Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Racing Santander share the top spot in the league with Levante UD, but they have a game in hand. The match against relegation-zone Cartagena presents an excellent opportunity for Racing to take the lead.
Racing Santander
The hosts come into this match in excellent form. They remain undefeated this season and are currently on a four-match winning streak. Notably, during this period, they have conceded only one goal. On average, Racing allow just five shots on target per game, which is an impressive statistic. However, the team’s offence is not particularly prolific; in each of their last three matches, they have scored only one goal.
Cartagena
The visitors find themselves in a contrasting situation. The team has lost five out of their first six matches and have managed to collect only three points. They struggle to create chances, averaging just three shots on target per game, most of which came against teams with subpar defences. Defensively, they have significant issues, conceding almost two goals per game.
Racing Santander vs Cartagena Prediction
Racing Santander look like the favourites in this match, but given their attacking issues, anything could happen. It’s better to bet on the match's overall goal count. Both teams score infrequently, and their defences are not entirely weak. Therefore, we do not expect a high-scoring match and recommend betting on the total under.
