Tenerife form and stats

4-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga 2 numbers at home for Tenerife so far this season. When Tenerife hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like FC Andorra, Levante, Granada, Las Palmas, FC Cartagena and Burgos), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Tenerife's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Real Oviedo (placed 14th). la Torre (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.0/10. Torre hit three key passes and had 89 successful passes (of 101 total).

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Las Palmas.

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 10 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this club's last 11 league games, 9 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

The manager Monfort will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Villarreal II in only three days.

Tenerife are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. Tenerife have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
