What does the friendly mean for Racing Santander?
The game serves as physical and tactical preparation ahead of the 2026‑27 campaign. Peixoto, who recently took charge, will look to fine‑tune the playing style and assess summer signings. Moreover, a visit to a Championship club provides international exposure and a chance to gauge the squad against high‑level opposition.

What impact does the game have on Racing Santander's schedule?
After the friendly, the club will refocus on the league. Official data shows Racing Santander finished the 2025 season as leaders of the Segunda División with 68 points, 21 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, and a +20 goal difference (75 scored, 55 conceded). They currently sit 7 points clear of Almería and are preparing for their next fixture against Rayo Vallecano on February 28, 2027.
What can be expected from the team's performance?
Analysts anticipate an attacking display, capitalising on recent form (WWLWL). Key players such as Rubén García and Álvaro González will be central, while the defence aims to maintain the solidity that allowed only 55 goals conceded last season. The friendly's result won’t affect the standings, but it will provide clues on the squad’s evolution under the new coach.
