Racing Santander and Villarreal square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Copa del Rey game. Given their attacking potentials, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-2 draw. The Segunda Division side are flying, unbeaten in five matches (WWWWD) and averaging 3.3 total goals per game, while they have scored in 100% of those fixtures. Even with Ezkieta and Michelin sidelined, Racing still look solid, conceding just 1.0 goals per match and keeping clean sheets in 40% of their games. Their home numbers are also encouraging, with 2.75 average goals per game and a points-per-game return of 2.00.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, travel to Santander fresher after their postponed La Liga fixture and boast strong attacking metrics of their own, averaging 3.4 total goals per game and scoring 2.2 on average. Marcelino’s side have won 60% of their recent matches, but away from home they concede 1.33 goals per game, leaving room for Racing to compete. Head-to-head history favors Villarreal, who have won 60% of meetings, though 80% of those clashes produced over 1.5 goals.
As both teams average over 3.0 total goals per game, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 2.5 goals. Additionally, BTTS and BTTS First Half markets seem appealing as Racing have scored in every recent match and Villarreal in 80%.
This Copa del Rey match will be played on Wednesday 17 December 2025 at 18:00.
