Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Albacete, Eibar will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Tenerife on Matchday 5. Los Armeros have a chance to climb to the automatic promotion berth and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Barring any fresh injury worries, boss Joseba Etxeberria is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated el Queso Mecanico before the international break.
Los Insulares, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season. Considering that Tenerife have collected only one point in total from possible 12, we are tempted to bet on the in-form Basques this time out. In their last meeting at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua Eibar recorded a routine 3-0 win over Tenerife. Both Jose Amo and Fernando Medrano are injured for the visiting side, while fellow defender Sergio Gonzalez remains doubtful.
