Real Betis to progress in the Copa del Rey

Real Betis to progress in the Copa del Rey

On Thursday night, Real Betis host Racing Santander in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey. The Andalucian’s have a 1-0 lead from the first leg heading into this clash. The home side are favourites to progress to the last 16 of the competition.

Real Betis have been in decent form of late, with just one defeat in their last seven matches in all competitions. However, the home side’s recent Copa del Rey record is not great, as they have won just three of their last eight matches in the competition.

Betis also have a mixed home record in the Spanish Cup, having won two and lost three of their last five games in the competition. Their recent Copa del Rey games on home soil have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight home games.

Racing Santander heads into this tie in good form, topping the Segunda and having won four of their last five matches. Santander have suffered just one defeat in their last ten away games, but the trip to Seville may be a far more difficult prospect.

The visitor’s recent record in the Copa del Rey has been mixed, as they have won three and lost four of their last seven matches in the Spanish Cup. Their recent games in the competition have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four outings.

Santander have won their last two away games in the Copa del Rey but had lost the previous four games on their travels in the competition. The visitors have been poor on their travels in the Spanish Cup, conceding at least two goals in four of their last six matches.

Forebet predicts that Real Betis will record a victory in a high scoring match to progress into the next round of the competition.
