Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Tenerife will look to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Cordoba when they take on Deportivo La Coruna on Matchday 19. Los Insulares are stuck at the bottom with only 11 points on their account, but Sunday’s clash could be the turning point for the home team. Jeremy Mellot is back from suspension, while Fernando Medrano faces race against the clock to be fit for the match. Head coach Pepe Mel should stick to the 4-4-2 formation, with Mesa and Rodriguez up front.
The Galicians, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous three Segunda Division games. As Deportivo have been producing fine performances on the road of late, beating Cadiz 4-2 in Andalusia, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. Bear in mind, though, that important attacker Lucas Perez, who played for Arsenal in the past, misses out through suspension.
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.
