Atalanta - Hapoel Tel Aviv: Prediction, facts, bets and H2H - August 20, 2026
In a UEFA Conference League qualifying match, Atalanta will face Hapoel Tel Aviv. The game will take place on Thursday, August 20, with kick-off at 20:30 CET. I am offering you a bet on this fixture.
Atalanta - Hapoel Tel Aviv: Match preview
Atalanta finished seventh in the table last season, collecting 59 points from 38 rounds. This earned them a chance to compete in European football despite an inconsistent campaign and a change of manager. They enter the final qualifying round against Hapoel Tel Aviv directly and did not have to go through the earlier rounds. They now face the Israeli side before beginning their Serie A campaign against Sassuolo in the opening round.
Hapoel finished fourth last season and entered the UEFA Conference League qualifying campaign in the second round. First, they eliminated Ludogorets 4-2 on aggregate, before narrowly overcoming Katowice 3-2 on aggregate over two legs. Hapoel have also already played two matches in the Toto Cup, winning both and reaching the final. They now have two Conference League qualifying matches ahead of them, followed by the start of the new Israeli Premier League season on August 30 against Hapoel Haifa.
