Tenerife will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 9 points behind Espanyol.
It's no vacation for neither Tenerife nor Espanyol as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Espanyol have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Tenerife form and stats
Tenerife have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the La Liga 2. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Tenerife are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Ponferradina. 1-1 away at Sporting Gijon before that.
Adrián Ortolá had a busy but productive day in the Ponferradina match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Suso for missing a penalty kick versus Ponferradina in the 63rd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Tenerife as they have a new game in only four days, a La Liga 2 match thankfully also at home. Lugo are visiting.
The Tenerife fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Tenerife are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Espanyol form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the La Liga 2 away games so far for Espanyol, who have the most clean sheets (6) in La Liga 2, with six points collected from three matches.
Impressive finishing from Javi Puado and Fran Mérida secured the home win 2-0 against Mirandes in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rayo Vallecano wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ponferradina in just three days.
Espanyol find the net regularly in their away games. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Espanyol's manager V. Moreno Peris has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
