Barcelona vs Racing Santander Predictions

• Barcelona have won all six matches they’ve played this season, scoring 26 times
• However, Barca have conceded five goals across their last four matches
• Racing Santander have scored nine times in five top-flight matches, and nine of their last 10 games have seen BTTS land

Santander have made their mark in top-flight return

Racing Santander have been a welcome addition to Spain’s top-flight this season, and they can play their part in an open game when they visit a rampant Barcelona side.

The hosts are the only side in Spain’s top-flight to win each of their first five matches, and they’ve scored 21 times across those victories. Barca also thumped Feyenoord 5-1 in the Champions League, marking them out as one of the most lethal attacking sides in Europe.

The visitors haven’t been shy going forward, and they’ve scored nine times in their first five matches back at this level. Both teams have scored in four of their first five league games, including a 2-2 draw with Villarreal and a 3-2 defeat at Rayo Vallecano.

If Barcelona have a weakness, it’s their habit of handing their opponents a consolation goal. The hosts have conceded five times across their last four matches, and they meet a Racing side that has seen BTTS land in nine of their last 10 league games dating back to last season.
