Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Thursday’s football game between Ibiza and Tenerife will bring down the curtain on day 14 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. Ibiza have been in a fine form of late. Following a 1-1 draw with Real Valladolid, the newcomers defeated both Fuenlabrada and Alcorcon in the previous two league fixtures, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Sergio Castel should continue to lead the line for the hosts after finding the net in the triumph over Alcorcon at the weekend.
Los Insulares, on the other hand, did well to crush Burgos at home in their last league match. Considering that Tenerife have been scoring goals for fun of late as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The two teams have never met before in a competitive match.

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.
