Form & Streaks

Eibar has secured 7 wins in their last 10 league matches, showing high momentum.

Castellón has seen BTTS in 8 of their last 10 league fixtures.

Tactical Overview

Castellón enters this finale in solid rhythm, having lost only one of their last 10 matches in the Segunda División (5W, 4D, 1L). They have been formidable at home this season, averaging 2.0 goals per game in their 20 league matches at the Castalia. Tactical analysis suggests a three-man defensive wall of Alberto Jiménez, F. Brignani, and A. Sienra will anchor the backline, a setup that recently produced a 1-0 away win over Huesca. Eibar comes in with momentum after 7 wins in their last 10 matches, but their road form is less explosive, averaging just 0.7 goals per game away from home this season. With Castellón trending at a high recent-form xG of 2.05 per game, Eibar veteran Anaitz Arbilla will be under immense pressure to lead a defense missing the suspended Álvaro Rodríguez. Castellón's recent 3-1 victory over Burgos at home earlier this season highlights their ability to dismantle playoff rivals under pressure.
