Cordoba vs Tenerife — Tips & Analysis

Tenerife +0.75: Cordoba are not a side that beats anyone by much. They have won by 2 or more goals in none of their last 14 games, and they have lost 4 of their last 5. Tenerife do not need to win here. They just need to stay close, and Cordoba rarely push a game out of reach. Cordoba sit in the relegation places with 6 points from 7 games and a goal difference of minus 6. They let in almost 2 goals a game. Tenerife are the steadier team. They have won 6 and tied 4 of their last 14 games. They let in just over a goal a game, the better back line of the two. The worry is the travel. Tenerife have one win in seven on the road and they were beaten 0-5 at Castellon last month. Both teams come in fresh, with over a week since their last game, and that suits a careful, scrappy night. We expect 1-1, with Cordoba pushing hard but controlling little. That score is enough for this pick. The caution is the history between them. Cordoba have won 5 of the last 8 meetings with Tenerife, so the form book is not the whole story here. Tenerife's road numbers are poor too. Even so, staying in touch is a low bar, and we are happy to take it.
