La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Iranus]

Time will tell if they will truly get "blown off"  this season , they might in upcoming crucial games if nothings done to fix the defense. All hopes lies on the next transfer window hopefully they don't mess up the Champions league once again since they've learnt their lessons early.

Although Barcelona's defense is somewhat weak, they have plenty of talented defender in their squad. Do they really need to buy new defenders?? They already have skillful defenders in squad like Balde, Cubarsi, Garcia, Cancelo, Espart and Kounde.

Barcelona's current problem is probably tactical weakness. From beginning of the season, we can see that team has been playing with  completely attacking strategy. They are very aggressive and are also able to score lot. It is probably because of this kind of strategy that a void has been created in defense. Flick should create stable strategy. Relying solely on strong attack will not yield good result against big teams and strong defense.

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.

You know, I have a lot of doubts about Vini as well. This is something that really leaves me undecided, because right now Diomande is the player who has stood out the most at the club. He has done so much more, and in the Clásico he shone brightly providing runs, dribbles, assists, and goals. So I'd say Vini now faces fierce competition.

It's no longer just Mbappé he has to compete with; it's Diomande. I think Mourinho will rotate both of them, giving Vini some minutes and then Diomande, or vice versa, but I believe both are necessary. If there were a way to integrate them both into the lineup, it would be great.


The Madrid match has already started; Barcelona won yesterday, congratulations to them... The league has become heated, exciting, and a great watch.

Barcelona need new defenders, and that is right because some of their weaknesses have been exposed in some matches. If a team has been using the same players for a long time, the opposing team's managers may be able to analyze the defensive tactics and style of play of those players and find their weaknesses. This may be the case with Barcelona as they have great defenders. Talented players like Eric García, Pau Cubarsí, Cancelo, Andreas and Gerard Martín have handled Barcelona defense.

Hansi Flick attacking strategy is absolutely right because if the opponent cannot be put under pressure, they will counterattack and it will not be possible to maintain a favorable position for the team. Flick's strategy is to create an attacking pattern using players in the middle and the front and he has succeeded in this strategy time and time again.

Santander 0 Vs Real Madrid 1
Mbappe make it 1 - 0 from the penalty area after a foul committed against him in the 18 yard box, although to me that's a soft hand contact from the defender to Mbappe. Starting off well into match as the goal came around the 11th minute, more time to score more to get all 3 points to remain 3rd on the log after both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona won there own matches.
Edit - Bellingham makes it 2 - 0 for Real Madrid

[lodocus]

Real Madrid scored very quickly. Mbappe put his team ahead on a penalty kick. It doesn’t look like this will be a tough match for Real Madrid. Racing Santander didn’t put up much resistance, after the goal they had no resistance left. Bellingham just scored the second goal. We can say the match is over now, Santander has no chance of a comeback. They’ll just try to prevent the lead from getting any bigger.

[New Judgement]

Sevilla threw away their lead in the second half to lose 3:1 to Getafe. It was an entertaining match between the two side. Getafe scored 3 quick succession goals, as Sevilla defense collapsed early in the second half. Sevilla picked up a red card, but before the read card came, they were already behind.

Real Madrid are just having another training session in this match. They are already 2 goals ahead under 30 minutes. If Racing can score a goal in this match, they should count themselves lucky.

[Nheer]

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

Were Madrid better than Barcelona? Do you really believe that? I know Madrid won that gam, but do you really believe they were the better team in that game? And don't come here with the "the team who wins is the better team" because you know the context, I mean.

Against PSG, I don't think Barcelona were having an off day. PSG were obviously better, even though Barcelona didn't lose easily, but against Madrid, they just made two silly mistakes and could not convert their own chances. I've seen too many of these opinions, and I wonder how you people watch football. This is the same Barcelona team that has beaten Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but because they lost, it means they were not good at all? Do you guys expect them to win every big team they face and never lose?

Are you sure you watched the match at all? Real Madrid won the the game and was better in that game. Barcelona was barely able to create some chances. I think that has been their worse game so far this season, we all thought they were going destroy Real Madrid at Camp Nou but Real Madrid surprised us and gave a very solid performance. Real Madrid demonstrated something different when no one believed them.

