The Zaragoza vs Castellon prediction for January 25, 2026, is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing fixtures in the Segunda División calendar. With Castellón flying high in 2nd place and Zaragoza battling for survival in 21st, there’s much more than three points at stake at La Romareda. Let’s take a closer look at the teams, their tactics, recent form, and what our AI-powered betting insights recommend for this highly anticipated encounter.
On paper, this looks like a classic David vs Goliath—if David had a recent injury list and a manager in transition. Castellón have been nothing short of impressive, going unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 matches and averaging 1.8 goals per game while conceding just 0.8. Their consistency and discipline have propelled them to the top end of the table, and they arrive in Zaragoza with a spring in their step.
Zaragoza, meanwhile, are in a fight for their Segunda División lives. They’ve managed just one win in their last six and have only two victories from their last twelve home games. However, their recent 3-2 win over Racing Santander has injected some much-needed optimism into the camp. Historically, the head to head record also favors Castellón, who are unbeaten in six of their last seven meetings with Zaragoza. Their last five encounters have looked like this:
If you’re looking for a Zaragoza vs Castellon prediction based on recent history, the scales tip towards the visitors.
Expect Zaragoza to set up in a 4-2-3-1, aiming to control the midfield and feed their forwards. But injuries and suspensions are biting hard: Radovanovic (sternum fracture), Aguirregabiria (muscle injury), Marcos Cuenca (physical discomfort), Paulino (knee), and Dani Gómez (suspended) all miss out. New signing Aguirregabiria is a bright spot, but the squad depth will be tested.
Castellón, likely to deploy a 4-4-2, will look for width and direct attacks, utilizing their solid defensive base and quick transitions. Their predicted lineup is stable, with no major injury concerns reported. With a squad value of €17.5m compared to Zaragoza’s €21.75m, Castellón are proving that balance and form can outweigh sheer market value.
Let’s get to the heart of the Zaragoza vs Castellon prediction: the betting markets. The current odds stand at 3.8 for a home win, 3.5 for a draw, and just 2.0 for an away win—which shows clear market confidence in Castellón. Our NerdyTips AI gives the best tip as X2 (Castellón win or draw) at 1.29 odds, with a confidence rating of 5.5/10. For the 1x2 market, the AI likes the away win (2) at 2.0 odds and a trust level of 4.6. The under 3.5 goals market also offers value at 1.29.5 odds, given both teams’ defensive tendencies.
The AI expects a 1:2 final score, with Castellón likely to edge the first half 0:1. Expect both sides to have four shots on target, but Castellón’s sharper attack should make the difference. Corners are expected to be 4 for Zaragoza and 6 for Castellón, reflecting the away side’s attacking intent.
While Zaragoza have home advantage and a recent morale-boosting win, Castellón’s form, head to head dominance, and tactical stability make them the smart pick. With injuries and suspensions hampering the hosts, the best betting tip is to back Castellón to win or draw (X2), with an away win also offering solid value. Under 3.5 total goals is a sensible addition for those looking to build a bet slip.
For those searching for a reliable Zaragoza vs Castellon prediction, our advice is clear: trust the stats, trust the form, and keep an eye on Castellón’s march towards promotion.
