Current Favorites

FC Barcelona: For as dominant as FC Barcelona has been in La Liga, they are looking to secure consecutive league titles for the first time since 2019. Through 19 matches, Barcelona is on a good pace to change that, as they sit atop the league standings with a 16-1-2 record and 49 points. With their 2-0 win over Espanyol on January 3rd, Barcelona not only improved their goal differential to a league-best (+33), but also stayed four points ahead of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid: If you went by trends, Real Madrid should win the league this season since they've traded titles with Barcelona over the past four years, with Barcelona being the most recent champion. Regardless, Real Madrid is still within striking distance of reclaiming the throne, as their 14-3-2 record has them at 45 points, just four behind Barcelona. When La Liga play resumes for Madrid on January 17th, the club has a good chance of remaining in the win column, as they face Levante, who is in 19th place.

Atletico Madrid: We have reached the five-year mark since the last time Atletico Madrid won the league. While they are still in the mix this season, sitting in fourth in the standings with 38 points, the club's recent performance over their last five league matches has not helped their case. Following a draw with Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid is 2-1-2 in that span, which has allowed Villarreal to overtake them for third place.
