FC Andorra and Real Sociedad B meet at Estadi de la FAF
Saturday afternoon at the Estadi de la FAF, FC Andorra host Real Sociedad B for matchday 5 of the LaLiga2 season. With both sides looking to establish momentum in the early stages of the campaign, the encounter promises a tactical test between two squads eager for consistency.
Expected lineups and personnel
Both teams are expected to field settled starting XIs as they look to find their rhythm. FC Andorra are anticipated to rely on the attacking trio of Moro Sidibe, Lautaro de Leon, and Hugo Lopez to provide the creative spark, supported by a midfield anchored by Sergio Molina and Efe Akman. Pau Lopez remains the expected choice in goal behind a defensive line featuring Marti Vila and Diego Alende.
Real Sociedad B are expected to counter with Gorka Carrera and Arkaitz Mariezkurrena leading the line. The visitors' midfield setup is likely to feature Lander Astiazaran and Alex Lebarbier, tasked with controlling the tempo against their hosts. Jon Balda and Kazunari Kita are expected to form the core of the defensive unit in front of goalkeeper Aitor Fraga.
The hosts' search for stability
FC Andorra enter this fixture following a challenging run of results in the early weeks of the season. After a heavy 5-1 victory over AD Ceuta FC in mid-August, the side has struggled to find the back of the net, suffering three consecutive league defeats.
Defensive concentration remains a focal point for the coaching staff. In their last 10 matches, the team has conceded 6 goals after the 75th minute, suggesting that maintaining focus during the closing stages will be critical to securing a positive result this weekend.
Momentum with the visitors
Real Sociedad B arrive at the Estadi de la FAF having shown resilience in their recent outings. They have remained unbeaten in their last three league matches, including a hard-fought 2-2 draw away at Burgos CF and a victory over Albacete in late August.
This unbeaten streak has provided the squad with a foundation of confidence as they travel to Andorra. Their ability to share the scoring burden and remain competitive in tight contests has been a hallmark of their form since the start of the season.
A history of competitive encounters
Matches between these two sides have historically been narrow affairs. In their most recent meeting on 7 February 2026, Real Sociedad B secured a 2-1 win in LaLiga2, building on a 3-0 victory from earlier in that same campaign.
While the visitors have enjoyed success in recent head-to-head fixtures, the history of this rivalry includes several draws, such as the 1-1 stalemate in October 2024. Both teams will be acutely aware that previous meetings have often been decided by fine margins, making the battle for midfield control particularly vital.
