- Hapoel Tel-Aviv are slight favorites at 49/50 with GKS Dospel Katowice 13/5 and the draw 5/2.
- Hapoel have played 10 games in all competitions and have 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
- GKS have 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats in their last 10 matches.
A cagey encounter is expected between two similar teams
Rafal Gorak has been in charge of the club since 2019 and has a clear vision for the side based on fast transitions and a physical forward style.
The Poles come into this game off the back of a 3-1 home win over MSK Zilina in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, after a 2-1 away loss in the previous leg. Prior to that, they had lost 2-1 away to MSK Zilina in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, lost 2-1 away to Wisla Krakow in Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 and beaten MSK Zilina 3-1 in the home leg of the previous UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 round.
Adam Zrelak leads the line for GKS and his 1 goal in 2 appearances in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 makes him their main man to watch for an anytime scorer bet. Bartosz Nowak has been a clever supplier with 3 assists in the last 5 games, but this is a team that tries to get balls into the box quickly and GKS should look to exploit this tie through the wide channels.
Hapoel are a more sophisticated side under Elyaniv Barda, who has given them a shape. They have a compact back four, build up patiently and look to control the centre of the park. Emmanuel Boateng is their main menace and the 2 goals he scored in 2 UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 games make him their leading threat.
Hapoel can edge a low-scoring affair
Hapoel have 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats in their last 10 games, which isn't great form, but it is good enough to make them slight favourites here. The game will be played at a different rhythm, with Hapoel wanting to slow the tempo, press in a disciplined mid-block and create overloads in the attacking midfield lane. GKS will look to counter quickly, hit on the break and feed second balls.
GKS have won just 0 of their 6 away games this season (D4, L2) and I think they will probably struggle to win this game, although they can certainly get a result. Hapoel have won just 1 of their 4 home games (D1, L2), so they are vulnerable at home too.
Hapoel have scored just 2 goals in their last 4 home games across all competitions, so I'm looking at the BTTS option at 7/10 and under 2.5 goals at 93/100.
