La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

The best thing they can do for him is to loan him out or sell him to another club even if it's not Barcelona night. I understand why Simeone played him as a striker against Barca, he was trying to make him get the fans trust but it turned out even worse him.

The missed chances are  normal in a game like that  especially from a guy under  tension of  trying to please his club but due  to the recent issues he had, it made it even more complicated for him, adding more unnecessary stress to his mental health.

I'd say Julian was entirely to blame for not playing with the professional ethics required for an event like this, and Cholo also bears some responsibility. It was obvious he didn't want to score against Barcelona. In fact, I think Julian Alvarez's performance is grounds for a lawsuit. You can't play like that; it's almost like fraud. You can't put on a show like that.

I don't know what measures the club might take, but it makes no sense for them to let him play again. He looked terrible, and honestly, I felt secondhand embarrassment for Julian's performance.

[Curious T]

I don't know about the scoreline, am in between at the moment if that's possible because Rayo Vallecano trashed this same Celta 3-0 so Real Madrid can still do it

Football doesn't work like that. Madrid can win the game, of course. They can even win 5-0, but you can't use the fact that Celta lost to a weaker team to judge that they will definitely lose to a bigger team like Madrid. Before Betis won against Madrid, they lost 5-2 to Levante. So the fact that Celta Vigo lost to Rayo Vallecano doesn't mean they will definitely lose to Real Madrid. However, I still expect Real Madrid to win the game. As I said, even if it won't be easy, it will be a win for Real Madrid. Real Madrid have gotten better, so they will always find a way to win matches, especially against small teams.

You say a lot of rubbish. Have we not seen players miss even worse chances? So because it's a player that was linked to Barcelona, then he did it on purpose. How do you even think like this? Are you a kid? There are players that have missed even worse chances, should all of them face a lawsuit?

Based on the available and most recent results of these two teams, you can’t say that Real Madrid is not the best team to win, even if football may happen, there is still a high possibility of Real Madrid winning this game far more than Celta Vigo will win it. Let’s forget about what football is itself and that anything can happen.

When a smaller team is playing against a bigger team, they already make up their mind that they will lose the game in most occasion, they’ll just be playing in order to mitigate the amount of goals they’ll concede in the game or even playing for a draw in a worst case scenario that they really need a point in that match and can’t risk losing it all. Real Madrid is a big team and even their performance of recent already made them the favourite in this game.

In football, accidents can happen, but that certainly don't happen suddenly. Real Madrid have been very strong recently, while Celta Vigo have been very weak, so their results can be predicted before the match starts. Moreover, by observing their recent performances, you can get a good idea about the team. Real Madrid have beaten Barcelona in the past few days and have also won against Valencia and RB Leipzig, while Celta Vigo's situation is not as expected. Draws against teams like Levante, Real Betis and a loss against Rayo Vallecano have definitely weakened their confidence. Although small teams try to play defense when playing against big, they can't maintain that energy while playing. They can lose at any time due to a little mistake.

If Real Madrid's current performance was random, then I would not have predicted that Real Madrid would win this match, but their current performance is very good, and each player has a good combination at the moment, so we can say that Real Madrid will ensure their victory in the upcoming match.

La Liga is currently in a tough competition, while this competition is ongoing, if any team among the first three teams in the table loses points in any match, then they will fall behind due to losing points in that match and it will be very difficult for each team to reduce that point gap later. Hopefully, Real Madrid has good knowledge of these issues and they will try to leave the field by earning full points in any way.

Vinicius Junior is likely to return to action for Real Madrid in their upcoming match against Celta Vigo. He has missed four matches due to a red card he received during Real Madrid’s game against Villarreal. Real Madrid still looks formidable despite the absence one of their star striker as evidenced by their four consecutive wins. I personally believe that Vini Jr.’s return to domestic league action will further strengthen Real Madrid’s chances of winning and help them better challenge Barcelona which currently sits at the top of the standings. And I predict that Real Madrid will win by at least a two-goal margin against Celta Vigo. Real Madrid certainly won’t have any trouble defeating Celta Vigo just as they did in their last meeting last season in Round 27. This upcoming match will be a great opportunity to showcase Real Madrid’s greatness both in the standings and even to their loyal fans. And I don't believe that Vini Jr. will lose his spot in the starting lineup as has been rumored (Source).

