Final score: Racing Santander 2–1 Espanyol

Match preview

Racing Santander will be looking to continue their impressive La Liga campaign when Espanyol visit El Sardinero on October 24, 2026. Racing’s formidable record of 22 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses, coupled with a healthy 79 goals scored, paints the picture of a side firmly in contention. Their recent form, with three wins and a draw from their last five outings, suggests a confident unit ready to pounce.

In stark contrast, Espanyol are enduring a challenging season, reflected in their 10 wins, 8 draws, and 13 losses. Their struggle to find the back of the net, with only 37 goals, is compounded by a porous defence that has shipped 48. A winless streak in their last five, including three defeats, underscores their precarious position. While recent head-to-head encounters have been evenly split, Racing's current momentum and home advantage make them strong favourites. Watch for Racing's attacking prowess against an Espanyol side desperate to tighten up at the back and snatch a vital point.
