They average 1.07 goals scored and 1.33 conceded per game at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López, reflecting a faltering attack led by Enric Gallego and a porous defense. Their recent victory over Real Zaragoza snaps a six-game winless streak (W1, L5), offering a glimmer of hope against a Granada side they’ve historically challenged at home.

They average 1.20 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game away, with Myrto Uzuni spearheading a balanced attack and a defense showing resilience. Their recent loss to Levante ends a brief winning streak (W3, L2), but their playoff aspirations make them a threat against a Tenerife side struggling for survival.

Matches average 2.30 goals in the last 10 encounters, with Granada’s 1-0 win in October 2024 at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes driven by a goal from Uzuni.

Key Players to Watch

Tenerife

• Enric Gallego (FWD): 6 goals, 2 assists in La Liga 2; veteran striker with aerial strength.

• Ángel Rodríguez (MID): 4 goals, 3 assists in La Liga 2; creative spark in midfield.

• Jeremy Mellot (GK): 5 clean sheets in La Liga 2; key to any defensive stand.

Granada

• Myrto Uzuni (FWD): 9 goals, 3 assists in La Liga 2; prolific striker with clinical finishing.

• Gonzalo Villar (MID): 4 goals, 5 assists in La Liga 2; dynamic playmaker with vision.

• Luca Zidane (GK): 7 clean sheets in La Liga 2; steady presence in goal.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Tenerife’s 4-4-2 (1.13 goals per game in La Liga 2) relies on Gallego’s finishing and Rodríguez’s creativity, likely holding 48% possession at home to exploit Granada’s defense (1.13 goals conceded per game) with direct play and set-pieces. No major injuries are projected, with José León anchoring the backline. Granada’s 4-2-3-1 (1.45 goals per game in La Liga 2) hinges on Uzuni’s poaching and Villar’s flair, aiming for 52% possession to control the tempo, with Kamil Jozwiak doubtful (knock). The 12,000 fans at Heliodoro Rodríguez López will rally Tenerife, suggesting a match where Tenerife’s home resilience could challenge Granada’s playoff pedigree, though Granada’s superior quality might shine through in a tight contest.
