CD Tenerife B Faces Must-Win Clash Against Coria in Promotion Playoff Bid
CD Tenerife B faces a must-win clash against Coria this Sunday as they fight to keep their promotion playoff hopes alive in the final stretch of the Segunda Federación season.
The CD Tenerife reserve team faces a make-or-break moment in their Segunda Federación campaign. This Sunday at 11:00 a.m., Leandro Cabrera’s side hosts Coria at the Ciudad Deportiva Javier Pérez in a crucial battle for a promotion playoff spot.
The stakes are high: Coria currently sits fifth with 51 points, holding a four-point lead over Tenerife. With only three games left in the season, the margin for error is gone. A win would close the gap to a single point, keeping their promotion hopes alive, while any other result would effectively end their chances. This pressure is intensified by a recent slump, with the team earning just seven of the last 21 available points.
The squad also faces significant personnel issues. Kevin Martel is suspended due to yellow card accumulation, and Pau Fernández is out for the season with a muscle tear. Additionally, the availability of Fran Sabina, Alberto Ulloa, and Juan Ybarra remains uncertain, as their participation depends on their commitments with the first team. Having these players back would provide a vital boost for the final stretch, which includes difficult away games against Conquense and league leaders Sanse.
Sunday’s match is more than just a chance to gain points; it is a test of character for a team looking to regain its defensive form. How the club manages its players between the first and second teams will be key to Mazinho’s strategy as the squad fights for survival in the final weeks of the season.
