Valencia will be hoping to build on a 3-0 win against Murcia when they travel to Racing Santander in this weekend’s La Liga clash. Valencia started off badly under new boss Ronald Koeman losing 2-0 to Rosenborg in the UEFA Champions League, but have recovered in the La Liga.

Valencia will be keen to get their La Liga campaign back on track and reassure their supporters with a convincing win at Racing Santander. However the side is hampered by injuries to key players.

Fernandes is out with an undisclosed injury, while Garcia and Edu are being monitored on a day-to-day basis with undisclosed injuries. Additionally defender Alexis will be sidelined for around four months with a knee injury.

The match against Racing Santander will allow Valencia to reinforce the fact that they are genuine contenders for a top four spot this season. Valencia are fourth on the La Liga table with 24 points from 12 games.

Meanwhile Racing Santander will be hoping to build on a good start this season when they welcome Valencia to Estadio El Sardinero this Sunday. In their last game, Racing beat Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 away from home and they will look to continue this winning streak against Valencia.

Racing Santander will be without Moraton, Navas and Valle Trueba; all of whom are being monitored on a day-to-day basis with undisclosed injuries. Racing Santander are seventh on the La Liga table with 20 points from 12 games.

Last season, Racing Santander beat Valencia 1-0 in this fixture and would dearly love to repeat the same this time around as well. Watch Racing Santander vs Valencia Live on free-football.tv.
