Racing Santander running away with the title
With 69 points from 37 games, Racing Santander have been head and shoulders above their LaLiga 2 rivals this season and should have no trouble getting another three points against 19th-placed Huesca on Sunday. Our Racing Santander vs SD Huesca prediction indicates that Jose Lopez has overseen the team’s ascent to the summit of the standings since becoming manager in December 2022, with his relationist, high-pressing, high-line style making Racing Santander a suffocating force to face.
Their recent results have been good, but not quite dominant, with three wins, one draw and a defeat from their last five, but they have won each of their last two at home. A 5-1 home win over Almeria was followed by a 3-1 victory at Real Sociedad B last time out. Andres Martin, who has 19 goals in 36 LaLiga 2 appearances this term, has been in fine form recently, grabbing four assists in his last five matches, and the team’s form has also been boosted by Giorgi Guliashvili hitting a purple patch.
Huesca, by contrast, have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five, which has seen them slip to 19th place with only 36 points from their 37 games. Their recent form is relevant to any Racing Santander vs SD Huesca betting tips, as it includes a 2-1 loss at Eibar and a 1-0 win at Real Zaragoza. Enol Rodriguez is their top scorer with only five LaLiga 2 goals from 29 appearances this year, and their attack has generally struggled for consistency.
Huesca’s away woes set to continue
The visitors’ 1.89 goals per away game conceded average in LaLiga 2 this term suggests they will be vulnerable on the road against a free-scoring home side. The Racing Santander vs SD Huesca preview highlights that they have lost 14 of 18 away games this year, winning just twice.
Backing Racing Santander to win at 1.52 looks the most obvious play for this match, although the hosts are likely to have to work hard for it. Huesca will set up with a back three or five and look to be compact, with their press triggers well behind the ball.
However, this Racing Santander vs SD Huesca prediction is strengthened by Racing’s vertical, high-octane style, which should break through, so it looks like the home side should win and both teams to score, with over 2.5 goals being scored at 1.63 and BTTS at 1.69 also appealing in this matchup of promotion-chasing Racing Santander versus relegation-threatened Huesca.
