Will CD Castellón make it third time lucky on opening day? | OneFootball

CD Castellón start another season aiming to end a nagging opening-day trend. According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the albinegros face a third straight first fixture away from Castalia, again heading north to San Sebastián.

The sequence began after promotion with a 1-0 defeat at Eibar, Jon Bautista scoring in minute two. Castellón created enough to level but left with nothing.

12 months later the pattern held at El Sardinero, where Racing de Santander won 3-1. Asier Villalibre struck in minute six, Andrés Martín doubled the lead in minute 36, Camara pulled one back on 45 and Martín converted a penalty in minute 84.

This summer brings a third chance, this time against Real Sociedad B in San Sebastián. If Eibar and Racing carried serious weight, on paper Castellón will be favourites.
