 On the one hand, this assessment is of course based on the fact that none of the big names like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Sevilla or Atletico Madrid are still in the running. On the other hand, the southern Spaniards have absolutely earned this role as favorites thanks to a strong season so far. Before the "Béticos" can plan for the final, however, Rayo, who are strong at home, must first be eliminated in the semi-finals, which are traditionally played with a return match. The potential final opponent is finally determined between Athletic Bilbao and Valencia.

Joaquin, Claudio Bravo and Martin Montoya are unavailable. Otherwise everyone is on board, although the experienced coach Pellegrini will also be looking for changes after the weak performance against the "Yellow Submarine". It will be important to build on the defensive performance of the previous cup competition. Three out of five games could be won to zero. In total, only three goals were conceded.

It has become increasingly quiet around promoted Rayo Vallecano in recent weeks. While the capital city wintered in the sensational fourth place in the table, the new year 2022 has so far been anything but as desired.

Only one disappointing point jumped out of four La Liga games. In three out of four matches, the Madrid team remained without a goal of their own. They recently suffered a surprise home defeat against Athletic Bilbao and a 2-0 defeat at Celta Vigo in the dress rehearsal for this semi-final first leg. In the classification, coach Michel's team fell back to ninth place.

Alternatively, it can be an exciting option to bet on a maximum of two hits in the course of the game. In the last eight league games of the red and white, the corresponding sub 2.5 would always have gone through. In terms of personnel, coach Michel will definitely have to do without Unai Lopez, Jose Pozo and Martin Merquelanz. Some starting XI adjustments compared to the mentioned 2-0 defeat in Vigo are to be expected.

Exactly one month ago this duel only took place in the Spanish upper house. Back then, the teams drew 1-1, although Betis had been outnumbered since the 33rd minute, but then took the lead and finally conceded the equalizer with 20 minutes to go.

Meanwhile, Rayo's last league win against Betis dates back to 2014. Since then, six La Liga clashes have seen three Andalusian wins and three draws. In the 2019/20 Copa del Rey, Rayo, as a second division side, narrowly defeated the "Béticos” after a penalty shoot-out. In the previous four encounters, however, the Madrid team always drew the short straw and had to bow out.

In our opinion, the tip between Rayo Vallecano and Betis Sevilla that a maximum of two goals will be scored in the first leg is more interesting. The Madrid side have failed to score in four of their last five La Liga games and have played under 2.5s eight times in a row in the top flight. However, Betis has kept the clean sheet a few times in recent weeks and seems to be in better shape at the moment. By the way, exactly one month ago, the clubs parted ways 1:1.

For the repeated under 2.5 in this game, a 1.86 is offered as the top odds via the Unibet app. Six out of a possible ten units are absolutely justifiable as a bet. A potential bet on the progress of the Andalusians is also worth considering before the start of the first of two games. It is quite possible that the odds will have dropped significantly before the second leg on March 3rd.

We predict that Betis won't lose the cup semi-final first leg. The victory bet can be well secured with a draw. Betis will already lead at the break, Rayo doesn't score. So those who are willing to take risks rely on the away win to zero.
