- Getafe are winless in their last 5 matches across all current competitions (D2, L3).
- Racing Santander are 4th in LaLiga 2026/2027 with 1 point from 1 game, so they arrive on the first day in the better position of the two clubs.
- Getafe are the slight home favorites in the betting for this one, but it looks as though Racing Santander will make a solid test on the road.
Getafe need to get going
Getafe are 19th in the LaLiga 2026/2027 standings with 0 points from 1 game, and Sunday's home game against Racing Santander will be a tough test for Pepe Bordalas' side as they attempt to climb out of the relegation zone. In this Getafe vs Racing Santander prediction, the Azulones boss took over on 29 April 2023 and has kept Getafe compact, difficult to play against and a team who build their attacks through pace and verticality, rather than intricate passing moves.
The hosts come into Sunday's game having played two matches across all competitions, a 1-1 draw away to Tottenham in a friendly and a 3-0 loss away to Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga. So it is fair to say that Bordalas needs his team to get a result on Sunday to avoid becoming the latest in a long line of Getafe managers to fall into the pit of obscurity.
Racing need to be in the race
Racing Santander are 4th in the early LaLiga 2026/2027 standings after taking 1 point from 1 game. Jose Lopez has had a busy first few months in charge of Racing after taking over on 12 December 2022, but the team have 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in their last 5 games across all competetions, so they have plenty to prove. Racing's most recent two games have been a 1-1 draw with Deportivo Alaves at home in a friendly, followed by a 2-2 home draw against Villarreal CF in LaLiga 2026/2027, so there is no momentum to speak of. Lopez's team are fluid and prefer to play the ball, but they are yet to be tested on the road this season with a record of W0, D0 and L1 in their most recent away trip across all comps.
Getafe to edge a cagey battle
Getafe are the narrow home favorites at 2.0, but this Getafe vs Racing Santander prediction looks like a grind rather than a shootout. Under 2.5 goals at 1.4 is the bet that fits the matchup best, with both teams to score, No at 1.53, our best match bet.
The Verdiblancos may be a little more likely to push on in the match, but they could run into a wall when they try to break through Getafe's block. Andres Martin is Racing's leading goalscorer in the league this season with 1 goal in 1 game, but this looks like a close one that Getafe's structure and home advantage can edge or force a draw. Our Getafe vs Racing Santander betting tips lean toward a low-scoring contest.
