Prediction: 1-2
Betis
Estadio Jose Zorilla will host Wednesday’s Copa del Rey game between Real Valladolid and Real Betis. La Pucela are on a quest to return to La Liga, and, no doubt, they are fully focused on Segunda Division this term. Since head coach Rojo Martin is likely to rest key players for the Spanish Cup game, home win should not be considered. Los Beticos, on the other hand, are desperate to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo.
Important forward Nabil Fekir returns to the starting line-up, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the La Liga outfit. Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and defender German Pezzelle are waiting for negative COVID-19 tests to take part in Wednesday’s clash, while Victor Camarasa is sidelined through injury for the visiting team.
