Segunda División Matchweek 13 runs from Friday 6 November to Monday 9 November 2026, featuring eleven scheduled fixtures across a disrupted weekend programme where three games have been called off. The central story of the round lies in the split fortunes of sides battling near the relegation boundary and those pushing toward the playoff positions. Note that forecasts are published the day before each kickoff, meaning the remaining projections for later fixtures appear on their respective match pages closer to matchday.
The standout fixture: Cordoba vs AD Ceuta FC
Cordoba welcome bottom-of-the-table AD Ceuta FC to Nuevo El Arcángel with a clear opportunity to pull themselves further into mid-table safety. Iván Ania's side enter the fixture 12th in the standings with 16 points from 12 matches, having built sharp attacking fluency at home with consecutive victories on their own ground.
Our forecasting model holds a firm projection for a Cordoba win, marking it with high confidence alongside a high-confidence call for Cordoba to score the opening goal. Iván Ania's side have consistently generated high-quality chances at home, and that creative rhythm contrasts sharply with Ceuta's defensive struggles on the road. AD Ceuta FC sit 22nd with just five points and a league-worst minus-17 goal difference, having conceded 27 times across their opening 12 fixtures.
The visitors arrive on the back of three consecutive defeats, most recently falling 2-0 at home against Sporting Gijon. With Kenneth Obinna Mamah ruled out through injury, their attacking burden falls heavily on Carlos Hernández, who leads the side with four goals. Cordoba deal with absences of their own, as Jacobo Marti and Adilson remain sidelined through injury while Ismael Ruiz serves a suspension. Even so, the model projects more than 2.5 total goals in the match with high confidence, reflecting Ceuta's porous defensive record.
Match-by-match
Castellón were originally slated to host Eibar on Friday, but the fixture between the league leaders and the third-placed Basque side has been called off. Castellón remain top of the table on 27 points following their 1-1 draw at Burgos, while Eibar hold 23 points after three games without a win.
Saturday's active schedule begins as Burgos host Celta de Vigo II. Sergio Francisco's team have built a dependable record at El Plantío, winning four of their seven home games and conceding an average of only one goal per contest. Our model projects a Burgos win with medium confidence and places high confidence on the hosts scoring the opening goal. As a low-confidence speculative projection, the model leans toward a 1-0 scoreline, with Burgos missing Grego Sierra through suspension and David González through injury, while the visitors arrive with 23 goals conceded in 12 matches.
Cadiz meet Oviedo in Saturday's afternoon kickoff. Cadiz sit 20th under Celades, having lost six of their last ten matches across all competitions, including a 2-1 defeat at Mallorca last time out. In contrast, Julian Calero's Oviedo side have won three of their six away fixtures and scored in every road match this term. The model cautiously projects an Oviedo win with low confidence, accompanied by a low-confidence call for fewer than 2.5 goals as Cadiz attempt to tighten their structure despite missing Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Gonzalo Petit and Iuri Tabatadze.
Leganes then host Albacete, looking to halt a six-match winless sequence. New manager Luis Carrión has had 20 days to work with the squad, though suspensions to Rubén Pulido and Yassine Kechta weaken his central options. Albacete have collected only seven points all season and sit 21st, yet they enter on the back of consecutive home wins over Sabadell and Eldense. Our model projects a Leganes win with medium confidence, anticipating that home territorial advantage will outweigh their recent scoring struggles.
Two further fixtures have been called off: fourth-placed Granada CF against Tenerife on Saturday night, and FC Andorra's meeting with fifth-placed Mallorca on Sunday afternoon. Both matches will need to be rescheduled at a later date.
On Sunday afternoon, Girona host second-placed Almeria in an encounter between two high-scoring outfits. Girona sit seventh with 21 points and 22 goals scored, though they must manage without the suspended David López and the injured Bryan Gil. Almeria hold second position with 26 points, led by top scorer Miguel de la Fuente with seven goals in all competitions, but arrive without Nico Melamed and Rodrigo Ely.
Later on Sunday, Sporting Gijon take on Valladolid. Sporting sit sixth with 22 points following a 2-0 win away at AD Ceuta FC, but their attacking depth is challenged with top scorer Antonio Casas and Andrés Ferrari ruled out. Valladolid, 13th in the table with 15 points, edged Leganes 4-3 in their last outing and rely on Adrián Arnuncio, who has scored five goals this season.
Las Palmas meet Eldense in Sunday's concurrent fixture. Las Palmas occupy 11th position with 17 points after back-to-back victories against Real Sociedad II and Oviedo, despite an injury list that includes Marvin Park and Sandro Ramírez. Eldense are 15th with 14 points, seeking to halt a run of two straight 2-0 defeats against Albacete and Granada CF.
Matchweek 13 concludes on Monday as Sabadell face Real Sociedad II. Sabadell sit 10th with 17 points but are winless in their last three outings and enter without the suspended Óscar Sanz and injured top scorer Nicholas Gioacchini. Real Sociedad II hold 19th position with 11 points, though they secured an encouraging 1-0 win against Girona last weekend behind Gorka Gorosabel's scoring efforts.
With three fixtures postponed, the table will have games in hand across both ends of the standings by Monday night. A positive result for Almeria could see them take top spot from Castellón, while the lower end offers Cordoba and Leganes a direct opportunity to put clear daylight between themselves and the relegation places.
