DLLLDD ⚠

CD Lugo go into this match following on from a 0-0 La Liga 2 drawn game versus Alaves.

In that game, CD Lugo had 38% possession and 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Alaves got 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target.

A common theme in recent CD Lugo games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their previous six clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a losing one. That trend might not be continued into this match, however.

Their prior results show that CD Lugo:

• haven't lost in the league to Racing de Santander in their previous 3 matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 4 league games. That's never good.

📋 Team News: CD Lugo

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the CD Lugo boss Joan Carrillo to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Joselu Moreno (Knee Problems) is sidelined.

We are thinking that Luguiño should opt for a 3-5-2 formation for the game with Óscar Whalley, Jordi Calavera, Bruno Pires, Alberto Rodríguez, Miguel Loureiro, G. Borges Guedes, Xavier Torres, Pablo Clavería, Andoni López, Javier Avilés and Manu Barreiro.

📰 Team News: Racing de Santander

With a fully injury-free group to choose from, the Racing de Santander boss José Alberto López has zero fitness worries to report coming into this game.

From our viewpoint, Los Racinguistas appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Miquel Parera, D. F. Fernández, Germán Sánchez, Ruben Gonzalez, Saúl García, Aritz Aldasoro, Íñigo Sainz-Maza, Jordi Mboula, Jorge Pombo, Iñigo Vicente and Roko Baturina.

✨ Prediction

We think that CD Lugo will have to work hard as a team to break down this Racing de Santander side who should end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore expecting a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Racing de Santander after 90 minutes.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
