La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Popkon6]

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.

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.

Real Madrid team is in a very good position in the current position, they are ready to make a different kind of record this time. Because if they can maintain their performance like they are performing against strong teams and can stay until the end of this season, then of course Real Madrid team will be able to put pressure on any team and win and win the league. So at the moment I am ready to bet on Real Madrid, but if there is a performance with PSG team then there will definitely be a tight competition between the two teams. Real Madrid team is able to survive in this competition.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I don't know if we can attribute Barcelona's success only to the fact that they have referee help, obviously we are talking about two of the strongest teams in all the leagues and not just the La Liga, they are teams that always like to dominate and it doesn't surprise me that there are many haters between the two factions, but i don't think it's right to say that they have referee help.

At a footballing level, they're very good, that can't be denied; but you know, the problem I'm talking about with the refereeing isn't new. It stems from the Negreira case, and when everything comes to light, it could expose a huge amount of corruption within the team. Besides, I feel like there's a refereeing war going on against Real Madrid; the referees have a lot of power.

Just so you understand, it's true that yesterday, right before Real Madrid played their Champions League match, which they won in a very exciting way, Vinicius was told that his red card suspension was four games. I mean, you can't play with the psychological well-being of the player and the team; it's not right, it's too much of a coincidence.

[Shineup]

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.

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.

It's obvious most of you seem not to understand how this things work nowadays, how can you suggest they bench Vinicius, when you knew too well it's not possible, like despite whatever might be happening around him at this point in time, do not forget his one of the star player in the Real Madrid team, and his presence alone on the pitch is a big threat to his opponent, wether he perform good or not, he must divide the attention of his opponent, and that alone can make the other inform players to do the dirtys, so Jose Mourinho won't even think of benching him for anyone in anyway.

There are many logic to be made about Vinicius being benched but the extent of his justification is debatable. You can't neglect Vinicius performances. He's not even performing very well. This player is currently in a stable state of form but he is an important winger for Real Madrid. He has played 8 games in the Spanish league but has scored only 1 goal and assisted 3 goals. There is no way to neglect these statistics but many fans expect more from him.

He is playing his normal game in this bad time for Real Madrid but there is criticism that he is self-centered and arrogant. But he is making an important contribution to the team and is assisting goals. Mourinho may test him by keeping him on the bench for a few matches and giving a chance to the substitutes, but it may not be fair to not put him on the field in the long run.

Real Madrid team is able to survive in this competition.

Instead I will try to avoid betting on Real Madrid for a while. If you refer to the last few games the performance of the players is very inconsistent. The problem is always front and center. You watched the game against Roma? what a mess the formation of Mbappe, Vinicius and Diomande. Instead, the game is more effective when Arda Güler comes in, Espi is ready to welcome the ball, even Endrick.
With a game like this and will play El Clasico, Madrid's chances are still very low to be able to conquer Barcelona.

[paco92x]

This week, Barcelona finally have a good test in front of them: an away trip to Betis, who are regularly performing well, as they do every season. In recent years, Barça haven't had the easiest time against Betis. They won their last game 5:3, but it wasn't an easy one.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, have what might be an easier game against a slightly surprising Sevilla side. They have been dwelling in mediocrity in recent years, but maybe this is the season they shine and even grab a Champions League spot. But first, they need to prove themselves against Real.

[MAAManda]

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.

Deportivo are the favorites in this match based on the odds in the market, but even though they're the favorites, I’m not so sure they will win against Levante. Do you know why? it’s because the two teams previously met in LaLiga 2 & Levante emerged as the winner in both of those matches. That’s in the past, we never really know how things will turn out in today’s match, it could well be Deportivo that emerges as the winner.

So, this match is a bit risky for betting, personally, I’m just going to skip it.

Real Madrid team is able to survive in this competition.

