Preview

This Friday, the 19th of April, promises an electrifying match-up in Spain's La Liga 2 as Tenerife welcomes league leaders Leganés to the Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López for what is set to be a tantalizing 36th-round clash. The match kicks off at 18:30 in an encounter that could have significant implications for both teams' seasons.

Tenerife, under the guidance of Asier Garitano Aguirrezábal, will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage and improve upon their middling form. They find themselves placed 12th in the league with a recent run of mixed results; one win, three losses, and one draw from their last five matches illustrate a team struggling for consistency. Their last outing saw them succumb to a narrow 1-0 defeat away at Albacete.

In contrast, Borja Jiménez Sáez's Leganés are riding high at the summit of La Liga 2 with an impressive tally of 62 points. The visitors boast an unbeaten streak in their last five games – two victories and three draws – showcasing both resilience and ambition as they aim to extend their lead. Their most recent game ended in a goalless draw against Espanyol at home.

Historically speaking, encounters between Tenerife and Leganés have been closely contested affairs; out of their last five head-to-head matchups, Tenerife has secured two wins compared to Leganés' single victory alongside two draws - including a hard-fought 1-1 stalemate when they locked horns on December 20th earlier this season.

When it comes to goalscoring prowess this campaign, there's little to separate these sides: Tenerife averages around one goal per game while managing slightly better (1.25 goals) when playing before their own fans. Meanwhile, Leganés possesses marginally better attacking statistics overall but tends towards modest performances away from home with just about eight-tenths (0.8) goals scored per game on foreign soil.

Defensively speaking however there’s more daylight between them; while both teams become tighter units at home conceding less than they do generally across all matches -- Tenerife letting through only half a goal per game compared with just over half for Leganes -- it’s across all games where differences emerge notably: Tenerife concedes approximately three tenths more goals than they score every ninety minutes whereas remarkably consistent defensively stingy showing sees Leganes conceding barely half as many goals as they manage put past opponents each match on average over course season thus far.
