Almería form and stats
Perfect La Liga 2 season at home so far for Almería 2 wins from 2 appearances.
Happy days for Almería in their previous game, a La Liga 2 match away at Alcorcon (placed 22nd) that ended with a 4-0 victory. As mentioned above, Almería "killed" Alcorcon in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. The striker Umar Sadiq bested all others in that game and got a match rating of 8.32 out of 10. Sadiq scored two goals, hit the woodwork two (!) times and hit two key passes.
Prior to that, an away loss at Ponferradina.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Almería have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won seven times, drawn five and lost three.
Early season league goal statistics from Almería's 2 home games: 4 goals, 1 conceded.
Tenerife form and stats
Tenerife, who have the most points (7) away in La Liga 2, are happy with their away performances in the La Liga 2 so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.
Tenerife might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Mirandes proved too strong as Tenerife slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez Lopéz. Late heartbreak for Tenerife in the Mirandes match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Míchel Herrero got a match rating of 8.33 in that game, top player of the team. Herrero scored one goal, hit three key passes and had 71 successful passes (of 80 total).
Preceding that game was the away victory against Real Valladolid with the score of 2-0.We have checked recent matches where Tenerife have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were two victories, one draw and three defeats.
Tenerife have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. The Tenerife defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the prior ten meetings between these two squads are: five wins for Almería, two draws and three wins for Tenerife. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
