Castellón – Valladolid

Castellón head into the clash as table‑toppers, perched on 13 points after four wins and a draw and boasting a 7‑2 goal difference, while Valladolid languish in 17th place with just four points from a solitary victory, a draw and three defeats and a -5 goal margin. The home side will look to extend their unbeaten run and widen the gap at the summit, whereas the visitors must claw back into the safety zone and reverse a season that has seen them concede seven times. Their head‑to‑head record this campaign offers no precedent, making the encounter a decisive test for both clubs’ ambitions.
