Both sides can score in a exciting clash
Castellon are in fine form and look well placed for promotion as the season comes to a close. Sitting 4th in the LaLiga 2 table with 64 points from 37 games, Castellon are on a five-game unbeaten streak (Won 4, drawn 1) ahead of the visit of Cordoba this weekend. Pablo Hernandez has instilled a real balance and structure in his side, as they are typically a well-organised team with a low block, but they can build patiently from the back and transition quickly thanks to their double pivot. This Castellon vs Cordoba preview highlights that Castellon are a tough nut to crack at Castalia, they’re unbeaten in their last three (Won 3) and they’ll head into this clash as favourites.
Cordoba have had a similarly impressive season, sitting 10th in LaLiga 2 with 54 points from their 37 games. They’ve won four of their last five and are on a current four-game winning run ahead of this clash, so they’ll be right up for this game. According to our Castellon vs Cordoba prediction, Ivan Ania has opted for a more progressive system than Castellon, preferring to press the ball and play at a higher tempo. They’re just as likely to play 4-2-3-1 as they are 4-3-3 and they look to control the game by pressing high and making quick passes. Cristian Carracedo has been an important player in their recent run, he’s provided three assists in his last five games, often getting things moving in the final third.
Cordoba to make it three in a row
Castellon are in a similar vein to Cordoba, but more measured, so this really is a clash of two very different systems. Castellon are a well organised side with a 4-2-3-1 and it will be interesting to see if they can get the better of Cordoba, who like to control the ball and press. Furthermore, this Castellon vs Cordoba prediction suggests Cordoba have won their last two games against Castellon and both sides will be motivated to try and seal the win, given Castellon are still pushing for promotion. With Cordoba having won 7, drawn 5 and lost 7 of their 19 away matches (W7, D5, L7) and Castellon failing to beat Cordoba in their last two meetings, we’re backing the away team in the double chance market.
Castellon are favourites here at 1.58, but there is plenty of value elsewhere, such as over 2.5 goals at 1.38 and both teams to score at 1.48. As per the Castellon vs Cordoba betting tips, Castellon are an incredibly consistent side, averaging 2.11 goals per-game at Castalia, whilst they concede 1.17 per-game. Cordoba will certainly create chances against them, but the hosts are a hard team to break down. Alex Calatrava leads the line for Castellon with 13 goals, he’s scored five in his last five, so he’s a red hot bet to score anytime here. In addition, the Castellon vs Cordoba prediction highlights that Adrian Fuentes is the top scorer for Cordoba with 12.
