Celta Fortuna - Real Sociedad B
Celta Fortuna and Real Sociedad B look to break recent slumps
Both sides enter this matchday 9 clash at Abanca Balaidos on 10 October 2026 desperate to arrest a slide in form. Celta Fortuna have struggled to find consistency, suffering a narrow 3-2 defeat against Sporting Gijon in their most recent outing, while Real Sociedad B arrive following a disappointing 3-2 loss to Granada. Discipline will be a significant factor for the hosts, who must navigate this fixture without the suspended Anxo Rodriguez and Pablo Meixus.
Real Sociedad B face their own selection headache as Arkaitz Mariezkurrena is sidelined through suspension. The visitors will look to recapture the attacking spark they displayed in a 3-1 victory over FC Andorra last month, though their recent defensive record remains a concern. With both teams aiming to move up the LaLiga2 table, the expected XI for Celta Fortuna will rely on the creativity of Aldrine Kibet, while Real Sociedad B look to Gorka Carrera to lead their response.
