The quarter-final match in the Copa del Rey between Betis and Atletico Madrid will take place on February 5 at the Olympic Stadium in Seville. Betis vs Atletico Madrid: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Betis
Since the start of the current Copa del Rey campaign, the team has already come through four rounds. In the first two stages, Betis thrashed Palma del Rio and Torrent with an aggregate score of 11:2, before recording slightly less convincing wins over Real Murcia (2:0) and Elche (2:1). In total, the club has already scored 15 goals in four matches, and largely thanks to that, every game has been decided in normal time. It is worth noting that Betis have reached the quarter-finals of the national cup for the first time since the 2021/22 season — when they lifted the trophy after beating Valencia on penalties. Overall, Betis have won this title three times in their history.
- The team have scored in eight straight Copa del Rey matches.
- The club’s no-draw run in this tournament has reached 11 matches (9 wins, 2 defeats).
- At least two goals have been scored in Betis’ last five Copa del Rey games.
Potential Betis Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Alvaro Valles — Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente, Aitor Ruibal, Ricardo Rodriguez — Marc Roca, Sergi Altimira — Abde Ezzalzouli, Antony, Nelson Deossa — Chimy Avila.
Due to fitness issues, midfielders Giovani Lo Celso, Sofyan Amrabat and Isco are unavailable, as are forwards Cucho Hernandez and Rodrigo Riquelme, plus defenders Hector Bellerin and Junior Firpo.
Atletico Madrid
Because the club finished last La Liga season in the top four, this season’s cup run began straight at the round of 32. Atletico Madrid have played only two matches so far, and they have not yet faced any Primera Division opponents. Atletico Madrid remain in the hunt for the trophy thanks to hard-fought away wins over Atletico Baleares (3:2) and Deportivo (1:0). The club have reached the quarter-finals for the fourth consecutive time, and in the previous two editions of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid managed to make it to the semi-finals. It is worth noting that the team’s last triumph in this competition came in 2013, although overall Atletico Madrid are 10-time winners of the trophy.
- The club have avoided defeat in eight of their last nine matches in the national cup (7 wins, 1 draw).
- Atletico Madrid’s away scoring streak in this tournament stands at seven matches.
- At least two goals have been scored in 14 of the team’s previous 16 away matches in the Copa del Rey.
Potential Atletico Madrid Lineup (4-4-2)*
Jan Oblak — Nahuel Molina, Robin Le Normand, Clement Lenglet, Matteo Ruggeri — Pablo Barrios, Johnny Cardoso, Marcos Llorente, Nicolas Gonzalez — Alexander Sorloth, Thiago Almada.
Forward Antoine Griezmann is unavailable due to injury. The participation of striker Alexander Sorloth is in doubt.

Betis vs Atletico Madrid: Match Prediction
Betis have already come through four cup rounds, and in all previous matches they have got the job done in normal time. At the same time, the club have kept just one clean sheet, but their efficient play going forward has helped to mask mistakes at the back. Notably, both teams have scored in four of the last five of the home side’s matches in the Copa del Rey. And if we look at results in front of their own fans, both sides have found the net in each of Betis’ last eight matches in this competition.
Atletico Madrid are traditionally dangerous for any opponent thanks to the quality they have in attack. Across the club’s last nine Copa del Rey matches, they have failed to score only once — in a home game against Barcelona (0:1). On the road, the visitors have scored in seven straight matches in this competition, and in five of those seven they have struck at least twice.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
