"However, opening the 2025/26 campaign with what was an astonishing 4-4 stalemate at home against Albacete, Rubi's men have been forced to settle for a single point in two of their first three Segunda appearances and they will be desperate to collect a heavyweight scalp here. Last seen signing off August with a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Real Sociedad B, La Union also know the importance of finding some defensive stability."
"As for the visitors, while Racing Santander might have suffered their own respective play-off frustration back on June 12th as they git hit with a 7-4 aggregate defeat against Mirandes, Jose Alberto Lopez's side haven't shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Flying out of the traps since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, the Cantabria-based outfit get this weekend's fixtures underway leading the chase at the top of the Segunda table."
Almeria began the 2025/26 Segunda campaign with a 4-4 home draw against Albacete and have collected only one point in two of their first three matches. Rubi's side conceded late and finished August with a 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad B, highlighting defensive instability and just one clean sheet in five Segunda fixtures since last season. Racing Santander won their first three matches, including 3-1 against Castellon and 4-1 at Ceuta, and lead the Segunda table. Jose Alberto Lopez's team display potent attacking form, while Almeria remain vulnerable at the back, suggesting an open, high-scoring encounter.
