This could be an interesting match as Leioa have their presumed home advantage while Real Sociedad II are ahead 11 points in the Segunda B - Group 2 table.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Real Sociedad II have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
