Debrecen – BATE

Debrecen BATE Borisov betting previewDebrecen vs. BATE Borisov in the 1st leg of the Champions League qualifying round 3rd round. This pick comes a little late, but there is still plenty of time until the match and I wouldn’t want to miss what I think is a good value bet.

Debrecen played the first match in the league a couple of days ago, a 1-1 draw. This came after a 0-0 draw in the Supercup (lost at penalties) and a hard earned qualification in the Champions League over Cliftonville … 0-0 away, 1-1 home. Clearly Debrecen did not start the season in great form and they have big problems winning games and scoring.

BATE Borisov also seems just a little bit off-pace at the moment. They are 3 points behind the leaders in Belarus after 18 rounds, which is a tad disappointing for a team like BATE in a weak league like the Belarus one. Also they confirmed they are not at their best when they needed 2 draws (0-0 home, 1-1 away) to pass Albanian champions Skenderbreu in the previous qual. round of the Champions League. Skenderbreu is a team similar to Debrecen in my opinion, maybe weaker, and they did not even start the season when they played BATE.

Both teams struggle at the moment and seem very prone to draws. I think a tied result would not disappoint any side today and I don’t think any of the teams will risk losing the first leg, knowing that they are not in the best form and might find it hard to recover in the second leg. I see a low scoring game, Debrecen will play good defense again but will have problems scoring, BATE will try to not lose and get a draw result. Under 2,5 goald would be my main choice but the odds are very poor. On the other hand the odds for the draw are very good … despite the fact that it looks like the most probable result. My tip is a draw. Correct score prediction: Debrecen – BATE Borisov 0-0.

  1. Very good tip.
    I also see a 0-0 or 1-1.
    If I were to pick a favourite though. I would go with Bate.

    No pick on Slovan-Seriff?
    I here Slovan are a mess and their coach is very bad.
    Seriff or X @ 1.7 seems pretty good

    • yes, me too, if I had to bet on “1” or “2” it would be “2”. Didn’t have time to analyze Slovan but at first sight I also think x2 is the way to go.
