Team Form & Recent Performances

Castellón

• 2024/25 Record (Projected): 12W, 6D, 13L in La Liga 2 (42 points, 11th); 4W, 2D, 3L in Copa del Rey and friendlies

• Latest Results: 2-1 win vs. Málaga (La Liga 2, March 10, 2025); 1-0 loss vs. Elche (La Liga 2, March 3, 2025)

• Home Form: 7W, 3D, 5L (20 goals scored, 16 conceded in La Liga 2)
  Castellón have been inconsistent but resilient, projected to win two of their last five matches across all competitions. They average 1.33 goals scored and 1.07 conceded per game at Estadio Skyfi Castalia, reflecting a decent attack bolstered by Kenneth Obinna Mamah and a defense that holds firm at home. Their recent win over Málaga signals a potential upturn, setting them up to challenge a Deportivo side they’ve met frequently in recent years.

Deportivo La Coruña

• 2024/25 Record (Projected): 12W, 9D, 10L in La Liga 2 (45 points, 7th); 5W, 2D, 3L in Copa del Rey and friendlies

• Latest Results: 1-1 draw vs. Tenerife (La Liga 2, March 11, 2025); 1-0 win vs. Burgos (La Liga 2, March 4, 2025)

• Away Form: 5W, 4D, 6L (16 goals scored, 18 conceded in La Liga 2)
  Deportivo have been steady on the road, projected to win two of their last five matches across all competitions under Óscar Gilsanz. They average 1.07 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game away, showing a balanced but not overwhelming attack led by Mario Soriano. Their recent draw against Tenerife maintains a seven-game unbeaten streak (W4, D3), but facing Atalanta’s home crowd could test their resilience.

Head-to-Head Stats & Historical Context

• Overall Record: Deportivo La Coruña 22W, Castellón 14W, 16D (52 meetings since 1941)

• Recent Meeting: December 19, 2024: Deportivo La Coruña 1-1 Castellón (La Liga 2)

• Key Trend: Deportivo have won 4 of the last 5 H2Hs; 60% of recent meetings saw over 2.5 goals
  Deportivo hold a slight historical edge, with a 5-1 thrashing of Castellón in December 2023 standing out. Matches average 2.70 goals in the last 10 encounters, and Castellón’s last home win over Deportivo was a 1-0 result in May 2024 (Primera RFEF playoff). The December 2024 draw (1-1) at Abanca-Riazor suggests competitiveness, but Deportivo’s recent dominance could weigh heavily.

Key Players to Watch

Castellón

• Kenneth Obinna Mamah (FWD): 7 goals, 3 assists in La Liga 2; pacey striker with finishing flair.

• Israel Suero (MID): 5 goals, 4 assists in La Liga 2; creative force in midfield.

• Gonzalo Crettaz (GK): 6 clean sheets in La Liga 2; steady presence in goal.

Deportivo La Coruña

• Mario Soriano (MID): 6 goals, 5 assists in La Liga 2; versatile playmaker driving the attack.

• Yeremay Hernández (FWD): 5 goals, 3 assists in La Liga 2; young winger with flair.

• Germán Parreño (GK): 7 clean sheets in La Liga 2; reliable shot-stopper.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Castellón’s 4-2-3-1 (1.29 goals per game in La Liga 2) relies on Mamah’s finishing and Suero’s creativity, likely holding 51% possession at home to exploit Deportivo’s defense (1.10 goals conceded per game) with quick transitions. Injuries to Brian Schwake (doubtful, knock) may see Crettaz remain in goal. Deportivo’s 4-4-2 (1.23 goals per game in La Liga 2) hinges on Soriano’s versatility and Hernández’s pace, aiming for 49% possession to counter, with no major injuries reported. The 15,000 fans at Estadio Skyfi Castalia will rally Castellón, suggesting a tight match where home advantage could challenge Deportivo’s unbeaten streak, though their H2H edge looms large.
