In the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey on February 5, 2026, Betis will face Atletico. Both teams are eager to move closer to the Copa.
Our Prediction for Betis vs Atletico
The team from Seville, having reached the Conference League final last season, finished sixth in La Liga. Now, they are aiming to at least repeat that result. However, they suffered a sudden defeat to Alaves. Regrouping, they managed to beat Valencia in the most recent round. In parallel, they confidently advanced to the Europa League playoffs, defeating Feyenoord in their last group match.
Madrid managed to return to third place in La Liga in the 2024/2025 season. However, even that position is now under threat—both due to their own slip-ups and strong performances by Villarreal. They also settled for a goalless draw with Levante. Additionally, they were eliminated from the Supercopa by Real Madrid in their first match. In the Champions League, they reached the playoffs but lost to Bodo/Glimt in the final group match.
Pellegrini’s team progressed in the cup by defeating Palma del Rio, Torrent, and Murcia. In the previous round, they got past Elche with a 2-1 result. Sorloth and company narrowly beat Atletico Baleares 3-2. Against Deportivo, the only goal came from Griezmann.
