Copa Del Rey brings Castellonense up against Almería in a game where the two teams come from different league levels, but their form going in is clearly different. Almería are unbeaten in 5 straight matches in La Liga 2, while Castellonense closed their last match with a 2-0 win in Segunda Division RFEF. Castellonense in their own league have won 5 of 7 matches, scoring 12 and conceding 6; they are not a team that attacks relentlessly but they close games out tightly. Meanwhile Almería have won 8 of 11 matches in their own competition and have scored 22 goals; they are the side that can pressure opponents more consistently, but a cup game against a lower-ranked team does not automatically mean they will blow them away every time. This game will likely see Almería dominate possession and push high, while Castellonense are organized defensively and wait to counter. After kickoff, the first thing to watch is how well Castellonense handle Almería's attacking moments early in the game. If they can keep the door shut for a long spell, the game will become more and more of a grind.
