Racing Club form and stats

There's been little loot from Racing Club's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Superliga. Racing Club only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Racing Club who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Independiente was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Two away matches in a row for Racing Club, whose manager Gago could celebrate last time after the Copa Libertadores win against Aucas. Rojas, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.75. Rojas scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 3 of 6 duels.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Platense's place.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Racing have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. Racing Club's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Justicia have not lost in the last 8 matches (2-6-0) against Racing Club.