I think you are mistaking having a good day and having an unlucky day. Against PSG Barcelona played well compared to how they played against Madrid but they were just unlucky and later lost concentration. They created some decent chances in the game compared to against Madrid.

The Basque derby is set to be a thrilling match. Athletic Bilbao, led by Edin Terzic, didn’t get off to a great start this season. However, they ended their winless streak by defeating Getafe last week. A win in the derby would get things back on track for them.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, is in excellent form right now. They've performed well in their recent matches and haven't had any trouble scoring goals. However, this is a derby, and the visiting team usually struggles in such matches. Given the derby atmosphere, we’ll see a match where both teams fight hard and the play gets physical at times. I think a draw could be the outcome of this match.

Getafe scored 3 quick succession goals, as Sevilla defense collapsed early in the second half. Sevilla picked up a red card, but before the read card came, they were already behind.

Real Madrid are just having another training session in this match. They are already 2 goals ahead under 30 minutes. If Racing can score a goal in this match, they should count themselves lucky.

With the way Sevilla was playing in the first half, I was expecting them to be the team that would end up winning this match, or maybe they would get a draw, because they were playing a little better than Getafe and had more ball possession than them. But all I have to say is that, in this kind of match, each team always has a good chance of winning. I think Getafe also deserved to win this match, and that is what happened because, even from their head-to-head records, whether playing at home or away, both teams have good records of winning.

As for Real Madrid, I expected them to have an easy match today because their opponents are not strong. With the kind of motivation they have gained from beating Barcelona in their last match, any team Real Madrid meet recently will likely be beaten, and they may even score many goals. Now, they have scored three goals, and it is possible they could reach five goals. That is how I want them to be winning their matches, especially when they have the opportunity to play against smaller teams, so that, at the end of the season, Barcelona will not end up using goal difference to take the league title away from them.

I think that win against Barcelona have really boosted Real Madrid confidence, when you look at how they play today it far different from how they have been playing before the Barcelona game. I know it against racing but we have seen them struggle to beat teams like this. After Barcelona beat Alaves yesterday I knew Real Madrid will respond with a big win today.

Another thing that have really been helping Real Madrid is Diomande been available to fill in for Vini, and I really think he is doing just fantastically well. I would say this season I prefer him to Vini currently, he help out the defense a lot and that something we don’t see in Vini game.

Their centre-backs are still very lacking for me because even though there is Martin as a substitute for the injured Christensen but Martin is still lacking in experience so Cubarsi like working alone even in yesterday's game they made De Jong as a central defender which shows that the situation in their defense is still very vulnerable at the moment due to injury.

If the players come back fit then it won't be a problem for Barcelona but the anticipation when their defender is injured in almost the same time as now of course they will have to think of alternatives.
Currently their central defender only 3 people who often become subscriptions and even then Gerard Martin still does not have enough flying hours if in the end Christensen/Pau Cubarsi absent then the situation is a little weak Barcelona.
A busy schedule for them should make Flick think harder with this condition.

Jose Mourinho has been looking for a way to get a perfect tactical team all this while, and is looking like the few tough games he had played in recent times had enabled him to come up with a solid team so far. One thing that victory does to you is that, it emboldens the morale of your players, so you begin to see that Real Madrid might slightly be progressive in their matches days ahead because it is tilting towards a perfect team gradually.

I guess their game against Barcelona the last time was a morale booster for them and a sign they can win the title this season if they remain consistent with their performance, hence the improvement we've seen lately. Mbappe's penalty was too early for the Santander guys and I saw such early goals as more opportunities for the Madrid players and it was well utilized with 3 goals scored already in the first half. Diomande is anther player I've been looking forward to lately with the kind of efforts he has been putting in his game to always be there and assist when necessary, today's match is already a victory for the Madrid club. Though Madrid still at the 3rd place, but with all indications they are soon to take over the second position of the table.

