Match background • BATE will enter the first leg eager to avoid another slow start to a home match given they needed late goals to rescue themselves in their two previous qualifying fixtures, both played at the Gorodskoi Stadion. • Vitali Rodionov's two added-time goals earned a dramatic 3-2 comeback win against FK Vardar in the first leg of BATE's second qualifying round tie, and it then took a 93rd-minute own goal to earn them a 1-1 draw against Debreceni VSC in the third qualifying round – a tie they eventually won 3-1 on aggregate. • Kiryat Shmona set up their visit to the Dinamo Stadion by beating MŠK Žilina 2-1 on aggregate in the second qualifying round and then Neftçi PFK 6-2 on aggregate. Their progress is all the more commendable considering that this is only their second European campaign – the first, in 2008/09, comprised a 4-1 aggregate win over FK Mogren in the UEFA Cup first qualifying round, and subsequent 2-1 aggregate loss to PFC Litex Lovech. • Gil Landau's men are bidding to follow in the footsteps of Maccabi Haifa FC, Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC and Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC and become the fourth Israeli club to compete in the group stage. Team ties • Israel and Belarus have never played a competitive fixture at full international level but they have met in friendlies and in August 2007, BATE's Roman Vasilyuk scored the opening goal in a 2-1 win for Belarus over Israel in Minsk. • At Under-21 level, Daniel Amos kept a clean sheet when Israel U21s beat a Belarus side including BATE's Maksim Bordachev, Aleksandr Volodko and Filipp Rudik in a friendly at Ramat Gan Stadium in August 2008. • BATE coach Viktor Goncharenko tasted defeat in an earlier U21 friendly with Belarus in Israel – a 6-3 reverse featuring two goals from Yossi Benayoun. • Kiryat Shmona's Darko Tasevski appeared as a substitute for PFC Levski Sofia in a 1-0 home loss to BATE in their first leg of the Bulgarian team's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round defeat in 2008/09. • In the most recent competitive encounter between clubs from Belarus and Israel, FC Dinamo Minsk defeated Maccabi Haifa 3-2 on aggregate in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round. • En route to becoming Israel's first participants in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2002/03, Maccabi Haifa overcame Belarus's FC Belshina Bobruisk 5-0 on aggregate in the second qualifying round. Twelve months previously, Maccabi had beaten FC Slavia Mozyr on away goals in the UEFA Cup qualifying round.
