Tenerife vs Las Palmas – On Wednesday evening, Tenerife and Las Palmas will face battle in the Segunda Division playoff semi-finals, with the first leg taking place at Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez. The visitors finished fifth in the Segunda Division, while Las Palmas finished fourth, one point ahead of their opponents in the final four of the playoffs.
Tenerife has been a part of the Segunda Division since their promotion from the third tier in 2013, however they haven’t played in Spain’s top division since the 2009-10 season. The Canary Islands side had struggled to gain promotion back to the top division in recent seasons, finishing 11th, 16th, 12th, and 14th in the second tier, but they finished fifth this season with 69 points from 42 games.
Tenerife finished the league season with three straight losses to Malaga, Eibar, and FC Cartagena, but they still had enough points to qualify for the playoffs. Luis Miguel Ramis’ team will be mindful of the importance of earning a first-leg advantage at home, but they had the best away record in the Segunda in 2021-22, with 37 points from 21 games.
Tenerife vs Las Palmas- Betting Analysis
Las Palmas have been good on the road this season, collecting 26 points, so it’s shaping up to be an intriguing two-legged game between two sides separated by a single point in the table. The visitors come into this encounter after a 1-0 victory over Sporting Gijon on Sunday, with Jonathan Viera scoring the game’s only goal. Las Palmas climbed to fourth place in the table with 70 points from 42 games, with 19 wins, 13 draws, and ten defeats.
Garcia Pimienta’s team has won each of their previous five games, and they haven’t lost in the league since March 12, thus La Union Deportiva is in good shape going into the playoff semi-final. Between 2015 and 2018, Las Palmas spent three consecutive seasons in La Liga before descending to the second tier, placing 12th, ninth, and ninth in their last three campaigns.
The winner of the second leg will face either Girona or Eibar in the final, with Almeria and Real Valladolid earning immediate promotion to the top division. Although Las Palmas will be in much better shape going into this match, we believe the first leg will be extremely tight. If a draw was given before kickoff, both managers would likely accept it, and a stalemate would leave the tie finely poised ahead of the rematch.
