Castellón host Sabadell, Hernández could stick with same XI | OneFootball

CD Castellón host CE Sabadell at SkyFi Castalia on Sunday at 19:00, seeking successive wins after a 1-0 opening-day victory at Real Sociedad B.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, Pablo Hernández could stick with the same starting XI that impressed last week. Nine players remain from last season, with debutants Juanjo Nieto and Álvaro Martín featuring.

Centre-backs Ilias Kostis, not yet up to speed, and long-term absentee Fabrizio Brignani are out, so Alberto Jiménez and Agustín Sienra are expected to partner again. Diego Barri should join Álvaro Martín in midfield, with Raúl Sánchez, Adam Jakobsen and Ousmane Camara leading the attack.

Sabadell returned to LaLiga Hypermotion with a 0-0 draw at Sporting Gijón and now chase their first win to bolster survival hopes. They have climbed with back-to-back promotions from Segunda Federación to Segunda División and missed a penalty in Gijón.

Ferran Costa’s side are on the road again while Nova Creu Alta undergoes work to meet league requirements. Their home bow is due next week against Almería, and Costa, 31, continues his one-match-at-a-time approach.

Probable line-ups. CD Castellón: Matthys, Mellot, Juanjo Nieto, Alberto Jiménez, Sienra, Barri, Álvaro Martín, Pablo Santiago, Jakobsen, Raúl Sánchez, Camara. CE Sabadell: Fuoli, Ton Ripoll, Catalá, Bonaldo, Edgar, Miki Codina, Urri, Pere Pons, Quadri, Joel Priego, Rahmani.

Referee is Marta Huerta de Aza from the Tenerife committee.
