Osasuna
- Osasuna have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their 4 home LaLiga 2026/2027 games, but they have scored just 2 goals in these 4 matches.
- Sunday’s early LaLiga 2026/2027 game sees 15th-placed Osasuna (8 points from 7 games) face 16th-placed Racing Santander (7 points from 7) in a basement battle where one team will move out of the drop zone and one will sink into it.
- Luis Ramis, who took charge of Osasuna on 1st July 2026, has built a team around a structured 4-2-3-1 system that operates on trigger-based pressing and quick transitions from wide areas.
- Osasuna's last 5 have seen them pick up 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, which doesn't suggest momentum, either.
Racing Santander
- Racing Santander are still looking for their first away win in LaLiga 2026/2027, playing 4 and losing 4.
- José Lopez has led Racing Santander since 12 December 2022 and he has installed a more possession-based 4-2-3-1 system with high regains and lots of free-flowing rotations.
- Racing's last five games have seen them win 2 and lose 3, a downward turn that has seen them slide down the table.
Key Players
- Ante Budimir is Osasuna's biggest threat, scoring 5 goals in 7 games in this campaign, while Racing's Yassir Zabiri has 6 goals in 7 appearances and he has been on a roll recently, netting 3 of Racing's 6 goals in their last 5 games.
- Osasuna's Ante Budimir has 5 LaLiga 2026/2027 goals and Racing's Yassir Zabiri has 6 goals.
Betting Insights
- Los Rojillos enter Sunday's game as the 1.9 favorites, but the draw at 3.55 looks too good to ignore, as does Racinguistas at 3.8, given Osasuna's home record and Racing's away record in LaLiga 2026/2027.
- Racing have scored 4 goals in 4 away games in Spain's top flight, so they can nick one even if they fail to get anything from the game.
- But with Osasuna having scored just 2 goals in 4 home games, this looks like a game where both teams could fail to score, so we're going with Both Teams To Score No at 2.2 and Under 2.5 Goals at 2.1 in the major bets.
Prediction
- It looks to be a contrast of styles as Luis Ramis has built a structured, trigger-based pressing side while José Lopez's Racing favour possession and rotations, and this clash of styles suggests a midfield battle.
- This game will be decided in midfield, so we're siding with the home team to edge it, and the low scoring trends at El Sadar make Both Teams To Score No and Under 2.5 Goals plausible main plays.
