Match preview

Racing Santander welcome an in-form Alaves side to El Sardinero for round five of the La Liga campaign. The hosts sit 13th in the table with four points from four matches, having shown an entertaining but defensively porous style that has seen them score seven goals while conceding eight.

Alaves have enjoyed an impressive start, sitting second in the standings with ten points from a possible twelve. Unbeaten through four rounds with ten goals scored and only three conceded, the visitors have demonstrated sharp attacking efficiency led by Lucas Boye and Mariano Diaz, who have combined for seven goals.

With Racing Santander yet to keep a clean sheet this season and Alaves scoring in every fixture to date, this clash presents an intriguing dynamic between Racing's productive home attack and Alaves' well-rounded consistency.

Racing Santander have scored five goals across their two home fixtures this season, averaging 2.5 goals scored per match at El Sardinero, but have also conceded in every single league match played so far. Alaves have found the net in all four of their league outings, averaging 2.5 goals scored per game overall behind the form of Lucas Boye and Mariano Diaz. Given Racing Santander's zero clean sheets and potent home output, both sides possess strong pathways to finding the net.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