Every game is not necessarily whoever the team, although indeed in the average game a big team will get a much greater probability of winning, we know all that for a long time, this is not underestimating a small or below average team but indeed the tendency is like Unity, on the other hand small teams always have hope and do the best they can do to get points from every game, and hope that the big teams they face experience bad play so they can steal that opportunity to accumulate points, whether it's Real madrid or Barcelona or something else, even the teams that are below that are in the relegation zone

[Abdulzuruku01]

Alvarez really did some promo for Barcelona, they had many chances which they couldn't convert. The Alvarez that plays for Atletico Madrid this season is a shadow of who played last season. Atletico Madrid really needs to let him go hopefully in January. Atletico Madrid as a team didn't put the best effort to win that match, they were just wasting opportunities here and there and in the end lost all points to Barca, its a shame though, I was offended too by their lack of precision.

So are you trying to say Julian Alvarez helped Barcelona win? Although I knew this is what some fans would say but don't forget Alvarez made an assist that was converted to a goal by G. Simeone. If his intention was to give Barcelona a promo he wouldn't have given the assist. You know if one team is wasting chances, and the other team gets just one chance, they may likely utilise it. So to me, that was what happened between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. Yes, Atleti had several chances to win against Barcelona but they couldn't utilise them. And Barcelona used their chance and got the victory. To me i don't see Álvarez's fault.

You are right. Currently Real Madrid's squad is quite strong. Apart from Vinicius Junior they are performing well. Especially Mbappe is contributing a lot in every match. Overall I still think Real Madrid is quite strong. And their position has already been strengthened after defeating Barcelona in El Clasico. And it was really necessary for Real Madrid and Barcelona to face such a strong position in La Liga. Strong teams have positioned themselves. We can understand that even if we look at the points table. And the next match will be held with RC Celta de Vigo. And I think they are weak team for real Madrid . But their number of match losses is very low. They have lost only 3 matches so far, although they have been able to draw most of the matches. So it will be a bit difficult for Real Madrid to score goals. Because Real Madrid is not able to score multiple goals like Barcelona. They will win the match, but they should strengthen their attacking from the start and take the lead before the end of the first half. Then it won't be a problem if Real Madrid increases their defensive awareness later on.

I'm not really surprised about that performance from Julian Alvarez, because he's always wanted Barcelona move, but Atlético Madrid strip him off that chance, so scoring against his dream team is quite a taboo to him, but he's apologize anyways, but if I'm to be the coach he will be kept on the bench till further notice, because you can't risk the club for you own selfish interest, I trust Jose Mourinho on this kind of situation, he will make him regret his actions, like what exactly is this Julian feeling like if I may ask, does he think himself Ronaldo or Messi?

[bastisisca]

Real Madrid, as far as they are currently lagging behind, will be able to overcome this weakness with time. At the beginning of the season, we saw Real Madrid's performance very badly and then we said that if Mourinho gets some time, he will be able to bring Real Madrid back to its previous form, the current situation is the same and if this current situation continues, then their performance will definitely improve before the end of the season. If Barcelona makes some wrong decisions or if they lose their form, then Real Madrid will definitely go far and occupy the top spot of the points table and it will not be easy for Barcelona to occupy that place completely.

Everyone says that Real Madrid is behind but at this level i don't think there is any better team, they are 3 points behind Barcelona and it must be said that they won the first classic, so i have to say that this team is not really in too bad shape, and is demonstrating that it knows how to play very well.

Real Madrid has already boost their chance of competing for the Laliga title this season. Jose Mourinho has restructured the team so well, we doubted him when came, but I can now see that he has changed the entire narrative of the team despite losing some matches in the early weeks of Laliga, they are now just three points behind Barcelona.

The presence of Vini will actually make the team so strong again, he will be happy to be back and will want to give his best because Diomande that is playing his position is trying to take his position in the team because he did credibly well and scored goals and created an assists for the team, he has blend with rest of the players and I think he is now confident among his colleagues and can do better when given chance especially seeing that Vinicius is back after the suspension.

I don't know if it's Ai or real, when players were coming out from the dressing, Alvarez was the last person to come out and he was on the line of Barcelona players instead of Atletico Madrid players, I watched the video but cannot say if it's real or Ai because I haven't seen this before. I think Alvarez missed some chances on purpose, I think he doesn't want to score against Barcelona and if it's true, his only doing himself. He should understand that his a player of Atletico Madrid, he is under contract and by football laws, he is meant to put Atletico Madrid first before any other team while his wearing the club jersey.

[Rashlyowl]

You seem very confident that Celta will score.
They haven't really managed to score in significant, difficult matches take their games against Barcelona or Valencia, for instance. Real Madrid makes fewer defensive errors; they don't press extremely high up the pitch, which is why they are a side that commits fewer mistakes. In a match like this, both teams to score would be one of the bets I’d most want to avoid.

