Tenerife prepare to fight against Málaga in this La Liga 2 fixture. All you should learn about the game is located right here!

Insights:
  • Tenerife have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Málaga have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.

Málaga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both sides have had ample time to rest since their previous game. Let's have faith in that this will be an animated game!

Tenerife form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Tenerife's two home games in the La Liga 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez Lopéz.

Tenerife are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus UD Ibiza. Midfielder Sanz was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.33 (out of ten) in that game. Sanz had 40 successful passes (of 48 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Racing Santander in a game that was won 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tenerife have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 6 and lost 3.

Tenerife has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Málaga form and stats

Things could have gone better for Málaga in their La Liga 2 away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

There might be some fixture complaints from Málaga as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Huesca. Midfield player Febas was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.14/10. Febas hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 53 successful passes (of 62 total).

A 1-2 loss hosting Albacete before that.

Málaga are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

It's early days yet, but Málaga has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (3 games).

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Tenerife one win, five draws and Málaga four victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine games had two or less.
