Almería form and stats

Almería have collected 8 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 2-2-1. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Almería has won their last four matches.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Mirandes.

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 18 games) they have won eight times, drawn six and lost four.

The manager J. Martins Teixeira Gomes will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Real Oviedo in only four days.

Almería has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. From these home matches, Almería have conceded only 3 goals.

Tenerife form and stats

There's been little loot from Tenerife's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the La Liga 2. Tenerife only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.

Tenerife are looking to quickly end their 255 minutes long goal drought in the La Liga 2.

The manager F. Fernández Díaz was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga 2 match played at their home ground Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez Lopéz. Tenerife suffered a 0-1 loss to UD Logroñés (placed 7th). Prior to that match, the Tenerife manager F. Fernández Díaz faced defeat when travelling to Las Palmas and losing 0-1.

We have checked recent matches where Tenerife have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were one victory, three draws and seven defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The La Liga 2 trip to Albacete.

Tenerife are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. As opposed to that, Tenerife have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Almería three wins, three draws and Tenerife four victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
