Racing Club welcome Belgrano to Estadio Juan Domingo Perón in a fixture that pits a struggling 24th placed side against a Clausura top six outfit. The gap on paper looks wide, but the recent head to head record tells a different story entirely, Racing have won the last four meetings between these clubs by an aggregate score of 8-1. That history, combined with home advantage, explains why bookmakers still lean toward the hosts despite Belgrano’s clearly superior season.
Adrián Martínez has scored three goals in Racing’s last four matches and remains their most direct outlet in behind a shaky backline. For Belgrano, Lucas Passerini has also found the net twice in three recent appearances and leads their counter-attacking threat, while Franco Vázquez continues to dictate tempo through the middle with his range of passing.
Hot stat: Racing have beaten Belgrano in each of their last four head to head encounters, outscoring them 8-1 combined, a sharp contrast to Racing’s current 24th place standing and their recent run of three losses in five.

Racing Club vs Belgrano prediction
We predict value lies with Belgrano’s double chance here. Racing sit 24th with just three wins in eleven league games this season, while Belgrano occupy sixth place and arrive unbeaten in four. Perhaps the market is still pricing in the historical dominance Racing hold in this fixture, but current form points the other way, and the away side’s double chance offers a realistic hedge against a tight, low event match.
Racing have committed 41 fouls and picked up 8 yellow cards across their last five games compared to Belgrano’s 32 fouls and 6 cards, suggesting the hosts play a more physical, disjointed style under pressure. Belgrano’s passing numbers also hold up better across the same sample, a sign their build-up play is steadier, which should help them control spells of the match even away from home.

Team Analysis
Racing Club have lost three of their last five matches and sit at 11 points from 11 games, a poor return for a club of their stature. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 win over Estudiantes Río Cuarto, snapping a two game losing skid against Boca Juniors and Huracán. In our preview of Estudiantes Rio Cuarto vs Racing Club we called a 2-1 win for Racing with goals at both ends, and the 2-1 scoreline delivered it exactly. That win papers over a defense that has conceded 17 goals across 11 league matches, a number that should concern Romero heading into this one.
Belgrano arrive with four unbeaten results in their last four, highlighted by a narrow 1-0 win over Talleres Córdoba in their most recent match. In our preview of Talleres Cordoba vs Belgrano we leaned toward Belgrano’s double chance with a possible narrow win if the deadlock broke, and the 1-0 result landed exactly on that call. Zielinski’s side have conceded just 7 goals in 11 league games, the best defensive record outside the top five, and that discipline should travel well to Buenos Aires.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Racing Club the favourite
- Moneyline Racing Club 2.35 | Belgrano 3.25
- Draw 2.90
Racing’s odds sit around 2.35 despite their poor table position, a gap that is explained almost entirely by the one sided head to head history and home advantage at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón. Belgrano’s 3.25 price looks generous given their superior form and defensive numbers this year, and to be honest, the draw at 2.90 reflects just how unpredictable this particular fixture has become once recent form is weighed against history.
Possible Starting Lineups
Racing Club possible starting eleven
- GK: Facundo Cambeses
- DF: Gonzalo Escudero, Alfonso Espino, Ezequiel Cannavo, Nazareno Colombo
- MF: Matías Kranevitter, Leonel Pérez, Gastón Lódico, Diego Ulises Ortegoza, Ignacio Agustín Rodríguez
- FW: Adrián Martínez
Romero’s preferred 4-2-3-1 leans on Ortegoza and Rodríguez to supply Martínez, who has carried most of the goal threat lately with three in four appearances. Lódico and Pérez sit deeper to shield a defense that has leaked goals all season, though their fouling numbers suggest they may struggle for discipline against a sharper Belgrano midfield.
Belgrano possible starting eleven
- GK: Manuel Vicentini
- DF: Lisandro López, Leonardo Morales, Alexis Maldonado, Federico Ricca
- MF: Santiago Longo, Lucas Zelarayán, Franco Vázquez
- FW: Lucas Passerini, Nicolás Fernández, Juan Velázquez
Zielinski’s 4-3-3 relies on Vázquez’s passing range to break Racing’s midfield lines, while Passerini leads the front three after scoring twice in his last three outings. Lisandro López and Morales anchor a defense that has conceded just seven goals in eleven league games, the platform behind Belgrano’s unbeaten recent run.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Belgrano avoid defeat here, backed by their double chance. Racing’s home record and historical edge over this opponent keep them competitive, but Belgrano’s defensive solidity, just seven goals conceded all season, and their unbeaten run of four matches give them the better underlying profile. Expect a tight contest, perhaps a 1-1 scoreline, with goals at both ends likely given both sides have found the net in most of their recent outings. Racing’s leaky defense combined with Belgrano’s clinical finishing from Passerini makes BTTS the safer complementary pick alongside the double chance.
