Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
There will be fireworks when Huesca and Real Betis square off against each other in the Copa del Rey last 32. Los Azulgranas aim to claim a major scalp and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Forward Hugo Vallejo remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. You should know that Huesca have suffered only one defeat at their Estadio el Alcoraz this term.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. The Andalusians have big ambitions for the Spanish Cup, but seeing that Huesca are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. The good news for the visiting side is that former Real Betis forward Chimy Avila is back from suspension.
