Castilla in the middle of a relegation battle

On Saturday evening, Real Madrid Castilla a crucial game in the relegation battle of the Primera Federación. Coach Raúl González’s team will host seventh-placed UD Mérida at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano at 9:30 p.m

After 14 matchdays, Castilla are in 13th place with just 18 points – the third of five direct relegation places. The pressure grows the further away the competition gets. Mérida has 19 points and is in seventh place, safely in the middle of the table. A win is essential for Castilla to close the gap to the non-relegation places and stop their downward spiral, having recently picked up just one point from two games.

The previous encounters have all ended closely: in September 2023, Castilla won 1-0 in Mérida, while Mérida turned the tables in February 2024 and also triumphed 1-0 in Madrid. So a duel on equal terms?

At least: Raúl Asencio’s recent appearances in the first team show the Canteranos that a jump to the top is possible. This could be an additional incentive to prove yourself on the pitch on Saturday. Especially in a difficult season like this, in which Real Madrid’s professionals are struggling with many injuries, looking into the second row is more important than ever.

For Castilla, only a win counts in order to land the much-needed liberation blow and be able to keep up. The game will be broadcast on Realmadrid TV and we from REAL TOTALS are live on site and provide you with all the important impressions.
