Struggling Tenerife will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Almeria in the upcoming league round. It's 16th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
It's quite the trip for Almería when visiting Tenerife as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
Tenerife form and stats
Tenerife's struggle is real here at Heliodoro Rodríguez López with only 7 points collected from 8 La Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-3. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Tenerife fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Numancia game long ago, can be stopped today.
Happy days for Tenerife in their previous game, a La Liga 2 match away at Sporting Gijón (placed 17th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Cádiz.
Tenerife goalkeeper Adrián Ortolá did an outstanding job against Sporting Gijón with 6 saves, so vital to securing the victory.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Tenerife have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 6 Lost 2.
Tenerife has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Almería form and stats
As the visiting team in La Liga 2 matches, Almería have produced an overall stat of 2-6-1 so far. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Almería when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the Sporting Gijón match has the points been distributed unevenly.
Almería won their last game, 2-0 versus Numancia played at home. Before that, Almería travelled to Elche and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Almería playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were 5 Almería wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
