However, La Liga can always produce surprises, and Racing Santander will look to make the most of their opportunity against the league leaders. Barcelona will need to maintain their focus if they want to extend their winning streak.

Barcelona Preview and News
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona remain perfect after five matches, winning all of them. They have scored 17 goals and conceded just four, making an impressive start to their title defence. It is still early in the season, but Barca already look like one of the main contenders.
Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have been Barcelona’s standout attackers, with six goals each since the start of the campaign. Fermin Lopez is also making an impact with four goals.
We expect only a few changes from the 4-2 win over Levante. Karim Adeyemi could replace Anthony Gordon, while Dani Olmo may return to the starting XI. After Gerard Martin picked up an injury, Andreas Christensen could come into the defence.
Racing Santander Preview and News
Racing Santander have made a solid start to the 2026/27 season and currently sit 10th with seven points. Jose Alberto Lopez’s side have lost only twice, while recording two wins and one draw.
Their latest match ended in a 2-1 home victory over Deportivo Alaves. Racing fell behind early, but Yassir Zabiri turned the game around by scoring both goals.
Zabiri has been one of the early surprises in La Liga, scoring five goals in his first five matches. Barcelona will need to keep a close eye on the Moroccan forward at Camp Nou.
