La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Joeboy]

I agree with you about Barcelona, but I don't think winning against Real Madrid is guaranteed.
El Clasico is always a difficult game for both teams. This is a high-intensity match where both teams try to give everything, they even risk their prestige in it. Barcelona's performance so far has been perfect, but I've always seen a weakness that can still be exploited from back-row mistakes, often enough to allow them to concede. Barcelona are well organised because they play as a team without relying on one player, but El Clasico is not going to be an easy game.

I got so annoyed, doubted and even underestimated Real Madrid during their match against Roma yesterday especially after seeing Roma leading them 3:1... Honestly I didn't expect that bounce back at all...As the goals started coming in I was surprised that Real Madrid still had that fighting spirit in them...Though El Classico may just be difficult to predict since it hasn't really had a one-sided result over the years, but as of now I am more than certain that Real Madrid got it in them to compete with Barcelona and they might even get that win if Barcelona aren't careful... Barcelona shouldn't even think of resting their key players coz that may result in a big disaster for them..

Before their match against Real Madrid, Barcelona faces a challenging Champions League encounter in France against Paris Saint-Germain. In a sense, Real Madrid might be considered slightly more fortunate, given that Barcelona has this difficult fixture to navigate before the clash between the two. However, looking at the quality of play, I do not believe Real Madrid is currently strong enough to truly compete with Barcelona. While Real Madrid is certainly a good side, Barcelona is performing at an exceptional level this season the team closest to them in terms of quality is Paris Saint-Germain a matchup we will get to witness this Tuesday. Following that, we have the Real Madrid game over the weekend. I expect we are in for two demanding and highly entertaining matches involving Barcelona.

I bet you Barcelona won't try that, and it's funny how Real Madrid are now competitive because they came back against Roma ? Of all teams Real Madrid were struggling against Roma !!! That's tells us there state right now, we should be excited that they came back, we should panic that they let themselves concede 3 goals from a team that isn't that attack minded, what will happen when they meet an all attack team like Barcelona, that's when the panicking creeps in

[Youngrebel]

The El Classico clash is already being viewed by many as a game that Barcelona will dominate and win. Maybe we will not see a fiercely battled El Classico match this time around because of how well Barcelona is playing and dominated every bit of the game. Real Madrid was supposedly expected to come back from the international break bigger, better and stronger, but unfortunately they’re still the same people that you won’t expect anything special to come out of their clash in this El Classico game. Like others, I think Barcelona will win the El Classico flawlessly without having to be bothered of losing any point in that game.

Barcar dominate and win? Yes I know there are coming into this El Clásico with a lot of confidence, most especially looking at their recent performance and i give them hand for that but bacar know how to fall hand during the die minutes when you have put all hope that the trophy is they’d and dont also underestimate Real Madrid because El Clásico is not an ordinary game, and normally Madrid history they are very good at just giving their best when you don’t even expect it and  then bacar might be your favorites, but put it at the back of your mind that Madrid have enough strength and capacity to make things difficult for them.

Something is definitely happening in La Liga, something you can't ignore. It feels like the Clásico is already being conditioned beforehand. Giving Vini a red card when a yellow would have clearly sufficed is very troubling. I tend to be suspicious, and when I am, I'm usually right.

Many will disagree, but I feel like there's a war going on against Real Madrid through the refereeing. It's gone too far. Don't be surprised if Barcelona takes the Clásico because of all these subtle pushes and key Madrid players getting conditioned with cards.

What is this victim mentality from Madrid fans? Don't you guys get tired of it?
If you pull a player's hair, you get a red card. It's pretty simple, especially in the situation where Vini did it. These are the rules. Why does it feel different when it comes to Madrid?
Against Villarreal, Huijsen wrested a player to the ground in the box, it was given as a penalty and a red card. The red card was not given simply because he was the last man, it was given because he did not make any attempt for the ball, and he was the last man, meaning he stopped a goal-scoring opportunity, yet Madrid fans blamed the referee all game.
The same day Vini got that red card for pulling a player's hair, a Spanish player for the women's national team got sent off for pulling a player's hair.

Now, look at Vini's reaction after getting the red card. He literally had to be stopped from getting close to the referee by his teammates. I don't get it. Should the rules be forgotten when it comes to Real Madrid?
And I'm not going to come here and say the referees don't get some of the calls wrong or get some calls that are controvertail, but these things happen to every team.
Nobody is out to get at Madrid.

How do you convince yourself that Vini was suspended because they don't want him to play the calssico? Does Barcelona need Vini to be absent before they can win Madrid? For the last 5 times they've won Madrid, Vini was present, so why would they want Vini absent now?
Try to be objective.

Seeing the way Real Madrid played yesterday and how they conceded goals, there is nobody that is a madrid supporter or a football lover that wouldn't be angry with Real Madrid, despite the fact that the won that match, they've consistently in the last few games showed that they are not formidable enough to an extend. I understand that Jose Mourinho is still trying to build a team, but in building a team he needs to be getting results that will help build the confidence of the team.

