Predictions & Betting Tips

Castellon are playing for their lives

Castellon’s season-long lack of consistency has left them fighting for their professional lives in the second division of Spanish soccer, although their home performance has been somewhat more solid. The Orange Army have won eight, drawn five and lost seven of their 20 home LaLiga 2 matches and appear to be more reliable at home than away, where they have split their last two with one win and one draw. Johan Plat has been in charge since January 2025 and appears to have steadied the ship with his pragmatic approach to the game. The away team will know what they are getting on Sunday when Castellon play with compact lines and try to frustrate their opponents. Our Castellon vs Real Zaragoza prediction takes into account Raul Sanchez, who has scored three goals in Castellon’s last five games, providing a reliable scoring threat at the top end of the field, but Israel Suero is their most prolific marksman with 11 in 38 LaLiga 2 appearances this term. A clinical striker capable of grabbing a goal when needed.

Zaragoza are in good form

Gabi took the Zaragoza reins in March 2025 and has inspired a noticeable upturn in form and points. Real Zaragoza have conceded 32 goals in 20 LaLiga 2 away games this season and have won six, drawn five and lost nine, so it is clear they are vulnerable on the road. This Castellon vs Real Zaragoza preview notes that Zaragoza recorded a 3-2 home win over Cartagena, a 1-0 away loss at Real Oviedo, and a 1-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna. Zaragoza play an enterprising brand of soccer, with full-backs pushing forward and midfielders trying to dominate the rhythm of the game. It will be a chess match on Sunday between Castellon's pragmatic game and Zaragoza’s attacking approach, and it could be decided by a moment of brilliance or a defensive error.

Draw looks likely

Mario Soberon has scored 10 LaLiga 2 goals in 24 appearances for Real Zaragoza this season, making him a clinical finisher to watch out for. Raul Guti has hit two in the last 5 with his ability to arrive in the right place at the right time. Castellon average 1.60 goals per LaLiga 2 home match, having scored 32 in 20 matches, while Zaragoza have conceded 32 in 20 away games, so there is a case for Castellon vs Real Zaragoza betting tips to consider an under 2.5 goals wager here. The bookmakers make Castellon 1.94 favorites, but we’re going to back Zaragoza at 3.70 because of their improved form. The Castellon vs Real Zaragoza prediction suggests it looks like a draw, however, which is priced at 3.82.
