AI match recap
This is a major test of momentum versus urgency. Almería travel as the division's in-form side, carrying a long winning sequence and a far more reliable defensive base, while Real Sociedad B need to arrest a damaging losing run and finally make Zubieta count. Sanse are boosted by the availability of Arkaitz Mariezkurrena and Gorka Carrera, but they face an Almería group that has repeatedly shown patience when opponents defend deep. The home side's energy and verticality can make this uncomfortable, yet Almería's control in central areas is the clearest deciding theme.
Head-to-head analysis
Almería hold the stronger recent head-to-head record, including a dominant win in the most recent meeting last spring. The latest fixture at Zubieta was a draw, however, which supports the view that the home setting can narrow the gap.
Injuries and absences
Almería are without Ely, Gui Guedes and Vesga, with Vesga's absence particularly relevant to midfield screening and second-ball control. Álex Sola's return restores a useful wide and attacking option, while Sanse are strengthened by the availability of Mariezkurrena and Carrera.
