Racing Santander Set to Hold Firm at Home

Racing Santander average 2.3 goals per game at Estadio El Sardinero this season while conceding 1.8. Espanyol score just 1.3 goals per away match and have taken only one clean sheet on the road. The two teams share eight points from nine games and identical recent records of one win one draw and three defeats. Racing have won two and drawn one of the last six head-to-head meetings. Seven of Racing’s nine league matches have produced three or more goals. Espanyol have failed to score in just one game overall but show limited attacking output away from home. The contest at El Sardinero may hinge on whether Espanyol can break down a Racing side that rarely keeps a clean sheet.
