ℹ️ Team News: Castellón

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Castellón boss Johan Plat to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. Kenneth Mamah (Adductor injury) will miss out.

It’s our opinion that Castellón could opt for a 3-5-2 formation in the match featuring Gonzalo Crettaz, Daijiro Chirino, Óscar Gil, Jozhua Vertrouwd, Álex Calatrava, Thomas van den Belt, Juan Escobar, Israel Suero, Sergio Moyita, Ousmane Camara and Raúl Sánchez.

📰 Team News: Sporting Gijón

It’s our belief that Rojiblancos might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Rubén Yáñez, Kevin Vazquez, Rober Pier, Nikola Maras, José Angel, Nacho Martín, Lander Olaetxea, César Gelabert, Jonathan Dubasin, Juan Ferney Otero and Nico Serrano.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Sporting Gijón could well find it tough to see themselves scoring against this Castellón lineup who we think might well score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 win for Castellón at the conclusion of the game.

Should be a close one.
