Knowing that they can work their way up to the automatic promotion spots on Sunday evening, Racing Santander welcomes Burgos to the El Sardinero Stadium.
Starting with the hosts, while Racing Santander may have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, Jose Lopez’s men are again almost universally regarded as a standout top-six contender this year. The Whites were last seen in a 2-1 defeat at Eibar and will know the importance of claiming an immediate Segunda response here. Nevertheless, Sunday’s opening match saw them in a bronze medal position and knowing they can claw their way back into the automatic promotion spots, the Cantabria-based team will be excited to return to home soil this weekend. Santander was last seen at the El Sardinero stadium, recording a horror 1-0 win against Mirandes. Since September 27, Santander has only suffered one Segunda defeat in front of its own supporters. Sunday’s hosts famously collected a Copa del Rey scalp in December when they ended 2025 with a 2-1 win against La Liga team Villarreal and will look to make another promotion statement here.
As for the visitors, who missed out on a potential opportunity last week when they ultimately had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home to Cadiz, Burgos have shown some inconsistencies of late. Luis Ramis’ men sacrifice their place in the play-off places and have recorded just one win in their previous four Segunda appearances. They look set for what should be another stern test when they travel to the El Sardinero Stadium this weekend. Similarly, when Burgos saw their Copa del Rey adventure come to an end on January 15 when they suffered a routine 2-0 defeat to Valencia, they have also won just a trio of their last nine encounters on all fronts. With their recent struggles underlined by a nightmare 3-0 loss to Malaga on January 23, Sunday’s have managed just one Segunda victory on their travels since mid-November. It should also be emphasized that Ramis’ side have scored zero in all their last three consecutive matches away from Castile and León.
