Racing Santander vs Elche prediction

THE FORECAST

Racing Santander has home advantage and benefits from a weaker Elche that was already thrashed 5-0 by Barcelona and concedes an average of 3.0 goals against per match; moreover, Elche has four injured players and a squad that still needs to adapt to Anselmi's new 5-man defensive system. The weather conditions (pleasant, 17-26°C, minimal precipitation) are neutral and disadvantage neither team in their playing style. Racing itself also has limited attacking power (1.0 gf/match) but takes advantage of home benefit against an unstable promoted side with a lot of transfer activity on both sides.
