Castellón form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Castellón, who have the fewest clean sheets (5) in La Liga 2, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-8 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

Castellón won their last game, 4-0 versus Las Palmas played at home. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Girona's place.

As mentioned above, Castellón was the only team on the pitch versus Las Palmas in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Castellón's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Castellón - Leganés 2-0.
