Recent form
Ahead of their clash in La Liga 2, Royal Society II and Las Palmas show contrasting momentum from their recent performances. Real Sociedad II have had a mixed run, securing just one win in their last five league matches. They started with an emphatic 2-0 win against Leganés, but then managed just two draws against Real Zaragoza and Cultural Leonesa, both finishing 1-1. A goalless draw with Albacete and a disappointing 1-3 defeat at home to Ceuta highlight their struggle to maintain consistency and capitalize on home advantage. In contrast, Las Palmas seem to be in a more positive phase, with two dominant victories in their last matches. They convincingly defeated Racing de Santander 4-1 and thrashed Cultural Leonesa 4-0 at home, showing their attacking prowess. Despite losing 1-2 to Córdoba and losing 1-2 to Real Zaragoza, they managed a balanced 1-1 draw with Deportivo La Coruña, indicating a more stable form compared to their next opponents. Las Palmas has historically held the upper hand in their head-to-head matches Royal Society II. In their most recent meeting in September 2025, Las Palmas emerged victorious with a 2-1 victory. Their past meetings have been closely contested but generally favor Las Palmas, who also managed a win in October 2021 and a draw in January 2022.

Royal Society II have experienced a mixed run of form in their last five La Liga 2 games, picking up a remarkable 2-0 away win against Leganés. This win was characterized by efficient attacking play and solid defending, despite having less possession (44%) and fewer set-piece opportunities such as corners (3) compared to Leganés. This result underscores their ability to capitalize on limited opportunities, a crucial trait for a team aiming to climb the league table. On the other hand, their performances in the rest of the matches show a propensity for draws, as can be seen in the 1-1 result against Real Zaragoza and Cultural Leonesa. These games highlighted a recurring theme of conceding possession and facing more free-kicks and yellow cards than their opponents. The higher number of yellow cards, especially in these matches, suggests the need for improved discipline that could avoid unnecessary pressure and disruptions in their tactical setup. The goalless draw against Albacete and the 3-1 loss against Ceuta further illustrate the inconsistencies in their offensive effectiveness and defensive organisation. The match against Albacete, in particular, showed a lack of creative spark, with Royal Society II did not register an assist, despite having a solid defensive showing that kept their opponents scoreless. In contrast, the loss to Ceuta exposed vulnerabilities as they struggled to control the game with just 45% possession and fewer corners. In terms of squad dynamics, the absence of Ekain Orobengoa due to a torn cruciate ligament is a major blow. His presence would have strengthened the depth and flexibility of the midfield. However, the predicted lineup suggests a balanced lineup with a mix of experienced players as of now Jon Balda and young talents like by Arkaitz Mariezkur. Their focus will likely be on consolidating the defensive organization while exploiting counter-attacking opportunities through the pace and creativity of forwards such as Lander in Astiazar i Gorka Carrera. This balance aims to stabilize the recent inconsistencies and use their strengths to achieve positive results in the upcoming matches.

Las Palmas have experienced a mixed run of form in their last five La Liga 2 games. They secured a resounding 4-0 win over Cultural Leonesa, showing their offensive prowess with four assists and a solid defensive performance. However, this triumph was offset by a 2-1 loss to Real Zaragoza, where despite dominating possession, they were unable to capitalize on their advantage. Similarly, the 1-1 draw with Deportivo La Coruña saw them maintain a high rate of possession but struggle to convert chances into goals, indicating a recurring challenge when breaking down defences. The away win against Racing de Santander was a highlight as Las Palmas proved effective in front of goal with a 4-1 result, despite conceding possession. This suggests an ability to take advantage of counterattack opportunities effectively. Instead, their last game, a 1-2 loss to Córdoba, was marred by disciplinary issues, as witnessed by four yellow cards and a red card, which likely disrupted their rhythm and contributed to the defeat. Jeremía Recoba’s absence due to a ruptured cruciate ligament is a major blow to the team’s defensive stability. However, the expected alignment, with Dinko Horkas in goal and a defensive line included Marvin Park and Mika Mármol, suggests a robust backline. The midfield, led by Enzo Loiodice i Manu Carpenterhe will have to control the game to protect the defense while providing opportunities for the attackers com Jonathan Viera i Iker Bravo. Given their current form and line-up, Las Palmas will be expected to capitalize on their possession-based style while being wary of defensive lapses and disciplinary issues. The team’s ability to adapt to different match scenarios, as demonstrated against Racing de Santander, could be crucial. However, the key will be to maintain composure and turn possession into tangible results, especially in high-pressure situations.
