Schalke managed to scrape a 1-1 draw in Spain, giving us a small profit on the evening


Just the one bet this Thursday in the Uefa Cup and it comes in Spain where I want to be against Racing Santander. The La Liga side produced one of the shocks of the season so far when triumphing 4-2 over Valencia on the weekend but, while there is a danger they could carry that momentum into their clash with Schalke, the bigger picture indicates they are struggling.

Racing have yet to pick up three points on home soil in Spain's top division so far this season and their win over high flying Valencia was just their second in total all term.
