Athletic Club II form and stats

Athletic Club II drew their last game, 1-1 away at Arenas de Getxo (placed 7th). In the match before that, Club hosted CD Badajoz (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) and drew the Segunda B - Playoffs game 1-1.

Jon Guruzeta was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Arenas de Getxo after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

This is expected to be a close game, with Athletic Club II perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Athletic Club II as a small favourite), we find four games. Athletic Club II has won two of these, drawn two and lost zero.

Last season, Athletic Club II's league statistics were 14 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the Segunda B - Group 2. Over these 28 matches they scored 55 goals and conceded 35. Playing at home last season Athletic Club II managed 8-5-2 (win-draw-lost) with 35 goals and 17 conceded.

Racing Santander form and stats

The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on J. Oltra Castañer, the Santander manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

There were no winners in Santander's previous match, a Segunda B - Group 2 home game that ended 1-1 vs Portugalete (placed 5th). It was a La Liga 2 defeat before that one as the away game against Real Oviedo wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Racing Santander in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Racing Santander, three draws and zero defeats.

Let's have a look at how Racing Santander performed last season in the La Liga 2: They landed a 22nd position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 18 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 39 and conceded 56 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 9 and lost 10 with 14/27 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

As for the last four games between these two teams, there's one Athletic Club II victory, one draw and two Racing Santander wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
