Racing can claim revenge

Mirandes did the double over Racing Santander in the regular season, but the hosts have the opportunity to turn things around in the first leg of this Segunda playoff.

Racing had a strong home record this term, picking up 11 wins at their own ground, suffering only four defeats. The hosts did have an awful time at the league’s top sides, losing five of their six visits to the top seven. If they’re to progress from this semi-final, delivering at home is going to be key.

While Mirandes won this fixture back in November, they were clearly second-best. Racing had two-thirds of possession and they had over twice as many shots. The hosts were a solid attacking side across the campaign, while Mirandes outperformed their underlying data defensively.

The visitors were poor on the road, suffering 10 defeats. That narrow win at Racing was their only victory away to the top eight, as they lost five of those seven games, including four 1-0 defeats. Back Racing to turn things around on the visitors, securing a 1-0 win to take into a difficult second leg.
