Next Sunday, two old friends meet again in El Arcángel who, a year later, are experiencing completely different situations. Córdoba and Castellón meet this time in the second divisionin The Archangel. On the one hand, the green and white team remains undefeated at home and receives the Orellut team, which consolidates itself as one of the best home teams. Without a doubt, a train wreck between two teams with an ambitious proposal. Two attacking styles, but they started the season very differently despite being both recently promoted from the First Federation.
Córdoba is day and night when playing at home or away at El Arcángel. In their stadium, in front of the green and white supporters, they have accumulated four wins and two draws in six matches. His streak of four consecutive victories is still active and he will put it to the test against a “special” team, as the Cordoba coach defined it. Ivan Anya. At home, Córdoba showed greater solidity that will help it counter the attacks of Castellón, who will not hide in the green and white stronghold and will try to take center stage in the duel with the ball .
For its part, Castellón consolidates itself as the third best visitor in the silver category with 12 points in its locker. Only surpassed by Racing de Santander (18) and Real Zaragoza (13), two teams who will fight for promotion by the end of the season. They have won four away games at Castalia, have not drawn a match and suffered only two defeats. More than surprising figures for a recently promoted team that is testing the reliability of El Arcángel, one of the most complicated stadiums to attack at the start of the championship.
Before you will be a Cordoba who has taken a completely opposite path. Very strong in his stadium, looking for a fifth consecutive victory, but the worst visitor in the category. Iván Ania’s painting has only reached one point out of the 18 contested (six games). It remains to add the postponed match against Almería, which the club wishes to play next Wednesday, November 27. Castellón is also not one of the strongest teams in Castalia, but they remain at the top of the table thanks to their good away results. Quite the opposite of Córdoba, which fails to be competitive against El Arcángel.
Furthermore, Castellón also has the merit of being the highest scoring team as a visitor in the second division, tied with 13 goals with another recently promoted team like Deportivo de La Coruña. And only eight goals conceded. On the other side of the coin, Cordoba, at home, has eleven goals scored and only four conceded. This match is a real test of strength: El Arcángel will try to be one more week a talisman because his team and Castellón will want to maintain their reputation as visitors to aspire to great things this season.
Face off against two recently promoted teams, who played a superb head-to-head last season in the First Federation for direct promotion. Despite winning both matches against Orellut’s team, Córdoba fell in the latter part of the season and missed opportunities to lead the standings. It came within three points del Castellón after overcoming a difference of 14. This year the two maintain the styles of last season and meet in El Arcángel, which already experienced a frenetic duel last season where the green and white team won 2- 0.
