Racing Santander v Real Madrid: unbeaten home record meets winning run

The occasion and the table

Racing Santander host Real Madrid on matchday 11 of La Liga, with kick-off at 15:15 on 1 November 2026. The two sides arrive from very different parts of the table.

Racing Santander are 14th with 11 points from 10 matches. Their record reads 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats, with 15 goals scored and 26 conceded.

Real Madrid are 3rd with 24 points from their 10 matches. They have won 8, drawn none and lost 2, scoring 25 goals and conceding 10.

Recent form and home and away records

Racing Santander come into the match on the back of two straight wins. Most recently they won 2-0 away at Ribadesella CF, and before that they beat Espanyol 2-1 at home. Prior to those results they lost 0-2 away at Osasuna. Before that they drew 2-2 at home against Valencia, and earlier still they were beaten 0-5 away at Celta Vigo. That gives 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches.

Real Madrid have won all of their last 5 matches. The most recent was a 2-1 victory away at Barcelona. Before that they beat RB Leipzig 4-1 at home, and prior to that they defeated Sevilla 4-1, also at home. Earlier they won 4-3 away at Roma, and before that they edged Villarreal 1-0 at home.

The venue could be significant. Racing Santander have not lost at home in La Liga this season: 5 matches, 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats, with 11 goals scored and 8 conceded. All five of their league defeats have therefore come on the road.

Real Madrid's away record in La Liga this season shows 5 matches, 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats, with 8 goals scored and 7 conceded. Both of their league defeats so far have come away from home.

Players to watch

Yassir Zabiri is Racing Santander's top scorer in La Liga this season with 8 goals. He is the hosts' main attacking threat, and much of their hope of troubling the visitors is likely to rest on his finishing.

Kylian Mbappe leads the way for Real Madrid with 11 league goals this season. He is the focal point in attack for a side that has found the net regularly across all of their recent matches.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to contrasting profiles. Racing Santander have conceded 26 goals in 10 league matches, which suggests a defence that has been stretched at times, particularly away from home. At home, however, their 11 goals scored in 5 matches show they can be productive in front of their own supporters.

In their last 5 matches Racing Santander scored in 3, kept a clean sheet in 1, and saw both teams score in 2. Their output has been less consistent than their opponents', with blanks against Osasuna and Celta Vigo.

Real Madrid have combined attacking output with defensive solidity. Their 25 goals scored and 10 conceded in 10 league matches reflect a well-balanced side. In their last 5 matches they scored in all 5, kept a clean sheet in 1, and saw both teams score in 4. That suggests the visitors have regularly allowed chances at the other end, even while winning.

For Racing Santander, the challenge will be to repeat the resilience of their home form against a side in a strong run. For Real Madrid, the test is to carry their recent momentum into a ground where the hosts have yet to be beaten in the league this season.
