Venue: Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos (15000 seats)

4th position in the La Liga 2 table for Almería so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed Tenerife visits Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos.

It's no vacation for neither Almería nor Tenerife as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Tenerife have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Almería are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Tenerife are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
