Sabadell vs Real Sociedad B Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

CE Sabadell return to LaLiga Hypermotion action on Monday 9 November 2026, when they welcome Real Sociedad B to the Estadi Nova Creu Alta for a matchday 13 clash kicking off at 20:30 CET. The newly promoted Arlequinats have adapted impressively to life back in Spain's second tier after five seasons away, sitting 10th with 17 points from 12 games and boasting one of the meanest defensive records in the division, while Ion Ansotegi's Real Sociedad B arrive 19th on 11 points having shipped 22 goals — the leakiest defence in the bottom half of the table. Recent headlines favour the hosts too: Sanse did halt a four-match losing streak by edging Girona 1-0 on 31 October, but that solitary success cannot hide a traumatic autumn in which the Basque youngsters conceded 12 goals in five games, whereas Sabadell's only real blemish has been a brief winless patch — a 1-0 defeat at Burgos, a 1-1 home draw with Tenerife and a 2-0 reverse at Albacete — that Ferran Costa will be desperate to erase in front of his own fans. History offers Sanse mild encouragement, having taken two wins from the last four meetings between the sides, but the here and now points firmly to the Catalan outfit, and the betting market agrees: European odds price the home win at a short 1.72, the draw at around 3.60, and an away surprise at roughly 4.75.

Ferran Costa, appointed in June 2025 and the architect of back-to-back promotions, has constructed his 2026/27 Sabadell squad around defensive discipline, collective running and ruthless counter-attacking. Goalkeeper Diego Fuoli — signed on deadline day from Celta de Vigo — has been superb behind a settled back line of Pipa, Genar Fornés, Miki Codina and Edgar González, the latter on loan from Almería, while captain Urri anchors a hard-working midfield alongside Pere Pons, Quadri Liameed, Joel Priego, Eneko Aguilar and Patrick Nuamah, the Sassuolo loanee who adds a creative spark. The attacking burden is shared between Ángel Baena, Javi López-Pinto, Gastón Valles, Nicholas Gioacchini, Nikolay Obolskiy, Yanis Rahmani and Ton Ripoll, giving Costa enviable depth in the final third. The Arlequinats' early-autumn form was quietly excellent — a hard-earned 1-2 away victory at Ceuta on 10 October was followed by a disciplined 0-0 home draw with FC Andorra — and although that stalemate began a three-game winless run, Sabadell remain unbeaten at the Nova Creu Alta in LaLiga Hypermotion this season, having beaten Almería, Córdoba and Real Oviedo on home soil before grinding out draws with Andorra and Tenerife. With only 11 goals conceded in 12 league matches, this is a side built to suffocate opponents, and a young, attack-minded Real Sociedad B team looks tailor-made for their pressing traps.

Real Sociedad B's 2026/27 campaign has been a harsh learning curve for Ansotegi's promising but callow group. The Sanse squad is built around goalkeeper Aitor Fraga, captain and centre-back Jon Balda, defenders Jon Garro, Kazunari Kita and Iker Calderón, and a technically gifted midfield in which Gorka Gorosabel — the team's top scorer with three league goals — combines with the division's creative standout Lander Astiazarán, Dani Díaz, who already has five assists, Frenchman Alex Lebarbier and Jon Eceizabarrena. Up front, Arkaitz Mariezkurrena, Gorka Carrera, summer signing Javier Soroeta and exciting Ghanaian teenager Andrews Adjabeng provide pace, but the team's bravery in possession has repeatedly been undone by defensive generosity: a home 2-3 defeat to Granada on 4 October formed part of a desperate sequence that also featured a 3-1 loss at Ceuta, a 1-4 thrashing at Celta Fortuna and a 1-0 defeat at Las Palmas — three straight away league losses in which they conceded eight goals. The 1-0 home win over Girona last time out finally offered relief and proof that the Basques can grind out results, yet they remain second from bottom, only two points above rock-bottom Ceuta, and their away form is the worst argument in favour of a revival at the Nova Creu Alta, a ground where Sabadell have simply not lost this season.

Taking everything into account — Sabadell's defensive mastery, their unbeaten home record in 2026/27, Sanse's chronic away-day fragility and a fixture that pits Costa's streetwise pragmatism against Ansotegi's idealism — the home side deserve their status as clear favourites, and we are backing CE Sabadell to win 2-1. The predicted scoreline reflects both teams' identities: expect the Arlequinats to control the tempo through Urri and Pons, strike twice through their dangerous wide forwards, and concede once to a Sanse side that, for all its flaws, has scored in the majority of its matches and possesses real creative quality in Gorosabel, Astiazarán and Díaz. The European odds of approximately 1.72 for a Sabadell win, 3.60 for the draw and 4.75 for the visitors offer little value on the favourite alone, so the smarter angles are the home win combined with both teams to score, or over 2.5 goals at around even money, given Sanse's matches have averaged nearly three goals per game this season. Key battles will be fought in the half-spaces, where Nuamah and Baena can isolate Sanse's full-backs, and in midfield, where Sabadell's double pivot must prevent Astiazarán from dictating play. All signs point to a tight, tense evening in Sabadell — but ultimately to a 2-1 home victory that lifts the Arlequinats back into the top half and leaves Real Sociedad B looking anxously over their shoulders at the relegation z
