Spain 🇪🇸 Copa Del Rey
Venue:Estadio de La Cartuja
Betis vs Atl.Madrid
⚽ Headline
I think Atlético Madrid are slightly the team more likely to edge this, but it won’t be easy — and Betis can absolutely make it messy.
📌 Why I lean toward Atlético
Bookmakers and models give Atleti the edge — most previews put them around a ~40–43% chance to win vs ~30–34% for Betis.
Historically in head-to-head, Atlético have had the upper hand in recent meetings.
They’re tactically disciplined and experienced in knockout cup ties — teams like this tend to scrape through close games.
🔥 But it won’t be easy
Betis are strong at home and have been on a good run, especially in recent matches.
Sevilla crowds and cup nights can raise their intensity — they know this is a big chance for silverware.
🧠 How the game might play out
Expect a tight first half with lots of tactical chess.
There’s also a real danger of a draw after 90 minutes, which could send this toward extra time/penalties if it’s tied (Copa del Rey quarters are knockout!).
OUR VERDICT:BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE-YES
GOOD LUCK!
