Now, before the match begins, let’s take a look at Mansion Sports’ prediction for the Barcelona vs Racing Santander lineups September 2026 below!

Both Teams’ Conditions Ahead of the Match

Barcelona

Barcelona have not lost their momentum this season. The Catalan side’s form has been truly outstanding, recording five consecutive La Liga victories and scoring 21 goals in the process.

Hansi Flick’s side will enter this match after securing a 4-2 victory over Levante, while they opened their Champions League league phase with a 5-1 win over Feyenoord last week.

Barcelona sit at the top of the La Liga table, three points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, and the competition is already showing signs of becoming an intriguing title race this season.

Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have each scored six goals in La Liga this season, with Raphinha operating in a central area.

With the exceptional quality they possess in the final third, it is difficult not to favor Barcelona in any match at the moment.

Barcelona and Racing have faced each other 101 times across all competitions throughout history, with Barcelona leading the overall head-to-head record with 63 wins compared to Racing’s 17 victories.

Racing Santander

Racing have not beaten the Catalan side since January 2004, while their last eight meetings in all competitions have all been won by Barcelona.

The visitors will certainly know that they face a major challenge on Wednesday, but this season has started very promisingly for the Green and Whites, who won the Segunda Division last season to secure their return to this level of competition.

Jose Alberto Lopez’s side will enter this match after securing a 2-1 victory over Alaves.

That result gave them a record of two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their five matches this season, enough to place them 10th in the table with seven points.

Racing have been impressive in attack this season, scoring nine goals, but they have also conceded nine, which is the highest total among the top 11 teams.

Lopez’s side have lost both of their away league matches this season, and the promoted team now face arguably the toughest away fixture of their campaign.

Barcelona vs Racing Santander Lineups September 2026

Barcelona (4-3-3)

Regarding Barcelona’s squad condition, they will once again be without Frenkie de Jong (knee) and Roony Bardghji (knee), but aside from those two players, the hosts are in fairly good condition to face Racing.

Gerard Martin was substituted at half-time against Levante after suffering a facial injury in the first half.

The Spanish player is expected to remain available for selection, but he may be given a rest for this match, with Andreas Christensen potentially coming into the lineup.

Anthony Gordon is once again expected to feature alongside Raphinha and Yamal in the final third, while Xavi Espart is expected to retain his position at left-back.

Racing Santander (4-2-3-1)

Regarding Racing’s squad condition, Simon Eriksson (shoulder), Andres Martin (knee), and Andre Almeida (suspension) are confirmed to miss the match against Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Head coach Lopez could name the same lineup that started against Alaves, with Sergio Canales expected to once again be part of the starting XI.

Yassir Zabiri has been in outstanding form this season, scoring five goals in five appearances, and the 21-year-old will once again feature in the attack.

With Barcelona in impressive form and Racing Santander also enjoying a promising start to the season, this match at Camp Nou will be an intriguing encounter on matchday six of LaLiga 2026/2027.

Both teams arrive with different conditions and records, making this match an opportunity for Barcelona to continue their positive run while also presenting a tough test for Racing at the home of the league leaders.
