Almeria will host Real Sociedad B at the UD Almeria Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have been in playoff conversations for most parts of the season but are looking to go a step further and secure direct promotion to the top flight after two seasons in the second tier.
Following a slight setback a fortnight ago that saw them lose 2-0 to relegation-threatened Real Zaragoza, Almería delivered a convincing response away at Huesca last time out, winning 3-1. Leading 2-1 at the break, a red card for Leo Baptistão early in the second half threatened to derail La Unión’s plans, but they remained undeterred, going on to score a third goal to seal the points.
Thanks for the submission!
Back in the second tier for the first time since the 2021-22 season, Real Sociedad B have acquitted themselves well in the division and could climb into the top half with maximum points on Sunday.
Sociedad hosted Granada in their last match and were punished for their slowness out of the blocks, conceding twice in the opening five minutes. Despite going on to dominate much of the remainder of the contest, it was too little, too late for Ion Ansotegi’s side who ultimately lost 2-0.
Almeria vs Real Sociedad B Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Almeria vs Real Sociedad B Prediction
La Unión have won two of their last three games and have lost just one of their last eight. They have also won five of their last six matches at the UD Almeria Stadium and will fancy their chances ahead of Sunday’s encounter.
Similarly, Sanse have won five of their last seven games in the league. They have also been solid on the road recently, but could falter against a much stronger side this weekend.
