Zaragoza have found form under Gabi
Real Zaragoza have shown a marked improvement in LaLiga 2 2024-2025 since Gabi took charge of the club in March 2025, winning three of their five matches under his leadership. Zaragoza beat Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 last time out, but had lost 1-0 to Real Oviedo in the previous away game.
The visitors are one point better off than Castellon in the LaLiga 2 2024-2025 standings in 17th place on 51 points, but the hosts are in 18th place on 50 after 41 games. Both teams will be desperate to avoid the drop and every point matters in the relegation zone, so this game has major implications for the season and is attracting attention for the Castellon vs Real Zaragoza prediction.
Castellon are unbeaten in their last two home games, winning one and drawing the other, but they have won only eight, drawn five and lost seven of their 20 home games in LaLiga 2 2024-2025, so the Castellon vs Real Zaragoza preview suggests they have not been a strong fortress this season.
