Can Partizani surprise BATE Borisov?

The second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League qualification is just around the corner. Participants are Bare Borisov and Partizani Tirana. We are looking for the best betting tips for this match. However, the first leg is already over. After a 0:0 at half time, it ended with a 1:1 at the end of the match. Now it's time for the second leg. Of course, the following question arises: are the Belarusians or the Albanians the stronger team? After all, only one club can advance to the next round. If you want to qualify for the premier class, you have to survive three more rounds.

BATE Borisov form

Although the duel is considered fairly balanced, we believe that the Belarusians have a small advantage on their side. The bookmakers see it the same way. This may of course be due to home law. Last season, Bate Borisov qualified for the Champions League qualifiers by coming third. In this case, however, the two first-place winners were not eligible to participate. Another plus point for Bate is that the Vysshaya Liga is not currently on pause. That's why the club is fully in match practice. After 14 games of the season, Bate Borisov can be found in fourth place. They got six wins, four draws and four bankruptcies. They scored 20 goals and conceded 14 goals. But now they have a home game ahead of them. In their own stadium, there have only been two wins, two draws and three bankruptcies in the current league. Here the goal ratio is 9-9.

If we look at Bate Borisov's last five games, we can see three wins, one draw and one loss. In relation to the last ten matches, there are suddenly three successes, three draws and four defeats. Most recently, there was a 1-1 draw against Partizani Tirana in the first leg. Before that, however, Borisov won 2-0 over Shakhzior Salihorsk and 1-0 at FK Neman Grodno. Even in the cup game against Miory, the first-division team did not hold back. In the end, there was a clear 13:0 on the scoreboard. Back in the league we also have to report worse weeks. These include the 1:2 in a duel with Naftan. Also, the match at FK Slutsk was lost with 0.1. Even a cup game against Torpedo Zodino ended in a 2-0 defeat.

Partizani Tirana form

Of course, the Albanians have resumed training. But the official game operation is not yet running again. That's why we can only look at the past season in our prediction for the Champions League qualification. Here Partizani Tirana took first place and thus celebrated the championship. They were able to claim 20 wins in 36 games. Nevertheless, there were seven draws and nine defeats to see. The club scored 56 goals.

No team in Albania's Superliga achieved more. 37 goals against is also a respectable achievement. Is it a disadvantage that Partizani has to play away from home? As we've already explained, Bate isn't very strong at home. Tirana, on the other hand, has nine wins, five draws and four bankruptcies away from home. They shot 28: 20 goals. The Albanians can also be expected abroad.

Based on the last five games, four wins and one-point sharing can be seen. If we extend our review to the last ten matches, there are seven successes, two draws and only one defeat. Of course, the last match here was also the duel with Bate, which ended 1:1. Before that there was a friendly game against FC Struga that Tirana won 1-0. There were three wins in a row at the end of the league last season. Partizani Tirana beat Teuta Durres 2-0. There were also successes over Kastrioti (4-1) and Vllaznia Shkoder (2-1). A draw was finally enough against championship rivals FK Tirana (1-1). Before that, there were victories over FK Kukesi (3-1), Erzeni (2-1) and KS Bylis Ballsh (2-1). Especially the recent games that ended with few goals. In addition, there has been no defeat in nine matches.

BATE Borisov - Partizani Tirana: What to expect? 

It is not every day that teams from Belarus and Albania play against each other. This match has therefore only taken place once, in the first leg a week ago. After a 0-0 at half time, it was 1-1 after the final whistle. The scorers were Antilevski (58th minute for Bate) and Cara (66th minute for Tirana). The odds ratio was relatively balanced. Partizani was able to work out a slight lead.

The Under 2.5 doesn't really need much explanation. Nevertheless, we want to disclose our train of thought. Because the last three games of Borisov and Tirana each ended with a maximum of two goals. We recommend a second bet on the slight underdog. To be honest, we're seeing a neck-and-neck race. That's why we chose the team with the higher odds. We're speculating on Partizani Tirana winning.

• Under 2.5
