Osasuna's Search for Consistency
Osasuna have endured a difficult spell after taking seven points from their first three league matches. They have since collected just one point from their last five games, with defeats to Alaves, Espanyol, Atletico Madrid and Real Betis contributing to their slide to 16th in the table.
Their latest result was a 5-2 loss away to Real Betis. Osasuna have conceded heavily in recent weeks and will need to tighten up defensively if they are to take advantage of playing at Estadio El Sadar.
Ante Budimir remains their main attacking threat, having scored six goals in eight appearances this season. However, Osasuna will be without Aimar Oroz, Jorge Herrando and Romain Del Castillo, while Kike Barja and Raul Moro are doubts.

Racing Santander's Away Struggles
Racing Santander have also collected eight points from their opening eight league games, leaving them 15th following their return to the top flight. They have found the transition challenging after winning the second tier last season, with four defeats already on their record.
Jose Alberto’s side drew 2-2 with Valencia in their most recent outing, following losses to Celta Vigo and Barcelona. Their defensive performances have been particularly concerning, with the team conceding five goals against Celta and seven against Barcelona.
Yassir Zabiri has been a bright spot, scoring seven goals in eight appearances, and will lead the line again. Sergio Canales is also expected to feature, while Simon Eriksson is a doubt with a shoulder problem.

Osasuna vs. Racing Santander Prediction: Osasuna to Capitalise at Home
Racing Santander’s recent defensive record raises concerns ahead of this trip, with heavy defeats to Barcelona and Celta Vigo exposing their vulnerability at the back. The over 2.5 goals market is an option, given the number of goals conceded by both sides in recent matches.
Osasuna will also be looking to make the most of home advantage and put an end to their poor run. The Osasuna to be winning at half-time market is another option for those expecting the hosts to start strongly.
Our main selection is Osasuna to win. Although the hosts have struggled for results recently, Racing’s defensive issues offer them an opportunity to claim three valuable points at Estadio El Sadar.
