Copa del Rey Betting Preview: Racing Club vs Barcelona

La Liga 2 leaders Racing Club host Barcelona, who sit top of La Liga, in this Copa del Rey round of 16 game at Estadio El Sardinero, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Thursday 15 January.

The Both Teams to Score market provides an opportunity to wager on BTTS Yes and we really like the -156 that’s available. We expect Racing Club and Barcelona to both find the net.

Racing Club Santander were beaten 3-2 at Estadio El Sardinero in their last game, being turned over at home to Real Zaragoza in La Liga 2. Los Racinguistas had four shots on target and enjoyed 70% possession, with Gustavo Puerta and Manex Lozano scoring one goal each.

La Liga leaders Barcelona got a win in their most recent league game. It was on their travels where Espanyol were beaten 2-0 in the Derbi Barceloní at RCDE Stadium. Hans-Dieter Flick's side had six shots on goal and enjoyed 69% possession, while Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski were on the scoresheet.

On Sunday, Barca claimed a 3-2 victory against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Barca enjoyed 71% possession and had eight shots on target, with Robert Lewandowski finding the net twice and Raphinha also on the scoresheet.

In their previous Copa del Rey engagements, Racing claimed a 2-1 win when hosting Villarreal, while Barca triumphed 2-0 away to Guadalajara.
