Castellon vs Cornella tips and predictions

Castellon huge price to see off Cornella

With 5 points between them, it's 12th placed Castellon versus 16th placed Cornella in this Primera RFEF clash.

The home win probably hasn't worried too many sportsbooks but the short price favourites are just too short.

Castellon can look at some of the reverses in Cornella's recent results. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 11 losses from their last 13 away matches. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite.

So they cannot be complacent.

If they have any chance to avoid defeat Castellon must extract confidence from somewhere. Looking primed for battle, the home side has been pleased with their numbers in defence as they have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 8 home games. While the hosts have looked secure at the back, the away side has been plundering goals lately. On the road Cornella have conceded two or more goals in 10 of their last 13 campaigns. And at certain times the visitors haven't produced their best stuff recently. They've been goalless in 9 of their last 13 away matches.

Castellon have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between these sides.

Cornella are obviously legitimate favourites but they are simply too short. All football matches come down to which set of players maintains composure under pressure. There could be some evidence that the gap between the two sides isn't as wide as you think. Half a chance is sometimes all it takes. Castellon are the value play.

Cornella will be keen to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. The Both Teams To Score market doesn't offer much in this fixture. But the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.
