Real Sociedad B (home)
- Castellon are second in LaLiga 2, with 49 points from 28 games, while Real Sociedad B are 16th, with 34 points from the same number of games.
- Real Sociedad B have 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in their last three home games (Won 1, Drawn 1, Lost 1).
- There’s an interesting contrast in styles on Saturday when Castellon, an aggressive pressing team in LaLiga 2, visit Real Sociedad B, who prefer to play with the ball on the ground and at their own pace.
Castellon (away)
- Castellon are undefeated in their last two away games (Won 1, Drawn 1).
- Ion Ansotegui’s side play a system, building up from the back and controlling games with midfield pivots and ball-playing defenders.
- Castellon, by contrast, play a pressing style with high defensive intensity, quick transitions and a willingness to gamble on defense in order to force opponents into mistakes and then exploit space behind their defense.
- Hernandez has no fear of leaving space in behind his back four, and has the forwards and wide players to run into it, and the ball-playing centre-backs to retrieve it.
Head-to-Head
Real Sociedad B have a lot of young players coming through the ranks and have failed to beat Castellon in the last three head-to-head meetings, losing once and drawing twice.
