Tenerife and Real Zaragoza will battle for three points in a LaLiga 2 matchday nine fixture on Friday (October 11th). The hosts will be looking to build on the 2-0 home win they registered over FC Cartagena SAD last weekend.
Dani Fernandez broke the deadlock for Tenerife in the 36th minute of that game, while Enric Gallego made sure of the result in the third minute of second half injury time.
Zaragoza, meanwhile, fell to a 3-2 defeat at home to Racing Santander. They were two goals down at the break courtesy of strikes from Pablo Rodriguez and Inigo Vicente but their visitors were reduced to 10 men when Manu was sent off in the 50th minute. Zaragoza took advantage to draw level by the 66th minute but Santander defied their numerical disadvantage to claim maximum points through a 71st-minute winner.
The loss left them in fifth spot in the table, having garnered 13 points from eight games. Tenerife are bottom of the standings with just five points.

Tenerife vs Real Zaragoza Prediction
Tenerife made an atrocious start to the season, failing to win any of their first seven games of the campaign. The Canary Islands outfit broke their duck at the eighth time of asking and will be hoping last weekend's win could kick-start their quest to climb out of the relegation zone.
Real Zaragoza, for their part, lost just one of their first six league games but have now lost each of their last two. However, Los Blanquillos have a good overall and recent record in this fixture.
We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
