The defending champions have looked in ominous form in recent weeks, scoring 26 goals in six games including the Champions League mauling of Feyenoord.
It looks a tough assignment for a Racing side despite their decent start to life back in the top flight following promotion last season.
They have won two of their last three league games, including the weekend victory over Alaves.
