After destroying Atletico Madrid 5-0 in La Liga, the defending champion Barcelona will visit Belarus to play their second match against BATE Borisov. We all know that Barcelona is the best team in the world for now. It's very difficult to win or draw against Barcelona. In La Liga, Baulgrana now sit on the top position and it seems easily for Barcelona to win La Liga this season.
BATE Borisov vs Barcelona predicted will become a great match and interesting game. FC BATE Borisov will hope for a case of third time lucky when they welcome reigning champions FC Barcelona to Minsk on matchday two.
Barcelona on the first match tied against Italian Giant AC Milan at Camp Nou 2 last weeks. While BATE also tied against Plzen on their first match. All teams on this group have point 1. A win will make them sit on the top position.
BATE enter this contest looking for not just a first victory against Liga opponents but also a first home win in the UEFA Champions League proper.
While Barcelona have never visited Belarus before but Josep Guardiola's men have won their last two away fixtures in the UEFA Champions League and overall last season managed a record on the road of W3 D2 L1.

This will be a stirring match considering the amount of talent that will be sidelined by both squads. Barcelona will be without one of their key creators in Andres Iniesta. The back line will be suspect with Pique doubtful to play as his hamstring injury lingers.
So who will win this match?
