Each has won once in their last six. Espanyol have 5 points from those six against Racing's 4, and neither record suggests a team in control of its own form.
Real Racing Club v Espanyol kicks off at 15:15 BST on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at El Sardinero in Santander, in LaLiga. Here are the details in full:
José Alberto López's side have conceded 20 goals in their last six LaLiga matches and kept no clean sheets at all. That is the number that frames everything else about Racing. They have conceded two or more in 5 of those 6, and three of the six were heavy: 2-7 away at FC Barcelona, 0-5 away at Celta Vigo, and the 0-2 defeat at Osasuna 6 days before this fixture.
The attack is not the problem. Racing have scored two or more in 4 of 6 and have 8 goals across the run, which for a side with one win is respectable. They beat Deportivo Alavés 2-1 at home on 12 September and drew 2-2 with Valencia at El Sardinero on 11 October.
Home is where their points have come from: won 1 of 2 at El Sardinero, won 0 of 4 on the road.
Manolo González's team are the opposite shape. Six goals scored, eight conceded, and only 1 of those 6 matches in which they managed two or more. Espanyol score once and then defend it, or fail to defend it. Three of their six finished 1-1 or 1-0 either way, including the 0-1 home defeat by Atlético Madrid 7 days before this game and a 1-1 draw away at Málaga CF on 9 October.
