Betis take on the visitors Osasuna in the round of 1/8-finals of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 18th at Estadio Benito Villamarin (Sevilla).
Betis trying to keep pace. The Cucumbers, or rather, their board, made a very sure step when Manuel Pellegrini was returned to Spain in 2020. During the first year of work, the Chilean was able to return the project to European competitions, in the next cycle he managed to reach the playoffs of the Europa League at the same time, and climb to 5th place in LaLiga, and, most importantly, they won the cup - a long-awaited trophy. Now the logical next step would be to rise to the top-4 of LaLiga and gain a place in Champions League. And, despite the decline in the fall, there is every chance to do it. True, last week they were distracted by the Super Cup, where they played a draw with Barcelona in regular and extra time, but then they lost on penalties.

Osasuna tries to keep European cup ambitions alive. Pamplonians under Yagoba Arrasat not only immediately rose in LaLiga, but also confidently entrenched themselves in the middle of the table in elite. There was an impression that in the new temporade it would be possible to reach a qualitatively new level - to return to European competitions. The autumn segment turned out to be successful, but it was necessary to stay at the same high level further, and this is difficult. First there were 0-2 with Real Sociedad, then only 0-0 on the Athletic field. And only Mallorca was defeated, with a minimum score of 1-0. How will it be in the cup? Osasuna confidently eliminated previous opponents, but the rivals were very weak.
Osasuna last won a head-to-head match in 2014. After that there were 9 wins for Betis with a single draw. Betis, although they flew to the Middle East for the Super Bowl, had more time before this fight, and they are hosting the opponent at home. We bet on the victory of "cucumbers".
Prediction for the match: Betis to win.
