WhoScored Tipster: Top Tips - Copa del Rey Semis Live at bet365

With the second legs of the Copa del Rey semi-finals looming large you can watch the action live, with bet365 streaming both matches. On Wednesday night under fire Gary Neville will be hoping to save some face after Valencia’s 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Barcelona last week, while Sevilla are in a similarly commanding position as they prepare to face Celta Vigo for the third game running on Thursday.

Valencia vs Barcelona

After their annihilation of Neville’s men in the first leg it’s little surprise that Luis Enrique has named a second string squad for the trip to the Calderon. As a result though the pressure will again be on the Valencia boss to get a result with the fans having turned against him following defeat to Real Betis at the weekend.

Nevertheless, the hosts will be without captain Dani Parejo and the suspended Shkodran Mustafi themselves, and while as many as 11 first team regulars will be absent for the blaugrana, on current form Valencia will likely still struggle to break the visitors down. The under 2.5 goals market is worth considering @2.00, and if you’re feeling more ambitious the odds on a 1-1 scoreline look tempting @6.50.

Celta Vigo vs Sevilla

It’s likely to be a similar story in the second semi-final, with travelling Sevilla set to be able to rest some players after a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture between the sides. The two also met in the league at the weekend, playing out a significantly tighter affair, and the same should be expected on Thursday night.

Eduardo Berizzo’s side will be looking to get some revenge and at least make the visitors sweat by scoring early, though needing to play an attacking team, the hosts could leave themselves exposed at the back. Odds of 1.61 on both teams to score should be a safe bet then, and if you fancy Copa del Rey top scorer hopeful John Guidetti to net his sixth of the tournament then odds @3.00 for the Swede to score anytime are appealing.

If you are tempted to make things a little more interesting by putting money on the upcoming semi-final second legs, then be sure to follow the action live at bet365.com.
