FC Cartagena
LLLLWL

Tenerife
WDDDDD 🤝

In that game, Tenerife had 64% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Racing Ferrol had 3 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target.
A run of outstanding showings by the Tenerife defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their previous 6 fixtures in total. Over that same period, their own forwards have managed to score 5. With no two games being the same, it remains to be seen if that pattern might persist here in this match.

- are undefeated in their last 3 league matches away from home.
- have not won away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.
