Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Tenerife will be desperate to register their first win of the season when they face Cartagena at their Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez. In previous campaigns, Los Insulares have been formidable at home, and they’ll be eager to recapture that form. Despite a slow start to the season, Tenerife will have a strong squad available, with defender Jose Amo being their only absentee.
Cartagena, meanwhile, have also struggled in the first half of the season. Los Blanquinegros have yet to find their rhythm, and with midfielder Damian Musto suspended for this match, they could face difficulties in the middle of the park. Cartagena’s lack of momentum, coupled with Tenerife’s determination to claim their first victory, gives the hosts a clear advantage. Given Tenerife’s need for a win, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty.
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.
