Castellon (home)
- Castellon have not won in their last five matches (L3, D2).
- They have been a very solid team when in their low-to-mid block and very dangerous when they can break with pace on the counter attack.
- Ousmane Nana Camara has been their star man with nine goals in 25 appearances in the second tier and he is always a threat on the break.
- Castellon have won nine, drawn three and lost only three at home this season.
Almeria (away)
- Union Deportiva Almeria have won three of their last five games, scoring nine goals.
- Rubi, who took charge of Almeria in July 2024, has created a possession team that are as tactically disciplined as they are a threat to score from open play and set-piece plays.
- Sergio Arribas has been their talisman with 18 goals in 31 LaLiga 2 games this term, four of which have come in the last five, so he is a must for the anytime scorer bettors.
- Almeria have won six, drawn five and lost five of their away LaLiga 2 games.