If with the way they are playing they meet Barcelona in the El clasico, I'm not sure my support base will strongly slide towards Real Madrid, because it is obvious at this moment that Barcelona are more of a formidable team than Real Madrid, so at best I might just sit on the fence in that encounter.

[KTChampions]

Hahahahaha   You say!
Tell me, did you just drop from the moon? Or did I simply miss the irony? In 2021, Real Madrid came back from behind against PSG in 17 minutes, scoring 3 goals (from a 0-2 deficit), and that PSG was: Neymar, Mbappe, Messi. Real Madrid frequently mounts comebacks against Barcelona simply because the two clubs face each other so often. As for Manchester City - I honestly don’t know how you could have missed the last few years of the Champions League, during which Real Madrid pulled off some incredible comebacks that have gone down in both history and in meme culture.

Haha i didnt expect you would go to 2021 
The person you replied to is correct, and i agree with him too. You simply cant bring matches from ages ago in an argument that is about the recent forms of a team. Its true that madrid was able to comeback against PSG and other teams that you mentioned but it doesn’t mean that madrid would do the same. It is not in the state that it will easily come back against Barca or PSG. Its impressive that they came back against Roma but it’s a different deal when we talk against barca or PSG

Do you even realize what kind of nonsense you’re writing? Look, these are simple facts: Real Madrid has pulled off incredible comebacks against City, PSG, and Barcelona. Now, they’ve staged another comeback against Roma. This is an observable reality, not a fantasy. And now he, and you after him, are starting to pass off as fact the fact that “but Real Madrid couldn’t do that now.” Do you have any evidence? Maybe you are clairvoyant? In my view, if you want to avoid embarrassing yourself when making such bold claims, you should include qualifiers like "it seems to me"

I think I understand you and I understand the other guy but my honest opinion is that Barcelona and Paris Saint German are ahead of Real Madrid this season, it would be near impossible if Barcelona or Paris Saint German were to be leading Real Madrid and from the 82nd minutes of the game they come back to win that match.
Real Madrid has history of comebacks but if we are being realistic they aren't special this season so we just have to look at things critically.

[coinlary]

Fr you all need to chill about this Elclassico of a thing .

Let's not forget that there's a reason it is called Elclassico, that particular game is not on same level with very other Laliga games . Think of it more like  a finale game between two clubs.

Sure, Barcelona has the higher chance of winning it again this time around with the way they've been blasting everywhere lately and I'm also placing my best on them  to win but you guys are really underestimating what Realmadrid is capable of with the posts I'm seeing so far regarding Elclassico

[Jessie2121]

We all have been swimming around Madrid and Barcelona for almost the whole of this month and better part of last month but my focus today is the newly promoted club Dep. A Coruna, they have been handling the games they play very well, even if they are not winning all their games but their performance has been exceptional compared to the clubs that came with them. They have won 2 games draw 4 and lost 2 out of 8 games played this season in the La Liga. For their opponent Levante they have 1 win 3 draw and 3 lost game with a game at hand, is too poor and today it will be another disappointment for them because I believe with the pressure Dep. A Coruna dropping in on Real Sociedadin their last game Levante can't stand a chance of getting a win. My prediction will be a simple 3-1 to Dep. A Coruna.

Come on, there is no need to assume this is strange because we know that Vini's situation in last week's match was a little different where he committed a foul and the problem was the reaction caused afterwards so the sanction was bigger.
For an ordinary red card then this should not be a problem but Vini's own actions that make gestures and excessive protests make the sanctions a little heavier so we can not blame unnecessary things because here vini's temperament is also bad.

El Clasico there is still a chance, the Madrid players are still quite numerous so despite the disadvantage when there is no Vini (because usually he always plays well in el clasico) but this can also be a real advantage for Madrid looking for a new scheme.
Earlier this season Vini's performance dropped dramatically and consciously or not we certainly know it as a Madrid fan so by not forcing and looking for alternatives to other players assigned to the left side because at this time the left position is quite young rotated considering Yan Diomande could be in an ideal position or maybe want to try a new scheme with Espi as a targetman and Mbappe as a left winger is also still effective.

In addition, before talking further in El Clasico we know this week Madrid still have to play against Sevilla. Although this is not a difficult opponent in terms of players but with the performance now it can be troublesome and they need to focus on Sevilla first before El Clasico.

Personally, I might not underestimate Real Madrid, but I had my doubts about them after they fell behind by so many goals. So I really thought there was no way Real Madrid could turn things around. Maybe all I could hope for at that point was a draw. But yeah, they pulled off a truly dramatic victory that showed this team’s mentality is still just as strong as ever.

As for El Clásico, to be honest, I’m still pessimistic about Real Madrid’s style of play. This team is strong but still inconsistent in delivering its best performance. This is in contrast to Barcelona, which has truly shown that it’s very mature.

[Agbamoni]

Vinicius has been suspended. He is set to miss 4 matches for Real Madrid following violent misconduct in the last match, where he received a red card.

