They drew 1-1 with a strong Levante in the last round, showing a balanced game in defense and attack. In the previous stage of the Spanish Cup, Huesca knocked out Gimnástic, thanks to a precise strike from Muñoz in the 58th minute.

Estimated lineup: Jimenez - Vilarraza, Gonzalez, Pulido, Loureiro, Valentin - Martin, Cielva, Kortajarena, Soko - Unzueta
Current form
Betis have had mixed results this season. After 18 rounds of La Liga, the “white-greens” have six wins and seven draws, which has earned them 25 points and a position in the middle of the standings. In the last match of the Primera, the Sevillians drew at home with a strong Rayo Vallecano (1:1), demonstrating an organized game in attack, but were unable to maintain a minimal advantage. At the last stage of the King’s Cup, the “beticos” confidently beat Sant Andreu with a score of 3:1, showing a high level of skill against a team from a lower division. Juanmi especially stood out, having distinguished himself with effective actions.
Betis are renowned for their balance between attack and defence, but inconsistency in away games remains a major problem. The away match against Huesca will be a good opportunity for the team to show their level and advance to the next stage of the Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carvalho (muscle injury), Joni Cardroso (muscle injury), Isco (leg injury) and Bellerin (bruise) will be out.
Interesting trends for betting
- Pablo Fornals scored his first away goal of the season last month
- Betis winger Juanmi has scored in four of his last seven official matches (provided he plays for at least 10 minutes)
- The White-Greens have failed to win in four away games against teams below them in the table
Probable line-up: Silva - Sabally, Nathan, Llorente, Perro - Ruibal, Bartra, Fekir, Fornals, Roca - Juanmi

1.65Tip and bets
The home team has been in excellent form this season, as evidenced by their performance in Segunda. The team is sixth in the table and continues to fight for a return to the elite of Spanish football. Huesca home games have been particularly impressive, where the team has not lost in four matches in a row, and has achieved convincing victories in the last two matches at home. In the Copa del Rey, Huesca has already shown character, beating Gimnástic thanks to an organized defense and a goal from Muñoz. Their coherence and self-confidence make them a serious opponent even for a team from La Liga.
Betis, on the other hand, are not in the best shape for this match. The White-Greens have not been able to win for several weeks – a draw with Rayo Vallecano and defeats in the Conference League to weak opponents like Mlada Boleslav indicate a decline in the team’s form. In addition, Betis has problems in away matches, which only adds to the advantages of the hosts in this match. Despite the high class of the guests, Huesca has every chance to impose its game and take advantage of the weakened squad of the opponent.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Huesca with odds of 3.40
Bet on total
Given the style of play of both teams, the upcoming match is unlikely to be rich in goals. Huesca is known for its solid defense, especially at home, where the team has conceded only two goals in the last four matches. Daniel Valle men prefer to play defensively, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, which makes their games low-scoring. Betis are not in the best form at the moment, especially in attack.
The absence of key players such as Isco and Carvalho significantly reduces creativity and effectiveness in attack. In the last three matches, the Sevillians have not scored more than one goal, including games against weaker opponents. In addition, the White and Greens often have difficulties in Copa del Rey matches against motivated clubs from the lower divisions, which can lead to cautious play.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.75
Betting on corner kicks
Huesca rarely play from the flanks, preferring to build attacks through the center, which limits the number of corner kicks. In turn, Betis is not known for a large number of corner kicks, especially in away matches. The match is expected to be restrained, without frequent aggravations, and the overall number of corners will remain low.
Forecast - total corner kicks under 8.5 at odds of 1.85
