Racing Club, conversely, have built their campaign on a sturdy defensive foundation, conceding less than a goal per game on average across the season. Their recent form, however, shows a slight dip in offensive output, with only 0.7 goals scored in their last three matches, balanced by an exceptionally tight defense that has conceded just 0.3 per game in that same span. Their away form is respectable, with a 40% win rate and only 0.8 goals conceded per match. They are a disciplined side, though their average of 14.2 fouls per game and 0.3 red cards per match indicates a robust, sometimes physical, approach.
