Partizani Team News
Partizani had one of the most uncertain and dramatic battles for the title. Over a month ago, they entered the final round of the Albanian Superliga with the same number of points as KF Tirana, but despite ending up with the same number of points as their main rival, they secured the title due to a better head-to-head record and their victory over Teuta in the last round. This ended a four-year drought and granted them the title and qualification for the Champions League. However, despite this great success, they decided to part ways with coach Giovanni Colella and appointed the well-known former Slaven Belupo coach Zoran Zekic, who will face a fiery baptism on Tuesday.
In terms of squad, Partizani lost one of their top scorers from last season, Klevis Dragaj. To compensate for his performance of 10 goals in 13 matches, they signed young striker Albers Keku. The most expensive investment of the Albanian champions so far is Adnard Mehmeti, a Kosovar midfielder from KF Erzeni, who is likely to be thrown into the action in today’s crucial duel.

BATE Team News
BATE is widely known as a giant of Belarusian football, but they have not been able to capture a new title since their remarkable 13 consecutive championships between 2006 and 2018. However, they benefited the most from the match-fixing scandal as they were granted the right to participate in the Champions League qualifiers despite finishing third last season. Unlike their Albanian opponents, they are in full competitive form as they have already played 14 rounds in the domestic league, where they currently hold a modest fourth position due to a poor start. Nevertheless, they enter the first encounter with Partizani in good form, having secured a 13-0 victory against a lower-league team in the cup and two consecutive league wins, which should significantly boost the team’s morale.
BATE does not have any major issues in their squad ahead of the hot away match in Albania, except for the suspension of forward Denis Laptev, who will most likely be replaced by Aleksandr Shestyuk.

Partizani vs BATE Prediction
The biggest advantage for BATE will be the fact that their league is already underway, so they are in full match fitness and form, while Albanian Partizani played their last competitive match over a month ago. However, Albanian clubs have always proven to be very challenging in European preliminary rounds, and they should never be underestimated on home soil. Today’s match is expected to be a tight and tense encounter with high stakes and not many goals, although the guests still struggle to find a reliable striker who can score consistently.