Real Madrid team is in the current situation in which they do not look like favorites to win the title, they do not have the same performance in La Liga as they did in the Champions League. Although Real Madrid team is strong, their style of play is not good at all. They are not playing aggressively at the beginning, so they are under pressure. As we can see in the case of Barcelona team, if we compare it with it, Real Madrid is still very weak.
If Real Madrid team has to improve their position, then they must strengthen their weak positions and strengthen their defense. Real Madrid team is in very good form in the attack line, but their defense is a bit weak, in that case, the weak points of the team will have to be filled. When the El Clasico match is held, we can guess a lot based on the performance of the two teams, their strength is greater.  If we still see Barcelona as having a higher chance of winning the title than Real Madrid, then Real Madrid could be a tough contender against Barcelona in the future if they improve their performance.

Yes I also would not want to place any blind bet on Madrid. Same time, betting against them simply because of their inconsistent performance wouldn’t be right move either. I have to see how well odds reflect their actual probability of winning.


Another important thing is Vinícius’s four match suspension. He will be unavailable for match against Sevilla, Barcelona, Racing Santander and Valencia. In this context, Madrid’s attacking coordination and Mourinho’s in game adjustment will make all difference. But I wouldn’t jump to  simplistic conclusion that Madrid will necessarily become weaker in Vinícius’s absence. Instead, it remain to be seen how Mbappé, Arda Guler and the other attacking player coordinate and combine with one another while he is sidelined.

Barcelona doesn't need the earth shattering news that they're good, they know they're favorite to win literally every European trophy this season and that's exactly what Hansi Flick is working on. The project at camp Nou is going fine and they wouldn't need any distraction this season. Barcelona are special with superb players, they're first on La Liga table with unbeaten run. 

Real Betis is their next oppositions but I'm not bothered because Barcelona will always find their way to win. The club's pattern is not just another winning but their style of play is interesting to watch, I've never seen such brilliance on the pitch.

Barcelona is going to face their first strong opponent of the season, they have not face any big clubs this season, which make things easier for them, but they will face Real Betis that beat Real Madrid and also currently having a good performance, the game is going to be tough because Betis is playing at home and they are very dangerous to play against in their home. Barcelona can win yhe game because of their quality and experience players, they have a good squad and they can beat Betis.

Real Madrid on the other hand is playing against Sevilla, don’t be surprise if Real Madrid find it difficult to win the match easily because they have been playing very poor this season and i will blame the coach for that, he don’t want to bench players who are not performing well, he keep playing double pivot that is the worse midfield in the world currently, i have never see a Real Madrid midfield that is worse than this current midfield, Tchoumeni is one of the problem because since he came back and Mourinho start playing him the club started losing matches, if Mourinho want to succeed in Real Madrid he need to bench to unprofessional players that don’t want to do what the coach want, including Mbape because he doesn’t press, if Real Madrid did not sell some players and sign another players the club need, they will remain trophiless every season.

Vinicius Jr is now seen as a player that chase clout on the pitch, always doing drama.

Vinicius’s attitude and conduct are fair game for criticism. But it would be incorrect to judge him as important or unimportant player based on drama surrounding him. His individual performance and his contribution to team should be evaluated separately.

His red card and four match suspension are certainly significant for Real Madrid. Nevertheless, the reason for suspension, disciplinary decision and allegations against him should be viewed as distinct matter. you cannot draw conclusion based merely on opinion of rival fans or speculation regarding referee bias.

His explosive pace and ability to run into space can compel opposing team to reorganize their defense. If he is not on pitch then another winger would not be able to fulfill that same role. Also his reputation isn’t enough to secure starting XI spot every time. Mourinho should make his decision based on performance, tactical balance and specific opponent.

