Venue (City, Stadium) | Santander, El Sardinero |
Real Madrid head to El Sardinero on Sunday for Racing Santander vs Real Madrid, a LaLiga fixture with goals written all over it at both ends.
Racing are unbeaten at El Sardinero this season, but a defence that has shipped 26 goals in 10 league games gives the visitors plenty to aim at.
Real Madrid arrive third in the table and in fine fettle, after Kylian Mbappé's double sank Barcelona in the Clasico.
History is firmly on the visitors' side. Real Madrid have won 9 of the last 10 meetings with Racing Santander in all competitions, and Racing need something special to change that.
Racing Santander vs Real Madrid Form
Racing's win over Espanyol at El Sardinero, with Jeanuël Belocian and Yassir Zabiri scoring, was their only victory in their last five league games. Zabiri is the danger man, with eight LaLiga goals to his name, and Racing's matches tend to be messy, open affairs with goals at both ends.
Eleven wins from their last 13 LaLiga outings says plenty about Real Madrid, and the Clasico win at Barcelona showed why. Mbappé, the match-winner there, has 11 goals in his first 10 league appearances of the season, with Jude Bellingham pulling the strings just behind him.

Racing Santander vs Real Madrid Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Real Madrid to take the points, but not without conceding. Our Racing Santander vs Real Madrid prediction backs the away win, priced at 1/4 with 10Bet, and that result has landed in 8 of Real Madrid's last 10 matches against all opponents. Racing are dangerous from set pieces and long range, though, so expect them to make a game of it before the visitors' quality tells.
Best Bets
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Racing Santander have been involved in high-scoring games and should find a way past Real Madrid at El Sardinero. Real Madrid are not watertight, with stopping opponents from creating chances listed among their weak spots, and Racing carry a real threat from direct free kicks and attacking set pieces. Over 2.5 goals landed in 5 of Real Madrid's last 6 LaLiga games, so goals at both ends make sense.
Total Goals Over/Under: Over 3.5 Goals. Real Madrid's attack against a leaky Racing defence points to a high-scoring game. Racing's games have seen over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 LaLiga outings, and now they face an attack led by Mbappé and Bellingham. With the projected total sitting at 4.11 goals, Over 3.5 is a sharper route than the very short Over 2.5.
Racing Santander vs Real Madrid Bet Builder

Kylian Mbappé Over 2.5 Player Shots On Target: He has hit the target 3+ times in six of his past 10 games in LaLiga, so the accuracy backs up the volume.
Racing Santander Over 1.5 Total Home Team Cards: This line has landed in 10 of Racing's last 10 matches, and they have collected 2+ cards in 6 of the last 6 meetings with Real Madrid in LaLiga.

Racing Santander vs Real Madrid Talking Points
The message from the Real Madrid camp is that the Clasico win only holds value if it is followed up with three points against Racing, and that tells you there will be no easing off. The Racing Santander vs Real Madrid betting odds reflect that, with the home win out at 11/1 with AK Bets. Racing's best hope is dead balls, where they are strong, against a Madrid side that struggles in aerial duels. Zabiri will need to be clinical, because the visitors' counter attacks will punish any home side that commits too many bodies forward.
