La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[B2Z]

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.

Even with Barcelona's shaky defense, I don't think they will concede more than 1 goal from Real Madrid if they were to meet, that's how bad I have placed Mbappe and his wife Vinicius, alot of controversy is going around that this current Vinicius is a fake, I don't know about that but his performance recently has been shocking.


 

It is clear that Real Madrid can lose to Barcelona again this season, but it cannot be said that they will definitely lose. Barcelona's midfield is great, similarly, every position of Real Madrid is great, but perhaps Real Madrid is most tense with their defense lineup. When the transfer market was open, Madrid made one contract after another and looking at their contracts, it seemed that they would win this season's Champions League and La Liga and other titles at any cost, but they have already lost two matches in the opening few matches of La Liga, due to which they are already far behind Barcelona in the points table. However, I expect Real Madrid to come back in the El Clasico match and they should beat Barcelona.

Barcelona is not necessarily built around Lamine Yamal and Raphinha but in games where they are absent to an extent it can ve felt but since how Barcelona have been fairing since the beginning of the season, we can say this can be different.

To be honest, we didn't expect Barcelona to be able to get a lot of goals after not signing a proper striker as replacement for Lewandowski but they have been excellent thus far.

No, Barcelona is well-built, player by player. It seems like every piece has been put in the right place. You can see when teamwork, starting from defense and extending to attack, makes the difference. Having two attacking wingers like Lamine and Raphinha certainly brings Barcelona many advantages, without a doubt.

Seriously, and it's going to affect the club season as a whole when key players if certain top teams are all out injured and sidelined for some couple of weeks depending on the injury. It's just that players still need to represent their countries in international games like this, apart from that there's absolutely no reason why they should be put in harms way. I read a conversation between Zidane and Olise concerning him returning Olise back in one piece so that Kompany doesn't kill him jokingly though. The clubs bears more if the burdens in players because they are the ones who pay their wages round the clock, I can understand why some clubs don't like releasing their players for international duties.

Of course, we joke when we talk about certain situations, because when you're connected to this sport, you can't help but be there. And especially when there are key and indispensable players, you can't help but hope for luck and that they don't get injured.
And that's what happened between Vincent Kompany and Zidane during the international break.

You're almost right with what you've just written, but it seems you are not watching Barcelona games, and you are equally not watching Paris Saint Germain games also, like the difference is very clear, like I really think it's a no match for Barcelona be it home game or away game, it's a direct winning for Barcelona, yes Paris Saint Germain might be looking all dangerous in recent seasons, but for this season I don't really see them as threat, in other words Paris Saint Germain is losing that game against Barcelona comes rain come sun, and I'm very much certain of this.

The home or away argument is baseless imo, it doesn’t matter if the game is played at home or away if a team is calm and composed they can perform better at both. As for Barca then they are in a way better form than PSG and i believe they can easily beat them no matter home or away. Barca last season was fabulous and this season they are beyond that level and i think that the champions league is going to come to barca as i dont see any competition

PSG are a threat and will always be a force to reckon with in the UCL. Even though they are having a slightly shaky start in their ligue 1 campaign this season, they still have that world class squad with lots of individual star power that can at any point do damage to their opponent even when the team is playing badly. Champions League matches are different and the energy and mentality in that atmosphere is different compared to the regular league fixtures.

The assertions some of us are saying about Real Madrid is coming from believe in a team action rather than what they can peform for the season. I have watch some quite few games of Real Madrid and Barcelona because it's not interesting to me again and I can bodly point out some mistakes of Barcelona but it can't stop them from winning but I can look at Real Madrid mistakes and see that they don't have anything to win this league if they continue to play this way.

Their first mistake which everyone has pointed here is extending that Vinicious boy contract, it has zero reflection on the team or should I say he has become a headache to the team. I have watch games Guler made one on one pass to him but he doesn't return ball even if there is opportunity to score, but with Vinicious, he do return the ball back to Arda when there is chance to score, he scored a goal with when they played against Vallencano. I don't really understand his purpose on that club anymore.

[giorgione]

Barcelona consistency keeps increasing and we all know that already and them bringing rodri was actually a good things because this have helped Barcelona even become better than what they played Las season and there is no much doubt that Barcelona is going to win this season again because we don't see any one winning it other than them.  And if they are targeting the champions league that will be another different thing entirely because there more stronger clubs than Barcelona that will make that dream coming true very hard so it is not as if it is not possible but I expect a different winner for the Champions League.

