Racing Santander vs Alaves Prediction | 62% Away Win |

Match Preview

Racing Santander host Alaves at Estadio El Sardinero in La Liga’s Regular Season - 5. Racing have collected one win, one draw, and two losses so far, scoring seven goals but conceding eight, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Their home form is pivotal as they seek to stabilize after a shaky start.

Alaves arrive unbeaten after three matches, with two wins and a draw, conceding just one goal and keeping two clean sheets. This defensive solidity underpins their strong early league position, sitting comfortably above the relegation zone with seven points from three games. Joselu remains a key attacking outlet for Alaves, contributing crucial goals.

Racing’s defensive fragility contrasts with Alaves’ resilience at the back. However, Alaves face injury concerns that could blunt their attacking efficiency. Racing’s scoring rate of 1.75 goals per game is promising but offset by their leaky defense. The edge lies with Alaves due to their superior form and defensive record, though Racing’s home advantage and Alaves’ injury list make this a tight contest. Alaves are slight favorites with an implied 45% win probability.

Team Form

Racing’s recent form shows inconsistency and defensive lapses, with three losses in their last five, including home setbacks. Their attack is functional but undermined by conceding too often.

Alaves’ unbeaten sequence and two clean sheets in three league matches underline their defensive strength. Their attack is efficient, though injuries could reduce their goal threat here.
