Eibar vs Castellon Prediction & Betting Tips (12 October)

Eibar hosts Castellón on October 12, 2025, in a LaLiga2 clash that pits a struggling side against a high-flying contender. Both teams bring contrasting form and ambitions into this matchup, setting the stage for a tense afternoon at Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

Eibar, currently languishing in 18th place, has endured a rocky start to the season. Their recent outings have been a mixed bag, with a goalless draw against Pau and a narrow loss to Real Sociedad B highlighting their offensive struggles. Jon Bautista remains their standout performer, having netted 11 goals and contributed 4 assists so far. Coach Joseba Etxeberria is under pressure to turn things around, especially with the team’s defensive frailties—conceding 40 goals last season—still haunting them.

Castellón, on the other hand, sits comfortably in 4th place and has shown flashes of brilliance in recent fixtures. Despite a 2-1 loss to Alavés in late July, they bounced back with a dominant 6-0 win over QPR and a solid 2-1 victory against Valencia. Midfielder Raúl Sánchez has been instrumental, leading the team with 12 goals and 3 assists. Under the guidance of coach Dick Schreuder, Castellón has developed a balanced approach, combining sharp attacking transitions with disciplined defensive structure.

While Castellón enters the match as favorites, Eibar’s home advantage and Bautista’s clinical edge could tilt the balance. Expect a tightly contested affair with moments of individual brilliance. Our prediction leans toward a narrow 2-1 victory for Eibar—an outcome that could spark a much-needed revival and shake up the upper tier of the standings.
