La Liga 2
Tier 2Spain
Albacete
ALB
Almería
ALM
Almería's push for promotion will be tested by a resilient Albacete side at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte. While the visitors may have more quality on paper, Albacete's solid home record and defensive organization could be enough to stifle Almería's attack and earn a valuable point.
Castellón
CAS
Racing de Santander
RAC
This is expected to be a closely contested match between two evenly matched sides. Castellón will look to leverage their passionate home support at the Nou Estadi Castàlia to gain an edge, and a single goal could decide this fixture.
Real Valladolid
VLL
Huesca
HUE
Real Valladolid's promotion charge should continue with a victory against a typically stubborn Huesca side. Playing at home, Valladolid's superior attacking talent and control of possession are expected to be too much for Huesca's defensive setup.
Real Zaragoza
ZAR
Burgos
BUR
Real Zaragoza will face a stern test from a notoriously defensive Burgos side in what promises to be a tactical battle. While goals are expected to be scarce, the backing of the home crowd at La Romareda could provide Zaragoza with the necessary impetus to break down Burgos's low block.
Granada
GRA
Málaga
MAL
The Andalusian derby promises a fiery encounter, but Granada's current standing and formidable home form make them the favorites. While Málaga will be highly motivated, Granada's superior quality should see them through in a hard-fought contest at the Nuevo Los Cármenes.
Cultural Leonesa
CUL
Las Palmas
LPA
Las Palmas possesses greater overall quality and is likely pushing for promotion, giving them a strong incentive to win. While Cultural Leonesa will benefit from home support and can be a tough opponent, the visitors' superior talent and experience should be the deciding factor in a competitive match.
Sporting de Gijón
SPO
Leganés
LEG
This is expected to be a tightly contested match between two well-matched teams who are often in the promotion playoff picture. Sporting's formidable home record at El Molinón will clash with Leganés's disciplined and organized defensive structure, making a stalemate a very likely outcome.
Eibar
EIB
Cádiz
CAD
Eibar's high-pressure style and excellent home record at their compact Ipurua stadium make them clear favorites. Cádiz, while often resilient, may struggle to cope with the home side's intensity and could find it difficult to create scoring chances on the road.
Real Sociedad B
RSB
Deportivo de La Coruña
DEP
Deportivo de La Coruña's experience, quality, and strong motivation for promotion should give them the edge over a talented but youthful Real Sociedad B side. While the home team plays an attractive style of football, Deportivo's pragmatism and greater need for the points are expected to be decisive.
Mirandés
MIR
Ceuta
CEU
Mirandés's strong record at their home ground, Anduva, should be the decisive factor against a Ceuta side likely struggling near the bottom of the table. The home side's physicality and directness will probably overwhelm the visitors, who often find it difficult on their travels.
Córdoba
COR
FC Andorra
AND
Córdoba are favored to win this encounter due to their formidable home record and greater motivation as they push for promotion. While FC Andorra are a capable side, their inconsistency on the road is likely to be their undoing in what is expected to be a tight, low-scoring affair.
