Prediction: 2-1
Alcorcon
Tenerife will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Leganes when they take on Alcorcon on Sunday evening. Los Insulares have been having their ups and downs in the 2020/21 season, with the team sitting in the 14th position in the standings. Tenerife aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, but the game against the relegation-threatened visitors will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team.
You should bear in mind that Tenerife are eyeing their seventh home win of the season. Alcorcon, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late. The visitors head into the match following back-to-back wins over Logrones and Zaragoza, but seeing that Tenerife are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on the islanders. In their last home game in La Liga 2 Tenerife defeated Ponferradina 1-0.
