REF’s picks

CD Castellón enter this match in sensational form at the summit of the table and look well-equipped to claim all three points at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque. Leganés have shown defensive solidity at home, but Castellón's relentless attack has swept aside most opponents in LaLiga 2 so far. We are backing the visitors to outscore their hosts despite missing a few squad players.

1. 1Castellón sit top of the standings with an impressive string of victories, including a 5-0 thrashing of Tenerife.
2. 2Leganés have kept things tight in recent weeks but will miss key personnel like Enric Franquesa and Ismaël Gharbi.
3. 3Castellón's away momentum could stall if Leganés manage to lock down the midfield and frustrate their rhythm early on.
