Sonseca vs Albacete II - Tercera División RFEF - Group 18

The Tercera División RFEF - Group 18 returns to Estadio Martín Juanes on April 2, 2026, where Sonseca and Albacete II will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Josh Allen had an impressive first game at the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium in their second NFL fixture of the season.

Both camps will view the Tercera División RFEF - Group 18 meeting at Estadio Martín Juanes as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. Albacete II will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. It remains to be seen if Leeds will target a No 10 or a winger capable of playing inside now that Brandt is off the table.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Sonseca will look to impose their style on home soil, while Albacete II are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. No wonder the skipper had talked of a 'new Aston Villa' in the pre-match press conference with what seemed like genuine excitement.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Their plans to target a new midfielder are not a sign that long-term Manchester United target Carlos Baleba is off anywhere.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 1-1. Whatever the outcome, the Tercera División RFEF - Group 18 fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
