As part of the 11th round of the Spanish Primera, Racing will play on its own field with Real Madrid. Bookmakers expect a scoring extravaganza and a crushing victory for the guests from the match. Will the teams be able to meet the expectations of the first of November? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Racing Santander
Current form
Racing should be given its due: despite its very modest resources and novice status, the Santander team demonstrates very spectacular football, although it does not always bring results. For example, the hosts lost heavily to Barcelona (2:7) and Celta (0:5) in away matches. The results are much better in home matches: Jose Lopez's team has never lost in El Sardinero, but there were victories over Elche (3:2), Alaves (2:1) and Espanyol (2:1).
Despite the largest number of goals conceded in the league, the hosts stay out of the relegation zone and occupy 15th place, two points ahead of 18th Getafe. Yesterday, Racing, playing with a weakened squad, managed to beat the modest Ribadesella in the cup (2:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Salinas was disqualified due to too many yellows. Martin's participation in the match is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team has scored at least two goals in every home game this season.
Both teams scored in every home match of Racing
The last time Racing beat Real Madrid was in 2007.
Before the start of the season, Real Madrid was again led by a Special Jose Mourinho. Under his leadership, the capital's club won both the championship and the cup, as well as the Spanish Super Cup. Now, of course, he expects to repeat his success and compete for the Champions League. At the beginning of the season, of course, there were misfires: cream lost in away matches to Betis (0:1) and Atletico (1:2). But now the guests are on a streak of five wins in a row.
In the championship, the club defeated Villarreal (1-0) and Sevilla (4-1) on its own field, and last week they managed to win the El Classico, beating Barcelona (2-1) on the road, which had previously gone undefeated in the championship. Madrid have only won the Champions League so far: they managed to beat Inter Milan (2:1), Roma (4:3) and RB Leipzig (4:1). The duel with the Romans turned out to be especially memorable: by the 83rd minute, the Galacticos were losing 1-3, but they scored three goals in the remaining time and took three goals away from the Italian capital.
Disqualifications and injuries
Asensio and Rodrigo are injured and will not participate in the game. Vinicius misses the match due to suspension. Valverde's involvement has not been confirmed.
Interesting betting trends
The team has won five games in a row
In the last four matches, Madrid have failed to win back to zero.
So far, the guests have never played a draw in the season.
Real Madrid has no problems playing offensively: the team scored four goals each in recent matches with Roma, Leipzig and Sevilla. There are high chances of continuing the productive series in an away match with the newcomer of the Spanish Primera, Racing.
Even fans who sympathize with the Santander club will not argue with the fact that at the moment the hosts cannot compete with the capital's superclub. Jose Mourinho's men are in peak form and will be in great spirits after their away win over Barcelona in El Classico. Racing has already lost twice this season by a five-goal margin, and for sure they will not be able to avoid defeat in the match with cream.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-2.5) for Real Madrid in 2.25
Racing does not have a reliable defensive game, and the Madrid team is capable of conceding from any opponent - Mourinho's wards have managed to do without conceding goals only twice this season. In the face-to-face confrontation, the attack will surely prevail over the defense again and we will see a large number of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 4.5 goals in 2.15
A bet on a player's goal
Kylian Mbappe failed to win the Golden Ball, but continues to demonstrate his goalscoring skills in matches for Real Madrid. The French striker has scored 11 goals in 10 league matches and is second only to Rafinha from Barcelona in the goalscoring race. A duel with the most skipping team of the championship is a great opportunity to replenish your scoring account. In El Classico, Kilian opened the scoring, and it is likely that this time his goal will allow Madrid to take the lead.
Our betting tip is that Kylian Mbappe will score the first goal in 2.50
