Real Sociedad B
- Real Sociedad B are a solid mid-table side sitting 12th with 40 points from 30 matches.
- Ion Ansotegui has instilled a clear plan since his appointment in December 2025, getting his young team to play patient, possession-based soccer.
- They have a target man in the box, can play wide players who can cross or cut inside and have Job Ochieng in the hole, on fire for the last five games.
- Ochieng has scored six times in Sanse’s last five matches and has come of age in attack for them in the last few weeks, which has sparked a run of four wins in five and only one defeat during that spell.
- Their home results have been particularly good with seven wins, five draws and only three defeats from 15 home fixtures, including two wins in the last three.
- But they have conceded 18 goals in 15 home matches, an average of just over one per game.
Granada CF
- Granada CF are 16th in LaLiga 2 with 36 points from 30 games and could still be dragged into the battle for the drop if they don’t get some more points on the board.
- Pacheta has a pragmatic style with Granada CF and has done a good job since his arrival in May 2025.
- He sets them up to be compact and hard to get at, then lets them rip on the break when they win possession.
- The counter-attack is their best opportunity to get the ball in behind Real Sociedad B’s defence and they will be targeting the wide areas to catch Sanse on the wrong side of the field.
- Jorge Pascual is Granada’s top scorer with only six goals in 29 appearances in the second tier.
