The Copa Del Rey is at the closing stages of the tournament. The tournament has been filled with a lot of excitement and buzz. With the El Classico kicking off on Wednesday, the remaining other teams would struggle to book their place in the finals against either Real Madrid or Champions Barcelona. While the other fixture is the match that would catch the headlights, real Betis against Valencia still promises to be a cracking fixture.
Real Betis
Real Betis has had a wonderful season even by their standards this season. They have found themselves closer to the champions’ league spots that they have ever been before. This boost has also seen them climb above their opponents in the league this season. They have currently amassed 32 points in the league. They are currently 6th in the league. However, the game at hand is a different ball game entirely from the Spanish league. However, they would use that as a springboard to do extremely well when both teams meet in the league this season. Getting to the finals of the Cope del Rey would no doubt add to the glorious season. The only thing that stands in their way is Valencia
Valencia
Valencia has had a very quiet season so far. They have fallen down the pecking order in the league and would want to get back to action as soon as they can. Valencia is currently 8th in the league this season. Sitting above them are teams such as Alves, Getafe, and Real Betis. The tables have changed this season. However, they would get a golden opportunity of redeeming themselves. A win here today in this cup tie would go a long way in boosting their confidence.
Form
One factor which will play a part in how the match is to go in the form of both teams. Real Betis has won three of their last six games in the league. The remaining match has ended in two losses and a draw. Real Betis are currently a two-match winning streak and would hope to make it three in a row when they meet Valencia in this cup tie.
However, Valencia would not feel threatened by their form in any way whatsoever. Valencia has won four of their six games in the league. The remaining matches have ended in a draw and a loss. Valencia is currently on a three-match unbeaten run. This run extends to their last draw against Barcelona in the league. There is no thus ice-cold confidence flowing through their veins. With the proper plan and strategy, Valencia would surely fancy their chances against Real Betis in the league.
Just like Barcelona and Real Madrid in the other semi-final, this cup match presents two teams who are not apart in many ways. These two teams would be itching to set the matter straight when they meet in the cup tie. Regardless of who takes the spoil at the end, you can sure that you would have been thoroughly entertained.
