Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Huesca will look to build on a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad B when they take on Tenerife at their Estadio El Alcoraz on Matchday 8. Huesca regained a much-needed confidence at the weekend, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure promotion to Primera Division. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Isidro Pitta, who scored a brace in the triumph over La Real B at the weekend.
Los Insulares, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back losses to Mirandes and Almeria. Tenerife do not seem to be at their sharpest, and seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts this time out. In their last meeting at the venue Huesca defeated Tenerife 2-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
