Season ticket holders at Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Numancia languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Tenerife will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Numancia are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Tenerife is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Tenerife's previous game was their home loss versus Lugo (1-2). Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Alcorcón.

Tenerife were so close to getting something from the game against Lugo, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.
