The classification of Betis for the round of 16 of the King’s Cup After defeating Huesca, a tremendously positive trend continues for the Verdiblanco team in this competition since Manuel Pellegrini He took charge of the Heliopolitan bench in the summer of 2020. With the highest point of winning the title in April 2022, the Beticos have seen how of the 21 cup matches played with the Chilean coach they have only lost one in regulation time , given that they fell on other occasions from the penalty spot. The balance is 21 games with 16 wins, four draws and a single defeat.

Previously, they had overcome the single-match rounds against UCAM Murcia (0-2), Mutilvera (1-3), Sporting (0-2) and Real Sociedad (3-1).
In the successful 2021-22, Pellegrini’s Betis surpassed all the rounds and was proclaimed King’s Cup champion. Their path was as follows: Alicante CFI (0-4), Talavera (2-4), Valladolid (0-3), Sevilla (2-1), Real Sociedad (0-4), Rayo Vallecano (1-2 and 1-1) and Valencia (1-1 and 5-4, in the penalty shootout).
Already in 2022-23, Betis defended the title but fell prematurely in the Cup by beating Ibiza (1-4) and losing with Osasuna in the round of 16 (2-2) also in the penalty shootout.
Last year, Betis suffered its only countable defeat in a cup match with Pellegrini since it was knocked out in the round of 32 against the Alavés (1-0) after having beaten Hernán Cortés (1-12) and Villanovense (1-2).
