The Racing Santander squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Albacete Balompié, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Albacete Balompié, who had 4 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process. With 8 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league. This season they have struggled with consistency in front of goal, failing to score in 9 of their 17 league games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 4 draws in 8 home league games.
Grabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Levante will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Lugo. They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Levante's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Hernán Pérez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. When playing away from home, they are not doing themselves any favours, having consistently failed to keep a clean sheet for the last 29 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
