Racing Ferrol vs Sevilla Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7th 2024

Racing Ferrol and Sevilla return to action in the Copa del Rey when they go head-to-head at the Estadio de A Malata on Sunday.

Quique Sánchez Flores’ men head into the weekend fresh off the back of a disappointing defeat against Athletic Club in their first game of the year and will be looking to bounce back.

Racing Ferrol continued their quest for automatic promotion to the La Liga as they picked up a 1-0 victory over Real Valladolid in their final game of 2023.

Cristobal Parralo’s side have now won four of their last five matches across all competitions, with a 1-0 loss against Huesca on December 10 being the exception.

Racing Ferrol, who are currently second in the La Liga table, now turn their attention to the Copa del Rey, where they have brushed aside Marbella and Leganes in the opening two rounds.

Sevilla, on the other hand, were denied a dream start to the new year as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Athletico Bilbao on Thursday.

Flores’ men have now lost five of their last six matches — a run that has seen them drop to 16th place in the La Liga standings, just one point above the relegation zone.

Sevilla return to action in the Copa del Rey, where they kicked off their campaign with a 3-0 victory over Quintanar on November 1, five weeks before edging out Atletico Astorga 2-0 in the second round.
