On Saturday, 23rd March, Spanish Segunda's match between Espanyol and Tenerife will take place.
Having competed in La Liga last year, the team aims to earn a promotion to Segunda, though the competition for a top spot is stiff. Currently, Espanyol remains unbeaten for five games in a row and sits in third place on the league table. In the previous five outings, they overcame Zaragoza 1:0, Eibar 3:2, and Mirandés 3:0 and drew with Alcorcón 1:1 and Huesca 0:0. This season is going quite well, with 14 victories, 7 losses, and 10 draws in their kitty.
The visitors occupy the thirteenth place in Segunda's ranking and exhibit a decent level of play, yet find it difficult to compete with more or less top opponents. They drew with Huesca 0:0 in the last round and previously lost to Racing 2:4. The team currently has 11 wins, 12 losses, and 8 draws in this tournament.
Since 2017, the teams have met five times. Espanyol claims one victory 3:2, Tenerife also has a win 1:0, and they had three draws (1:1, 0:0, 0:0).
The host team is a clear favourite in this encounter. In good form currently, Espanyol is determined to return to La Liga. Tenerife, on the other hand, faces no such immediate objectives, given the superior opposition, but they definitely shouldn't be written off in this match.
