LIVE: Bayer Leverkusen vs BATE Borisov
- There’s just over 15 minutes left to go until until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this evening…
- Despite heading into the Champions League group stage as arguably the weakest side in Group E, a talented and experienced BATE side could prove to be a tough opponent for Leverkusen. Regulars in Europe’s top competition, the Belarusian champions beat Bayern Munich 3-1 just three years ago, and seven of the team that took part in that upset are still part of the side’s squad. Alyaksandr Yermakovich’s men have also lost just three times this year, although one of those defeats came in a nervy encounter away to Partizan in last month’s second-leg play-off clash.
