Castellon head into this one in strong home form, taking ten points from their last five at home and sitting comfortably in the top four with genuine promotion ambitions. Cordoba arrive in decent nick themselves, winning three of their last five away from home, and their numbers on the road make them a disruptive opponent. They keep clean sheets in just 16% of away games and concede an average of 1.6 per trip, which points to a game where Castellon can find openings.

The goals angle here is worth noting. Cordoba's away matches land over 2.5 goals 68% of the time and see both teams score in 74% of fixtures, both well above the league averages of 50% and 55% respectively. Castellon are more controlled at home but still average over two scored per game. The single previous meeting ended in a Cordoba win, adding a touch of intrigue, but the form and data suggest Castellon are slight favourites in what should be an open, goal-friendly contest.
