The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 90: We're backing Racing Santander to beat Hercules at [1.96]
For our landmark 90th Bet of the Day, we're hoping that Hercules will continue to prove one of the most consistent teams in La Liga, regularly winning at home then coming up short on their travels, by backing Racing Santander to beat and overtake them tonight at [1.96].
Since their incredible victory over Barcelona at the Camp Nou on matchday two, Hercules have taken only two points from six away games, whereas they have collected ten of the last 15 points at their disposal at the Estadio Jose Rico Perez. The trend has been more dominant than ever in recent weeks, winning their last three as hosts and losing three in a row on their travels.
Racing Santander left it to the final weekend last season to secure safety but their results so far this term suggest they will survive far more comfortably on this occasion.
While the biggest scalp they've claimed so far is that of tenth-placed Real Mallorca, and they've taken just one point from seven encounters with clubs higher up the table, scoring only once, Racing have won each of their four home games against bottom-half rivals.
That good habit should be maintained this evening as Los Racinguistas have triumphed in four of their last five matches at El Sardinero, drawing the other, conceding just once in the process.
Our bet: We're backing both Racing Santander to defeat Hercules at [1.96], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £9.60. The same punt pays only £8 with Coral. Sign up for a new account now and have losing bets up to a total of £30 refunded for a week.
