Racing Santander, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Eibar will have left the Racing Santander squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Eibar who had 14 attempts and 6 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. At home this season, they have scored in 10 of their 11 home games and notched up 6 clean sheets.
Santander will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Goalscorer Peque Fernández will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Racing Santander.
Cartagena, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Cartagena produced a stunning 4-1 home win over Villarreal B. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Villarreal B's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Julián Calero will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 20 of their 22 games overall.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 11 away league games.
Alfredo Ortuño will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Cartagena.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Racing Santander came out on top, winning the match 2-3.
The last 3 matches between Efesé and Santander show that Efesé have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
Cartagena have lost the last 3 times they've faced Santander in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Santander manager José Alberto López ahead of this clash, with Lago Junior (COVID-19) missing out, which gives Alberto López a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Cartagena manager Julián Calero has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
