BATE vs Rosenborg Prediction & Betting tips
Is the Italian league stronger than the German? What about Turkish and Portuguese football? These cross comparisons are difficult to make, but necessary for the qualifiers for the European Cup. Which league is stronger, flat rate can not answer. There are nations in which a handful of top clubs are very strong, but behind them the level drops significantly. In other countries, the quality is very high, but the absolute top international clubs are missing.
Adding to this is often the fact that in one league the season is just beginning (in most major European countries), while in Scandinavia, for example, a season parallel to the calendar year and the clubs are currently in the midst of a season and fully in rhythm.
At least this problem does not exist in the match between BATE Borisov and Rosenborg Trondheim, in whose game a prediction is still very difficult to make. Both teams are in the middle of the game and the shape can therefore be estimated quite well.
The clubs had to intervene in the round of 16 in the competition and now fight each other for a place in the semifinals on the way to qualifying for the premier class. The self-confidence should be great. Both Borisov and Trondheim, this forecast can be ventured, have after a series of five or seven unbeaten games in series a broad chest.
In Belarus, it is about to put in a good starting position for the return leg in a week. The game will be kicked off at 18:00.
Bate Borisov:
BATE Borisov is the leader in Belarusian football. With 15 league titles and three trophies, the club is the most successful club in the country, ahead of the capital club Dinamo Minsk, as well as the reigning champions in the Vysshaya Liga. On the way to the title defense, the team of coach Alyaksey Baha gets competition from his former employer (as a player). Dinamo Brest leads the table with two points ahead. Borisov, however, has played one less match with 15 games completed and thus everything in the hand. Above all, the defensive is again the big trump in the current season.
With six goals conceded the team receives on average less than 0.5 goals per game – an impressive balance. However, it should also be noted that the national competition is not very large, especially in the latitude. The important games are currently taking place during the week. Borisov would like to qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time after a few years of abstinence. The first step was already taken against the Polish representative Piast Gliwice.
After a 1: 1 home won the Belarusians in the second leg away 2-1. In both games, however, the Poles were the better team. Whether the success was due to the slightly larger international experience or just luck and coincidence is hard to say. In any case, central defender Zakhan Volkiov, one of the great talents in the team at the age of 21, was the celebrated hero. He scored in the 87th minute to decisive 2: 1, after Borisov just five minutes before came to equalize by own goal. Now it is important to increase significantly, if the next hurdle should be overcome.
With a similar performance as in the last round between Bate Borisov and Rosenborg Trondheim a tip on the host is not really recommended. Focusing only on one’s own strength in working against the ball will not be enough on an international stage. The assault series Stesevic, Skavysh and Tuominen must end the gate doldrums and provide more danger in front of the opponent’s goal. Coach Baha, at least in the formation hardly set up more offensive.
Rosenborg Trondheim:
Rosenborg Trondheim has made a real false start in the national league. With 24 points, the club is currently ranked 6th in the elite series and nine points off the top of the table. In recent weeks, the team of head coach Eirik Horneland but getting better and better momentum – just in time for the start of the Champions League qualifiers. The last five games have all been won across all competitions. In the league Trondheim won last furious with 5: 1 against Viking FK. Alexander Soderlund (four goals in the last four games) and Anders Konradsen tied one double. Konradsen even managed this feat again in the subsequent second leg against Linfield. After the 2-0 first-leg win in Northern Ireland, Rosenborg had one leg in the next round.
The very clear and well-deserved 4: 0 at home underpins the club’s ambitions to return to the group stage of the premier class this season. With all due respect to Linfield, however, the first real challenge awaits the troupe of Eirik Horneland. In order to ensure a good starting position, the main thing is to achieve the so important away goals. Borisov is defensively very stable, but the offensive of the guests is currently in good shape. But with the return match at home in the back the Norwegians do not have to take any unnecessary risks. Controlled offensive is the magic word that the coach will give his protégés on their way. Let’s wait and see if he sends a team of eleven local players to the pitch again, like against Linfield.
