Cordoba
- Cordoba have won only one of their last five games, following a 0-2 home defeat to Almeria with a 1-2 away win at Albacete and a 3-1 away defeat to Real Valladolid.
- Tenerife are 9th in the standings with 11 points from seven games and come into this clash with a sturdier platform than Cordoba, who have just six points to their name in 18th spot.
Tenerife
Tenerife have won one of their last five (2 draws, 2 defeats) and suffered a 5-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Castellon on their most recent away assignment.
Head-to-Head
Cordoba have won the last two meetings and beat Tenerife 3-2 away in LaLiga 2 last season.
Key Players
- Ivan Ania has been Cordoba coach since July 2023 and has developed a pragmatic squad that can play football when they need to, but are more comfortable looking to catch opponents off guard in transition.
- Enric Gallego is Tenerife's biggest threat in LaLiga 2 with four goals in five games and two of the Chicharreros' last three have come from the ex-Brighton man.
Betting Insights
- Cordoba are slight favorites to beat Tenerife in the opening game of the week in LaLiga 2 at 1.93, but there looks a chance for the Chicharreros to get something from Monday's clash at Estadio El Arcangel.
- The market is skewed towards Cordoba, but Tenerife have the mental baggage of having not won their last game at this venue and that makes a tie bet the best play.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.95 looks like the best bet to fit the game plan of a tight and tense matchup, rather than a stroll in the park for Cordoba.
Prediction
Cordoba are coming off two defeats at home, Tenerife have failed to win their last two away games (0-1-1) and this doesn't have the feel of an easy home win.
