La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Jewan420]

Barcelona is probably the best attacking team in the world right now but Flick's offside tactic is costing them big time. imo what Flick is doing with this squad is honestly ridiculous. last year, the big teams in Europe completely blew Barcelona away.

Are you kidding? Barcelona is not the attacking team in the world. If you are looking for the best attacking team in the world then give it to PSG because no team comes close in attacking force. I don't think I understand what you meant by Flick's offside tactics but if you are trying to say that Barcelona players are fond of being offside then you should blame the players and not Flick. Barcelona coach is still managing the team perfectly, they are only playing within their capacity, they can't go beyond that.

Maybe he meant Flick's high defensive line.
It is natural to debate whether Barcelona is the best attacking team in the world at the moment. Flick is trying his best to make themselves the best attacking team, but he is not yet able to do so. His plan still has flaws and there is a lack of strikers. There is no doubt or debate that PSG is the best attacking team in the world at the moment. I can call Barcelona the best chance creator and chance destroyer in the world.

I have no problem with Flick's strategy, if he can succeed in his strategy then they can become the best attacking team in the world. For this, they need to increase the number of substitutes in defense and increase the number of goals from the chances they create. Barcelona players need to improve their shooting skills, like PSG players.

A team that don't know how to perform against big clubs can't be regarded as best attacking tram in world,  what would you call Psg and Real Madrid attacks? Barcelona attack only perform against average team, no doubt they are good but they must perform against big team to be honor with best attacking team in the world,  as for now Psg is the only team we can according that respect, they have proven to be best in tbe world by beating the best team around Europe.

Any offiside tactics Flick is using and is not working for the team should be reconsider else his team will keep suffering from it, most times coaches stubbornly want to try a new tactics even when is working for the moment till they perfect it on the long run, that's what Flick is trying with offside tactic, he might perfect it or change it later, Barcelona are one team to beat in Europe,  they're solid and interesting to watch.

About PSG, all the players, including the defenders, are all goal-scoring machines. In their last game, Hakimi, a wing-back, scored a hat trick, which is very difficult for any defender in another club to do. I don't doubt that if you think PSG have the best attack, they have the record and can prove that they merit it, Barcelona is another goal-scoring team with a more dangerous attack, any other team fears them apart from PSG.

I totally agree that PSG is the best attacking team in the world. PSG defenders can actually start as a no 9 and do better than most teams in Europe. I think the manager's preference and style of play have improved the defenders. As everyone loves scoring, both the midfielders and the defenders have now realized they can score too. Barcelona has great players, superb attack, but without the attackers, Barcelona always find it hard to score. I'd rather say PSG and Bayern Munich are the best attacking teams in the world.

Barca, as usual, had all the ball in their possession in Paris and yet they got punished accordingly. They were big on completing hundreds of passes, kept strict possession which is like a birthright for them and they look very elite in the normal one two touches But PSG just sit and observed them do their traditional tiki taka and pounced on them when they got the opportunity. Barca attack is only dangerous in La Liga not outside it.

last year, the big teams in Europe completely blew Barcelona away.

You people just say anything these days. What big teams in Europe did Barcelona play last season that blew them away? They won one and lost one against Madrid. Won one and lost one against Dortmund. Won one and lost one against Atletico but got knocked out on goal difference, and it was due to a red card. So what big teams in Europe blew them away? Why is there so much recency bias in football these days? Why are teams and players only rated by their last games? Since Barcelona lost to PSG and Madrid, you guys have been talking like they are an average team. For the last two seasons, Barcelona has been among the top three clubs. They win trophies and they play very beautiful football. It's only the Champions League they have been unable to win.

I dont know who is saying these things, barca is in very good form and there isnt an event where they have been completely blown off in recent times, Barcelona has been in top form and i think the last few years they have improved alot from what dead end they faced after messi farewell, so it is not entirely correct to say they were blown off as currently they are at the top of the league and in my opinion they are one of the favourites for the Champions league

[PremiumcryptoHub]

Barcelona have faced very experienced teams in the last two matches which may have led to the fact that we all saw the fact that they tried to win those matches but were unable to win but today in La Liga they are able to play very comfortably against weaker teams. The team's first half performance against Alves today is bound to surprise everyone as Brazilian Rafina has already scored two goals. Then this Brazilian player could not score any goal in the UEFA Champions League match against PSG but his team conceded four goals in that Champions League match.

