- Competition: La Liga 2
- Date: Friday, 18th April 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Municipal de Castalia (Castellón de la Plana)
There are seven La Liga 2 rounds left, and Castellon are still not safe from relegation. They are four points above the drop zone, and every point could be crucial. Castellon haven't had too much success lately, as they have collected only four points in the last six matches. In the previous game, the team from Castellon de la Plana played 1-1 on the road against Racing Santander. Both teams tried hard to get all three points, but eventually, sharing points was the most realistic outcome.
Almeria still have a chance to bounce back and return to La Liga after only one year of absence. Rubi's team is only one point behind the promotion playoff zone. Almeria didn't play well in the previous months, winning only three of the last 14 matches. Last weekend, Almeria won 2-1 at home against Cartagena. The home side had complete control of the game, and it was never really doubted which team would pick up points.
Castellon vs Almeria pick: Over 2.5 goals
Both these teams are high-scoring lately. Castellon scored 12 goals in the last seven matches, while Almeria scored nine goals in the previous five games. We should expect at least three goals in Friday's tie.

Castellon team news
Castellon won only one point in the last match, but the head coach, Johan Plat, remained optimistic about his team's chances of avoiding relegation. He said, "In recent games, we have deserved more points, like in this last one, but we only got one. Despite that, I think we have to continue playing like this, just as we have in the last five or six weeks. We are playing well."
Castellon have some problems with missing players. They will be without Douglas Aurelio, Kenneth Obinna Mamah, and Salva Ruiz on Friday against Almeria.

Almeria team news
Almeria secured an important win against Cartagena last weekend, and the head coach, Rubi, was satisfied. He said, "We played an extraordinary 70 minutes, but we weren't very effective in front of goal because we squandered many chances and converted two. Then we entered a stalemate, and the penalty made us all nervous, and we ended up suffering. If anyone is responsible for the last 10 minutes, it's me because what I tried to do didn't go as I expected. We'll try to be sharper in the final minutes, but we can't forget that we achieved an important victory."
Iddrisu Baba, Chumi, and Rachad Fettal are injured and will not play in Castellon de la Plana.
