Osasuna vs Racing Santander Prediction

Osasuna host Racing Santander on 18 October 2026 at 15:00 in La Liga round nine. Los Rojillos have won just one point from their last five league matches and suffered a 5-2 defeat to Betis that exposed serious defensive frailties. Jagoba Arrasate's squad is stretched thin with injuries to Barja, Del Castillo, Herrando, Moro and Oroz. Racing Santander arrive in Pamplona off a 2-2 draw with Valencia and have maintained an attacking approach, with six straight league outings producing over 2.5 goals. Their away form remains a concern, however, as they continue to struggle on the road and concede frequently. Goalkeeper Simon Eriksson is absent but was not expected to start anyway.

Form and H2H

Osasuna have averaged 0.90 goals for and 2.21 goals against per match over their last ten outings, recording two wins, two draws and six losses. Racing Santander's away record shows three wins, three draws and four losses across their last ten, with 1.80 goals for and 2.51 goals against per game. Both sides have shown vulnerability at the back, and Racing's attacking intent combined with Osasuna's defensive problems suggests a high-scoring encounter.

Best Bet

Osasuna 2 - 2 Racing Santander. Both teams have demonstrated the capacity to score and concede in recent weeks. Osasuna's leaky defence and Racing's consistent attacking output point toward a draw with goals at both ends. At Mostbet, a home win pays 1.98, a draw 3.5, and an away win 3.65.

Odds to Watch

Over 2.5 goals appeals given Racing's six consecutive league matches with over 2.5 goals and Osasuna's defensive struggles. The 1X2 market at 1xBet offers a home win at 2.04, a draw at 3.72, and an away win at 3.88. Over 1.5 goals is the floor for this fixture, with both teams capable of finding the net multiple times.