[Adbitco]

Seriously, with all honesty in my humble opinion, if it was in La Liga, Real Madrid wouldn't have made that complete comeback. La Liga referee would have looked for an excuse to cancel one goal or just blow for an unnecessary foul just to make sure it doesn't go well with Real Madrid. With the recent happenings in the league, I won't be be wrong to think this way about the league refereeing, no wonder no Referee from La Liga made it to any of the European competitions within the week because of their inability to execute their jobs properly.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

To be objective, I say what I say. Many years ago, when Marcelo played for Real Madrid, I don't remember who pulled his hair. Did they give that player a red card? No. Furthermore, as I've already said, the Negreira case is still very much alive, and it's affecting current refereeing. The entire refereeing organization feels attacked and stung because Real Madrid revived this corruption case, and why not? Perhaps it's a very personal speculation, but the referees might be getting their revenge and taking it as retaliation, sending a subliminal message to all clubs: "Don't mess with us."

Besides, a yellow card would have been fine; you can't be that extreme. But a red card with a four-match suspension, wow. And the way they broke the news to the club, right before they were about to play in the Champions League, it felt like a deliberate attempt to deliver a moral blow.

This isn't a complaint, nor do Madrid fans cry about everything, but corruption affects everyone when salt is rubbed into the wound, and nobody likes it.

When the full investigation into Negreira, which UEFA brought up, is released and the corresponding sanctions are handed down, I think it will be the biggest scandal in football, even surpassing the FIFA corruption scandal of its time. That's how serious this is.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, have what might be an easier game against a slightly surprising Sevilla side. They have been dwelling in mediocrity in recent years, but maybe this is the season they shine and even grab a Champions League spot. But first, they need to prove themselves against Real.

It will be a tough test against Barcelona. Betis has been a great team. Betis is in third place with 19 points in the points table. Last month they beat Real Madrid 1-0. In the last match they played greatly against Osasuna and won by 5-2 goals. With such a great form of the team recently, I think it is time for a tough test for Barcelona.

Real Madrid will play Sevilla in their next match. This match should be easy for Real Madrid. Sevilla drew with Levante in their last match, but they should have won that match. This draw seems to have lowered their performance a bit. Mourinho will have to take every opponent very seriously. Sevilla are a relatively weak team but Real Madrid will have to play full strength as they are and then they will win.

[kennycryptoitalia]

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

Real Madrid is clearly stronger than Roma, no one doubts it, but in that match Roma demonstrated that they are first in the standings and let everyone see why they are so high in the Serie A table, they are a team that plays very well and knows what they are doing, if there had been another team that wasn't Real Madrid they would have won.

After all slippages are possible by referee of any league, we cant only say that laliga’s referees are not capable or have some kind of bias, if this is the case then the league would have taken action. So if nothing has been proved we cant blame a team’s bad performance on the referees because thats the oldest type of crying, if a person’s favorite team couldn’t win they blame it on the referees which is just stupid.

I won't call the game between Madrid and Roma a strength combat adventure but I rather see it as a game of experience and tactics. If we follow the second half closely the last two goals came in after Madrid spotted Roma's weak point. The discovered Roma were not good in defending corner goals and they used that to their advantage and secured their lead despite lagging behind the early minutes of the game. Barcelona will be big threat to Madrid because Barcelona has a more balanced team than Roma. Mourinho has a bigger home work to do.

[HyperCodexV]

I mean, you can't play with the psychological well-being of the player and the team; it's not right, it's too much of a coincidence.

The timing of Vini's ban was really abnormal even Mourinho was voiced out aggressively, He said they just want to kill a player 2 hours before the match. He will surely miss the El Clásico. I don't know what he was even thinking to pull the guy's hair like that, sometimes vini will just do things like a child and when the repercussions start to take effect, he acts as if it is a race thing. But announcing it before the kickoff in Rome was too wrong.

[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.

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.

Judging by how Dep. A Coruna have been responding to their recent games especially when they are lacking behind I don't imagine them ending this game in a draw because they are not the kind of team that will always relax when they're losing and leading at the same time, it is either they are 1 man down or something outside football is happening to them before you see them dropping off their form. It will be a very fast game for the visitors to handle, it will be more of them chasing Dep. A Coruna from end to end defending as if is a one sided football. To be sincere with you, I don't want any shocking outcome to happen in this game, favorite of a game can still lose so tonight should be different for the sake of my man Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he has been one of the reasons they are doing well since being promoted.
