Real Sociedad II – Albacete

Match analysis

Real Sociedad II host a struggling Albacete side in what looks like a decisive clash for the home team’s promotion hopes. Sitting eighth with eight points from five games – two wins, two draws and a single loss, and a modest +2 goal difference (8‑6) – the Basque reserves will be keen to consolidate their position in the upper half of the table. Albacete, languishing at the foot of the standings in 21st place, have managed only a solitary point after a goalless draw and four defeats, leaving them with a -5 goal deficit (3‑8). With the gap between the two sides stark both in points and form, Real Sociedad II enter the fixture as clear favourites, while Albacete will need a dramatic turnaround to avoid slipping further down the table.
