Getafe vs Racing Santander: Both teams to score - Yes
Getafe and Racing Santander both sit on an expected‑goals value of 1.35 for this clash. The model assigns a 54.9 % chance that both sides will find the net.
Both clubs enter the fixture with contrasting recent runs – Getafe have alternated wins and defeats over their last four league outings, while Racing have only one recent result, a 2‑2 draw at home against Villarreal. Injuries to Juanmi and C. Uche for Getafe and G. Guliashvili for Racing add a slight uncertainty to line‑ups.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Getafe at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Racing Santander at 37.1% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Getafe
Getafe’s recent league form reads WLWL, highlighted by a 3‑1 home win over Mallorca and a 1‑0 home victory against Osasuna. However, they also suffered a 0‑1 away loss to Elche and a 0‑3 away defeat at Alavés, showing that while they can score, they are also vulnerable. This mix of scoring and conceding backs the expectation that they will find the net but not keep a clean sheet here.
Racing Santander
Racing’s only recent league result is a 2‑2 home draw with Villarreal, where both sides scored twice. The ability to hit the net in that match, combined with the lack of recent clean‑sheet evidence, aligns with the BTTS outlook for this encounter.
Head-to-Head
In the four most recent meetings, Getafe have won twice (2‑1 in 2012 and 1‑0 in 2010), Racing have won once (1‑0 in 2011) and there has been one draw (1‑1 in 2012). Both teams have scored in three of those matches, supporting the BTTS pick.
