A stellar recent run of league form ended last time out, as Tenerife suffered a 2-1 defeat at Sporting Gijon. The defeat came on the back of two straight league wins over Andorra and Albacete.
Tenerife’s recent league outings have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous seven matches in the Segunda.
Asier Garitano’s team has a stellar recent home record in the Segunda, as they have won seven of their previous nine matches in the second tier dating back to last season.
They have also kept clean sheets in five of the previous seven home matches in the Spanish second tier.
The Catalan team have enjoyed a promising Segunda campaign so far after suffering relegation from La Liga last season.
Luis Garcia’s team is unbeaten in six league matches, having recorded four wins and two draws. Their good start has Espanyol in second place in the standings.
A key to Espanyol’s recent good form has been their attacking play, as they have scored at least two goals in four of their last five matches in the Segunda.
Espanyol are three matches unbeaten in the Spanish second tier dating back to their previous spell in the Segunda while recording back-to-back away wins at Mirandes and Levante.
Forebet predicts that Espanyol will continue their promising start to the Segunda campaign by recording a victory in a relatively low-scoring clash.
