Partizan vs BATE Betting Tips

It took BATE Borisov 75 minutes and a sending off to break down a stubborn Partizan defence last week, but eventually Mikhail Gordeychuk netted a goal to make it 1-0 to the Belarus side.

They had taken control of the match on home turf, enjoying the majority of possession and having 11 attempts on goal compared to their opponents measly 3 shots.

It was a fiery match from the start though. 5 yellow cards were dished out, but that number was rather lenient considering there was a total of 31 fouls committed.

Partizan’s loss to BATE makes it their 2^nd loss in their last 5 games in all competitions. They have won all of the other 3 matches, but they are in a disappointing 3^rd place in the Serbian Super Liga with 12 points from their opening 6 league games.

BATE have a bit more domestic experience under their belts this season. They are 17 games into their campaign and sit at the summit of the Belarus Premier League. Dinamo Minsk are 6 points adrift of them, but do have a game in hand.

BATE managed an impressive 7-1 victory over Neman Grodno on Saturday, a win that made it 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches.

BATE Borisov more than held their own in the home leg of this fixture and since they now have a lead to protect it makes this match a difficult one to call.

The away side will probably set up defensively for this match and judging by the first leg it would not be a surprise to see them hold the Serbians at bay and maybe snatch a goal for themselves.

We’re backing a BATE Win or Draw Double Chance at odds of 4/5 and also putting some money on a 1-0 BATE victory at 15/2.
