* Racing Santander have taken all three points on their last four league visits to the Reyno de Navarra.

LAST MEETING
October 31, 2010: Racing Santander 4-1 Osasuna
Racing Santander easily despatched of their Pamplona counterparts the last time these two sides met. Markus Rosenberg helped himself to a brace either side of Kennedy’s opener, and Torrejon’s 85th minute strike. A converted penalty from Javad Nekounam shortly before the hour mark was all Osasuna had to show from the game.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Osasuna: Ricardo, Damia, Flano, Lolo, Calleja, Punal, Nekounam, Cejudo, Masoud, Camunas, Lekic
Racing Santander: Tono, Pinillos, Osman, Torrejon, Christian, Lacen, Colsa, Kennedy, Munitis, dos Santos, Rosenberg

Prediction
Osasuna scraped a much-needed victory against lowly Malaga last weekend and will be looking to pile more misery on Racing after their 3-1 defeat at home to Los Blancos. I anticipate a lot of goals in this one with both teams seemingly susceptible to defensive frailties.
Osasuna 2-2 Racing
