Almeria vs Castellón Prediction (09.06.2026)

The first playoff clash between Castellon and Almeria kept the intrigue alive after a 1:1 draw, but the hosts may regret not taking the lead. They had territorial dominance and created the feeling that they were capable of tipping the scales in their favor, and their good streak with just one loss in the last 13 matches suggests that they will not give up easily in the return leg.

Almeria will still have the advantage of playing in front of their own fans, and they have already beaten Castellon at home once this season. However, their form seems more shaky, as losses are more common for them. After the draw in the first match, the pressure is enormous for both teams, which suggests a match in which neither side can afford a serious mistake.

It is hard to imagine a closed match given that the stakes are a place in the next phase of the battle for the elite. I expect chances at both ends, and the stability that Castellon has shown in recent months gives me reason to look at the double chance in their favor. The guests show that they rarely lose, and in my opinion, they have a good chance of avoiding defeat again.
