Racing Santander vs Barcelona Current Form and Standings

Racing Santander have already caused a big upset in the Copa del Rey thus far, as they managed a massive 2-1 home victory over La Liga and current European qualification occupants Villarreal. A good run of form has somewhat slowed down of late, but Racing will be hoping this game can be the one to get them back on track despite the size of the task.

Barcelona have only faced one round of this competition so far and came away with a comfortable 2-0 away victory over third-tier Guadalajara. The Catalan side are heavy favourites for this one again but will have to be wary against opposition who have a history of taking a big scalp.
