Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Tenerife will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Real Oviedo and Albacete when they take on Elche in the La Liga 2 round 17. Los Insulares are stuck in the relegation zone and, no doubt, they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to escape bottom four. Defender Jose Amo misses out with an ACL injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, rolled over Oviedo 4-0 to move closer to the playoffs berth. As Tenerife suffered a dip in form, we predict that the promotion-chasing visitors are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. Speaking of the away team, Bambo Diaby is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league fixture. Oscar Plano remains in the recovery room for the away team, while Carlos Clerc is a major doubt.
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.
