Rayo Vallecano vs Betis Prediction & Betting tips
Already on the first day of the sixteenth final of the Copa del Rey, two first division clubs, Mallorca and Levante, said goodbye to the competition. Another should now follow in the form of last year’s semi-finalist Betis Sevilla, at least if it is up to the supporters of Rayo Vallecano.
The “Franirrojos” enjoy the reputation of being Spain’s elevator team due to numerous ascents and descents, but currently occupy only a sobering twelfth place in La Liga 2. There would be just a sense of achievement in the cup.
At Rayo Vallecano against Betis Sevilla the odds of the bookmakers in the direction of the guests from Andalusia are knocked out, who were able to book a sovereign 3-0 away win at a subclass club in the Copa last week.
Rayo Vallecano against Betis Sevilla should be included in the forecast, but also the good run of the Franirrojos, who have not lost a single of their last seven competitive games (five wins, two draws).
Nevertheless, the “Verdiblancos” have a lot more to weigh, which is why we at Rayo Vallecano against Betis Sevilla think that the bottom line for the guests is the best possible option. Finally, the bookmakers offer us highly attractive odds for the “Lobos” victory in regular time.
Rayo Vallecano:
In the summer of 2018, the small Madrid club, in the second year after relegation, won the championship in La Liga 2 and rose back to the upper house of Spanish football. After 22 losses from the 38 games there, the trip went straight back to the second division.
The Franirrojos have once again lived up to their reputation as an elevator team and had to rally again last summer. The coach Paco Jémez, who was hired in March 2019, was detained. However, most of the top performers went – including left-back Álex Moreno, who will return to the Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas today in the Verdiblancos shirt.
Most of the time, the traditional club, which is often referred to as the St. Pauli of Spain due to the political orientation of its fans, took a few years to position itself again within the reach of the promotion places. This is exactly what it looks like again this time.
Although the Vallecanos have not lost in the last five league games, they did not make any major leaps in the classification due to results such as the recent 1-1 draw at neighboring Ponferradina.
The only five defeats of the season in La Liga 2 are the second best of all 22 clubs in Spain’s second division. However, the eleven draws from 23 games also show that the very last bite and the slightest bit of luck were missing time and time again.
The fact that the Madrid club still has a lot of potential shows at Rayo Vallecano against Betis Sevilla the odds of the bookmakers who see the favorites from Andalusia as the favorites, but not the big favorites. It is clear that a win against the Verdiblancos of Paco Jémez’s squad in a phase in which the season can still develop in all directions could give a lot of confidence.
Although a direct promotion place is currently 13 points away, places three to six at the end of the season in a promotion delegation still play the third climber in a mini-tournament. With just four points behind that sixth place, everything is still open for the iconic club, which even stood in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 2001 …
Betis Seville:
Real Betis Balompié has won the Copa del Rey twice. The trauma of the previous season has not yet been digested. After the Spanish association announced that the final of the 117th edition of the competition would take place at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, the club worked hard to get the ticket for the final.
In the round of 16, the away goals rule brought the Verdiblancos against Real Sociedad before the quarter-final against Espanyol Barcelona was even necessary in front of their own fans. When Sergio León and Aissa Mandi met here, the final fever finally broke out in Andalusia.
This was also confirmed by the draw. Barca and Real had to face each other in the other semi-finals. Betis, on the other hand, moved to Valencia. The rest, however, is history. The Murciélagos crisscrossed the Andalucians’ final dream and ultimately won the Copa del Rey with a 2-1 victory over Barca.
So now the Heliopolitanos are again striving to get as far as possible in this competition. The first tasks were mastered with flying colors. The Verdiblancos won at Antoniano and Portugalete away without conceding a goal and with at least three goals difference.
This seriousness, which the Rubi men show in the cup, clearly speaks in our eyes for playing the tip for the away win at Rayo Vallecano against Betis Sevilla. It should not go unmentioned that her last trip to Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas only ended in a draw.
In general, the Andalusians have struggled in the distance in La Liga so far. Only one out of nine away games in Spain’s top tier of football ended in a three (four draws and four defeats), which is also the main reason why the Lobos are currently only in eleventh place in the table.
The dress rehearsal was successful in all forms. At the weekend Real Sociedad could be shot 3-0 from their own stadium. This means three wins from the last five competitive games, which is a remarkable record in view of the injured players – including Sidnei, Alfonso Pedraza and William Carvalho, who are missing three important cornerstones on the defensive.
