Real Madrid v Racing Santander L I V E !

Real Madrid are home hoping to keep pace with league leaders Barcelona when they take on Racing Santander in week 11 of La Liga. Racing will be playing their first match under new manager Miguel Angel Portugal.

The side managed by Chilean boss Manuel Pellegrini were winners in the Madrid derby their last time out by a score of 2-3. However, they are also coming off of a disappointing and even humiliating showing in the Copa del Rey when they were eliminated by 3rd division side Alcorcon by 5-1 on aggregate. Real are in 2nd place of the league table with 25 points and sit 1 point behind 1st place Barcelona and 3 ahead of 3rd place Sevilla. Albiol is listed as doubtful for this match.

The visiting Racing Santander are in the midst of an awful campaign. Through 10 matches they have managed just 1 victory to go with 4 draws and 5 losses and they sit in 17th place of the La Liga log with 7 points, 2 behind the 16th place Villarreal. They lost their last league match at home to Athletic Bilbao by a score of 0-2 at the Estadio El Sardinero and it was that result that cost former manager Juan Carlos Mandia his job.
