Racing Santander’s been erratic, their displays fluctuating from brilliant to head-scratching. Meanwhile, Real Sporting de Gijon’s scrapping through a rough patch, their backline looking shaky.
Looking at past contests, it’s a crapshoot. Racing Santander’s enjoyed the advantage lately, but the game’s got a short memory.

If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Racing Santander at 1.05 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Club Friendly Games this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — analytics guys would avoid.
Real Sporting de Gijon’s 66 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The smart money’ll likely target the Draw 13.75 — these derbies often follow scripts, and occasion can kill attacking flow.
