Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

You won't say that Fc Barcelona perform poorly against Rayo Vallecano last night in the Spanish league, it was tough match for both club i know many expected Fc Barcelona to perform more than Rayo Vallecano and still win but got surprise to see that Rayo Vallecano held Fc Barcelona to a 1-1 draw after losing 1-0 in the first half after Yamal converted a penalty in the 40th minute to give Fc Barcelona a lead and a hope of winning at away to secure and 3 point but Rayo Vallecano says no and point was shared among both clubs.
Real madrid is at the top of the league having 9 points same point with Bilbao but with some goals different.

You have to thank VAR for being off when the foul occurred. And at a glance, Yamal is still Yamal he knows how to throw himself down. The draw was indeed a loss for Barcelona, but it was worth the risk they took when they let go of their best defender last season Iñigo Martínez. Congrats Tongue

In my opinion, Barcelona's performance last night was truly disappointing. They are a major La Liga team and boast a roster of expensive and high-quality players. But, their performance, as seen in last night's match, was quite disappointing. While it's true that Barcelona managed to draw against Rayo, I agree with Marsland's assumption that a draw against a weaker team can be considered a loss for Barcelona.

Therefore, I believe Hansi Flick really needs to improve his team's performance. I saw that Barcelona had significant defensive gaps in this match, as evidenced by Barcelona numerous shots on goal. This reflects Barcelona's current weak defense. Furthermore, their forward line also needs improvement. They missed many opportunities in this match. Therefore, I believe Hansi Flick has a lot of work to do at Barcelona.

And next week, Barcelona will face Valencia. I think Barcelona should be careful and not underestimate this team either.

It seems like many bettors lost on that match, as most people would have predicted Barcelona's victory. Barcelona typically boasts speed in attack and accuracy in shooting in front of goal, but what happened against Rayo was completely different. Honestly, I'm personally disappointed because I favored Barcelona in my betting. It seems the bookies were having a lucky streak in the Barcelona vs. Rayo match.

I also saw that Barcelona drew against a weaker team, essentially with a squad inferior to Barcelona's. That was a disadvantage for Barcelona, as they should have easily won that match. Flick must really improve Barcelona, as it's still early in the season, and there are still plenty of opportunities for him to improve his players and re-energize them.

Hopefully, Valencia vs. Barcelona will be an exciting match, but I'm likely backing Barcelona to win.
