Extremadura UD form and stats

Extremadura UD's struggle is real here at Estadio Francisco de la Hera with only 16 points collected from 18 La Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-4-10. With Extremadura having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager M. Moquera Bastida.

Extremadura shared the glory with Fuenlabrada in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Before that game, the home loss against Real Zaragoza with the scoreline 1-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Extremadura have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost one.

There will be little rest for Extremadura UD after this match as they are travelling to Numancia for a La Liga 2 game in only three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Extremadura here at Estadio Francisco de la Hera in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 18 games). On the other hand, Extremadura have conceded 24 goals.

Racing Santander form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Racing Santander so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 2-9-7 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Santander has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

The manager J. Oltra Castañer was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga 2 match played at their home ground Campos de Sport de El Sardinero. Santander suffered a 1-2 loss to Albacete (placed 17th). Before that, Santander travelled to Ponferradina and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Santander are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and three defeats. From a total of five matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Santander are hosting Elche in the La Liga 2 only three days away.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Santander have conceded 22 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Racing Santander - Extremadura 3-0 played earlier this season.
