La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Bitcoin_people]

Barcelona playing well in the absence of Lamine Yamal or not, the big deal is they're definitely gonna felt his absence on their upcoming games, note just Lamine Yamal alone on the pitch is already a wining advantage, because I actually sees him as a cheat in that Barcelona team, like only him is approximately 2 players combined, so this injury will really have an effect on them, I only hope it doesn't take too long for him to come back to the game, because even if there's anything I enjoy in that Barcelona team, it must be Lamine Yamal's present.

Lamine is definitely a very important player for the team, but if Lamine's absence puts the team in a bad position or if Barcelona cannot play without him, then it is definitely a bad side for Barcelona. If a team is built around only one player, then it is definitely not a good decision for that team. Because a player can suffer from injury. Hopefully, Barcelona can maintain their current performance without Lamine and will be able to move forward in the same way. If we see a match, we will understand how strong Barcelona is without Lamine.

I don't know the source that you guys get news from but Lamine Yamal is very fit to play without any injury concern. It's Raphinha that got injured and it was gathered that it wasn't a serious injury, it's just a muscle edema in his right thigh. I think that Raphinha injury is even the one that is supposed to raise concern for Barcelona because of his goalscoring adventure. Lamine Yamal is only a playmaker but Raphinha delivers most of the work.

Lamine Yamal is not seriously injured and is fit enough to play, but many think that he may have been injured but he is not fit enough. However, the issue of Raphinha is a bit serious for the team as he has pulled a muscle, which is why he will be absent. If Raphinha does not play in the match, it will be a great weakness for the team because the performances he has started this season for Barcelona are really extraordinary. Barcelona will have a lot less confidence without him, we can see that he scores goals in every match and how important a player he is. However, we are hopeful that Raphinha will return to the team very soon and we will see him on the field. His muscle strain is not very long-term, he will recover quickly.

Lately in the Spanish media I see Madrid and Barcelona still struggling with the Negreira case. Even if you see posts on x these two clubs each release a statement. Not only inside the field but outside the field the situation is no less hot and exciting. At the end of the month the El Clasico will take place and the first El clasico will certainly be full of drama, outside problems between these two clubs could be brought into the field during the match later.

I don’t think Real Madrid have that many chances of beating Barcelona given the current form of both teams. At best, I think that if Real’s attack performs well, we could see a lot of goals. At worst, if Real’s defense has a bad game, we could see another heavy defeat to Barcelona. Overall I’m not particularly impressed with how Mourinho has been doing at Real Madrid so far, but perhaps things will change after the international break.

[bastisisca]

I looked at Barcelona fixtures for the rest of October, I don't think there is any match that will be difficult in there except for Real Madrid and PSG. The Champions League features is not only for Barcelona, it is for all the team that are in the Champions League. I believe Real Madrid is there too, same as Atletico Madrid. If there is going to be stress for all teams, not only Barcelona will suffer there, all top teams that are fighting for the first place will be there.

Only Raphina is the affected player and I don't think the injury is a major one that will make him absent from Barcelona matches. If there is emergency, there is at least more than 5 players that are on the bench that will handle his place very well. Barcelona might just win these matches without worrying about their timeline features the way we are concerned about it.

Certainly, the only more complicated matches, as is only right, are the ones against Paris Saint-Germain and the one against Real Madrid. Otherwise, they're having a fairly calm spell, and i don't see any particular problems for Barcelona in getting the points they need to move as far forward as possible.

UEFA is releasing a new statement about they received files from Madrid related to the Negreira. So it looks like Negreira's case will continue, and i think UEFA must be fair because Negreira is one of bad scandal happened in La Liga.
I remember it was quite obvious Negreira's company received money sent directly from Barca's president company at that time. So it can also be considered as a corrupt and bribe.

It seems after City, we will have Barcelona to be investigated by UEFA. I wonder what kind of sanction from UEFA if they find Barcelona really paid Negreira to favor them.

Can you guess what it is?

Going by the current form of Barcelona it will be very difficult for Barcelona to be defeated by Madrid. Madrid is not in the best of their forms as they has struggled with form and dropped points and even struggled to win game's. Except something extra ordinary happens in his game Barcelona is the one that is going to win this game as they are the favourite team based on current form, but one thing about football is it's unpredictable manner, so we should not also write Madrid off as we can see surprise in this game because, Mourinho as a manager knows how important this game is when it comes to the Spanish la Liga. He will not like to lose his first El Clasico on his return to Madrid as coach again. A loss will not be a good one for Madrid especially to the reputation of the manager.

