Match preview: Santander vs Castellón
Santander and Castellón face off at El Sardinero’s Sport Campos for the 35th round of the Adelante League. In their last meeting in this competition on 22nd September 2024, Racing Santander emerged victorious with a score of 1-0. While this match sees the 3rd-placed side take on the 15th, it is essential to note that the standings reflect an 8th position for both teams when it comes to home and away games.
Team analysis: Santander
The home team currently occupies 3rd place with 59 points, having secured 17 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate fixture, they triumphed 2-0 at home against Real Zaragoza, while their last outing saw them defeated 3-1 by the rising challengers. It appears that their performance is relatively unaffected by the venue, as they have gathered similar points both at home (31) and away (28), scoring 30 goals and conceding 16 at El Sardinero, while on the road they netted 23 times but conceded 24 goals. In the league, Santander has accrued 19 points from a possible 30 in their last 10 matches, resulting from 6 victories, 1 draw, and 3 losses. The most common half-time scoreline at home has been 0-0, occurring in 7 out of 17 games. While their defensive performance has often been vulnerable, with goals conceded in 8 out of the last 10 matches, they have consistently found the back of the net, scoring at least once in each of their last 10 league appearances. Notably, in 34 games this season, they have only come back to win in 4 of the 15 occasions when they conceded the first goal.
Racing Santander has showcased significant attacking prowess as they continue to seek a direct promotion spot, despite their recent setback against the 3-1 home defeat. Javier Castro scored their only goal in that match. They employ a tactical 4-2-3-1 formation, relying on Andrés Martins as a pivotal player in the final third, excelling in assists and shots. Juan Carlos Arana has also been an opportunistic threat, making the most of chances created. Meanwhile, Iñigo Vicente orchestrates their offensive actions with his keen reading of the match. The expectation is for a full-strength squad to be available for the upcoming clash.
Team analysis: Castellón
The visiting side currently stands in 15th position with 42 points, having recorded 11 wins, 9 draws, and 14 losses. Their second-to-last fixture ended in a 2-2 draw against FC Cartagena, and they drew 2-2 at home to Albacete in their most recent match. Their performances seem rather unaffected by the location, with similar results achieved both at home and away. Over the last 10 league fixtures, Castellón has managed just one victory, alongside 4 draws and 5 defeats, accumulating 7 points from a possible 30. Defensively, they have allowed the opposition to score in 8 of those matches, highlighting their fragile defensive capabilities, although their attack has remained active, scoring in 8 of 10 encounters. In 34 matches this season, they have never managed to turn around a scoreline in the 14 instances where they conceded the first goal.
Castellón has exhibited a competent attacking display despite their struggles, recently sharing the points with Albacete. Goals were secured by Nick Markanich and Israel Suero in that match. Playing in a 3-4-3 system, the team promotes a fluid and proactive attacking approach, with Alex Calatrava serving as a crucial player in creating quality opportunities down the right flank. The attacking trio of Israel Suero, Thomas Van den Belt, and Raúl Sánchez consistently pose threats, showcasing mobility and finishing ability that contribute to the team’s offensive efforts. However, left-back Jetro Willems will be suspended for the upcoming match.
