Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez will host Sunday’s football game between Tenerife and Real Valladolid. Los Insulares are stuck in the middle of the table, but, no doubt, they want to retain 12th place in the standings. Both Jeremy Mellot and Juan Soriano are back from suspension, while both Fernando Medrano and Waldo Rubio are major doubts. La Pucela, on the other hand, secured automatic promotion thanks to a 3-2 win over Villarreal B.
As Valladolid boss Paulo Pezzolano is expected to rest key players in Sunday’s showdown, we are tempted to place our bets on the hosts. To make things even worse for the away team, goalkeeper Andre Ferreira is banned for the match following his sending-off against the Yellow Submarine. All Rosa, Juric, Biuk, Sanchez, and Bayomo are pushing for a start, speaking of the visiting team. Pezzolano is likely to stick to the 4-3-3 formation.
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.
