BATE does a great job with glorifying Belarus on the international scene. The teams gets to the Eurocups every year thereby balancing their financial state. That helps with developing the infrastructural side and signing high class players who are able to beat strong opponents.

HJK have been a strong team and have been scaring their opponents in their local league for the last several years. The Club is the leader in the table of Veikkausliiga at the moment with 45 points to their credit and a 38-15 goal difference after 20 matches. Last three away matches for HJK ended with a 2-1 win over Vikingur, a 2-2 draw against KuPS and a 1-2 loss to Lahti.
BATE and HJK have never faced each other before. Now it`s hard to pick a favourite, both teams are good but the hosting side really should win in front of their home crowd. It`s worth noting that the level of Belarusian Premier League is higher than the level of Veikkausliiga.
Prediction for the match: BATE to win.
