Tenerife welcome the visitors Elche in the Spanish La Liga 2 – Round 20. The match will be held on Friday, January, 4th, at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez (Santa Cruz de Tenerife).
Tenerife don’t suffer a defeat in their 2 latest rounds, neither they celebrate a win there. Even in their last round home meeting with the leading Granada, they managed to take 1 point. Tenerife are just 2 points away from the relegation zone, and if they don’t feature at least 1 win along this drawing streak, yet in the coming round, their 19th line in the standings may be replaced by a lower one in the drop spots.

After Elche were fined for debts and some other financial fraud and booted out from the La Liga to the Segunda Division in 2014-2015, they went down one league lower, yet solely by sporting rules. This season, the team are back to the La Liga 2 again. Following the 4-round series wherein Elche managed to get only 1 point, they started to get results – currently they are on the run of 4-match no-loss streak, registering 3 draws and 1 win over Majadahonda. This enabled the team to back 4 points away the relegation zone.
Tenerife are struggling with their attack. The team are not scoring much – their tally is just 16 goals made; that said, they are not very leaking, considering their tournament placement (19th line), – they allowed 23 goals. Elche have similar problems. They scored only 2 goals more than their opponent did and allowed 1 goal more. Both teams are very close to the drop spots. Elche will most likely be fine with 1 point, playing away from home. They will probably take care of their own defense, without rushing forward – this is the way they play throughout the competition, actually, which resulted in 13 underscoring matches of their 19 rounds. As for Tenerife, 14 of their encounters produced under 2.5 goals. We should not expect a pouring of goals in the meeting of the teams with such effectiveness. Of 7 opponents’ head-to-heads, only 1 produced over 2.5 goals. The Friday match will hardly see more than 2 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
