FC Barcelona vs Racing Santander: Match preview | La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have a big test up ahead against a Racing Santander side that has had some good moments this season. While the Catalan giants are still at the top of the league table, they still need to be at the top of their own game to come out of this game with a victory and they will need a strong starting eleven for that.

They managed a win over Levante in the previous match, but it was far from their best performance this season. Fortunately, the team has enough quality to improve in this game and deliver a much better performance.

Match overview:

Over the course of the season so far, Barcelona have been running rampant across all competitions. In both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, Hansi Flick’s side has a flawless record and are yet to taste defeat or even a significant setback.

While form like this can make some teams complacent moving forward, this Barça team has shown time and time again that they are rarely ever satisfied with a good run of form. Their objective is still to win every title possible this season, and they remain committed to that objective.

Following their victory over Levante, Barcelona will want to secure another win in this game while simultaneously delivering a better performance than they did last time out.

In terms of form, Barça are the clear favourites in this game considering the momentum and morale that they are bringing along with them. With six wins from six games, the Catalan giants are currently enjoying their great run of form.

Moreover, they have scored a staggering 26 goals across those six games and have conceded just five goals in return. This kind of momentum is exactly what Flick would have wanted from his team, and it will certainly aid them in this game as well.

Racing Santander, on the other hand, are enjoying a humble start to the season as well. With two wins, one draw, and two losses from the first five games in La Liga, they have proven themselves to be dangerous opponents that can hurt Barça as well.

They have also scored nine goals across those five games while conceding nine as well. So while they are capable of scoring plenty of goals themselves, they can also be threatened by the right tactics and offensive strategies.
