Racing-Osasuna, a tribal game


Today's game: Racing-Osasuna.The team from Santander is suffering in their stadium to win their matches; their six points noe in the League were taken away from El Sardinero stadium , where Racing is used to being supported by their strenght and comfort, but things seem to be different this year: three matches, zero points.

Anyway, Osasuna shouldn't relax on their last figures and the previous comments, as the teams Racing played against weren't those called as "easy". The first game this year was against Getafe at El Sardinero, and then Barcelona F.C. and Valencia F.C. visited the stadium in Santander.

Locals think that the game today is a starting point for posible rivals to get points, so they are sure their chances to win are higher than at the beginning of the season. Their next rivals in El Sardinero are: Athletic, Deportivo, Jerez, Tenerife and Valladolid.

A big problem for Racing's coach is how to get a better defence of their goalkeeper. They are now the worst team as they were scored nine goals home ( 8 goals between Getafe and Barcelona ). They may think that last Sunday against Zaragoza F.C. could be a good reference, as they got a draw after their start 2-0- but I think they still have problems to defend.

On the other hand, it's five years now since Osasuna haven't won in El Sardinero, though confrontations between Racing and Osasuna have always been interesting and motivating for the Navarrians. One out of two confrontations were for the reds side.
After 18 games between both teams, 3 were Osasuna victories, 6 ended in a draw and Osasuna lost other 9 times.

About the referee, Iturralde González, who was, actually, the same as last year and the game ended in a draw (1-1). It seems to be a good referee for Camacho's team, with 5 victories, 5 draws and only 2 defeats.

The probable two initial teams are:

Racing: Toño, Morris, Christian, Torrejón, Pinillos, Colsa, Lacen, Arana, O. Serrano, Munitis and Tchité. ( 4-4-2 ). What two dangerous forwards!!!

Osasuna: Ricardo, Flaño, Josetxo, Monreal, Azpilicueta, Neokuman, Puñal, Juanfran, Camuñas, Aranda and Pandiani. similar ( 4-4-2 ).

P.D.: A GOOD VIDEO TO REMEMBER

AUPA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!
