Racing Santander welcome Barcelona to El Sardinero in a highly-anticipated Copa del Rey matchup. As Hansi Flick's men look unstoppable at the moment, our prediction leans toward a 3-1 away win. Os Racinguistas have been difficult to beat in La Liga 2 this season, averaging 1.90 points per game and scoring 2.00 goals per match, though absentees Arana, Michelin, Sergio, and Villalibre still leave the squad stretched. Their home numbers (1.60 PPG, 2.20 goals scored) show they can trouble anyone, and with 80% BTTS across recent fixtures, Racing matches tend to stay lively.
Barcelona head into Thursday's clash as heavy favourites after winning the Spanish Super Cup final 3-2 against Real Madrid, though Frenkie de Jong is suspended for this fixture. Hansi Flick is expected to rotate, with Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, and Marcus Rashford likely returning to the XI. Even with changes, Barça’s form is exceptional: 100% wins, 2.90 goals scored per game, and 50% clean sheets, including four straight away victories.
Racing’s spirit at home could keep things competitive, but Barcelona’s depth should ultimately tell. Given Barca's excellent form, Away Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Over 2.5 goals and BTTS as Racing are capable of scoring in front of home fans.
This Copa del Rey match will be played on Thursday 15 January 2026 at 20:00.
