La Liga 2
Leganés and Castellón do not share a long history of meetings, given the visitors’ more recent rise through the divisions. However, whenever these two sides have crossed paths, the matches have typically been tight and competitive. In past encounters, Castellón have done better, avoiding defeat on two occasions: they drew 0-0 in 2021 and secured a 2-0 win a year prior to that.
Leganes team overview
Leganés head into this fixture looking to extend their steady start to the 2025/26 La Liga 2 season. Carlos Martínez’s side have been difficult to break down, with five of their six league matches so far producing under 2.5 goals. Their defensive record is one of the better ones in the division, though their attacking output has been modest, with goals coming sporadically. At home, Leganés remain resilient and have built their performances around discipline and organisation - they have drawn twice and lost once.
In terms of availability, no major new injury concerns have been reported. With a compact defensive shape and strong home support, Leganés will be confident of limiting Castellón’s attacking threats.

Castellon team overview
Castellón have impressed since their return to the Segunda División, showing plenty of ambition with their attacking style of play. Pablo Hernandez’s team have been competitive in most of their matches, though they have only picked up one win in the first six league fixtures. They have managed to find the net in the majority of their games - failing to score only once - but their defensive record has been more vulnerable compared to Leganés, with goals conceded in key moments (11 in total). Last weekend, they finally registered their first win of the season, defeating Cultural Leonesa 3-1 on the road.
Squad fitness looks positive, with no significant injury absences reported ahead of the trip to Butarque.

Prediction
This contest promises to be a clash of styles - Leganés’ organisation and resilience against Castellón’s energy and attacking flair. The hosts will look to use their experience and defensive solidity to frustrate Castellón, while the visitors will aim to test Leganés with pace and unpredictability.
Considering the playing styles of both sides, this match is likely to be very tight. Leganés’ home advantage and defensive resilience could make them a tough nut to crack for Castellón, as five of their six La Liga 2 matches this season have featured under 2.5 goals. A low-scoring game, with under 2.5 goals, appears the most likely outcome.
Three reasons we expect Under 2.5
- Under 2.5 goals have been recorded in six of Leganés’ last seven matches across all competitions
- Over 2.5 goals have been produced in only one of Leganés’ six league games this season
- Under 2.5 goals were also recorded in the last two head-to-head meetings between Leganés and Castellón
Main prediction Leganes - Castellón
Under 2.5 goals
