Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Castellon will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Racing Santander when they take on Tenerife in the La Liga 2 round 7. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for Castellon, but one thing is for sure, they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Jesus de Miguel, who scored a brace in a 5-2 crushing of Almeria and the 28-year-old forward is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Both Albert Lottin and Kenneth Mamah are rated doubtful for the hosts.
Los Insulares, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season and seeing that they have yet to record a triumph in the new Segunda Division campaign, home win should be considered. Mali international Youssouf Diarra is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Sporting Gijon at the weekend.
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.
