Racing de Santander will host Levante at El Sardinero on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 LaLiga 2 campaign. The home side have enjoyed a bright start to their season and sit atop the league table with 17 points from eight games as they push for a spot in the promotion playoffs after narrowly missing out last season.
They picked up a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Real Zaragoza last time out, taking a two-goal lead into the break before a red card to Manu Hermano early after the restart saw their opponents draw level. Racinguistas then reclaimed their lead in the second half following a stunning strike from Aritz Aldasoro before Jokin Ezkieta made a late penalty save to ensure the points.
Levante have also performed well in the league this season and are on course to secure a playoff spot. They were, however, held to a goalless draw by Real Oviedo in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.
The visitors sit third in the table with 15 points and could go top with a win on Sunday.
