Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Following a 2-1 loss to Levante, Deportivo La Coruna will look to return to winning ways in Segunda Division when they take on Racing Santander on Sunday afternoon. The Galicians failed to win the previous four league matches, but this clash could be the turning point for Imanol Idiakez’s troops. The 52-year-old tactician should have a full squad to choose from this time out.
Os Racinguistas, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win. Given Racing's recent defensive solidity, one goal from the away team could very well be the deciding factor in Sunday’s encounter. Inigo Sainz-Maza and Clement Michelin should be the only absentees in the visiting team. In their last meeting at “Riazor” Racing Santander defeated Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
