Racing Santander have a tough task ahead on Thursday when they face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey. While Los Racinguistas are struggling to win games, Barça are coming off another Super Cup win over rivals Real Madrid. See our best bet and why we picked it in this match prediction below.
The last time Racing Santander faced Barcelona was 14 years ago in the Spanish top flight, and they've since been relegated to the lower divisions. But Los Racinguistas are plotting a comeback as they top La Liga 2 with the most wins and most goals scored.
Yet, they've slipped up in the last three games, drawing 1-1 to Huesca and Valladolid before losing their latest game to relegation- bound Real Zaragoza (3-2). That's just not the kind of form you want to be entering with against Barça, who've ten straight games and just capped that run off with another title for German coach Hansi Flick.
The reigning Copa del Rey champions, Barcelona, are running riot on everyone as of late, and even with B-team players, Racing should be no exception. They've scored a whopping 27 goals in that ten-game span, conceding only eight goals, with five clean sheets.

Our Racing Santander vs Barcelona Prediction
Racing Santander has been widely impressive. But Barcelona is literally operating on a different level and is in impeccable form with ten straight wins. We see the Blaugrana winning with at least a two-goal difference.
They're only behind Bayern for the most goals scored in a top-five European league, netting 2.7 per game. What's more, they only allow 1.05 per game this season against much tougher opponents than Santander. Hence, our Racing Santander vs Barcelona prediction is Barcelona -1.
