Racing Santander vs Alaves Prediction

Alright, let's get stuck in. We’re looking at a bit of a mismatch here in La Liga. Racing Santander are currently sitting in 13th place, and to be honest, they’re looking a bit shaky. They’ve managed to pick up a few points, but their defense is letting in nearly two goals a game on average. They’re struggling to keep things tight, which is going to be a massive headache for them this week.

On the other side of the park, we’ve got Alaves, and they are absolutely smashing it. They’re sitting in 2nd place, and they haven't lost a single game yet this season. They’re scoring like mad—averaging 1.80 goals a game—and their backline is looking solid as a rock, only conceding 0.70 per match. They just came off a massive 5-2 win against Osasuna, showing they’ve got the graft and the quality to break teams apart.

Now, if you look at the history, Santander haven't won a single time against Alaves. It’s a bit of a nightmare for them. Alaves are clinical, confident, and looking for that win to keep their momentum going. Santander might try to scrap at home, but Alaves are just too organized and too sharp in front of goal. I’m backing the visitors to take all three points here. It’s a bit of a mismatch, and the value is all on the away side.

Key Points:

• Alaves are currently 2nd in the league with a 60% win rate.

The chosen bet is Away Win.
