Linares vs Racing Santander – Top Betting Picks and Tips

If you want to check some reliable Copa del Rey betting tips, including our picks for Linares vs Racing Santander, we got you covered:

Linares to Win

Both teams enter this match in somewhat poor forms. Racing Santander did manage to break a five-game losing streak though with a win over Cartagena in the last round of Segunda.

Meanwhile, Linares is without a win in their last six games in Primera RFEF, the third rank of Spanish football. However, the team did very well before this bad run of form and with Racing also struggling, Linares could pull off an upset in this match since they are hosting it.

Linares vs Racing Santander Preview: Form, News, and Possible Lineups

We expect a very close duel between these two teams, so here's a closer look at both of them ahead of their match:

Linares

Although they are struggling lately and have failed to get a win in the last six matches in the league, Linares remains just a couple of points behind the playoff zone in Primera RFEF Group 1. Overall, the team has 28 points from 17 games and they are also not that far behind the top team in the league, just eight points. So, if they can get out of their slump soon, they could be fighting for promotion.

Linares Predicted Lineup:

Juskevicius – Fernandez, Caro, Canete, Viana – Rodri, Callejon – Abeledo, Lopez, Sancris – Diaz

Racing Santander

After five losses in a row in Segunda, Racing Santander finally broke this streak by beating Cartagena, which was quite surprising since it was away from home and it was a convincing, 3-0 win. Overall, Racing Santander has 21 points from 21 rounds of Segunda, which barely puts them outside of the relegation zone at the moment.

Racing Santander Predicted Lineup:

Parera – Garcia, Alves, Sanchez, Fernandez – Aldasoro, Sainz-Maza – Vicente, Pombo, Mboula – Aias

Player to Watch: Inigo Vicente

While we can see Linares winning this game, they can only do that if they are able to stop Inigo Vicente, our player to watch in this match. The 24-year-old forward is the key figure for Racing Santander this season and Linares will have to focus on him if they want to get a positive result.

Vicente doesn't really have impressive stats this season in Segunda since he only scored three goals and added one assists for his team. Still, he is Racing's top goalscorer and he is one of their players capable to decide the game with one move.

Starting Lineups

Lineups are usually announced 1 hour before the kickoff.
