Mérida vs. Castilla: tough away trip for our reserve team
2 hour(s)
Real Madrid Castilla face a tough test this afternoon against Mérida at the Estadio Romano José Fouto (4pm CEST). Raúl's men will be seeking a win that will allow them to continue to close the gap on the promotion playoff places, a spot which our opponents currently occupy. Mérida are fifth in the table with 53 points, while Castilla are eighth with 49.
The most recent encounter between the two sides invites optimism: in the reverse fixture played at the Di Stéfano, the Madridistas secured a thumping 6-0 victory. Gonzalo, top scorer in the category, scored four goals that day. This season, he has already scored 24 goals after scoring again last time out in the 3-2 win over Marbella.
Our reserve team, who have only lost one game so far in 2025, are looking for three important points on the road in a matchday in which there are also several direct clashes at the top of the table.
“I'm going to give my best and I'll keep working to see if I can get more games,” said the academy product.
