Castellon vs Almeria

The race for automatic promotion is heating up in the Spanish La Liga 2, as Castellon host Almeria at the Estadio Municipal de Castalia on Thursday.

The hosts are looking for a win to close the gap on the Rojiblancos, who are battling to win the title and return to the top flight.

Castellon News

Castellon have established themselves as one of the top sides in the Spanish second division this season and remain in the race for promotion. However, their recent outings have left some doubts in their ambition, as they are currently winless in their last six games and were held to a 1-1 draw at Albacete in their last match.

The Orelluts sit sixth on the table, occupying the final promotion play-off spot. Although they have lost just three times in their last 10 games, three wins in that period don't inspire much confidence heading into this clash. They played out four draws in that run and scored in nine matches, keeping four clean sheets.

Pablo Hernandez's men, however, have been tough to face at home, where they have won eight of their last 10. But, having gone winless in their last two home games, their form remains concerning. They have been involved in open games at home, with over 2.5 goals produced in five of their last 10 at the Estadio Municipal de Castalia.

Almeria News

Almeria find themselves in a heated title race with league leaders Racing Santander. They have scored the most goals (64) in the division this campaign, highlighted by a 5-1 home win over Real Sociedad B in their most recent outing.

Juan Ferrer's men sit second in the table, one point behind the leaders with 10 games left. They are in solid form coming into this one, winning seven of their last 10 league matches. They scored in eight of those games and managed only one clean sheet. Known for their fast starts, Almeria have scored first in four of their last six games, with Sergio Arribas on target in that run.

Almeria's problems, however, are on the road, with only three victories in their last 10 away matches. But two wins and one draw in their last four away games mean their fortunes are changing. Goals have been in abundance in matches involving the Rojiblancos, with over 2.5 goals recorded in seven of their last 10 fixtures.

Head to Head

This will be the 10th meeting between these two teams, and Almeria hold the upper hand with five wins in their previous nine clashes. Though Castellon have managed three victories, they were beaten 1-0 by Almeria in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

CD Castellon v Almeria

Castellon have scored in nine of their last 10, while Almeria netted in eight of theirs. Backing BTTS as the best option for this encounter makes sense.

Almeria hold the upper hand in this matchup and have scored first in four of their last five meetings. A fast start could ensure the visitors take a goal lead, with Almeria 1UP looking solid. Arribas has scored in four of Almeria's last six and could decide this tie with a goal at any time.
