The Home Fortress
CD Castellon is like that friend who throws the best house parties – they just don't lose at home. With five successive home wins, they're turning their stadium into a fortress. Despite their overall mid-table position in LaLiga 2, Castellon's home form is a beacon of hope. Their recent defeat against Cordoba might have been a hiccup, but when they're on their turf, they seem to channel their inner gladiators.
The Leganes Rollercoaster
Meanwhile, CD Leganes is riding a rollercoaster of form. Fresh off a victory against Atletico Madrid, they're showing resilience and a knack for surprises. However, their away form is a mixed bag, with a record of 4-5-2. They've failed to score in three of their eleven away matches, which could be a concern as they head into Castellon's den.
Head-to-Head History
History seems to favor Castellon in this matchup. In their last three encounters, Castellon has emerged victorious twice, with one draw. Leganes hasn't managed to beat Castellon in their recent meetings, and the average number of goals in these clashes is a mere one per game. This suggests a tight contest, but Castellon's home advantage could tip the scales.
The Prediction
Given Castellon's impressive home form and Leganes' inconsistent away performances, the scales are tipping in favor of a home win. With Castellon's knack for scoring late goals and Leganes' struggles to find the net on the road, it's likely that both teams won't score. Castellon's fortress-like home record and Leganes' away struggles make this a compelling case for a home victory.
