Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio El Alcoraz will host the La Liga 2 round 16 clash between Huesca and Castellon, with the hosts desperate to put an end to their winless run stretching back to October 4, 2024. Huesca showed signs of improvement in their narrow loss to Eldense, with substitute Sergi Enrich finding the net. His performance is likely to earn him a place in the starting XI for this encounter. However, the hosts will once again be without forward Hugo Vallejo, who remains on the sidelines with injury.
Castellon, on the other hand, head into the game reeling from a poor defensive display in their 3-1 loss to Mirandes. The visitors’ shaky defence has been exposed in recent weeks, and their task in Huesca will be even tougher with midfielder Josep Calavera banned for this encounter. With Huesca eager to bounce back and Castellon struggling defensively, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side.
Highlighted Team (Castellon):
CD Castellon is a Spanish club based in the Valencian Community. Valencia flag dominates the club’s crest, but their home colours are white with black stripes. Castellon footballers wear green jerseys and green shorts when playing on the travels.
The club have been having their ups and downs ever since it was founded on July 20, 1922, with the team finishing fifth in the Spanish elite division in the 1972/73 season. It has to be noted that Castellon have not played in La Liga since the 1990/91 campaign when they suffered relegation to Segunda Division. Nowadays, Castellon compete in the Spanish second tier, with the team welcoming their rivals at Nou Castalia stadium.
Legendary Spanish coach Vicente Del Bosque played for the club in the 1970s. Castellon’s biggest success came in the 1972/73 season as they participated in the Copa del rey final. However, Athletic Bilbao proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
