- Competition: La Liga 2
- Date: Monday, 5th May 2025
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Municipal de Castalia (Castellón de la Plana)
Castellon are from this season part of La Liga 2, and they can be very satisfied with probably avoiding relegation. With five league rounds left, Castellon are six points above the drop zone and probably need only a few more points to be completely safe. Castellon were in a solid run of four games without defeat lately, but in the previous round, they lost 1-0 on the road against Malaga. Both teams had more than enough chances to score, but Malaga had better efficiency, so they left Castellon empty-handed.
While Castellon are satisfied just with avoiding relegation, for Sporting Gijon, that is hardly enough. The team from Asturias hoped to have some chances of promotion to La Liga, but they are currently with only seven points more than the drop zone. Sporting Gijon won only two of the last 12 matches. In the previous La Liga 2 round, they lost 1-0 on the road against Cadiz. The guests weren't the weaker team in that match, but their attack failed them that time.
Castellon vs Sporting Gijon pick: Both teams to score - yes
Castellon scored in eight of the last nine matches. On the other hand, Sporting Gijon scored in four of the previous five games. We should expect goals on both sides in the upcoming tie at Estadio Municipal de Castalla.

Castellon team news
Castellon's Alberto Jimenez got his 11th yellow card in the previous round and will serve a suspension in the upcoming tie. Jimenez is a regular starter for Castellon, and his absence in defense could be a big problem. Castellon will also be without Douglas Aurelio, Brian Cipenga, Kenneth Obinha Mamah, and Salva Ruiz against Sporting Gijon.
