Safa vs Racing: match statistics
Safa is the clear favorite for this match, sitting in 5th place in the table with a solid record of 7 wins this season and impressive home form (56% win rate). The hosts have won 3 of their last 5 matches and showcase a stable defense at home, conceding an average of only 0.44 goals per game with a 56% clean sheet rate. Racing is in a dire situation in 12th place, having failed to win a single away match this season (0 wins, 14 losses) and conceding an average of 2.67 goals on the road. The visitors have earned no points in their last 5 matches, scoring just 1 goal while conceding 17, which demonstrates complete offensive impotence (83% of away matches without a goal scored). The disparity in quality, form, and xG statistics (1.02 vs 0.65) clearly points to a certain victory for Safa, although a slight probability of a draw stems from the hosts' occasional issues with chance conversion (44% FTS%).