Mbappe is a really good player, he defeated Barcelona 2-1 and scored 2 goals in that match. In this World Cup, he won the Golden Boot as the top scorer and won the Bronze Ball. Those who played well in football are slowly retiring. Mbappe will be the football king of the coming days. In today's match, Barcelona is playing well against a weak team and won the match by 6-1 goals. Again, Real Madrid will also win this match, leading by 3-0 goals. Barcelona 30 points Real Madrid will have 30 points. Barcelona and Real Madrid will have a lot of competition this season.

Racing Santander is a fairly weak team. It is normal for Real Madrid to score 3 goals against them. At the moment, Real Madrid is ahead by 3 goals. Barcelona is seen to score more goals against such a weak team. Especially in the last match, Barcelona scored 6 goals. This shows that Barcelona's attacking strategy is quite good compared to Real Madrid. But if we think about defending, then Real Madrid will be much ahead in that case. However, I think that Real Madrid will be ahead of Barcelona in the remaining matches . I can see in the last few matches, Real Madrid's performance is quite strong. Especially Mbappe's good performance is being observed in every match. Excitement is being observed in all the matches of La Liga this season. The upcoming matches will be more enjoyable.

With the way they are playing currently I’m not sure there is any starting spot left for vini, they team have been playing well in his absence and the current front three looks solid and I think Mourinho has squad now. It’ll be hard for vini to come back and get a starting spot, I don’t see him benching diomande, they has been very good and he’s exactly what Madrid has been missing in their attack, he presses a lot almost covering for the ones mbappe is not doing. Honestly I like the current status quo, I’m starting to look forward to Madrid matches.

Real Madrid's opponents were weaker than Barcelona's opponents, you can clearly understand that by looking at the position of the points table. So, enjoy their performance without thinking about who fought against which team.

You should look at the points table again, Real Madrid and Barcelona's points are not equal, there is still a difference of 3 points.

It is foolish to say now whether Kylian Mbappe will be the king of football in the new generation or not. He is a good player and he has a good future. But, to be a king, scoring goals is not enough, some other qualities are needed that Mbappe does not have. To be a king, team achievements, team performance and leadership are needed.

I was seriously pained and disappointed by the loss of both the PSG and Madrid match, had it been those matches were won, it would have been a prove of our form if we had beaten atleast Madrid, but as it stands now am about to think that there is a little truth about what our rivals are always saying about us being in form with small clubs, and not able to play in big games.

Barca's players have ability to score heavily. Anyway, whenever the team faces any giant club, they stumble. They have lost two consecutive high voltage match.

Just as Barcelona played aggressively against Alaves, they played exact same way in their previous match against PSG and Madrid. But because opponents were strong and capable of launching rapid counter-attacks, Flick's tactics failed. It is natural that any strategy which works against weak teams will not work against big ones Flick should now follow the tactic of Arsenal leader Mikel Arteta. I have seen that Arsenal's main target against big teams is to keep their defense strong and put pressure on opponent.

King of football huh, maybe he would be when start going greys. Man can't even win Ballon d'Or or any recognized trophy. The real kings of football already had their ballon d'Or when they were much younger than him. His role model who is C Ronaldo got his first Balon d'Or at his early 20s, same as the GOAT Messi. So you see, Mbappe still has a very long way to go before he earn that that King of Football title. Right now, he should focus on assisting Real Madrid win the Laliga, Champion League and other competition. Until he does that I still wouldn't rate him that high, so he could keep scoring as many goal as he can, just don't care.

Today was a piece of cake win for Real Madrid, Racing wasn't much of a threat and that early penalty just disorganized the whole club without them being able to get their selfs back. Soon we will see Vinicius back from his suspension playing right in his old ways. Jose Mourinho dosen't need to be told twice what to do about Vinicius. Dude should be sold for good or just loaned out. Yandio is a better player than him in that position, that his goal was a rocket 🚀

No doubt, Mbappe is a good player. He has potential to become one of the biggest names in the coming years but I don't understand why you're attributing their (Real Madrid) victory against Barcelona to only Mbappe knowing that he wasn't the only player on the pitch. They won that match because of their collective efforts even though Mbappe was the one that scored the goals. He won't score those goals if other players were not supportive. You can give credit to Mbappe for his own personal effort but you can not say he defeated Barcelona.
