Real Betis head into the second leg of this Copa del Rey semi-final with a 2-1 lead, and they are strong favourites to reach the final for the first time since 2005 as they put a strong home record to the test.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have won six of their last nine on home soil, while they have only been defeated at Estadio Benito Villamarin four times in 18 outings in all competitions.

They are also no strangers to scoring goals, netting in all bar five of those matches, getting at least two goals on 11 different occasions.

Valecano hopelessly out of form
It is now five defeats in a row for Rayo Vallecano, whose early season promise is filtering away and they have a big task on their hands to turn this tie around.

They have only won four times on the road all season, three of those coming against lower league opposition in the Copa del Rey, while their defence is proving problematic.

Andoni Iraola’s side have not kept a clean sheet in 12 away fixtures against La Liga opposition, with six of those matches seeing them concede at least twice.

Real Betis should win this game, so I predict they will win with two or more goals in the match, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

皇家贝蒂斯队以2-1领先进入国王杯半决赛的第二回合，他们是自2005年以来首次进入决赛的大热门，因为他们在主场保持了良好的记录。

曼努埃尔·佩莱格里尼的球队在过去的9场主场比赛中赢得了6场胜利，而在所有比赛的18场比赛中，他们只有4次在贝尼托·维拉玛林球场被击败。

他们对进球也不陌生，其中五场比赛都进了球，在11个不同的场合进了至少两个球。

瓦莱卡诺无可救药地状态不佳
瓦列卡诺已经连败五场，他本赛季初的表现已经不太理想了，现在他们面临着扭转局面的艰巨任务。

整个赛季他们只赢得了四场客场比赛，其中三场是在国王杯对阵低级别联赛的对手，而他们的防守也存在问题。

安多尼·伊拉奥拉的球队在12场客场对阵西甲对手的比赛中没有保持一球不失球，其中有6场比赛他们至少失球两次。

皇家贝蒂斯应该会赢得这场比赛，所以我预测他们会在比赛中赢得两个或更多的进球，选择2-0作为正确的得分预测。
