This could be an interesting match as Tenerife have their presumed home advantage while Real Zaragoza are ahead 8 points in the La Liga 2 table.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a La Liga 2 game only three days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Real Zaragoza have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Real Zaragoza are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Tenerife form and stats

Tenerife have collected 29 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 7-8-4. The Tenerife fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez Lopéz and will expect new points from this game. Tenerife has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.

Tenerife enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Almería's place. The match ended 2-1 with Luis Milla and Álex Bermejo Escribano scoring. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Deportivo La Coruna.

The victory against Almería came after Álex Bermejo Escribano's winning goal. The Tenerife manager R. Baraja Vegas was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 85th minute. A late climax in the match against Almería as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by Álex Bermejo Escribano.

Real Zaragoza form and stats

Playing away, Real Zaragoza have won 9 games, drawn 6 and suffered 4 defeats in the La Liga 2 this season. Recent form does not give Zaragoza much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Tenerife will be a tough nut to crack.

The manager V. Fernández Braulio was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga 2 match played at their home ground Estadio de la Romareda. Real Zaragoza suffered a 2-4 loss to Rayo Vallecano (placed 7th). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Girona's place.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Rayo Vallecano was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Zaragoza playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Real Zaragoza wins, three draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Real Zaragoza are hosting Real Oviedo in the La Liga 2 only three days away.
