and that’s Barcelona. Beat them and the league might very much be guaranteed. The same can’t be said for the champions league, it’s a whole different ball game out there as, you’ve got several teams to beat including Barcelona yet again. So, the game isn’t really about the champions league this season for Real Madrid. It would be fine if they can do that but, it’s more about the Laliga.

If a team has the ability, it can win trophies by playing well in multiple competitions at the same time. Real Madrid is not in that good time at the moment, the team is just trying. There are more relatively easy opponents in La Liga, which is more than the number of strong opponents in the Champions League. If we think about it from that point of view,you are right Real Madrid will have to give more importance to any one tournament.

Barcelona was the only strong opponent for Real Madrid in the Spanish league but now the number of these opponents is increasing. Real Madrid has lost against Atletico Madrid and Real Betis.

Barcelona continues to dominate the tournament, in this situation Real Madrid has a chance but although the team has historically been strong it is not at the moment.

But this time Barcelona's performance is really impressive, especially the young players. Another big part of Barcelona's current success is the 19 years old forward Lamine Yamal, center back Pau Cubarsi, midfielders Gavi, Fermin Lopez and I think Real Madrid are far behind Barcelona in this area. The way they are playing with confidence in big matches at such a young age, challenging defenders and making a difference in attack is really amazing. On the other hand, if we look at Madrid, we see their lack of consistency and reliance on individual players which shows of their weakness.

No, Barcelona look more impressive, and it is not because of some of the players you mentioned, as they have already been there since last season. What makes Barcelona look impressive is the presence of Rodri, who is able to control the space between the defense and the attack while also distributing the ball accurately. On top of that, the presence of Adeyemi is another added strength that makes Barcelona even stronger.

On the other hand, if we look at Madrid, we see their lack of consistency and reliance on individual players which shows of their weakness.

Give Madrid one player like Rodri or Toni Kroos, and you would not be able to see Madrid's weaknesses. I am sure you know what I mean.

[X-ray]

The odds for the top scorer is already listed above. Raphinha is leading the way to become the top scorer this season. I'm not doubting he can beat Mbappe because his team is working perfectly to support him to always score. I always see him scored a lot in almost any of Barcelona games this season, then no reason to doubt his chance.



In result, i finally betting on Raphinha to be the top scorer this season due to how clinical he was combined with supportive team. Mbappe has to lift his Pichichi Trophy he won last season because Raphinha will be taking it.

1.80 for Raphinha to be the top scorer is legit. Don't you guys think to bet on it?

Rodri gave them chance to sign him, why do they abandon him?

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

[m4r1o]

Morinho was never going to be an immediate success at Madrid, they were definitely going to struggle as it's happening now, but one thing is for sure, they will surely blend well together with time, and get the kind of performance people expect of them. The thing about them is that most of their top players have not reached the level they were supposed to reach. They still need to train more together, play more games together in other to understand each other's pattern of play.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have known their biggest strength, they still have their old coach who knows how to use players. They brought in some good signings that will push them to the next level, and you can see it already from the games they've played so far this season. All they need to now is to be consistent in the way they play so that they can achieve their aim this season.

This Mourinho thing has to pass, also because he has to coach and he has to do it well, what has been in the past doesn't count anymore, they have to improve it now and they have to go and do well, it doesn't count for anything anymore, and the players are adjusting to the coach's new requests, they have new strong players.

[bastisisca]

Barcelona's frontline depends on the monstrous form Raphinha is in currently. Gabriel Jesus is doing the lords work by bullying the defenders and that's a nice tactical bonus for Flick, his main job is to free up space not necessary to be the clinical goal machine. But if by any chance Raphinha goes down with an injury, the team has no backup that can replace him. So they need to protect him at all cost, Flick can even sub him off early in smaller matches in the league.

I believe that Barcelona has this peculiarity of finding the best players to ensure that they are always the best, having the best attack at times allows you to be the best and Barcelona knows this very well, and that's why they always make the difference and know where to go.

[vogdivric]

In the Lalliga this season, so many players are going to be contending for the golden boot. There are lots of players who are currently doing well and are scoring more goals than I expected. Somebody like Raphina who seems to be the highest goal scorer  having played few games. We also have Mbape who always come out as the highest goal scorer and other notable names who will win the Golden boot.
Among all these contenders, Raphina has impressed me more because he's is just a winger, and I so much love when wingers carry the responsibility of scoring goals like this.

Barcelona have Gabriel Jesus who was bought form Arsenal, and I think he is a good addition to this current Barcelona squad that are on fire. With the pattern they are using, so many Barca players will be on the goals scorers chat this season than any other season.

I don't understand how there are always so many players who are so strong in just one league, once they were scattered across many leagues but now it seems like they're only in the league, this thing being Italian worries me a bit because there is no longer a team culture to look for new talents who can make the difference

[dollyamo]

A team's performance is not always same. Real Madrid's current situation is inconsistent, but they have a chance to improve. The season is still early, although they have lost matches. This has made them less confident, but their team strength is quite strong. They have strong players with enough experience. So there is no chance to say that their team is completely out of form. Barcelona is very strong now. They have won all the matches this season. From the state of their team, it seems that their consistency will not break so easily. So Real Madrid should not depend on when Barcelona starts playing badly and loses matches. Barcelona is clearly in a better position now, but Real Madrid has a chance to improve, they also have ability. I do not want to go into any ending prediction right now. Their condition can be judged by observing in the next few matches.

Real Madrid can't perform as well as Barcelona and this difference, even if it hasn't been highlighted by anyone, is clearly there in the environment and everyone knows it, they just have to move forward and do well, then if the results come, there will be a chance to compete with Barcelona.

[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.

[KTChampions]

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.
