CE Sabadell Meets Castilla in Promotion Playoff Friday

CE Sabadell will host Real Madrid Castilla on Friday at 21:00 in the first leg of the promotion playoff to LaLiga Hypermotion. The match decides the first of two encounters that will determine the final promotion place.

Sabadell enters the fixture with morale soaring after a positive result at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. The club hopes to replicate that performance in the playoff.

Castilla arrives after a chaotic previous round in which the Juez de Competiciones No Profesionales intervened. The judge resolved a three‑way tie on 58 points that determined the fifth and final qualifying slot.

The tie‑breaker awarded the slot to Castilla, allowing them to contest the promotion playoff. Coach López de Lerma’s side seeks to reverse a recent slump.

Castilla has failed to win in the last three league matches. The lack of victories has left the team eager to improve its form.

Both clubs will aim to secure an advantage before the second leg. The outcome of Friday’s game will shape the final promotion battle.
