Season ticket holders at Nou Estadi Castalia haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Castellón languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting FC Cartagena will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Castellón form and stats
1-0-4 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga 2 numbers at home for Castellón, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in La Liga 2, so far this season. It's trouble wherever Castellón are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Game days at Nou Estadi Castalia have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Castellón as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Castellón haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 209 minutes ago. J. Fernandez scored that one.
Castellón are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Real Oviedo. Heartbreak before that as Castellón lost 0-1 at Sporting Gijon's place.
As you see from the result above, Castellón suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Óscar Whalley had a busy but productive day in the Real Oviedo match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Castellón have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won six, drawn one and lost three.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Castellón here at Nou Estadi Castalia in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 5 games). 5 goals have been conceded.
