Real Betis welcome Elche to the Copa del Rey last 16 aiming to continue their strong cup momentum despite several absentees. As los Beticos have turned their Estadio Benito Villamarin into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. Cucho Hernandez, Junior Firpo and Isco are all sidelined, but Manuel Pellegrini still has enough depth to rotate with confidence. Betis have been solid across competitions, averaging 2.00 points per game and scoring 2.20 goals per match, while their home fixtures tend to open up—5.00 average total goals in front of home fans this season highlights the attacking tempo they can generate. Their expected goals numbers (1.93 xG at home) also suggest consistent chance creation.
Elche, on the other hand, have been in a decent form of late, though the likely absence of defensive leader Pedro Bigas is a major concern. The visitors average 1.60 points per game, but their away attack drops to 1.00 goal per match, backed by a modest 0.97 expected goals on the road. Elche’s BTTS rate is high at 60%, yet they keep clean sheets only 20% of the time away from home. With both teams showing attacking tendencies—highlighted by 85% H2H over 1.5 goals—this tie could open up quickly.
Considering Real Betis' stronger squad and superior home numbers, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals and Real Betis Over 1.5 goals markets seem appealing as both sides have been involved in some high-scoring games of late.
This Copa del Rey match will be played on Wednesday 14 January 2026 at 20:00.
