BATE won the champion’s title of the Belarusian Vysshaya Liga in 2016. The new season is underway where the everlasting leader and favourite of the elite division in recent years feels not so comfortable now. After the first lap the team sits on the second place with 33 points taken. Despite all the problems BATE facing in this season, the side has not been losing for 10 clashes already since the 5th of November 2016, having got nine victories and a single draw.

Alashkert come up to another encounter of the season with 11-match unbeaten run. Last time the team lost was on the 30th of March 2017. The side picked up 64 points with 59 goals for and 26 goals against in 30 gameweeks of the Armenia’s Premier League last season. Alashkert entered the UEFA Champions League in the previous round, having knocked out FC Santa Coloma 1:0, 1:1. The Armenian side has not been broken on the road since the 30th of October across 10 recent battles recording eight triumphs and two draws in them.
Despite all the problems in this season, the Belarusian champion has become a constant participant of the Eurocups in recent years while Alashkert don’t look consistent on European level, having knocked out a humble club from Andorra with great difficulties in the first qualifying round.
Prediction for the match: BATE to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
