La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Pesona1]

I was scrolling through my livescore app when I saw that all Spanish cup matches fixtures were all postponed and I was wondering why the Spanish FA decided to postpone all 24 matches due to be played today. It was later I saw the news on BBC channel what prompted such postponement. 2 trains collided near Madrid and about 60+ persons died from it. I was wondering if trains don't have different tracks then again, it's an accident, no one plans for it. After the train collision, it detailed in Toledo close to the countries capital. In solidarity of the victims, all the Cop Del Rey matches dued to be played today was postponed.

All Spanish Cup or Copa del Rey matches have postponed due the train accident and do not know more in the future for La Liga games week 11 will get postponed or not, I am so sorry to heard about train accident in Spanish and for awhile several Copa Del Rey for the first round match have been postponed until unknow time. The La Liga federation still not announce yet about the La Liga match in this week and the postponed match of Copa Del Rey will play but its humanity respect from this an accident.

Based on the La Liga schedule for games week 11, Real Madrid will face Racing Santander at home and the top standings team Barcelona will face Alaves at Camp Nou both Barcelona and Real Madrid have three remaining points and its great chance for Madrid back to the top standings if can get three points for this week.

Spain is in a state of mourning so I feel it is worth doing but looking at the schedule even though there are many matches postponed but it looks like for some matches it will still be done today even though it is still in a mourning atmosphere and the club that is playing may not everyone know the club.

Yesterday also the Villarreal match and some other clubs such as Zaragoza were still carried out because maybe some considerations but for a match that was still not done then they postponed it until a time that was still not determined.

Real Madrid arguably possesses the strongest midfield in the world. I am very impressed by their performance and their ability to dominate the game from the middle of the pitch. However, relying solely on Mbappé in the forward position can sometimes leave them vulnerable while Mbappé is a versatile player capable of operating in various roles and adapting to the flow of the match, the team’s defensive line is a weak point, leading to occasional errors that result in them conceding goals.

For the quality of the players I agree that Madrid's midfielders are one of the luxury ones at the moment but for the strongest it's too early to say.
Madrid's midfield is still not solid in terms of teamwork and there are some things that need to be improved, especially for chemistry. Although the quality of their players is luxurious but when the chemistry is constrained it remains a difficult thing and it is seen in some matches even they always lose in midfield because the teamwork is still not well connected.

I think I disagree with the point about team chemistry, because these players have been playing together for several seasons already. I don't know what else needs to happen for their chemistry to improve further. I might agree that their midfield isn't as strong as it was at its best, but in my opinion, Real Madrid are looking very good right now. Personally, I have more concerns about Barcelona's defense than I do about Real Madrid's defense or even their midfield.

I think Madrid is doing well in midfield, but I don’t understand why Mourinho is using Valverde in right-back position, Valverde should be playing in the midfield position because he makes that Real Madrid midfield look good, someone like Arda Guler is someone I don’t really trust with his performance, however I keep wondering why Barcelona sent Aruojo to Liverpool on loan, his been spectacularly good with his performance in the Liverpool defense he makes them look stronger, and after sending him on loan they didn’t sigh a replacement, I agree with your judgement that Barcelona defense is very poor right now, considering the performance against Real Madrid at the El Clasico, I’m expecting Barcelona to be in the market for a defender in January Transfer Window.

What real madrid is lacking right now is a quality central midfielder, a player that offers what Toni kroos gives the team when he was still at the club, because in bigger games they struggle to control the game and play beautifully due to the fact that they lack someone in the middle that dictate the rhythm and pace of the game, but they are not bad offensive and defensively as you have rightfully said, it is just in their midfield that they are lacking real quality central midfielder.

Then as for Barcelona, it is obvious for all to see that the way they plays is the reason they are too open defensively, because they do more attacking and forget their backline on most occasions, that is why they always concede goals against any team they are up against.

This is tragic, I also saw the news later after I was wondering why all of the matches will be postponed without any good reason. I had thought  it’s bad weather condition initially. but then losing 60+ life is more than enough reason to make that decision. just like I’ve seen It here humanity first before sportsmanship. I don’t know what will happened to the weekend laliga fixtures, but I think it’s will be just fine if the clubs that are not in Madrid  can play their own matches this weekend while those in the city of Madrid can continue morning. It’s just my personal opinion.

One thing is that when new players appeared definitely the chemistry have to work and with what I've seen in their match the combination is fantastic because all the players have tried their best and they are very coordinated. I will not say anything now until I see how Real Madrid progress in their coming matches, but in this game I am convinced that they are playing as a teamwork.

