Tenerife vs Eldense Prediction & Betting Tips (19 February)

Tenerife seemed capable of competing for the top 6 and participating in the playoffs for accession to La Liga but given its level in recent weeks, it is far from that. Indeed, the residents of the Canary Islands have not won for seven matches in the league for a record of four defeats and therefore, three draws. Last weekend, on the pitch of the Villarreal Villarreal B reserve, they did not even manage to worry the opposing defense 1-0. In its last six matches in all competitions, Tenerife has only scored once and was eliminated in the 1/8 finals of the Copa del Rey in extra time against Mallorca 0-1. Worse still, at home, the locals have not won in four matches including the Copa del Rey and remain in a goalless draw against FC Andorra of Gérard Piqué 0-0.

Having just been promoted to D2, Eldense is not does not expect to move the hierarchy in the championship and a place in the middle of the table and above all its maintenance remains its main objective over a season of 42 matches. After 26 days, the promoted team occupies 13th place in D2 with 7 lengths ahead of the first-relegation team, Alcorcon at the start of this day. Unlike their evening opponent, we can say that the visitors have shown character for several weeks and have remained undefeated for eight days but only two victories against Amorebieta 0-2 and for the coming of Espanyol Barcelona 3-2. Last weekend, the residents of Pepico Amat recorded a second draw in a row against Huesca 0-0 after that at Real Oviedo 1-1.

Arriving free from Mallorca last summer, Angel Rodriguez (7 goals this season) will not occupy his number 9 position this evening (suspended). Real loss for Tenerife since he is the best element in front of the cages within the squad. Note that replacement Luismi (1 goal in 17 league appearances) will be suspended for accumulation of yellow cards. For the rest, the group should be complete and competitive with in particular Enric Gallego (4 goals in the league), Roberto Lopez (5 goals, 2 assists) without forgetting the Habs, Mellot (holder). Excluded against Real Oviedo, starting central defender Dumic could make his return to competition this evening.

Note, however, the possible absence of striker Florin Andone (3 goals, 1 assist in the league) and Lachab (7 appearances in the league) both on the flank (injured). Top scorer in the squad with 8 goals, Soberon has been absent for two matches and seems highly uncertain for this evening. This should not be the case for Chapela (7 pawns in Liga2) and for Ortuno (6 goals in the league).
