Form points to home advantage

Racing Santander have won two of their last five recent matches and lost three. Valencia have won one and lost four. A win would lift the hosts to ten points from eight games; Valencia would reach seven points from eight with three points here, but defeat would leave them on four from eight.

The market implies a 43.3 per cent chance of a home win, 26.9 per cent for a draw and 29.8 per cent for Valencia to take it. That spread reflects the gap in recent results more than the gap in the table, where Racing sit only three points clear.

Recent meetings offer little separation

The five head-to-head meetings above contain 14 goals in total. Racing Santander lost two and drew three. Three of the five finished level, including a 2–2 draw in the most recent encounter and a goalless stalemate before that. The tightest margin in either of the defeats was a single goal.
