Almeria to punish lacklustre visitors
The Union Deportiva Almeria vs Tenerife prediction strongly suggests that Almeria should have enough about them to take all the points against Tenerife on Sunday and the odds don’t really reflect that.
Rubi’s men are 2.02 favorites to beat the team from the Canary Islands, which is a bit of a head-scratcher when you consider that Tenerife are 4.01 to get a result.
UD Almeria are sixth in LaLiga 2 with 66 points from 41 games and are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. Tenerife are 20th with just 36 points and are having a miserable season in Spain’s second tier.
Tenerife’s travel sickness is terminal
Back-to-back defeats have left them in trouble and they have failed to win any of their last five games, drawing three and losing two.
Alvaro Cervera has done a decent job since taking charge in December 2024, but has not been able to stem the tide of poor results that has seen them languish in 20th position.
Rubi has brought some stability to Almeria since taking over in July 2024 and has made them a formidable force at home. The Rojiblancos have won each of their past three at Estadio de Mediterráneo while Tenerife have lost their last two away.

Back the hosts to dominate

The visitors have only Enric Gallego to rely on as a regular scoring threat, with him having 7 goals in 33 league games, but he hasn’t had much support recently.
Marc Pubill has three assists in Almeria’s last 5 matches, so back him to be a creative spark in a home win that should be coming at a decent odds. Our final Union Deportiva Almeria vs Tenerife prediction: expect the hosts to capitalize on home advantage and continue their playoff push.
