Betis is having one of the best seasons in its history, it is third in LaLiga Santander and has just drawn in Vallecas (1-1) in a controversial match.
At Betis Pellegrini they have the confirmed absences of Montoya and Willian José, and four players who are doubtful: Joaquín, Bartra, Paul and Sabaly.
Seville
Sevilla suffered to eliminate Córdoba in the first round (0-1), in the second round they needed a penalty shootout to beat Andratx (1-1 and 5-6) and in the round of 32 they left Zaragoza in the cinema (0 -two). Lopetegui’s men beat Getafe 1-0 on the last day of the league and are the only ones who keep the pulse of Madrid.
For this match the coach will not be able to count on Navas, Lamela, Suso and Delaney due to injury, nor on En-Nesyri, Munir and Bono who are playing in the Africa Cup. The one who seems that he will be, and will also play from the start, is Jules Koundé who was dragging muscle discomfort.

FORECAST 90min
The two teams arrive at a good time and we are surely facing one of the tightest derbies in recent years. However, things were also very even in the league game with Betis at their best and Sevilla came out on top. In a game like this, the differences that may exist are reduced to a minimum. The losses that Sevilla has make Betis a slight favorite to be in the quarterfinals.
Result: Real Betis 2-1 Seville
