THE PREDICTION

Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis come into this on the back of a 2-1 defeat in El Gran Derbi away to Sevilla at the weekend. Betis remain in the top four in La Liga but have a tough match coming up against Atletico Madrid at the weekend. They have been impressive in all competitions this season and a Copa del Rey win is very much on the cards. They won the first-leg of this tie in Madrid by two goals to one against an out of form Rayo Vallecano. Off-field issues have combined with a major on-field slump to see Rayo slip into the bottom-half of the table and their 2-1 defeat at home in the first-leg of this encounter. Betis, especially with home advantage, will come into this as the favourites.
