Racing Santander vs Mirandes Prediction & Betting Tips (9 February)

This Racing Santander team, first in the standings at the start of this day, lost its place to Castellon earlier in the weekend. The objective will of course be to recover its throne as leader in Liga Hypermotion. For this, Santander must win and this is the main problem, in fact, Racing lost its previous score in the championship on the turf of Granada 0-1. The Verdiblancos remained on two nice successes in the league against Las Palmas 4-1 and Deportivo La Corogne 0-1. For his part, Mirandes plays the last roles this season by being the red lantern with 20 points after 24 days played.

The maintenance mission is still in progress, but it is clear that the visiting team will have to quickly start collecting points in order to respond favorably. Good news, after 7 days of the championship without a victory including 5 defeats, Mirandes won the previous day by beating Malaga at home 2-1. The defeats were written on the lawn of Sporting Gijon 3-0, for the reception of Andorra 1-2, on the lawn of Eibar 2-1, against Cordoba at home 1-2 and Castellon, new leader 3-1. 

Very interesting in the central hinge, Pablo Ramon will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. Absences are increasing at Racing with injuries to Villalibre (10 goals in the league), young midfielder Martinez Sergio (18 years old, rotation) and the important Juan Arana (13 goals in the league last season). The French full-back Michelin went on loan to Valladolid. Quite logically, Mantilla could be back from suspension. Offensively, the coach can rely on Andres Martin (10 goals, 4 assists) and Inigo Vicente (5 goals, 13 assists). The Ecuadorian Jeremy Arevalo (20 years old, 8 goals) caught the eye of Stuttgart and logically flew to Germany.

On the other side of the median, Mirandes will be forced to play without the suspended midfielder Bauza. In the opposite direction, the important Iker Cordoba (on loan from Valencia) and Alberto Mari (1 goal, 1 assist) will be back from suspension. On the other hand, Sergio Postigo (37 years old), Iker Valera and Pablo Lopez (19 years old) are injured and apparently forced to withdraw today. Author of a victorious double against Malaga on the previous day, Carlos Fernandez (10 goals, 2 assists) seems to be the only player capable of waking Mirandes from his torpor. The 2nd top scorer in the squad in the league scored "only" 3 goals in the person of Javier Hernandez, who has just arrived on loan from Espanyol Barcelona.