The criticism you are making about these two has been expressed by many people in the past and even among my friends there is a lot of analysis about their style of play and personal performance. In fact, I have seen more arrogance in Vinnie than Mbappe. Vinnie is relatively self-centered to increase his number of goals. Mbappe is a good finisher and he has the ability to run with the ball and score goals, Vinnie is far behind. It would be appropriate to use him only for assists and he will score goals when he gets the chance, but in some matches I have seen him keep the ball with him and run without passing the ball, so he most of the time cannot reach the target and miss easy opportunities to score and the team suffers.

The both of them are unique in their own way but we will analyse it always, I agree with you in the difference you gave between both of them. Vinicus is more greedy than Mbappe, vinicus should understand that his more of a playmaker than a goalscorer, he should focus more on creating chances which includes releasing the ball when necessary and scored when the opportunity presents itself. Mbappe is a better goalscorer and sometimes he took creates chances, they have a role to play in the betterment of the team if they understand their various roles in the team. I wish these two can understand their various roles and start working towards it.

I agree with you . Although it is not right to predict who will win in El Clásico in advance, but currently comparing Barcelona with Real Madrid, it is clearly understood that Barcelona is in a strong position. According to the last 7 matches Real Madrid is behind Barcelona in all aspects. Barcelona has won all matches, scored more goals than Real Madrid. Barcelona has also conceded fewer goals than Real Madrid. And Barcelona's attack is very strong, all their players are performing well. And Raphinha is in extraordinary form. If Real Madrid keeps him in the marking, then the rest of the strikers will be able to take advantage of the opportunity. We are used to seeing the kind of competitive match in previous El clasico , maybe we will see single dominating this time, especially Barcelona will be in a good position.

For the time being there is no good chance of winning to beat Barcelona, Real Madrid are in a state that is not solid, both in defense and in attack, even I see their midfield is quite strange from previous years I noticed in every game.
Let's see the Madrid derby yesterday, even to play the ball well, they don't have it, what hope can convince us that they can win for the next few games with Mourinho who I think his strategy or their style of play that is not identical as we know Real Madrid.

Previously thought some supporters would see a significant change, but, we saw two defeats in the initial 7 league games, while rivals finished perfectly.

[changaa]

I don't see any obvious conflicts between them, so I think they already work well as a team. They each have their own ambitions and want to score goals, but if one of them occasionally chooses not to pass to the other, I don't think that's necessarily a sign of a conflict. Sometimes it's just a bad decision, or there are situations where they make that choice and end up scoring anyway. So I think some competition between the forwards is perfectly normal. Overall, I like the way Vinicius and Mbappe link up with each other.

is something you only understand when you step onto the pitch as a striker. What goes on in your head in front of the goalkeeper. is hard not to be selfish when you're one step away from scoring a goal and making an entire stadium cheer. So you have to focus solely on the team's well-being, to be in front of goal and put a teammate in the best possible condition to score without shooting selfishly.

Even the smaller teams in La Liga have become tough opponents for Real Madrid, and in away matches, Real Madrid is more likely to lose points. With such a team, it will be difficult for Madrid to survive in the fight against Barcelona, ​​which is in top form. There has been no change in the team after Mourinho came, no improvement is seen. On the contrary, I see more deterioration.

Real Madrid has already fallen far behind Barcelona. There is a possibility that they will lose more points in the first half of the season. Even before the El Clasico match, Real Madrid will fall far behind, and a defeat in El Clasico will be equivalent to losing the title.

It baffles me how people are always quick to call a striker selfish when he tries to focus on hitting the back of the net for the team. A strikers sole purpose is to score goals and increase chances of the team's success and also that's how his value increases and when he doesn't score the same people call him flop and insult him on the media.

Barcelona are having a good time and might not have any issue against their opponents unfortunately. In as much as I hate it to say it since I rather side with Real Madrid always Barcelona are in a better position to win and that's the same for PSG..

I know some individuals will want to doubt the fact that they have an hedge against PSG but they fo especially since it's still a group stage game and so PSG losing such will not end their Champions league pursuit this season.

It might be the opposite. PSG won Barcelona last season in the group stage 2-1 and I don't think that it'on be easy for Barcelona to win them. You are right, even if PSG gets defeated, it wouldn't change anything because this is the group stage and not a knockout stage. However, we shall see who will win the game.

I wish these two can understand their various roles and start working towards it.

I have always known that Vini's performance has dropped significantly in recent times, but there's something I find quite interesting, and it points to the fact that Vini's decline is not entirely Real Madrid's problem. We all can agree that they've been struggling as a team for the past 2 seasons without any major trophies, but when you take a look at Vini's stat from the 21/22 to 25/26 season, you will notice a pattern of goals and assists that he keeps delivering. I thought he didn't do much last season until I looked at his stat... it was not entirely different from what he's been producing in the past.

