Alashkert take on the visitors BATE at "Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium" in the second-leg match of the 1/4 stage of the Qualification to the UEFA Champions League 2017/2018. The game will be played in Yerevan on Tuesday, July 18th. The first-leg clash ended with 1:1 draw.
Armenian Premier League has not started yet, however, Alashkert have not been beaten across 12 encounters in a row (taking into consideration last season) resulting in nine triumphs and three draws. Armenia's champion has promoted to the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, having knocked out FC Santa Coloma 1:0, 1:1 in the first one. In their first-leg game against BATE Alashkert managed to get 1:1 draw on the road, having shot on target not a single time. In 2017 Alashkert recorded five wins, one draw and single defeat in seven games at their own turf.

Unexpectedly BATE sit only on the second place in the Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. Moreover, the team has started in the Eurocups with a sensational home draw against the Armenian side. Although Belarus side played better football than its opponent during the whole game, the main problem of the team faced huge difficulties with well-places shots. In 2017 BATE gained six victories, two draws and three losses in 11 away battles.
Despite the draw at away field, I don't believe in the overall success of the Armenia's champion in this pair, therefore, I presume that the Belarusian side will manage to win on the road and promote to the next qualification round of the UEFA Champions league.
Prediction for the match: BATE to win.
