Tenerife vs Las Palmas Predictions

• There have been more than two goals in just three of Tenerife’s last 11 matches
• Only two of Las Palmas’ last seven away games have contained three or more goals
• Tenerife are on a run of just one win in seven at home

Tenerife looking for a boost

Tenerife endured a dreadful end to the season, losing three games in a row as they slipped from automatic promotion hopes to fifth place in the table, failing to score in two of those outings.

Luis Miguel Ramis’ side, who have not played in La Liga for more than a decade, only won nine times at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López this season, with their 27 goals netted at home the lowest total in the top six.

Indeed, only five of their last 15 league matches there contained three or more strikes, while just three of their last 11 at all venues have seen in excess of two goals.

Las Palmas in terrific form

Whereas Tenerife had a poor end to the campaign, the same cannot be said for Las Palmas, who shot up the table thanks to a run of five wins in a row and eleven games without defeat.

Five of those fixtures contained three or more goals, but only two of six away from home, while their 23 strikes from 21 league fixtures on the road was lower than four of the other five sides in the promotion positions.

Indeed, García Pimienta’s side saw three or more goals in only 33% of their outings on their travels, and given this is the first leg of a play-off tie, you would expect them to try and keep things tight.

I predict there will be fewer than three goals in this game, but Las Palmas might well have enough to sneak the win, with a 1-0 away victory my correct score prediction.
