Estadio Municipal de Butarque stages one of the most intriguing fixtures of Segunda División Regular Season 7 on Monday, as eighth-placed Leganes take on the unbeaten table-toppers Castellón at 18:30 UTC.
Leganes sit eighth in a 22-team table with 11 points from six matches — a record of three wins, two draws and one defeat, with a goals tally of 6-5. They are placed in the top third of the table and arrive into this match having taken 10 points from their last five fixtures, a run that includes a 3-2 home win over Granada CF most recently.
Castellón occupy first position with 16 points from six matches — five wins and a draw, no defeats — and a goals record of 12-2. They are in the top two of the table and carry a current run of four consecutive wins into Monday's match. Across their last five fixtures they have gathered 13 points, a sequence that features a commanding 5-0 home win over Tenerife in their most recent outing.
The five-point gap between the two sides at this early stage of the season reflects the contrast in their respective starts. Castellón's goals-against figure of just two from six matches stands alongside Leganes' 6-5 record for a further point of comparison.
Head-to-head history from the two most recent meetings favours the visitors. Castellón won 1-0 at Leganes on 29 September 2025, then followed that with a 2-0 victory on 16 January 2026. Leganes will be looking to produce a different outcome on home soil this time around.
Kick-off is at 18:30 UTC on Monday, 28 September 2026, at Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
