This match features two teams living in the basement of the La Liga 2, Sporting Gijon holding 16th place and Tenerife lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Tenerife when visiting Sporting Gijón as the cities are 2200 kilometers apart.
