Real Sociedad B
One of the key fixtures of the upcoming round in Spain’s Segunda División will be played on Sunday at the U.D. Almería Stadium, where the local side Almería will take on Real Sociedad B. Let’s take a closer look at a bet on the outcome of this clash, which comes with a solid chance of success: the hosts are in great form, but the Basques have also become a lively and tricky team, making it unlikely that this will simply follow the typical home script.

Match preview
Almería come into this match in excellent form and are once again feeling like real contenders in the promotion race. Their 3-1 win over Huesca marked their third victory in the last five rounds, with their only defeat in this stretch coming against Zaragoza – a result that signals they’re making a serious push for the top as the season enters its decisive phase.
Even more crucially, Almería have been dominant and composed at home. Four straight wins on their own turf, a high goal tally, and 55 points after 31 rounds – this is more than just a good spell; it’s a team that has truly found its rhythm in the battle for direct promotion.
Real Sociedad B aren’t arriving as mere bystanders either; this is a side that has weathered a tough period of the season with real quality. Yes, the Basques lost 0-2 at home to Granada in the last round, but before that, they had won back-to-back matches, most notably a 4-2 triumph against Castellón and a confident 2-0 away win at Córdoba.
The team from San Sebastián no longer look like relegation battlers and are playing with much more freedom than they did in the autumn. With 40 points, they have pulled away from the danger zone, and with a three-match unbeaten run on the road, this won’t be a match where the favorites can expect to win on class alone.
Probable line-ups
- Almería: A. Fernández, M. Luna, R. Ely, F. Bonini, A. Muñoz, D. Lopi, S. Dzodic, L. Baptistao, S. Arribas, A. Embarba, M. De la Fuente.
- Real Sociedad B: A. Fraga, A. Dadie, L. Beitia, K. Kita, U. Agote, D. Díaz Gandara, T. Carbonell del Rio, I. Basurko, M. Rodríguez, A. Mariescurrena, J. Ochieng.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Almería are third in the table with 55 points after 31 rounds, while Real Sociedad B sit 13th with 40 points.
- In the first half of the season, the teams drew 2-2, and in their last two head-to-head meetings, Almería have one win and one draw.
- As hosts, Almería have won four consecutive home games, while the Basques are unbeaten in three consecutive away fixtures.
Prediction
This is a match where the home side’s motivation in the standings looks stronger, but the visitors’ form suggests Almería won’t have an easy evening. The Andalusians truly look like a team capable of breaking down opponents on their own pitch, but “Sanse” are organized and energetic enough to keep the favorites under pressure for at least part of the match. In terms of attacking quality and depth, the edge is still with the hosts, but the Basques are adept at seizing moments and thrive in transitional phases.
