BATE – Aris : Preview & Prediction
Aris Limassol, barring any surprises, are set to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League group stage after a comprehensive 6-2 victory over BATE Borisov in the first leg of their quarter-final on August 1. BATE had already put in 5 good performances against Miory (0-13) in the 1/16th final of the Belarusian Cup, Neman (0-1), Soligorsk (2-0) and Partizani (1-1 and 2-0) in the previous round of C1 qualifiers. BATE, who have scored in each of their last 7 outings, will need to rack up the goals if they are to achieve a remontada. Aris Limassol won their 2nd official match of the season in the first leg (6-2), a few days after winning their first Super Cup trophy against Omonia (2-0) thanks to goals from Mayambela and Stepinski. The same Stepinski was in the spotlight when he scored the Cypriot club’s final goal from the penalty spot in added time (90th+1) against this Belarusian outfit on the European stage.
