Prediction: 3-1
Alcorcon
After suffering a 1-0 loss at Malaga, Tenerife will look to move closer to automatic promotion places when they host Alcorcon to their Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez on Matchday 17. Los Insulares produce much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground. Even though defender Nikola Sipcic suffered an injury in the last league match, home win should be considered as Alcorcon are stuck at the bottom of the table.
The rock-bottom side have collected only eight points in total in the new La Liga2 campaign, and given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. Uruguay midfielder Jorge Zarfino should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in the loss to los Armeros.
