Tenerife form and stats

In the previous season, Tenerife's league stats were 13 wins, 13 draws and 16 losses, ending with 13th spot in the La Liga 2. During these 42 matches they scored 36 goals and let in 36. Appearing at their own stadium in the last season Tenerife delivered 9-7-5 (win-draw-lost) with 24 goals and 14 conceded.

Tenerife are returning here after visiting Fuenlabrada in a La Liga 2 game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Álex Bermejo Escribano and Álex Corredera scored the goal(s). Jeremy Mellot, defender, was given a rating of 7.04/10 in that game, top of the team. Mellot won 4 of 8 duels. The victory against Fuenlabrada came after Álex Corredera's winning goal. The Tenerife manager L. Ramis Monfort was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 78th minute. A late climax in the match against Fuenlabrada as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Álex Corredera.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Real Oviedo.

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 ten matches with the results: Won five, drawn three and lost two.
