Castellon vs Almeria Prediction & Tips
The Albinegros go into this tie with the enthusiasm of a club eager to return to the top flight of Spanish football after no less than 35 years. They finished the league season in sixth place with 72 points, which gives them home advantage in this first leg. Castalia, one of the most atmospheric stadiums in the division, could prove a key asset for the home side in this opening clash.
The Anti-Violence Commission has declared both legs of this tie to be high-risk, which means access restrictions for away fans at both venues – a measure that reflects the anticipation and tension surrounding the tie.
Recent encounters between the two sides have produced some striking results. Earlier this season, Castellón beat Almería 4–1 at Castalia in the league, although Almería won the return fixture. This even head-to-head record suggests a closely contested tie.
