Racing Santander
- Racing Santander are looking to end a 2-game losing streak that has seen them suffer heavy defeats to Barcelona and Celta Vigo respectively, so Los Verdiblancos will be heading to El Sardinero a little bruised but certainly dangerous.
- At home, Racing are undefeated in 3 games in the 2026/2027 campaign and they've averaged 2.33 goals scored and 1.67 goals conceded in this period, indicating that the games in Santander have been high-scoring and eventful.
- Young Moroccan forward Yassir Zabiri is Racing's top scorer in LaLiga 2026/2027 with 6 goals in 7 games and will be the focal point of the hosts' attack on Sunday.
Valencia CF
- Valencia CF occupy 19th spot in the 2026/2027 standings with 4 points from 7 games, and the pressure is beginning to build on the shoulders of Javier Aguirre and his staff after a run of 1 win and 4 defeats in their last 5 matches.
- A 1-0 win at Deportivo Alaves is all the Ches have managed on the road in the 2026/2027, and that victory was marred by a 2-3 defeat against Real Sociedad at Mestalla during the week.
- Valencia's finishing has been particularly poor in the opening weeks of the season with Aaron Mayol their top scorer in the 2026/2027 with just 1 goal in 2 appearances.
- They've been woeful away from home, averaging just 0.67 goals per game and scoring only 2 goals in total on the road.
Key Players
- Young Moroccan forward Yassir Zabiri is Racing's top scorer in LaLiga 2026/2027 with 6 goals in 7 games and will be the focal point of the hosts' attack on Sunday.
- Aaron Mayol is Valencia's top scorer in the 2026/2027 with just 1 goal in 2 appearances, highlighting the visitors' struggles in front of goal.
Betting Insights
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks a solid option given the high-scoring nature of Racing's home games but the low-scoring nature of Valencia's away matches in the 2026/2027.
- Both Teams to Score at 1.57 should also appeal to those looking for a low-risk option.
Prediction
Racing are the narrow favourites at 2.18 , compared to Valencia's 3.05 and the tie at 3.55 , but we feel the hosts should have the edge on Sunday.
