Form
Barcelona have won all five of their last matches across LaLiga and the Champions League, scoring 17 goals and conceding just six in that run. Their most recent result was a 4-2 win at Levante in LaLiga, and they also recorded a 5-1 victory over Feyenoord in the Champions League. Earlier in the run, they put five past Valencia without reply. It is a record that reflects a side in sharp attacking form, even if defensive solidity has occasionally been tested.
Racing Santander have won two, lost two, and drawn one of their last five LaLiga games. Their most recent fixture ended in a 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves, though they were beaten 3-2 by Rayo Vallecano in their previous away outing. Across the five matches, Racing have scored 10 goals and conceded nine.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides came in the Copa del Rey in January 2026, when Barcelona won 2-0 away at Racing Santander. Before that, the clubs had not faced each other in a competitive fixture since the 2011-12 LaLiga season. Across the five meetings on record, Barcelona have won every match, with Racing Santander yet to score against them in this sample.
