Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Monday’s football game between Eldense and Tenerife will close round 1 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. Eldense did well to beat Villarreal B in their last warm-up game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against los Insulares. There are no injury worries in the home team, while experienced midfielder should make his official Eldense debut against Tenerife.
Asier Garitano’s men, on the other hand, are a team with two faces. As los Insulares generally struggle on the travels, we do not believe that they are capable of picking up more than one point from the season opener. In their last meeting in Segunda Division Tenerife defeated Eldense 1-0 and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon. A man to watch in the visiting team will be summer signing Maikel Mesa, who joined the club for Zaragoza earlier this summer.
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.
