Betis Sevilla vs Real Sociedad Soccer Betting Picks – Copa del Rey
Far from being the all-risk insurance of La Liga, the Bétis suffers greatly from its lack of regularity in the league which does not allow it, for the moment, to be able to claim a place in the European Cup. However, following his victories against Huesca (0-2) and Celta Vigo (2-1) and his draw against … Real Sociedad (2-2) on Saturday, the Andalusian club was able to come back in 8th place in the ranking. In the Copa del Rey, Nabil Fekir’s partners had to rule out Multivera (1-3) and Sporting Gijon (0-2) to reach these 1/8 finals.
Opposite, Real Sociedad is a little higher than its opponent of the day in the standings of the Spanish championship, in 6th place, with 4 units in advance. However, the San Sebastian club has been struggling since the end of November and have only won 2 games in their last 15 games in all competitions. Defeated at the start of the Spanish Supercopa by FC Barcelona (2-2, 2-3 tab), the Basques were able to dominate Bilbao (0-1) before drawing against Osasuna (1-1), to lose against Sevilla (1-0) and therefore to share the points with Betis on Saturday night after having led by 2 goals. On the other hand, they dominated Cordoba (2-0) in the Copa del Rey last week.
