Albacete head into this late-season fixture with genuine momentum, winning three of their last five at home and sitting comfortably mid-table. Sociedad B, by contrast, have been inconsistent on the road, managing just one win in five away games, and their league position reflects a side that has struggled to string results together. The sole previous meeting ended level, but the sample size is too small to read much into that.

The goal data adds an interesting dimension. Albacete's home BTTS rate of 65% sits notably above the league average of 56%, and their defensive record is soft — conceding 1.6 per game at home. Sociedad B away, however, land well below average on both BTTS (45%) and over 2.5 (40%), suggesting they tend to keep things tight on their travels despite their position.

The clash of a leaky Albacete defence against a disciplined but toothless Sociedad B attack makes this one genuinely difficult to read. This looks tighter and lower-scoring than the surface-level home advantage might suggest.
