Will BATE stop Bayern?

The German coach thinks BATE is a good rival and Victar Hancharenka admits that the team is in good shape.

Barysau BATE will play with Bayern in Minsk stadium "Dynama" today. It will be the second match of the Champions League for the Barysau team. BATE was stronger than "Lille" in the first match. The score was 3:1 - it was BATE's first victory in the group state of the Champions League.

Both clubs praised one another during pre-match press conferences. However, bookmakers and experts favour Bayern. Bayern won the last 9 matches on end. BATE's advantage is the fact that they will play at home and had more time to practice - the German season has just started.

You can still buy tickets although there are long queues. The match will be broadcast by the TV channel "Belarus-2". The police have promised strict control in the stadium. Bags and rucksacks are not allowed, fireworks and unregistered symbols will be confiscated.