Is he struggling?... YES, but I also think we're putting too much focus on him while neglecting other important positions like the defense and midfield. Let's not forget that this decline started when top midfielders like Kroos and Modric left. I might be wrong though, but this is what I've come to notice.

Yes, the main work of a striker is to score goals when they see an opportunity. But let’s not forget that some strikers can be selfish because there are some balls that I believe they also know they should pass. Passing the ball may make it easier for their teammate to score, but some strikers will try to force the ball and still be unable to convert the opportunity into a goal.If a striker knows they are in a tight corner and need to force the ball, while their teammate has a better opportunity to score, it is better for the striker to pass the ball. It is also part of a striker’s job not only to score, but also to work as a team and do the right thing at the right time.There are some opportunities that strikers waste when they have the chance to pass to their teammates but refuse to do so because of selfishness. If they had passed the ball, it might have resulted in a goal.For a team to be successful, they need teamwork.asist is also a great achievement for striker.

Mourinho hasn’t been doing that great since he took over as the manager of the team, we expected more from him and to our greatest surprise, he’s doing less than anticipated from him. He is an experienced coach and everyone was anticipating for something bigger, maybe his experience will not work for Real Madrid now and he’s now old style. There is still a lot of time until this season is over and I hope that he can prove himself more of being the best man for this position. Getting him sacked during the season or just after one season won’t really make a lot of sense, I hope he improves after the international break.

I completely agree, Barcelona is in much better form and I think they might be the best team in the world right now. Real Madrid, on the other hand, makes their fans nervous in every match; I think they seem like they could make a mistake and concede a goal at any moment. In some matches they play very well and dominate their opponents, but they can't always do that. This situation shows that Barcelona is statistically and psychologically a much stronger and better team in El Clasico

Lamine is definitely a very important player for the team, but if Lamine's absence puts the team in a bad position or if Barcelona cannot play without him, then it is definitely a bad side for Barcelona. If a team is built around only one player, then it is definitely not a good decision for that team. Because a player can suffer from injury. Hopefully, Barcelona can maintain their current performance without Lamine and will be able to move forward in the same way.

However, we are hopeful that Raphinha will return to the team very soon and we will see him on the field. His muscle strain is not very long-term, he will recover quickly.

I had this fear about Barcelona a few days ago. What will happen if Raphinha gets injured, what will be the situation of the team? And I got a very easy answer to it. If we look at the Barcelona squad, we will see that they have many good players. Who may not be able to play completely like Raphinha, but they will try to maintain the continuity of the team for a while. Football can never be played depending on one player. Barcelona is in its current position by using the right combination and the coach's strategy. But yes, Raphinha has become someone in the team without whom the team now feels very empty. If Raphinha gets seriously injured again for a long time, Barcelona will face difficulty. Because someone will have to be in the starting eleven  even if he plays well, will not be able to be a goal scorer like Raphinha. All in all, it can be seen that Barcelona is in a system where the team can maintain their continuity even if one or two players get injured. I don't think there's much reason to worry about Barcelona.

I wish these two can understand their various roles and start working towards it.

You are basically right about the role of each of these players, but as one of the famous players, it feels like Vini also wants to stand out more than his teammates. Vinicius tends to like playing freely instead of just being a support player for the centre-forward, which means he also wants to score more goals and win various individual awards. We know Mbappe is a centre-forward whose only dominant role is scoring goals, but I don't think Vinicius is happy with that because with him his goal stats wouldn't be any better.

Being in the shadow of Mbappe is basically very unpleasant for Vinicius. He is a great player and has skills above the average of other players, but it may be his destiny that the winger will not be more dominant than the center-forward of Real Madrid.

The rise of this Negreira case news is really weird. Maybe Perez is panicking afraid that Madrid will go 3 times without a title because when Madrid was at the top and winning titles this case was pretty chill. So it's clear who’s obsessed with their rival. Besides, UEFA already said they would follow the Spanish court's decision, but the Spanish court said the case is expired because it’s been more than 3 years since the reporting and investigation.

On top of that, why has this case only come up in the last 2 years? Why during Barcelona dark times was this case buried and Perez wasn't so eager like now?? 2020-2023, what happened to this case?? It's like it just conveniently pops up now that Barcelona is doing better. And just before El Clasico, but instead of Madrid preparing tactics, they’re busy spreading propaganda and accusing here and there.
