Tenerife vs Granada prediction, H2H and probable line-ups – December 4, 2025
One of the second-round fixtures of the 2025/26 Copa del Rey will take place this Thursday at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where local side Tenerife host Granada. Here’s our pick for the outcome of this intriguing clash, offering solid odds for success.
Match preview
Tenerife continue to impress this season, especially in front of their home fans. The team has shown defensive resilience and clinical finishing. A commanding 4-1 victory over Arenas Club and a convincing 4-0 performance against Celta B underline their attacking potential.
At the same time, the hosts are playing with maximum discipline—just 10 yellow cards in their last five matches. Thanks to crisp passing (84% accuracy) and solid game management, they consistently control the tempo. Special attention should be given to their wing play, where Tenerife’s pace and creativity often prove decisive.
Granada enter this Copa del Rey round searching for stability after a string of mixed results. Their 1-0 win over Cultural Leonesa came at the cost of numerous fouls, highlighting their aggressive style. Over their last five matches, Granada have picked up 15 bookings, pointing to discipline issues.
While they have the firepower to capitalize on chances—as seen in their 3-1 win over Zaragoza—they still lack balance between attack and defense. Their high pressing often leaves gaps, particularly on the road. That makes them vulnerable against organized and patient sides like Tenerife.
Probable line-ups
- Tenerife: Martín, Landazuri, León, Zoilo, Rodríguez, Sanz, Calavera, Montes, Gil, De Miguel, Rubio
- Granada: Astralaga, Maroto, Diallo, Williams, Hormigo, Ruiz, Trigueros, Alcaraz, Pascual, Arnáiz, Faye
Match facts and head-to-head:
- In their last five matches, Granada have received 15 yellow cards compared to Tenerife’s 10
- In their most recent head-to-head, Tenerife had the edge in passing accuracy—85% versus 79%
- In the last two meetings between these teams, each side has claimed one victory
Prediction
Given their current form and home confidence, Tenerife look like the favorites here. Their organized structure and reliable defense could be decisive against an aggressive but unpredictable Granada. The best bet appears to be "Tenerife to win with a 0 handicap," and there’s also a strong chance of a low-scoring encounter.
