Barcelona - Racing Santander: match preview
Barcelona have made an excellent start to the new season and are truly living up to their status as Spanish champions. The team have won every match this season. They have scored five goals in three of their five La Liga matches this season. In addition, they scored another five goals against Feyenoord in their UEFA Champions League match. Things were not quite as straightforward in their previous game, as the Catalans conceded two goals against Levante, although they still managed to win 4:2. They sit top of the La Liga table with a goal difference of 21:4 and a three-point lead over Real Madrid.
Racing Santander played in the second tier, La Liga 2, last season and produced excellent results there. They collected 82 points over 42 rounds and finished top of the table, earning direct promotion to Spain's top flight. Their start has not been particularly consistent, but it is still quite a good one for a newly promoted La Liga side. The team have won twice in their opening five rounds, lost twice and drawn once. They currently have seven points from five rounds and seven points in their tally. Their goal difference is 9:9, and they sit 10th in the table.
