"Starting with the hosts, while Cordoba might have claimed an essential boost earlier in the month as they snatched a 2-1 victory against Castellon, Ivan Ania's men came immediately crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion last time out. Eventually falling to what was a routine 3-1 drumming away at Andorra, the Caliphs open this weekend's fixtures holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone."
"As for the visitors, watching their sensational start to proceedings come to an abrupt end last time out, Racing Santander are seeking an immediate response here. Eventually falling to what was a shock 4-2 defeat at home against Cultural Leonesa, Jose Alberto Lopez will be desperate to prove that downbeat display in Cantabria was nothing more than a minor blip."
Cordoba sit just one point above the relegation zone after a 3-1 defeat at Andorra following a brief 2-1 win over Castellon. Defensive issues have continued with a 3-1 home loss to Las Palmas and only one Segunda clean sheet since mid-April, and eight of their last nine home matches have seen both teams score. Racing Santander suffered a surprise 4-2 home defeat to Cultural Leonesa but had previously won four of their first five matches, including a 3-1 victory over Castellon. Racing remain free-scoring and are targeting a prompt response to restore promotion ambitions.
