- Albacete Balompie have won four of their last five matches and three in a row
- Real Sociedad B have won one of their last five games (D2, L2)
- Albacete have won two of their last three home games (L1)
Albacete are on a roll
These two teams met in a 0-0 draw in LaLiga 2 four months ago, but the home side has improved in the intervening period and will be expected to benefit from home advantage on Sunday. This Albacete Balompie vs Real Sociedad B preview highlights how the home team has evolved since their last meeting.
Albacete Balompie currently occupy 12th spot in the table with 53 points from 39 games, while Real Sociedad B are 16th with 45 from the same number of matches.
Albacete’s appointment of Alberto Gonzalez as head coach in March 2024 has provided an injection of youth, energy and a more vertical attacking style to the squad.
Betancor is the most reliable of the front four with 11 goals in 35 games in the second tier this season, but there is plenty of support for him in the form of a dynamic midfield that has driven his team to three straight wins. Our Albacete Balompie vs Real Sociedad B prediction suggests that with this solid form, Betancor and his teammates could extend their winning streak this weekend.
Albacete’s recent wins include victories over FC Andorra, Cultural Leonesa and Cordoba, and their recent home form shows 2 wins and 1 loss from their last 3 matches.
Betting on a home win
Gonzalez’s team have been more aggressive in their transition play and pressing since he took over, especially at home, and should win this match-up at a shade of 1.82. The Albacete Balompie vs Real Sociedad B prediction leans toward a home victory due to these improvements. Real Sociedad B will want to keep the game calm and under control, as is the way of their manager Ion Ansotegui since taking charge in December 2025.
The Sociedad club is a technical team and builds from the back, preferring to press in a collective fashion to get the ball back rather than just trying to make a game chaotic. Carrera is their most reliable attacking option with 14 goals in 36 appearances in the Spanish second tier and the game should feature plenty of end-to-end action.
Both clubs have conceded 31 goals in LaLiga 2, an average of 1.55 per game, so over 2.5 goals at 1.64 and both teams to score at 1.57 make sense here.
