An overdose of motivation. The emblem of Tenerife and Suso Santana on the sidelines at Siete Palmas. You can’t ask for more. The UD Las Palmas, leaders of the Canarian Group of the Division of Honour with 59 points, welcomes this morning (11:00) the visit of their eternal rival, second in the table with 45 units. Santi Lampón leads the yellow youth team, who, in case of victory, are already close to clinching the regional title – they will be just four points away from achieving it mathematically.
UD, with the absence of left-back Denis, has seven players from Tenerife in their ranks. The group of “chicharreros” includes Israel, Valentín, Ryan, Nehuen, Valentino, Sergio Viera and Jarni. Tomás Medina, with 25 goals, is the top scorer for the yellow team and second nationally. He is the shining star of this talent factory, which last season saw talents like Juanma Herzog (included in Santi Denia’s U21 pre-list and has debuted with Pimienta’s first team) or Johan Guedes (the great gem of the Canarian Third RFEF group’s reserve team).
It should be noted that UD has 25 Division of Honour titles compared to eight for CD Tenerife. Another attraction is witnessing Israel Mora live at the Siete Palmas Annex, who is in the running for the national Youth Zamora award. The new Valles. The U19 super derby will be televised by Canarian TV, and entrance to the Siete Palmas Annex is free.
