Racing Santander face Villarreal in the Copa del Rey with confidence built on recent momentum and attacking output. Villarreal arrive with greater individual quality but mixed results across competitions, making this a tie shaped by control rather than reputation. The contrast between form and level adds tension to the matchup.
Racing Santander’s recent run shows a side growing in belief. Four wins and a draw across their last five matches highlight consistency, with goals flowing in most outings.
The 4-0 home win over Eibar underlined how dangerous they can be when allowed to play on the front foot.
Away victories at Cadiz, Burgos, and Ponferradina showed composure rather than caution.
Racing have been comfortable committing numbers forward, scoring at least twice in four of those five matches. Conceding only once across that stretch reflects balance rather than risk.
In the Copa del Rey, Racing have scored six goals across two matches and conceded once.
Those performances suggest they will not approach this tie passively, even against top flight opposition.
Villarreal’s recent results have swung sharply between control and collapse. Wins against Getafe and Real Sociedad showed their attacking depth, while heavy defeats at Dortmund and home loss to Copenhagen exposed defensive fragility under pressure.
In the Copa del Rey, Villarreal have progressed without dominance. The goalless draw at Antoniano required penalties, highlighting a tendency to manage games rather than overwhelm opponents early.
Despite that, their attacking numbers in the competition remain strong, with eight goals scored across two matches.
Away from home, Villarreal tend to play more directly. That approach often leads to open phases, especially when opponents are willing to press rather than sit deep.
Villarreal to win at 2.25 odds stands as the best bet, based on their higher ceiling and ability to convert chances even when control fluctuates. Racing’s momentum is respected, but Villarreal’s quality in decisive moments gives them the edge.
That same dynamic supports over 2.5 goals at 2.13 odds. Racing’s attacking confidence and Villarreal’s tendency to trade chances point toward an open contest.
Those trends align with a Villarreal 3-1 correct score prediction at 14.00 odds. Racing are capable of contributing, but Villarreal’s sharper edge in the final third is likely to decide the tie.
