It’s been seldom in recent games that Castellón have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Castellón have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals in the process.

Team News: Castellón
There’s just one fitness concern for the Castellón manager Johan Plat to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group of players. Kenneth Mamah (Adductor injury) won’t play.
It seems likely that Castellón look set to kick off with a 3-4-3 formation for the game, utilising Amir Abedzadeh, Josep Calavera, Juan Escobar, Jozhua Vertrouwd, Giovanni Zarfino, Albert Lottin, Óscar Gil, Milos Jojic, Brian Cipenga, Nick Markanich and Gonzalo Pastor.
📰
Team News: Real Zaragoza
From our viewpoint, Blanquillos could decide to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup, going with Gaëtan Poussin, Marcos Luna, Bernardo Vital, Jair Amador, Dani Tasende, Francho Serrano, Kervin Arriaga, Raúl Guti, Malcom Adu Ares, Dani Gómez and Pau Sans.

Prediction
We believe that Real Zaragoza are likely to breach the defence of this Castellón side, but that is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.
We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Castellón at the end of the 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
