Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Tenerife will look to recover from the Copa del Rey loss to Mallorca when they face Sporting Gijon in the La Liga 2 round 23. Los Insulares failed to win the previous three league fixtures, but it is well know that they are capable of producing excellent displays in front of home fans. Both Yann Bodiger and Aitor Sanz are banned for the match, while Waldo Rubio and Javi Alonso continue to miss out with injuries.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth, but beating Tenerife on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Pablo Insua, Axel Bamba, and Giovanni Zarfino are sidelined through injuries, speaking of the visiting team. Under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous seven meetings between the two sides in La Liga 2.
Highlighted Team (Tenerife):
Tenerife is a Spanish club based in the Canary Islands. Tenerife were founded on November 21, 1912, with the team playing home games at Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez. The stadium was opened on July 25, 1925 and it can hold up to 22,824 spectators.
Los Insulares established them as the elite division club in the 1990s, but in 1999 the team suffer relegation to La Liga 2. Tenerife played in la liga two seasons more (2001/02, 2009/10), but they have been competing in lower leagues ever since. Los Insulares wear white and blue shirts when playing at home, whereas light green is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Tenerife participated in the UEFA Cup in the 1993/94 season, with the team eliminating the likes of Auxerre and Olympiakos before losing to Juventus in the last 16. Three years later the Spanish club did remarkably well to make it to the UEFA Cup semis. Las Palmas are considered Tenerife’s main rivals.
