FC BATE Borisov vs FK Partizani Tirana Prediction 18 July 2023

BATE will host Partizani in the first qualifying round of the Champions League at the neutral arena in Mezjokiovesd next Tuesday.

BATE finished the first round of the Belarusian championship in fourth place, which significantly reduces its chances in the fight for the championship title. Although two victories over the strong Shakhtyor Soligorsk (2:0) and Neman (1:0) testify to the power of the Borisovites and their desire for progress.

Partizani became the champion of Albania due to an incredible finishing spurt, during which Vlaznia (2:1), Kastrioti (4:1) and Teuta (2:0) were defeated. And already at the start of the pre-season training camp, the Red Bulls turned out to be stronger than Struga (1:0). Let us remind you that a 1-1 draw a week ago leaves the teams with approximately equal chances to advance.

In this meeting, BATE is deprived of the support of the home fans, but in general, its level is slightly higher than that of Partizani. We won't be surprised if the once formidable Belarusian club makes it to the next qualifying round.
