BATE Borisov vs Konyaspor Predictions

• BATE Borisov have seen both teams score in four of their last six matches.
• Konyaspor, meanwhile, saw goals scored at both ends in each of their final seven games last season.
• The visitors finished an impressive third in the Turkish Super Lig last term, with only Fenerbahce, Trabzonspor and Alanyaspor scoring more than their 66 goals.

Konyaspor face difficult test in Europa Conference League qualifiers

Having finished third in the Turkish Super Lig last term after an impressive first season under Ilhan Palut, Konyaspor are bidding to reach a first European group-stage campaign since 2017-18, but a clash with BATE Borisov represents a difficult test, even if their opponents are unable to play on home turf due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The visitors’ strong attacking record helped them to an impressive campaign in 2021-22, as only Fenerbahce, Trabzonspor and Alanyaspor, all of whom also finished in the top five, bettered their record of 66 goals in 38 games. Each of their last seven games of the season saw goals at both ends, as did 13 of their final 15, as Palut introduced an entertaining style to Konya.

BATE, meanwhile, sit atop the Belarussian Premier League after winning eight of their first 15 games, only posting two defeats, both of which came at home, which could suggest they may cope well with the challenge of being unable to play in familiar surroundings. They’ve netted 27 goals so far this campaign and seen both teams net in four of their last six contests, so an end-to-end affair is anticipated.

Goals at both ends likely

With both sides boasting strong attacking records and Thursday’s match being played out in a strange atmosphere owing to the restrictions placed on Belarus by UEFA, avoiding the results markets and backing both sides to net looks a strong play.

Meanwhile, a 2-1 win for the Turkish side looks a strong correct score prediction.
