The winner of this tie will face another tough opponent in either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the semis.
In Laliga, Barcelona after a win against Getafe is now 3 points clear of the Los Blancos and 5 points clear of Real Sociedad in 3rd position.
The Copa Del Rey quarter-final looks to be a tough one against an informed side, Sociedad.
Read on to know our predictions for the expected outcome between these two sides.
The Catalans have only lost once in their last 12 matches in all competitions, dropped out of the champion’s league to face Manchester United in the Europa League in February.
In Laliga, Barcelona has scored 36 times conceding 6 times claiming the best defense in the league so far. The team has long passed the buildup stage after losing their star man Lionel Messi to PSG and now looked to be solid both in attack and defense.
Real Betis although, is the Copa Del Rey title holder, but in history, Barca has won this competition most times (31). Sounds like they own it.
Real Sociedad is also in great form. They have not lost in any of their last 7 matches in all competitions and only conceded in just 1 of those past 7.
It will be their best choice to target the Copa Del Rey trophy being in that position in the league. The Royals were outstanding in their meeting against a stubborn Vallecano in a clean 2-0 win at the de Vallecas stadium last time out.
Real Sociedad have not defeated Barcelona in their last 15 meetings in all competitions
