Hello! The qualifying stage of the Champions League continues. Yesterday, Basel partially met my expectations and brought me a profit. Today I will analyze the match which in my opinion is the most interesting. BATE takes home Rosenborg.
BATE
The Belarusian club is currently in good shape. The Belarussian Championship is in full swing and BATE comes here in second place, also at the last stage the Belarusian club already knew the price of an error in matches with the Polish Piast. In July, the team held four matches. Of these, there was a guest match with Dinamo Minsk, which BATE won with a score of 1-2, snatching victory in the end of the match, as well as a home game with Torpedo BelAZ, which the team also won 4-1, here Torpedo could not provide decent resistance. There was also a two-leg standoff with the Polish Piast, which I mentioned earlier. And here the Poles almost knocked the Belarusian club out of the eurocup. In both matches, Belarus had to play in the role of winning back from the first half. Both matches were saved in the endings. As for home games, here BATE has almost regularly scored at least one or two goals - out of the last ten matches, only two in BATE failed to score a single goal, and one of these matches was friendly.
BATE has long been a regular participant in eurocups. The Belarusians have not achieved great achievements, but they also do not fall below a certain level. Last year, BATE flew only to the playoffs of the Champions League from PSV (2-3, 0-3), passing along the road HJK (0-0, 2-1) and Karabakh (1-1, 1-0). In the Europa League, BATE withdrew from the group with Chelsea, MOL Vidi and PAOK and flew only to the 1/16 finals from Arsenal (1-0, 0-3).
Rosenborg
Now go to the Norwegian club. Rosenborg is coming to a duel with BATE in good shape. The Norwegians won five games in a row in all tournaments, having also spent four matches in July. Major League of Norway is also in full swing, only here, unlike their rival, they are in sixth place. This month, Rosenborg played away from Ranheim, who was in 15th place, and almost lost points by winning at the very end of the match with a score of 2-3. There was also a home match with the Viking, and there was a crushing victory of the hosts with a score of 5-1. Viking to the word is not so far from Rosenborg. As well as BATE, the Norwegians started in the Champions League from the 1st qualifying round, where they were opposed by Linfield from Northern Ireland. In both games, Rosenborg did not experience serious problems and scored two wins 4-0 and 0-2. In guest matches, the team plays not very stable, but regularly scores at least a goal. In the last ten matches, RBK was unable to score Molde and Tromso.
By tradition, for three years in a row, Rosenberg flies out of the Champions League to the second stage for himself. And twice in a row the Norwegians beat out Celtic. In the last year's Europa League, unlike BATE, Rosenborg did not get out of the group. Scandinavians took the last line in the group with Celtic, Salzburg and RB Leipzig, earning only one point.
Well, it can be concluded that approximately equal teams will enter the field today. With the only difference that Rosenborg does not always confidently play in guest matches with teams that are equal to themselves. Both teams are in good shape and do not lose in the last five matches, so we can expect a stubborn fight in today's match.
Bookmakers are considered the favorite for the BATE match. I will not bet on a clear victory for the Belarusians. I am betting that Both Teams Score with 2.05. You can also consider the option Individual Total BATE more 1 with 1.7, in live, I think this ratio will be higher. Everything else is considered during the match.
