Racing Santander form and stats

Racing Santander have collected 18 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 4-6-6.

No payout for Santander in their previous match, an away game at Burgos that ended in defeat 1-2. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Pombo for missing a penalty kick versus Burgos in the 6th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Midfielder Aldasoro was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.24 (out of ten) in that game. Aldasoro hit one key pass and had 26 successful passes (of 30 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Levante that was lost 0-1.

Sports bettors, take note: A review of the 10 most recent league matches shows that 8 of them had at least one goal from each team.

Racing Santander have scored {12 league goals} here from 16 matches, not a lot. Santander have only conceded 14 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Albacete form and stats

The visitors are W5-D8-L4 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga 2. We have registered quite an extraordinary streak of draws for Albacete when the away team, as their previous four away games have all ended without a winner. Not since the Tenerife game has the points been given to just one team.

Albacete failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Las Palmas (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-2. Attacker Dubasin got a player rating of 8.6 in the game. "Man of the match" Dubasin scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 6 of 8 times.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Real Zaragoza that ended 1-1.

Albacete have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 19 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 22 goals have been conceded by Albacete in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
