CD Castellón host Almería at Estadio Municipal Castalia in a high‑stakes LaLiga 2 clash on 2 April 2026. Castellón are in the promotion‑play‑off zone, while Almería are second‑placed promotion‑chasing outsiders, making this a classic top‑half clash with a slight edge to the visitors in form and firepower.

Strength Comparison
Castellón sit in 6th–7th place, earning around 51–52 points from 32 games, and have been solid enough to stay in the top‑half fight. Their home record is competitive, with roughly half of their league wins coming at Castalia, but they have cooled off recently, earning only about 1.3 points per game over their last 10 fixtures.

Almería, by contrast, are 2nd–3rd with 58–59 points, having won seven of their last 10 league games and scoring around 2.3 goals per match over that stretch. They have one of the most potent attacks in the division, recently thumping Real Sociedad B 5–1, and their away form remains strong even if not quite as dominant as at home.

Head‑to‑Head
Head‑to‑head numbers are tightly packed but slightly in Almería’s favour. Across roughly nine senior meetings, Castellón have three wins, Almería five wins, and one draw, indicating a clear recent edge for the visitors. Over the last five games, Almería have won all five, which biases current form‑based assessments heavily toward them.

Goals have also been common in these fixtures: over the last five H2H meetings, four have finished with over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in four of the last five, underlining an attacking, open‑ended rivalry. That pattern sits with Castellón’s own recent trend of “both teams to score” in six straight matches, reinforcing the idea this will be a flowing game.

Key Factors
Home advantage exists for Castellón, but Almería’s form and attacking quality may outweigh it. Castellón have a 50% win rate at home this season and average about 1.5 goals per game there, which keeps them dangerous. However, the absence of suspended midfielder Benat Gerenabarrena could disrupt their balance in the middle of the park, making transitions trickier against Almería’s high press.

Almería, meanwhile, bring a red‑hot attack led by players like Leo Baptistao, returning from suspension and adding extra firepower in the final third. They average 2.4 total goals per game on the road, further increasing the chance of a multi‑goal thriller, especially if Castellón’s backline cannot cope with Almería’s pace and width.

Expert Prediction
Most tipsters and prediction outlets lean toward an away win for Almería, backing them to edge a tight top‑six battle. A 2–1 away victory is the most commonly cited correct score, with secondary options including 1–2 and 2–2, reflecting Almería’s scoring power and Castellón’s tendency to reply on the offensive end.

Given the high‑scoring history between the two sides and Castellón’s recent “both teams to score” streak, many previews also support “both teams to score” and “over 2.5 goals” markets. Overall, expect an open, entertaining LaLiga 2 match with a slight edge to Almería, likely finishing in the 2–1 to 2–2 range.
