Betis vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting tips
The Benito Villamarin is Thursday night the battle of the meeting between Real Betis and Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey. Both teams dream of cup success and will not just give away.
Real Betis:
The Real Betis supporters will recently have been slightly grit-toothed at the Christmas dinner. The Andalusians may play the best football of Spain at times and stand in a good sixth place in La Liga, but the green-wits are also a master in killing opportunities. If Real Betis had had access to an easy-scoring striker, the team would have been better off. Also last weekend the Real Betis-vanguard once again did not return home, which lost 2-1 to the last team Huesca.
Because of the lack of scoring ability, Real Betis despite its dominant view of the game almost every week is very difficult. Trainer Quique Setien is an avid supporter of the rotation system, so there is a big chance that Real Betis will take on a mix of basic players and reserves on Thursday-evening. First striker Loren Moron probably makes way for Sergio Leon, who is already good for two goals in two matches in the Spanish Cup Tournament.
Real Sociedad:
Real Sociedad has a new coach in the person of Imanol Alguacil, who for the second time in his career holds the reins in the Anoeta. He was appointed just before the turn of the year as the successor of the dismissed Asier Garitano, who was appointed as a scapegoat after a series of mediocre results. I honestly thought that was a pretty difficult decision, although Alguacil immediately provided the desired shock effect by stumbling 0-2 last weekend against the sweltering Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu. That beautiful victory gives the support in any case confidence for the near future.
Just like Real Betis, Real Sociedad will probably rotate a bit, although the Copa del Rey is the only realistic chance of a medal of honor. The Basques will not throw them with the cap on Thursday evening. However, the priority is at La Liga.
