The visiting Elche side should be favourites in this visit to Racing Santander, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their 37 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Santander and Elche.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Relegation threatens Santander who should definitely be looking for some points here. Elche are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
