Almeria vs Castellon Prediction 16.09.2024 | La Liga 2

• Competition:  La Liga 2
• Date: September 16, 2024
• Kickoff: 20:30 CEST
• Venue: Power Horse Stadium

22 teams in the Segunda fight for one of the first two positions and direct placement in the Primera.

After a bad previous season and relegation from the elite, Almeria has set the goal of an express return to the elite. But not everything went according to plan. After four rounds played, they are just 12th in the table with 5 points won. Their only win so far was in the second match on the road against Tenerife with a minimal result, and other results are two draws and one loss. That one defeat surprisingly happened in the match of the last round against the new member of Segunda Eldense. It's still the early part of the season and everything can be corrected. If anyone can do it with this team, it's Joan Sicilia Rubi, who has spent this fourth season on the Almeiria bench.

On the other side, Castellon is a club that for the last 30 years has mostly played in low-level competitions. After three consecutive years in the Primera Federacion, they won a return to the Segunda last season. At this moment, they probably don't have the quality for a higher placement in the league, so staying in the league will be a great success for now. So far, they have collected 4 points in the same number of matches played.  It will take some time for this club to get used to the intensity of the matches in this rank, but there is no doubt that they have a certain quality, they certainly wouldn't just jump into this kind of competition for no reason

Almeria vs Castellon pick: ALMERIA TO WIN

After relegation from LaLiga last season, there were expected to be a lot of changes in the roster of Almeria. Obviously, it takes some time for the team to play together and for everything to fall into place. For now, the defense seems decent, but there is a problem with the efficiency of the team. Four scored goals in four matches is not much for a club that is aiming for the highest ranking. In the first three matches of the new season, Castellon presented a solid and disciplined game, but in the last match against Cadiz, all their shortcomings in the game were visible. Almeria could prove that too, for which a potential victory would mean a lot in the field of self-confidence for the rest of the season. Odds on the home team's victory have value and are worth taking advantage of.