Alaves are ninth in the La Liga points table this season And they are performing like an immature team in today's game, so my personal belief is Barcelona to score more goals after the break. A win in this match might set a record for the team as they remain unbeaten in the 2026/27 Spanish league with their only El Clasico draw against Real Madrid.

[Ahli38]

Barcelona has already scored 4 goals in the first half of their match against Alavés in this Round 11 clash. It took them just one half to rack up that impressive tally. Alavés was completely overwhelmed by Barcelona with that goal margin, where I noticed that Barcelona seemed to penetrate Alavés’ defense with such ease that numerous golden opportunities were created in this match. A victory for Barcelona is all but certain in this ongoing match. And I’m confident they’ll score even more goals in the second half or even at least three more. I believe the over 6.5 total goals bet has a very good chance of winning in the second half given the number of goals scored in the first half. And I personally hope Alavés can at least score one goal in response to make the outcome of that bet even clearer.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Real Madrid is expected to show a big surprise this season. They are gradually improving their position. I am not saying that Barcelona is not a strong team. We have seen how Barcelona performs against big teams. Every football lover was looking forward to these two matches of Barcelona and everyone thought that if Barcelona can perform well or win in these two matches then we will definitely see something good from them. But Barcelona is not able to handle the pressure of big matches and the weakness of Barcelona's attacking part is clearly visible. However, many do not consider this performance of Barcelona as weak, rather many think that Barcelona has a lack of experienced players.

1 Barcelona defeat still doesnt guarantee anything and I say that as a fan of Madrid.
Madrid managed to get 3 points in el clasico but we also do not need to be naive that throughout the 90 minutes of the match the ball was held by Barcelona so by looking at this although 3 points for Madrid I can also see that Barcelona are still strong enough if they can patch the leak of their defensive line which sometimes has difficulty when holding fast counterattacks.

I know that the hope now is that Madrid's performance is still growing but on the one hand we also cannot close our eyes that Barcelona is still quite strong and 1 El Clasico defeat still does not threaten anything for Barcelona at this time because their points GAP is still a little further away.
Now 3 points Barcelona are still ahead and this must be a concern so that Madrid can continue to rise and improve its performance well.

The most important thing in football is getting a win, ball performance doesn't give any point rather winning does, the El clasico is the most interesting game in the laliga and it always comes with challenges and fight.
I was happy that Real madrid won the game although i wasn't expecting it at camp nou, but despite that Real madrid won i still have more confidence on Barcelona and they may likely win the laliga again, apart from Real madrid winning Barcelona in the laliga i believe it will be difficult for them to lose to any other team in the league.

That's right and I agree with what you say because the most important victory no matter how the performance on the field that certainly 3 points will still be 3 points but on the other hand we also can not consider as if the victory of el clasico and 1 defeat Barcelona in domestic competition makes Madrid look better.

Currently Madrid are still many gaps and Mou still need to make more adjustments here because we are still 3 points behind Barcelona and 1 point from Atletico so the position of Madrid is still not comfortable.
Actually I am quite comfortable with seeing Madrid play without Vini in the squad but Vini's sanction is almost over and if my prediction is correct it is likely that he will return to play (tbh I don't like this for now). Yan Diomande is in a very comfortable condition with his position on the left side and when Vini comes back it allows his position to change or become a backup and this could disrupt the rhythm that is good now.

Barca attack is only dangerous in La Liga not outside it.

Is not just about possession because if it was about possession they would have won the game and their other strategy that would have helped them win the game but if at that Barcelona was just not a match for psg and Barcelona fans had imaginations in there head about how they are going to win psg but funny enough how they lost that game, and there is no shame in you losing a game people are just over worked up and they already know what psg is capable of doing do why are they looking down on Barcelona like they don't know what they are doing but that was not what happened.

When you opponent understands your game then what do you do than for you try you best because after the game then they meet against real madrid and it was also a total loss for them and in that game real Madrid's really went wide and there defense was obviously stopping Barcelona from scoring but let's hoped they have learnt from their mistakes.

