Racing Santander desperately need points on Sunday, Jan 10 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Atletico Madrid come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Racing Santander travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Atletico Madrid and Racing Santander have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Atletico Madrid clear favorites, but Racing Santander have shown they can grind out results. Expect Atletico Madrid to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
