Soccer Betting Verdict: League champions Barcelona begin their headline guard struggle on the road, against Racing Santander. The hosts are perennial dwellers in the keister half of the league table and as such are at the huge shortcoming going into this match.
You need only look at their price tag to get an idea of how off the target the halt is between these two sides; Barca outclasses the hosts in talent, quality and bowels of the earth. At +1200 Racing Santander are outrageous underdogs.
Barca are hotshot favourites (surprise, surprise) at -450 to bring home the bacon outright and to all intents and purposes they are the only reasonable bet. A defeat at Racing Santander is simply unthinkable.
Soccer Spontaneous Picks: Barcelona -450 | Over 3 -130
