Las Palmas will entertain Tenerife at Estadio Gran Canaria in the semi-final second leg of the La Liga 2 promotion playoffs.
Las Palmas are one of the four teams vying for the sole promotion spot to La Liga. They were humbled 1-0 by Tenerife in the first leg of the semi-final on Wednesday.
La Union Deportiva finished fourth in the Segunda Division with 70 points, a point above fifth-placed Tenerife. At home, Las Palmas will endeavor to overturn the narrow deficit and see off the challenge of the visitors. It is not an impossible mission considering how the Islanders have fared at home recently. They have won their last five home matches comfortably.
Tenerife were hoping to win at home by a bigger margin ahead of the return leg. However, all they could achieve was a lone-goal victory which exposed them to uncertainties as they head to Las Palmas for the second leg.
Tete will first of all fight to safeguard their slim lead before aiming to sink their hosts and grab a ticket to the final. It appears to be an uphill battle, but it's not impossible.
Las Palmas are highly motivated to return to the top tier and will not cheaply cede this opportunity.

Las Palmas vs Tenerife Prediction
Jonathan Viera and Jesse made the Segunda Division top scorer list with 14 and 11 goals respectively. Coach García Pimienta will count on both players, among others, for goals to help his outfit overcome the challenge of Tenerife. That might not be enough.
The home side need to rectify their wastefulness in front of goal to improve their scoring chances. Tenerife will be on the lookout for blunders they can exploit. With the hosts likely to throw men forward in search of goals, such errors are bound to occur.
Las Palmas are favored to win and progress to the final, but Tenerife can steal the show as well in Gran Canaria. We expect the home team to emerge victorious.
Prediction: Las Palmas 2-0 Tenerife
