Match Preview
The Andalusians are flying high despite a heavy injury list that plagued them throughout January. Manuel Pellegrini has done wonders with this group lately. They managed to navigate past Valencia and Feyenoord recently. The return of key figures like Riquelme gives them a huge boost.
Playing in Seville provides a massive emotional lift for the Verdiblancos even at La Cartuja. Their form in front of their own fans has been a fortress lately with five wins on the bounce. However, the ghost of past defeats against Simeone remains a psychological hurdle today.
Antony is the man to watch for the hosts after his permanent move in 2025. The Brazilian winger has already netted five times and provided four assists this season. His ability to beat defenders on the flank will be vital for breaking a tough Atletico side down.
Atletico Madrid are navigating a tricky period after a shock defeat in the Champions League. Diego Simeone knows the pressure is building for a trophy this season. This quarter final is a massive priority for the club to ensure they do not end the year empty handed.

Julian Alvarez is expected to lead the line with Griezmann potentially returning to the squad. Motivation is extremely high as the cup is their best shot at silverware. It will be interesting to see if they can follow these Expert Spanish Copa del Rey Predictions today.

Prediction
Both Teams to Score @1.68
Real Betis have been in fantastic scoring form lately finding the net in their last few outings. Their attacking approach under Manuel Pellegrini often leaves gaps at the back which top sides exploit. With Antony leading the charge they should have enough quality to score. However their defense has not kept a clean sheet in four games which suggests Atletico will also have plenty of chances.
Atletico Madrid might be struggling for wins but they still possess world class offensive talent like Julian Alvarez. Diego Simeone often sets up to hit teams on the counter especially in away cup ties. The visitors have seen both teams score in several recent high profile matches. Given the high stakes of a quarter final both teams will likely push for goals to avoid a stalemate.
