Racinguistas won’t ruin Barça’s stride
FC Barcelona play at Spotify Camp Nou on Wednesday as the overwhelming favorite at 3/25 to beat Racing Santander, who are priced up at 87/10, while the draw comes in at 87/10.
And it is true that Barcelona arrive in red-hot form after five straight wins in all competitions, with Hans-Dieter Flick's team hammering Rayo Vallecano 5-2, Valencia 5-0 and Feyenoord 5-1.
Barça have won three straight home matches across all competitions, but they won't take a moment to get into their stride in front of their own fans as they are in the habit of setting the pace from the off.
Sensible bets on Barca to win
Flick's men are pressing high and playing a high-line, high-tempo football that should be ideal to clash with Racing's short-passing, cluster-based build-up play. This has Barça written all over it for a win and probably a few goals, but the visitors could also make it interesting enough to avoid a boring 3-0 home win.
Racing Santander, who currently sit 13th in the table on four points after four rounds, have suffered consecutive league defeats to come into this fixture with a bit of a wobble and Jose Lopez will need them to keep things very clean at the back to have a chance of making it out of Barcelona unscathed.
The Racing coach has kept their possession style flexible and has built a good relationship with the players, but they will need to be very accurate in their defensive positioning to avoid being caught in Barcelona's high press.
Zabiri can get Racing’s name on the scoresheet
Raphinha, Barça's chief menace, has already bagged six LaLiga 2026/2027 goals in four games to lead the club charts and should get on the scoreboard at some stage here. But Racinguistas also have a capable goal-getter in Yassir Zabiri, who has three LaLiga 2026/2027 strikes in four appearances and can at least give his side a chance of getting on the board by adding to the four he contributed in Racing's last five games.
Over 2.5 goals at 17/100 suits the firepower that Barça have available to them while both teams to score, at around 3/4, should also be a live bet if Racing can get through once. But the home side are built to win this contest and will do so at a canter.
