Prediction: 2-1
Tenerife
Buoyed by a thrilling 4-0 win over Alcorcon, Almeria will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they welcome Tenerife at their Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos on Matchday 7. The Andalusians missed out on automatic promotion last season, and, no doubt, they are desperate to secure a top-two finish this time out. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Umar Sadiq, who scored a brace in the crushing of Alcorcon.
Los Insulares, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Mirandes. Tenerife are not regarded as good travelers, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts. USA international Shaquell Moore could be handed his first start for Tenerife, with Jeremy Mellot likely to drop to the bench.
