Match preview

Castellón head into the closing stages of the regular season in a tight but still encouraging position. They currently sit 6th with 65 points, holding onto a playoff place, but only just — with Eibar sitting a single point behind in 7th. In their most recent outing, Castellón drew 1–1 away to Ceuta, following a narrow 1–2 home defeat to in-form Córdoba.

Despite that setback, their overall form remains relatively solid. Over the last six matches, they have recorded three wins, two draws, and just one defeat. Prior to losing to Córdoba, they put together an impressive run of attacking performances, beating Málaga 3–2, Burgos 3–1, and Granada 3–2. Their biggest strength continues to be their forward play, with the team regularly creating chances and scoring in high numbers.

Cádiz, on the other hand, arrive in Castellón in a deep and persistent slump. Their 0–1 home defeat to Deportivo La Coruña last round stretched their winless run to nine matches, with eight losses and only one draw in that period. Sitting 18th with 39 points, they remain heavily involved in the relegation fight.

The concern for Cádiz is not only results but also overall stability. The team have struggled to find balance in both attack and defence. Before losing to Deportivo, they drew 2–2 with Cultural Leonesa, but prior to that suffered defeats to Las Palmas (1–2), Sporting Gijón (0–3), Andorra (0–1), and Córdoba (1–3). This run of form makes the trip to a motivated playoff contender extremely challenging.
