- Venue: Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López (Santa Cruz de Tenerife)
Tenerife are playing their 11th consecutive season in La Liga 2, and they were mostly a mid-table team. Last season, they finished 10th with 57 points from 42 rounds. But since they were very close to the relegation zone in the first half of the season, they can be satisfied with 10th place. This season started very well for them as they are currently 4th with nine points from four matches, losing only to the league's leader - Zaragoza.
In the last ten seasons, Albacete constantly traveled between the third and second tier of Spanish football. Last season, they did very well, finishing in 6th place with 67 points from 42 matches and securing Playoffs. Unfortunately for them, Levante were much better than them in the Semi-Finals, winning 6:1 on aggregate. This season, Albacete won five points from four matches and currently sits in 12th place.
Tenerife vs Albacete pick: Under 2.5 goals
Tenerife allowed only one goal in four matches, and mostly because of a good defensive record, they were all four times under 2.5 goals. But that good defensive record shouldn't be a surprise, especially in home games since they allowed only 12 goals in 21 home games last season. Also, in the previous season in La Liga 2, Tenerife had the fewest games (ten) with three or more goals. Only 23.8% of their La Liga 2 games went over 2.5 goals.
Albacete were three times under 2.5 goals in four rounds. We think they will have big problems scoring as they are without their three top goalscorers from the previous season. Jonathan Dubasin and Maikel Mesa left the club while Higinio Marin is injured. So, it is fair to expect they will struggle to score against a strong defensive team like Tenerife.
In the previous h2h game, Tenerife won 1:0, and the only goal was scored from the penalty spot. Additionally, we have seen fewer than three goals in the previous five h2h games.

Albacete team news
As we mentioned, the best striker from the last season, Higinio Marin, is ruled out for this game with an injury. The 29-year-old striker scored 11 goals last season. With him out, Dani Escriche will most likely start as a replacement.
A backup striker, Pedro Alberto Ponomar Benito, is also injured and will not play vs Tenerife. He arrived at the club from San Sebastian Reyes over the Summer and still hasn't played a game for Albacete.
After a 2:0 over Real Valladolid, coach Ruben Albes was satisfied. He said they played a complete game and especially praised the defensive line. "Today, the defensive line was magnificent, and we had a lot of control. I repeat that the defensive line has been very good, but it is a credit to the whole team," the coach added.