And not just working hard can keep you in the Champions League because your opponents are also doing the same thing so we just have to understand the fact that you have a strong squad does not really guarantee that you are going to win because they are other stronger clubs from othere leagues and that is why it is called the champions league because it's a title that must be fought for, now the question is do Barcelona have what it takes to win the champions League, because psg also have the intention of also winning the champions league again the league is very competitive.

Rodri's arrival at Barcelona was undoubtedly the best signing the Blaugrana made this year, as he brings great balance and diversity to the midfield, reflecting the classic Blaugrana style of play. And being a compatriot of many of his teammates also makes things easier, in addition to his ability to play vertically.

alot of controversy is going around that this current Vinicius is a fake, I don't know about that but his performance recently has been shocking.

Where did you learn about that controversy? Was it from a particular article?

People seem to be going overboard with their criticism of Real Madrid and even some of their players at the moment. They seem to forget how Vinicius has contributed to the team since joining Real Madrid and helped them win several trophies. Of course, Real Madrid’s squad is currently going through a difficult period, and that cannot be denied. But, people should realize that any team can go through the same kind of situation as Real Madrid, and they should not be so quick to make harsh criticisms of individual players.

Everyone knows that Vinicius contributed to Real Madrid success in the past few years, but we should also know that not only Vinicius, he played together with Toni Kroos and Luca modric, who are the two best midfielders in the world, and since they left Real Madrid the team completely changed, Real Madrid have become a team that even the fans did not know the club they are supporting, Vinicius performance completely changed, he is not the same player we use to know.

The main reason why people are worry about Vinicius is because if he play well he win games for the team and he also demanded for his salary to be increased and the club do so because they trusted, Vinicius performance is currently worse than 2018 Vinicius, he can’t dribble, he can’t score, he is missing a lot of chances, these are the reasons why Real Madrid fans are not happy with him.

Barcelona were great last season but the team doesn't give the UCL the same importance as the Spanish league or they can't maintain their performance because of the strong competition there. Due to the busy schedule, good teams can't maintain their consistency in multiple tournaments. No matter how good Barcelona is in form, many players in the team can't maintain their form at the end of the season.

The match between PSG and Barcelona in the Champions League will be very competitive but if you have to say the favorite team it's Barcelona. The team is in great shape at the moment and has become unstoppable. You have put Barcelona ahead in terms of getting the Champions League trophy but I think another team will win this trophy.

[cande86]

You will only see a team backsliding once any of their key players sustain an injury and providing that coach doesn't have any replacement but process whereby a team like back Barcelona that has prominent keys players that can conver any players that is still undergoing treatment, so I'm do gives Barcelona that respect when they are facing so much injury crisis, so if any teams can adopt the strategies of Barcelona by being able of holding or maintaining their winning without the Yamal being featured in the match, i don't think any clubs will be panicking if eventually the injury hit any of their keys players.

Relegation is certainly a strong word.

We can say that we'll see a team that, without adequate substitutes in the various roles where a replacement is needed, would certainly become a weak link for the team, where the opponents can exploit them to gain points.

That’s exactly right even though Vini’s performance isn’t as good as it used to be, he’s clearly made a huge contribution to Real Madrid. So, it’s not right to criticize Vini too harshly, because I’m absolutely convinced that his decline in performance is clearly due to poor teamwork. This makes it seem as though Vini isn’t performing well, when in fact it’s not just Vini whose play looks lackluster the other players on Real Madrid are in the same boat. So right now, to get Real Madrid performing well again, it’s clear that teamwork is what needs to be improved, because that’s the most important factor. Because if we only blame one player, that’s clearly unfair. After all, soccer is a team sport, not an individual one.

I share the same light with you, I have consistently said that vinicius is one of the strongest pillars that the Madrid team is leaning on, he has the pace, he has determarity to push the ball to the opponent defence, he is incredible with his passing skills, what more are they looking for from vinicius, this is a man I believe up to this moment, that a Ballon d'or was stolen from him. Whatever challenge the Madrid team is having at the moment is temporarily, the idea of a new coach bringing new tactics will definitely take a little while before it's full implementation will be seen.

[yourmamam]

Yes, I also didn't find any news anywhere that said that Yamal was injured, so perhaps the information these two people read was clearly inaccurate. Because Yamal is currently not injured. Besides, if we talk about what would happen if Yamal were injured, it certainly wouldn't be good either, because in a soccer team, even one main player is injured and absent, it will clearly have a significant impact. Moreover, if the coach is unable to rotate well, it will certainly make the team's performance suffer greatly. But I believe Hansi Flick is a very great coach and he has experience in how to keep the team strong even with several main players injured. So even though Raphinha is currently injured, I am sure Hansi Flick will have a solution to this. And besides, Raphinha is also reported to be able to strengthen Barcelona again when they face Getafe. So that is clearly very good news. Because to be honest, I feel a little less confident if Raphinha doesn't play.

