Racing de Santander's last five read WLDLL. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 home win over Espanyol on 24 October 2026, but before that they suffered a 0-2 defeat at Osasuna and drew 2-2 at home to Valencia. September brought two heavy away losses, 0-5 at Celta Vigo and 2-7 at Barcelona.

Ribadesella have scored 2 goals and conceded 1 in their 2 matches, keeping 1 clean sheet. It is a small sample, but they have yet to lose.

Racing de Santander have scored 15 and conceded 26 in 10 matches, and they are still waiting for their first clean sheet of the season. No top scorers are listed for either side.

Hyper2Play's model makes Ribadesella the pick, with a 69% chance of a home win, 20% for a draw and 11% for a Racing de Santander victory. The model rates its confidence as high.
