"Jose Lopez's men are once again almost universally regarded as a standout top-six contender once again this year. Last seen falling to a 2-1 loss away at Eibar, the Whites will know the importance of claiming an immediate Segunda response here. Nevertheless, opening Sunday's fixtures sat in bronze medal position and knowing that they can skyrocket their way back into the automatic promotion spots,"
"As for the visitors, missing out on what they had billed as a potential opportunity last week as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home against Cadiz, Burgos have shown some recent inconstancies. Sacrificing their spot in the play-off places, Luis Ramis' men have recorded just a single win from any of their previous four Segunda appearances and they look set for what should be another stern examination when they travel to the Stadium El Sardinero this weekend."
Racing Santander sit in third and can reach the automatic promotion places with a home win over Burgos at El Sardinero. Racing have lost just once at home since September 27, recently beating Mirandes 1-0 and securing a Copa del Rey scalp with a 2-1 win over Villarreal in December. They lost 2-1 away at Eibar last time and require an immediate Segunda response. Burgos drew 1-1 with Cadiz, have just one win in their last four league matches, lost 2-0 to Valencia in the Copa del Rey on January 15, and have won three of their last nine matches.
