Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Tenerife and Real Oviedo take on each other at Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez in a postponed La Liga 2 fixture. Following back-to-back defeats to Burgos and Huesca, los Insulares were beaten by Las Palmas in their last league match, with the team remaining in the bottom half of the table. England midfielder Samuel Shashoua played some part at the weekend following a three-month absence, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Azules, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Granada and Mirandes, while sharing the spoils with Ponferradina. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on draw as Tenerife are tough to beat at home. Both Miguelon and Angel Montoro remain on the sidelines with injuries, while fit-again defender Carlos Pomares is pushing for a start.

Sergi Enrich is a product of Mallorca’s youth academy. The 181-cm-tall striker was born in Ciutadella, Spain on 26 February, 1990 and he began his senior career at Mallorca. Enrich played 83 league games for Mallorca B, while making 6 appearances for the first team between 2010 and 2013.

The Spanish attacker made 35 appearances for los Ameros in the 2015/2016 season, scoring seven goals in the process. Sergi Enrich’s market value was €4 million in July, 2016 and it has to be noted that his contract with Eibar expires on 30 June, 2018. His maternal family name is Ametller.

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.
