🗞️ Team News: Castellón

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Castellón boss Johan Plat to contend with. Kenneth Mamah (Adductor injury) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the view that FC Cartagena certainly have the ability to breach the defence of this Castellón outfit, although one goal probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We’ve gone for both teams to score in a 1-2 winning score for Castellón when all is said and done. Let’s see what happens here.
