📰 Team News: Castellón

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Castellón manager Johan Plat to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Kenneth Mamah (Adductor injury) is out of contention.

In our view, Castellón could kick off with a 3-5-2 formation for the game with 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.

ℹ️ Team News: Sporting Gijón

We reckon that Rojiblancos might make use of a 4-2-3-1 system using 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.
