Racing vs Real Madrid team news and expert analysis
The Santander-based club dominated the Segunda Division last season. However, after finally earning promotion, Racing are predictably facing problems: they have lost half of their matches. Still, they have already managed to win a couple of games, all of them at home. In the most recent round, they beat Espanyol 2-1.
The capital giants ended last season without a single trophy. And they have hardly been convincing this campaign either. Defeats to Betis and Atlético have already left them trailing Barcelona. However, they cut that gap in half by securing an important victory in El Clásico. There were also concerns in the Champions League, but the Spaniards still managed to make a winning start with victories over Inter, Roma and RB Leipzig.
The newcomers score a respectable 1.5 goals per match, but they also concede almost twice as many — 2.6 per game. The Madrid runners-up have averaged 2.5 goals, while conceding a fairly modest one per match.
