Hapoel Tel-Aviv

vs

Atalanta Bergamo

Tips, Stats and Odds

The match is finely poised at 0-0

The Reds' 2-1 defeat to GKS Dospel Katowice was followed by a 0-0 draw with Atalanta in their first ever UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 meeting, which sets the tone for a cagey contest. Atalanta are the favourites at 1/2, Hapoel are 5/1 and the draw is 33/10, which seems a bit of a mismatch given the result of their meeting yesterday. The odds are certainly reflecting an overall view that Atalanta are the better side, and La Dea have been in good form so far, with a 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao before the 0-0 draw. Elyaniv Barda's team are compact in a 4-2-3-1, pressing forward and back with energy and intent to try and nick the ball before launching into the transition. They are a dangerous side with pace on the break, but they lack a clinical finish right now, which is the main reason that the tie is level after 180 minutes. Maurizio Sarri's Atalanta have a clearer sense of structure, with more possession and sharper short vertical combinations in the final third. La Dea have won 4, drawn 3, and lost 3 of their last 10 in all competitions, the same record as Hapoel, but they are generally more consistent, particularly in defence.

Sarri's side can win the game

Atalanta are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.10 goals conceded per 90 minutes this season across all competitions, while Hapoel Tel-Aviv average 1.50 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per match in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, but Hapoel are conceding 0.30 more per game than Atalanta in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, so that's where this game will be decided. Atalanta should be able to edge the match, but the 0-0 opener tells us that Hapoel can hold La Dea at bay if they get the press right. We're taking Under 2.5 goals at 11/10 and Both Teams to Score - No at 9/10.
