Match Preview
Real Sociedad B enters this match in a deeply worrying slump. They have only managed to collect one single point from their last five outings. Will Ion Ansotegui find a tactical switch to wake his players up? Things are looking extremely bleak for the struggling home side.
Scoring has been a massive issue lately. The hosts have drawn a blank in four of their last five matches. That is a terrible look for any professional squad. However, Gorka Carrera starts today and his thirteen goals this season give the home fans a glimmer of hope.
Defensively, they are missing a crucial piece today. Gorka Gorosabel is sidelined due to suspension, taking away a gritty presence who averages 0.69 cards per 90 minutes. Inaki Ruperez is also out injured, so the backline will definitely be tested against the high flying league leaders.
Racing Santander arrives full of confidence and sitting right at the top of the table. They have secured six points from their last five matches. It is hard not to admire their attacking intent, as they have banged in ten goals over that same short stretch of games.
Their away matches are pure box office entertainment. A massive 76 percent of their road games have ended with both teams scoring. Andres Martin leads the line brilliantly, bringing eighteen league goals and a deadly 0.56 goals per 90 minutes average to this tricky away fixture.
They are not without issues, though. Mario Garcia is out suspended, while Manex Lozano misses out through a cruel season ending injury. Even so, the visitors remain heavy favorites to grab a result here. If you want more tips like this, check our latest LaLiga 2 Predictions online.

Prediction
Both Teams to Score @1.50
Racing Santander is involved in highly entertaining matches when playing on the road this season. They boast an incredible 76 percent strike rate for both teams scoring in their away fixtures. Furthermore, they score an impressive 1.71 goals per away match while also conceding exactly 1.71 goals on average. This points heavily towards an open game where defensive mistakes are very likely to happen.
Real Sociedad B desperately needs to find some attacking rhythm at home to escape their poor run of form.

With lethal forward Gorka Carrera on the pitch, who has bagged 13 goals so far, the hosts have enough individual quality to breach a vulnerable visiting defense at least once today.
