Sociedad B sit 16th and have managed just one win in their last five, though their home record shows some defensive solidity with a clean sheet rate of 32% and an average of 1.3 conceded per game at home. Mirandes arrive in the relegation zone and in poor away form, winning just once on the road in their last five. The one prior meeting went in Mirandes' favour, though the sample is too thin to draw strong conclusions.

The goals angle is worth noting. Mirandes away matches have seen BTTS in 68% of games and over 2.5 goals in 63%, both well above the league average, and their away clean sheet rate of just 5% tells its own story. Sociedad B at home are slightly below average for both metrics. Even so, Mirandes' leaky defence on the road points to an open game.

With both sides needing points for very different survival reasons, this looks like a match with more attacking intent than the home side's modest form might suggest.
