vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Castellonense are second in Group 3 of Segunda División RFEF with 3 points after a single round, won 2-1 against Ucam Murcia on 5 September. Before that win, in last season's Tercera División (Group 6), the run of results had been mixed: a 0-1 home defeat to Atzeneta, before that a 4-1 away win at Hércules II, before that a 1-1 home draw with Saguntino, further back a 2-3 home defeat to Ontinyent 1931 and, even further back, a 0-3 away defeat to Villarreal III. Cieza are eighth in the same group with 1 point, a 1-1 away draw at Alcoyano on 5 September. In pre-season friendlies they had won the two matches before that, 2-1 away at Santomera and 1-0 away at Orihuela, after a 1-4 defeat to Real Murcia; further back, in last season's Tercera División (Group 13), they had won 6-1 away at Muleño and 3-1 at home against Bala Azul. There is no recorded head-to-head history between the two sides. The competition average is 2.10 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
