Racing Santander vs Real Madrid Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | LaLiga 2026-27
Racinguistas will take on Los Blancos on matchday 11 in LaLiga.
This season’s newly promoted Racing Santander will lock horns with LaLiga giants Real Madrid in round 11. Racing beat the Catalan side Espanyol in their last fixture by 2-1, which led to the sacking of Manolo Gonzalez. Despite the odds, they will be confident of playing good football against the Los Blancos.
Racing in 10 matches have won three, drawn twice and lost five games. Their record against Real Madrid isn’t that good, but they will be hopeful of making an upset.
Tactically, they did get outclassed against FC Barcelona and Celta Vigo, which led to humiliating defeats. So they will have to make sure to not repeat the same mistakes again.
On the other hand, Jose Mourinho helped Los Blancos beat their rival Barcelona by 1-2 at Camp Nou. This win was really important. Now they are just three points behind their rival.
Despite getting dominated by Barca, Los Blancos played in a typical Mourinho style and made things very difficult for the home team. Now they face Racing away from home, which will not be a difficult task. But still they can’t afford to take things lightly at all.
This will be an exciting and mouthwatering clash for sure.
