Tenerife vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting Tips (25 September)

Tenerife saw their friend Las Palmas promoted to the first division last season and will therefore no longer play a derby this season in Liga2. A source of motivation for the residents of the Canary Islands who have had a pretty monstrous start to the season with a very good fourth place at the start of this day with only four lengths behind the leader, Zaragoza.

Since the start of the season, the locals have already had four wins and only two defeats, the most recent being last weekend at Sporting Gijon 2-1.

The captain, Aitor Sanz (37 appearances last season) is stuck in the infirmary (injured) and could be missing for this shock. He will probably be accompanied by the Montenegrin international Sipsic (30 matches played last season in D2) or even Javi Alonso (sporadic within the rotation). Well known to the people of Toulouse, Yann Bodiger signed this summer from Granada but does not seem to play a major role in the group. Loaned by Real Sociedad for the season, striker Roberto Lopez has already scored 3 goals this season without forgetting to mention the good start to the season from Enric Gallego (2 goals, 1 assist) who scored 11 goals last year in D2. On the other hand, let's remember that crucial elements from last year such as Sergi Darder (essential starter) then the 3rd top scorer in La Liga last season, Joselu (16 goals) left the Catalan ship following the relegation of club.

Note that Brian Olivan (7 assists in 30 matches played last year in the elite) was uncertain during the previous day but was ultimately in the game (30 minutes on the field). Forced his departure at the end of the transfer window, Danish international Martin Braithwaite (10 goals last year) finally stayed and scored 2 goals in the space of 4 appearances this season. Note the possible presence of the Albanian international, Keidi Bare (18 appearances in La Liga last year) or that of the man in form at the start of the season with the Catalans, Javi Puedo (7 pawns, 2 cakes per last year at the club) author of 4 goals in four appearances and riding an ultra-positive wave of two doubles in two championship matches.
