Racing will host Alaves in the fifth round of the Spanish championship. The guests started the season very brightly and got to the second place after four rounds. The hosts have not achieved such success so far and are close to the relegation zone. Will the guests finally stumble on September 12th? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Racing Santander
Current form
Racing has not participated in the Spanish Primera for a long time and started the season well for a beginner. The Santander team has not lost on its own field yet. In the first round, they managed to draw with Villarreal (2:2), and in the next home match they scored a victory over Elche (3:2). The hosts started both meetings well and scored all their goals in the first half.
But on the road, Jose Lopez's team has not scored points yet. In the match with Getafe (0:1), they conceded the only goal in the end, and with Rayo Vallecano (2:3) they led twice, but eventually lost. Even the removal of an opponent did not help. In the standings, the hosts are still in 13th place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Eriksson and Martin will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
The team has won only one of the last five matches.
Both teams have scored in Racing's last four home matches.
Alaves became the main sensation at the start of the season in the Primera. It was expected that the club would fight for survival again, but the guests conducted the first four rounds in an exemplary manner. In the standings, the team is in second place, even above Real Madrid. The guests have not suffered a single defeat so far, and lost points only in the away match with Rayo Vallecano (1:1). At home, Kike Flores' team is only winning, and very confidently. Alaves was able to score crushing victories over Getafe (3:0) and Osasuna (5:2), only Victory over Villarreal (1:0) turned out to be less impressive.
Disqualifications and injuries
Garces is serving his suspension. Rodriguez is injured.
Interesting betting trends
The team has not lost yet this season.
In each of the last six away matches, Alaves scored one goal.
Despite the great start to the season, Alaves is considered the outsider of this match. Yes, the team doesn't play so well on the road, but Racing is not the strongest opponent in the Spanish Primera. The hosts often start the match well, but they are not enough for the entire 90 minutes - even with the score 3-0 against Elche, the newcomer almost missed the victory. We think that the guests will be able to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses. We suggest that you believe in Alaves by taking advantage of a solid coefficient.
Our betting tip is the Asian handicap (0) for Alaves in 2.02
The rookie status does not prevent Racing from playing attacking football. The team managed to score two goals each against Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano, while Elche conceded three goals from today's hosts. We only failed to score against Getafe, but Alaves is unlikely to close in defense, because the visitors themselves score a lot. We think that both teams will be able to celebrate the goal.
Our betting tip is that both will score in 1.60
A bet on a player's goal
The visitors' forward Lucas Boye has started this season very brightly. The Argentine missed the match with Getafe due to injury, he failed to distinguish himself from Rayo Vallecano, but in the last two matches the 30-year-old striker exceeded the norm, scoring as many as four goals. With Villarreal, Boye scored the only goal of the match, and Lucas scored a hat-trick against Osasuna. We believe that Alaves' top scorer will be able to extend his scoring streak.
Our betting tip is that Lucas Boyer will score in 2.50
The last two away matches of Alaves ended with this score
