Competition: Spain La Liga 2
Date: Thu 19.September
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero (36017 seats)

The Elche manager Pacheta attacks this game with the team placed 8th so far. In the visitors dressing room Tenerife and their manager López Garai are in 11th place before this match.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Tenerife have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Elche form and stats

Elche have less points than they have played home games in the La Liga 2 so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.

Elche are returning here after visiting Real Oviedo in a La Liga 2 game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Lugo.

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 Elche have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Elche as they are travelling to their away game against Numancia in the La Liga 2. That match is three days after this one.

At Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, Elche has the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Tenerife form and stats

Things could have gone better for Tenerife in their La Liga 2 away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Tenerife play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting Albacete (placed 15th). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Las Palmas.

Tenerife are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of ten matches.

A new game in only three days for Tenerife, the La Liga 2 home match versus Fuenlabrada. Busy days.

Tenerife have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. The Tenerife manager López Garai has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Elche won 4, Tenerife won 4 and 2 draws. 5 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.
