AI match recap
Racing return to El Sardinero after an ugly pair of away results, but their home performances have carried far more conviction. Valencia arrive in the relegation fight with Javier Aguirre taking charge for the first time and an attack depleted by absences. The key contest is whether Racing’s creative line can play through Valencia’s new midfield screen before their own high full-backs are punished in transition. Expect an urgent, emotionally charged match rather than a cautious one.
Injuries and absences
Valencia’s confirmed absences strip depth from the forward and wide areas, making Hugo Duro, Javi Guerra and the available wide starters central to Aguirre’s first plan. Racing list Simon Eriksson as unavailable, while the readiness of returning internationals Zabiri and Pablo García is the more immediate selection issue.
