Racing de Santander will mark their long-awaited return to La Liga on Sunday when they host Villarreal at Campos de Sport de El Sardinero. The Green and Whites secured promotion after winning the 2025-26 Segunda Division, ending a lengthy absence from Spain’s top flight that began after the 2011-12 campaign. Their preparation for the new season has been mixed, with only one victory from six pre-season matches, but the 4-1 win over Sporting Gijon provided some encouragement. Racing have also strengthened their squad with seven summer arrivals, including goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala and the return of experienced midfielder Sergio Canales. Villarreal enter the campaign with significantly greater expectations after finishing third in La Liga last season and collecting 72 points from 38 matches. Their impressive campaign secured Champions League qualification, although the club will be looking for a much better European showing after earning just one point from eight league-stage matches
