Almeria go into the last fixture of the season holding sixth place and the final playoff berth
Tenerife are already relegated
Almeria have won their last six home league matches while Tenerife have lost five of their last eight on the road
Cowboys can confirm their playoff berth
Almeria should confirm their playoff place with a home victory over already-relegated Tenerife on the final day of the Segunda campaign. The Cowboys have a great record at UD Almeria Stadium, where they have won each of their last six home matches.
Their home form has been the cornerstone of a promotion bid that could well bear fruit if they can keep it going. Almeria remain unbeaten at the venue in 18 league games and have scored an average of 1.7 goals per game in front of their fans.
Tenerife, meanwhile, are already making plans for next season after their fate was sealed a few games ago. Blanquiazules have not won any of their last seven matches and have managed just five draws and two losses in that run.
Tenerife’s away torment to continue
On the road, their fortunes have been even worse, losing 14 of their last 22 away fixtures. Tenerife average just 0.8 goals per match away from home and concede 1.3.
The form points to a solid home win with Almeria capable of shutting out their visitors to ensure a comfortable passage to the playoffs. Rubi’s side have scored exactly two goals in four of their last seven home games and kept three clean sheets in the last five of those. Tenerife have failed to register in two of their last three away trips and last three overall, leading to the conclusion that they may succumb to a 2-0 defeat.
