Racing de Santander
WLDWWL

In that game, Racing de Santander had 71% possession and 23 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. At the other end, Cartagena had 5 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Daniel Luna (45') scored for FC Cartagena.
It has not been often in recent games where Racing de Santander have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Racing de Santander have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 7 goals during that time. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, however.
