Form & Streaks
Castellón has won 6 of their last 10 league matches, including their most recent 2-1 victory over Eibar.
Almeria has suffered 5 losses in their last 10 away matches across all competitions.
Castellón has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head encounters against Almeria.
Tactical Overview
Castellón enters this semi-final with significant momentum, having won 6 of their last 10 matches in the Segunda División. Their attacking play is trending at 2.04 xG per game in recent form, fueled by the creativity of Álex Calatrava and the presence of Ousmane Camara. However, the hosts must navigate this tie without B. Cipenga and A. Mabil, who are absent on international duty. Almeria will rely on Miguel de la Fuente for firepower, but their defensive unit, led by Federico Bonini, has been porous away from home, conceding 18 goals across their last 10 road trips. This defensive fragility was evident in their recent 1-3 loss at Sporting Gijon. Given Castellón secured a 2-0 win over Almeria as recently as April, the tactical edge remains with the home side's superior control of possession, which is averaging 55% in recent-form weighted matches.
