Espanyol to boost promotion hopes at Castellon
CD Castellon vs RCD Espanyol - 26/03/2021
4265
On Friday night, Espanyol travels to relegation-threatened Castellon, as the Catalan team look to move closer to a quick return to La Liga.
While Espanyol are hopeful of a return to the Spanish top-tier, opponents Castellon are just hoping that they are not playing in the third tier next season.
They currently find themselves in the relegation zone courtesy of a 2-0 defeat against 19th place Alcorcon. However, they are just three points shy of 16th place Real Zaragoza.
CD Castellon head into this clash in good spirits too after a four-game unbeaten run in the Spanish second tier. Last time out they drew 0-0 with Lugo.
The key to their recent run of form has been solid defensive displays, as the home side has conceded just once in their last four league outings.
Their home form has been inconsistent of late in the Segunda. However, they have won five of their last eight matches on home soil.
Espanyol head into this game increasingly confident that they will be playing top-flight football once again next season after just one season in the Segunda.
RCDE are second-place in the table, three points behind league leaders Real Mallorca, but just two points ahead of third-place Almeria.
The visitors are unbeaten in seven Segunda matches, although four of those matches have finished all-square.
Maverick striker Raul De Tomas has played a leading role in Espanyol’s promotion bid, as the 26-year-old has scored 16 league goals this season. The striker’s goals have propelled RCD Espanyol to the top of the goalscoring charts in the Spanish second tier.
Vicente Moreno’s team are four games unbeaten in the Segunda on their travels. However, they have also won just once in their previous six outings away from home.
Forebet predicts that Espanyol will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their hopes of playing La Liga football next season.
