Castellón are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Mallorca. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Real Zaragoza in a game that was won 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Castellón perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Castellón are traveling soon after this match as the Copa Del Rey match at San Fernando CD awaits in four days.
