Competition: Spanish Segunda
Market: Racing Santander win
Odds: 19/20 @ BetUS
Knowing that they can skyrocket their way into the automatic promotion spots on Sunday evening, Racing Santander will welcome Burgos to the Stadium El Sardinero.
Starting with the hosts, while Racing Santander might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, Jose Lopez’s men are once again almost universally regarded as a standout top-six contender once again this year. Last seen falling to a 2-1 loss away at Eibar, the Whites will know the importance of claiming an immediate Segunda response here. Nevertheless, opening Sunday’s fixtures sat in bronze medal position and knowing that they can skyrocket their way back into the automatic promotion spots, the Cantabria-based outfit will be excited to make a return to home soil this weekend. Last seen at the Stadium El Sardinero securing a gritty 1-0 victory against Mirandes, Santander have suffered just a single Segunda defeat in front of their own supporters since way back on September 27th. Collecting a famous Copa del Rey scalp back in December as they signed off 2025 with a 2-1 win against La Liga outfit Villarreal, Sunday’s hosts will be looking to make another promotion statement here.
As for the visitors, missing out on what they had billed as a potential opportunity last week as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home against Cadiz, Burgos have shown some recent inconstancies. Sacrificing their spot in the play-off places, Luis Ramis’ men have recorded just a single win from any of their previous four Segunda appearances and they look set for what should be another stern examination when they travel to the Stadium El Sardinero this weekend. Likewise, watching their Copa del Rey adventure come to an end on January 15th as they fell to a routine 2-0 loss against Valencia, Burgos have also won just a trio of their last nine showdowns across all fronts. With their recent struggles underlined by a nightmare 3-0 drumming at the hands of Malaga on January 23rd, Sunday’s have landed just a sole Segunda victory on their travels since the middle of November. It should also be highlighted, Ramis’ side have drawn a blank in all of their last three consecutive matchups outside of Castile and Leon.
