Real Sociedad B
On November 9, Sabadell will host Real Sociedad B at the Nova Creu Alta Stadium in the 13th round of the Spanish Segunda. The hosts boast a solid defense but are struggling to find the net. The visitors recently ended their losing streak, yet they remain one of the most vulnerable defensive teams in the league.

Sabadell
Ferran Costa's side sit 11th with 17 points after 12 rounds. The team has suffered just three defeats and conceded 11 goals — one of the best defensive records in the division. However, their recent results have been underwhelming: one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five matches. In the previous round, Sabadell suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat to relegation candidates Albacete.
The hosts' main problem is a lack of attacking efficiency. They have scored just 12 goals in 12 matches, the third-worst tally in the league. Among their most active players is Ángel Baena, who has scored twice and registered 12 shots across five appearances. Sabadell favor a direct style of football, compete aggressively for second balls and often halt opponents with fouls.
Real Sociedad B
Real Sociedad's reserve side, coached by Ion Ansotegi, are going through a difficult spell. After four consecutive defeats in which they conceded 12 goals, the Basque side produced a surprise 1-0 win over Girona. That victory ended their poor run but did not solve their systemic problems: Real Sociedad B have conceded 22 goals in 12 rounds, recording one of the weakest defenses in the championship.
At the same time, the visitors try to control possession and build attacks through short passes. Their passing accuracy reached 84% in their last five matches, but territorial dominance has rarely translated into goals. Lander Astiasaran remains one of the team's most dangerous players, with two goals and 13 shots to his name. Dani Díaz also plays an important role in creating chances, having provided two assists.

Can the hosts capitalize on the visitors' problems: Sabadell vs Real Sociedad B prediction
Despite their unconvincing results in recent weeks, Sabadell look like the favorites thanks to their organized defense and home advantage. The visitors are capable of controlling possession, but their poor finishing and regular defensive mistakes give the hosts a strong chance of securing a positive result.
A high-scoring contest is not expected. Sabadell rarely play open football, while the Basque side will find it difficult to create chances against a compact defense. The high intensity of the battle also increases the likelihood of a large number of bookings.
