Form Guide
Castellón enter this one sitting pretty in fifth position on 31 points, firmly in the promotion play-off spots. However, they’ll be looking over their shoulder if they can’t get back to winning ways sharpish. The hosts know another slip-up could seriously dent their hopes of automatic promotion, which would be a right old Bobby Moore (sore) one for the fans.
Meanwhile, Huesca make the journey east having picked up a solitary point against Racing Santander last time out. Jon Andoni Pérez Alonso’s men are hovering in 15th place with 23 points, uncomfortably close to the drop zone. They’ll be desperate to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom four.
What’s at Stake
This clash has all the makings of a season-defining fixture for both sides:
- Castellón: Need a win to maintain their promotion credentials and keep pace with the automatic spots
- Huesca: Points are vital to avoid being dragged deeper into a relegation scrap
With Castellón’s promotion ambitions meeting Huesca’s survival instincts, expect a proper battle at the SkyFi Castalia. The home side will be banking on their passionate support to help them return to winning ways, while Huesca will be eyeing what would be a massive away result to kickstart their 2026.
