Bet on Burkina Faso, Rayo Vallecano and Cadiz: Accumulator Tips for February 2

On February 2, we will have an AFCON semi-final and a Spanish Cup quarterfinal. We have chosen the best bets for these encounters!

Burkina Faso vs Senegal: Let's not write off Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso are the main sensation of the AFCON. From whom no one expected anything, the modest Burkinese left the group from the second place! In the last 16, they beat Gabon on penalties (1-1, 7-6), and in the quarter-finals, they beat stalwart Tunisia 1-0.

Senegal, who were the main favourites before the start of the AFCON, are not living up to expectations. The Senegalese somehow managed only one win in the group stage: a 1-0 victory over Zimbabwe and 0-0 draws against Guinea and Malawi. In the last 16, Sadio Mane and company got past Cape Verde, playing with a nine-man side from 57 minutes (2-0) and Equatorial Guinea (3-1) in the quarterfinal.

The bookmakers, of course, see Senegal as the clear favourite for the match. We think the Burkinabe side shouldn't be written off as the team made it to the semi-finals for a reason. Of course, Burkina Faso can only dream of the final, but they will put up a good fight. We'll wager on the home team's victory with a positive handicap.

Rayo Vallecano vs Mallorca: The hosts beat the visitors for the second time this season

The modest Rayo Vallecano are well on their way to the European Cup! They could well make it into the top six at the end of the season, as they currently sit in eighth place in the table with 31 points, three behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad. In the Spanish Cup, Rayo Vallecano beat Guijuelo (2-1 draw), Bergantiños (3-1), Mirandes (1-0) and Girona (2-1).

Mallorca are more modest, struggling to survive. At the moment, they are one step away from the danger zone, sitting on the 17th position with 20 points. They are just two points ahead of relegated Cadiz. At the previous stages of the Spanish Cup, Mallorca have beaten the clubs Gimnástica Segoviana (2-0), Llanera (6-0), Eibar (2-1) and Espanyol (2-1).

As for the betting odds for the upcoming match, we favour the hosts here. Rayo Vallecano are a head above Mallorca and have other goals. In addition, Madrid have already beaten the Balearic side 3-1 this season. But as a safety net, we'll take Rayo Vallecano's further run.

• Bet: Rayo Vallecano to qualify for the semi-finals

Valencia vs Cadiz: The Bats have problems against Cadiz

Valencia are in the middle of the table in tenth place with 29 points. They are five points adrift of the Eurocup zone, so anything is still possible. In the Spanish Cup, the Bats have managed to beat Utrillas (3-0), Arenteiro (3-1), Cartagena (2-1) and Baleares 1-0.

Cadiz continue to struggle hard for survival. Currently, the team is on 18th position with 18 points, two points behind the above-positioned Mallorca. In the Copa del Rey, Cadiz have beaten Villa de Fortuna (7-0), Albacete (1-0), Fuenlabrada (1-0) and Sporting Gijon on penalties (0-0, 4-2 penalties).

Cadiz are the most uncomfortable of opponents for Valencia. Since their return to the top flight, the Southerners have faced the Bats three times and never lost! They have drawn twice (1-1 and 0-0), and once they have won 2-1. We think the visitors will be able to repeat their success and at least not lose in regulation time.
