Castellon vs Las Palmas Match Preview

Castellon faces Las Palmas for the 27th round of the Spanish Segunda Division at Nou Castalia. In the first round, Las Palmas won by 2-1. The match will be held behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The hosts suffered another defeat in the previous round, this time against Girona by 2-1 on the road, having 4 consecutive defeats in the league. Their biggest problem is their attack, as Juan Carlos Garrido's side struggles to find the back of the net. After this result, they remain at the bottom of the league with a total of 22 points, being 5 points away from the safety zone.

From now on, every round will be crucial for them as they fight for their presence in next season's Segunda Division. Eneko Satrustegui will be the only missing for the hosts today. In the following round of the league they will face Leganes on the road.

Las Palmas, on the other hand, put an end to their negative streak of 3 consecutive defeats by prevailing 2-0 over Cartagena at home. They entered the pitch strong with Maikel Mesa and Pejino scoring two goals before the halftime. For the rest of the game, Las Palmas faced no struggle to keep their lead and Pepe Mel's team deservedly got all three points.

After this result, Las Palmas reached at 10th spot in the standings with a total of 35 points, creating an 11-point difference from the relegation zone. They aim to finish in the top-six spots, something that so far seems quite difficult to achieve. Maikel Mesa will be the only missing for Las Palmas, due to yellow card suspension. Sergio Araujo, on the other hand, is back, fully recovered from his injury and he is expected to start in the game.

Castellon may be hungry for points, but this could lead them to lose the game if they play naively in the offense. Las Palmas is in better form and comes from a big win, so I think they will have an easier task here. I'll take the away win DNB, offered at odds that double our stake.
