Racing Santander 4-1 Real Valladolid result, stats and report

Osasuna ended a run of four La Liga defeats with a controlled 2-0 home win over Racing Santander, settling the match from the penalty spot inside nine minutes before Asier Osambela wrapped it up late on. Racing offered little in front of goal and had no answer for Osasuna's purpose.

Racing Santander made nine saves and competed like their lives depended on it, but Valencia nicked a point they barely earned. Two sides who cannot defend. One result that helps neither of them.

Ceuta dominated large portions of this La Liga 2 contest and looked set for a first win in six attempts, only for Real Valladolid substitute Carlos Hernández to equalise deep into stoppage time and deny them three points they badly needed.

Racing Santander have conceded 17 goals in their last five La Liga matches and now face a Real Sociedad side that has won four of their last five. This is not a fixture for the faint-hearted.

Racing Santander host Espanyol on Saturday afternoon in a La Liga fixture that pits two sides desperately short of form and shorter still on confidence. One of them has to win. Neither looks like they want to.

Málaga have not won in five La Liga matches. Racing Santander have conceded eighteen goals in five. Something has to give on Sunday.

Real Madrid travel to Santander on Sunday carrying a wobble in their recent form and a lengthy injury list. Racing have been shipping goals at an alarming rate, but they will fancy their chances of making this uncomfortable.

Las Palmas host a Real Valladolid side who have conceded fifteen goals in their last ten La Liga 2 matches on the road. Sunday's clash at Gran Canaria is a test of basics, desire, and whether either side has the backbone to impose themselves.
