Osasuna’s home record contrasts sharply with Racing Santander’s away results, while M. Zabiri and A. Budimir provide the central scoring question.
Before kickoff
The question at El Sadar
The clearest contrast is Osasuna’s home record against Racing Santander’s away results. Osasuna have 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss at home, scoring 2 goals and conceding 3, with 2 clean sheets. Racing have lost all 4 away games, scoring 4 goals and conceding 16. That gives Osasuna the stronger platform, although their home scoring figures remain modest.
Two different teams?

Two leading scorers, uneven form
M. Zabiri carries Racing’s main scoring threat, with 7 goals in 8 appearances. A. Budimir has scored 6 goals in 8 appearances for Osasuna. Across the supplied 8-match form sample, Osasuna’s sequence is Draw, Win, Win, Loss, Loss, Loss, Draw, Loss; Racing’s is Draw, Loss, Win, Loss, Win, Loss, Loss, Draw. Neither sequence offers a settled platform, so the individual finishers may be central to the contest.
Team news and the provisional table
Osasuna will be without A. Bonel, R. Del Castillo, J. Herrando and A. Oroz. K. Barja and R. Moro are questionable. Racing will be without S. Eriksson. In the provisional La Liga table, Osasuna are #16 with 8 points from 8 games, while Racing are #15 with 8 points from 8 games. Barcelona lead with 24 points, leaving both teams 16 points behind.
Can Racing’s 7-goal Zabiri breach a home defence that has kept 2 clean sheets, or will Budimir’s 6-goal return decide the attacking contest?
