Prediction published on 16/07/2023, 14:19  by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions

BATE Borisov plays host in their next game, against Partizani Tirana in the Champions League first qualifying round return leg. These two sides drew 1-1 in the first leg, leaving this tie open. BATE failed to hold on to the lead after Dmitri Antilevskiy’s opener in the 58th minute. That was BATE’s fourth straight unbeaten game. It however broke their run of clean sheets having posted three straight earlier. BATE have scored in each of their last five matches and will be confident of scoring here too. Each of their last three matches have however produced under 2.5 goals. Their run at home has however not been very inspiring. They have one win in five home matches. Three times in the last five home matches, they’ve conceded more than a goal.

Partizani Tirana haven't played a lot of matches recently, but they come here on a good run. They haven't lost a game in their last eight outings. The Albanian side rallied from a goal down to draw with BATE in the first leg. Tedi Cara’s goal ensured they come into this game with parity in the tie. Tirana have posted six wins in their last eight matches. In three of the last four matches, they have scored more than a goal. However, they have just one clean sheet in the last 10 matches across all competitions. Defence seems like the one area the visitors will have to focus on. In their last five away matches, both teams have scored.
