Key Players
-
Castellon:
- Pablo Hernández took over at the helm of Castellon in September 2025 and has brought his Bielsa-esque high-pressing style to the club to good effect.
- Alex Calatrava has been a reliable option for Castellon up front with 5 goals in 22 league appearances, but they have no out-and-out star up front, so Zaragoza can certainly frustrate them.
-
Real Zaragoza:
- Kenan Kodro is the most reliable forward for Zaragoza with six goals in 16 league games, although he has scored four in his last five games to hit a hot streak.
- The other significant creative spark they have is Dani Tasende, who has three assists in his last five appearances, so that indicates how compact and structured they have become since Rubén Sellés took over in October 2025.
Betting Insights
- The visitors are 2.0 to win, while Zaragoza are 3.6 in their own backyard and that’s just too narrow a spread to back the home team with.
- The Under 2.5 goals line at 1.83 looks appealing given Zaragoza average just 0.82 goals per home match.
Prediction
Backing Castellon to edge a low-scoring game looks the way to go in this matchup given the visitors’ superior form, league position and attacking identity, but Zaragoza are good at keeping games close so the Under 2.5 goals line at 1.83 is tempting.
