BATE Borisov vs Aris Limassol
UEFA Champions League Qualification
Date: 1 August 2023, Tuesday
Kick-off at 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
Venue: Varosi Stadion (Mezokovesd).
Aris Limassol celebrated a huge 6-2 victory in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie seven days ago on Cypriot soil.
The team led by Aleksey Shpilevskiy completely dominated the happenings on the pitch throughout the whole course of the game, netting three first-half goals to seal the deal before the break.
Arthur Gomis starred with a brace on the occasion as the remaining foreign internationals have also done an amazing job for the Cypriot champions last Tuesday.
Brazilian Caju delivered two assists, Polish Mariusz Stepinski added a goal and an assist, while Leo Bengtsson and Jaden Montnor got their names to the scoresheet as well for Aris.
The team from Limassol are enjoying the best days in their history, following the inaugural domestic league title from last season.
They are already one foot in the third qualifying round but they still have the remaining part of the job to do this Tuesday in the reverse leg at Varosi Stadion in Mezokovesd, Hungary.
As you know, Belarusian teams are banned from playing on the home turf through political reasons.
BATE will most likely end the competition at this phase after such a devastating loss in the first game. They haven’t gone beyond the second qualifying round of any European competition since the 2019/20 season.
BATE suffered two losses to Turkish Konyaspor (0-5 on aggregate) in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League last year. We would not be surprised to witness a similar scenario this time around against Aris.
Aris showed the gulf in quality between them and BATE seven days ago and we expect them to pick up another victory against Belarusian rivals. You can back the visitors to win at the 1.95 odds.
The Over 2.5 goals FT bet is also worth backing at the 2.00 odds knowing we’ve seen eight goals and numerous chances on both ends seven days ago in Cyprus.
