BATE BORISOV – SHAKHTER KARAGANDY: PREDICTIONS

Champions League proper returns to the European calendar, with game between two sides from the ex-USSR.

BATE Borisov of Belarus take their place in Champions League with a 2^nd league title in 3 years They have won Belarus title 9 times including the last 7 in a row, the side serves the national team with the majority of players picked from this side. BATE have made the ECL group stages three times in the last five years. In European competition they have 38 wins, 24 draws and 38 defeats from 100 games. In Champions League they have 21 wins 18 draws and 17 defeats.

Shakhter Karagandy of Kazakhstan has finally come to the fore in their country. After playing in the top flight since its inception in 1992 they finally reached the top in 2011, going on to win back to back titles. This year though they are struggling in 5^th, 15 points behind Aktobe.  In Europe they have hardy featured with 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.  Last year they matched Sloven Liberec over 2 legs and lost to a late goal in extra time.

BATE BORISOV – SHAKHTER KARAGANDY: BETTING TIPS

BATE Borisov are more experienced on this stage than a lot of the major teams across Europe. They are a well organised and well synced side. Shakhter had a good result last year but the side seems to have gone backwards. I think BATE will try and get the tie wrapped up in Belarus as games in Khazahkstan could go awry. I take BATE -1.5 at 1.75 with Bet365.
