- Racing Santander are the form side in LaLiga 2, unbeaten in five (W4, D1).
- Racing have won five of their eight away league games this season, averaging 2.25 goals per game on their travels.
Racing to take another step in promotion chase
Racing Santander have enjoyed a strong season and top the LaLiga 2 table with 36 points from 18 games. Jose Alberto Lopez has crafted a promotion-chasing team since taking over as head coach in December 2022, instilling a high-tempo, possession-based playing style with a high defensive line and a midfield that can unravel opponents with intricate one-two passing.
Racing have scored 11 goals in their last five games, assisted by the 4 assists of Inigo Vicente, but Asier Villalibre remains their biggest threat. He has 10 goals in 18 LaLiga 2 games and is a constant threat to the opposing team’s back four.
A 2-1 win after extra time at Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey was followed by a thrilling 3-2 away victory over Cadiz and a 1-1 home draw with Leganes. For those looking for an early SD Huesca vs Racing Santander prediction, the attacking form of Racing makes them slight favorites heading into this fixture.
Huesca to make things tough
SD Huesca are 15th with 22 points from 18 games and have won four of their nine home games in the league, drawing three and losing two. They are a much improved outfit under Bolo, who has brought a pragmatic style to the club since taking charge in November 2025.
For a full SD Huesca vs Racing Santander preview, it's important to note that Huesca have won three of their last five games, with one draw and one loss, but their recent results do not reflect the quality of the opposition they have faced. A 2-0 Copa del Rey win at Racing de Ferrol, a 1-4 home loss to Real Valladolid and a 2-0 away win over Cultural Leonesa provide little evidence for Huesca, who are priced at 3.11, to be fancied here.
Bolo likes to set up his teams to be adaptable and work-rate driven, keeping their structure defensively, using situational pressing and transitioning quickly into attack, rather than playing high-risk football.
Back Racing for a win
Racing are the best team in Spain’s second division at the moment and it would be a surprise if they failed to record a sixth away win of the season. For the SD Huesca vs Racing Santander prediction, Huesca will make it tough, but we’re not taking Racing at 2.41, preferring the draw at 3.28.
However, based on the latest SD Huesca vs Racing Santander betting tips, given Racing’s strong away stats this season, the ‘Both Teams To Score’ market at 1.8 looks a great value bet. The visitors will get plenty of chances against a team that has conceded 1.22 goals per home game in the second division, but Huesca have a good record of keeping the scores down of late.
Racing beat Huesca 3-1 away in this fixture in last season’s LaLiga 2 and have won two of the last five head-to-head meetings in all competitions with the other three split between one Huesca win and two draws. Huesca have failed to win their last two home matches against Racing, so we’re taking the visitors to get the better of them.
