BATE hosts Rosenborg in the first leg of the Champions League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 24th at Borisov Arena (Barysaw)
BATE overcame Polish Piast, being behind in the 80th minute again but leading 2:1 to the 88th! The Belarusian team is very good in European qualifications, and it has learned well how to deploy forces for the whole distance of the two-match confrontation. And we shouldn’t wait for a victory of BATE in the first match. The draw at home and winning away – such a system has been working for a long time, not for the first year! Will it be possible to repeat this trick with the Norwegian rival? Well, I think that the first match of this confrontation will be rather equal, and I don’t advise betting on the hosts’ victory!

The Norwegians hammered North Irish Linfield in the first round, totally beating the opponent (6-0). Naturally, this does not influence the confrontation with BATE at all. Linfield and BATE have absolutely different levels! The Norwegian team has approximately the same level as BATE if we talk about European cups. What should we wait from Scandinavians in the first match of the confrontation? Well, perhaps a prudent and cautious game with periodic dangerous attacks! The main hype of this confrontation will most likely develop in Norway! And now the teams will be more cautious, and obviously, nothing will be decided in the first match.
The first match will take place in an equal fight, and it will probably end with an exchange of goals. But I'll bet on a +1.0 handicap of Rosenborg. I am generally inclined to a draw in this match. But if BATE wins, the difference will not exceed more than one goal!
Prediction for the match: Rosenborg to win with +1.0 handicap
