Racing Santander v Real Madrid: corner statistics in focus
The 15:15 fixture brings together newly promoted Racing Santander and Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, who beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Nou Camp the previous weekend. That win featured 12 corners; Robson's case for the corners market also rests on Madrid's season average of 10.8 total corners per match across all competitions.
Racing's figures need some qualification. They have conceded an average of 7.8 corners per league match, but Barcelona alone won 18 against them. Racing took none in that game, yet earned at least three in each of their other league outings. Their own corner average stands at 5.1.
Sports Mole's preview placed Racing 13th with 11 points from 10 games following their return to La Liga for 2026-27. Their last victory over Madrid was a 2-1 home win in April 2007. Madrid entered this meeting in third place with eight wins and two losses from 10 league matches, trailing Barcelona by three points and Atletico Madrid by one.
Liverpool v Arsenal: Gabriel's shooting record
For the 16:30 Premier League match, Robson's selection centers on a Gabriel shot. The Arsenal defender has attempted nine league shots this season, a rate of 1.13 per 90 minutes. Only three teammates have taken more, and one of those three is doubtful for the Liverpool game.
Robson expects absences in Arsenal's attack to strengthen their reliance on set pieces, where Gabriel is a regular target. Saka, Tzolis and Madueke are all expected to be unavailable, limiting Mikel Arteta's attacking options.
Gabriel recorded a shot in each league meeting with Liverpool last season, taking two in the Emirates fixture. His current shooting rate is above the 0.88 attempts per 90 minutes he averaged over the previous season.
Juventus v Napoli: McTominay's return and shot volume
McTominay's recent shooting provides the basis for Robson's shots-on-target selection in the 19:45 Serie A fixture. Following his return from injury, the Napoli midfielder scored twice against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League and then against Roma in the league the following weekend.
His attempts span both competitions: 14 in his past three Serie A appearances and nine across Napoli's two most recent Champions League games. Since his return earlier in October, he has put a shot on target in five of six appearances. In two of his last three games, he managed at least two on target.
McTominay's Serie A average is 1.42 shots on target per game this season, which underpins Robson's expectation that he can test Juventus goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Betfred Insights separately reported that the midfielder had returned from minor heart surgery, recording 21 attempts and four goals over his last four matches before the trip to Juventus.
The teams approached the fixture 11 points behind early leaders Inter Milan and Lazio, according to Betfred Insights, with Juventus winning only twice in their previous seven league games. Juventus's official preview identified this as the clubs' 161st Serie A meeting: the previous 160 had produced 72 Juventus wins, 39 Napoli wins and 49 draws.
Athletic Bilbao v Real Sociedad: Rincon's matchup with Guedes
The accumulator's final match is the Basque derby at 20:00. Robson's fouls assessment depends on Goncalo Guedes playing and the challenge he would pose to Hugo Rincon.
Guedes scored in both league derbies last season and drew 13 fouls over the four fixtures between the clubs, equivalent to 3.66 per 90 minutes. This season, his average across all competitions is 2.22 fouls drawn per 90.
Rincon has committed an average of 1.2 fouls per 90 minutes this season. Robson expects that figure could rise against Guedes, citing Rincon's aggressive approach to duels and the added intensity of the derby as reasons for favoring the price.
