Racing Santander form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the La Liga 2 this season. Racing Santander have only managed 2 wins, 9 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Campos de Sport de El Sardinero.

A good away victory last time out for Racing Santander, who won 2-1 against Numancia (placed 14th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Real Zaragoza that ended 2-2.

Aitor Buñuel was on the receiving end of a red card in the Racing Santander-Numancia match, being sent off in the 58th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 2-1 victory.

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 Racing Santander have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost two.

The Racing Santander fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
