Castellon vs Almeria prediction 02.04.2026 | La Liga 2

Castellón head into this fixture with relatively solid overall numbers, as they remain in contention for automatic promotion to La Liga if they can significantly improve their poor winning record over the past couple of weeks. Pablo Hernández’s men have endured a six-game winless run since late February, and at this rate they appear destined to struggle to preserve their place in the top six.

From an attacking perspective, Ousmane Camara leads the scoring charts with nine league goals, while Cala and Iago Suero provide additional support in the final third. Brian Cipenga remains a key creative outlet with seven assists, highlighting Castellón’s reliance on wide attacking play and quick transitions.

Castellón’s disciplinary record has been worrying in recent weeks, as Hernández’s side have had four first-team players sent off in their last six league fixtures. Jérémy Mellot and Agustín Sienra are expected to return to the starting eleven after serving their suspensions.

Almería, on the other hand, have enjoyed a fantastic last couple of months and are on course to secure direct promotion to the Spanish top division next season. Rubi’s men have recorded an impressive seven wins in their last nine La Liga 2 fixtures, losing only once to Real Zaragoza during this stretch, which has left them sitting just one point behind league leaders Racing Club Santander.

Sergio Arribas has been the standout performer with 20 league goals, supported by Adrián Embarba, who has contributed 11 goals and eight assists, while Léo Baptistão adds further attacking depth. This attacking trio gives Almería a significant edge in offensive efficiency and chance creation.
