AF Elbasani and BATE go head-to-head in the first leg of the Conference League first qualifying round, with the Albanian side preparing for the biggest match in the club's history. As BATE do not seem to be at their sharpest, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-0 home win. Elbasani are set to make their European debut after an impressive domestic campaign in which they finished level on points with Albanian champions Egnatia. Xhonathan Lajthia, who scored nine league goals last season, is expected to spearhead the attack. Although the hosts have been inconsistent recently, they will be encouraged by BATE's poor form and will look to make home advantage count in this historic occasion.
BATE, meanwhile, are enduring a difficult start to the Belarusian Premier League season. The former Belarusian giants find themselves in the relegation zone after suffering three consecutive league defeats, including a narrow 1-0 loss to Gomel last time out. Teenage midfielder Yaroslav Khramtsevich is pushing for a place in the starting XI after an encouraging substitute appearance in that match. BATE have managed just one victory in their last ten competitive games, averaging only one goal per match while failing to score in 40% of those fixtures.
BATE's poor run of form and low confidence make the hosts the more attractive option. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip for this Conference League matchup, alongside Elbasani to Score First and Under 3.5 goals (neither side is likely to turn the first leg into a goal fest).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Tuesday 7 July 2026 at 19:00.
