Racing played bad football in last weeks and also their big hope, the return of Zigic, didn’t brought the success back to Santander. They missed their main targer, the international business, so I am sure that some of the players will have motivation-trouble in next weeks, because this is the way it works. At same time they will be without some important players like Marcano, Lacen and Kuccin.

Atletico will have a full squad for this and I really hope that Banega is going to be in the starting lineup, because this shoudl gevi Atletico a fantastic boost for this match. The 20 years old midfielder was the key against Numancia. He cames in second half instead Raul Garcia and from this point on everything seemed to be changed. From 0-0 to 3-0 for Atletico was a short way of only 40 minutes. Also Simao is integrated after a lot of trouble with the coach and the team. I think Atletico should be much stronger team today.
