Córdoba have entered the new campaign with determination, putting in solid displays that highlight both defensive organization and attacking discipline. At home, they have been especially resilient, making the most of their atmosphere and showing the kind of intensity needed to challenge higher up the table.

Racing Santander, meanwhile, have shown flashes of quality this season but have struggled with consistency. They have alternated between encouraging wins and disappointing setbacks, particularly when playing outside their comfort zone. Their strength lies in their attacking transitions, but defensive lapses have left them vulnerable in tight matches.

Home and Away Form

At the Estadio Nuevo Arcángel, Córdoba have been strong in their early home outings. They play with confidence on their own turf, keeping the pressure on opponents and often dictating the tempo of games. Their recent home performances suggest they are a side that values stability and efficiency in front of their supporters.

Racing Santander’s away form has been less convincing. While they are capable of moments of brilliance on the road, they have yet to establish the kind of consistency needed to secure back-to-back positive results away from home. Their travels this season highlight defensive gaps that opponents have exploited, especially in the latter stages of matches.

Team News

Córdoba are expected to have most of their first-choice players available, with no major injury concerns reported ahead of the clash. Their attacking unit remains intact, which will be key to breaking down Racing’s defense.

Racing Santander may be missing a couple of important players due to fitness issues. This could limit their midfield options and force the manager to rotate in younger or less experienced squad members. Their defensive structure will need to be sharper if they are to contain Córdoba’s home form.
