Real Sociedad B - Granada

Real Sociedad B enter this matchday 8 fixture looking to recover from a recent slump, having suffered a 3-1 defeat against AD Ceuta FC following a narrow loss to Mallorca. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, though they showed attacking promise in a 3-1 victory over FC Andorra earlier in September. Meanwhile, Granada arrive at Estadio Zubieta XXI struggling to find defensive rhythm after consecutive losses to FC Andorra and Leganes. Despite a bright start to the campaign, their form has dipped, and they will need to address the gaps that allowed three goals in each of their last two outings.

The two sides face off on 4 October 2026, with both teams managing significant squad disruptions. Real Sociedad B must navigate the absence of suspended duo Kazunari Kita and Arkaitz Mariezkurrena, while Granada are without the injured Baila Diallo and Alejandro Marques. History favors the visitors, who secured a 2-0 victory in their most recent meeting on 22 March 2026. As the expected XIs take the pitch, the question remains whether the hosts can exploit Granada's current defensive vulnerability to turn their own fortunes around.
