Prediction: 1-1
Athletic Bilbao
There will be fireworks when Real Betis and Athletic Club face each other at Estadio Benito Villamarin in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. Los Beticos did well to beat Real Sociedad 3-1 after extra-time in the last 16, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in Thursday’s football match. Even though Bartra, Bravo, Camarasa, Martin, and Rodriguez remain in the recovery room, we predict that the hosts are going to find the net in the Spanish Cup clash.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Barcelona, when they failed to turn their dominance into the equalizing goals in the second half of the match. The Basques have always been taking Copa del Rey games very seriously, and seeing that new boss Marcelino helped the team improve offensively, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Balenziaga and Nolaskoain are likely to miss the match with injuries.
