Linares take on the visitors Racing Santander in the round 1/32-finals of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Thursday, December 22st at Estadio Municipal de Linarejos (Linares).
Linares constantly have to endure restarts on club’s project. The Little Blues has been around since 1909. But how many times did you have to start again after the previous version of the project went bankrupt. The centennial anniversary was also celebrated in 2009. During all this time, it seems to have managed to gain a foothold, from the 2nd attempt, in Segunda-B, at the 3rd level of Spanish football. But even there the results are modest, it is the middle peasant in its group. At the same time, the club managed to get past its first opponent in the cup, Union Adarve: they scored twice at the end of the 1st half, and kept the victory on the road 2-1. But just this was the last element of a successful series, after which a protracted decline began.

Racing entered the Segunda, but it does not look competitive there. The Green-Whites are remembered for the fact that many well-known football players played for this team. At the turn of the century, it turned out to be a fairly long and stable performance in the Primera and even try their luck in European competitions. But at the moment, the “representatives” have just got back to the Segunda, where they returned after winning their group in a lower division. Of course, we expected a struggle for survival this season, and now the results are extremely mediocre. In October - early November, it turned out to be a rather long, 8-match unbeaten streak. But in the last month, instead, there were continuous defeats that returned to the relegation zone. And then - a start in the cup, but is it needed in such a situation?
This will be the first match in a long while between these teams. Still, Racing plays several levels higher than Linares. So we dare to bet on the victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Racing Santander to win.
