Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Following a hard-fought Copa del Rey win over Alfaro, Tenerife will look to return to winning ways in La Liga 2 when they face Mirandes on Sunday. Los Insulares made a slow start to the season and, as a result, they are sitting in the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Mirandes. David Rodriguez should keep his place in the starting XI following a fine performance in the midweek triumph, while Jose Amo remains on the sidelines with injury.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, have been struggling on the road of late, losing to Oviedo (1-4) in Segunda Division, while suffering a shocking elimination to Sant Andreu in Copa del Rey. As Tenerife are desperate to escape the relegation zone, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Alessio Lisci should have a full squad to choose from.
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.
