Real Valladolid - Castellon

Real Valladolid enter matchday 14 on 14 November 2026 with momentum, having secured back-to-back victories against Leganes and Sporting Gijon. Their recent form has been defined by high-scoring encounters, including a thrilling 4-3 win and a dominant 5-0 victory over Albacete. However, the hosts face selection challenges, with Ivan Alejo and Juanmi Latasa both sidelined for this fixture. The expected XI, featuring Adrian Arnu in attack and Alvaro Aceves in goal, will need to remain disciplined to contain their visitors.

Castellon arrive at Estadio Jose Zorrilla in strong form, highlighted by emphatic away wins against Las Palmas and Conquense. While they were held to a draw by Burgos CF in their most recent outing, their ability to keep clean sheets has been a hallmark of their recent run. In their last meeting on 8 February 2026, Castellon secured a convincing 4-0 win, providing a psychological edge as they look to maintain their competitive standing.
