Racing form and stats

With 0 Primera Division wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Racing are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Racing faced defeat in their previous match, away at Fenix (0-3). The game against Fenix was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

Before that match, a win away at Cerro.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Racing here at Estadio Centenario in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 8 games). It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