Barcelona still has two top-tier players in Lamin Yamal and Raphinha, who already made the difference for the team last year. Yamal is not injured and has found in Hansi Flick a coach who has been able to take the squad and bring out the best in the players, thus calculating an excellent rotation of players depending on the competition. Raphinha, Yamal and Gordon are very strong and know what they have to do.

All what you are saying is not new when it comes to football, Vinicius Junior have contributed a lot to Real Madrid and now they are shouting on him simply because he could not be able to give them that joy they were receiving from him in the past. Take a look at how Cristiano Ronaldo was treated in the national team, which I believe it is not new because they have all done that in the past to some greatest players. I haven't give up in Real Madrid because the journey is still far and most of these people are usually Barcelona fans because currently they are doing very well, but I only say it their time.

[Davidloki]

We are all essentially basing our comments on how Barcelona has performed against other teams. Of course, anything is possible when facing a powerhouse like Real Madrid. I believe Real Madrid undergoes a special preparation process for El Clásico matches; assuming Barcelona does the same, any outcome is certainly possible. Everyone might view Barcelona as the favorite right now because they are playing so well, but no one should be surprised if Real Madrid wins.

Real Madrid is also a big team like Barcelona and were once the dominators in the league until recently, so anything can happen in that game. Both Raphinha and Kylian Mbappe would be available for that game after a slight injury with their country matches and it would make the match a bit more competitive as it should be.

It would also be a grand show to contribute to who the Ballon D'or winner could be, between Mbappe and Lamine Yamal, no football lover would want to miss that.

If all of them will be available in the game, we will be happy because of fans that will have excuse when they lose the match; but if everyone is available in the match and fit, it will be a complete squad and the outcome will determine the best team in Laliga.

Right now, Barcelona is the best team based on performances so far in Laliga, they have 100% record by winning all their matches, and with this squad, I don’t think Real Madrid will be capable to withstand them, that is why I think it is better to have full squad so that they will be proof to us that they can win Barcelona and compete for the title.

It's too early to talk about the Ballon d'Or, but the competition for the best players must involve winning La Liga and the European Champions League. El Clasico is still an internal battle within La Liga, while the Ballon d'Or is awarded to the best player awarded to the player who contributes the most, not just in La Liga. Regardless, I see El Clásico on October 25th as a highly anticipated match considering that after playing internationally for their country on the FIFA agenda, the players reuniting to play together is very exciting for the fans. I'm really looking forward to the match, considering that Mourinho arrival as Real Madrid coach will also heat up the match with his distinctive commentary style.

Wow you just called Vini the wife of Mbappe, athough you have a point, I also think the same because the vinicius we have watched playing for Realmadrid for some years now seem to have changed, and it has generated a lot of question, and it is better for us to ask where is the original Vini, is his mind not in Realmadrid again, if he has made up his mind to leave the club why not stand on that decision and bounce, vinicius use to be a fantastic player, but what went wrong, Realmadrid players have left me with no other option than to believe that they have other things in mind, because their performance is below expectation.

real madrid use to be a serious club but with what we are see now is not the real madrid we know and am already tired with them so i feel like barcelona is more stable because the kind of player that barcelona have they are performing very well,  than that of real madri because we can see the effort that mbappe and others are putting but they are getting limited result and for that i feel like it will be better for them to learn and we are still waiting to see what jose is going to do to the club.

It would also be a grand show to contribute to who the Ballon D'or winner could be, between Mbappe and Lamine Yamal, no football lover would want to miss that.

And we are going to be surprised to see who is going to win the balloon D, or so there is enough reason for us to know that yamal to have a very good chance of winning the balloon D, and this is why I feel like there is more to who is going to win, and his contribution to Barcelona is quite impressive.

If both Raphinha and Mbappe play in El Clasico, the match will be very exciting. So I also want them both to be on the field. But both of them cannot be considered excited and available for sure. If we talk about Raphinha's problem, he felt pain in his thigh during the game against Australia and was tested and found muscle swelling. Which is probably why Brazil released him from the squad as a precaution. Although the problem is not that serious, Barcelona has not officially declared him fit for the match on October 25.

Mbappe's situation is almost the same. He has hyperextension in his knee and we are waiting to see how he recovers. So although both of them are likely to play, nothing can be said for sure until the medical clearance comes.
