El Sardinero hosts a scrap between two sides stuck near the bottom of the Spanish Primera Division standings, and the Racing Santander vs Valencia betting odds make the hosts favorites.
Newly promoted Racing Santander sit 16th in the standings. Their last outing, a 5-0 beating at Celta, laid bare a defense that struggles to stop opponents from creating looks.
Valencia are 19th and deep in a slump. The club fired Carlos Corberán and handed the job to Javier Aguirre, who now has to drag a battered squad up the standings.
History favors the visitors, though. Valencia are undefeated in their last 9 games against Racing Santander in all competitions, and the hosts need to snap that run at home.
Racing Santander vs Valencia Recent Results
Racing Santander games are rarely quiet. Over 2.5 goals have landed in 8 of their last 9 outings in LaLiga. Sergio Canales is the creative hub, and a side that loves through balls and individual skill can hurt anyone. The problem is that the door swings both ways.
Valencia have dropped 5 of their past 6 LaLiga outings. The latest was a 3-2 home defeat to Real Sociedad, which at least showed a pulse in attack. Pepelu and Guerra are the constants in midfield, but this group struggles to finish and keep the ball.

Racing Santander vs Valencia Talking Points
Javier Aguirre has talked up his new squad, insisting "the team have quality, are eager and have grown stronger." Saying it is easy. Proving it at El Sardinero is the hard part for a side that struggles to finish. The duel to watch is Sergio Canales against a patched-up Valencia back line, and he has recorded 1+ shots on target in 7 of his last 10 appearances vs Valencia (LaLiga). Racing's worry sits at the other end, where they are weak at defending set pieces and protecting a lead. Valencia are good at protecting leads, so if they score first, this gets stubborn in a hurry.