I don’t know when you first started following this league, but if you have been watching it for a long time, you would surely agree with my opinion. Celta is an attacking-minded team, they don’t pay much attention to their defensive line, believing that the best defense is attack itself. There is no point in us arguing here, better to just wait for the game schedule & see whether you or I'm wrong.

Haha  

I don't know how.you all seeing it as intentional, to me it is not fr. I think it's because of the recent situation that's making you guys believe he did that deliberately. Anyone could have missed this particular goals, Alvarez entering the picture is what's just making it look suspicious. I know Simeone would have sub him immediately if trully it looks obvious that's it was deliberate.

I don't know what measures the club might take, but it makes no sense for them to let him play again. He looked terrible, and honestly, I felt secondhand embarrassment for Julian's performance.

Regardless of the measures, the fans cannot trust him since they all believe that was on purpose. The only option is to sell him or loan him to another club that's not Barcelona.

Maybe is his way of silently protesting, but honestly the performance was horrible and he needs to answer some questions. How can an attacker of this class miss such clear chances. If he was angry or displeased about something, there are other ways to vent your anger in the sporting environment and beside social media has become a tool used by so many players these days to say what they feel. Alvarez did Atletico a dirty job on that pitch against Barca and he needs to be professionally punished.

[RockBell]

Based on the available and most recent results of these two teams, you can’t say that Real Madrid is not the best team to win, even if football may happen, there is still a high possibility of Real Madrid winning this game far more than Celta Vigo will win it. Let’s forget about what football is itself and that anything can happen.

Madrid have improved seriously and not just that the way it is even their last game against Valencia I was impressed because the way it is they are just 3 point behind Barcelona and if barcelona is not even careful they might even lose the title to real madrid because what exactly is happening and madrid are becoming the game changer because who would have expected the sudden change in the club we know anything can happen but they can not be to careless they need to be able to improve now am speaking to the both of them because I love challenge.

When a smaller team is playing against a bigger team, they already make up their mind that they will lose the game in most occasion, they’ll just be playing in order to mitigate the amount of goals they’ll concede in the game or even playing for a draw in a worst case scenario that they really need a point in that match and can’t risk losing it all. Real Madrid is a big team and even their performance of recent already made them the favourite in this game.

Not all small teams their teams that will make use of the opportunity that they are been underestimated and then defeat their opponent and that is who ever you are playing against you should not underestimate them because if you should do then you the big team will be the one to lose that game and that is why you need to come prepared both the big team and the small team, it's always going to be who played smarter.

I agree that Real Madrid won't drop points in this match; they'll do whatever it takes to avoid losing points in the title race. Besides, their strength is much better than Celta's; Celta is currently a team of average strength with no major ambitions.
Even without Vinicius Jr., they'll win this match easily; players like him are much needed against teams like Barcelona

Real Madrid being behind shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, this is because they started at a wrong footing from the beginning of this season, Jose Mourinho was trying to form a perfect team, that process made him lose and draw few games which made the team lag behind a little. Today the madrid team is a little bit back to their footing. Barcelona should not make the mistake of drawing or losing a game at this point, because it will be a disaster for them. Jose Mourinho has so created what I call a killer squad, the Real Madrid bench is filled with lots of stars, it's a matter of managing them properly.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I don't know about the scoreline, am in between at the moment if that's possible because Rayo Vallecano trashed this same Celta 3-0 so Real Madrid can still do it but their past matches together shows that Real Madrid doesn't really have a stronghold is winning with 2 goals lead. The only people I see giving Real Madrid problem is Real Sociedad and they don't meet them until December and stats shows that even though they are drawing with Celta they will miraculously get a penalty, lol.

At the moment some decisions before the match can be a benchmark because although for now Madrid are definitely favourites in this match but we have to see how some things before the match happen including to see some players in the international break.

If the issue of players is safe from fatigue or injury problems then Madrid will certainly be more comfortable in terms of favorites but sometimes the international break becomes a bit complicated because in some moments sometimes the players are injured which makes this a loss for the club.
I believe that 3 points can still be obtained but when there are some unexpected things this could also backfire for Madrid moreover we know for sure there will be rotation in attack because Vini returned to play after several games he was absent due to previous sanctions.
Frankly, I still don't like Vini's performance at the moment because for me he still needs a lot of adjustments so this must be used as proof because he will definitely start in the match.