Real Madrid have to do something with their defense line which they have been improved, but I want them to put more emphasis on that but all the positions are perfectly okay. I fear for vinicius junior because he is getting replaced gradually, and everyone seem to like is replacement because the guy is so calm and cold, one thing he will have over Vinicius is the anger issues. I don't think vinicius will be able to be getting enough time now.

[Different patterns]

Barcelona made us believe they were the best team since the beginning of the season. Surprisingly, they were the best team because they have been up against small teams like Elche, Vallecano, and Getafe in the league. When it matters the most, many times Barcelona is put in their place. Loss to PSG, loss to Real Madrid, and I'm sure they will lose or draw to Aston Villa. By now, Hansi Flick has realized that his team is not up to the standard to compete against big teams.

Barcelona are still very much favorite to win La Liga this season because with their stellar performance, they've being exceptional in games but when they face elite sides, they crumbled. Barcelona really need to step up if they want us to start seeing them as a competitive side for elite trophies this season. Hansi Flick football is very interesting and entertaining to watched, they're fantastic and the style of football is worth breathtaking. Barcelona just have one more major duty, to deliver in big game.

Barcelona weak position will make the Spanish league more competitive because if Real Madrid were further behind in terms of points, it would be disappointing for the tournament. Barca would almost certainly have won the trophy. Now I expect every match in the tournament to be more exciting, especially since Atlético Madrid has been playing well recently and Real Madrid is starting to get back on track. If they can increase their points by winning matches against weaker opponents in the upcoming matches, it will be challenging for Barca to win the trophy and I think Mourinho can do it.

Almost everyone doubted them from the beginning of the season but right now they have been able to probably understand themselves and are trying to come back on track as a team and that will make the competition and the title race more competitive, and this will even motivate other teams to perform well in the league seeing that Barcelona's winning streak has come to an end this season and If they are able to learn from that defeat in the el Classico and add more creativity, they can still challenge Barcelona when they are facing them. So I think the competition will be unpredictable this season if this drama goes on but when a team begins to win as many as possible, it makes the competition boring even though, we will need to commend the team's resilience and performance but other teams need to rise to the challenge too.

[Uhde]

yes man. Real Madrid's defense, central midfield and especially forward line have now finally fallen into place. imo from this point on, they've become a contending team in every competition.
Bernardo has taken control of central midfield and with the quartet of Diomande, Bellingham Mbappe and Arda... they will press opponents fiercely.

Real Madrid arguably possesses the strongest midfield in the world. I am very impressed by their performance and their ability to dominate the game from the middle of the pitch. However, relying solely on Mbappé in the forward position can sometimes leave them vulnerable while Mbappé is a versatile player capable of operating in various roles and adapting to the flow of the match, the team’s defensive line is a weak point, leading to occasional errors that result in them conceding goals.

and the defense is Valverde, Cucu and Konate... they are taking firm steps toward becoming a dream team. and the bench is practically a whole separate team anyway.
imo if Ancelotti came back, they would embargo every single trophy for 4 years.

[len01]

but I don’t understand why Mourinho is using Valverde in right-back position, Valverde should be playing in the midfield position because he makes that Real Madrid midfield look good,

If you don't know the reason, I'll explain it from my own perspective. Mourinho knows about the conflict that happened between Tchouameni and Valverde. That could also be one of the reasons why Valverde was positioned at right back rather than in midfield.

Another reason is that Mourinho knows Valverde is also capable of playing as a defender and can be relied on to support attacks while strengthening the defense. If you look at PSG, they have Hakimi, and Mourinho might use a similar tactic to Enrique's, where the fullbacks become finishers when the attackers have no way through.

We’re expecting them to build a dream team let’s hope we aren’t proven wrong. This Real Madrid squad has been assembled with the best possible options to achieve success, but the defense remains a problem. They need better players at the back; Konaté and Dumfries haven’t fully settled into the team yet.

What a sad news, mostly the life lost in this accident, and death is irreplaceable, well most accident can be avoided but some times not as we perceived it as human but a lot of questions need to be asked just as raised by @Adbitco, if the course of this mechanical fault it's not ideal that management failed to check before I think it could as result of lossing control train always have it's lane colliding together something must be wrong, the shift on the fixture is good to allow the mind of the people who are mourning to return where they can comfortably watch as well play their bet.

Dumfries covers the Right Back position and Konaté plays in the Centre Back position. Both of them joined Real Madrid this season and they have talent but to play for a big team one player needs to be more active. Real Madrid defence is still not in a satisfactory state but they are gradually improving their capabilities. I think the midfield position needs to be strengthened. Bernardo Silva and Bellingham need to be more active because when the opposition can easily take possession of the midfield they are able to fool the defenders and score goals. Mourinho also needs to focus on increasing the strength of the midfield without giving the opposition that opportunity.

