Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Atalanta prediction

THE FORECAST

Atalanta as an established Serie A top club and former Europa League winner is a class above Hapoel Tel Aviv, despite both teams competing in the Conference League. The temperature (max. 30°C) may somewhat slow down Atalanta's pressing, but with 4 days rest after Sassuolo and another 4 days until Bologna there is little reason for major rotation risk. Hapoel have home advantage and a solid defensive foundation (0.8 GA, 3 clean sheets), which makes a narrow Atalanta victory more likely than a comfortable win.
