Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Tenerife and Real Oviedo, the two old rivals, face each other at Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez in the closing match of the La Liga 2 round 1. Los Insulares did remarkably well to beat Villarreal B in their last friendly game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Oviedo. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while new signing Angel Rodriguez is likely to make his Tenerife debut.
The visitors, on the other hand, will rely on experienced attacker Borja Baston and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Keep in mind, though, that both Alex Millan and Rodrigo Tarin are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting in the Spanish second tier the two sides played out a goalless draw.
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.
