Bate Borisov vs Partizani Prediction and Betting Tips | July 18th 2023

Bate Borisov will square off against Partizani at the Mezőkövesdi Stadion in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League first-round qualifiers on Tuesday.

As UEFA has currently barred Belarusian teams from hosting an international football match, the game is taking place at a neutral venue (Hungary). They met in Albania in the first leg last week which ended in a 1-1 draw as Dmitri Antilevski and Tedi Cara scored within eight minutes of each other in the second half.

The hosts are back in the Champions League qualifiers for the first time in three seasons and will look to book their place in the group stage for the first time since the 2015-16 campaign. The visitors, meanwhile, are back in the Champions League qualifiers after two seasons.
