REF’s picks

Almería arrive in exceptional form at the summit of LaLiga 2 and hold a clear upper hand over a struggling Real Sociedad B side. Backing the visitors to secure all three points aligns well with their strong winning momentum and superior squad quality.

1. 1Almería sit top of the table with five consecutive victories and immense offensive confidence.
2. 2Real Sociedad B have lost four of their last five matches, conceding goals at an alarming rate.
3. 3An away slip-up remains entirely possible given the unpredictable nature of second-tier Spanish football and the hosts' desperation for points.
