Racing de Santander vs Burgos Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2024

Racing de Santander will host Burgos at El Sardinero on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 La Liga 2 campaign. The hosts will be confident to continue their fantastic form and increase their comfortable margin at the top of the table.

Racing got their 10th league win of the season in a narrow 2-1 victory over Racing de Ferrol last weekend. The hosts are eight points clear of second-placed Sporting Gijon in the league table, with their only defeat so far being a surprise seventh-round 2-1 loss to bottom-placed Cartagena in September.

Burgos are at the opposite end of the spectrum sitting in 17th place, 18 points behind their weekend hosts. The visitors' 2-0 loss to Sporting Gijon in the last round of league fixtures marked their sixth defeat in an abysmal eight-game winless streak in the league. They are increasingly unlikely to end that poor run when they visit the league leaders this weekend.

Racing de Santander vs Burgos Prediction

All signs point to the home side getting a comfortable victory due to the sheer gulf in class between the two teams. Racing will be given an extra boost by their home form, having only lost once at home all season.

Burgos will have to replicate their solid performances from early in the season if they are to pick up any points this weekend. They have, however, lost their last four away league games on the bounce and could see that streak extended here.

Prediction: Racing de Santander 2-0 Burgos
