Vallecano comes into the game looking to snap a five-game losing streak
Read on for betting odds, a full preview and a best bet for this Copa del Rey semifinal
Journeyman manager Manuel Pellegrini has seemingly brought his championship-winning credentials to bear at Betis this season, lifting the club to third in La Liga as well as the last 16 of the Europa League. But it’s the second leg of the Copa del Rey that will be dominating his thoughts this week, with a place in the final against either Valencia or Athletic Bilbao awaiting if Real Betis can hang on to the 2-1 first-leg advantage at home on Thursday, March 3.
But Rayo Vallecano isn’t just about to hand Betis its tickets to that final. The team has been in an awful slump of late, losing five straight games in all competitions. As a result, the early-season optimism that saw the Madrid club flirt with European qualification has all but eradicated, and the club will look at this game as its only chance to salvage something from a once-promising season.
