Wow, they are already third? Although after the season where Real won the Champions League beating Chelsea, Liverpool and City in succession and was recognized as only the third club of the season (after City and Liverpool haha) I will not be surprised by anything and this is a good sign 
As for my prediction, I don't really believe in predictions for tournaments that have a playoff section - too much randomness, but I am happy that the likelihood that this season will be a battle of top clubs and not a battle of the disabled is high. To begin with, I would like Real to win La Liga. They are the favorites there now, but they were favorites last season too.
The favourites are just a guess. Were PSG favourites to win the title last season? No, they were completely out of the running. We might see a favourite or an underdog win the title this season. If the winning teams were determined based on historical statistics, we might not see any new teams. Real Madrid are a very strong team now, especially after signing some new players. But there are still teams that can threaten Real Madrid. We cannot ignore the likes of Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid. They are also in the running and could give Real Madrid a tough time.As for my prediction, I don't really believe in predictions for tournaments that have a playoff section - too much randomness, but I am happy that the likelihood that this season will be a battle of top clubs and not a battle of the disabled is high.