[Ashawowo(OS)]

but I don’t understand why Mourinho is using Valverde in right-back position,

Dumfries is not creative at all, he's just a bull that knows nothing but muscle attackers, right backs need to be creative and support attacks when necessary. Arnold has fallen out of favour with Mourinho, he's now third choice right back, he better finds his way out by January. Valverde has the quality of a defender and the creativity to support midfielders and push attack.

Arda Guler is someone I don’t really trust with his performance, however

You're funny, he is the most dependable Madrid midfielder since this season. When Mourinho wants to turn the match around for better, he brings in Guler. He's very creative and double casts well with Bellingham.

I keep wondering why Barcelona sent Aruojo to Liverpool on loan, his been spectacularly good with his performance in the Liverpool defense he makes them look stronger,

Very simple... He fell out of favour with the manager, got a lower perking order and saw very less game time, so he made the right decision to leave.

It seems like this season won't be easy for Real Madrid either, as they need to show proof that they've improved with their new coach. Currently, Real Madrid is still in third place, three points behind Barcelona. This means Real Madrid can't afford to take it easy this season, as they need to win another prestigious trophy with their new coach. If Real Madrid can improve further after this season, there's a chance Mourinho will continue his reign for the next few seasons.

~snip~

They lost to PSG and also lost to Real Madrid, losing to two big team shows that they are not actually that good.
If you cannot win big teams it means you are not actually good, with the kind of performance Barcelona is having they cannot lift the champions league title. They still need to work on their self because they are not good as you think.

Barcelona is only good when they meet a small team, but one’s they meet a big team, they will lose.
I don’t think Barcelona will be able to lift the La Liga title this season anymore.

Big team lose important matches, infact making few losses isn't enough reason to conclude that Barcelona isn't a good team..Even if you go over to the EPL, the current leading team which is City lost to Aston Villa on saturday... Surely you wouldn't conclude that they are bad because of that loss...Though in Laliga I tend to prefer Real Madrid to Barcelona, but I would be wrong to say that Barcelona aren't good...They are good, fit and even are more than equal to lifting up the leagues trophy since in spite of their losses they still sit on top of the table..I so much respect Hansi Flick management especially how he pushes his players to do better...And such push will definitely make the players performance more better...

Real Madrid have one of the best midfield in the La Liga, a midfield combo of Bellingham, Bernado Silva, Tchouameni, and Arda Guler is almost unmatched though their chemistry is not where it needs to be yet but they are doing just fine at the moment. Compared to Barca, Real Madrid have most experienced players that has played for different leagues, both in the defence, midfield and attack and it would only be a matter of time before they reclaim their long lost La Liga title.

In recent years, even under the previous coach, Real Madrid had never stayed in third place for so long.
A sign that the special one's cure (in his own opinion) is not working at all.
I don't think it's useless, I think it's overpaid for its real value.
In my opinion, Mourinho would be a good choice to coach a team if he cost less.

[Tamaperdana]

Not so long ago. We had so many people here say how Barcelona was going to thrash Real Madrid. They went on to say how finished and disorganized Real Madrid is  
Well, I hope they got some reality check.

The season is not even past 10 games, and boy oh boy, Barcelona was already given the title by some fan boys.

It's true, actually, now might not be the right time to say that Barcelona is the champion. Because it's clear that this is just the beginning of the season, and this season's journey is still long. Besides, we also saw for ourselves that Barcelona's performance in yesterday's match was clearly unsatisfactory. So that's why at this time we don't need to exaggerate that Barcelona is unmatched. Because basically, no matter how great a team is, there are times when its performance can decline. So I think that's what happened to Barcelona in the previous match. But even so, I will continue to support Barcelona. Whether Barcelona wins or not this season, I will try to be their supporter. So if you are a Real Madrid supporter, congratulations on the victory of the team you supported yesterday. But the season is not over, there are still many unexpected events this season, so we'll just have to see what will happen and who will be the champion in the end.

Mourinho has yet to take the team to the trophy-winning stage. The team's defense is still weak and the midfield needs to be stronger. Bellingham was playing well at the start of the tournament but has not been performing very well in recent matches. Bellingham is the only one in midfield who is scoring goals but the other players are not scoring goals. Camavinga has only provided 1 assist in 9 matches while Valverde has not scored a goal in 10 matches and has provided 2 assists. Bernardo Silva and Tchouaméni are also not playing as well as expected. If Mourinho wants to win trophies, he will have to improve at every level of the team.
