The hegemon in Belarus BATE (Borisov) will play CSKA in the second qualifying round of the Europa League. The match will be at the Bulgarian Army Stadium. BATE is champion of his country 15 times, he won the Cup 4 times and the Super Cup 7 times. For the first time after 13 consecutive titles he did not become champion, last season he finished in second place.
The “blue yellows” made a name for themselves in Europe. At the moment its balance is 152 games, 56 wins, 39 draws, 57 losses, goal difference 178: 215 (-37).
BATE has already met twice with a Bulgarian team in Europe. In the 2008-09 season, the Belarusian team eliminated Levski in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League after beating Gerena 1-0 and 1-1 at home. Then the Bulgarian champion was CSKA, but the “blues” participated in the tournament because the “Army” was left without a license.
In the 2009-10 season Litex also left this team – in the Europa League playoffs, after a win for the Hunters as guests – 1: 0, and 0: 4 after extra time in Bulgaria. The coach of the “orange” was Stanimir Stoilov.
Last season, BATE eliminated Piast from Poland and was eliminated from Rosenborg (Norway) in the Champions League. In the Europa League they beat Sarajevo of Bosnia to lose to Astana of Kazakhstan in the playoffs.
