FC Barcelona<\/strong> would no longer be the favorite to be crowned champion of LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/strong>. At least not according to the predictions of Opta Analyst<\/strong>. The statistical system’s supercomputer gives the Bar\u00e7a team a 24.86% chance of retaining the title<\/strong> obtained in 24\/25.<\/p>

At the beginning of the season, Bar\u00e7a was the main candidate for the title with a 46.5% chance<\/a>. Real Madrid<\/strong>, meanwhile, was second with a 32.1% probability of being champion. After the ‘merengue’ victory in the Cl\u00e1sico (2-1), the white team now appears as the main favorite, with a high percentage (68.18%).<\/p>

Hansi Flick’s team has now seen its chances of lifting the trophy reduced by 21.64% compared to the initial forecast. After 10 matchdays, the difference is 5 points, still with the Cl\u00e1sico of the second round at Camp Nou (matchday 35)<\/a> to be played.<\/p>

Opta’s prediction: Bar\u00e7a would finish LaLiga 25\/26 with 8 fewer points<\/h2>

Opta Predictions – LaLiga 25\/26 (October 2025)<\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

According to Opta’s Supercomputer, Bar\u00e7a, who already have a couple of defeats in the tournament, would finish LaLiga with only 80 points<\/strong>, 8 less than those obtained last season. Real Madrid, on the other hand, would be champion with 87 units.<\/p>

On average, the last five La Liga champions needed at least 86 points to lift the trophy<\/strong>. Atl\u00e9tico and Real Madrid secured the title with that amount in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Bar\u00e7a, on the other hand, made 88 in 2023 and 2025. Los Blancos reached the maximum top of the last decade in 2024, with 95 units.<\/p>

Opta completes the upper zone of the standings with Atl\u00e9tico <\/strong>(3rd), Villarreal <\/strong>(4th), Betis <\/strong>(5th), and Athletic <\/strong>(6th). Regarding the forecast prior to matchday 1, the only difference is the position of the ‘verdiblancos’ and the Basques. The ‘lions’ have entered a crisis with only one victory in the last 5 matches and have fallen to ninth place.<\/p>
