Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez will be the centre of attention when Tenerife and Almeria lock horns in the Segunda Division round 2. Los Insulares aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Eldense and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Andalusians. Summer signing Maikel Mesa should keep his place in the starting eleven after opening his goal-scoring account against Eldense, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Almeria, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Racing Santander in the opening match of their La Liga 2 campaign and yet another close encounter is on the cards. Taking everything into account, we believe that both teams should be happy with one point from Saturday’s showdown. Rubi is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Luis Suarez up front as a lone centre-forward.
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.