Maybe he's a glory hunter. There are many fans of certain clubs here who support a team when it's performing well, then abandon it when its performance starts to decline. Some even go as far as saying that the club is terrible.
But there are statistics showing that Barcelona's results last season were still pretty decent. Just look at these results

Newcastle vs Barcelona 1-2  
Barcelona vs PSG 1-2  
Barcelona vs Olympiacos 6-1  
Club Brugge vs Barcelona 3-3  
Chelsea vs Barcelona 3-0  
Barcelona vs Frankfurt 2-1  
Slavia Praha vs Barcelona 2-4  
Barcelona vs Copenhagen 4-1

They scored 22 goals and conceded 14. Not bad

And I personally hope Alavés can at least score one goal in response to make the outcome of that bet even clearer.

They trash Alaves 4-0 in the first half but couldn't hold their own when faced with opponents of their same caliber, watching the match, I get more angry because they couldn't play like this in their previous two matches that showed that they weren't have an off day, they two teams where just better than them. Alaves where holding their own in the first 8 minutes of the game but everything came crashing when Pedri slice through their defense creating a chance for Raphinha goals

I don't even know why am watching this match, it feels like they are playing amateurs

[Mallampue]

Barcelona went berserk after their 2-game losing streak and Alaves became the barnyard of goals for them this time.
The first half is over and Barcelona have already scored 4 goals by this time. Raphinha regained his momentum with a brace that was done as well as widening the gap again 2 goals with Mbappe for the temporary top score.
In addition, Barcelona also does not seem to want the gap in the standings followed by Atletico and Madrid, which after last week's defeat the gap narrowed slightly.

It's over although I'm sure that Barcelona will not relax their attack in the second half but Alaves are already hopeless even if they defend.
Barcelona's dominance was insane in this game and they are back like a goal-hungry club for now.

[HustleZ]

Well after these kind of performances i tie big hopes with barca and they really know how to break people’s hopes. Ia gree that they have been phenomenal but i expected them to win against PSG to make a statement that they are here for the UCL but hem losing 4-2 shows that we shouldn’t be too overconfident. Still, cheers to these 4 goals and hope they end the game in even better position

What a start, can’t say it wasn’t expected though. After Barcelona’s loss to Real Madrid in the El-Classico which was rather deciding, it was expected that the next club they would have to play against would come under all the pressure they had to endure in the El-Classico in a bid to reassure the fans and also prevent Real Madrid from catching up on the point gap which was beginning to build. Alaves happens to be unlucky in this game week. I’m just the first half, they’ve already conceded 4. I wonder where this would end!

I also had same feelings that after Barcelona lost the El Clasico that they will unleash their anger on their next opponent and here is Alaves suffering for a crime they didn't commit as Barcelona has scored them 5:0 and the match still has about 20 minutes before full time which means that they still have the possibility of scoring more goals. From the first half of this match you will know that Barcelona is playing Alaves with anger which is why they scored them 4 at halftime. Despite that Real Madrid has closed he gap between them and Barcelona to just 3 points, I don't see any chances of Real Madrid winning the title because even if they manage to tie in points with Barcelona, goals difference is what will disappoint them since Barcelona keeps scoring huge numbers of goals in most of their matches.

I think it's clear now that Barcelona top performance is always for the smaller teams that's why I am not surprised that they are winning this game like this. It seems when they play against smaller teams they suddenly starts playing like prime Barcelona but when they face top teams they will suddenly start struggling. They still need a few improvement and some experience to balance their team up to be able to perform well against bigger teams and challenge them better.

After what happened to Barcelona recently I don't rate them like before anymore, I feel they are only good when they play against small teams. I'll give them benefits of doubt and see how they perform in upcoming big games as the season progress.

[JeromeTash]

Barcelona have decided to make a big statement after last week's El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid by hitting the Deportivo Alaves six goals to one so far. The match has a few minutes left to end. Lamine Yamal has been quite impressive alongside Raphinha. Both of them scored two goals each. Let's see what Real Madrid will do tomorrow against Racing Club, but I think they will win the match. The odds of Real Madrid winning are pretty low for my liking

This match has undoubtedly ended with Barcelona securing full points. And the large number of goals scored has allowed them to build up a larger goal differential. Their position in the standings has also become even more solid thanks to their truly outstanding performance. As for Alavés they will clearly lose points and even end up with a negative goal differential as they have conceded more goals than they’ve scored since the start of the season. The current score is Barcelona 6–1 Alavés, where in just a few minutes the referee will blow the whistle to signal the end of the match. But I’m not sure there will be another goal before the end of this match.
