This match stars two participants dwelling in the lower section of the La Liga 2, Tenerife at 16th place and Ponferradina lying 18th. A decent chance for one of the sides to improve their situation.

Insights:
  • Tenerife have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Ponferradina have the most conceded goals in the first half (19) in La Liga 2

These teams have little in common geographically as Ponferradina have to travel 2200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

An away draw last time out for Tenerife, facing Malaga in a game that ended 1-1.
