Cultural Leonesa
- Cultural Leonesa (16th, 23 points) have just 2 points and one place better record than Real Sociedad B (17th, 21 points) after 19 games in LaLiga 2 2025-2026.
- Leonesa’s record at home hasn’t been great, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 5 of their 9 LaLiga 2 matches, but there have been signs of improvement in recent weeks with the team winning 2 of their last 3 at their home ground.
- Cuco Ziganda has implemented a compact 4-4-2 system that is disciplined in defence and dangerous from set plays and on the counterattack.
Real Sociedad B
- Sanse have been very poor on the road in LaLiga 2, winning only 1 of their 9 away matches and losing 8 of them.
- They have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per game on the road and they will need to improve on that in this key fixture if they want to stay in the division.
- Ion Ansotegui’s side play a high-tempo, youthful brand of soccer that builds from the back through the midfield, rotating to overload attacking areas, or applying high pressure to turn opponents over and create chances in numbers.
- They have played some excellent soccer at times, but often let leads slip and are defensively susceptible at the back.
Head-to-Head
- Real Sociedad B have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5, beating Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 away but losing 1-3 at home to AD Ceuta FC.
- Cultural Leonesa have the best recent record in this fixture, unbeaten in the last 4 head to head meetings (1 win, 3 draws), although the last meeting, at Real Sociedad B’s ground, finished 2-2.
Key Players
- Jon Balda's recent form has given Sanse a bit more firepower and he has scored 2 of their last 5 goals over the past 5 matches.
- Manu Justo is Leonesa’s top scorer with 5 goals in 17 appearances in the league this season and Gorka Carrera is the top scorer for the visitors with 7 goals in the same number of appearances.
Betting Insights
- The odds for this matchup seem slightly skewed with Cultural Leonesa at 1.9, Real Sociedad B at 4.1 and the draw at 3.3.
- The Under 2.5 goals line at 1.7 looks a strong alternative to the win markets.
Prediction
- With both teams on shaky form at the moment and desperate for the points to move up from the bottom, a home win looks the most likely outcome.
- The Under 2.5 market is a viable alternative given both sides' recent inconsistency.
