*These figures were accurate at the time of publishing.
It was business as usual for Barcelona over the weekend, as they cruised to a 4-2 victory at Levante.
Hansi Flick's troops have been unstoppable this season, winning all six of their competitive fixtures while scoring at least four goals in five of them.
The Catalan giants are the only team in La Liga with a perfect record. They are leading the standings at the time of writing, three points above second-placed Real Madrid.
Stretching back to their previous campaign, Barcelona have won 21 consecutive home games in the Spanish top flight. As they look to extend that streak on Wednesday night, Flick will be unable to call upon the services of the injured Roony Bardghji (ACL), Frenkie de Jong (meniscus), Jesse Bisiwu (hamstring), and Gerard Martin (nose).
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha have both scored six goals this season and are joint top scorers in La Liga, with both players expected to start once again.
On the other hand, Racing Santander engineered a comeback win against Deportivo Alaves last weekend, thanks to Yassir Zabiri's brace.
The Moroccan forward has scored five goals in as many La Liga assignments this term, although, interestingly, he is yet to find the net on the road.
Racing Club have lost both of their away games this season and have not won a top-flight fixture away from home since January 2012.
Head coach Jose Alberto Lopez will have to do without Andres Martin and Simon Eriksson, as both players are ruled out with knee and shoulder injuries, respectively. Andre Almeida is also suspended for the Cantabrian side following his sending-off against Alaves last weekend.
Barcelona have been victorious in the last eight clashes between these teams and are unbeaten in the last 18 H2Hs, stretching back to the 2003/04 season. Although this will be the first La Liga encounter between these outfits since March 2012, it is worth mentioning that Barcelona eliminated Racing Club from the Copa del Rey in January this year.

Whispers Predicts: Barcelona 4-0 Racing Santander
Priced at 1/10 (1.10), Barcelona are clearly favoured by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
Not only have the Catalan side won eight games in a row, but they also came out on top the last eight times these teams clashed. Considering Racing Club's recent results on the road, anything other than a comfortable victory for Barcelona would be a huge surprise.
It is also worth mentioning that Racing Santander did not score a single goal in their last six meetings with Barcelona, so we fancy under 0.5 Racing Santander goals at 21/20 (2.05).
Furthermore, Lamine Yamal has scored at least twice in each of his last three La Liga appearances, so over 1.5 Lamine Yamal goals can be backed at 2/1 (3.00).
> Over 3.5 Barcelona goals at 13/20 (1.65) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – No at 1/1 (2.00) | Likelihood: Probable
> To win both halves: Barcelona at 13/20 (1.65) | Likelihood: Probable
> Barcelona & BTTS – No at 21/20 (2.05) | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct Score: 4-0 at 8/1 (9.00) | Likelihood: Outsider
