Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Elche play host to Tenerife at their Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in the closing match of Saturday’s program in the La Liga 2 round 13. Los Franjiverdes aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Huesca and a triumph over Tenerife could see them climb to top ten in the standings. John Donald Chetauya continues to miss out with a broken leg, while forward Sergio Leon faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.
Los Insulares, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches. Tenerife, though, produce much better showings at home than on the travels and, taking everything into account, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. The likes of Fernando Medrano, Jose Leon, Luismi Cruz, and Nikola Sipcic are out of contention with injuries, while Tenerife midfielder Javi Alonso is a major doubt.
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.
