Introduction to the Match
Welcome to an intriguing clash in the Spanish Segunda División as Real Sociedad San Sebastian B hosts UD Las Palmas. Both teams are looking to improve their standings, with Real Sociedad B aiming to capitalize on their home advantage at the Zubieta training ground, while Las Palmas seeks to continue their recent resilience on the road.
Real Sociedad San Sebastian B: Youthful Ambition
Real Sociedad B, under the stewardship of Ion Ansotegi, has shown promise with a 60% win ratio in his early tenure. Despite this, the team has struggled recently, failing to win in their last five matches. Their home form has been inconsistent, with two matches where they failed to score out of eleven. Gorka Carrera Zarranz, their top scorer with eight goals, will be crucial in breaking this dry spell. The team's youthful exuberance is evident, but they need to convert potential into points to climb the table.
UD Las Palmas: Fighting Spirit
Las Palmas comes into this match with a mixed bag of results. Their recent 1-1 draw against Osasuna, achieved with ten men, showcased their fighting spirit. However, their away form has been patchy, with four matches where they failed to score out of eleven. Despite this, they have managed to score in their last five consecutive matches, indicating a potential upturn in attacking form. The addition of French defender Andy Pelmard could bolster their defense, which has been under scrutiny after a heavy defeat to Real Madrid.
Head-to-Head and Tactical Insights
Historically, Las Palmas has had the upper hand in this fixture, winning two of the last three encounters. Real Sociedad B has struggled to find the net against them, averaging just 0.33 goals per match. Las Palmas, on the other hand, averages one goal per game in these meetings. Both teams have shown vulnerabilities, with Real Sociedad B often conceding when trailing at home, while Las Palmas has a low win percentage when falling behind away.
Prediction and Conclusion

Their ability to score consistently, coupled with Real Sociedad B's recent struggles, suggests an away victory is likely.