The matches he will miss include;

Sevilla
Barcelona (El Clásico)
Racing Santander
And Valencia

Vinicius Jr will miss the El classico this season following the red card in his last La Liga game and many Madrid fans have come out to say that he didn't deserve it but his manner of approach towards the referee after been issued a red card says it all. Real Madrid are just not going to appeal or push forward because they will to it that Vinicius Jr serve his banned.

Vinicius Jr is not the player that have been given hope to Real Madrid recently rather there's presence of other superstars like Yan Diomande, Kylian Mbappe, Espi and Arda Guler couple up with Jude Bellingham. We're referring to players that will carried the club on their shoulders when all hope is lost but for Vinicius Jr, he's still very active but his recent form doesn't talk any otherwise.

Sincerely, Vinicius lacks proper conduct. He was punished in this manner for violent misconduct. With a highlight that proves Vinicius reacted aggressively when he was shown the red card. The penalty for his actions is well deserved. AFAIK, no player is bigger than the club, the league, and FIFA. The laws must stand even if it is the most favorite player.

Well, that's true. Vinicius is no more than the center of attention in Real Madrid. In the last match, he was benched before he was subbed on for a few minutes, he scored and got that red card. Without him, the club will do just fine.

Just by looking at the result of one match we can never say that their performance has improved and they will win all the matches. Yes I am not underestimating Real Madrid, if Barcelona underestimates Real Madrid on the field then the match will be very bad for Barcelona. But Barcelona is a much stronger team than Roma, if we compare the current team with Roma then Barcelona is ahead in all aspects. We can clearly see how aggressive Barcelona has become and how good form they are going through.

I watched the match with Roma till 80 minutes then I got excited and stopped watching and after some time I re-entered and saw Real Madrid ahead, then I regretted why I did not watch the match. Real Madrid started well I hope they can maintain this performance

Vinicius Jr is now seen as a player that chase clout on the pitch, always doing drama. This is absolutely not working because tell me how they're stable with Vinicius Jr? He's not making any more chances or doing a stellar performance on the pitch, he's changing and absolutely not making any demand to change the pattern of the team. The earlier josé Mourinho start using Yan Diomande over Vinicius Jr, the better. Infact this red card will make Vinicius Jr lose more form or he will lockin and trained harder just to bounce back.

Yan Diamond isn't an that a good substitute for Vini. Mourinho needs to discipline Vini better and help him improve in his form. For now, Diamonde still needs some improvement as well to perform better. The problem with Vini is unnecessary pride and arrogance. His red card was so uncalled for. Now he's been issued 4 match ban for hair pulling, meaning he'll miss El-Classico on the 25th. Yan Diamond would have more playing time with Vini's a sense. It's a good time to improve better in play. Endrick is also available, the talented player helped properly against Roma. Mourinho had enough options to deploy in Vini's absence.

Exactly, i also think the same thing, Real Madrid is just as strong as Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain which is doing well better than them, but we don't always think that Real Madrid is less strong, this makes me think that we could expect anything in the next period, there are teams that are returning to form and Real Madrid could do the same.

I am so happy Arsenal did not end up winning  the race for Vinicius' Junior last summer. His rumour was all over the Internet about a potential move to the Emirates even to the extent that he followed most of Arsenal players on Internet. He would have been the flop of the Summer at Arsenal if he was signed. Jose Morinho really has a great work at hand to be able to make Vinicius come back to his best of he will ever be at his best again.

However, I know that Morinho is still being patient with him, and will drop him with time for Diomande. He is just respecting the contract he signed, that he would be seeing regular game time, because that was why Vinicius was agitating, he was very sensible of putting that in his contract because he knew times would come when he wont be able to perform well again. Diomande is his replacement, and only time will take for him to be used regularly.

I think Vinicius is making far too many mistakes because of his emotions at the moment. First of all, he received a four match suspension in La Liga, and that's entirely his own fault. He's already letting the team down because of it. Secondly he also had a very poor game against Roma in the Champions League. There was even a particular incident highlighted in the match review where Vinicius lost the ball in the middle of the pitch after attempting an ill advised backheel pass. Mourinho pointed out that moment, and Real Madrid essentially conceded after that mistake, Mourinho then substituted him. Vinicius was unhappy and angry about being taken off, but I think he's causing the team more problems than he's solving at the moment. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if Mourinho stays on as Real Madrid's manager and eventually decides to get rid of Vinicius, provided the player doesn't get his emotions under control.

DEP. A CORUNA are the favourites in this game and I think they will win and if Levante are in form today, they will draw but I don't see Levante winning this game but they might just draw and I think both teams will score based on the weak defence of both teams, the will definitely be a goal but Dep. A CORUNA are the favourites are might win this game because they have a home advantage and not only that, they have not lost their Friday games for a while now at home in Laliga and Levante are winless in their last 5 away games and in this 5 away games, they have not won any second half goal in those games. But let's see how everything will play out.
